Although Jiang Wuyou didn't understand, she politely said, "Your Highness, it's too much of a compliment for you to call me 'sister.' You will be Young Master He's legal wife in the future, so it should be me who calls you 'sister.'"
Meng Qingrou looked at He Yunxiao and asked in a low voice, "What do you mean?"
Although she said it was soft, all three people present could actually hear it. Jiang Wuyou simply pretended not to hear.
He Yunxiao said somewhat awkwardly, "What Miss Jiang means is that from now on you will be the wife and she will be the concubine."
Meng Qingrou: ?
"when……"
He Yunxiao hurriedly said, "Rou'er, you can't go back on your word. You promised yourself that you would live with Sister Jiang."
"I……"
Meng Qingrou was speechless; it seemed there really was such a thing. But she hadn't thought much about it at the time and had agreed without much thought.
Meng Qingrou is a member of the royal family, so they are quite lenient in this regard. Her grandfather, maternal grandfather, and father all had a household full of women. Besides, He Yunxiao is the one who can make decisions for Meng Qingrou. Even after they get married, He Yunxiao will still be in charge and manage her in every way.
He Yunxiao tentatively asked, "Rou'er agreed?"
"I... I'll talk about it after we're married."
"That means you agree to get married."
Meng Qingrou blushed as He Yunxiao teased her. She held her breath and remained silent.
However, since they were not in Linxuan Palace, she dared not get angry or throw a tantrum, and she did not even loosen her grip on her hand.
He Yunxiao had them completely under his control.
"Rou'er, Qiu Chan."
He Yunxiao didn't speak, but instead mouthed the words.
Meng Qingrou glared at He Yunxiao. Although she was angry, she still knew what was important. A temper tantrum was a small matter; a life was at stake. No matter what, she had to help Miss Jiang make the antidote for "Autumn Cicada."
"elder sister……"
Jiang Wuyou said helplessly, "Your Highness, you must not call me 'sister' anymore."
“Then…” Meng Qingrou looked at He Yunxiao, waiting for him to speak.
He Yunxiao said, "I'm afraid you won't be able to say 'sister' to me, so let's just call you Wuyou."
"Sister Wuyou, put your wrist on the table, and I, the Empress, will take your pulse."
He Yunxiao: ...
Jiang Wuyou: ...
Given Nan Zhu's personality, expecting her to put on airs with others would be too much to ask. In He Yunxiao's memory, Nan Zhu was only ever fierce towards him; she was always friendly and polite to other strangers. She was a typical bully who preyed on the weak and only picked on those who were not to be trifled with.
He Yunxiao didn't care anymore; let things get chaotic as they may.
"Sister, don't worry, Nanzhu's medical skills are among the best in the world. Just put your hand down and leave the rest to us."
Jiang Wuyou didn't doubt He Yunxiao's words. She just found it strange that He Yunxiao suddenly brought a "trustworthy doctor" with him. Did he want to fake a pregnancy pulse to deceive the Marquis and his wife? Or had he already discovered traces of "Autumn Cicada"?
Regardless, Jiang Wuyou chose to trust He Yunxiao. Since he had plans, she would leave everything to him.
Jiang Wuyou placed her hand on the table with peace of mind, waiting for Meng Qingrou to take her pulse.
Meng Qingrou felt Jiang Wuyou's pulse and, after careful examination, found nothing abnormal. She looked at He Yunxiao, signaling that it was time for him to make a move.
He Yunxiao said he understood, first taking out a strange leaf for Sister Jiang to eat, and then placing his hands on Sister Jiang's back.
"Sister, it will get a little hot in a while, don't worry, it's normal."
Okay. I believe you.
He Yunxiao dared not delay, and immediately channeled his inner strength to demonstrate the results of his practice over the past few days.
He Yunxiao controlled the pure internal energy, which flowed through Jiang Wuyou's limbs and meridians, heating his blood, raising his body temperature, and accelerating his heartbeat.
Meng Qingrou, who was focused on taking Jiang Wuyou's pulse, quickly noticed the abnormality in his body.
It's an autumn cicada!
There are a lot of them; they look like they've been poisoned for a long time.
Meng Qingrou nodded to He Yunxiao and said, "Alright, Sister Wuyou is fine, just a little weak. Rou'er will prepare some pills to help Sister Wuyou improve her constitution."
He Yunxiao nodded in agreement. "I see. So that's why I've been so down lately. Sister, wait here while I go get your medicine."
Nan Zhu had to wait for Meng Qingqian at Linxuan Palace that afternoon. At this time, she also had to buy medicine, prepare medicine, and buy her pretty clothes and a ceramic chubby dog.
Time was too tight, so He Yunxiao said goodbye to Sister Jiang, grabbed Nanzhu's hand, and walked out.
"Sister, you must keep Nanzhu's visit a secret. I'm taking her to get your medicine now. She won't be coming for lunch."
Goodbye, Sister Wuyou.
"Your Highness, please take care."
Jiang Wuyou watched He Yunxiao's departing figure and suddenly said, "Xiao'er!"
He Yunxiao stopped and turned around: "Sister?"
Jiang Wuyou hesitated before she could speak frankly, saying, "You, be careful."
Seeing the sorrow on Sister Jiang's face, He Yunxiao felt a deep pang of pain in his heart. Sister Jiang must be suffering terribly, caught between Qi and Yan. Damn it, if I had a million soldiers, I would have wiped out Yan! My Sister Jiang wouldn't have to endure this humiliation!
The plan to build up our power must be put on the agenda!
He Yunxiao tightened his grip on Nanzhu's hand slightly, still smiling as he said, "Sister, don't worry, everything will be alright, trust me."
Comforted by He Yunxiao's words, Jiang Wuyou felt much better. Regardless of the past, the days of being abandoned and worrying about food every day—the most difficult time of her life—were over. Now, at least she had enough to eat and wear, and someone loved her, didn't she?
Jiang Wuyou finally understood.
