Several eunuchs responded to the Empress and immediately got to work.
"Hold on!"
Darryl squeezed out the crowd and said, "Summer is not dead yet. We can still save her!"
The crowd was stunned to hear that; they turned their eyes on Darryl!
How could the Prince Consort say that Summer could still be saved when Doctor Soros could not do anything to help her!
Was the Prince Consort also a medical doctor?
Quincy furrowed her eyebrows; she glanced at Darryl coldly, but she did not say anything!
Doctor Soros was stunned. Then he looked at Darryl as he forced a faint smile on his face. "Prince Consort, I've checked her thoroughly. Summer's no longer breathing; there is nothing we can do to bring her back to life!"
Darryl smiled and said, "And I'm telling you that we can still save her!"
He defended himself adamantly!
Doctor Soros's eyes flickered as he asked, "Prince Consort, have you studied medicine before?"
Darryl shook his head.
Doctor Soros chuckled. "Prince Consort, Summer is the Princess' personal maid. I know that you do not want to see her in this state, but it doesn't look like we can save her. This is a fact!"
Doctor Soros tried to suppress the unhappiness in his heart when he said that! He had practiced medicine for decades as an imperial physician, and even then, he could not save Summer. Yet, the Prince Consort insisted that she could still be saved; that put Doctor Soros on the spot.
"Darryl!" Quincy could not take it anymore; she rebuked coldly, "What's the matter with you? Get out of here!"
Quincy was already upset about Summer; she was even more annoyed at Darryl as she thought he had created a disturbance.
Did the Prince Consort know about feng shui as well?
The Empress was curious and said, "Darryl, since you said it has something to do with feng shui, then tell us how we can save Summer!"
The Empress thought it was bizarre for the situation to be related to feng shui, but she had decided to give Darryl a chance to prove himself when she saw the serious look on his face.
Darryl smiled and began to explain. "This pool in front of us is a feng shui pool. I guess the builders built it here to garner good qi when the palace was built. The sun often shines on the south side of the pool; this side is the yang, whereas the north side is the yin. Summer was disturbed by the pool's yin and yang qi when she walked past, and she must have fainted immediately. Then, she must have fallen into the pool where the yin and yang intersect. The yin and yang qi entered her body and caused her to be unconscious!"
At the end of the explanation, Darryl looked relaxed. "Actually, Summer is okay. We'll just need to apply a little cinnabar to her philtrum, then move her under the sun. After the malefic yang qi in her body dissipates, she'll be alright!"
Everyone present was stunned to hear the feng shui theory.
"Darryl!"
After a few seconds, Quincy reacted. She held back her anger and said, "What yin and yang, and malefic yang qi you are talking about? Nonsense! Get lost now!"
