After treating Lin Yitian’s wound, Gu Chengrui said to Qi Feng, “The few of you have to discuss personal arrangements. No matter when, leave one person here to guard Uncle Lin.
“If he has a fever, remember to come to the main courtyard to find me as soon as possible.”
“I understand, Master. Don’t worry, and leave it to us.”
“Do you know what a fever is?”
“I know. It’s when the head gets hot and gets dizzy.”
“Alright, I’ll hand him over to you all.” 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, “Rui, is Lin Yitian alright?”
“I’ve saved his life, but he’ll have to recuperate for a few days.
“If he has a fever, we’ll have to do an alcohol rub to cool him down. I’ll go to King Rui’s Residence but return soon.”
Zhou Ying knew he was going to ask about the ginkgo leaf mark. She nodded and replied, “Go, don’t worry about us. I know what to do.”
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, “Mistress, do you want a cup of chrysanthemum and wolfberry tea?”
Zhou Ying nodded. She placed the first aid kit on the table and asked, “Has your father told you about what has happened in the capital recently?”
“He mentioned two things.
“One was that Miss Zhou Jiaqing of the Zhou Residence had married a medicinal herb merchant from another city.
“However, my father heard that she did not agree at first. After two days of arguing, she finally married him.
“There was also another matter regarding King Kang’s Residence.
“It was said that Consort Kang was pregnant, but she quickly miscarried. It was said that the secondary consort had spiked the consort’s chicken soup with some red flowers.
“However, the secondary consort kept saying that she had been accused and was now grounded in the courtyard by Majesty Kang.
“As for the exact situation, I’m not too clear either.”
“Anything else?”
“I haven’t heard of anything else.”
“Alright, you may leave. Help me pass a message to your father. Tell him to be more alert and ask around about the situation outside.
“Remember, he must be inconspicuous. Don’t let anyone find out we are asking around.”
“Is it because of what happened today?”
“Not entirely. In short, the capital has not been peaceful recently. We should be careful.”
“I understand.” Niu Lirong affirmed, bowed, and left.
On the other end, Gu Chengrui arrived at King Rui’s 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, “It’s all thanks to Lord Gu’s previous reminder. Otherwise, the consort would have been in danger.”
“Uncle Feng, you’re too polite. It’s good that she’s fine.” When Gu Chengrui said this, he no longer beat around the bush. Instead, he spoke directly, “Uncle Feng, I won’t beat around the bush with you. I came here today to ask you something.”
Butler Feng saw Gu Chengrui’s serious expression, so he sat down and asked worriedly, “What is it?”
“Do you know what kind of force a person with a ginkgo leaf on his left waist belongs to?”
“Are they after you?” Butler Feng narrowed his eyes.
“Yes, I was ambushed on the way back to the capital today.
“If we hadn’t prepared in advance, I’m afraid we wouldn’t have been able to return.
“Unfortunately, Lin Yitian was still seriously injured.”
“How is he now?” Butler Feng asked hurriedly.
“He’s alright and still alive but seriously injured. He’ll need at least three months to recover..”
