After the Hou family's mistress went crazy, she became the favorite of the entire capital.

Chapter 24 She deserves to be your wife

He Wangzhou became even more anxious.

He pulled the corners of the quilt to lift it off, but was worried that Shu Yan would catch cold, so he moved much more slowly.

When the quilt was lifted, the smell of blood was even stronger, and what he saw was the blood stained on the bed.

He Wangzhou's fingertips trembled, "Yan'er!"

Shu Yan didn't wake up and didn't even feel the slightest bit.If it weren't for the fact that her face was still flushed due to fever and her chest was still breathing, He Wangzhou would have thought she was dead.

After a moment of panic, he quickly calmed down, untied Shu Yan's clothes, and saw clearly the scrawled bandages on her thin arms that were soaked with blood, and felt inexplicably angry in his heart.

"Ah Si, go see if Dr. He is still there and invite him over immediately."

Then, He Wangzhou called shopkeeper Xu again, "There is a pharmacy under Yan'er's name. You go and get some medicine to stop bleeding. If you want, you don't have to record these in the account. Remember, you go there in person and let the pharmacy shop owner do it in person." Get it for you."

Shopkeeper Xu didn't know why, but he was still taken aback by He Wangzhou's seriousness.

The shopkeeper of the medicine shop was the person chosen by He Wangzhou. He wrapped the medicine neatly and asked shopkeeper Xu to go through the back door.

As soon as Shopkeeper Xu left, people from the General's Mansion came to the door.

Doctor He frowned after looking at the injuries.

"The thing that hurt the young lady is so vicious that it tore the young lady's flesh to pieces. Fortunately, her muscles and bones were not injured. She needs a good rest and good medicine, and she will be cured."

He Wangzhou's eyes were cold and his face was cold and gloomy.

"What did you say hurt my wife just now?"

Dr. He gave a rough description.

"Young Madam is so tolerant, I really admire He."

Doctor He said meaningfully, "My eldest son, she deserves to be your wife."

Mash the meat raw...

He Wangzhou's heart tightened, and he looked at Shu Yan with pity.

There was a waiter keeping vigil in the shop. He asked, but the waiter didn't hear any noise that night.

But she was obviously so afraid of pain that she screamed intermittently all night long, yet she could not hold back a word despite being so seriously injured.

"Sir, it should be this one."

Ah Si held a piece of dark cloth in his hand, stained with dust.The rag was holding a hidden weapon made of black iron, with fine barbs all over it.

It is indeed a vicious thing.

"Sir, Beiyuan does not allow private production of black iron among the people. Will this thing..."

He Wangzhou threw away the dirty things in his hands and said, "Wash this thing clean. I will use it later."

East Palace.

A scream pierced the night in the East Palace.

When the palace people arrived with lanterns, the guards were taking down the hanging corpse in front of the Prince's Zhengju Palace. There was blood, water, pus, black stench on the ground, and it was unknown how long it had been hanging here.

The prince's expression was extremely ugly, and everyone in the East Palace knelt on the ground, not daring to take a breath.

Shu Yan didn't wake up until the evening of that day, and after looking at it for a long time, he recognized that this was Jin Yuyuan.

She has returned to the Hou Mansion!
She wanted to get up and pull on the injury, but the pain made her gasp.

Someone strode in with the coolness of early spring outside.

"Wake up? Does it still hurt?"

She stared blankly, "He Wangzhou?"

He Wangzhou put his hand on her forehead, "Fortunately, it's not hot anymore."

He helped Shu Yan sit up, then asked the maid to bring the medicine, scooped up a spoonful and blew it to cool down before putting it to her mouth.

"Drink medicine."

How could Shu Yan be in the mood to drink medicine?

"How many days have I slept? Where is Fifth Master?"

She groped under the pillow to hand him the white jade porcelain vase, but after groping twice and finding nothing, she remembered that the thing was not in Jin Yuyuan's room.

"An antidote..."

"this?"

He Wangzhou picked something up out of nowhere, and Shu Yan took a few glances to recognize it. The porcelain vase in front of him, which had a bit of a concubine color, was exactly the one she took out from the general's mansion.

