Lucky Farmer Girl: I rely on metaphysics to support my family

Chapter 839 Helping Hand
A moment later, Zhao Jinglan's head maid came over to report: "Your Highness, Your Highness, the young master said that after wearing it, he initially felt some warmth and his mind seemed a little clearer."

Then, the maid stammered, "But when I took the brocade pouch just now, I noticed that the color of the pouch seemed to have darkened a bit, and it felt a little cold to the touch."

As she spoke, the maid held the brocade pouch above her head for the princess to examine.

Princess Changqing and Xuanyuan Che exchanged a glance, both feeling a chill run down their spines.

The War King immediately said, "Quickly bring it here so I can take a look!"

The maidservant hurriedly went to fetch the brocade pouch.

The once elegant brocade pouch now had a faint gray-black sheen on its surface and felt icy to the touch, a stark contrast to the warm and smooth feel it had given off more than an hour ago!

“This…” Princess Changqing’s expression changed; this did not seem like a normal phenomenon at all.

The War King's expression was solemn as he carefully untied the brocade pouch and took out the triangular talisman inside.

The talisman paper, which was originally bright yellow, had now turned gray and was icy cold to the touch!
The War King took a deep breath, looked at Princess Changqing, and said in a heavy tone, "Aunt, it seems that Cousin Lan has probably really been tainted by something unclean in the Western Mountains. Ordinary imperial physicians may not be able to cure him completely."

Princess Changqing looked at the strangely cold talisman, then at her son's pale face, her heart filled with shock and fear. For a moment, she didn't know what to do. She could only look at the War King and say in a choked voice, "Then... what should we do? Fourth Prince, since you know how powerful this thing is, could Miss Tang... could she cure it?"

The War King said with great certainty, "Since Miss Tang can draw this talisman to detect evil spirits, she must have a way to resolve it. However, she needs to personally diagnose Cousin Lan, so I'm afraid we'll need to invite Miss Tang to our residence for this matter."

Princess Changqing had no further doubts and nodded repeatedly: "Good, good! Have Miss Tang come over! I will send someone to invite the second young lady of the Tang family right away. Fourth brother, you must ask Miss Tang to go and do her best!"

Upon hearing this, the War King quickly reassured Princess Changqing: "Aunt, don't worry. Miss Tang is kind-hearted and skilled, and will do her best. Aunt, don't be anxious. I'll stay here with you. Miss Tang will definitely have a solution."

Even if it were a stranger, let alone her own aunt, Wan'er wouldn't stand idly by in this situation.

Princess Changqing instructed her most trusted nanny, "Go personally. Take my carriage to the Tang residence now and make sure to invite Miss Tang Er to come over immediately! Tell her that I have important matters to discuss with her."

This concerned Lan'er's life. Princess Changqing no longer cared whether it was late at night or whether it was in accordance with etiquette; her son's condition terrified her.

Knowing the seriousness of the situation, the nanny dared not delay and quickly accepted the order and left.

In the darkness of night, the princess's carriage came to a steady stop outside the gates of the Tang residence.

The princess's guards who were accompanying her stepped forward and knocked on the door. The gatekeeper, seeing the illustrious carriage, dared not be negligent and quickly opened the side door to inquire.

The old nanny, dressed in a dark blue vest and with a dignified face, did not get out of the carriage. Instead, a maidservant handed her a name card. Her voice was not loud but clear and strong: "This old servant is the head nanny of Princess Changqing's residence. My surname is Yan. I have been ordered by Her Highness the Princess to have an important matter to discuss with the lady of your household. Please inform her."

Upon hearing that it was someone from the princess's residence, the gatekeeper accepted the visiting card with both hands and, without delay, immediately ran to report to the inner courtyard.

Wang Shi had just finished some housework and was chatting with Tang Wan and Tang Jing in her room when she heard that a nanny from Princess Changqing's residence had come to see her late at night with a formal invitation. She was surprised.

