Chapter 36: Beaten by the Young Master?
"No, I didn't! Jingyu, mother never thought of it that way, I didn't!"
Feng suddenly screamed and fell off the bed.
Duke Qin, who was standing next to him, was awakened. He rubbed his eyes and lit a candle. "Why are you yelling? Are you having a nightmare?"
Feng's face was covered in cold sweat. She looked towards the window with lingering fear, but there was nothing there.
Faced with Duke Qin's questioning, Feng had no choice but to admit, "I, I just had a nightmare."
Duke Qin was woken up and said impatiently, "I told you before that I would rest in the front yard, but you insisted on asking me to come here. It seems that we don't have to rest together except on the first and fifteenth days of the lunar month!"
Mrs. Feng felt very aggrieved.
Although she knew that she could no longer have children, she also wanted to be closer to Duke Qin. In addition to her as his second wife, Duke Qin also had two concubines.
Although those concubines had no children and were not young anymore, they still had a close relationship with the Duke of Qin.
But it was her nightmare that woke up Duke Qin. Feng was embarrassed and was about to explain when she heard the voice of a maid outside the door.
"Madam, the Duke, Steward Lu came to say that Master Huishan is leaving. Please make the decision."
Feng's heart skipped a beat.
Duke Qin frowned and said, "Now that we have finished praying, it won't be too late to leave tomorrow. Why do you want to leave in the middle of the night?"
Feng had already guessed that something had happened, but she didn't want Duke Qin to know, so she said, "Maybe Master Huishan suddenly had something urgent to do. Duke, please continue to rest. I'll go and take care of it. When I'm done, I'll rest in the outer room so I won't wake you up."
"Yeah." There is an early court session tomorrow, so Duke Qin naturally doesn't want to stay up late and wants to rest early.
Feng put on her clothes and went to the main hall to meet Lu Yun.
She asked nervously, "What happened? Why did Master Huishan leave at night?"
Lu Yun had a complicated expression, "Madam, Master Huishan said that the young master had appeared in spirit and he couldn't save him. He also said that he had apologized to the young master and wanted us to apologize to him as well."
When Feng remembered what she had just dreamed, her legs suddenly went limp and she fell down on the armchair.
She murmured, "Why is this happening? Didn't Jing Yu die in the war? Why would he come back to cause trouble for us?"
Lu Yun tightened his hands in his sleeves and said calmly, "Maybe Master Huishan is too old and made a mistake. Madam, why don't you send him back first?"
Feng nodded dejectedly.
She was afraid she wouldn't be able to sleep tonight.
As a result, just as Lu Yun turned around to leave, a maid ran in hurriedly. She said in panic:
"Madam, something bad has happened. The second young master just came back drunk and got beaten up!"
Feng's eyes widened immediately after hearing this, "What?"
She immediately hurried to the front yard of Songtao Pavilion and called the court doctor over. Shen Ruoying, who had already rested, was also called over.
Shen Ruoying looked at the pale-faced Feng with a bewildered expression.
Feng's sharp eyes swept over the servant who followed Lu Hangzhi, "Who beat Hangzhi like this?"
The servant also had a bruised face and nose, not much better than Lu Hangzhi.
The difference is that he didn't drink and was sober.
The servant said, "I dare not say."
Feng was so angry that she slapped him. "Why are you hesitating? Did you hit Hangzhi?"
The servant immediately knelt down and said, "No, it wasn't me, it was the young master who beat him!"
"The second young master got drunk and came to the door of Songtao Pavilion after returning home. However, the door of Songtao Pavilion was closed. The second young master recited a poem there, a love poem he wrote to the eldest young master's wife."
"Then the young master suddenly appeared in a suit of armor, beat up the second young master without giving any explanation, and even kicked me several times!"
"I was knocked unconscious. When I woke up, I didn't see anyone else. I immediately called for someone to help the Second Young Master back."
"What I said is all true. If you don't believe me, wait until the Second Young Master wakes up and ask him!"
After hearing this, Shen Ruoying swayed a bit, but fortunately Aunt Li next to her supported her in time.
Feng's eyes went dark and she passed out.
Cuiwei Pavilion was in chaos.
There is peace and tranquility in Songtao Pavilion.
The candle on the table emitted a gentle orange light, and crackled twice, bursting into sparks.
Gu Qingning looked at Lu Jingyu, who was wearing armor, and suddenly remembered how he looked when she first met him.
The young general, dressed in fine clothes and riding a fast horse, was very dazzling.
Lu Jingyu: "Isn't that scary to you?"
Just now, Lu Hangzhi was drunk and came to the door of Songtao Pavilion to act crazy, and even recited the love poem he gave to Gu Qingning.
Lu Jingyu simply beat him up.
Only half a year after the news of his death came back, his younger brother couldn't wait to marry his wife.
After the wife swap, this younger brother still covets his current wife?
It is reasonable for him to beat up his own brother.
But at that time, the screams and howls of Lu Hangzhi and the servant were so loud that they alarmed the people in Songtao Pavilion.
Lu Jingyu was worried about scaring Gu Qingning.
"I'm not afraid." Gu Qingning shook her head and suddenly reached out to grab Lu Jingyu's hand. Lu Jingyu was so shocked by her action that his whole body stiffened and he even wanted to take his hand back.
"What's wrong?"
"Your hand is injured."
Gu Qingning didn't care about Lu Hangzhi's life or death. Her eyes fell on the back of Lu Jingyu's hand. It seemed that there was a shallow bloody mark on it when he beat Lu Hangzhi.
Lu Jingyu looked down and thought that this minor injury would probably heal tomorrow.
"This minor injury is not a problem..."
Before he could finish his words, Gu Qingning let go of his hand, and Lu Jingyu suddenly felt a little lost.
However, Gu Qingning did not leave. She turned around and took back the medicine box, took out the medicine for bruises and injuries, and carefully took Lu Jingyu's hand again.
"I don't know what cut it, so I'd better apply some medicine to prevent pus from forming, which would be bad."
She spoke seriously and her actions were focused.
Lu Jingyu felt his big hand being held by her small hand. His heart beat faster and faster and his body became stiff. He didn't know whether he should withdraw his hand or not.
My mind wanted to take it back, but my body seemed to have a mind of its own.
Gu Qingning could sense Lu Jingyu's tension, and she spoke gently, "Oh, young master, what you said last time about using internal energy to force out the poison, how do we do it? Please forgive me, I usually like to read medical books, and I'm very interested in these."
Lu Jingyu knew that she knew a little about medical books and had even opened a clinic.
He asked back, "Do you know Divine Doctor Bai from Medicine Valley?"
Gu Qingning: "I know. It is said that he can turn bones into flesh and revive the dead. He is very powerful."
Lu Jingyu: "He taught me that method. Although I survived this time, I was also seriously injured and poisoned. Fortunately, he saved me."
Gu Qingning suddenly raised her head, "Are you poisoned?"
She immediately flipped her hand over and clasped it on Lu Jingyu's wrist, then her brows relaxed, "The toxins should have been cleared up, but you're right, with Divine Doctor Bai here, I was a little too nervous."
After Gu Qingning finished speaking, she found that the other party had not spoken for a long time. She raised her head and found that Lu Jingyu was staring at her intently.
"Young Master, what's wrong?"
