"...!"
Yu Wenqian’s breath sank.
For the first ti, a look of astonishnt appeared on his face, but it seed that this astonishnt was not at her words, rather—it was unexpected.
In a hoarse voice, he said, "You—what did you say?"
"..."
"You say you have foreknowledge?"
"Yes,"
Shang Ruyi calmly faced his flickering gaze, as if a pool of calm and waveless autumn water had been disturbed by sothing, the sparkling ripples almost reflecting his current state of mind in full view.
"I know he won’t die."
"Why?"
"Because I won’t let him die."
"...!"
Yu Wenqian’s breath sank again.
At this mont, a rapid and chaotic clatter of footsteps sounded from outside, as if a group of people were hurrying over. When they reached the door, both of them imdiately turned their heads to look outside. It was Dai Junliang who walked to the entrance: "Madam Shang."
Shang Ruyi asked, "What is it?"
Dai Junliang said, "A woman outside claims to be your maid, Madam, nad—She’er, saying she’s here to deliver dicine."
Upon hearing this, everyone in the room was stunned.
Yu Wenqian widened his eyes in disbelief, looking down at Shang Ruyi, and at this mont, Shang Ruyi also paid no mind to the others around her. Excitedly, she stood up imdiately, her eyes bright like soone who had been walking in darkness for a long ti finally seeing a ray of light: "Where is she?!"
Upon hearing these words, it was clear that what the people outside said was true. Dai Junliang said, "I had soone take her to the side hall, but the girl was very anxious and insisted on seeing you imdiately, so I ca to report right away. Since she is your person—"
"Bring her over quickly!"
"Yes."
At this point, Dai Junliang dared not delay and hurriedly turned around to instruct the people behind him. Those people hurriedly ran out, and in a short while, they brought back a familiar figure.
It was Tushere!
Covered in dust from travel, she tightly clutched a bundle in her hands, as if holding a priceless treasure, and upon seeing Shang Ruyi, she imdiately rushed forward: "Miss!"
"She’er!"
Seeing her, Shang Ruyi paid no attention to anything else and only asked, "The dicine?"
Upon hearing this, Tushere hurriedly handed over the bundle: "Here it is!"
Shang Ruyi imdiately took it, placed it on a nearby table, and began to unwrap it. While Tushere, in a fluster, helped her untie the bundle, she said, "After you left, I took Jiang Kesong and the others out of Tongguan—just as you had foreseen, there weren’t any of those herbs nearby. We almost reached the outskirts of Luoyang before finding a village where we could buy them."
"..."
"According to your instructions, Miss, I bought a large quantity and had them transported back to Daxing City. anwhile, I hurried over to Fufeng with a bag of dicine."
"..."
As she spoke, she seed to sense sothing as well and turned to look towards the inner chamber. Through a layer of semi-transparent screen, she imdiately saw Yu Wenye lying weak on the bed and her face turned white.
"Miss, I’m not too late, am I?"
At this mont, the bundle was also opened.
A strong dicinal fragrance imdiately wafted over, and upon closer inspection, it was indeed waidan, houpu, and cangzhu among other herbs!
Seeing these dicines, even Yu Wenqian, who was standing aside, was taken aback, looking at Shang Ruyi in disbelief.
At this mont, Shang Ruyi could no longer care about the surrounding gazes that were either joyful, astonished, or complex beyond words. She nodded continuously and said, "Not too late, just in ti. She’er, you’ve made a great contribution!"
"Really?"
Upon hearing the words "not too late", Tushere was relieved of the heavy stone that had just weighed down her heart, and she instantly showed a joyful smile. Shang Ruyi didn’t say much more but imdiately instructed, "Wo Xue, take these dicines to decoct. Three qian of cangzhu, three qian of waidan, two qian of houpu, along with one qian each of huangbai and baizhi, simr in three bowls of water until it becos one bowl, hurry!"
"Yes!"
Wo Xue, overjoyed, went forward to take the bundle and turned to leave.
Seeing her, Tushere beca anxious and instinctively tried to retrieve the bundle: "Miss!"
Wo Xue froze there for a mont.
Shang Ruyi understood what Tushere was worried about, sighed gently, and then said, "She’er, a lot has happened these days, and I’ll tell you in detail later. But there’s one thing you need to know, both the Great General’s and my life were saved by Wo Xue."
Wo Xue hurriedly said, "Young Madam, you praise too highly."
Upon hearing this, Tushere seed to understand so of it as well, her grip relaxed slightly, and Wo Xue imdiately regained the bundle, nodded to her, and then turned to leave.
