Yu Ning nodded impatiently and replied.
"You must also take your responsibilities seriously and cheer up to take good care of the young mistress."
There was some severity in Wen Zhu's voice, and he emphasized the importance of this point again.
"I've had enough of your nagging!"
Yu Ning complained dissatisfiedly, then stood up and gestured to send people away: "You can leave here now!"
After hearing these words, Wen Zhu turned and walked towards the door, and gave instructions to the servants beside him to close the door of the ancestral hall.
I felt a slight chill in my body, perhaps I was infected and caught a cold.
So after taking some simple medicine, he decided to stay in Qingshan Cottage for a rest.
At night, You Qing took over her job and delivered dinner and necessary medicines to the young lady in the ancestral hall.
The next day, just after dawn, when everyone had finished breakfast, Hongyu whispered to Wenzhu, "I heard that the young mistress's condition seemed to have worsened last night."
"How could this happen? Why did things develop to such a serious level?"
On the surface, Wen Zhu asked in surprise, as if he was hearing the news for the first time.
"It's said that the young mistress suddenly developed a high fever last night that wouldn't go away, but Yu Ning was so absorbed in her own sleep that she didn't even bother to provide any care. It wasn't until this morning, when the Crown Prince personally visited them, that he discovered they were both still deep in sleep, unable to awaken. Their condition has worsened to the point where their fundamental health is at risk."
Hongyu replied while sighing.
In fact, Yu Ning always had a high opinion of herself and was always thinking about how to climb up the social ladder, but she neglected to do her job well and serve the young mistress. As for whether Zhao Manxiang had taken the medicine or eaten food at the prescribed time the day before, it was still unknown.
Wen Zhu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he shook his head slightly: "Yu Ning is not careful enough at work. I specifically reminded her yesterday at noon to take good care of the young mistress, but I didn't expect her to take it to heart. Forget it, I'll handle this matter myself."
After saying that, Wen Zhu slowly stood up from his chair and prepared to leave, but suddenly remembered another thing.
"Why does the prince suddenly want to visit the young mistress?"
Wen Zhu asked with a little confusion.
"I'm not particularly sure about this. Perhaps the prince heard that the young mistress was about to leave her confinement and wanted to go and see how she was doing."
Hongyu frowned and made a slight guess.
After thinking about this, Wen Zhu decided to go to Qifangyuan first.
It's already a busy scene there.
As soon as Wen Zhu stepped into Zhao Manxiang's room, he saw the court physician patiently and carefully explaining precautions to Qingti: "Remember to give the young mistress her medicine on time. Even if you need to use force, you must ensure that she takes it. She was seriously injured this time, so she must not overwork herself in the future."
"I understand. I will remember your words."
Qingti frowned and agreed seriously.
Seeing Wen Zhu coming, everyone in the room seemed to have found their backbone and immediately turned their eyes to her.
"Young Madam always says things that are confusing. What should we do in this situation?"
A maid anxiously expressed her confusion.
"Should we help Young Madam clean her body first to make her more comfortable?"
Another maid suggested immediately.
"Should this matter be reported to Madam immediately for her decision?"
Another girl asked.
Almost at the same time, several questions were raised like a machine gun.
Faced with so many concerns and doubts, Wen Zhu tried to keep his tone calm and gentle and said, "Don't panic, let me understand the specific situation first."
After saying this, he slowly approached the bedside and examined it carefully.
At this moment, Zhao Manxiang was half lying on the bed, her hair scattered in a mess, and she looked extremely exhausted; her eyes were closed, as if she was immersed in a very bad dream, and she was still mumbling something that was difficult to understand.
Listening closer, Wen Zhu could vaguely hear her repeating the words: "When alive, I am a member of the Sheng family. When dead, I am also a ghost of the Sheng family."
These words, full of determination and sadness, made her stunned, as if the weight contained in these words far exceeded her understanding.
These words left Wen Zhu stunned for a while, and the uneasiness in his heart gradually grew.
Then he turned around and asked, "Where's Yu Ning?"
There was a hint of anxiety in her voice, and it was obvious that the importance of this matter had attracted her great attention.
Qingti quickly called Yu Ning over.
I saw Yu Ning standing at the door, as nervous as a small animal ready to run away at any time, her body trembling slightly, obviously scared because she didn't know what was going on.
"What exactly does this mean, Madam?"
Wen Zhu asked sternly, frowning and looking straight at Yu Ning, not giving her any chance to escape.
Wen Zhu seemed particularly stern at this moment, as if he was facing a difficult puzzle.
Yu Ning lowered her head to avoid his gaze, her tone clearly filled with uneasiness. "I...I don't quite understand. A few days ago, the prince asked about the young mistress's condition, and she said these words right after she woke up."
Her voice was a little intermittent, as if she was recalling the scene of that day.
After listening, Wen Zhu fell into silence for a moment, and kept thinking about what he had just heard in his mind.
What is going on?
Why did Zhao Manxiang say such decisive words?
Could it be that she had overlooked something important?
"I won't leave!"
Suddenly, Zhao Manxiang on the bed screamed and waved her arms wildly.
This sudden change interrupted Wen Zhu's thoughts and made the atmosphere in the room even more tense.
Wen Zhu woke up from his thoughts and immediately ordered: "Is the medicine ready? Give it to her quickly!"
Her words were firm and decisive, leaving no room for hesitation. She was obviously worried that delaying it any further might lead to more unexpected events.
Qingti and Jinrui worked together tacitly to take the bowl of medicine handed to them at the door and carefully fed it to Zhao Manxiang.
The whole process was carried out very carefully, for fear of touching something that should not be touched and causing a bigger commotion.
At the same time, Wen Zhu stared at Yu Ning and continued to ask harshly, "Have you forgotten what I arranged for you to do yesterday afternoon?"
Her eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, closely watching every subtle reaction of the other person.
Faced with the questioning, Yu Ning's eyes dodged, "I felt very tired at that time..." Her voice was weak and mosquito-like, and she was obviously trying to defend herself, but this excuse sounded so weak in this situation.
"Nonsense! The problem is that you don't care about your master's affairs at all. A truly responsible person would not delay his mission even if he was extremely tired!
