Chapter 148 Deception
Li Ruanruan had a dream.
The dream was filled with thick fog and it was dark everywhere. She was looking for directions in her dream.
She was feeling frightened and uneasy when Honghua suddenly appeared and pulled her forward.
Li Runrun ran with her, but her hands were empty and the red flower disappeared.
Li Ruanruan only heard her voice: "Master, go forward and don't look back."
"Honghua, Honghua, where are you?"
No one responded to her.
Li Runrun couldn't find anyone anywhere, so she could only run forward as Honghua said.
I don’t know how long I ran, but the sky suddenly became bright all around me, and in front of me was a paradise with peach blossoms flying everywhere, which was a beautiful sight.
Li Ruoruan smiled. She wanted to look back at the way she came and see if Honghua had caught up with her.
But the moment he turned around, he suddenly woke up.
Li Runrun's heart was pounding, but luckily it was already daybreak, and she could see the furnishings in the room clearly, and the fear in Li Runrun's heart faded away.
Thinking back to the dream I just had, I felt like something was gnawing at my heart, but I didn’t know what it meant.
Li Runrun tried to get up, only to feel pain all over her body, especially the places where she had been hit by the stick.
She frowned and finally lay down.
Li Ruanruan fell asleep again in a daze.
This time, she was woken up by someone calling out, "Ruanruan, little Ruanruan."
Li Ruanruan opened her eyes and saw the face of the prince. She burst into tears almost instantly: "Prince..."
Ye Yunchu grabbed her hand and said, "It's okay, Ruanruan, don't be afraid, I'm here."
He gently wiped the tears from Li Ruanruan's face: "I know everything. It's not your fault. I know."
Li Ruanruan's tears fell even harder: "My Lord, Honghua didn't do anything like that. She was framed."
"I know you didn't do it. It's all over. I'm here to take you back."
As soon as Ye Yunchu got up and left, Li Bai hurried over, holding the warmed clothes, and helped Li Ruanruan get up and put on the clothes.
Li Runrun was helped up by Li Bai. As she put on her clothes, she wondered what the prince meant by saying this.
Does it mean to remove her and let Honghua take all the blame?
Li Runrun knew that she had no say, and it was not so easy for Honghua to clear herself of this matter. If she wanted to calm the situation, the fastest way was to make Honghua the scapegoat.
It is impossible for the prince to go to the Xu Mansion to ask for an explanation, conduct a thorough investigation of the Xu Mansion, and tear the two families apart just for her, a maidservant who serves as his concubine.
She is very sensible and she knows everything, but after weighing the pros and cons, she is still very sad.
She knew that this was a method and rule used by powerful families to deal with things, and the lives of slaves were never important.
But she was so sad, she felt that it was fate, that was a living person.
When Li Bai saw her crying, she looked at her worriedly and anxiously and wiped her tears.
Li Runrun pushed her hand away, put on her clothes, and didn't feel the pain anymore.
She knelt before Ye Yunchu and said, "My Lord, even if Honghua is to be blamed for this, I beg you to save her life. Even if you have to send her to the manor, it doesn't matter how far away it is. Please, for the sake of our relationship as master and servant, save her life, okay?"
Li Runrun knelt in front of Ye Yunchu. She tugged at the corner of Ye Yunchu's clothes and looked up at him, full of pleading and desire.
Ye Yunchu didn't immediately help Li to soften up. He just lowered his eyes and looked at her for a long time before saying, "Okay, leave her here to heal. I'll send her away after she's cured."
He then reached out his hand.
Li Ruanruan placed her hand on his palm and stood up with his help.
Ye Yunchu held her in his arms and touched her shoulders, only to find that she had lost a lot of weight in just two days.
He squeezed her shoulders gently and hugged her tighter, feeling that if he didn't hold her tighter, a gust of wind would blow her away.
"Let's go back first."
Li Ruanruan heaved a sigh of relief when she heard Ye Yunchu say this, then she said cautiously, "Can I go see Honghua?"
"There's a strong smell of blood over there, so it's better not to go there."
"I, I can go by myself."
"You are sick. Wait a couple of days until you are well and then come back."
At this moment, Chen Jiaojiao also walked in and saluted him: "Greetings, Master."
Then Chen Jiaojiao looked at Li Ruanruan: "Honghua's condition has stabilized, thanks to the prince's golden medicine."
Then Chen Jiaojiao gave a look, and the maid behind her handed over the medicine that had been packed for six days.
Chen Jiaojiao and Li Ruanruan exchanged glances before looking at Ye Yunchu and instructing him, "This time you had sex and it hurt your internal organs. You need to take good care of yourself. Stop taking all the medicine you were taking before. Take this medicine for six days, then come over and I'll take a look at your condition."
Haitang went up to take the medicine, and Ye Yunchu said, "In that case, thank you very much, Miss Chen."
"You're welcome. I still have to take care of the patient, so I won't see you off, my lord. Goodbye, my lord."
Ye Yunchu nodded.
Chen Jiaojiao greeted again and left.
Before getting on the carriage, Li Runrun looked back at the Chen Mansion. She didn't see any red flowers, which made her feel a little uneasy.
But when she heard that a golden wound medicine was used, she knew what the medicine was.
I think Honghua's condition should be stable now.
Li Runrun breathed a sigh of relief and got on the carriage. She said she would come to see Honghua when she got back and her condition got better.
Li Ruanruan sat in the carriage, gently placed her hand on her lower abdomen, but took it away for fear of being noticed.
She sat obediently beside Ye Yunchu.
Ye Yunchu touched her face and said, "You look very bad. Let's go back and ask the court doctor to check you again."
Li Ruanruan's face suddenly turned even paler, and she said, "No need."
"Um?"
Li Ruanruan lowered her eyes, hugged Ye Yunchu's waist obediently, and threw herself into his arms: "Miss Chen has already examined me very thoroughly and prescribed the medicine. There is no need for the court doctor to see me again. If the two medicines counteract each other, the prince will not be able to see me anymore."
"Is there such a thing?"
Seeing Li Ruanruan being so well behaved, Ye Yunchu patted her head and then said, "Then take the medicine for a few days and see if it doesn't get better. Tell me and I'll go get the doctor."
"Can the prince still find the imperial physician? Oh, I forgot. The day Miss Xu was bitten by a snake, it was the prince who found the imperial physician."
"Why, are you feeling jealous?"
"I dare not."
Ye Yunchu looked down at Li Ruanruan's obedient appearance before saying, "You're so bold to bring this up. Master Xu hasn't even gotten out of bed yet. He's complaining to me that if he's crippled and has no offspring, we'll definitely take our child as compensation."
When Li Runrun heard Ye Yunchu say this, her face turned red. She really didn't expect that Xu Yangxi would complain and even complain to Ye Yunchu.
In this kind of situation, isn't it just a matter of suffering in silence?
They really tell each other everything, brothers and friends.
Li Ruanruan felt embarrassed. After hearing the rest, she looked up at the prince and asked worriedly, "Did the prince agree to it?"
