Chapter 466 All the prophetic abilities were simply preordained.
"...!"
Yuwen Qian's aura deepened.
For the first time, a look of astonishment appeared on his face, but this astonishment seemed not to be at the sight of her words, but rather a kind of—being caught off guard.
He said in a hoarse voice, "What did you say?"
"..."
"You say you can predict the future?"
"right,"
Shang Ruyi calmly faced his flickering gaze, as if something had broken the stillness of an autumn pond, the shimmering light reflecting his emotions so clearly.
“I know he won’t die.”
"Why?"
"Because I won't let him die."
"...!"
Yuwen Qian's aura deepened once again.
Just then, a series of hurried and chaotic footsteps sounded outside the house, as if a group of people were rushing over. They walked all the way to the door, and both of them immediately turned to look outside. It was Dai Junliang who walked to the door: "Madam Shang."
Shang Ruyi asked, "What is it?"
Dai Junliang said, "A woman came from outside, claiming to be your maid, Madam. Her name is She'er. She said she came to deliver medicine."
Upon hearing this, everyone in the room was stunned.
Yuwen Qian's eyes widened in disbelief as he looked down at Shang Ruyi. At that moment, Shang Ruyi, oblivious to those around her, stood up abruptly, her eyes shining like someone who had walked through a long night and finally seen a ray of light: "Where is she?!"
Upon hearing this, and knowing that what the people outside said was true, Dai Junliang said, "I had someone take her to the side hall, but that girl is very impatient and insists on seeing Madam immediately, which is why I came to report right away. Since she is Madam's person—"
"Bring her here right now!"
"yes."
At this moment, Dai Junliang did not dare to delay. He hurriedly turned around and instructed the people behind him. Those people rushed out and soon returned with a familiar figure.
It was Tusheer!
She was travel-worn, clutching a bundle tightly in her arms as if it were a priceless treasure. Upon seeing Shang Ruyi, she immediately rushed forward: "Miss!"
"She'er!"
Upon seeing her, Shang Ruyi disregarded everything else and asked only, "Where's the medicine?"
Upon hearing this, Tushe'er hurriedly handed over the bundle in his hand: "Here it is!"
Shang Ruyi immediately took it, placed it on the table to the side and opened it. Tu She'er also hurriedly helped her unpack the bundle while saying, "After Miss left, I took Jiang Kesheng and the others out of Tongguan. Just as you predicted, Miss, there were no such medicinal herbs nearby. We almost reached the vicinity of Luoyang before we found a village where we could buy these herbs."
"..."
"As Miss instructed, I purchased a large quantity of medicine and had it transported back to Daxing City. I then brought a packet of medicine to Fufeng."
"..."
As she spoke, she seemed to sense something and turned to look into the inner room. Through a semi-transparent screen, she immediately saw Yuwen Ye lying on the bed, barely breathing, and her face turned pale.
"Miss, am I late?"
At this moment, the burden was also lifted.
A strong medicinal smell immediately wafted over, and upon closer inspection, it was found to be talc, magnolia bark, and atractylodes lancea, among other medicinal herbs!
Upon seeing these medicines, Yuwen Qian, who was standing to the side, was also startled and looked at Shang Ruyi in disbelief.
At this moment, Shang Ruyi no longer cared about the joyful, astonished, or even indescribably complex looks around her. She just nodded repeatedly and said, "Not too late, just in time. She'er, you've done a great service!"
"real?"
Upon hearing the words "not too late," Tushe'er felt a great weight lifted from her heart and immediately smiled with joy. Shang Ruyi, without saying much, immediately said, "Woxue, quickly take this medicine and brew it. Three qian of Atractylodes lancea, three qian of talc, two qian of Magnolia officinalis, and one qian each of Phellodendron chinense and Angelica dahurica. Simmer over low heat with three bowls of water until one bowl remains. Go quickly!"
"yes!"
Overjoyed, Wo Xue stepped forward, took the bundle, and turned to leave.
Upon seeing her, Tushe'er panicked and instinctively tried to take the bundle back: "Miss!"
Wo Xue froze in place for a moment.
Shang Ruyi understood what Tu She'er was worried about. She sighed softly and said, "She'er, a lot has happened these days. I'll tell you the details later. But there's one thing you need to know: both my life and the General's life were saved by Wo Xue."
Wo Xue hurriedly said, "Young Madam, you flatter me."
Upon hearing this, Tushe'er seemed to understand something, loosened her grip slightly, and Woxue immediately took the bundle, nodded to her, and then turned and walked out.
Tushe'er watched her figure disappear outside the door before turning back to look at Shang Ruyi. Although Shang Ruyi's words were few, they made her realize that something very dangerous and alarming must have happened here. She wanted to ask, but she didn't know how to start.
Moreover, there was a tall and handsome figure standing beside him.
Only then did Tusheer have a chance to bow and carefully say, "Greetings, Young Master."
Yuwen Qian nodded gently.
