The Third Prince
"What about me?"
"You? You've been in the south for a while. Wouldn't it be nice to be a fisherman?"
Chen Huanli nodded thoughtfully, "Then tell the prince about the master behind Wanhua Tower and let them fight each other."
"I've asked Yan An to do it."
Fu Huaiying thought for a moment, and suddenly remembered that Lin Yan'an said that it was the third prince who ascended the throne in the previous life.
"When you have time, get in touch with the Third Prince. Anyone who can fight his way between the Crown Prince and King Huan is no ordinary person."
The third prince had no sense of existence in front of his two older brothers, but he had a very good reputation among the people. Whether it was distributing porridge or rescuing collapsed houses, he went there personally, and he also gained a reputation among the people for loving the people like his own children.
However, his biological mother was just a palace maid, not favored, and had no family background, so she was destined to have difficulty ascending to a high position.
"I've seen the Third Prince. Judging from his face,... well... how should I put it, he looks like a Bodhisattva."
"Bodhisattva? What does this look like?"
"...Hmm...I can't really explain it, it's just an inexplicable feeling."
Fu Huaiying had never seen the third prince, so she couldn't imagine what a Bodhisattva-like face looked like.
Maybe it's because people who talk behind others' backs will always be caught. On the way back, Fu Huaiying happened to see a young man squatting next to a rockery, reaching his hand inside, not knowing what he was trying to get.
She didn't want to disturb him, but she found that he was wearing the clothes of a prince, and his back was thin. He was not the prince, nor did he look like King Huan. If it was not these two, it was the third prince with a bodhisattva-like appearance that Huanli had mentioned just now.
Fu Huaiying paused and thought for a moment. She really wanted to see what the Bodhisattva looked like. She stepped forward and saluted, "Third Prince."
Chen Wenqian looked back at her, his eyes lowered to glance at the badge on her waist, and nodded, "...You are...Fu Zhibi, right?"
Fu Huaiying nodded, looked at his expression, and sighed that Chen Huanli's description was correct.
A pair of soft and curved willow-shaped eyebrows, with a red mole in the middle of the eyebrows, seems to have a sense of compassion when lowering the eyes, and the lips are slightly thin, which brings a natural sense of compassion.
"What is your Highness the Third Prince doing?"
"There's a white cat inside with a broken leg, but it won't come out."
Fu Huaiying looked around, picked some grass from not far away, put it in the palm of his hand, and walked back.
She squatted down in front of the cave under the rockery. When Chen Wenqian saw her coming, he hesitated for a moment, then stood up and made way.
Fu Huaiying stretched her hand inside, and the white cat immediately came out and rubbed against her hand.
Chen Wenqian exclaimed in amazement, squatted down and picked up the cat, "Fu Zhibi...how did you do that?"
Fu Huaiying spread out the stack of grass for him to see. "Use this with the mint mentioned in the Materia Medica, which is the wine of cats. Using mint can lure cats out."
Chen Wenqian nodded thoughtfully. "Thank you so much for writing today, Fu. I have to go treat its wound now, so I'll be leaving now. I'll come to thank you another day."
"It's just a small favor, Your Highness, don't worry about it."
After leaving the garden, Fu Huaiying turned around and ran into Fu Bai again, and hurried out.
When he saw her, Fu Bai immediately stepped forward, his eyes turned red and tears burst out instantly.
"Third Miss! Please save my young master..."
"What happened to Wen Yuhe?"
"That sword I was struck with on the road earlier! The sword was poisoned, but I had already cleared it... I woke up yesterday, but suddenly heard the bad news. Young Master... Young Master..."
Fu Huaiying lowered her eyes, hiding her impatience, and said calmly, "Your son is in a bad condition, but you don't go find the imperial physician, but come to me? I can't treat illnesses, so why are you looking for me?"
Fu Bai immediately knelt down, tears streaming down her face, "Third Miss... I beg you, please go see my young master... He's still calling your name in his dreams..."
"Get up. I didn't say I wouldn't go. There's no need to do this." She was not used to being knelt on like this.
Fu Bai immediately stood up and walked in front of her to lead the way.
Fu Huaiying followed him into the yard and happened to see a maid coming out with a basin of blood. When Fu Bai saw it, he started crying again.
Fu Huaiying looked annoyed and glanced at him, "Stop crying, it brings bad luck."
Fu Bai immediately stopped crying. He couldn't cry, or he would cry himself to death for the young master.
Fu Huaiying walked directly into the inner room. The imperial physician was treating Wen Yuhe's bleeding wound. Seeing the newcomer, he was slightly startled. "Fu Zhibi?"
Fu Huaiying nodded and lowered her eyes to look at the person on the bed. Wen Yuhe had a pale face, closed eyes, and traces of tears on his face. He looked particularly weak.
"Doctor Liu, when will he wake up?"
"It depends on the situation. He just woke up and his emotions are fluctuating greatly. He can't stop bleeding right now. If it continues like this, it will be very difficult to deal with."
Fu Huaiying found a place to sit down. She was also a little curious whether Wen Yuhe could survive this.
Another half an incense stick of time passed, but the bleeding still hadn't stopped. Doctor Liu was so anxious that he was sweating.
Fu Huaiying was planning to watch from the sidelines, but when she turned around, she suddenly saw his coat hanging on the rack with a jade pendant tied on it. She was a little stunned. She also had a jade pendant like this, which was carved by Wen Chuyan himself. There were only two of them, and originally they each had one. Wen Yuhe insisted on being a pair with her, so she asked Wen Chuyan for it.
