Lu Sangqi murmured, "This Elder Qi San is courting disaster by offending you, sister."
Ye Muyu did not react to his words. Instead, she furrowed her brows and said, "Quickly, check on Ah Heng."
"Alright, alright." Lu Sangqi became serious, first taking Chu Heng’s pulse and quickly letting go: "He’s been well taken care of; Chu Heng’s condition hasn’t worsened. However, he’s been in a a for a while, and if it continues, his body won’t be able to keep up."
"I’ve also finished checking the medicine sent by Master Yuanhe. It’s indeed very exquisite, but I’m missing a few medicinal herbs. I’ve already instructed the steward in charge of purchasing to prepare these herbs, but it’ll take some time." Lu Sangqi had to inform in advance.
He feared Ye Muyu might grow impatient and take some drastic action.
"What herbs are missing? I’ll send someone to find them." Ye Muyu immediately responded.
Lu Sangqi sighed, "Alright, I’ll write them down for you."
With that, he swiftly noted them down on the prescription.
"But after all, medicines have three parts poison..." Lu Sangqi hesitated for a moment, yet couldn’t hold back from mentioning it.
As expected, Ye Muyu suddenly looked up, her expression serious and firm, "Ah Heng will definitely wake up, so before that, I need to take good care of his body. You only need to do as I asked before: continue researching. As long as you can save his life, you can ask for anything."
"Sister, it’s not right for you to say that," Lu Sangqi frowned unhappily, but seeing Chu Heng lying on the bed, neither living nor dead, he also felt upset: "Don’t worry, I’ll definitely research that nutrient solution you mentioned."
Ye Muyu hummed in response, holding Chu Heng’s hand, gazing at him with deep affection that even startled Lu Sangqi a little.
"Shall we talk outside?" Lu Sangqi suggested.
"Alright." Ye Muyu gently covered Chu Heng with a quilt before turning and heading to the nearby hall.
She instructed Su Mei to serve tea.
After the servants had left, Lu Sangqi lowered his voice and asked, "Was it you who did the thing to Elder Qi San?"
"I don’t know." Ye Muyu’s answer pletely surprised Lu Sangqi.
He furrowed his brow, puzzled, "If it was, it was; if it wasn’t, it wasn’t. Why say you don’t know?"
"I employed some methods to connect with Elder Qi San’s enemies, but others also contacted them," Ye Muyu said.
"You don’t know who else did the same thing as you, do you?" Lu Sangqi’s guess was unavoidable, given Ye Muyu’s calm demeanor.
Besides, Lu Sangqi never underestimated Ye Muyu’s abilities; his own medical skills had improved because of her.
To Lu Sangqi, Ye Muyu was genuinely capable.
"I know a bit, but it’s not important. Didn’t Elder Qi San die?" Ye Muyu sneered.
"Sister, you can’t disregard your own safety for Chu Heng. If something happens to you, wouldn’t he be even more upset when he wakes?" Lu Sangqi hesitated, then altered his approach to persuasion.
Honestly, he wished he could scold Chu Heng awake; the guy was too careless, getting himself hurt and then staying atose for so long.
But because of this incident, Lu Sangqi understood even more that Ye Muyu truly liked Chu Heng and cared about her. Otherwise, she wouldn’t always protect him in matters concerning him.
"Don’t worry, nothing will happen to me before Ah Heng wakes up," Ye Muyu calmly stated.
Lu Sangqi became even more worried, furrowing his brow.
