The one in the medicine storage room that the servant was speaking of was naturally Bai Fu Rong. Ever since Feng Yu Heng moved her out of her space, she had been placed in the medicine storage room. Every day, she would be given injections at a set time. Normally, she would be taken care of by a reliable servant.
Bai Fu Rong had not woken up the entire time. It was not that she had given her medicine. Instead, her body's functions had deteriorated too quickly, causing her nerves to be unable to handle it. They also began to weaken, causing her to fall into a long coma. Although Feng Yu Heng was not in too much of a rush, she knew that there would come a day when Bai Fu Rong would wake up. Although going from peak to decline was fast, going from decline to peak was too slow. Based on the current progress, Bai Fu Rong's body had plenty of time to adapt and adjust.
But no matter what was said, a person could not remain asleep the entire time. Waking up should be considered a critical point. Only by waking up would the treatment begin to cooperate, and the results would be a little better.
Feng Yu Heng followed the servant and quickly walked toward her own courtyard while asking about the situation. The servant said: "At first, her entire body was trembling. After that, she began to speak nonsense. I could not hear clearly what she was saying. Her eyes were also closed and did not open. Just now, she coughed up another mouthful of blood. This servant saw that things were not too good and wanted to go next door to call young miss back to take a look. "
Feng Yu Heng nodded and did not ask any further. Increasing her pace, she very quickly entered the medicine storage room. Inside the medicine storage room, there were still two maidservants taking care of Bai Fu Rong. Upon seeing Feng Yu Heng arrive, they both let out a sigh of relief. One of them opened the handkerchief in her hand for Feng Yu Heng to see and said: "In less than two hours, she has already coughed up blood twice. Both times are black."
Feng Yu Heng glanced at the handkerchief and had an understanding. She told the maidservants: "The blood that was coughed up is congested blood. It's poison that has accumulated in the body. Grandfather and I used medicine and needles for a long time and finally managed to force some of it out. You should pay more attention. I fear that she will cough up this black blood in the next few days. It will probably continue for three to five days. After that, she will wake up. During these days, the medicine storage room must not be left alone. Keep an eye on her at all times. It's the same at night. " As he spoke, he turned to Wang Chuan beside him and said, "Send a few more people over later. Let them take turns guarding."
When the servants heard that it was a good sign, they let out a sigh of relief. Someone had already taken care of changing Bai Fu Rong's clothes. Just as the clothes were finished changing, Huang Quan, who had been left in the courtyard, pushed open the door and entered. Arriving at Feng Yu Heng's side, he quietly said: "This servant saw craftsman Bai standing outside the entire time. From time to time, he would look in this direction. He should have heard the news and wanted to come over to take a look."
The fact that Bai Fu Rong was in this medicine storage room was not deliberately hidden from craftsman Bai. Before Yao Shu's wedding, Feng Yu Heng had already revealed this matter to him. Thus craftsman Bai coming over was considered normal. She thought for a moment and said to Huang Quan, "Go and invite him in! He should be allowed to take a look. "After saying this, she said to the servants taking care of her:" You can leave for now. Take care of him later. "
The servants quickly left. Even Wang Chuan was not left behind. Only after craftsman Bai entered the room did Huang Quan close the door from the outside. He then stood guard with Wang Chuan on either side.
Craftsman Bai had not seen his daughter for a year, and his heart was filled with longing. But when he saw Bai Fu Rong at this time, this longing turned into a deep hatred. Slamming his fists on the table, the veins on his forehead popped out.
Feng Yu Heng, however, smiled bitterly, "Uncle Bai, don't get too angry. Fu Rong's current situation is already much better. The reason that you were not allowed to see her before was that you might not be able to take it. Don't worry. The method to treat this illness was developed by my maternal grandfather. We have at least a 90% chance of being able to treat Fu Rong. Although she might not be able to return to her previous state after she recovers, she will not be too far off. Uncle, just be at ease. "
What else could craftsman Bai say. Ignoring Feng Yu Heng's objections, he kneeled on the ground and properly saluted her. When he stood up once more, he muttered: "I originally thought that no matter what was said, she was still their flesh and blood. Even if they wanted to use this child, they would not do such a thing. However, who knew that I had thought of them too well. What flesh and blood. In their hearts, they did not take this flesh and blood seriously at all. "
He took the initiative to bring it up; however, Feng Yu Heng did not want to respond. This matter was already an ill-fated relationship. Even if she said it, it would be hard to explain. Back when she had done those things with Kang Yi and Ru Jia, craftsman Bai must have felt uncomfortable from watching from afar; however, who knew if he had any hatred for her at that time. But even if he did, after this incident, Qian Zhou should have completely broken his heart.
Craftsman Bai said to Feng Yu Heng: "The Yao family's marriage has already been completed. There is no longer any reason for this old one to continue living here. Imperial daughter, please send me back to the palace."
Feng Yu Heng asked him: "If uncle does not want to go back, you can stay in my imperial daughter's manor or go back to the Bai manor. I will send some guards over. Nothing will happen."
Craftsman Bai shook his head, "No need. I will go back. She always felt that there was someone in the palace that was secretly controlling the situation. Although Qian Zhou had fallen, the crisis had not truly been resolved. Who exactly was the person hidden in the palace? Even now, there was still no sign of that person. On this trip back to the palace, there is something that I would like to ask imperial daughter to help me say. "
Feng Yu Heng nodded, "Uncle Bai, please speak."
