"Fifth Young Master, there seems to be something wrong with the girl!"
Xingyun was about to go out to take a look, but he remembered Nanyun's anxious voice outside.
When he unconsciously turned around and looked back, the person behind the desk was already in front of him.
"Fifth Young Master, I don't know when the girl started to feel very hot all over her body, and now she can't even wake anyone up!"
Nanyun has a neat temperament, he doesn't talk about things, and talks about things directly.
After hearing this, Rong Jiu walked quickly to the west wing without stopping, and Xingyun and others quickly followed.
Unable to wait for the people behind to catch up, Rong Jiu stepped forward and opened the door. There was only one lamp in the west wing, which was a little dim. Gui Yun hurriedly ran to the study to get another one.
In the room, Rong Jiu lifted up her robe and sat down. As soon as her cold fingers touched the forehead of the person on the bed, she was startled by the burning sensation.
Under the dim light, Tao Ye's cheeks were so brightly red that they seemed to bleed. Rong Jiu could feel the heat by running his fingers between his breaths.
"Go and ask Master Pei to come over and avoid people!"
Rong Jiu first ordered Xingyun, and then looked at Nanyun: "What's going on? Have you used all the medicine today?"
"After using it, the girl won't be able to eat dinner, but she will drink every drop of the medicine!"
Nayun replied.
"Slave, go get a basin of cold water and wipe the girl's body to cool down!"
After Nan Yun finished speaking, he remembered something again, bowed in front of the bed, and ran out the door.
"Guiyun, go get the sweet-scented osmanthus wine from the study!"
Rong Jiu remembered what happened at Yulin Guard a few days ago and called Jin Guiyun to give instructions.
Nanyun's Qingshui and Guiyun's Guihuazui entered the house almost at the same time.
"You get out first!"
Rong Jiu took the bottle and waved Gui Yun away first.
"Pour this water and use this wine to wipe her body!"
"yes!"
The fifth young master always acted prudently, so Nanyun followed his orders without even thinking about it.
After a while, the rich smell of wine spread in the room, carrying the slightly sweet scent of osmanthus.
Here Rong Jiu has already taken off all the inner clothes on Tao Ye.
Perhaps Rong Jiu was still carrying the chill from the night, and Tao Ye, who was so hot that she couldn't bear it, kept leaning into Rong Jiu's arms.
"Just wipe it like this!"
Rong Jiu glanced at the little maid's hand that was tightly grasping the jade pendant around her waist. The hand she had just raised dropped down again, half embracing her in her arms.
Nan Yun carefully wiped Tao Ye's whole body.
Tao Ye's whole body was flushed with fever, which made her particularly attractive, but Rong Jiu had no time to take care of it at the moment. She just kept testing the temperature of Tao Ye's forehead with her right hand.
When Nan Yun wiped it for the second time, Rong Jiu felt that the heat between the breath of the person in his arms was much less.
"Master!"
Xingyun's voice sounded outside the door, and Rong Jiu knew that a friend had arrived.
Instructing Nan Yun to put on Tao Ye's inner clothes, and watching Nan Yun tuck the quilt tightly, Rong Jiu took off the cold jade pendant from his waist and let Tao Ye hold it in the palm of his hand, then got up and went to open the door in person.
"What are you looking at? Come in yet!"
Rong Jiu opened the door and saw that her friend was looking towards the corridor to the west and refused to come in, so she urged him.
"Hey, this is the best osmanthus drunken bar. Are you using it to relieve your beauty's fever?"
Pei Weinan withdrew his gaze, stepped into the house, and took a deep breath while smelling the aroma of wine in the house.
But as the joke was being said, the person had already sat down on the stool in front of the bed.
Nanyun put a piece of plain Luopa on Taoye's wrist, and Pei Weinan pressed on the Luopa to feel the pulse.
"No, how is that possible?"
After a moment, Pei Weinan frowned and shook his head.
Seeing his friend's doubtful eyes on him, Pei Weinan took back his hand and said with full doubts in his tone: "Even if the medicine I prescribed cannot get rid of the wind and cold in three or two days, it will not aggravate the condition!"
"Has she taken her medicine on time these past two days?"
Pei Weinan asked.
"After taking it, the girl hasn't missed her medicine even once from yesterday to now!"
"Could it be that the doctor got the wrong medicine, or that the slave prepared the medicine at the wrong time and in the wrong way?"
The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional. Pei Weinan thought of the figure he had just glimpsed and said to Rong Jiu: "Is the medicine residue still there?"
"Here, slave, go right away..."
"Hide it, don't let anyone see it!"
Rong Jiu gave instructions.
Nan Yun agreed and left the house.
"This is a pill to dispel wind and cold. The effect is not as good as the freshly brewed decoction, but let her take it first. You are still thinking of using wine to reduce her fever, otherwise she will lose half of her life!"
When Xingyun went to Pei Mansion, he told Taoye's situation, and Pei Weinan picked out the right medicine and took it.
Rong Jiu took it, poured one, helped the person on the bed, and fed it.
"It seems you know what's going on!"
Pei Weinan sat down at the table, watched his friend's hands move with more caution than before, and said softly.
"Now is not the time!"
Qingxing and Zhao Jin were both from the East Palace, and Rong Jiu knew about it early on.
Although the prince is his cousin, he has been wary of him all these years.
"You have been acting like an ordinary splendid playboy these past few years, with no ambitions. Under the name of Mr. Kong's disciple, you are not even planning to take part in next year's scientific examination. The prince still has doubts?"
Pei Weinan had a rare look of worry on his face.
"In that position, he can't worry about anything. Besides, I'm still a useful person!"
There was a cold mockery in Rong Jiu's tone.
"Fifth Young Master, Young Master Pei, my slave has brought the medicine residue!"
The medicine residue was supposed to be disposed of immediately, but Nan Yun was worried about Tao Ye and stayed in the west wing after dinner. It was her mother He who saw that it was getting dark and moved the stove and medicine jar into the room.
Nayun took out the medicinal residue wrapped in thick kudzu cloth from his sleeve.
Pei Weinan took it and unfolded it, put it to the tip of his nose and smelled it carefully, then turned it over under the lamp a few times, with a focused look, he took out a piece of residue from it, smelled it again, and then threw it back to the pile of medicinal residue. Sneered.
"You really have a crouching tiger, hidden dragon in your yard. You can think of all kinds of ways to harm people! Not only does this thing look the same as the medicine I prescribed, but after you get through it, the taste is the same. If it weren't for This young master is usually interested in these things, so I’m afraid he won’t be able to smell them!”
"More importantly, this thing is a rare thing. The price of one piece can buy at least ten baskets of the medicine I prescribed!"
Rong Jiu's eyes instantly turned cold. Qing Xing couldn't get such medicinal materials alone.
In this courtyard, I am afraid that only Zhao Jin has this ability.
"It seems that there is more than one person in this courtyard who has bad intentions towards a beauty like you!"
Pei Weinan could tell the clues from his friend's expression at a glance.
But the medicine is so rare that even with Zhao Jin's power, it might not be possible to obtain it in just one day.
"Write down the name of this medicine!"
In the Duke's Mansion, besides the two people in his courtyard, there was only one person who was willing to deal with Tao Ye in such a way.
