"Bring out your mistress. I hear she wasn't hurt at all, so why is she still unconscious"
"Fang Jinshi, when did you become a turtle hiding in its shell!"
"This king is not here to accuse you. If I wanted to hold you responsible for Xiao Xuan's death, do you think the Jinshui Mountain Villa would still be peaceful today"
Fu Shangyuan wasn't joking. The playful smirk he usually wore had vanished from his face, replaced by a look of seriousness. He seemed like a different person altogether. The bearing of a royal scion was indeed unlike that of ordinary people.
The servants of the villa didn't dare to step forward and stop him.
Fang Jinxiu walked out of the room with Zong Yu's support. As soon as she appeared, Fu Shangyuan's expression improved slightly.
"You're finally coming out"
I never wanted to hide.
Seeing that her face was indeed pale, Fu Shangyuan no longer cared about propriety and hid her for two days.
"Since you're willing to see me, then come with me."
Fang Jinxiu frowned, Zong Yu even directly blocked in front of her, coldly said.
"If you take her, I'll kill you."
The atmosphere between the two men instantly became tense, Fu Shangyuan let out a disdainful snort.
"Zongyu, you really think I would be afraid of you."
Fang Jinshu closed her eyes and roared with all her might.
"Alright!"
"Could you please tell me first what happened, Your Highness You want me to follow you, at least tell me what we're going to do."
She quietly pulled Ah Yu aside and gave him a light pat on the back, signaling for him to calm down.
Their family has always had a good relationship with the Jing Wangfu. Besides, Dong'er is still in the mansion. If they fell out with Jing Wang, this child would have a hard time being caught in the middle later on.
King Jing relaxed his brow, “Save him.”
"Bai Yu that kid is crazy, he killed several servants from the Duke's mansion."
Both the imperial physicians and the doctors in Beijing were helpless, they couldn't even diagnose what his illness was.
"Only Doctor Yao gave a vague conclusion, saying that it was caused by too much stimulation."
"I can't let Bai Yu keep going like this, he'll be killed."
"So, you must come with me to the Duke's mansion and save him."
Fu Shangyuan believed that Xiao Xuan's death was definitely still related to Fang Jinxiu, even if they didn't kill her, there must have been some connection.
When Fang Jinxiu heard that Bai Yu had gone insane, she agreed without hesitation.
"Okay, I'll go with you."
"I'll tidy up, and we'll head to the Duke's Mansion right away."
Zongyu grabbed Fang Jinshi's arm. "No."
"You've just woken up, you've been asleep for two days and haven't eaten a grain of rice. Your body can't stand this back and forth running around."
But Fang Jinxiu patted Zong Yu's hand and shook her head.
"I'm fine, I'll just have some water to replenish my energy in a bit, and I can also grab something to eat on the way."
"Aiyu, I must save Baiyu."
She always felt that Xiao Xuan's death had something to do with her. The killer jumped from the ground at the time, clearly intending to kill her, but then somehow it became Bai Xuan who was killed instead.
At that time, Bai Xuan still had the disguise on her face that resembled her, making it hard to say whether she wasn't a substitute who died in her place.
Thinking of this, the brocade in my heart felt even more guilty and uneasy. No matter what the truth was, I had to save Baiyu first. If Xiaoxuan was still alive, she definitely wouldn't want him to have an accident either.
"Okay, I'll go with you."
Zongyu saw the determination in her eyes. He knew Jinxiu, once she made a decision, it was set in stone, even she herself couldn't easily change it.
King Jing turned his body sideways and made a gesture of invitation, "Then let's go, time is of the essence. That boy has gone mad now and doesn't recognize anyone."
Fang Jinshi nodded, tidied up, and got into the carriage of Jing Wang's mansion.
Taking advantage of the downtime while she was packing, she guzzled down several mouthfuls of spiritual spring water. No matter how little appetite she had, she forced two snacks into her stomach on the carriage.
