Chapter 542: We must prepare for a rainy day
Caidie Caiyi broke free from the soldiers who were blocking her, stepped forward and carefully helped the unconscious Su Lingyue up.
"Yue'er!"
Seeing Su Lingyue falling to the ground, Jiang Fu hurriedly bowed to the queen and immediately left the city wall.
The queen looked at the person lying on the ground, clenched the bottle of medicine in her hand, and her eyes were slightly red.
"Give her the medicine!" The queen handed the medicine bottle to Eunuch He.
Eunuch He took the medicine bottle with a distressed look on his face, "My Lady, why are you doing this?"
The queen's eyes darkened. "For Yue'er and for myself, I must do this."
Caidie supported Su Lingyue, her whole body trembling.
Caiyi checked Su Lingyue's breath and finally felt relieved. "The young lady is still alive. Hurry and take her back to the mansion! I'll carry her on my back."
Before Caiyi could make a move, Jiang Fu strode over and squatted down, with his broad back facing Su Lingyue. "I'll do it!"
Caiyi is a woman, so naturally she is not as physically strong as Jiang Fu.
"Yes, sir."
Help arrived. Caiyi smiled with red eyes and helped Su Lingyue onto Jiang Fu's back.
"Wait!" Eunuch He came over quickly and handed over the medicine in his hand. "This is the best medicine for wounds in the palace. Give it to the princess quickly!"
Caiyi was like a cat with its fur standing on end. She separated Eunuch He and Su Lingyue and stared at Eunuch He warily: "Eunuch, our young lady is ill now and cannot take medicine. We cannot make the decision for her. Please forgive us. Our young lady urgently needs to see a doctor. I will take my leave."
Jiang Fu glanced at Eunuch He and had no intention of taking the medicine. He carried the unconscious Su Lingyue on his back and walked out of the crowd.
Eunuch He's raised hand froze there.
The queen stood on the city wall, watching Jiang Fu carrying Su Lingyue onto the carriage, and watching the carriage disappear around the corner.

After returning to the palace, Jiang Fu, led by Caiyi, carried Su Lingyue to the east wing of Furong Pavilion.
As soon as Caidie returned home, she went straight to Baicao Garden to invite Ling Ling.
As soon as Jiang Fu put Su Lingyue down, Caidie rushed over with the breathless Ling Ling.
Seeing Su Lingyue's back covered in blood, Ling Ling asked in surprise, "Didn't you go to seek justice? How did you get hurt like this?"
Caiyi was furious. "He failed to stretch it out, and even gave our young lady ten lashes. Ling'er, you should treat her quickly!"
She urged Ling Ling to sit down beside the bed and took Su Lingyue's pulse.
"How is Yue'er?" Jiang Fu asked.
Ling Ling put down her hands and gave them a comforting look. "Sister Yue has no internal injuries, just flesh wounds. She must have fainted from the pain."
Jiang Fu knew Ling Ling's medical skills, and he was very confident. "Thank you for taking care of me, Miss Ling."
After saying that, An Xin stepped out and let them treat Su Lingyue.
When they started to take off her clothes, they discovered that Su Lingyue's clothes were already stuck to the flesh on her back.
Now I can only cut open the clothes and apply medicine.
Tearing the cloth off the wound will definitely cause it to bleed again.
Ling Ling said to Cai Die and Cai Yi, "Go find a pair of scissors and some clean handkerchiefs."
The two did not dare to delay and went to get it immediately.
When the clothes and bloody flesh were peeled off and the blood flowed down in a stream, Caidie, who was helping at the side, couldn't help but sob.
"Every time I go to the palace, I get hurt. Anyway, I've already fallen out with the Empress, so I'll never let you enter the palace again!"
Caiyi was busy wiping the blood and had no time to feel sad.
She urged Caidie urgently, "If you want to feel sad, it's not too late to feel sad after applying the medicine to the young lady. Hurry and get a clean handkerchief!"
Caidie hurriedly handed over a clean handkerchief, then sniffled, stopped sobbing, and concentrated on helping the two of them.
After the three of them worked together, they finally removed the cloth from the wound and applied medicine to it.
"Sister Yue, you can't wear clothes or get wet until your wound scabs over."
"Okay, I've written it down."
After Ling Ling gave the instructions, she went back to Baicao Garden to boil medicine, leaving Caidie and Caiyi to take care of Su Lingyue.
The two sisters changed Su Lingyue into a clean top and underwear, lowered the gauze curtain, and then carefully asked someone to light the stove in the room.
Although it is a warm spring, it is still cold in the mornings and evenings.