Tang Wan understood that the spirit-detecting talisman might have worked, and the young master of the princess's residence was probably in trouble.

After calming herself down, Wang instructed the gatekeeper, "Please come to the main hall quickly and have some tea. I'll be right there."

Then she said to Tang Wan, "Jing'er, Wan'er, come with me to see them." The three women straightened their clothes and went to the main hall.

Granny Yan had been led to the hall. She did not sit down, but stood and waited. When she saw Madam Wang enter, she immediately stepped forward and bowed respectfully: "This old servant, Granny Yan, greets Madam Tang. I apologize for disturbing you so late at night."

He was impeccably polite and respectful, but a look of worry was hard to hide between his brows.

Madam Wang quickly offered a gesture of support: "Please rise, Granny Yan. May I ask what Her Highness the Princess wishes to do for you, Granny Yan, coming so late at night?"

Madam Wang gestured for the nanny to sit down and talk.

Granny Yan thanked her, but only sat down slightly on the edge of the chair, leaning forward a little. Her speech was a bit fast, but she remained measured: "Madam, there is an extremely urgent matter that forced Her Highness to send this old servant. This afternoon, the young prince suddenly fell ill. The imperial physician's treatment has not improved his condition; in fact, it has worsened. Her Highness has heard that your second young lady may know some unconventional treatment methods. In her desperation, Her Highness is determined to try anything, and has therefore sent this old servant to earnestly request that the second young lady come to the manor to examine the young prince. I sincerely hope that Madam and the second young lady will understand Her Highness's love for her son and lend a helping hand!"

As she spoke, her gaze fell upon Tang Wan and Tang Jing, who were standing beside Madam Wang. The nanny from the Princess's residence had never met the two Tang sisters before, and looking at the two women who were of similar age, she was unsure which one was the Second Miss Tang.

However, the nanny was not in a hurry to ask.

Granny Yan's words just now were very skillful.

She did not use horrifying terms such as "evil spirits" or "talismans" directly, but only emphasized "emergency illness," "the imperial physicians were helpless," and "unconventional methods." She did not speak directly because she was afraid that the Tang family would not make a big fuss about this matter.

Wang knew what the old woman had left unsaid, but the matter made her feel somewhat panicked. Her heart tightened, and she looked at Tang Wan with questioning eyes.

Since it concerned the princess's son, she was somewhat worried, fearing that her daughter might not be able to cure him, and even more so that if she couldn't cure him, it would cause trouble.

Tang Wan caught her mother Wang's gaze, stepped forward, curtsied to Granny Yan, and calmly said, "Granny, you flatter me. Her Highness the Princess has summoned me, and I should not refuse."

Seeing this, the old nanny quickly returned the bow to Tang Wan: "Second Miss is so righteous, this old servant thanks you in advance!"

Granny Yan dared not be presumptuous, after all, the person in front of her was her young prince's lifeline, and also the future Princess Consort of the War King. No matter how you looked at it, she was someone who had to be taken very seriously.

Tang Wan said gently, "There's no need for you to be so polite, Granny."

Then, she turned to Madam Wang and said, “Mother, since Her Highness the Princess has personally sent someone to invite me, and His Highness the Prince of War has also entrusted me with this task before, I am willing to go and do my best. Please grant me permission, Mother.”

Seeing that Tang Wan was calm and mentioned the War King, Wang felt somewhat relieved, since in her mind the War King was still a reliable person.

She also knew that her daughter was independent and had her own opinions, and since this matter involved the princess's residence, she probably couldn't refuse.

Madam Wang sighed and said to Granny Yan, "In that case, let my daughter go with you. However, my daughter is young and inexperienced, so please forgive her if she does anything wrong."

Granny Yan was overjoyed and thanked them repeatedly: "Madam and Second Miss are so kind and righteous! Her Highness the Princess will surely remember them!"

Madam Wang personally escorted them to the second gate, watching Tang Wan board the princess's carriage with worry in her eyes.
