After sitting for a while, Nan Yi felt a backache and asked her lover to massage it. She comfortably reclined on the low couch, and Yi Ren teased her, saying, "Master, you must have lost quite a bit today."
"Hmm, a few hundred taels," she said, her skills were poor, she only wanted to have fun. "How do you know I lost money? I remember Qingyun was serving me."
Sigh, Qingyun has become a big mouth too.
Yiren rolled her eyes upward and said, "It's not just this servant who knows, everyone in the mansion probably knows. Just look at how Song Gege, Geng Gege, and Niu Gulu Gege are grinning from ear to ear, their faces are practically blooming with laughter."
"Pfft, haha—indeed." The lover wholeheartedly agreed.
"That's not..."
"Master, something's happened!" Qingyun stumbled in, his face ashen, panting heavily.
The three, master and servant, were startled. Nan Yi stood up and asked, "What is it?" Qingyun, having caught her breath, wiped the cold sweat from her face and said in a trembling voice, "Master, someone in the kitchen just said that the Second Prince is not well and has fainted for no reason. Fangfei Courtyard is in chaos."
Nan Yi was startled and exclaimed in astonishment, "He was perfectly fine just now, how could he suddenly faint?" She had just teased him and even fed him a pastry... a pastry... Could it be...?
Please don't think it's what she's thinking. But she's eaten the same pastry before and she was fine. It shouldn't be here. Thinking of this, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Qingyun trembled slightly, her eyes darting around, her lips moving but no sound coming out. Nan Yi grew even more anxious and urged, "Speak!"
Qingyun knelt on the ground, her mouth trembling as she said, "They said... they said she ate something unclean at Wanyue Pavilion."
Nan Yi's expression changed drastically upon hearing this, and her relaxed heart jumped again. "What? Wan Yue Pavilion doesn't have..."
The words had barely left her mouth when she suddenly remembered the scene of Hongpan running towards her. She seemed to have indeed given him a small piece of pastry, which she had also eaten. Instantly, cold sweat broke out all over her body, and she trembled slightly. She looked up at Qingyun and murmured softly, "I ate it too." She had eaten it too.
"What?" The three maids were extremely shocked and rushed forward, surrounding Nan Yi with concern. "Master, are you alright?"
Where does it hurt?
Nan Yi shook her head with a wry smile and said, "I'm fine. I'll go see the Second Prince first." She got up and started to walk out.
The foot that was being lifted was startled by the curtain that was violently pulled open. Looking up, she saw Li Shi, who was accompanied by a lot of maids and servants. Li Shi glared at her fiercely and scolded, "Sister Tong, has your sister done something to wrong you? How could you be so heartless as to lay a hand on the young prince? Huh?" As she spoke, she was about to rush forward, but was stopped by Qingyun and the others.
Qingyun hurriedly explained, "That's not how it is. It wasn't done by Master. Please, Consort, don't make a rash decision."
Li shoved Qingyun away and cursed, "If it wasn't her, who else could it be? This vicious woman actually attacked a child."
Qingyun's face paled, and he said again, "But Master also ate."
Li Shi became even angrier, her face contorted with rage. She pointed at Nan Yi, who was hiding behind her, and growled, "If she ate it, why is she alright? Why doesn't she just die?" Li Shi lost control of her emotions, and the servants of Fangfei Courtyard joined in the shouting and cursing.
Li started cursing again, shouting, "Tong Yilan, you're just jealous of me, jealous that I can have children. You can't have a son yourself, so you take your anger out on other people's sons. You shameless and vicious bitch, I'm going to tear you apart! Ah!"
Qingyun and the others had never seen anything like it before and were somewhat frightened, but they all huddled around Nan Yi, pulling and shoving Li Shi and the others. Nan Yi pushed them aside, stood in front of Li Shi with an unusually serious expression, and said, "I said it wasn't me. If I did it, call me..."
Huh? — She's done for. The sluggish Nan Yi suddenly felt unwell. Her body suddenly became weak and powerless, her five senses suddenly weakened, she couldn't even muster her internal energy, and her vision became blurry.
