Chapter 133 Added Ingredients

Ziyuan took the medicine, smelled it, nodded, and said, "These are top-quality wound medicines, very hard to find on the market. What will she do if you give them to me?"

Ordinary girls are soft-hearted and would never disregard their own lives. At this moment, she was already terrified. Ziyuan looked at Lin Yuesha and asked the question that had been on her mind.

"Just leave me a tiny bit of the strong flavor, that's fine."

Lin Yuesha examined the medicine bottle, only selecting the large quantity and strong-smelling herbs, and poured a little onto a handkerchief.

She didn't want such good medicine to go to Xuan Yao. If the guards came to search the place later, and if Granny Xiao came back to check on Xuan Yao's application of the medicine, she would have to have an excuse to cover it up.

"Sister Ziyuan, don't delay, hurry up and apply the medicine."

The bleeding wouldn't stop, which was an eyesore to Lin Yuesha. Such a beautiful woman was rare in the world; if she were left with scars, it would be less beautiful.

Ziyuan rolled up her sleeve, revealing her slender arm, and casually took out a small porcelain bottle to pour medicine onto the wound.

Lin Yuesha stared intently at the wound and discovered that the medicine had a remarkable effect; she could clearly see that the bleeding rate had slowed down.

"There's one bottle left. Are you really not going to leave any for that person?"

Ziyuan asked again.

Lin Yuesha waved her hand and recounted what had happened. If she hadn't been quick-witted enough to discover the anomaly, she would have been the unlucky one who fell into the well and drowned.

As it stands, although she escaped one disaster, Xuan Yao is still holding onto her and has made her some kind of maid, to be a servant in the Zhenbei Prince's mansion.

There are countless unknown risks involved, making it very difficult for her.

"If you repay evil with kindness, how will you repay kindness? The fact that I didn't kill her while she was unconscious is already the greatest mercy I could show."

Lin Yuesha crossed her arms. The education she received in her previous life made her hesitant to do it, but she was perfectly capable of standing by and watching someone die without any psychological burden.

Xuan Yao's injuries are serious. If she doesn't receive timely treatment, she may develop an infection, which could be very dangerous.

"You're really different from other girls."

Ziyuan tore off a piece of his shirt to bandage his wound; he could tie a knot in the strip of cloth with ease using only one hand.

Tonight, Lin Yuesha witnessed a hidden side of Ziyuan. She wasn't surprised; in fact, she already knew a little about it back at Zuifeng Tower.

If the other party wanted to kill her to silence her, they wouldn't have helped her at all; they would have done it long ago. Why wait until now?

"Little girl, I'll leave you this medicine; I have to make it look like this."

Ziyuan looked up to touch Lin Yuesha's head, but found blood from his wound flowing onto his palm, so he stopped.

A sharp whistle rang out from outside the door.

"Xiao Xiaoya, I have to go now. If you have any difficulties at the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion, go to the kitchen and find Granny Yu. She will help you."

After Ziyuan finished speaking, she waved her hand, opened the window, and leaped into the night.

The person left without leaving any trace.

Lin Yuesha closed the window, feeling utterly lost. She didn't know Ziyuan's identity, nor whether her actions were right or wrong; in any case, this was the only choice she could make.

Lin Yuesha found some fine flour among the crumbs of the pastry, mixed it with the remaining wound medicine, and the amount appeared to be more.

Lin Yuesha poured the laced medicine onto Xuan Yao's wounds, then sat in a corner, waiting for the guards from the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion to search the area.

As a result, they waited all night, but no one came.

The snow fell heavily all night, gradually lessening into scattered snowflakes after dawn.

At night, Xuan Yao developed a high fever. Lin Yuesha guessed that Xuan Yao was conscious, so she pretended to get some water and wiped her body to cool her down.

"How is he?"

Granny Xiao brought Hongtao over to check on Xuan Yao, and used her hand to check Xuan Yao's breathing.

In the morning, the Prince of Zhenbei suddenly remembered this person and specifically inquired about the situation.

"She developed a high fever at night, and I had no choice but to use snow water to cool her down, since I was afraid to go out."

In any case, Lin Yuesha did all the superficial work that needed to be done.

"Lin girl, come and eat."

Granny Xiao looked at Lin Yuesha with pity. The little girl was unlucky. If Xuan Yao died and the prince didn't interfere, she could make the decision herself to send her home.

Last night, something unexpected happened, and the prince remembered her. For a short time, Granny Xiao was unable to make decisions on her own.

"The prince said that once we return to the palace, he will make Miss Xuan his concubine."

Granny Xiao hinted to Lin Yuesha that she shouldn't be too careless before the person died, and that even though the two had a grudge, she shouldn't go too far.

Lin Yuesha immediately understood the implied meaning in Xiao Mama's words and nodded obediently.

At the Prince of Zhenbei's mansion, she was not alone; she had Granny Yu from the kitchen, who was one of Ziyuan's people.

"Um……"

Xuan Yao's face turned as red as a boiled shrimp. She tried to turn over, but the piercing pain made her sweat profusely and even made it difficult to breathe.

"Eat quickly, we'll be down the mountain at Chenshi (7-9 AM) sharp."

After giving her instructions, Granny Xiao left Hongtao behind to serve Xuan Yao together.

Hongtao was a little unhappy. She was applying medicine to Xuanyao's body when Xuanyao scratched her with her sharp nails, leaving a bloody mark on her face.

"ah!"

Red Peach exclaimed in surprise, looked at her reflection in the basin of water, and immediately burst into tears.

"Sister Red Peach, it's my fault. I'll take care of these things."

There's a term called "displaced anger," and these snobbish servants in the Prince's mansion are adept at it. No matter how arrogant Hongtao is, it's useless. Now Xuanyao is Zhenbeiwang's concubine, her mistress.

"How can you blame yourself! She's the one who killed our master. Does she think she can be so smug for long?"

Humans are so strange. Hongtao was originally angry at Lin Yuesha for being tactless and only caring about eating, but when Lin Yuesha admitted her mistake, she immediately transferred all her anger to Xuanyao.

The "master" that Red Peach was referring to was the concubine who fell into the well and died.

"Sister Red Peach, how did the girl get injured?"

Lin Yuesha and Hongtao inquired whether Xuan Yao had such a scheming intention, taking the arrow for the Prince of Zhenbei. If so, this was bad news!

Men may not like women like Xuan Yao, but if she's willing to risk her life for him, that's a different story.

Critical moments are when people's hearts are truly tested.

"puff……"

Hongtao tapped Lin Yuesha's head and sneered, "Have you been reading too many romance novels? The beauty saves the hero?"

With Xuan Yao's plain face, she doesn't fit the description of a beauty at all.

"The prince wanted to favor the young lady, but unexpectedly, a man in black appeared. The prince then used the young lady as a human shield to protect himself."

That's the situation. Xuan Yao was forced to shield the Prince of Zhenbei from an arrow, and luckily, she survived.

Lin Yuesha twitched her lips. This was indeed something the Prince of Zhenbei had done. Even so, Xuan Yao had shielded the Prince of Zhenbei from a fatal blow, so she deserved credit for her hard work, if not merit.

Thinking about the days to come, Lin Yuesha sighed again. She had to keep Xuan Yao in line, otherwise it would be difficult to gain her freedom.
