The two bowls of medicine were drank under the watchful eyes of the two nuns. The bitter taste made Bai Yu'an almost vomit.
She did vomit it out, perhaps due to her body's instinctive rejection. She hunched over to support the stool, cold sweat broke out on her forehead, her stomach was churning, and all the concoction was vomited out.
The maids and women in the room were so frightened when they saw this. Aunt Xue quickly went to get tea for Bai Yu'an to cleanse her mouth, and also used a hot handkerchief to wipe Bai Yu'an's sweat.
Bai Yu'an's face was pale, and his body was trembling slightly as he propped himself up on the stool.
Aunt Yun quickly went to help Bai Yu'an lie down on the couch, and then brought a jar of sour plums to Bai Yu'an: "Miss Bai, please eat a plum."
Bai Yu'an glanced at it, took one and put it in his mouth.
But the wound on his tongue hadn't healed yet. The plum rolled over the wound, and the pain came back.
The sour taste did not make her feel better.
At this time, Axia came over again with a medicine bowl: "Miss Bai vomited the medicine she drank just now. This is brought here again. Miss Bai, please drink it."
Bai Yuan glanced at it and looked away.
Axia looked at Bai Yu'an's expression, lowered her eyes respectfully and whispered: "Miss Bai, if you don't drink, the master will be angry when he comes back."
Bai Yu'an froze and looked at the medicine bowl that had been brought to him.
The bitter medicinal smell lingered on her body. Next to her, Nanny Xue put another plum to her lips: "Miss Bai, just hold it in your mouth. After one sip, it won't be bitter anymore."
Bai Yu'an raised her head and looked around. There were three or four people surrounding her. Their eyes were staring at her so tightly that she couldn't even take a breath.
Bai Yu'an knew that he had to drink this medicine.
She couldn't make Shen Jue angry anymore.
She silently took the medicine bowl from Axia's hand, followed by two more bowls of medicine. Her stomach was rolling and she wanted to vomit it out again. She held it back, pinching her sleeves tightly, dripping with cold sweat.
Seeing that Bai Yu'an was feeling uncomfortable, Nanny Xue quickly fed Bai Yu'an another plum: "Miss Bai, keep it in your mouth, it will be fine after a while."
Bai Yu'an shook his head, pushed away the old hand in front of him, looked at Nanny Xue and asked, "Can I go out for a walk?"
Aunt Xue was a little embarrassed: "You are already cold. If you go out to enjoy the wind, you might get seriously ill again."
Bai Yu'an glanced at Nanny Xue and stood up: "I want to go out for a walk."
Seeing this, Nanny Xue couldn't stop her. She quickly went to get a cloak and tied it on Bai Yu'an. She said softly: "Miss Bai, you have to take your own body seriously, otherwise you will be the one who suffers."
Bai Yuan said nothing, swayed slightly, and walked outside.
It was already bright outside at this time, and the dazzling light penetrated into Bai Yuan's eyes, causing Bai Yu'an to squint slightly.
There is still some spring chill at this time of year, and the gentle breeze brings a slight chill.
She lowered her head and walked forward.
Aunt Xue and Aunt Yun followed closely behind Bai Yu'an. Looking at Xu's unstable body, they didn't understand why they were walking outside when their bodies were like this.
But as soon as Bai Yu'an came out of the yard, he saw a row of girls kneeling outside the yard. Looking carefully, they seemed to be the ones who were in the house yesterday.
Axia hurriedly walked to Bai Yuan's side and whispered: "My lord has given instructions, saying that these girls are at Miss Bai's disposal."
He looked at Bai Yu'an carefully and said, "They were kneeling last night. What do you want to do with them?"
Bai Yu'an pursed her lips and looked at the girl kneeling on the ground, who would be whipped by the nanny next to her if she swayed slightly.
Almost everyone had shocking whip marks on their bodies, but no one dared to snort.
Bai Yu'an pursed her lips and whispered: "Let them all get up."
Axia was surprised, but still didn't say much. She quickly said to the woman holding the whip: "Miss Bai said to let them all get up."
