Unexpectedly, Fen'er burst into tears with a "wow" sound. The stall owner packed the steamed buns and handed them over and said, "Please take your steamed buns."
Defu took it, and Qi Zi then asked: "Ferner, stop crying, why are you here? What happened? Where is Fang'er?"
Fen'er cried: "Fang'er is sick."
"What? Are you sick? Where are you? Take me to have a look." Qi Zi said anxiously.
After following Fen'er for a while, the setting sun went down.
When we arrived at a dilapidated house, the weeds in the yard covered the path. Before we entered, we heard a faint sound of coughing, and Qi Zi ran in after Fen'er.
Fang'er was lying on a pile of dry weeds, covered with a shabby quilt. Her face was haggard and pale, and she could tell she had been ill for a long time.
Fen'er helped her up, took out the steamed bun and put it to her mouth and said: "Fang'er, this is a white flour steamed bun. Eat it quickly. Your illness will be cured after eating it. Eat it quickly."
But Fang'er knocked the bun out of her hand and said, "Please don't hit me, please don't hit me."
Qi Zi cried and saw that Fang'er was unconscious at the moment. She stepped forward and took Fang'er's hand and shouted: "Fang'er, it's me, I'm here to see you, can you recognize me?"
?”
Fang'er opened her eyes and looked at Qi Zi and then fainted. Qi Zi shouted to Defu: "Go and call the doctor quickly."
"Oh, okay." Defu put down what he was holding and ran out.
Fen'er laid Fang'er down and covered her with a ragged quilt. Qi Zi asked: "Fen'er, what happened? Aren't you supposed to be in Xiao's house?"
Fen'er said with tears: "After the girl disappeared, Mr. Xiao searched everywhere, but of course he couldn't find it. Later, he thought we let the girl go, so he took it out on us. He asked people to beat us, and then
They kicked us out of the house again."
"It's so inhumane, Xiao Yunsheng, how could he do this to you?" Qi Zi said angrily.
Fen'er wiped her tears and continued: "We had nowhere to stay, so we had to live in this poor yard. At first we had some money, but it rained a few nights ago, and Fang'er fell ill, so Qian
I tried to treat her, but she still didn't feel better. She just said she was hungry, so I went to the street to ask for steamed buns."
Qi Zi was so sad that she didn't expect that she would indirectly harm them, "I'm sorry, Fen'er, it's all my fault that caused you to be like this."
There were footsteps in the yard, and Defu led the doctor back.
The doctor looked, smelled, asked, and cut, then said to Qi Zi: "The patient has a high fever and is very ill. I will prescribe some medicine to treat wind and cold first. If I can survive tonight, I will wake up tomorrow."
That’s good, otherwise I can’t do anything.”
Fen'er couldn't bear these words, so she hugged Fang'er and cried bitterly.
After sending the doctor away, Qi Zi said to Defu, "Can I take them back to Youyuan?"
"This..." Defu hesitated and said, "If it were at home, madam, you could make the decision, but now..., I'm afraid I have to ask the master."
Looking at Fen'er who was crying inconsolably, Qi Zi said: "If I insist on keeping her by my side, is there any way?"
Defu thought for a moment, smiled and pointed to the basket of vegetables on the ground and said, "Madam."
Looking at the basket of vegetables on the ground, Qi Zi smiled bitterly and said, "I never thought that one day, I would also try to please him."
She walked to Fen'er and said softly: "Fen'er, come with me. I promise that I will cure Fang'er's disease."
Fen'er pulled Qi Zi and said, "Really?"
Qi Zi nodded, Fen'er knelt on the ground, kowtowed and said: "Girl, if you can save Fang'er, Fen'er is willing to serve you for the rest of his life."
"Get up, don't delay any more."
Fen'er stood up with a smile, and Defu carried Fang'er on his back and said, "You are blessed."
After hurriedly returning to Youyuan, Qizi placed Fang'er in a wing of Luluo Garden, and then went to the kitchen to start her flattering meal. Fen'er cooked medicine for Fang'er, while Defu was doing the work.
It was past the late hour, Xuan Yi was a little hungry, and said to Lan Zihui angrily: "Go and see what Defu is doing? There are no rules."
"Yes." Just as Lan Zihui reached the door, Defu walked in carrying a tray.
Xuan Yi looked at the side dishes on the table, including stir-fried meat with lettuce, braised chicken, green steamed fish, small green vegetables, and a bowl of soup. The aroma was overflowing and made people want to eat. Xuan Yi was curious, what kind of restaurant is Yunxuan Tower?
Can you make such exquisite side dishes?
Defu put down a bowl of rice, smiled and said to Xuan Yi: "Your Majesty, please use it."
Xuan Yi sat down and said, "What's going on?"
Defu's eyes turned into slits as he smiled and said, "As for your Majesty, tonight's meal was cooked by your Majesty yourself."
Xuan Yi thought he heard wrongly, and his cold face became warm. He couldn't help but said happily: "She won't poison me."
"Your Majesty, don't worry. I have been helping my empress. Please rest assured, Your Majesty."
Xuan Yi smiled and nodded, looking at the dishes on the table and thinking: Even if there is huge poison on the plate, I will swallow it all.
Lan Zihui stood aside, his palms slowly sweating. He timidly asked Defu: "Eunuch De, will the noodles this afternoon be..."
Defu smiled and said: "That's right, my wife made it for the general."
Lan Zihui was startled because he met Xuan Yi's jealous eyes, and immediately bowed and said: "I deserve to die, Your Majesty, forgive me."
Defu said: "Please forgive me, Your Majesty. It was General Lan who gave me the idea of making dinner by myself."
Xuan Yi was no longer angry and asked: "Mother, why don't you come over for dinner?"
Defu said: "The empress said that she would not come to dine. She also said that she would come to see the Emperor after he finished his meal."
Although he was puzzled, Xuan Yi felt warm inside, and countless possibilities made him happy.
When Defu returned to the kitchen, Qi Zi couldn't wait to ask: "How is it? What did he say?"
"Don't worry, Madam, how could the Emperor not like what you cook?"
"That's great." Qi Zi said, "You go and have a meal quickly, I'll go see Fang'er."
"Your Majesty, don't you want to eat?"
"I don't have much appetite, go ahead, ah." He said and walked towards Fang'er's room.
Fen'er was giving medicine to Fang'er, but Fang'er couldn't drink it and vomited it out. Fen'er was so anxious that she didn't know what to do.
Qi Zi said: "She must swallow the medicine." She supported Fang'er, opened her mouth, raised her neck slightly, and let Fen'er drink the medicine, which made Fang'er cough.
Haishi has passed, and Qi Zi has forgotten his promise to find Xuan Yi. Xuan Yi was waiting anxiously in the study. He couldn't wait any longer. When he returned to the room, there was no one in the room. He was surprised and thought:
Could it be that she escaped again? She turned to Lan Zihui and said, "Go and find Defu."
"yes."
Lan Zihui left, and Xuan Yi sat beside the bed, angrily muttering to himself: I knew you wouldn't be so kind, it turned out you were trying to confuse me.
"Your Majesty, what are your orders?" Defu came in and didn't notice the change in Xuan Yi's expression.
He excused himself and said, "Where is your empress?"
Defu raised his head and looked into Xuan Yi's angry eyes and said, "Your Majesty is in the wing."
