It was not surprising that Hua Yu did not get a response from Wei Tingyu.
The people around Wei Tingyu have racked their brains for their master, especially since Hua Yu had "made a mistake" before, so they naturally want to make up for it as much as possible. However, they are not sure whether they have done the right thing. After all, the master's heart and eyes at this moment really cannot tolerate anything else.
Fortunately, the lady was smart and capable, so no serious consequences were caused in the end, and the master was not hindered by those villains. You must know that according to the master's temperament, the safety of the lady must be the first priority. If the lady cannot protect herself, the master will probably agree to anything. You must know that the master is also working for the emperor. If he lets those people go, no matter what the reason is, he will definitely be blamed by the emperor, and all his efforts will be in vain.
As for servants, it is naturally impossible for them to choose their own mistress. However, it must be said that almost everyone around Wei Tingyu who knows about Xiaocao's existence is dissatisfied with her. People like them cannot live normally in the inner house, and they really cannot be interested in those delicate, sensitive, and thoughtful women who need to be carefully cared for.
The master has good vision, but unfortunately, the master is in poor health and will not live long. He hopes for the company of the lady, but does not want to tell her. They all believe that if the lady knew, the choice she made would not disappoint.
Having such a good mistress is like having nothing. Sometimes, they actually think that even if the "Madam"'s temperament is not so pleasing, as long as she can accompany the master for the last period of time, they are willing to flatter and coax her. But there is no such "if". The master only has such a person in his mind. Let alone letting others occupy the position of "Crown Prince's Wife", it is impossible for other women to get close to her.
Huayu's thoughts drifted a little far away.
"Hua Yu, what are you still doing here?"
Wei Tingyu suddenly spoke, and Hua Yu was frightened. "I will go and accept the punishment now." As she said that, she was about to step away.
Wei Tingyu finally raised his head slowly, "Where are you going?"
So, he didn't hear what Huayu said just now.
Hua Yu knew that something was very wrong with his master at the moment, but when he met those eyes that were so dark as if he had lost his soul, he couldn't help but tremble in his heart. He was afraid and distressed. He was not afraid because of fear, but because of the state of his master. He was afraid that he would do something out of control. His wife was in his arms, so why did things feel even worse
"Your servant, I'll wait outside. If the Madam wakes up, please call me." Hua Yu finally reacted at this moment. Even if she wanted to be punished, she had to wait until the Madam left. After all, she was the only maid with her, and it would be inconvenient for others.
Wei Tingyu retracted his gaze and locked onto Xiaocao again. He pulled the blanket covering them and wrapped Xiaocao tightly. This was another Zen room in the Zen temple. Wei Tingyu didn't think of taking Xiaocao to lie on the bed, and no one else reminded him. Even if he lay down, it wouldn't put that much burden on his body.
He fell completely quiet. The most intuitive feeling was the scalding body temperature of the person in his arms. Wei Tingyu was in poor health and had a low body temperature, especially in winter. Even if his bed was piled with hot water bottles at night, it was not easy for him to warm up. If his body was not warm, it would be difficult for him to fall asleep. If he did not sleep well, his energy and spirit would be poor, and naturally he would feel worse.
Xiaocao is different. She is in very good health and has abundant energy and blood. To Wei Tingyu, she is like a stove.
Time passed silently, and the grass suddenly moved in Wei Tingyu's arms. Wei Tingyu seemed to be awakened. The strange, soul-disoriented look disappeared, and he finally had a little human breath. "Flower language..."
Huayu was waiting outside, she was extremely alert and didn't dare to be distracted at all. When she heard her master's call, she went in immediately, "Master." Wei Tingyu just glanced at the bed next to him, and Huayu immediately understood. She went forward to pick up the lady, but she couldn't do it. Huayu took a breath. It was because she was not strong enough, and it was definitely not because the master would not let go. Absolutely not!
Xiaocao might wake up at any time, so Wei Tingyu finally let go of her hand. The moment the person left his arms, his heart seemed to feel empty, but if you really think about it, it seemed that he had never felt full before.
Huayu put the person on the bed. After a while, Xiaocao gradually woke up, still a little confused. Suddenly he thought of something and sat up suddenly, "How long have I slept?" He was really worried about being told that he had been sleeping for several days.
