I have suffered enough in my previous life, my cousin will never marry me

Chapter 27 Not Familiar
After sending Ye Wanshu to her room, Mu Qingqing simply took her pulse and had a rough idea of ​​her condition.

Unable to conceal her shyness, she looked at Fu Mingchi and said with some difficulty, "Brother Chi, this girl has taken... too much of that. I'm afraid it's a bit tricky. We need..."

"Which one is that?"

Fu Yunni blinked her clear eyes and pulled Fu Mingchi to ask urgently, "Brother, is this something delicious?"

Fu Mingchi and Mu Qingqing looked at each other awkwardly, then calmly picked up Fu Yunni.

"Children shouldn't ask too many questions about adults' affairs."

After giving a casual reminder, Fu Mingchi told Yan Jin to come and take the little kid to bed.

Fu Yunni refused and pleaded pitifully, "Brother, is my beautiful sister okay? I want to accompany her."

"She needs to rest now. You can't stay here and disturb her rest."

Fu Mingchi looked at Ye Wanshu, whose face was rosy, lying on the bed. Suddenly, the scene in the carriage flashed through his mind. Then, thinking about what his cousin had just said, his face darkened slightly.

After letting Yan Jin carry the little kid down, Fu Mingchi slowly sat down on the edge of the bed and looked at the sleeping Ye Wanshu again.

Less than half a cup of tea after entering the room, her entire face was soaked with sweat, as if she had just walked out of the bathroom. Her fair and rosy skin added a bit of gorgeousness.

"Brother Chi, this girl has taken an overdose of Yin Yang He Huan Powder. If we want to keep her safe, the best way now is to harmonize Yin and Yang."

Although she was reluctant to say this, Mu Qingqing still spoke frankly out of her heart as a doctor: "Otherwise, the heart meridian will be damaged, which will inevitably cause great harm to the girl's life."

Fu Mingchi concentrated for a moment, and suddenly took out an exquisite small box from his sleeve. When he opened the box, he saw a small pill as flawless as white jade.

Seeing him pick up the pill without hesitation and put it into Ye Wanshu's mouth, Mu Qingqing was stunned on the spot.

"Brother Chi, isn't this the Heavenly Realm's Spiritual Ginseng Heart Protecting Pill?"

Mu Qingqing hurried forward to stop her, "This medicine condenses the essence of hundreds of thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum and century-old ginseng. It is extremely difficult to refine. I heard from my aunt that it is intended to be presented to the Queen Mother. How can you let this girl take it?"

"How can a person who brings disaster to the country and the people be worthy of possessing such a peerless elixir?"

Fu Mingchi carefully fed the heart-protecting pill into Ye Wanshu's mouth, asked the maid for some warm water, and personally helped her swallow the pill.

Afterwards, he sat by the bed and observed patiently for a while, until he felt that her breathing had become smoother and more stable, and her complexion had returned to normal, then he got up.

Mu Qingqing saw everything and said nothing more. She just felt suddenly empty in her heart.

Although I have never heard that my cousin cares about any confidante over the years, if the woman in bed has nothing to do with him, he doesn't need to worry so much about her.

He would rather give her such a valuable thing as Lingshen Heart Protecting Pills than take advantage of her misfortune and violate her innocence. This only shows that my cousin values ​​this woman very much.

"Brother Chi, please go and rest early. This girl will be fine after taking the Lingshen Heart Protecting Pills. I will have someone take good care of her."

Mu Qingqing suppressed the sourness rising in her heart and said considerately.

Fu Mingchi nodded, glanced at the sleeping Ye Wanshu out of the corner of his eye, and then walked out of the room.

When we arrived at the front yard, Zhang had already brought people over and had someone clean up the guest room.

After all, giving the elixir presented to the empress dowager to an unknown maid was no small matter. Zhang heard people talking about this as soon as she came out of the room.

After inviting Fu Mingchi to sit down and have tea, Zhang gently twisted the Buddhist beads and first said that the little princess had been settled, and then asked cautiously.

