After hearing this reply, Wen Zhu's original expectation was instantly replaced by heaviness. He thought to himself: Do I have to wait so long?
If you haven't been able to conceive for a long time...
Could it be that the Duke's wife would find a new wife for Huai Jin?
Continuing the family line is a major family affair. Perhaps in order to better continue the bloodline, the other party is very likely to accept someone else as the successor.
In this case, he would obviously be at a disadvantage in this battle without gunpowder.
Noticing the anxiety and worry in the woman's eyes, the kind doctor nearby decided to offer a possible solution: "I know a doctor named Qin who's particularly skilled in treating women's health issues. If you want to recover quickly and achieve your wish, you could contact her and ask her to come take a look."
Doctor Qin?
Wen Zhu turned and looked at Fu Yu, a hint of confusion and puzzlement in his eyes: "My Lord, when we were seeing Juhua yesterday, the Princess mentioned this person. She said that Doctor Qin had gone home to visit his family, and when he comes back, she will invite him to our house to treat me."
When Fu Yu heard this, his face changed slightly, a hint of surprise flashed across his face, and his expression looked very complicated.
He was silent for a moment, as if thinking about something, and finally replied in a slightly tired but caring tone: "In that case, let's do it according to this arrangement."
After saying that, he turned around and faced the doctor beside him, asking the latter to prescribe a nutritional prescription that could help restore his strength and enhance his physical fitness.
The doctor hesitated for a moment, clearly undecided about the choice of medicine. Finally, he slowly spoke, "However, this formula will cost approximately three taels of silver per preparation. I hope this won't be too much of a burden for you."
"You don't have to worry too much about money."
Fu Yu immediately and decisively interrupted the other party, his voice firm but gentle.
After the doctor left the room, Wen Zhu picked up the medicine prepared on the table and drank it without hesitation.
Then she quickly returned to bed, wrapped herself tightly and got under the quilt.
Before long, her body began to sweat slightly. Although this made her feel much warmer and more comfortable, her throat became increasingly dry and uncomfortable.
Throughout the long night, Fu Yu stayed by her side without closing his eyes, and never left her side even when he was tired.
And when the first ray of sunlight penetrated the gap in the curtains and shone into the house the next morning, it was his day off.
Normally he would get up early in the morning to handle government affairs or other activities, but today he made an exception and did not get up early to get busy. Instead, he chose to continue lying in bed with his arms around Wen Zhu who was still sleeping, enjoying this short and peaceful time.
At this moment, Jian Ji knocked softly and cautiously at the door. "Master, the young lady came to visit specially to see how Miss Wen Zhu is doing."
Hearing the noise outside, Fu Yu gently opened his eyes and quickly responded: "Please ask her to be patient and wait in the living room for a while. I will go over to receive her right away."
As a simple "I understand" came as an echo, Wen Zhu next to him was also awakened by this conversation.
She opened her eyes hazily, slowly raised her head and looked at her dearest one with weak eyes.
Seeing that his beloved had woken up, although her mental state was still not very good, in order to let her rest more, Fu Yu still gently comforted her and said, "You still need to take good care of your body. Close your eyes and rest for a while."
Feeling the other party's caring words and eyes, Wen Zhu nodded gently to show his understanding, and indicated that he still felt a little heavy and dizzy in his head.
After everything was arranged, Fu Yu put on his clothes and walked out of the bedroom to greet the guests. At the same time, Qingti's voice rang out again: "Sister Wenzhu, how are you feeling now?"
Although still in the recovery period, Wen Zhu still tried to make himself look more energetic after learning that a friend had come to visit him.
She supported her back with her hands and slowly sat up, and asked the maid to put a soft pillow behind her for support.
"I'm much better now. Thank you for coming to see me so soon. Come in and talk."
Soon after, with the sound of the curtain being gently pulled open, Qingti's figure appeared in front of them. At this time, there was no one else in the room except the two of them.
"Is everything alright out there?"
Wen Zhu asked anxiously, with obvious anxiety in his eyes.
"It should be normal. Last night it was my turn to keep watch, and I took the opportunity to say I wanted to drive away the kittens that were attracting attention in the yard, so I slipped out and told the steward about it."
Qingti responded in a voice that was barely audible, as if he was afraid of being heard by others.
After hearing this, Wen Zhu held her hand tightly, tears began to well up in his eyes, and he was filled with gratitude. "Thank you so much."
She deeply felt the power of this friendship.
Although Qingti understood that such behavior posed great risks, he still made this decision based on his understanding and pursuit of justice.
"If I knew about this but didn't tell the prince to help me deal with it, I wouldn't feel at ease."
When she said this, even her eyes became slightly moist, and she was obviously touched by her inner courage.
"So what exactly happened yesterday?"
Wen Zhu gently wiped the tears from her cheeks and asked in a gentle voice with a hint of eagerness to know what had happened.
"Just yesterday evening, Dujuan came to our house to meet the young lady, and the two talked for a long time in the room. Dujuan looked much more relaxed when she left, but I didn't think much of it at the time."
Recalling the scene at that time, Qingti narrated slowly.
She continued, "After nightfall, the young lady seemed so upset that she had trouble sleeping. She told me to find Miss Yu Ning to chat and cheer her up. She then asked me to prepare some snacks. I felt something was amiss, so I decided to quietly go back to the room and eavesdrop on their conversation. I only heard them praying for Dujuan's mission to be successfully completed, and one person mentioned that the weather tonight was perfect for setting a fire somewhere."
As she finished speaking, Qingti's hands could be seen trembling slightly unconsciously. It was obvious that the memory of that night still made her feel scared.
"Luckily, I ran into Manager Jian on the way back home, and I immediately explained everything to him."
After saying all this, there was finally some relief on her face.
Feeling that the help and care given by his friends were so precious, Wen Zhu held Qingti's hand tightly and said firmly.