"Don't worry, girl. It won't be long. It's still a while before dawn." Hua Yu comforted her softly. "We have also made arrangements for your mother. They may sleep more deeply and a little longer, but it won't harm their bodies."
Xiao Cao paused for a moment, then her eyes fell on Prince Wei, who was sitting in a wooden wheelchair, with the mask still on his face. "Thank you very much. My mother will definitely be worried if she finds out."
Perhaps noticing her gaze, Wei Tingyu raised his head slightly and said, "I'm sorry. Because of our mistake, we have caused trouble to you and put you in danger. And thank you for what happened before. If you hadn't helped, it wouldn't have been so easy to resolve."
Prince Wei acted as if he was doing business, but Xiaocao didn't respond. When Wei Tingyu was frightened by her gaze, Xiaocao abruptly withdrew her gaze and said, "It's okay. It's not your fault. I didn't do anything. I was trying to save myself."
Xiaocao touched his neck and found it was wrapped. Even so, Xiaocao sniffed his fingers inconspicuously. The smell was very light, but...
Xiao Cao's eyes dimmed, and she quickly untied the white cloth, "Do you have a mirror? And my box."
"Yes, the box is also packed. Please wait a moment, young lady. I will get it right away." Hua Yu responded and went out immediately.
Xiaocao's eyes wandered for a moment, and he reached out to touch the wound, and shuddered slightly because of the pain.
"Does the wound hurt?" Wei Tingyu asked hurriedly.
Xiao Cao glanced at him and lowered her eyes slightly, "Fortunately, the medicine you used is effective."
Wei Tingyu didn't show it on his face, but he was shocked in his heart. The medicine was developed by Xuan'er, who was very sensitive to all kinds of medicines. Even if some medicines were finished products, she could basically know the usage of the medicine just by smelling it. Although Wei Tingyu added a "waste medicine" that would not affect the effect when he took out the prescription, he was not sure if he could hide it from her.
However, since there is a good medicine for wounds, Wei Tingyu would not use the inferior one on Xiaocao.
The atmosphere in the Zen room became a little subtle, and Huayu hurried back, breaking everything.
Xiao Cao held the palm-sized hand mirror and smiled, "You really love beauty. You always carry such a beautiful mirror with you."
Hua Yu laughed dryly. She couldn't say that she had someone go back and fetch this mirror specifically for Madam. "Well, I don't have any other hobbies. I just like to play with these things."
"Really? There's nothing wrong with it." Xiaocao's eyes swept across Huayu's neck and hands.
Xiaocao needs to have the wound on his neck treated again.
"Miss, if you need anything, I can help you." Hua Yu said attentively.
"Then thank you for your help." Xiaocao said, and asked Huayu to help hold the mirror first, and asked her to help pass other things from time to time, and occasionally said a few words to Huayu.
When Wei Tingyu was normal, he had an online IQ and a sharp mind. Looking at Huayu who was full of enthusiasm, he had an urge to cover his eyes. He really wanted to tell her that he was too attentive. Under normal circumstances, he would ignore his master who was not good at walking and be busy for someone he had just met. Haha... Your wife has already suspected something and is trying to trick you.
But Wei Tingyu couldn't remind him yet, because doing anything at this time might reveal a flaw.
Wei Tingyu knew that although Xuan'er seemed a little careless and didn't seem to notice many things on a daily basis, that was because those things couldn't attract her attention. She didn't care because she didn't care. However, once she took something to heart, no matter how trivial it was, she would notice it. This was most obvious when she treated patients.
Now Xuan'er has doubts, and she has taken the matter to heart. Wei Tingyu is well aware of her intelligence. When she really makes up her mind and thinks about what to do, I'm afraid...
Wei Tingyu leaned back, put her hand on her cheek and touched the mask. Yes, this was also a flaw. She knew that she was the eldest son of the Pingyang Marquis's Mansion, but she refused to show her true face. Why
You wouldn't know unless you looked into it carefully. After looking into it carefully, Wei Tingyu had the illusion that his identity might be exposed by his daughter Xuan'er at any time.
