The moon lamp will not forget to send someone to inform the Qingjiang County Master, after all, Su Shaoge understands medical skills, but there is no formal imperial physician to reassure people - as for whether this will make the State Long Princess know Song Yixiao's whereabouts, both masters and servants know what is important, now is not the time to worry about this.
But it wasn't until Li Yu returned from the Lu Nong Pavilion and reported: "Second Master Su said that the medicine he prescribed earlier was to induce sweating, and now it's just a matter of waiting for Miss Nie to break her fever. If the fever breaks, then there won't be any problem!"
Song Yixiao and Jiang Muxin both reached out to touch Nie Wuyan, discovering that although she had sweated a lot, her body temperature hadn't changed much. The relaxed mood they had just entered suddenly became tense again.
Ke Su said that they could only wait, and they were also helpless. They could only ask someone to bring new bedding to change into, so that Nie Wu Xing wouldn't have to suffer from the wet blanket. It wasn't until then that Bu Yue Xiao Zhu's people finally arrived, but with bad news: "Han Taiyi fell off his horse on the way here and broke one of his legs. He fainted and can't come!" The county princess said, "Now we can only ask for help from Su Er Gongzi of Lu Nong Ge!"
"It's a good thing we didn't wait for Dr. Han!" Song Yi smiled upon hearing this, exchanging a glance with Jiang Muqin, both of them thinking the same thought, "Otherwise, it would have delayed the treatment time!"
Bad news doesn't stop there, "The young lady was originally going to come over and visit in person, but unfortunately, the young master has made a fuss again, and it's extremely severe. Dr. Han is also busy with his own affairs, and the young lady really can't leave... We can only ask Mrs. Song to take extra care of things here!"
As for the princess and others, "They are all on the side of the county master's daughter, I heard that the Yao Hua Temple is a narrow place, afraid that after coming over, there will be many people making noise, which would not be good for the fifth young lady. So they won't come for now, let the younger ones deliver the message, saying that the fifth young lady has been entrusted to you!"
Song Yi Xiao suppressed her anger and casually sent him back to report to Qing Jiang Jun Zhu and the others. As soon as the door closed, her expression turned gloomy, and she looked at Jiang Mu Qian: "Do you believe in such a coincidence?"
Jiang Muxian pursed her lips: "It's possible that Zhuo Gongzi's outburst at the meeting was just a coincidence, but Han Taizhong's fall from his horse is indeed suspicious!"
"You don't know." Song Yi smiled coldly and said, "Last time when Cishi's sister fell ill, Wei's sister sent a familiar guard to find a doctor two streets away. That doctor was in such a hurry that he accidentally fell off his horse and fainted, which delayed him from arriving on time! This time, Han Taoyi also has the same reason for not being able to come, is this really just a coincidence?! This isn't suspicious, it's an obvious plot!"
"But the Princess of Jin has always been very fond of Miss Nie, and after what happened on the 15th of last month, everyone in the capital knows about it now." Jiang Muxiu couldn't believe that the Princess of Dai would be so ruthless as to sacrifice her own niece's life for the sake of framing Song Yixiao. "Even if the Princess of Dai has the heart to do such a thing, isn't she afraid that the Princess of Jin will find out the truth and turn against her?"
Song Yi smiled coldly and said, "No matter what, Fifth Sister came here because of me. She fell ill here, and if anything happens, I will definitely be the one to take the biggest responsibility - did you hear what that person just said? That good aunt trusted me with Fifth Sister without any reservations!!!!"
Jiang Muxun thought of the man's words, which clearly shifted the blame, and felt a chill in his heart. He muttered to himself: "Miss Nie didn't say a word yesterday at the pavilion! If she wanted to harm someone, how could she harm her?"
"Otherwise, apart from personally beating me up here, even if you're the empress dowager, what can you do to me?" Song Yi smiled with gritted teeth and said, "But if something happens to Fifth Sister while she's in my hands, what kind of ending do you think I'll have?!"
Jiang Muxun took a deep breath and said firmly, "This matter arose because of me. If the Princess of Jin wants to investigate later, no matter what consequences come, I'll take it with you!" She actually wanted to say that she would take all the responsibility herself, but she knew she didn't have the face to save Song Yixiao from her sister's hands, so at most she could just help share some of the burden.
