The Cold-Blooded Prince's Seductive Consort
Shui Lian Yue got out of bed and started moving around after three days, and the amazing effect of Yu Xue Feng San Gao was fully displayed. The wound scabbed over in just three days, and after applying it for a few more days, even the scar was gone.
What a pity for this precious bottle of ointment, after applying it for three days, half the bottle is gone.
The fourth lady still knew, Shui Yunheng blamed Shui Liuyue for the matter, but unexpectedly, she didn't have much emotion. In other people's eyes, perhaps she had already lost hope in Shui Yunheng.
During these days of recuperation, the surroundings were much quieter. The big madam did not send anyone to trouble Shui Lianyue, but instead ordered people to frequently deliver nourishing food and even exempted her from paying respects, which made Shui Lianyue recover more smoothly. Even Fourth Madam's illness gradually improved.
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye, and Mrs. Shui did as Shui Yunheng instructed, inviting teachers to teach Shui Lianyue etiquette, women's morality, and women's virtues, and also invited the Shui family's embroidery maid to teach her needlework.
It's just that Shui Ling Yue's heart wasn't in it, and the teacher didn't teach with his heart either, so for this half month, it can be considered as peaceful.
Summer is approaching, the big trees in Lanxiang Pavilion are becoming more and more prosperous, many birds come here to build their nests, Shuiyueji and others have cleaned up the side house, although it's simple, but also peaceful.
In the center of the courtyard, there is a small pond with three or five goldfish inside. They were bought by Hongying on purpose from the market outside the city gate. Next to the house, a qiong flower tree was also planted, which is Waterlily's favorite. However, it is still a young sapling and needs to wait for a long time before it blooms.
The fourth wife's illness has also recovered, and her complexion is ruddy, no longer as pale and haggard as before.
She doesn't resemble the first wife's majestic appearance, nor does she have the second wife's elegant and refined demeanor. She also doesn't possess the third wife's charming and alluring beauty. Instead, she has a unique air of simplicity and elegance, with a delicate complexion and a face as smooth as jade. Not even a hint of aging can be seen on her, and when she occasionally speaks, there is still a touch of shyness in her voice.
Shui Lian Yue often thought, what man wouldn't love such a gentle and soft woman? It's really unknown how Father could think that way, actually neglecting such a pitiful woman for many years.
In the past two days, Shui Lian Yue and Hong Ying Mei have always had a worried look on their faces, because in another two days it will be the night of the full moon, when Shui Lian Yue's illness will break out.
All these years on Baihui Mountain, I have been taking the special elixir made by my master. After taking it, I can temporarily suppress the cold yin energy and avoid the pain of being invaded by the poisonous water moon chill. If I didn't have that elixir, once my willpower is not strong enough, I would be frozen to death.
This time down the mountain, the remaining elixir is only enough to sustain a month of full moon nights. Until Master creates more elixirs, there will still be a long time.
But now, this only Dan medicine can't be found, and even the small cloth bag that holds the Dan medicine is lost.
"Miss, think carefully, won't you end up at Qingzhu Jiu Lou in Lang County?" Hong Ying's face was full of anxiety, her delicate little face scrunched up.
Shui Lian's eyes wandered to the moonlit edge as she shook her head, her exceptionally beautiful face unusually gloomy. "Absolutely impossible, that cloth bag has always been on me."
"What, how can it be lost?" At this time, Hong Ying was like a hemp cloth on a hot pot, constantly turning around, if there wasn't that Dan medicine to suppress the cold air, Miss would probably...
She didn't dare think about it anymore.
"There is one possibility," Shui Lianyue thought for a moment, Feng Zhuang's eyes flashed with a hint of chilliness as she looked at Hong Ying and asked: "Do you still remember when we first arrived in Kyoto?"
Hong Ying nodded and looked at Shui Lian Yue, saying "Remember, remember".
"There is only one person who can get close to me."
"Miss said is that Dong Tu Lang Zi?" Hong Ying thought back, and was actually a face of astonishment, "Can..."
"No need to say anything more, it must be him," Shui Lianyue interrupted Hong Ying before she could finish speaking, a fierce glint flashing in her eyes. "After returning to the manor, I didn't pay attention to that cloth bag again. You also know that I never carry anything valuable on me, and unless someone has exceptionally high martial arts skills, they wouldn't be able to get close to my body. Let alone those women of Madame's, it's impossible for them to steal an ordinary cloth bag."
"Since Miss has spoken out, Hong Ying will go to the Chu Mansion tonight and bring her back", Hong Ying's delicate face was unusually stern at this moment.
Shui Lian Yue shook her head and said softly, "No, I'll go with you. You didn't see the situation that day, did you? That person's skills are above yours, maybe even mine, so I won't be at ease if you go alone."
"Even if Miss goes ahead, she can't use her internal force casually, otherwise..."
Shui Lian Yue suddenly raised her arm, interrupting Hong Ying, "No need to say more, I know. I'll go with you, it's settled."
Hong Ying still wanted to say something, but since the young lady had made up her mind, it was impossible to change it abruptly. However, she would fight to the death to protect the young lady and absolutely not let her suffer even a slight harm.
