"Thank you, father-in-law."
Yu Zheng was blaming himself at the moment. Ever since he knew that Su Yu had saved him from getting sick, he had vowed to treat her well. But what had he done now? If he had arranged the manpower well, how could he let her fall into the trap of yesterday? Such a dangerous situation at night. Thinking that he almost lost the person in front of him last night, his heart ached even more.
As Su Yu lay on the bed, he felt that his whole body was hot and cold. He wanted to open his eyes but couldn't. When he finally opened his eyes, he saw Mian Yu's enlarged face.
"you……."
Just when she was about to say why are you here, she moved a little and realized that her hand was being held by a big hand. When she looked sideways, she saw Yu Zheng holding her hand. This scene reminded Su Yu of a scene she had seen before. In the scene of a costume drama, the heroine is injured, and the hero holds the heroine's hand like this, looking at the heroine with an affectionate look. Thinking of the word affection, Su Yu carefully looked at the expression on Yu Zheng's face and found that it had nothing to do with the word affection. Su Yu immediately pulled his hand back.
Yu Zheng saw Su Yu's expression in his eyes.
"you're awake."
"What's wrong with me?"
As soon as he spoke, Su Yu realized that his voice was extremely hoarse.
"Drink some water first. You had a high fever early in the morning and it just went down."
Yu Zheng said that he wanted to step forward to help Su Yu, but Su Yu refused. Looking at Yu Zheng's upper body wrapped up like a mummy, the injury was much more serious than hers. She just had a high fever and was not unable to move her hands and feet.
When he was halfway leaning on the bed, he took the water handed over by Yu Zheng and drank a large glass of it.
"How do you feel now?"
"It's okay, but I don't have much strength. Are your injuries okay?"
"It's just some bleeding. The imperial doctor has prescribed blood-replenishing medicine. It will only take a few days to heal. However, Dr. Fan said that your body is very cold this time and you need to take medicine for three months to heal."
When it came to taking three months of Chinese medicine, Su Yu's face almost twisted into a knot, and Yu Zheng beside him laughed out loud.
"why are you laughing!"
"I didn't expect that you are not afraid of anything, but you are actually afraid of taking medicine."
Su Yu rolled his eyes.
"What's wrong with being afraid of taking medicine? I'm not the only one in Dazhou who is afraid of taking medicine."
Cai Cai had just woken up and was not very energetic, and Yu Zheng didn't want to tease Su Yu.
"I have already told Dr. Fan to make the medicine for you into pills. You can just take two pills every day."
Su Yu, who was as wrinkled as a bitter gourd face, suddenly smiled and laughed suddenly. She thought of Er Hu and stopped laughing immediately.
"Is Erhu okay?"
"It's okay. The wound on its foot has been bandaged. Now it just needs to take a good rest. It won't be able to move around for a few days."
"That's okay, what time is it now?"
"It will be dark soon."
"So I've been sleeping all day, and Erhu hasn't eaten yet. I have to go check on him."
Su Yu said that he was about to get out of bed, but was stopped by Yu Zheng.
"You'd better lie down in bed, I've already fed Erhu."
"He eats what you feed him?"
Su Yu was skeptical.
"It's delicious."
"Gulu."
When it came to food, Su Yu's stomach immediately protested, even though Su Yu was a little embarrassed even though he was so shameless.
"Are you hungry? I'll have someone bring you something to eat."
"Someone is coming."
Yu Zheng shouted towards the door, and Su Yu realized that she and Yu Zheng were the only two people in the room. None of the palace maids who had been waiting on him were there. Everyone was busy and there was no time to watch over her.
What Su Yu didn't know was that Yu Zheng sent them out of the room because he thought the two palace maids were an eyesore.
Soon a palace maid entered the room.
"Master Yu."
"Go bring dinner over."
"Yes, Master Yu."
After a while, the palace maid came in carrying a food box, placed the food on the round table in the room, then bowed and left.
Su Yu got off the bed, went to the side to wash up, and then sat down at the table. Seeing a pair of dishes and chopsticks placed opposite him, he couldn't help but look at Yu Zheng.
"You haven't eaten yet?"
"I lost my appetite just now, and now I'm a little hungry."
After saying that, he got up, walked a few steps and sat opposite Su Yu. Although Yu Zheng behaved as usual, Su Yu still found that Yu Zheng was unnatural when walking. It seemed that his right leg was injured, and the injury was It shouldn't be light.
"Did you catch those assassins last night?"
"Not yet, but this morning the emperor made a big fuss. He dismissed the commander-in-chief of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division and sent him to prison. The Governor of Kyoto fined him half a year's monthly salary, and gave the Minister of Dali Temple a month's probation. Investigate the case. Later, we recruited six chief ministers from the cabinet to discuss the matter, but I don’t know what they said specifically.”
Su Yu didn't quite understand what was going on in the court, and she didn't want to understand. She just wanted to find out the case in front of her.
"Why do you think the other party sent a killer to kill me? This is obviously not in line with the other party's behavior?"
While Su Yu was eating his food, he was discussing the case with Yu Zheng across from him.
This woman's abduction case would not have come to light if her father had not accidentally hit it. But even if her father discovered it, Su Yu felt that there was no need for the other party to go to war and send a killer to kill her. He wanted a way for her to die. There are many ways, and the other party obviously chose the most ostentatious one, which is obviously not in line with the usual behavior of the people behind the scenes.
This is also what puzzles Yu Zheng.
"Did you discover the key to the case?"
Su Yu is not sure either.
"But I heard that yesterday afternoon, Luo Cheng, the former commander-in-chief of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division, had the filial piety of a wealthy businessman under him, and he took his subordinates to Chunfeng Tower last night. Apparently they had a plan to kill you. We started preparing it in the afternoon.”
No wonder she rode two tigers all the way to the palace gate last night. She didn't even see a single patrolling officer on the way. It turned out that she had gone to a brothel when she was on duty. No wonder the emperor dismissed her from his post.
"Master Luo, the Chief Assistant, is Luo Cheng's eldest brother. The Emperor only dismissed Luo Cheng from his position because of Master Luo's face. Otherwise, if this matter were to happen to ordinary people, he would be ordered to confiscate his home and exile him."
Therefore, Su Yu felt that the network of officialdom in Kyoto City was too complicated, so it was better to get less involved.
"Should we go back?"
"The chamberlain just said that the emperor gave us a verbal order to recover from our injuries in the palace, and then go back after our injuries are healed."
"In the palace?"
"Don't worry, this is usually a place where ministers rest occasionally. All six ministries have a holiday during the Chinese New Year. They won't come back until after the fifteenth day. No one will disturb you when you live here."
"That's good."
But Su Yu didn't expect that she would spend this year in the palace.
After the two of them finished eating, they asked the palace maid to take away the remaining food. Su Yu urged Yu Zheng to go back to the room to rest. She just had a high fever. She would be fine when the fever subsided. Yu Zheng's injuries looked obvious. It was a bit suspenseful, and his face was as white as if he had applied powder. She didn't know how much blood he had lost due to this injury. Also, she had to go and see Erhu to feel relieved.
Yu Zheng certainly knew what Su Yu was thinking, and his body was indeed a bit overwhelmed.
"Then I'll go back first. I'll live next door to you. If you need anything, you can come and tell me."
"knew."
After Yu Zheng left, Su Yu went to see Er Hu.
