Chapter 38 (2/2)

Wang Chuan hurried in and began to speak: “Young miss, quickly come take a look. Young master Rui is ill.”

“Ill?” Feng Yu Heng was surprised. He was fine before going to bed. He even played around in the yard with Huang Quan before going to bed. How could he suddenly fall ill?

Without time to get changed, she grabbed a shirt and pulled it on, as she followed Wang Chuan to Zi Rui’s room.

When they arrived, the little one’s face was a pale white. He lay on his side and vomited endlessly. Yao shi was to the side, anxious to the point of tears. Granny Sun continued to rub Zi Rui’s back, but there was no signs of improvement.

Seeing her arrive, Huang Quan spoke to Feng Yu Heng while holding the basin, “Young master Rui fell ill after going to bed. Originally, Wang Chuan and I were in the yard when granny Sun came out to call us. She said young master Rui was not sleeping well and brought us inside. At that time, young master began vomiting.”

Granny Sun added: “He had some diarrhea before going to bed.”

Feng Yu Heng nodded and sat next to the bed. She reached out for his wrist and soon let out a sigh of relief, “It’s fine.”

Yao shi saw Feng Yu Heng say it’s fine and relaxed a little. Then remembered to ask: “Then what illness is this?”

Feng Yu Heng smiled bitterly, “We have lived for a few years in the mountains and never touched oil. Yesterday night, everything was oily, and Zi Rui had never eaten anything like it from small to now. Suddenly eating it caused the intestines to react. This is normal.”

Yao shi was puzzled: “Then why do we not have any reactions? When we were in the mountains, we also did not consume any oil?”

Feng Yu Heng supported Zi Rui while explaining to Yao shi: “But we have eaten it before while we were in the Feng manor! When we left the capital, Zi Rui was only three years old. How could he have eaten it as often as we did?”

Yao shi finally understood, “Then do we need to call a doctor?”

Feng Yu Heng shook her hand, “There’s no need to cause a fuss tonight. If he’s still not well in the morning, calling one then will not be too late.”

Yao shi really trusted Feng Yu Heng. She truly believed that Feng Yu Heng had merely heard and seen a great deal when with her maternal grandfather, thus she being able to diagnose illnesses was normal.

“Granny Sun, help mother back to get some rest.” She first had to get people out, “Huang Quan continue your watch in the yard. Wang Chuan go boil some water.”

Although Yao shi did not want to leave, but looking at Feng Yu Heng’s firm gaze, she nodded and left with granny Sun. She knew that her daughter had grown up and would have many things that she would want to handle on her own. Since that was the case, she would help her daughter.

Seeing everyone leave, Feng Yu Heng lightly pressed on her wrist while Zi Rui wasn’t paying attention, as she sent her consciousness in to her pharmacy. She searched around and found some child-use antibiotic granules for treating intestinal problems.

Settling the child on the bed, she got up and walked over to the table. Pouring some granules in to a tea cup, she stored the bag back in the pharmacy.

Not long later, Wang Chuan brought back some boiled water. She poured the water in with the medicine and gave it to Zi Rui to drink after the temperature had dropped a little.

Wang Chuan watched the bowl of medicine and sniffled. She found that it did not have a bitter smell and found that it had a bit of a sweet fragrance. She really wanted to ask what sort of medicine it was and when the second young miss had come across it. But she recalled what Prince Yu had personally advised her: “Don’t investigate too deeply in to matters regarding Feng family’s second young miss. No matter what she does, just observing is enough. It is forbidden to ask too much. Even more so, it is forbidden to speak of the things she does to others.” Wang Chuan stowed away her curiosity and helped Feng Yu Heng guard Zi Rui.

The child drank the medicine and shortly thereafter stopped vomiting. He also no longer yelled for the latrine. Not long after, his breathing steadied, as he fell asleep.

Wang Chuan again secretly sighed over that magical medicine.

Feng Yu Heng saw that she did not ask, so she did not explain. After all, in the future, she would need to stick close to her own master. If curiosity required everything be explained crystal clear, she worried that she may drive her insane.

The matters of Willow courtyard kept them up the rest of the night. Early the next day, news that Zi Rui’s illness did not worsen made its way to Chen shi’s ears.

Feng Yu Heng saw Man Xi secretly shoot a gaze over. She already knew, as it was granny Sun who rose early to spread the word. She did not pursue the matter further. Chen shi had been angered yesterday, and that would eventually need to be vented out. It seemed that an opening had just appeared. She wanted to see what sort of method the other party would use.

When the court doctor arrived, Chen shi was with An shi, Han shi, and granny Zhao, who had been sent by the matriarch.

From the moment Chen shi entered Willow courtyard, her eyes never once left the chests of gifts. Her greed was very apparent. Even if she wanted to cover it up, it was impossible.

Huang Quan snorted lightly then welcomed them loudly: “Madam, please come inside.”

Chen shi was annoyed and waved her handkerchief before waddling her fat, round body in to Zi Rui’s room, but she symbolically looked forward then decided to hang back slightly.

Han shi had always followed Chen shi’s lead, so seeing that she had held back, she too also retreated to the outer room.

It would be An shi and granny Zhao would stayed toward the front and would occasionally ask the doctor a few questions.
