After rebirth, she became the favorite of the powerful minister.

Yuan Ge was sick for three days.

On the first day, Feng Qingtan was more awake. He was pleased that all those years of precious resources hadn't been wasted, and that he was in better health than others. He had forgotten that all those precious resources had gone to Yuan Ge, but hadn't been there to nourish Wen Qian. On the second day, his condition was a bit worse, but still better than others. He just slept more, but his sleep was restless, and he half-heartedly called out for "Mother" in his dreams.

Feng Qingtan had a vague bad feeling.

Sure enough, on the third day, she didn't wake up, sleeping peacefully, her breathing so weak it was almost imperceptible. Feng Qingtan tried everything, but couldn't wake her. She vomited all the medicine he'd force-fed her... Fear washed over Feng Qingtan like a tide. He leaned against her bedside and slowly sank to the ground. Almost instantly, he realized the most terrifying thing about the lush fragrance: the lush fragrance caused hallucinations.

In front of the lush and fragrant scene, no one is more dangerous than Yuan Ge.

But it was too late. He saw with his own eyes how the little guy walked step by step to the gate of hell, and he even pushed him from behind.

Feng Qingtan squatted in front of Yuan Ge's bed with his head in his hands. He felt at a loss for the second time in his life... He sat there expressionless for a long while until Grandma Dou brought in the medicine. Seeing Feng Qingtan, who looked like he had lost his parents, he almost spilled the medicine he had just prepared.

The noise wasn't loud, but Feng Qingtan seemed to be awakened. He looked up at the pale-faced and trembling Granny Dou at the door with an almost bewildered expression. He half-raised himself, then suddenly fell back down. He explained with a wry smile, "My legs are numb from sitting for so long. Don't worry, she'll be fine... and I won't let anything happen to her either."

The last sentence was spoken in a low voice at the back of his throat, making it a little blurry in the ears. He mumbled to himself, looking quite distraught.

Grandma Dou had never seen Feng Qingtan like this before. This old man definitely didn't look like he was "all right"... She gripped the tray in her hand, her fingertips trembling. From the force, the tray hit her chest and ribs, causing pain. She opened her mouth, wanting to ask, but she didn't dare. She watched Feng Qingtan walk out slowly, his back hunched and his waist bent. As they passed each other, her eyes fell on his graying hair, and she felt that the old man seemed to have aged a lot overnight.

She watched Feng Qingtan walking outside like a wandering soul. She didn't know where the old man was going, but the uneasiness in her heart grew. After thinking it over again and again, she put down the medicine bowl and went to find Xu Chengjin.

The two finally found Feng Qingtan at the entrance of the medicine garden - Feng Qingtan seemed to have returned to normal.

He was holding a book without a cover. Seeing the two people coming in breathlessly, he was slightly stunned and said with a smile, "What's the matter? Why are you in such a hurry? Didn't I say it's okay... Let's go, let's go, do what we should do!" As he spoke, he put his arm around Xu Chengjin and walked out. His squinting eyes and smiling look was quite abnormal - the old man's temper was not so good. According to common sense, he should be nagging and scolding Xu Chengjin for not listening to his orders and running to the medicine garden without permission.

But he didn't say a word about it, and looked as good-tempered as Maitreya Buddha. It was so abnormal.

Xu Chengjin calmly glanced at the book in the old man's arms. It was old and coverless. Although he knew it must be an important book, he couldn't tell what it contained. He felt a little disappointed. As he sighed, his eyes inadvertently swept across the courtyard behind him. Suddenly, he was startled. Something seemed... not right. Before he could investigate further, Feng Qingtan pulled him away with a slightly forceful gesture and scolded him, "What are you looking at? Why are you so hesitant?"

My thoughts were interrupted.

Xu Chengjin frowned and followed closely. After a few steps, he asked tentatively, "Teacher, did you know that I took a book from your study a few days ago?"

The old man paused slightly, then waved his hand nonchalantly, "Just take it. Ever since that girl came back, the books in the study have been so messed up that I can't even find them myself... This girl is still so impatient after all these years."

The topic was lightly brushed aside. The old man lowered his eyebrows and smiled, his expression a bit reserved and feigned ease. How could he have hidden it from Xu Chengjin's eyes? Xu Chengjin stood still, looking at Feng Qingtan who turned around and called softly, "Teacher... you misunderstood her. She's only impulsive and reckless in front of you. You didn't see that when she was in Shengjing, she was like another you..."

"Hmph..." The old man said indifferently on the surface, but a smile was etched in his eyes. "That's great... You're still like this, you won't tolerate anyone saying a bad word about her."

"No. Teacher, what I mean is..." Xu Chengjin suppressed the corner of his mouth, "I want to say that the reason she dared to take this risky move is because she knew you were there... You shouldn't have lost your composure."

"Next, let me accompany you, okay?" He didn't know what Feng Qingtan was doing in the medicine garden, nor did he understand what made him feel uneasy at that quick glance just now. He only knew that Yuan Ge was more important to Feng Qingtan than his own life.

It is important enough to make Feng Qingtan take risks and make mistakes.

His implication was obvious, and Feng Qingtan naturally understood it, but he shook his head and refused, "What can you do? Just look after her and the medicine. Grandma Dou can do these things, and she is more careful and reliable than you!" After that, he loosened his grip on the other's hand, hunched over slightly and waved his hand, "No need, no need... Don't worry, I will give you a lively little Ge'er in two days." After that, he walked away with his hands behind his back.

The coverless book was rolled up in his palm, holding it tightly, so he couldn't see even a single word.

Xu Chengjin's heart tightened, and he took two steps forward, "Teacher..."

Before the words came out of his mouth, the other party stopped and looked back. His expressionless face was quite majestic, "Nan Yin!"

He called him seriously, lowering his voice and slowing down his speech. "Since you know what kind of poison this is, you should know what is most important right now. Don't follow me, and don't go to the medicine garden again. Otherwise, it won't be difficult for me to make you sleep for ten days or half a month with just one prescription!"

The old man left after saying these words. Xu Chengjin stood there for a long time... The old man clearly found the book he took away from the study.

Hiding things is really dishonest.

It can be seen that I am really unsure.

In this respect, the three of them, the master and the apprentices, are really similar. Didn't I dare to report this matter to Song Wenyuan?
