Chapter 1112: Retrieve that prescription (2/2)

The reason Gu Beiyue could take interest in Fourth Young Miss Ren and pass on his teachings to her was because of her good innate talent, but also due to her intelligent and meticulous mind. Although fear made her legs like jelly, she still stood firm. Judging from the current situation, Bai Yanqing definitely wouldn’t let her go. Their only chance at reinforcements laid in sending out a prescription. To make Bai Yanqing do that, she had to dispel his suspicions while exaggerating Han Yunxi’s current condition.

Bai Yanqing had been speculating whether Long Feiye knew about Han Yunxi’s pregnancy all along; hearing Fourth Young Miss Ren’s remarks convinced him that the man was clueless. However, he said nothing in return. Fourth Young Miss Ren hastened forward to take Han Yunxi’s pulse. Bai Yanqing stood by her side, making it impossible for Han Yunxi to signal the girl with more looks. She stared at the ceiling with despair while her heart was surging like the sea. Fourth Young Miss Ren was a girl who had caught Gu Beiyue’s attention, so she truly hoped Gu Beiyue hadn’t misjudged the lass. This woman needed to be quick-witted and nimble!

Fourth Young Miss Ren’s medical skills were much more powerful than Su Xiaoyu’s. She soon determined Han Yunxi’s situation. Although it really was a miscarriage of sorts, the condition wasn’t serious. If she guessed right, Han Yunxi’s massive blood loss was all a sham to make the miscarriage appear more serious.

In other words, Han Yunxi and the rest had tricked Bai Yanqing!

But why would Han Yunxi risk her baby to do that? And Bai Yanqing had even asked to get Su Xiaoyu’s prescription back. This made Fourth Young Miss Ren understand a lot of things. She released Han Yunxi’s hand and said urgently, “She needs medicine soon! The faster the better!”

“No matter what, Your Highness Princess, you have to hold on! The baby is innocent, you must persevere!”

Her reaction was similar to Su Xiaoyu’s, alleviating much of Bai Yanqing’s suspicions. Abruptly, Fourth Young Miss Ren fell on her knees and cried, “Old senior, I’m begging you to save the baby. It’s an innocent lie! The princess’s enmity with you is only the affair of adults and has nothing to do with a child who can’t even speak!”

“Someone come, bring brush and paper!” Bai Yanqing ordered as he personally helped Fourth Young Miss Ren to her feet. Like a hypocrite, he added, “Don’t worry. As long as you save this child, this old man will let you go.”

Fourth Young Miss Ren’s hands were shaking in her sleeves, but she persisted with a nod. “Hurry and bring over medicine, then I’ll preserve the baby for sure!”

When the guards came with the items, Fourth Young Miss Ren hastily scribbled down ingredients. Both Su Xiaoyu and Ning Jing could only stare, never expecting the doctor who’d been “scared to tears” could cooperate so well with their play. Han Yunxi was still staring at the ceiling as if none of this had anything to do with her. Still, her heart had finally settled in her chest. She didn’t know whether to thank Gu Beiyue or Fourth Young Miss Ren. Did this also count as protection from the Shadow Clan?

Once Fourth Young Miss Ren finished the prescription, Bai Yanqing took a glance at the contents and saw that it differed from Su Xiaoyu’s in only two to three ingredients.

“Someone come, make a copy of this and go get the ingredients!” Bai Yanqing ordered.

Now Han Yunxi almost wanted to laugh! She originally thought it’d be difficult to get the prescription out, or that Bai Yanqing would find the ingredients himself instead of sending it off to a pharmacy, but now she knew she was mistaken. Bai Yanqing was only concerned about the handwriting on the paper.

He really is detail-oriented!

But no matter what, as long as the prescription reached a pharmacy, they had hopes of spreading the news! Having Fourth Young Miss Ren here meant they would have more ways to think up new ideas. After her prescription was copied down, a guard was immediately sent off to retrieve the items.

“You must hurry! Quickly!” Fourth Young Miss Ren emphasized again before telling Bai Yanqing, “Old senior, I’ll use acupuncture on the princess for now as an emergency procedure. Even if the medicine doesn’t come in time, it’ll buy us a reprieve!”

Even Ning Jing and Su Xiaoyu were sold on her intent expression, to say nothing of Bai Yanqing. He agreed and Fourth Young Miss Ren added, “Find a servant girl, I need an assistant.”

Bai Yanqing had no female servants under him right now, so he hesitated before saying, “Ning Jing can stay, but escort Su Xiaoyu away!”

Although Su Xiaoyu was 10 years younger than Ning Jing, Bai Yanqing trusted her less. The girls’ temper was extremely similar to Bai Yuqiao’s, but her brain was much smarter.

Meanwhile, he naturally withdrew so the needle treatment could take place in privacy.

Once he and Su Xiaoyu left the room, she simply gave him a ghastly stare the entire time. She’d already vowed multiple times in her heart to “serve” Bai Yanqing well if he ever fell into her hands!

1. I think this must be an oversight from the author. I clearly recall Tang Li and Gu Qishao offering up the Tang Clan and Pill Fiend Valley to anyone who could get them news of Ning Jing or Mu Linger. Su Xiaoyu’s kidnapping might still be unknown, but not Ning Jing’s, at least...or did I miss something too?