If Wen Yuhe died, Wen Chuyan wouldn't be able to hold on, right?
Fu Huaiying stared at the jade pendant for a long time before sighing. He took out a pill he had prepared earlier from his sleeve and handed it to Doctor Liu. "This is something my mother left behind. It can protect the heart meridian. You can try it."
Doctor Liu had no choice but to try his luck. He helped Wen Yuhe up and tried to insert the medicine into his body.
But the patient was unconscious and the medicine could not be delivered, so Fu Huaiying had to do it herself. She reached out and removed Wen Yuhe's jaw with two clicks, then poured the pills mixed with water into the jaw, and only then did the jaw recover.
After doing all this, she sat down again and waited until the bleeding completely stopped before getting up and leaving.
"Thank you for your hard work today. When the general comes back, you will all be rewarded handsomely."
She turned her head, nodded slightly, and thanked Doctor Liu.
It was already late at night when Wen Yuhe woke up again. Fu Bai didn't dare to close her eyes and watched him all night. When she saw him wake up, she cried with joy.
"Master...Master...you're awake...you're finally awake..."
He immediately went to get some water, helped Wen Yuhe up, and fed him.
Wen Yuhe drank some water, but his voice was still hoarse, "My cousin really..."
"Master, please don't worry anymore. If it weren't for the Third Lady today... I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to see you..."
When Fu Bai talked about the sad things, he kept wiping away his tears.
"Sister Huaiying is here?"
"The Third Miss was worried about you and came to see you. Seeing that your injuries were serious and bleeding, the Third Miss took out the medicine that her aunt left behind that could protect your heart meridians, and saved your life."
Wen Yuhe touched his chest, pulled the corners of his mouth, and a bleak smile appeared on his pale face. He closed his eyes, did not respond, and just let him go out.
When Wen Yuhe saw him leave, his shoulders immediately drooped, and he covered his chest with his hands, tears streaming down his face.
For so many years, he has not been smart. He does not have his brother's military achievements, nor his cousin's official position and fame. He knows that he is not worthy of Sister Huaiying, but he just loves her. He loves her so much that he always does stupid things every time she is around.
He also knew that Sister Huaiying was not a good person. When the ancestral hall caught fire, he knew she did it on purpose, but if he told anyone, her life would be ruined.
Wen Yuhe cried silently, his chest aching. He knew without asking or evidence that his cousin was dead. Even if Huaiying was not the murderer, she was at least a pusher.
That day was extremely chaotic, so he personally handed his cousin over to his brother. His brother was a martial arts expert, so with him around, his cousin would naturally be safe. But when she died, his brother was not there.
Only Sister Huaiying could make him put everything aside and follow her.
After figuring it all out, Wen Yuhe was speechless due to the pain, but he didn't even have the courage to question Sister Huaiying. He had seen all the hardships she had endured when she was young, but he was young at that time and really thought it was just a joke between the two sisters...
It wasn't until he discovered the irreconcilable atmosphere between them that he completely understood, but he couldn't even blame her.
"Is Wen Yuhe awake?"
Da Hu leaned against the door, watching Fu Huaiying put on her makeup. "Yeah, she even locked Fu Bai out of the door and hid inside alone. I don't know what she's doing."
"Fu Huairou is dead, and he's heartbroken," Fu Huaiying said coldly, "Don't worry about him. The important thing now is the Crown Prince."
"Hey girl, that pill is so precious, isn't it a waste to give it to him?"
Fu Huaiying paused while holding the comb. "It's okay. As long as I have the herbs, I can make more. I'll prepare a few for you then."
Da Hu came over and put his hands on her shoulders and neck. "Girl, you are so nice. Why are you so nice to me?"
Fu Huaiying did not avoid it. It was difficult for her not to be sincere to Dahu. Although Dahu was Lin Yan'an's man, she could hand over the indenture contract without worry, and he would do things for her again and again and get close to her.
After A Niang left, she hadn't been this close to anyone for a long, long time. Only Da Hu...she was different...
Fu Huaiying saw her squeezed face in the mirror and chuckled, "Because you are different, different from everyone else. You are very important to me."
"Is he as important as the young marquis?"
"...It's hard to say, but right now, you are more important than him."
Da Hu happily hugged her neck and rubbed it against her.
Fu Huaiying raised his hand and patted her head, "Don't move, why are you like a puppy?"
"Because I am the girl's dog."
Fu Huaiying curled the corners of her lips. She really liked Dahu's behavior. It seemed that he had no one else to rely on except her and could only rely on her.
"You went out just now, did you see anything?"
"No, it's too dark. But there was some movement by the lake just now. I don't know what was thrown in. I heard it sounded like a person."
Fu Huaiying turned around and looked at her, "Did you see clearly who it was?"
"No, but judging by his robes, he looked like a Jinyiwei, so I didn't dare go any further."
"Jinyiwei? That's what His Majesty wanted. Silencing someone in the middle of the night without any oral instructions or draft decrees doesn't seem like something that could be seen in public."
Da Hu blew out the candle and pulled her onto the bed by the moonlight. "Don't think about it, girl. It's late at night and you have to go to work tomorrow. You have to get up early."
"I felt something was wrong, and suddenly I wanted to know who died."
Da Hu had just laid down when he saw her gloomy expression. He sighed and sat up again, "Forget it, I'll go get the person and see who it is, so you don't have a bad night's sleep."
She made a move to get up, but was stopped by Fu Huaiying. "Don't go. If you're discovered, you'll be the next person in the lake. It's okay. I'll check it out tomorrow."
Da Hu spread his hands and said helplessly: "In that case, let's take a rest."
