"Miss—you're too proactive," Qiao'er said. "Men won't remember your kindness this way. If Master Jiu truly loved you, how could he bear to see you go through such bloody and cruel things! Miss was already suffering from a lack of energy and blood in Prince Hui's mansion, and now because of that incident, you've ended up in this state."
"You're too talkative." Fu Tong'er said with her eyes closed, "Just accompany me to get it."
Fu Tong'er took Jiu Ye's fox fur and hung it on her arm.
"Miss, Qiao'er, come and get it."
Fu Tong'er raised her hand and said weakly, "Just hold on to me." As they walked, she said, "Back then, Master Jiu used this fox fur to save me. He gave me all his warmth in that carriage. Thinking about it now, that night is so nostalgic."
"Miss~" Qiao'er felt distressed when she heard this. "Why don't you and Master Jiu sit down and have a chat? Why did the two of you have to end up like this?"
Fu Tong'er smiled weakly: "I have forgiven him. But that doesn't mean I have to listen to his 'I'm young, wait until I grow up' remarks. He thinks that because he is a dozen years older than me, he thinks I am childish. If he doesn't think he is wrong and always thinks he is right, who can stand such male chauvinism... But I miss him today..."
As he spoke, he was already outside the archway of Yuxiu Terrace. Just as he was about to go in, he saw You Yi, the twin brother of You Li, the General of the Cavalry.
He stood at the door and saw Fu Tong'er. He looked her up and down and bowed, saying, "The young lady is finally awake."
"The general is--?" Fu Tong'er stopped.
"My name is You Yi. I serve as the vanguard for Master Jiu and am a General of the Cavalry. That day, I sat next to the young lady. She looked very unwell."
"So it's General Yi. Are you here to see Master Jiu?"
You Yi didn't respond, and only said, "The girl has just recovered, so it's better not to go in."
"Why? I finally woke up and wanted to see him."
"Perhaps Master Jiu doesn't want to see you," You Yi said. "If you recover, it's fine for you to go in and see me. I think there are some things you'd better not see right now."
"What's inside?" Fu Tong'er asked, "Are there other women?"
You Yi bowed and clasped his hands together: "Girl, please take care of yourself. It's better not to go."
"He asked you to stay here, didn't he?"
"That's not the case," General You Yi said. "After Master Jiu went in, a little girl followed him in with a pile of clothes. I happened to see her. Miss Fu happened to come over at that moment. Take my advice and don't go in. People who have just recovered cannot stand the shock."
Qiao Er frowned slightly after hearing this. General Yi was talking to Miss...
The Yuxiu Terrace was filled with mist.
"Qiao'er, help me in..."
General You Yi held out his hand to stop her. "Imperial Physician Jiang said that if the young lady is further stimulated, her qi and blood will be depleted, and she will not live more than ten years."
Qiao'er said, "How could the general know the results of that day's consultation? Only the Ninth Master, this servant, and Doctor Zhao were present that day."
Fu Tong'er said: "Don't worry, General. Qiao'er!"
Qiao'er helped Fu Tong'er around General You Yi and walked into the pavilion. The melted snow revealed a cobblestone path. This was truly a beautiful place.
When they reached the pavilion, Qiao'er said, "Slow down, Miss, and watch your steps."
Fu Tong'er sighed and said, "You stay here, I'll go there by myself." As she spoke, she climbed up with the help of the pillar. After stepping onto the pavilion, she could see Jiu Ye standing in the Yeting Pond with his upper body naked and his back leaning against the edge of the pool.
The scars on his back are particularly eye-catching.
She slowly descended the stairs. Qiao'er, worried, followed her up quietly. From a distance, she could see Lan'er, a maid in the backyard, sorting out Master Jiu's clothes in a corner by the Night Courtyard pool.
What General Yi said is true!
Qiao'er secretly thought that this was not good!
Sure enough, just when Fu Tong'er was about to muster up the courage to call Jiu Ye, she saw a maid coming over in the mist with Jiu Ye's clothes.
The maid looked up and saw the frail Fu Tong'er. She gave a sarcastic smile and deliberately called out, "Why is Miss Fu here?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Zhenzhi turned around and saw that the girl was awake! He saw his fox fur cloak hanging on her arm. He knew at a glance that his little girl missed him and came to find him after waking up. He was right. She had silently forgiven him everything.
When Qiao'er heard Lan'er's voice, she quickly ran down and supported Fu Tong'er. She saw that her face was frighteningly pale - her eyes seemed to be half open again, as if she was about to faint, and a bitter smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
"Miss, are you okay?"
Fu Tong'er looked weakly at the shirtless Ninth Master in front of her, then glanced at Lan'er, the maid holding Ninth Master's clothes, and said with a smile: "Sorry to disturb Ninth Master..." After that, a fishy-sweet taste came between her lips and teeth, and she spat out a mouthful of blood, which soaked her plain white jacket with a hint of light yellow plum blossoms.
Lu Zhenzhi was sitting in the hot spring pool, frowning slightly when he heard this. He was just busy with court affairs these days, so he came to take a bath in the hot spring. He didn't even know when Lan'er came in.