"It's not necessarily impossible to cure the fifth sister, things haven't reached that point yet!" Song Yi smiled and shook her head, her eyes flashing for a moment before calming down. She said solemnly, "But since even Dr. Han was poisoned like this, I'm afraid they'll know there's still Su Er Gongzi who can bring people back to life...and then they'll directly target the fifth sister..."
After all, Su Shaoge is both civil and martial arts, not to mention that he has the protection of his cousin Zhao Wang, compared to Yao Hua Yuan, it's much harder to deal with Lu Nong Ge!
As long as something happens to Nian Wu Yan, no matter what happens, Song Yi Xiao will be held responsible!
"Jiang Muxin bit her lip: 'What do you want me to do?'"
"Take care of this for me!" Song Yi smiled and stared tightly into her eyes, "Now, I can only trust you, Sister Jiang!"
"So you......?"
"I'll go find Su Er Gongzi myself!" Song Yi's lips curled up in a cold smile, "Even if Fifth Sister can escape safely this time, looking at the state she's in now, it's unlikely she'll be able to return to the Imperial Capital within ten days or half a month! Are we just going to defend and fend off for that entire period of time?!"
She is not someone who would take a beating without fighting back!
But before counterattacking, she had to confirm Nie Wu Xian's condition, whether it was as easy as Su Shao Ge showed!
Just now Su Shaoge was there, Song Yixiao's heart was in a flurry and she didn't ask carefully, but thinking back now, there are clues that make her feel there is something mysterious - the impression Su Shaoge gave her was of an honest and upright gentleman.
So Song Yishang didn't think his concealment was out of malice, but he had already sent the maid to Louchong Pavilion twice, and he hadn't revealed a single word. If he sent someone again, it's unlikely that he would be able to ask anything, so it's better for him to go himself!
And during her absence, relying only on Yu'er to guard Nie Wu Xian was definitely not enough to defend against the schemes of the Crown Princess of Dai Guo.
Jiang Muxun understood her intention, and solemnly nodded: "From now on, until you return, I won't leave her side for half a step! Everything that gets close to Miss Nie, I will check again and again, even tasting it myself before giving it to her!"
"Be careful!" Song Yi smiled and stood up, without thanking her, only tightly grasping her hand, "They might also come for you—" His voice lowered, "If you think I'm despicable, just pretend I didn't say anything: if it's really unbearable, why not coax Princess Yushan over to block for you!"
Chiang Mu-chen smiled and said, "What's despicable about this? How could my cousin possibly not help me?"
"Also, those people have explicitly stated that they will not come in person. If I can't even handle a few servants, won't it be a loss of face for my aunt?! On the other hand, you should be extremely careful when entering and exiting. What if you get caught in the act and tarnish your relationship with Young Master Su...?"
"They can't slander me!" Song Yi smiled slightly and coldly: Because of various reasons, she had not consummated her marriage with Jian Yu Bai yet, and the arm guard was the best proof of her chastity. If the Crown Prince and others wanted to frame her for infidelity, she would turn the tables on them!
However, this inside information was not good to tell Jiang Muxian, so she reminded her again to take care of Nie Wuyan, then ordered Yuelan to bring a set of clean clothes for herself, went behind the screen to change, and also changed her hairstyle to be similar to Yuelan's. She put on Yuelan's cloak and said, "I'm going, you all be careful!"
It was cold and snowing again, the Jade Flower Temple was quiet and deserted, with no one outside. Song Yiliao didn't have to worry about anyone noticing her, so she walked out boldly.
It wasn't until she reached the entrance of Lounong Pavilion that her treatment changed - two guards at the door, both wrapped up like snowmen, looked at her as she approached and still blocked her way: "What business do you have here?"
"I am Yuelan, the maid of Lady Song." Song Yi smiled and lowered her head, letting the wind ruffles on her cloak cover her face as much as possible, and said in a soft voice, "At the behest of my mistress, I request an audience with Second Master Su!"
