Chapter 10 King Chen



She nearly screamed.

Lianhua's face turned pale instantly, and beads of sweat the size of beans dripped from her forehead. She was still in a state of shock for a long time.

Hearing the noise outside the door, Fan Meiniang quickly put on her clothes, tidied her hair, and got up to open the door.

She took the medicine from Lianhua, bowed, and thanked her: "Thank you, Miss Lianhua."

Lianhua nodded woodenly, turned around and hurried out.

Seeing that Lianhua looked a little absent-minded, Fan Meiniang frowned, a little confused.

"That's strange."

Nanny Zhao was taking care of the child in another room. When she heard the noise outside, she came out holding the child in her arms, "Miss Mei, did you get the medicine for Master Chang Zhi?"

Fan Meiniang nodded: "Yes, Aunt Zhao."

As she spoke, she walked forward, reached out to lift the child's blanket, and saw the child's face covered with pus-filled sores. Her eyes reddened and she burst into tears with heartache.

"Zhi'er has suffered these days."

Fan Meiniang's tears fell down, and Zhao Ma rolled her eyes. She loved the child so much, but didn't seem to want to take care of him.

"Miss Mei, please don't be sad. It's important to boil medicine for the child as soon as possible." Madam Zhao urged.

She has been taking care of the child for the past two days and is almost exhausted. She has no rest during the day and can't sleep well at night. Just when she coaxes the child, he starts making trouble again.

If she endures any longer, she might lose her life.

She just hopes the child gets better soon.

Fan Meiniang took the medicine bag to the kitchen to boil it. As soon as she opened it, a strong bitter smell swept over her and she almost vomited.

"How can Zhier, who is so young, drink all these herbs mixed together?"

Fan Meiniang sighed and began to decoct the medicine.

An hour later, the medicine was finally ready, and Fan Meiniang and Zhao Ma Ma reluctantly fed the child some of it and let him swallow it.

However, he vomited it out not long after.

Fan Meiniang looked distressed.

"Will such a young child be tortured to death by this?" Her eyes were red and she wished she was the one who suffered.

"Good medicine tastes bitter," Madam Zhao advised. "Imperial Physician Mu is highly skilled. The medicine he prescribed will surely be effective. Master Chang Zhi vomited what he drank just now. Let's feed him some more later."

Although Fan Meiniang felt very distressed, she still endured and fed the child some more.

Baomo Hall.

As soon as Lianhua returned, she quickly poured herself a glass of water and drank it in big gulps. She even patted her chest in fear.

She felt a pang of fear when she thought of the terrifying pattern that was faintly visible on Miss Mei's back just now.

What is the origin of this Miss Mei? Why does she have such a scary pattern tattooed on her back, like a ferocious beast?

Lotus remembered where she had seen it, but couldn't remember where it was.

"Lotus, what's wrong with you?" Mrs. Lu had just woken up from her nap. When she opened her eyes, she saw Lotus looking terrified, and couldn't help asking.

Lianhua thought for a moment, pursed her lips and said, "Madam, I saw something I shouldn't have seen."

Madam Lu frowned: "What is it?"

She had a bad feeling.

Lotus swallowed her saliva and said, "When I went there, I saw the Fourth Master just coming out of Miss Mei's room, and Miss Mei was naked..."

Before Lianhua could finish her words, Madam Lu slammed the table hard.

"It's outrageous that they would do such a vile thing in broad daylight!"

Lianhua was startled. She opened her mouth but didn't tell anyone about the horrific pattern tattooed on Fan Meiniang's back.

"Go and call Qingzhou over quickly."

"yes."

Lianhua hurried over to call Lu Qingzhou over and gave him a scolding. Lu Qingzhou was very unhappy.

"Mother, you also know that I only have Mei Niang in my heart. You forced me to marry Gu Yunran, it was not my own will. Now I have married her and given her the position of wife. What else do you want?"

"It's absolutely impossible for me to have any feelings for her. Please don't force me anymore, mother!"

Madam Lu sighed, "Yun Ran has a hot temper, you know that, I told you to wait, but you're so anxious that you wait for a day or two?"

"Our Lu family is counting on the influence of Yun Ran's maternal family and maternal grandfather's family to help you ascend to the throne. Don't ruin your future for a country girl, kid."

"This again!" Lu Qingzhou was already getting impatient. He said firmly, "I can still thrive even without relying on Gu Yunran."

Madam Lu was so angry she nearly fainted, but she patiently explained, "It's been three years since you passed the imperial examination, and you haven't even secured a position in the court. It was only a few days ago when you returned home that Prime Minister Gu interceded for you and got you a small, sixth-rank official position. It's a title, but no real power."

"Qingzhou, your strength is clear to me, but if you want to leave quickly, I still need Yunran to go back and speak well of you."

Lu Qingzhou gritted his teeth, he couldn't refute.

Seeing that Lu Qingzhou had listened, Mrs. Lu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Qingzhou, you are a smart person, I won't say much about the rest."

"Don't go to the west wing these days. It will be a disaster if Yun Ran finds out. You'd better be patient."

At this point, Madam Lu's eyes lit up, "Yun Ran's illness has just improved a little recently. You should go spend more time with her. It would be best if you could give birth to a big fat grandson."

Now that they have a child, even if Prime Minister Gu cares about his daughter, he will also care about his grandson's future and will definitely help Qingzhou more.

"good."

Unexpectedly, Lu Qingzhou agreed immediately, even he himself was a little surprised.

But then I regretted it.
