Chapter 26 Chapter 26 Awkward Period
Now Baoyu got into trouble, and all the people in the Jia family gathered in Qingxi Garden. Wu Tianyue saw that there were so many people and was afraid that Daiyu would be bumped into, so he hurriedly brought her out.
Daiyu was terrified, and worried that she had upset Baoyu, so she cried, "Maybe it's because of me. I can't just leave like this."
"What does it have to do with you? I was there too. I don't have a good relationship with him. If anything happens, it should be my fault." Wu Tianyue didn't know what the two talked about, but thinking of Baoyu's previous hostility towards him, he thought it might be related to him. And now the most important thing is to calm Daiyu down first, so he forcefully took her to Yihong Courtyard.
Lan Ye is guarding the Yihong Courtyard, and the courtyard is full of people from the palace, so it is much quieter than outside.
Seeing Daiyu weeping uncontrollably, Wu Tianyue held her hand and said, "Don't be afraid. I'll go check on her. If anything happens, I'll send someone to call you."
Daiyu felt the warmth from his hand, and her heart was at peace. She nodded with tears in her eyes.
Wu Tianyue looked at her red eyes from crying and felt so distressed. He secretly made up his mind that if she wanted to avoid suspicion, it would be up to her, but he had to keep an eye on her. Baoyu absolutely would not allow her to be as panicked and uncomfortable as she was today.
Thinking of this, he reached out to wipe the tears from Daiyu's face, ordered Lan Ye to take good care of her, and turned around to go out to Qingxi Garden.
Before entering Qingxi Garden, he saw Feng Jieer coming in from outside with a steel knife in hand. Wu Tianyue was afraid that she would hurt someone, but it was not easy to go forward. As he was hesitating, Mrs. Wang's companion and several strong and courageous maids came up to hug her, took away the knife, and carried Feng Jieer back to the room.
Wu Tianyue saw everyone crying and the garden in chaos. He wondered if anyone had been arranged to call a doctor, so he ordered someone to call the imperial physician.
Fortunately, when the emperor moved to the Grand View Garden, he realized that he had gone too far, so he rewarded Wu Tianyue with an imperial physician whom he often used, and asked him to live in the house bought by the princess next to the Jia Mansion. Whenever the maid called him from outside the garden, he would come quickly.
After the imperial physician examined Baoyu and Fengjie, he did not find any problems. He could only give them acupuncture to calm them down and then prescribe some tranquilizers.
The imperial physician invited by the Jia family arrived soon, but he couldn't find anything wrong.
Seeing that medicine had no effect, Jia Zheng and others went to invite some immortals and witches. Relatives also sent talismans and recommended monks and Taoists, but none of them worked. Baoyu and Fengjie became more and more unconscious, and kept talking nonsense. The maids and old women who were serving them were so scared that they dared not come forward.
The crowd was helpless, so they moved the two men to Lady Wang's room and asked Jia Yun and others to take turns to watch over them with the servants.
Daiyu also became increasingly guilty and worried. Wu Tianyue saw that her face was getting worse and worse, and without caring about anything else, he asked the system: "What happened to Baoyu and the others? Do you have any solution?"
[This should be part of the original storyline, but I'm offline right now. I can only look up things that happened previously, and there's nothing I can do about it.] The system replied, [And I do have a solution. You can help me figure it out, but I can't interfere. I'd be breaking the rules and be expelled by the Heavenly Dao. The mission isn't complete yet. If I'm expelled, you won't survive either.]
After hearing this, Wu Tianyue had to give up. Thinking that the abbot of Huguo Temple was the only one who had figured out and believed that the system really existed, he reported to Princess Zhongshun and sent someone to invite the abbot of Huguo Temple.
The host came to the Jia Mansion in person and chanted a sutra for the two of them. Baoyu and Fengjie were awake for a moment, but soon they returned to their old state.
Seeing that even the Huguo Temple was of no use, Jia Zheng said there was no hope. He was also afraid that his crying would upset Lady Jia and others, so he ordered people to prepare for the funeral of the two.
