Chapter 254: Undercurrent



Only Fang Qingyue, Fang Chiyue and Shen Yuhan were left in the room.

Fang Chiyue sat down beside the bed, gently stroking her sister's abdomen, feeling the warmth of the wound.

She unwound the gauze expertly, her fingers gentle.

Wipe off the old ointment from the wound and apply new ointment.

Fang Qingyue felt her sister's careful care. Although her wound was still painful, she felt a little more at ease.

She tilted her head slightly, her voice filled with gratitude: "Chi Yue, your technique is really good. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid..."

Fang Chiyue's hand paused slightly, her eyes were a little moist, and her lips were tightly pursed.

She held back her tears and whispered, "Sister, don't say that, I'm just doing my best."

Fang Qingyue heard her sister's emotions, sighed softly, and comforted her: "Chiyue, don't worry, the wound is healing well. As long as we are all safe, it is the best outcome."

Fang Chiyue couldn't hold back her tears. She wiped her eyes gently and whispered, "I'm just afraid... I'm afraid that my sister will have regrets because of this wound."

Fang Qingyue shook her head, her eyes softening: "Chi Yue, life is more important than anything else."

"You saved me and two children."

"What's this little wound worth?"

Fang Chiyue's tears were no longer suppressed and flowed down gently. She lowered her head and continued to bandage Fang Qingyue, her hands still steady.

After the wound was bandaged, the room gradually returned to silence.

Fang Qingyue was so weak that she barely managed to see the child.

After talking to Shen Yuhan for a while, he felt exhausted.

She tilted her head slightly, closed her eyes, her breathing gradually became steady, and she fell into a deep sleep again.

Shen Yuhan sat beside the bed, quietly looking at her sleeping face, with mixed feelings in his heart.

He gently pulled the quilt for her, his eyes gentle but thoughtful.

Fang Qingyue had a close call with life and death, and now needs a long period of recuperation to fully recover.

Although the wound was sutured properly, the body's vitality was severely damaged and it would take some time to recover.

He must provide her with the best care possible and ensure her speedy recovery.

Just then, hurried footsteps were heard outside the door.

Shen Yuhan frowned and looked up.

Seeing He Xiao walk into the room quickly, he looked serious and frowned.

After he stood still, he bowed slightly and then reported in a low voice: "My Lord, I have an urgent matter to report."

Seeing his serious expression, Shen Yuhan immediately stood up and whispered, "Go out and talk, don't wake Qingyue."

He looked back at the sleeping Fang Qingyue, making sure she was sleeping soundly, and then followed He Xiao out of the room.

As soon as he walked out of the room, Shen Yuhan's eyes immediately became cold and his tone became serious: "What's so urgent?"

He Xiao pursed his lips tightly and whispered, "My Lord, the news that Madam gave birth to twins has set off a wave of heated discussion inside and outside the capital."

"Now, people in teahouses, restaurants, and even on the streets are talking about this."

"Some people even exaggeratedly fabricated many false statements, saying things like 'auspicious signs from heaven, dragons and phoenixes appearing,' and some even spread the rumors."

"It is said that the children of the Shen family are destined to be extraordinary in the future. Perhaps they will become the pillars of the country and save the Great Zhou."

When Shen Yuhan heard this, his brows instantly furrowed.

There was a sharp cold light in his eyes.

The sudden intensity of public opinion inside and outside the capital was obviously no accident.

He had been in the court for many years and knew very well that if there were no people fanning the flames, the situation would never have spread so quickly.

"Who spread this news?" Shen Yuhan's voice was low and carried a hint of danger.

He Xiao shook his head, a look of slight guilt on his face. "I haven't yet found out the source of the news, but one thing is certain, these remarks are by no means accidental."

"Someone is deliberately pushing this matter behind the scenes, obviously hoping to use it to spark a bigger wave of public opinion."

"If this rumor is not suppressed quickly, it will put my wife and two children in the spotlight."

Shen Yuhan's eyes became increasingly gloomy. He pondered for a moment and had some guesses in his mind.

There were undercurrents in the court, and many people were wary of this young marquis.

If his child was pushed to the center of attention from birth, he would inevitably attract more attention and even hostility.

Some people want to use public opinion to elevate his children and make their identities the target of public criticism.

Shen Yuhan was secretly alert in his heart. He would never allow his child to be involved in the disputes in the court, especially when Fang Qingyue had just survived a disaster.

His eyes were as cold as ice, and he ordered in a deep voice, "Immediately send people to all parts of the capital to suppress all rumors. Anyone who dares to spread false information will be arrested and punished immediately."

He Xiao accepted the order and said, "I understand. I will do it immediately."

Shen Yuhan's eyes narrowed as he continued, "This incident is by no means accidental. Send someone to investigate secretly immediately to find out who is behind this wave of public opinion."

"Make sure to find out who is behind this and report it immediately."

He Xiao's expression became even more solemn when he heard this. He quickly nodded and said, "I understand. I will definitely find out who is behind this."

After he quickly retreated, Shen Yuhan still stood in the yard, but his heart was not completely calm.

The next morning, Fang Qingyue slowly opened her eyes in the hazy morning light.

Her body still felt weak, but after a night's sleep, she seemed to have regained some strength.

She stirred slightly and saw a familiar figure beside the bed.

Shen Yuhan was standing quietly beside her, the anxiety between his brows still not dissipated.