"Why has your color changed?"

He Wangzhou chuckled, "You lost too much blood that day, and the porcelain bottle happened to be cracked, so it turned into a royal color."

Shu Yan moved but said nothing.

She wasn't sure that what was in the porcelain bottle was the antidote to Wuling Powder, so she didn't dare to speak.

"Fifth Master's poison has been cured." Shu Yan raised his head, his apricot eyes clear and bright.

"Is it okay now?"

He nodded, "But you still have to pretend."

Shu Yan finally asked the question that he had been holding back.

In the palace, he is the fifth prince who is so mediocre that others cannot even remember him. Outside, he is the fifth master who is thoughtful and good at pretending.

"Why is he pretending?"

He Wangzhou answered very cleverly. "To save my life."

Shu Yan was speechless.

He Wangzhou patiently gave her the medicine, and she drank it obediently. He Wangzhou stuffed her with another piece of preserved fruit.

Shu Yan was obviously stunned for a moment.

Before her rebirth, she was the daughter of General Lin. Her parents taught her not to be squeamish since she was a child, and she didn't need to be coaxed for such trivial matters as taking medicine.

She had only heard people say that the lady in the boudoir was delicate and had to pass her mouth with preserved fruit after drinking the medicine.

It turns out that sweetness can really suppress the medicinal smell.

He Wangzhou didn't know what she was thinking, but he saw her silly and cute, and gave her another piece as if coaxing a child.

"I've been hungry all day, what do you want to eat? Food from the house, or snacks from pilgrims?"

The tip of Shu Yan's nose felt sore, and He Wangzhou was so frightened that he quickly put down the things in his hands and wiped the corners of her eyes randomly.

His rough approach forced Shu Yan to hold back the tears that were still in his eyes.

"I'll prepare it all for you. If we can't put it in the room, I'll have people put it outside and set up a dozen tables."

He Wangzhou waved his hand and someone immediately went to take care of it.

Shu Yan was really angry at him and laughed.

After calming down, she straightened her tone and asked He Wangzhou.

"Husband, will Fifth Master harm you?"

He Wangzhou only found it funny, "Why do you ask that?"

"Will he?"

Shu Yan repeated it again, with some anxiety and urgency in his tone.

"will not."

He answered firmly and his expression was rare and serious.

Shu Yan breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay, then I'll help him too."

He Wangzhou chuckled, "What are you helping him with?"

Shu Yan said word by word, "Help him save his life, help him get what he wants and where he wants to sit."

His smile froze on his lips, "Do you know what you are talking about?"

She half-closed her eyes and said, "Fifth Master, is he the fifth prince? I have heard Lin Jinan mention it before. The first time you brought me to see him, I was just suspicious. This time he was injured, so I guessed it."

He Wangzhou pursed his lips and said nothing, only looking at her with a deep look.

Shu Yan knew what he was thinking and said, "Don't worry, I won't ask any unnecessary questions. I'm not a talkative person either. I still know what should be said and what shouldn't be said."

"Yan'er."

She didn't ask, but there were some things He Wangzhou really wanted to ask.

"Where did you learn your martial arts?"

"Home."

Shu Yan didn't lie. She had indeed been practicing martial arts since she was a child.If the Shu girl hadn't become weaker after her rebirth, her skills would still be the same as before.

"My father spoiled his concubines and killed his wives, and my mother came from a merchant family and was inferior to the ladies of powerful families who paid attention to their famous families. They were afraid that I would be bullied, so my mother made me learn self-defense."

He Wangzhou narrowed his eyes, "Then why are you pretending not to know?"

Shu Yan learned and applied it now, "to save his life."

He Wangzhou stopped asking about these trivial matters, "Where did you get the antidote to Wuling Powder?"

After this incident, Shu Yan already knew that he couldn't hide it from him, so he stopped hiding it.

"General's Mansion."

"You were also injured at the General's Mansion?"

Shu Yan shook his head, lowered his eyes, slightly raised the corners of his lips, and said a name.

"It's Hongxiu."
