Chapter 161: The Reliant Pei Qingfeng (1/2)

“Mistress, this servant has carried out Mistress’ orders. You can be at ease.” After Cai Ling reported, she took a deep bow.

“If he wakes up and says that he is feeling uncomfortable, feed him the elixir in the white jade bottle. If he is feeling fine, ask him to rest. Pour a cup of water for him whenever possible. All medicines have a degree of toxicity. He has to drink enough water...” Bai Luochu had enough of her extremely filthy clothes. After she gave detailed instructions to Cai Ling, she immediately rushed towards her courtyard.

Just as Bai Luochu entered her room, she noticed that the water was steaming hot. She quickly took off her blood-stained clothes and tossed it to the side. She stepped into the tub and soaked her body into the hot water. Maybe it was because the temperature of the water was just right, or perhaps it was because Bai Luochu was extremely tired, she fell asleep in the tub of water.

Bai Luochu woke up when she felt a chill and she realized that the water had already turned cold. After looking around, it was already night time. She swiftly took a cloth and honey locust to scrub herself clean before emerging from the tub and changing into a fresh set of clothes.

In the secluded courtyard, Pei Qingfeng gradually awakened and his mind was still hazy. Due to the loss of blood and a nap that took up the entire afternoon, Pei Qingfeng felt that his throat was drying up. “Water… Hurry up and give me water.”

When Cai Ling heard Pei Qingfeng, she recalled the instructions given by Bai Luochu before she left. She immediately poured a cup of water from the teapot and delivered it to Pei Qingfeng’s mouth. The moment the cool liquid touched Pei Qingfeng’s lips, he sucked up everything in the cup. When he felt a little better, he turned to look at the person attending to him. It was as though he changed into a completely different person. He sat up and leaned against the headboard.

“Where is Divine Physician Bai? Why are you here? Go and get your Mistress! I do not wish to talk to unfamiliar people!” When Pei Qingfeng opened his eyes and noticed that the person beside him wasn’t Bai Luochu and was someone he didn’t recognize, he instantly turned hostile.

Cai Lin wasn’t angry when she heard what Pei Qingfeng said. However, she still offered a polite explanation. “Your Second Highness, please don’t be anxious. My Mistress provided you with treatment the moment she got back. She didn’t even get the time to change out of her dirty clothes. After making sure that you were asleep, she went back to take a bath. If she were to cause your condition to worsen by surrounding you with dried up blood, her efforts would be wasted.”

Pei Qingfeng was stumped by Cai Ling’s explanation. He wanted to say something, but realized that there was nothing wrong with her explanation. He sulked and waited for Bai Luochu to return.

“Creak.” The sound of the door opening echoed through the room and Cai Ling turned around. She noticed that Bai Luochu had arrived and she asked with concern, “Mistress, is everything okay?”

Bai Luochu noticed that Pei Qingfeng was already up and she rejoiced in her heart. It seemed like she was on time. Otherwise god knew what Pei Qingfeng would do to torment Cai Ling.
