Xiao Lingyu heard the steady breathing, took off his veil, and turned his head to look at the man on the couch.
He has lost weight.
The plump cheeks and round jaw in my memory are gone.
However, the sexy thin lips, strong nose bridge and high eyebrows are still the same as I remember.
Moving my eyes to the collar, I could vaguely see a dark red scar.
Xiao Lingyu frowned. If the diagnosis was correct, he must have suffered physical and mental torture in a dark and extremely cold place, which was why he was so thin.
Xiao Lingyu reached out and gently lifted his sleeve.
There were traces of chains on his wrists. When he looked at his arms, his breathing suddenly became tight.
His fair arms were covered with hideous whip marks of varying sizes.
Xiao Lingyu didn't dare to look down, so he quickly withdrew his hand and looked away.
The old emperor was really cruel. He was his eldest son after all. He should have been gentler. It would have been better to kill him quickly.
At this time, Li Yuanliang poked his head in from outside the carriage, "Princess..."
"Call me Madam Su."
Li Yuanliang was speechless for a moment, "Madam Su, the herbs on the prescription are not in our inventory. We need to go to the pharmacy to get some."
"No need to go to the pharmacy, it's right where you stay."
When they arrived at the Qixia cottage, Xiao Lingyu placed Feng Jinyu in the west wing.
Xiao Lingyu turned around and went to the main house and into the bedroom, then took out the herbs on two prescriptions from the space.
In order to make up a reasonable lie, he took out a few more common medicinal herbs for treating headaches and fevers, packed them into two large boxes, and called Li Yuanliang and Xu Mo.
The two looked at the two large boxes full of medicinal herbs and exchanged glances.
Both of them saw doubt in each other's eyes.
All the Xiao family's property was deposited into the emperor's private treasury, and these medicinal herbs would cost a lot of money.
Wasn’t the princess married to a poor and disabled person?
It doesn't look like that. The princess seems to be living a good life.
It was impossible for the Xishui County Magistrate to disobey the imperial edict.
Xiao Lingyu glanced at them and knew what they were thinking.
Telling them will allow Feng Jinyu to rest and recuperate.
"Don't overthink it. I taught myself medicine and know some medicinal herbs. Maybe I was lucky and happened to dig up three hundred-year-old wild ginseng in Wufeng Mountain."
Li Yuanliang's eyes and eyebrows widened instantly. A wild ginseng that was three hundred years old could be exchanged for tens of thousands of taels in the capital, and at least several thousand taels in Huayang County.
"Take the herbs to the west wing and boil the first prescription."
The two of them carried the herbs into the west wing, and Xiao Lingyu hurried to the kitchen.
Fill two large vats with spiritual spring water, and take out seasonal fruits and vegetables from this world from the space and fill the table with them.
After everything was ready, Xiao Lingyu started to prepare medicinal food for Feng Jinyu.
Li Yuanliang carried the medicine stove into the kitchen, "Princess... Madam Su asked me to do it."
Xiao Lingyu said, "You should boil the medicine first and drink half a bowl of it before lunch."
Li Yuanliang did not dare to delay. He picked up the scoop and put two large scoops of spiritual spring water into the ceramic medicine pot.
Xiao Lingyu glanced at the medicine stove, hoping that the medicine boiled with spiritual spring water would help him get better soon.
Xiao Lingyu withdrew his gaze and took a look at the ingredients needed to make medicinal food on the table.
Her mind told her that she didn't need to do it herself, but her body wouldn't listen.
From the moment he picked up the kitchen knife, the scene of the original owner making soup and medicinal food for Feng Jinyu appeared in his mind, and he felt the original owner's joy.
Xiao Lingyu realized a fact, that the original owner liked Feng Jinyu.
Unfortunately, fate plays tricks on us.
Xiao Lingyu was thinking this in her mind, but she didn't realize that she was obviously more careful in handling the ingredients than usual.

"Xingyi, when will Madam Su come back?" Lu Shiyuan saw that it was already noon, and Xiao Lingyu had not returned from his medical consultation.
"Master Lu, that young master is very ill. Xiaoyu won't be able to make it back by noon, so let's have dinner first."
Lu Shiyuan held Su Ningjie's hand and stood up. "In that case, you can take the four children with you back to the Lu Mansion to have lunch together."
The carriages of the Su and Lu families arrived at Luoxia Cottage. Su Xingyi looked at the closed door and felt a little melancholy in his heart.
Now that he can walk freely and her fiancé has come to see her, is she going to divorce him?
Only when they love each other can they become husband and wife.
Maybe she and her fiancé are attracted to each other?
"Dad, next time we come to the county, we father and I will make lunch for Mom at Luoxia Cottage." Su Ning'an patted Su Xingyi's shoulder and said.
Su Xingyi nodded. "The patient your mother is seeing today is your mother's brother. He has come from afar and is very ill. He may need to recuperate at Luoxia Cottage for a month or so."
"Isn't mother's brother my uncle? Let's go see my uncle now." Su Ning'an pulled Su Ningwen and was about to get off the carriage.
Su Xingyi stretched out his long arm and pulled the two back to their seats.
"No, going now will disturb your mother from treating your uncle. If there's any mistake, the treatment might not be successful. Let's go back after we finish our meal at the Lu Mansion."
Su Xingyi wanted to greet the two of them in advance to prevent the two children from offending Xiaoyu's brother.
Xiaoyu is a princess, so her brother's identity must be even more extraordinary.
Xiaoyu is already difficult to deal with, let alone her brother.
"Oh, then we'll go see uncle after lunch."
The brothers Su Ning'an and Su Ningwen developed a strong interest in their uncle.
My mother is so beautiful, my uncle should be handsome too.
"Third brother, do you think uncle will like us as much as mother does?"
Su Ningwen shook his head, "Maybe you don't like it very much?"
"Why?"