When the carriage arrived at the Duke's residence, she felt her strength had returned somewhat. Her feet felt firm on the ground, not like they were stepping on cotton. However, when she got off, she twisted her ankle because she hadn't stood steady and almost fell out of the carriage.
Thankfully, Zongyu was by her side and caught her in time.
Fu Shangyuan stood aside and frowned.
"You, really can"
Fang Jinxiu nodded. "Since I agreed to save Baiyu, I will do my best and won't shirk my responsibility."
King Jing looked at her pale face, and a sliver of guilt finally arose in his heart.
"Your Majesty is not unreasonable, but I'm afraid that with your current appearance, you won't be able to control that boy later."
Fang Jinshi walked past him with a blank expression, uttering a faint sentence.
"No."
From afar, they heard Bai Yu's roars echoing through the backyard of the Bai residence, like a wild beast.
Pain, confusion, struggle.
"Is this Bai Yu's roar"
Fu Shangyuan nodded, his expression becoming grave.
"This child, upon hearing the news of Xiaoxuan's death, became like this. His throat had been burned by smoke before and he hadn't even gotten treatment yet."
"Are you confident"
Doctor Yao's diagnosis was probably right. Bai Yu looked like he had been severely stimulated. He couldn't accept Xiao Xuan's death, and the turmoil in his heart came on too suddenly and violently.
Since the cause of the illness is known, there is nothing that cannot be cured.
She turned to look at the two men.
"I'll just go in myself. You guys wait outside."
Before Fu Shangyuan could even speak, Zong Yu raised his opposition.
"No, he's too dangerous right now. You can't go in there alone."
"It's fine, I'm confident."
Although Zongyu didn't speak again, his expression still clearly showed disapproval.
Fu Shangyuan nodded. Since he met Fang Jinshu, he had never seen her do anything without being sure of herself.
"It doesn't matter to me, just make sure you're brave enough to go in yourself."
"If you can't cure Bai Yu, you probably won't be able to leave this Duke's mansion easily."
The Duke's Mansion still suspected Bai Xuan's death, even though Bai Yu had said it wasn't her when she was briefly conscious. However, with Bai Yu now in this state, the people of the Duke's Mansion didn't take her word for it.
The Duke and the Crown Prince have arrived.
A crowd of people descended upon Bai Yu's courtyard. Both Grand Duke Bai and the Crown Prince's faces were grim, and they didn't look kindly upon Fang Jinxiu. Their suspicion towards her had never been dispelled.
"You are the Lady of Wuding Hou."
Fang Jinshi nodded and bowed to the two people.
"I have seen the Duke and the Prince."
At this time, Prince Jing suddenly stepped forward and spoke up for her.
"Uncle, let's put aside Xiaoxuan's death for now. There are still many suspicious points about this matter."
But Bai Yu's illness couldn't be delayed. As the legitimate son of the Duke's mansion, he was also his uncle's nephew; his uncle needed to think carefully about this.
Fang Jinshi hurriedly said, “Yes, young master Bai’s illness cannot be delayed for too long. If it drags on for too long, I'm afraid it will damage his mind.”
Bai Guogong stared at her for a long while. Fang Jinshi felt guilty, and the pressure in the other's eyes was immense. This Bai Guogong had also survived the power struggle between princes of the previous generation.
The Bai family's current status and glory are probably not just due to their connection with King Jing. This Marquis Bai is not an ordinary person either.
If he joins forces with Prince Jing to take her life, I fear even Ah Yu wouldn't be able to save her.
Fāng Jǐnxiù's back unconsciously broke out in a cold sweat.
"Alright, if you can cure Yu'er, I will not pursue the matter of Xiao Xuan's death."
"But if you can't cure her, even if someone dies in the Duke’s Mansion, Your Majesty wouldn't care about my Duke's Mansion either."
"Do you understand"and, "I was just talking casually, you're wearing so much in this hot weather, aren't you afraid of heatstroke""I'm so hot from working hard!"Zone Yu, however, refused to take it off."It's okay, I can...