The woman then said sternly to the girl kneeling on the ground: "Why don't you thank Miss Bai quickly?"
The girl on the ground quickly knelt down to thank Bai Yu'an.
Bai Yu'an couldn't bear to see this, so he stopped looking away.
She looked at the attic where Shen Jue often stayed, which was the highest place in Shen's mansion.
She asked, "Can I get out of the yard?"
Nanny Xue smiled: "Of course you can, you can go to all the places here."
Bai Yu'an paused, looked at Nanny Xue and asked, "Did Shen Shoufu say that?"
When Nanny Xue heard Bai Yu'an's unfamiliar address, she was slightly startled and then said with a smile: "Of course it was ordered by the Marquis."
Bai Yuan looked away, and before leaving, he suddenly looked at Axia next to him: "Is Cuihong okay?"
Axia also didn't expect that Bai Yu'an would suddenly ask about Cuihong. She was stunned and said hurriedly: "Cuihong has applied medicine on her body, but she still can't get out of bed."
Bai Yuan paused and then said softly: "Then I'll go see her."
Axia didn't react. When she did, she saw that Bai Yu'an had already gone to the gallery.
Bai Yu'an knew that her body was seriously ill, but she didn't really want to get better.
He forced himself to walk to the corridor, his head was so dizzy, and every step he took seemed to be unsteady, but the distance was not far, but Bai Yu'an felt that he could hardly breathe.
Bai Yu'an entered Cuihong's house. Nanny Xue and the others looked at each other and waited outside.
There were only two beds in the room, which was brightly lit, with a table in the middle and beds on both sides.
At a glance, Bai Yu'an saw someone lying on the bed on one side. She walked over and sat beside the bed.
Cuihong was lying down when she heard someone coming in. When she turned around, she saw that it was Bai Yuan.
She said in surprise: "Miss Bai, why are you here?"
She was slightly stunned again when she saw that Bai Yu'an's face was pale, but his hair was obviously carefully combed, and he was wearing fine and elegant clothes, as well as a moon-white and gold-woven cloak.
Bai Yu'an looked at Cuihong, and then saw her lying on her stomach, the quilt on her body sliding off her back, and the blood stains on her back could be vaguely seen.
She paused and reached out to pull open the emerald red quilt, only to see scars all over her back. The blood stained her clothes red, and the whip marks could be clearly seen.
Bai Yuan lowered his head, looked at Cuihong, and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry."
After hearing this, Cuihong hurriedly said: "It's none of your business. I did something wrong myself."
Bai Yu'an sighed silently, took out a bottle of medicine from his sleeve and stuffed it into Cui Hong's hand: "This medicine works, you put it on first."
Cuihong looked at the medicine in her hand and was stunned for a moment. This medicine was unusual just by looking at the bottle. Although she couldn't understand the words on the bottle, she knew that this thing was probably valuable.
Her heart skipped a beat and she quickly asked, "Where did Miss Bai come from?"
She remembered that Miss Bai didn't have any medicine for her injuries, and she was given the medicine by herself.
Bai Yuan's medicine was put on the bedside by Shen Jue after applying it to herself last night. When she woke up in the morning, she thought that Cuihong had hidden it in her sleeve, so she brought it to her now.
She lowered her eyes, her beautiful figure was upright, her wide sleeves were draped on the edge of the bed, and her tone was as gentle as a whisper: "You can just use it, the wound is still not healed after use, I will find a way for you."
Cuihong was moved for a moment, holding Bai Yu'an's hand tightly with her eyes red: "You are injured yourself, bring it to me."
Seeing Cui Hong about to cry, Bai Yu'an chuckled: "I've already applied the medicine, so you don't have to worry about me."
Cuihong stared blankly at the smile in Bai Yuan's eyes, which was as gentle as a spring breeze. Even though her cheeks were pale and she was not wearing anything, she felt that the person in front of her was the same person as Master Bai.
Bai Yuan saw Cuihong looking at her in a daze, and patted the back of her hand: "I'm leaving first."