After Xiaocao finished treating the wound, it was almost unnoticeable. Xiaocao wanted to put on a layer of powder, but Wei Tingyu refused. Even if doing so would deepen Xiaocao's suspicion, he couldn't bear to see her taking her body lightly, even if it was just a little bit of damage, he wouldn't allow it.
Xiao Cao didn't insist and just pulled up her collar to barely cover it.
Xiaocao took out a small porcelain bottle from the medicine box, poured out a pill and swallowed it, then took out another pill and swallowed it.
"Girl, what medicine are you taking?" Huayu asked curiously.
"One helps wounds heal. The other..." Xiaocao paused, "is a medicine that can make people look like they have caught a cold, but it's just some unorthodox method." In order to cover up the matter perfectly, Xiaocao thought it would be better to "hide" for two days. Although her mother would be worried if she suddenly fell ill, by comparison, she should not know what happened before. Xiaocao was also glad that she did not alarm them when she came out before.
Wei Tingyu turned his head to look outside. Sometimes, Xuan'er was really very considerate.
Because he was born prematurely, his health has not been good. During the years that Xuan'er accompanied him, she put all her efforts into taking care of him. She was afraid that he would take too many bitter medicines and even lose his appetite, so she prepared all kinds of food for him, making medicated meals, adding it to snacks, and making pills of various flavors. Sometimes he would pretend to be tired of the food and refuse to eat, and she would coax him in various ways, making him feel that he was the treasure in her hands.
It is so beautiful, so beautiful that every time I think of it, I feel a suffocating feeling as if my heart is being gripped.
"Prince Wei..."
Wei Tingyu turned around and said, "What's the matter? Are you going back home, girl? I'll ask a few more people to take you back."
Wei Tingyu's voice was not only a little hoarse, but also a little nasal, as if... he was crying
"Thank you for your help, Prince Wei. I just want to ask you one thing."
"Whatever it is, just ask." As long as she didn't ask if he was Xue Tingyu, he could tell her anything.
"On the day when my family held a banquet to introduce relatives and friends to me, did Prince Wei put something else in the gift?" Xiaocao actually hadn't planned to ask, otherwise she would have asked when she left before, but the situation is a little different now.
Wei Tingyu was silent, and suddenly thought of a way that might dispel Xiaocao's doubts, "That's what he left for you."
Xiao Cao's eyes moved slightly, "So, Prince Wei actually knew me a long time ago? At least he knew I existed?"
"That's fine, if you put it that way."
Xiao Cao smiled, but her eyes were indifferent. "I didn't know that he had contacted someone behind my back. But it doesn't seem strange. If you think about it carefully, he has hidden a lot of things from me, such as his family background and his origin..."
Wei Tingyu felt a chill down his spine when he heard this.
"But, in fact, it's not his fault. After all, he has always been full of doubts. It's just that I never asked him. It's my fault for not caring enough about him. ..."
Wei Tingyu really wanted to object, but he couldn't open his mouth at all at the moment.
"He could entrust such an important thing to you, Prince Wei. He must have a good relationship with Prince Wei. Why has Prince Wei never visited him? Of course, this could also be his fault. Now that he is gone, can Prince Wei tell me about his family background? There is a wealthy family with the surname Xue in the imperial city. It seems to be Prince Wei's grandmother's family. However, there doesn't seem to be anyone in their family with a similar situation to him. Prince Wei, however, your situation is a bit similar to his. Maybe he is not a member of the Xue family. His surname is not Xue at all?"
Xiaocao spoke slowly and calmly as usual, however, Wei Tingyu's back was almost wet with sweat, and he couldn't show any clues on his face.
Wei Tingyu wanted to go back to what happened just now and slap himself twice for making up excuses. Why didn't he just deny it? Even if Xuan'er had some suspicions, it was just suspicion. If she was sure, according to her temper, she wouldn't say so much and would just "take action". At most, he could avoid her in the future and stop contacting her. What if she suspected him
Why didn't I think about it more? Why was I so stupid when facing Xuan'er? I knew how smart Xuan'er was, so why did I take it lightly? If I had been like this at other times, I would have died many times. What can I do now? Naturally, I will find excuses and continue to make up stories.