"It's nothing else. I just wanted to ask imperial daughter to speak to the various palaces. Just say that craftsman Bai is old and might not be able to continue making jewelry for many more years. While I am still able to make some more, there is no need to be as restrained as before. If the imperial concubines of the various palaces want anything, they can do it."
His meaning was very clear. Only by opening the doors to guests would they be able to interact with more people. If they wanted to find out where the needle was hidden in the palace, this was the only way.
Feng Yu Heng nodded and complied. The two chatted for a while and agreed to return to the palace the next morning. After that, craftsman Bai was left to accompany Bai Fu Rong for a while before they went their separate ways.
This day was destined to not be peaceful, especially at night.
The Yao manor's new daughter-in-law had entered the manor, and they were having their wedding night. Yao Shu, however, dragged his brothers to drink and eat, unwilling to return. As for Lu Yao, she did not have any servants from the Lu Family at her side, and it was very inconvenient for her to order them around. It was such that she sent someone to the front to look for Yao Shu. After searching three times, they were unable to find him.
The new bride sat awkwardly in the room until her waist and back began to hurt. Finally, when it was close to midnight, she heard the sound of footsteps coming from the yard.
A servant ran over to the door to take a look then turned around and said to her: "Eldest young master has come over. It seems that he drank a little too much."
Lu Yao quickly put on a kind expression and said: "It's fine. Today is a good day. It's normal for a bridegroom to drink a little too much." Because they had already caused a ruckus during the day, there was no need for her to cover her head with a veil. She immediately stood up and sent a servant to fetch some clean water for the eldest young master to wash up. She then sent someone to heat up some soup to sober him up. Like this, the two servants that were taking care of the room were sent away. Taking advantage of the time before Yao Shu entered, she quickly walked over to the candlestick and quickly removed a hairpin from her hair. That hairpin actually had something inside. Lu Yao twisted the hairpin and quickly poured the powder that was hidden inside into the candle. The powder mixed with the wax and very quickly mixed together. It was colorless and odorless.
After doing all of this, she picked up a pair of scissors and began cutting at the candle wick. At this time, Yao Shu pushed open the door and happened to see her cutting the candle wick. He could not help but ask: "What are you doing?"
Lu Yao put down the scissors and went forward to help him. The maidservants saw that the newlyweds had entered the room and could no longer take care of them, thus they all retreated. Lu Yao helped Yao Shu sit down in bed while saying to him: "Cutting the candle wick on the night of the wedding is a rule. It's a good sign. This concubine just heard that husband had returned and quickly finished cutting the candle wick. I hope that we … can be together for a long time."
Yao Shu looked at Lu Yao; however, his gaze was no longer as loving as it had been in the past. During the day, Lu Yao had cried and complained to him that she had been defiled when she was young. She had tried to die a few times; however, her family had saved her. She begged him to either help her or personally kill her. Even if she died, she wanted to die at the hands of her beloved. If she was exposed in front of everyone, it would be better for her to just kill herself.
Yao Shu already had feelings for Lu Yao, and he could not bear to see her look like she wanted to die. Moreover, she was also a victim of being defiled. Since he had married her, he should properly dote on her. At that time, he was soft-hearted and took the initiative to say a few good words to the granny, allowing her to stay. But he was, after all, a man. He thought that his new wife was a pure and innocent young lady, but he did not expect that she was no longer a virgin. He did not feel good about it, so he dragged his brothers out to drink and did not return.
But even if he could hide for a while, he could not hide forever. For the sake of not allowing his parents, aunts and grandfather to see any clues, he still had to grit his teeth and return. Now that he looked at Lu Yao, he was no longer as affectionate as before.
How could Lu Yao not understand what Yao Shu was thinking. She did not force him. She just helped the numb Yao Shu wash up, change his clothes, remove his shoes and socks. Only after sending him to the bed did she pick up a pillow from the side of the bed and quietly retreat.
Yao Shu was startled and asked in confusion: "Where are you going?"
Lu Yao smiled bitterly, "Husband being able to help this concubine and the Lu Family's reputation is already a great grace for this concubine. I absolutely do not dare continue to serve husband with my broken body. Husband, rest well. This concubine will sleep on the soft bed in the outer room. If husband needs anything, just call me. "
After saying this, she quietly retreated and kindly placed the screen in front of the bed to block it.
Her actions caused Yao Shu to feel a little surprised, and he faintly felt a little distressed, especially when she said "I absolutely do not dare continue to serve husband with my broken body." This caused Yao Shu to feel that he really was a man. His wife had suffered a grievance when she was young, but not only did he not show any concern, instead, he felt a bit of disdain. How could this be the spirit that the Yao family's men should have?
Although he thought like this, he could not bring himself to go and pull Lu Yao back. After all, everyone knew what would happen in the bridal chamber. He was thinking a little too much. He always felt that if he forcefully pulled Lu Yao back, it would cause others to feel that he was a man with the heart of a beast.
Thinking like this, he decided that there would be plenty of time in the future. He would have to take good care of Lu Yao's heart. When she no longer had any burdens, it would not be too late to consummate the marriage.
With a plan in mind, he calmed down and closed his eyes to prepare to sleep. But who knew if it was because he had drunk too much wine that he was a little too excited, or if it was because it was the bridal chamber to begin with, but although there was no bride present, it was inevitable that he would become restless. Yao Shu lay in bed and felt that his body was incomparably hot. An inexplicable impulse filled his body, and even his breathing was hot. There was always a sort of impulse that surged forth, forcing him to sit up. He looked outside through the screen and subconsciously shouted: "Wife."