Li was still screaming angrily, his sharp voice reaching Nan Yi's eardrums like an old record deliberately slowed down, then suddenly exploding slowly.
But she was still whispering, "Call me..." when her body gave way and she collapsed to the ground. Before she passed out, she thought, "Damn it, I've been infected too."
That's a brilliant two-birds-with-one-stone strategy.
"ah--"
Seeing her suddenly faint and fall to the ground, Li's face changed drastically, and she screamed in fright. The servants were all stunned.
"Master, what's wrong?" Qingyun's lover cried out as she rushed over, gently rubbing her master's cheek. "Master, wake up, wake up!"
Qiu Ma finally squeezed through the door, her hair disheveled. Seeing the situation inside, she knew something was wrong and ran over to scold, "They've all gone mad! Quickly go and fetch the imperial physician!" She then ordered the maid to carry the person to the bed.
Yiren stood up, shaking her leg, and shouted, "This servant will go and fetch the imperial physician." Seeing that everyone was still blocking the doorway, she roared, "What are you looking at? Get out of here!"
Seeing that Tong was also in a bad mood, Li, her face pale, sheepishly withdrew from the door and hurriedly left the place of trouble, rushing back to her own courtyard to see her son. In the end, it was Xiao Shunzi who was quick-witted. Hearing the servants discussing the matter, he ran off to the Fifth Prince's residence.
As Yinzhen was toasting and exchanging drinks with everyone, he heard a commotion outside the hall. The people in the hall looked curiously towards the door. The chief eunuch of the Fifth Prince's residence hurriedly led someone in. Upon closer inspection, they recognized him as Xiao Shunzi from the Fourth Prince's residence. He used to serve the Fourth Prince personally, and everyone remembered him.
When Yinzhen saw this, it was that ignorant servant again. He was about to scold him when Xiao Shunzi stepped forward, pulled up his master, and said urgently, "Master, hurry back to the manor, something has happened."
Yinzhen's expression hardened, and he frowned. Something had happened in the manor, and Tong Shi had slipped out to play again. In his memory, the only one in the manor who could cause trouble was Yi'er.
This matter could not be made public, so he stood up and said to the groom, "Fifth brother, I have been rude today. I have urgent business at my residence, so I must take my leave now. I will make amends properly another day."
"Oh, Fourth Brother, go quickly, important matters are at hand. If you need my help, please let me know," Fifth Prince said, rising to see him off.
Yinzhen bowed to everyone present and quickly left with Xiao Shunzi. Just as he was leaving, Thirteen caught up with him, "Fourth Brother, what happened?"
Yinzhen paused slightly, but Shunzi was extremely anxious, stamping his foot and shouting, "Something terrible has happened! Master Tong and the Second Prince have suddenly fallen into a coma and are unconscious. The mansion is in complete chaos!"
Upon hearing this, Yinzhen's mind went completely blank. How could this be? Yet his body vanished like a whirlwind.
Thirteen was stunned. When he came to his senses, he shouted, "Master, go and fetch the imperial physician!" and then disappeared.
In the hall, the three men, Eight, Nine, and Ten, sat in a row, watching the scene from just now with thoughtful expressions. Was the incident at Fourth Brother's residence related to Nan Yi?
The tenth prince leaned close to the ninth prince and asked, "Has Nan Yi caused trouble again?" His words were tinged with schadenfreude. Nan Yi was such a troublemaker; he never made a sound wherever he went.
The Ninth Prince frowned, grabbed a duck leg and stuffed it into his mouth, saying with slight annoyance, "Shut your crow's mouth."
He was somewhat afraid of his tenth brother, because good advice always came true, but bad advice always did.
The Tenth Prince was about to retort when he saw his Eighth Brother glaring at him. He sat up straight and angrily began chewing on a duck leg, muttering under his breath, "Fine, I won't say anything. I'll eat the duck leg. Anyway, Nan Yi likes to eat it too."
Old Nine had just taken a sip of wine when he heard him rambling on, and choked, coughing and leaning to one side. Old Ten turned around and patted him on the back, sheepishly explaining that it wasn't intentional.
