Hua Yu was taken aback, looked up and saw a girl with a head full of pearls and jade smiling at her: "Fourth sister has worked hard, Ill take it to the emperor for you."
"What? Li Huaiyu stood up and looked at her in confusion: "This seems to be the medicine I brewed.""
"Yes." The girl in front of her smiled very gently, "So thank you for your hard work."
After finishing speaking, he suddenly turned around and walked out with the medicine in hand.
Hua Yu was taken aback, thinking that for so many years the entire courts literary and military officials had been scolding him for being shameless and having no face, he really thought he was the most shameless person in the world. But as it turned out, there were actually people even more shameless than him?
Watching the little girls back, Huai Yu patted her hand and followed closely behind.
The girl walked into the east wing with a tray, her steps light and elegant. When she arrived at the door of the guest room where Jiang Xuanjin was staying, she smoothed out her hair and let the maid go forward to knock on the door.
"Whats going on?" He pushed open the door and looked at her with a puzzled expression.
The person outside the door knelt down and said: "Xuanji, the little girl, has come to serve you medicine."
Is this the well-behaved Bai Xueji from White Mengs mouth? Li Huaiyu listened behind, suddenly enlightened.
Previously, Bai Meng wanted to get the Second Miss of the White family to show her face in front of Zi Yang Jun, but there was no opportunity. However, this Second Miss had a clever idea and knew to seize her medicine to curry favor.
It makes some sense.
He cast a sidelong glance at Bai Xueqi, bowed his head and said "wait a moment", then went into the house to report.
Bai Xuan stood quietly for a while, then turned her head and saw her standing at the gate of the courtyard, and smiled: "Fourth sister is here?"
Li Huaiyu walked forward, admiring her calm demeanor. She had just snatched the medicine from her, and yet she didnt even bat an eyelid - truly worthy of being a daughter of the Bai family.
"Second sister, whats going on..." Looking at the medicine bowl in the tray, Huaiyu smiled and said, "Lu Lus face?"
Bai Xueqi bowed her head: "Mothers orders, I have no choice but to obey. I hope Fourth Sister wont take offense."
"Youve said that, and if I were to blame you, wouldnt it seem like Im narrow-minded?" Huai Yu imitated her by smoothing out her temples and winking, "Wishing Er Jie all the best."
Having said that, he lifted his feet and walked towards the guest room.
Bai Xuanji watched her movements, stunned for a moment before shouting: "What are you doing?"
Hua Yu ignored her and strode directly into the house.
Jiang Xuanjin was already lying down, his eyes tightly closed, and his face still pale. Cheng Xu stood beside the bed, somewhat at a loss for what to do.
"Fourth Miss." Seeing her enter, Cheng Xiao said, "Masters illness is likely to worsen, its best to return to the medicine hall."
Hua Yu glanced at the person on the bed and said, "Now if he were to ride in a carriage for another half an hour, his condition would likely worsen. If youre really worried about him, I do have an idea."
"What?"
"I accidentally heard that in the Lu Mansion next door, there is a box of spiritual elixir passed down from Nan Yan, which can cure all diseases and calm the six internal organs." Huai Yu turned her head to look at him, "Although the medicine is precious, Ziyang Jun is even more valuable. The master of the Lu Mansion is reasonable, if you go ask for it, he will probably give you one pill."
There is a miraculous medicine, with it, Jiang Xuanjins illness will definitely be cured quickly.
His eyes lit up for an instant, but immediately dimmed again.
"Is it the Lu manor next door?" He smiled wryly, "If someone else were to ask for it, that Master Lu might actually give it. But my master... Im afraid its unlikely."
Lu Jingxing, the shopkeeper of Canghai Yizhu Pavilion, was a close friend of Princess Changsun before her death. Since his master personally sent off Princess Changsun to the afterlife, Lu Jingxing resented that he didnt even have time to do so, how could he possibly use the spirit medicine to save her?
"Whats difficult about it?" Turning around to walk to the other side of the desk, Huai Yu picked up a brush and licked the tip, pulled out a letter paper and drew randomly, "You just go, bring this with you, and say that the fourth miss of the Bai family asked for his help."
She took over the letter with a puzzled look and her face was all scrunched up.
I thought she was writing some elegant words, but who knew it was a mess of scribbles? These horizontal and vertical strokes, what are they supposed to be? If I take this to show Lu Jinghang, wont I really get kicked out?
But the Lu and Bai estates are adjacent, and its only a matter of a few sticks of incense before they notice something is amiss, so he might as well try his luck.
He cupped his hands and said: "Please let Fourth Miss take care of Master for a while."
"Easy to say." Huai Yu smiled and nodded.
When he came out alone, Bai Xueqi was still standing outside, a puzzled look on her face, and she looked back at him with suspicion.
"This medicine will be put aside for now, you cant drink it yet." Cheng Xiao bowed his hands to her, "Miss, please go back first."
Bai Xuan raised her eyes slightly and pointed to the side room: "Ke Zhu... she..."
"Fourth Miss and two guards are inside taking care of you, if theres nothing else, dont disturb her." After saying that, Cheng Xu performed another bow and then walked out with the letter.
Bai Xuan stood there in a daze, staring at his back, her face full of incredulity.
"Miss." Xi Yun, the maid, took over the tray from her hand and frowned, "What can we do? We cant even see Masters face."
Bai Xuanji didnt know what to do either, she had thought that at least they could meet once, but unexpectedly Jun Shang wouldnt even take the medicine, all her thoughts were in vain.
Thinking of the white pearl that had been smiling foolishly at her just now, Bai Xuan finally furrowed his brow.
Carrying a letter of introduction, he nervously went to the Lu mansion and handed in his visiting card.
Lu Jinghang was the largest merchant in Kyoto, and his mansion was located among many official residences. It was even more magnificent and luxurious than the official residences. However, the usually bustling gate of Lus mansion was very quiet today, with a white silk ribbon hanging from the golden red signboard, tied with a bow at both ends.
Riding on a whim, he looked very surprised and turned his head to ask the gatekeeper: "Has someone in the mansion passed away?"
The gatekeeper passed on the name card and sighed: "No."
Why would it be like this? Its really puzzling. I lowered my head and thought for a moment, feeling anxious in my heart.
Isnt this... mourning for Princess Chang of Danyang?
Its all over. Lu Jinghangs obsession with Danyang is indeed very deep, and now it seems even more unlikely that he will let go of the spiritual medicine.
He hesitated for a moment, then handed the letter from Miss Bai to the doorman: "Trouble you, please hand this over to your master along with that."
The gatekeeper took over the response and had it passed on. Taking advantage of the emptiness, he was almost desperate to think that he would wait for half a time, if in half a time Lu Jinghang still did not give a reply, he could only think of ways to drive the carriage more smoothly.
However, before half a stick of incense had been sent in, someone came out from the mansion.
His footsteps were disordered, his breathing unstable, Lu Jingxuan strode over with large steps, the white jade crown on his head, adorned with black hair, was slightly askew, the gemstone belt was also loose, his face was pale and wan, only a pair of phoenix eyes still shone brightly, faintly revealing a hint of the young masters elegance.
He stared blankly at him, and saw that he had walked a few steps in front of himself, his eyes burning with inquiry:
"Where is Miss Bai Si?"