The Rong and Ning mansions were never good at keeping secrets, and this incident had become a big deal. When the Emperor learned of this, he was worried that something might have happened to Wu Tianyue, so he hurriedly summoned him to the palace. Seeing that he looked energetic, he breathed a sigh of relief, but still said, "This Jia Mansion is too unlucky. You should stay in the palace for a few days. Once the matter over there is settled, you can have the things moved out."
Daiyu was now restless and frightened day and night. How could Wu Tianyue abandon her? She was unwilling to do so. "Uncle Emperor, since everyone else in the palace is fine, it means it's not a serious matter. Besides, if I run away right after something happens, won't others think the royal family is cowardly?"
Prince Zhongshun and his wife also rushed over. After hearing what Wu Tianyue said, they were afraid that if something happened to Daiyu, it would be bad for Wu Tianyue as well. But they couldn't take Daiyu out at this time. They also said that the Jia family was busy now and it would be too conspicuous if Wu Tianyue moved out.
Although the emperor loved the gentle prince more, he was also very concerned about his reputation, just like the second prince. Seeing that the three members of the family were so persistent, he carefully instructed Wu Tianyue and rewarded him with two exclusive imperial doctors before letting him go back.
Wu Tianyue was thinking about Daiyu, so he ordered Fei Yan and others to go slowly and not disturb others. He then rode a fast horse back to the Jia Mansion first.
Fei Yan and others knew that he was a good rider and since they were in the inner city, they were not afraid of anything happening and followed behind him.
As Wu Tianyue arrived at the door, he saw a bald monk and a lame Taoist coming out of the Jia Mansion. He thought they were the people Jia She had called to treat Baoyu and the other one, so he took a look at them, then looked away, dismounted and prepared to enter.
Unexpectedly, the two men walked straight towards him and asked, "May I know who you are, sir?"
Wu Tianyue looked at the two of them warily: "Who are you? Why are you asking this?"
The monk and the Taoist did not answer. They counted on their fingers several times and said, "Things have changed." They looked at Wu Tianyue in surprise.
Wu Tianyue was about to ask more when Fei Yan and the others caught up and surrounded the two of them, saying, "Don't be rude."
The monk and the Taoist did not answer. They broke through the encirclement in a few flashes and left in a hurry.
No one could figure out how they did it. Wu Tianyue asked the system in surprise: [Are they some kind of otherworldly masters? How did they do it?]
[They should be monks or Taoist priests with some abilities.] The system replied, [I show here that they are just ordinary people.]
[How could they have discovered you just now?]
[I don't know.] The system replied, [It's also possible that they discovered you were dying.]
[Wouldn't they be able to drive you away or expose my identity?]
[Don't worry, this little world already has its own gods and ghosts, but they can't interfere with human karma.]
The system suddenly jumped up and said, "What do you want to do? You still can't tolerate me, right? Don't dream. I came here with the permission of this heavenly realm. As long as I don't interfere with other people's karma and don't do something as serious as killing the male and female protagonists, I can't be expelled!"
Seeing that it was angry, Wu Tianyue said a few words to comfort it before entering the Grand View Garden.
He learned from Lan Ye that a monk and a Taoist priest had come today, and Baoyu and his companion had recovered a lot after being cured by them. He was surprised that these two people, who looked dirty, were not only good at martial arts, but also had such abilities. He also heard that Daiyu and others were waiting in Lady Wang's courtyard, so he calmed down and went to visit them.
Everyone in the Jia family was waiting outside the main house. When Daiyu saw him coming, she seemed to have found a backbone. She hurriedly sat down next to him and whispered to him what had happened today.
Wu Tianyue listened carefully and offered comforting words from time to time.
By the evening, Baoyu and Daiyu gradually woke up and were able to eat. The whole family was relieved, and Daiyu was also relieved.
Wu Tianyue and others went into the house to visit the two of them, and then came out and returned to the Grand View Garden.