Although he didn't say anything, his clear eyes clearly saw a lot. Shang Ruyi thought for a moment and said to Tu She'er, "She'er, you must be tired from your journey. Go and wash up first, and come back to serve me later. I'm a little tired too."
Tushe'er nodded, while Mu Xian and the others, who were already overjoyed to see that she had brought the life-saving medicine, immediately came to greet her and led her downstairs, with laughter and chatter filling the air along the way.
Once the sound had faded into the distance, Shang Ruyi slowly raised her head and looked at Yuwen Qian.
Yuwen Qian smiled at her and said meaningfully, "So this is what you mean by 'foresight'."
"..."
"No wonder you insisted that Feng Chen stay in Fufeng to recuperate; it's because you had already arranged for someone to deliver medicine."
"..."
"However, when did you send this young lady to buy the medicine?"
Shang Ruyi paused for a moment, then said, "Predicting the future is just a joke."
"..."
"Just like my elder brother said, there is no such divine person in the world. All those who can foresee the future are just making arrangements in advance—I knew that Feng Chen would definitely be saved because I arranged for her to deliver the medicine."
Yuwen Qian looked into her eyes: "But how do you know that Feng Chen will definitely contract this disease?"
Shang Ruyi gently shook her head: "Actually, I don't know either."
"and you--"
"However, the person who collected the medicinal herbs made too many moves."
"..."
"Daxing City is such a prosperous city, yet it has collected all the Magnolia officinalis, Talc, and Atractylodes lancea available on the market. Even if I don't need these medicines, I can't help but be suspicious and worried."
"..."
"What if the people of Daxing City need these medicines?"
"..."
"What if Fengchen and I need these medicines?"
"..."
"Thinking about it this way, I couldn't sit still. So, I simply arranged for She'er to go out and find medicine after I left, and send it all back to Daxing, and then take some out and send it to Fufeng. If nothing serious happens, I'll just consider it as losing a bet and paying some money; if something really happens, then I'll have saved one person, two people, or even thousands of lives."
At this point, she smiled faintly and looked up at Yuwen Qian: "It seems I won my bet."
"..."
Yuwen Qian didn't speak, he just stared at her intently.
Those clear, almost transparent eyes were now rippling with emotion, as if caressed by a gentle spring breeze, but the emotions hidden deep within those ripples were difficult to decipher.
After a long silence, he smiled slightly and said, "Sister-in-law, you really surprised me."
"..."
Shang Ruyi frowned slightly.
That same phrase again.
To be honest, there was nothing wrong with the statement itself. At this moment, Yuwen Qian's words were in line with her actions. However, since Yuwen Ye had said these words to her before, hearing them from Yuwen Qian's mouth made her feel somewhat uneasy.
After a long silence, she said softly, "Even my elder brother shouldn't be surprised."
"..."
"As a daughter-in-law of the Yuwen family, I know I should be more cautious, so I won't let Fengchen suffer these days."
These words, without their being spoken, instantly created an immense distance between the two of them.
Yuwen Qian looked at her for a while and smiled faintly.
Then, he turned and walked into the inner room.
Shang Ruyi hesitated for a moment, but could only follow. The two walked to the bedside together. She sat on the edge of the bed again, while Yuwen Qian stood at the head of the bed. The two silently looked at Yuwen Ye's calm, pale face—but this time, it seemed that the two of them had forgotten to wear the veil that could prevent them from contracting the serious illness.
He didn't say anything more.
After an unknown amount of time, Wo Xue finally came in carrying the brewed medicine.
She carefully brought the medicine bowl to the bedside. Shang Ruyi took it herself, scooped up a little with a spoon, and gently blew on it to cool it down. On the other side, Yuwen Qian bent down and helped Yuwen Ye sit up halfway. Then, she gently held his chin and made him open his mouth. Shang Ruyi immediately put a spoonful of warm medicine into his mouth.
He gulped it down.
Then, another spoonful.
Together, the two of them fed him half a bowl of medicine. Shang Ruyi took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped his mouth. Yuwen Qian then gently put him back on the bed.
And so, we just quietly waited there.
After a while, Yuwen Ye's breathing became much smoother, and even his breath was no longer as hot as before!
The medicine really worked!
At this moment, Shang Ruyi took a deep breath, as if the invisible shackles that had been binding her chest all these days had been completely removed. In fact, without realizing it, an indescribable bitterness accompanied by scalding tears welled up, instantly burning her eyes until they turned red.
Yuwen Qian glanced at her, said nothing, and turned to leave.
Just then, there was a sudden, urgent knocking at the door, as if something serious had happened. Shang Ruyi sensed something was wrong, quickly calmed herself down, and gave Wo Xue a look. Wo Xue immediately went out and opened the door.
The next moment, she rushed in, panicked: "Young Madam!"
"What's wrong?"
Seeing her somewhat disheveled appearance, Shang Ruyi frowned. Before she could put down the empty bowl, she heard Wo Xue say, "Song Yu is dead!"
