Fu Tong'er lay in bed for half a month, during which time Prince Hui visited her frequently. General Yi, the Great Cavalry General, also frequently visited Prince Chun's residence under the pretext of military matters, often discussing matters with the Ninth Master in the study.
Fu Tong'er was either unconscious or waking up for a moment, and her nightmares had decreased significantly. Sometimes she would wake up in the middle of the night, calling out to Jiu Ye in a daze.
It was early February. The wind and snow were fierce and fierce. It had already fallen dark.
That evening, Fu Tong'er suddenly woke up in bed. She opened her eyes and felt a little more alert. She called out, "Qiao'er..." But her voice still sounded very weak.
But she couldn't care less. She, couldn't care less.
Qiao'er pushed the door open and walked quickly into the inner bedroom. She saw Fu Tong'er sitting on a chair by the window. Startled, she hurried over and said, "Miss, you're awake! Miss, you're awake!"
Fu Tong'er leaned on Qiao'er's arm, her eyes half open and half closed, her face pale.
"Miss, please have dinner."
"No hurry," Fu Tong'er said weakly, raising her hand to show her refusal. "Is Master Jiu in the mansion?"
She had been unconscious these past few days, occasionally waking up, but she could only see the blurry figure of Jiu Ye. It was surprisingly similar to the figure who had saved her three years ago. She just thought it was a dream. She had moved on from the murder of the Prince of Qi. Now, with the ring still around her neck, she didn't blame Jiu Ye anymore.
"Yes." Qiao'er choked with sobs, "I'll go call Master Jiu over. He's not busy right now, so please sit down for a while."
"He's busy. He's the Prince Regent. He doesn't want to see me..." Fu Tong'er raised her hand again, "He still doesn't want to see me, right?"
Qiao'er sobbed, "Miss, Miss, Jiu Ye is practicing swordplay in his bedroom. Qiao'er will go and invite Jiu Ye, and he will definitely come."
"Here~" Fu Tong'er raised her hand and pointed at the fox fur cloak that Jiu Ye had given her. "Accompany me, go see him, just take a look. Just a sneak peek..."
"Miss, it's windy and snowy outside. You've just recovered from your illness."
"Qiao'er, you are being presumptuous." Fu Tong'er raised her hand. "Help me go. He is finally in the mansion, and I finally woke up and was able to get out of bed. Take me to see him—cough, cough."
"Yes." Qiao'er helped Fu Tong'er stand up——
As soon as Fu Tong'er stood up, she felt dizzy. Fortunately, Qiao'er supported her.
"Miss, let me go and ask Master Jiu to come over."
"No! No, he doesn't want to see me. If you go to look for him, he'll be out of the house in a huff and I won't be able to see him again. I don't even know if he'll wake up tomorrow... Help me go, quickly."
As he spoke, he stood up and staggered to the door. Qiao'er took off his cloak and put it on Fu Tong'er. He also took out a snow fox hand warmer and gave it to Fu Tong'er. He opened the door and helped Fu Tong'er out.
Entering the courtyard for the third time, the wind was biting and the snow was falling heavily. The cold weather made Fu Tong'er, who was already suffering from a deficiency of Qi and blood and was stimulated, feel cold from the inside out.
If he hadn't been wrapped in the genuine thousand-year-old red-blood fox fur, he would have been even colder.
"Nineth Master~" Fu Tong'er murmured as she looked at the main hall in the distance. Qiao'er sighed slightly, wondering when her young lady would be able to have a good time with the Ninth Master.
In the inner courtyard of the main house, in the bedroom of the Ninth Master
Lu Zhenzhi had approved some of the memorials sent from the palace and was currently practicing swordplay in the courtyard, his blades flashing and flickering, slicing through the snow and wind. Fu Tong'er, supported by Qiao'er, stood in the long corridor, watching from afar.
Seeing her daughter so infatuated, and yet she refused to let him go, Qiao'er's brows furrowed in anxiety. She thought, "I'm going to scold Xiaopu later." Why didn't she try to persuade Master Jiu? How much hatred and resentment must there be between them, leaving her daughter to stare blankly in such a heavy snowstorm?
"He's very charming, isn't he?" Fu Tong'er said, tears falling. But there was a hint of happiness in her eyes. Looking at the person you like is also a kind of happiness. "He did such an excessive thing, but I still forgave him, haha."
"Miss~ It's all Jiu Ye's fault. He was the one who provoked Miss."
"No, it's my fault. I liked him first and allowed him to provoke me from the beginning."
"Miss~" Qiao'er stared at Fu Tong'er's tears in a daze.
Lu Zhenzhi put away his sword, took off his coat, revealing his bare chest, and walked towards the side hall.
"He must have been sweating from the exercise, it's so hot. He has a really good body, even in such a cold day..." Fu Tong'er smiled slightly, with some shyness on her face.
"Master Jiu must have gone to the hot springs," Qiao'er said. "There's a Yuxiu Terrace behind the side courtyard, and inside it is a Nighting Pool."
Fu Tong'er said, "It must be so cold coming out of the pond. Qiao'er, come with me to get Master Jiu's fox fur."
