This must be the first time that Shenjie suffered when the weather was good.
You can't bear it so soon. Should you ask the servants to change rooms or ask for leave and go back home?
Du Yaoyao got up to meet Liu'er.
Liu Er bowed politely, "I am sorry for disturbing you so late at night."
Du Yaoyao sat leisurely and took a sip of tea. "What does your master want you to do?"
Her tone was contemptuous and contained a hint of sarcasm. Liu Er heard it and explained, "Master didn't tell me to come here. It was Liu Er who took the initiative."
"Oh?" Du Yaoyao looked up, quite surprised, "What do you want?"
"I want to report to Madam about the young master's situation over the past year." Liu'er said.
"I will ask him what I want to know." Du Yaoyao smiled slightly, "Whatever he wants to tell me, he will tell me."
What I mean is that we don’t need a nosy middleman like Liu’er.
Liu Er's face was embarrassed, but she recovered in an instant and said, "Madam has been with the young master for a long time, and she knows what kind of person he is. To put it bluntly, he is stubborn. He won't give in to others easily, and he will just swallow all the blood and tears."
Du Yaoyao agreed with the first few sentences. A large part of her knot in her heart came from Chen Jie's tyranny and autocracy. As for the blood and tears, and who is speaking for whom, just listen.
She nodded and motioned Liu'er to continue.
"I didn't go to Nanzhao with you, so I don't know what happened to you and the young master in Jindu." Liu'er said truthfully, and then changed the subject, "But the young master was seriously injured when he came back from Jindu. He was stabbed in the lower abdomen with a sword that was poisoned. He barely survived after several months of recuperation."
Du Yaoyao lowered her eyes. When a high-ranking official was assassinated, the court would not make the official's injuries public for the sake of dignity.
She had heard rumors that Shen Jie was injured, but she had no idea where he was injured or how serious the injury was. There's no guarantee that Liu'er's words might be exaggerated.
Indifferently, "Hmm."
Liu Er was afraid that Du Yaoyao would not believe it, "If Madam has any questions about this, you can go to the Imperial Hospital to find the young master's medical records for verification when you return to Beijing."
In order to summarize and compile effective prescriptions to save lives, the Imperial Medical Service usually would not falsify the information about the patients it cured.
Du Yaoyao said calmly, "I do have some trust in him."
Liu'er was unhappy. His current wife seemed cold and indifferent. He always felt that he had no place in her heart.
He went on, "While the young master was recovering from his injury, he would cough up and vomit blood when he heard your name. The imperial physician said it was a heart disease. Everyone thought you were gone, and the young master refused to allow a mourning hall to be set up or a coffin to be carried. He often stayed in your room all night alone..."
After hesitating for a moment, he still said boldly, "During the first month of this year, I accidentally drank wine mixed with medicine from someone's house. I felt so uncomfortable. I didn't ask a woman to help me. I stayed in your room and soaked in cold water for half a night. I got a cold."
He wisely did not mention that Chu De deliberately drugged her to bring Shen Jie and Ye Ying together.
