After treating Lin Yitianâs wound, Gu Chengrui said to Qi Feng, âThe few of you have to discuss personal arrangements. No matter when, leave one person here to guard Uncle Lin.
âIf he has a fever, remember to come to the main courtyard to find me as soon as possible.â
âI understand, Master. Donât worry, and leave it to us.â
âDo you know what a fever is?â
âI know. Itâs when the head gets hot and gets dizzy.â
âAlright, Iâll hand him over to you all.â Gu Chengrui then carried his first aid kit back to the main courtyard.
Zhou Ying, who had just finished washing up, saw him coming in and asked, âRui, is Lin Yitian alright?â
âIâve saved his life, but heâll have to recuperate for a few days.
âIf he has a fever, weâll have to do an alcohol rub to cool him down. Iâll go to King Ruiâs Residence but return soon.â
Zhou Ying knew he was going to ask about the ginkgo leaf mark. She nodded and replied, âGo, donât worry about us. I know what to do.â
Gu Chengrui nodded and handed the first aid kit to her. He turned around and walked out without even entering the living room.
After she left, Niu Lirong came in with a cup of tea and asked, âMistress, do you want a cup of chrysanthemum and wolfberry tea?â
Zhou Ying nodded. She placed the first aid kit on the table and asked, âHas your father told you about what has happened in the capital recently?â
âHe mentioned two things.
âOne was that Miss Zhou Jiaqing of the Zhou Residence had married a medicinal herb merchant from another city.
âHowever, my father heard that she did not agree at first. After two days of arguing, she finally married him.
âThere was also another matter regarding King Kangâs Residence.
âIt was said that Consort Kang was pregnant, but she quickly miscarried. It was said that the secondary consort had spiked the consortâs chicken soup with some red flowers.
âHowever, the secondary consort kept saying that she had been accused and was now grounded in the courtyard by Majesty Kang.
âAs for the exact situation, Iâm not too clear either.â
âAnything else?â
âI havenât heard of anything else.â
âAlright, you may leave. Help me pass a message to your father. Tell him to be more alert and ask around about the situation outside.
âRemember, he must be inconspicuous. Donât let anyone find out we are asking around.â
âIs it because of what happened today?â
âNot entirely. In short, the capital has not been peaceful recently. We should be careful.â
âI understand.â Niu Lirong affirmed, bowed, and left.
On the other end, Gu Chengrui arrived at King Ruiâs Residence and went straight to find Butler Feng.
Uncle Feng was surprised when he saw him come in. He asked the servants to leave before personally pouring Gu Chengrui a cup of tea. He whispered, âItâs all thanks to Lord Guâs previous reminder. Otherwise, the consort would have been in danger.â
âUncle Feng, youâre too polite. Itâs good that sheâs fine.â When Gu Chengrui said this, he no longer beat around the bush. Instead, he spoke directly, âUncle Feng, I wonât beat around the bush with you. I came here today to ask you something.â
Butler Feng saw Gu Chengruiâs serious expression, so he sat down and asked worriedly, âWhat is it?â
âDo you know what kind of force a person with a ginkgo leaf on his left waist belongs to?â
âAre they after you?â Butler Feng narrowed his eyes.
âYes, I was ambushed on the way back to the capital today.
âIf we hadnât prepared in advance, Iâm afraid we wouldnât have been able to return.
âUnfortunately, Lin Yitian was still seriously injured.â
âHow is he now?â Butler Feng asked hurriedly.
âHeâs alright and still alive but seriously injured. Heâll need at least three months to recover..â