Those two guards still didn't let her pass, saying only: "Wait a moment!" One of them went in to report, while the other remained staring at her.
After a moment, the guard led out a young servant who looked at Song Yiliao and said: "The previous two times were both Lì Yù sister coming, now it's changed to another person, I don't know if Miss Niè's illness has relapsed?"
Song Yi Xiao heard his doubts and was afraid that her disguise would be exposed on the spot, so she quickly said: "May I see Su Er Gongzi again before we talk?"
The young man looked at her for a while, then said: "You come with me!"
On the way to take her to see Su Shaoge, that little servant seemed to say intentionally or unintentionally, "My young master knows too many things, previously in another courtyard, either no one knew about it, or people would ask for advice endlessly; originally thought that by moving to Zhuanchun Hall, we could have a quiet life, but it turns out it was just a foolish idea of our servants!"
Song Yixiao's face turned red and white with embarrassment: she had previously hinted at "quiet" to Yu Shan princess, but the result was that Yu Shan princess hadn't disturbed Su Shaoge much until now, but she... At least for today, Su Shaoge wouldn't be able to focus on reading books!
Think about it again, Su Shaoge's previous unknown courtyard was also exposed because she came up with the idea to knock on the door for help...
"Or, perhaps we shouldn't disturb him?" Song Yi smiled, the more she thought about it, the more guilty she felt towards Su Shaoge. Her footsteps gradually slowed down, and finally, she stopped: "Sorry, Second Master Su is so busy, we really shouldn't be disturbing you often! Please help us apologize..."
"Wait!" The young man also stopped in his tracks and stared with wide eyes, "You're not going, are you?"
Song Yi Xiao was slightly surprised: Didn't you just say that because you hoped I wouldn't go?
"I'm taking you to see the young master, it's because he already knows!" The little servant saw her thoughts and said in a bad tone, "The young master is waiting for you right now - as a result, you say you're not going, do you think the young master won't guess that it's because I complained to you a few times? When the time comes, you can just leave without a word, but I'll be the one who gets punished!"
"He angrily said, 'If you really care about my family's young master, then don't live around here! You always come to our doorstep for no reason, taking advantage of my family's young master being easy-going! Now that you've come, if you don't go, aren't you harming me?!'"
Song Yi Xiao was left speechless by his scolding, and after a long while, she sullenly said: "Th... shall we continue?"
That little fellow gave her a stern look - perhaps afraid that she would say "I'm still not going" again, but this time he didn't dare to say anything.
A moment later, Song Yishang was led into a warm pavilion.
The warm pavilion is simply and elegantly decorated, with a dragon-shaped brazier burning, making it as warm as spring. Su Shao Ge wears only a light blue shirt, with the rolled-up sleeves revealing a section of snow-white undergarment. She doesn't wear any hairpins, her long black hair tied loosely at the shoulder with a same-colored satin ribbon.
He was standing in front of the case painting, because he received a report, only a maid came, so when he heard the servant report that the person had been brought, he just nodded and said "look at the tea", and continued to dip the cinnabar, on the white silk, sketching out the red plum blossoms.
Song Yi Xiao is now at a distance from the book case, and can't see very clearly what he has drawn. Only those bright red plum blossoms are recognizable from afar.
From her perspective, the snow outside the crystal window was fluttering gently. In front of the elegant and simple desk, a man in casual attire stood with his shoulders wide and waist narrow, his posture as straight as a green pine on a steep cliff. His profile, focused intently, was exceptionally handsome. As he wrote with his brush, it seemed as if a cluster of living plum blossoms slowly bloomed from under his pen.
Song Yi couldn't help but hold her breath and concentrate, fearing that she would startle him.
After a while, Su Shaoge finished painting the last plum blossom and put down her brush. She walked to the water basin beside the desk, scooped up some water to wash her hands, took the handkerchief handed over by Xiaoshuai to wipe them dry, then turned around and asked: "But Miss Nie..."
The words were not finished, but he had already seen Song Yi Xiao lift his head after taking off his cloak, smiling apologetically at him. After a slight pause, he waved his hand and ordered the servant: "Go down first and watch the door!"