It has been almost a whole day, and Xiao Yu has no signs of waking up. Although his pulse has improved, he is still weak and cannot be left alone for even a moment.
Doctor Lu and Yan Qing stayed by Xiao Yu's side all the time.
Yan Qing stared at Xiao Yu, who was lying on the bed with a pale face.
In the past, even if the prince was unconscious, he would wake up after a few hours after drinking the medicine.
But this time, Uncle Lu actually used that method to give the prince medicine, and the prince has not woken up until now.
Looking at the unconscious Xiao Yu, Yan Qing's robe draped over his knees became wrinkled.
The panic in his heart grew little by little as time passed.
"Uncle Lu, is the prince...going to die?"
Doctor Lu leaned his head against his chest and closed his eyes to rest, while thinking about whether there was a better way to treat Xiao Yu.
Hearing Yan Qing's words suddenly, Doctor Lu slowly opened his eyes and after a long while, he only said, "His condition is very bad."
Yan Qing's eyes turned even redder, and the corners of his mouth trembled. After a moment, he spoke solemnly, "I'll go search Prince Jing's Mansion again! Maybe I missed it last time. There must be some place I didn't look for."
Doctor Lu has been in the palace for seven years, and he knows everyone's abilities and shortcomings.
When it comes to geomancy, Yan Qing ranks second and no one ranks first.
And it concerns Xiao Yu.
The last time he went to Prince Jing's Mansion, he must have tried his best to look for it.
Doctor Lu comforted him in a gentle tone and analyzed the pros and cons with him.
"You've already been to Prince Jing's mansion, and since he's in this state right now, he needs someone to watch over him. Miss Yue isn't familiar with the big and small things going on outside. If something happens to you, who will take care of all these things?"
Ever since Yun Ting left Beijing, all matters, big or small, have fallen on Yan Qing's head. Now that Xiao Yu is in a coma, he must take over Xiao Yu's position, and there must be no accidents.
"I understand. I will find other ways to find my other half."
"Perhaps Prince Jing has taken his other half away. I must write a letter to Yun Ting to urge him to find her quickly."
After rambling on, Yan Qing stood up and told Doctor Lu, "Uncle Lu, I'll go write another letter. Please take good care of the prince."
But as soon as he came out of the bedroom, he saw Caidie holding a pile of blood-stained clothes and preparing to deal with them.
He recognized the clothes; they were what Su Lingyue had worn when she set out in the morning.
"What's wrong with the princess?" Yan Qing asked nervously.
Caidie's eyes were red as she told Yan Qing what had happened.
After hearing this, Yan Qing patted Caidie's head and smiled to comfort her, "Take good care of the princess. Don't worry, I'll be there to support you in this mansion."
It was not until this moment that Yan Qing truly felt the burden on his shoulders.
Caidie, with red eyes, took the bloody clothes to deal with it.

Passing by the Furong Pavilion Hall, Yan Qing happened to see Jiang Fu coming out from inside.
When Jiang Fu saw Yan Qing, he came forward and asked with concern: "Guard Yan, I know everything that happened in the palace. How is the prince now? Does he need any medicinal herbs?"
When he saw the blood-stained clothes in Su Lingyue's hand today, he guessed that Xiao Yu's condition must be serious.
In addition to being concerned about Xiao Yu's physical condition, he was also vaguely worried.
The new emperor will eventually ascend the throne. If anything happens to Xiao Yu, the situation in the court will definitely change.
If the prince ascends the throne, given Su Heng's vengeful character, he will definitely be even more unscrupulous in dealing with the royal palace.
Judging from the Queen's attitude, not only will everyone in the palace be retaliated against, but even Yue'er will be punished.
He must plan ahead.
