Chapter 55: A Mistake

Cheng Nianying's expression remained unchanged. Without even looking at the servant on the ground, she simply turned her head and ordered, "Go tell the prince."

As soon as Cheng Nianying stepped into the yard where Fu Ruiming was recuperating, the news reached Fu Yi's ears.

Wu Xun was stunned: "Another candied fruit?"

After saying that, he quickly turned around to see his master's reaction.

Fu Yi remained calm as he flipped through the "Ziren Yizhi" in his hand. He said, "This is my first time being someone's cousin's wife. It's a new experience."

Does that mean just let her go?

Will you still be on guard in the future?

Wu Xun was just pondering this when another person came in, bowing, "Master, Master Fu's injury hasn't healed at all. The Princess has sent us here to report this."

"Go and take a look." Fu Yi put down the book.

The imperial physician arrived first.

He took the oil lamp and illuminated the wound, frowning, "That shouldn't have happened. I was afraid there might be some poison left, so I cut it out with a knife."

"Where's the medicine?" He held out his hand.

The servant quickly got up from the ground and brought the lacquer tray to him.

The imperial physician picked up the cloth, leaned forward and sniffed it. "Hmm, the medicine hasn't been tampered with. It's definitely the scent of the palace's golden ointment."

He began to check the medicines that Fu Ruiming took every day, and found nothing unusual.

"What went wrong?"

The imperial physician's brows furrowed tighter and tighter, and finally he looked up at Fu Ruiming helplessly, "Could it be that Master Fu hasn't been eating or resting well every day?"

The servant outside the door whispered, "Prince."

Immediately afterwards, the sound of wooden wheels rolling over the ground was heard, and Fu Yi appeared in front of everyone.

"How is it?" he asked the imperial physician first.

The imperial physician looked embarrassed and said, "I'm sure the medicine I used is absolutely correct."

At this time, Fu Yi's sleeves moved.

Cheng Nianying was pulling him.

Fu Yi immediately turned sideways.

"I'll just say he looks like a quack." Cheng Nianying whispered in his ear.

Fu Yi didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Prince..." the imperial physician called out awkwardly at this moment, "You know me."

Fu Yi said "hmm" and reached out to take the medicines to check them one by one.

"Thank you for your help, brother." Fu Ruiming said apologetically.

He no longer had the coldness and taciturnity he showed to others.

Fu Yi waved his hand: "Fortunately, your cousin's wife found out. If it had been delayed any longer, I'm afraid your leg would have been ruined."

Fu Ruiming pursed his lips, feeling a little scared.

"That's why it's so easy to kill someone in the army. When changing the dressings, if even one step is not done properly, or if someone accidentally catches a cold, even the most formidable general can be killed."

Fu Yi paused and said, "You should move to the inner courtyard."

This means that people who come into contact with Fu Ruiming will be more strictly monitored.

Cheng Nianying nodded secretly after hearing this.

Prince Danshuo is very familiar with their methods of killing.

Fu Ruiming looked embarrassed: "How can this be?"

Fu Yihun didn't care: "The inner courtyard of the mansion is simple, and I don't have any concubines or maids around me, so it's okay for you to live there. Recovering from your injuries is the most important thing. His Majesty will need you in a month at the latest, and there is no time to delay."

Fu Ruiming stopped refusing immediately.

The imperial physician asked hopefully, "Does the prince have any idea about Master Fu's injury?"

Fu Yi repeatedly stroked the cloth bandage that was used to bandage the wound and was already coated with dressing.

"It seems like a coincidence."

"Why does the prince say that?" The imperial physician leaned forward.

Fu Yi threw the cloth to him: "Feel it carefully."

"It's a little... wet." The imperial physician immediately realized, "Someone below was careless and used it before it was dried?"

The servant shook his head repeatedly: "How dare I make such a mistake? I pick new ones every day..."

Fu Yi interrupted: "Your hands are wet."

Imperial Physician: "Oh! Did it come in contact with raw water?"

Fu Yi turned around and asked, "Who arranged the waiters?"

The maid standing behind with a dull face replied, "It should be Miss Mu He. Madam Shi is more likely to be in charge of the affairs of the Princess's Courtyard."

"Go and call the people over."

"yes."

When Mu He received the message, he didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

Prince Danshuo is an excellent master.

He would be very concerned about his subordinates and officers when they fell ill, not to mention his cousin.

I guess after the visit, he felt that something was missing from Lord Fu's place, so he called her over to buy some more things.

"You guys continue to pound the flowers, and make them finer." Mu He gave a hurried instruction and got up to rush over there.

It got darker as we went.

When we got outside, we saw several figures reflected on the doors and windows.

Are there a lot of people inside? Mu He was startled and pushed the door open.

"Master." She bowed and found that the princess was also there.

I heard that the Princess of the County had come to visit a while ago. She was not stupid at all and even knew how to win over the people around the Prince of the County.

Countless thoughts flashed through Mu He's mind.

"Who were the people you arranged to serve Lord Fu?" Fu Yi asked calmly.

Mu He was stunned for a moment: "It's Zi Tao, Hua Mei and the others..."

Giving out the names also proves that she has put a lot of thought into selecting people.

They are all people close to me, so of course there is no perfunctory attitude.

Fu Yi pointed at the servant and said, "Oh? Then why is there only one rough-handed servant left?"

Fu Ruiming didn't want to cause unrest in the mansion, so he quickly said, "My wound was too hideous, and I saw they were afraid, so I didn't let them serve me."

Fu Yi lowered his eyes, picked up an ornament from a high table nearby, and threw it to the ground.

There was a loud "bang".

Everyone present trembled violently.

The fragments splashed onto Mu He's shoes, causing her expression to change suddenly. She knelt down without thinking.

"It is my fault for negligence."

"The Princess Consort wasn't afraid at all. Are they more noble than the Princess Consort?" Fu Yi asked calmly.

Mu He's throat tightened, and for some reason, she suddenly felt a great fear hanging over her head.

She knew she had done something wrong.

She was wrong. She shouldn't have thought of using a close palace maid.

Those little bitches must be so disrespectful just because they rely on their closeness to her... If it were a few insignificant people, they might not dare to be so hands-off.

"Please punish me, Your Majesty." Mu He bowed his head, not daring to say a word of excuse.

Fu Ruiming wanted to speak up to smooth things over.

After all, these palace maids were sent by the emperor... But thinking of what his brother said, even the princess of a county is not afraid, yes. Fu Ruiming couldn't help but glance in the direction of his cousin's wife again.

Cheng Nianying sat as steady as a mountain.

She has a slender figure.

But in Fu Ruiming's eyes, he felt that her figure vaguely overlapped with his brother's.

It seems like they are the same kind of people.

"From now on, you will sleep in Lord Fu's outer room, and prepare and change the medicine for him every day." Fu Yi looked at the imperial physician.

The imperial physician bowed hurriedly in response.

"But he still has to take care of his brother..." Fu Ruiming didn't quite agree.

"Your cousin will take care of her."

Cheng Nianying secretly agreed, yes, let this quack go away.

Fu Yi: "Let's go." He grabbed Cheng Nianying's hand.

Mu He did not hear the details of the punishment and could only watch Fu Yi leave with the Princess.

Just because there is no follow-up doesn’t mean it won’t be dealt with.

But...it will be handed over to the emperor for disposal.