The next day, Prince Zhongshun and his wife sent people to the Jia family to inquire about the monk and the Taoist priest, but the two men came on their own and left inexplicably. The Jia family did not catch up with them. The couple sent people to look for them, but unfortunately they could not find them after searching the entire capital.
After the system learned about this, it felt that it had given its love to Wu Tianyue in vain and cried for a whole day.
Wu Tianyue tried to comfort it at first, but when he saw that it couldn't stop, he cruelly blocked it and got up to look for Daiyu.
These days, Daiyu was depressed about what Zijuan said, and also felt guilty about Baoyu's illness.
Now that Baoyu is fine, the strange atmosphere between him and Wu Tianyue seems to have been resolved because of Baoyu's incident. He feels relieved and a little disappointed.
When she got up that day, she suddenly felt unwell. However, the mansion had just calmed down, and Daiyu didn't want to disturb everyone at this time, so she asked Zijuan to make some medicine for her.
Seeing that Zijuan actually agreed to this, Lu Chen hurriedly stopped her and said, "Can the medicine be mixed? Miss, wait a moment, I will go and call the imperial physician."
As he said that, he put down the things in his hands and went out. Before he left the house, he saw Wu Tianyue strolling in: "Where are you going?"
"The young lady is not feeling well. I will go and fetch the imperial physician."
Wu Tianyue heard this and hurriedly urged her: "Go quickly."
After saying that, he lifted the curtain and entered the room: "Why did you suddenly get sick? Could it be that you have been holding it in before, but now you can't bear it anymore?"
"Is the illness still bearable?" Daiyu was amused. "It's just that I'm a little tired and coughing. It's an old ailment. It happened before. I'll just take some medicine and it will be fine. It's not a big deal if it's a little green."
"It's because you didn't take it seriously that it became a chronic problem." Wu Tianyue frowned and retorted, then said to Zijuan, "If your girl feels uncomfortable or lacks anything in the future, go directly to Lan Ye and don't make her feel wronged."
Zijuan was feeling a little guilty about what she had said a few days ago. When she heard him talking as usual and not blaming her, she breathed a sigh of relief and agreed with a smile.
As they were talking, the imperial physician came, took Daiyu's pulse, prescribed some medicine, and reminded her of some details of daily care.
Wu Tianyue thanked the imperial physician and told Lu Chen to send the imperial physician out. Zijuan also took the prescription and went downstairs to get the medicine and boil it.
There were only a few maids standing in the room, and it was quiet for a while. Wu Tianyue wanted to say something, but was afraid that it would be too inappropriate and make Daiyu embarrassed.
Daiyu was also a little uncomfortable, so she started a conversation: "Did you go to Baoyu's place today? Is he feeling better?"
"You only think about him all day long. Even when you're sick, you still want to know about him." Wu Tianyue heard her asking Baoyu again and muttered, "You don't even ask me."
"When have I ever thought only of him?" Daiyu said angrily, "I'm living with my uncle now. He was with me before the accident. Even if it wasn't my fault, others wouldn't necessarily think so..."
As he spoke, he started coughing.
"Don't worry, it's my fault." Wu Tianyue quickly calmed her down. "I haven't visited him today, but I heard from Lan Ye that they are both much better. I'll go and see them myself later."
Daiyu coughed for a long time before she stopped. Then she said, "Come back and tell me after you've gone."
Wu Tianyue nodded in agreement, and the two sat down and chatted for a while.
However, Daiyu had not yet figured out how to deal with their future relationship, so she was not as calm and at ease as before when getting along with him.
Although Wu Tianyue wanted to ask clearly, Daiyu was still ill, and some words could not be turned back once they were said, so until Daiyu spoke or gave any hints, he could only pretend that the excitement and ambiguity of the past few days had never happened.
The two chatted for a while, and Zijuan brought the medicine. Wu Tianyue watched Daiyu drink the medicine and rest, and then went to the main house of the Jia Mansion to visit Baoyu and Fengjie.