"Ming Chi, who is the daughter of the girl in Qingqing's room? I heard from Housekeeper Zhao that you even rejected the marriage proposal from the Prime Minister's family. Could it be because of this girl?" "Aunt, there is no need to speculate. These two things are not related."

Guessing that his aunt already knew what had happened, Fu Mingchi scratched his teacup nonchalantly: "It's pitiful that the girl was framed. I can't take advantage of her misfortune. There is a better way to save her. Why bother to clear the bad guy's name?"

He said it calmly, but Zhang knew it in her heart. She was afraid that her nephew had fallen in love with her.

My brother-in-law is a devoted man. He devoted his whole life to my sister and never took concubines until his death. What my sister often said was that she was unable to give birth to more children for my brother-in-law.

Now the burden of the entire Yongning Palace falls on my nephew alone. My sister has been worrying about his marriage over the years, fearing that the palace will be extinct. It would be a good thing if there was a girl who could attract him, but the price is really too high.

"Ming Chi, don't blame your aunt for being nosy."

Zhang said earnestly, "Although the Yongning Palace is distinguished, it is not of your majesty's lineage after all. The Queen Mother and the royal family are wary of it. Although our Zhang family is a famous family in Gusu, we have been suppressed by the Gu family and are getting worse year by year. Both our families have high hopes for you."

Sighing silently, she continued, "You just arrived in Lin'an and you canceled the Ji family's marriage proposal. Now you've given the elixir presented to the Queen Mother to that girl. You're completely disregarding the reputation of both the Queen Mother and His Majesty."

Even though his aunt's throat was almost smoking, Fu Mingchi just took a sip of tea and remained silent.

"Auntie knows that you are proud and don't want to be involved in the disputes in Lin'an City."

Zhang continued chattering, "But you should understand one thing. Ji Yuan and the Queen Mother are the mainstays of the court. Even if they have no intention of supporting you as the crown prince, as long as you can win over both sides, the new emperor will not make things too difficult for our two families when he ascends the throne."

"My aunt has lived in Lin'an for a long time, but it seems she still can't see through people's hearts."

Fu Mingchi finally spoke, "Daye's kingdom is not ruled by the Ji family nor the Gu family. Our Majesty was able to secure the royal foundation under the all-powerful Gu family. He has his own strategies. If he continues to flatter the powerful relatives of the emperor, he will only end up snaring himself."

After saying this, he glanced at Zhang seriously and finally said, "Being a loyal minister may not bring you fame and fortune, but it will allow you to relax and live in peace. Moreover, the soldiers I raise in Yuezhou are not used to kill each other, but to help me recover the northern border in the future."

Although his tone was calm, it seemed to contain overwhelming power, which was deafening to the ears.

It was not until this moment that Zhang finally understood why her father did not send her sister into the palace but instead married her to her brother-in-law.

It seems that the rulers of Yuezhou throughout the ages were indeed not mediocre rulers. They were able to remain invincible in the tide of changing political power. How could they not have extraordinary wisdom?

"Hearing Ming Chi's heartfelt words today, Auntie finally understands what's going on."

Zhang's expression returned to calmness. She twirled her Buddhist beads with ease and said with a smile, "If you really like the girl in the room, when she wakes up, your aunt will ask around for you. Marrying her as soon as possible will also make your mother feel at ease."

"Aunt, you're overthinking it. I don't know her well."

Fu Mingchi's rather strict attitude made Zhang choke.

He sent someone to the Marquis' Mansion without knowing him, and gave him such a precious heart-protecting pill. This is really hypocritical.

"In that case, I'll tell someone to take good care of it. After all, guests are guests, and we can't fail to show proper hospitality."

Zhang got up feeling a little depressed, went outside to call her personal maid and went straight to her daughter's room.

Fu Mingchi sat upright beside the coffee table, his mind lingering with the scene in the carriage just now. He couldn't help but take out the blue handkerchief, holding it in his hand and looking at it quietly for a while.

Looking at the word "叶" embroidered on the handkerchief and thinking about the woman's dress and behavior, she didn't seem like a girl from an ordinary family.

He thought about it for a long time, but couldn't think of any prominent Ye family in Lin'an City.
