Lady Xue fainted after seeing her daughter, shocking Xue Bozhen so much that he seemed to lose half his soul.
Fortunately, Qin Liuxi had medical skills at hand. After checking her pulse, he discovered that it was a sudden upset attack of the heart, caused by long days of worry, leading to sleepless nights and an increase in liver fire. Plus, she had traveled a hundred miles in the severe cold, so both her body and mind were exhausted.
Lady Xue was suffering from a self-imposed illness. Luckily, she came from a General's family, had practiced martial arts, and had a strong physical foundation. As long as she recuperated carefully and eased her stress, it wouldn't be a big problem.
For now, Qin Liuxi didn't prescribe any medicine. He gave her a round of acupuncture to remove the cold energy from her body, lit a calming incense, and gave Xue Bozhen some ointment.
