Reborn as the Regent's Beloved

Bi Shu could tell that the madam clearly didn't want to get involved in the eldest young lady's affairs, nor did she want the family physician to examine her; she simply wanted her to fend for herself.

The lady has always regarded the eldest daughter as a thorn in her side, and it is possible that she could take advantage of the Seventh Prince's influence to eliminate this long-standing threat.

Following Shen's words, Bi Shu echoed, "Yes, as long as Miss doesn't cause any trouble, it's fine."

"Oh oh oh-"

After an extraordinary night, the second day finally arrived. The rooster crowed, reminding everyone that it was time to get up and work.

Inside the elegant courtyard, Xiao Fengyi was not in her room, but lying on a sedan chair, which was casually placed in the garden.

It turned out that the servants who brought her, Xuanhua, and Zihua back last night left the sedan chair in the garden and then all left.

She woke up last night, so she knows everything.

Although Xiao Fengyi woke up, she was unable to move due to poisoning and could not cover herself or her two maids with blankets, so she was left outside all night.

However, when Xiao Fengyi woke up after fainting, she still saw the bedding on her body.

She guessed that it was most likely Ye Si or Ye Liu, one of the spies, who covered her with a blanket.

"Miss, how are you?"

At this moment, Xuanhua had already woken up. Strangely, she covered the still unconscious Zihua with the blankets she was wearing, and then, feeling dizzy, covered her cheeks and walked over to her young mistress to exchange pleasantries.

Xiao Fengyi opened her eyes, but because she couldn't speak, she could only shake her head at Xuan Hua to indicate that she was alright.

As she shook her head, some blood trickled from the corner of her mouth.

"Miss, I told you this method was too dangerous. Look, you're still bleeding." Xuan Hua took out a handkerchief with heartache and wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth.

Xiao Fengyi's stunningly beautiful face now showed some sorrow. She shook her head at Xuan Hua to indicate that she was alright.

But she fainted again while laughing, startling Xuan Hua who cried out, "Miss!"

The shout startled not only the birds on the branches, but also woke up the unconscious Zi Hua.

Zi Hua didn't know what had happened at first, but when she saw Xuan Hua with tears streaming down her face and Xiao Fengyi spitting blood, she immediately sat up from the sedan chair.

"Young Miss, what's wrong?" She pushed the blanket aside and walked quickly to the sedan chair where Xiao Fengyi was lying.

Xuan Hua took out a purple porcelain bottle from her sleeve, which contained the antidote that Xiao Fengyi had given her earlier.

"I'm giving this medicine to you. Give it to me after the Emperor leaves."

Upon hearing Xiao Fengyi's words, he became extremely anxious and hurriedly asked, "Miss, can you hold on until then?"

“I can,” the young woman said stubbornly.

Now that Xiao Fengyi has fainted, Xuan Hua is really scared and wants to find someone to discuss whether to listen to the young lady or take it upon herself to give the medicine to the young lady to save her life.

Xuan Hua thought to herself, thankfully she wasn't alone, thankfully she had Zi Hua by her side.

She rarely lost control of her emotions; at the crack of dawn, she looked at the people around her with tears streaming down her face.

"Zi Hua, what should I do? Should I still take the antidote for Bai Shuang Liu Lu?"

Zi Hua wrapped her hands around hers tightly, as if she were also making a difficult decision.

The young lady ingested a poison derived from white frost, but because it was not refined in the same furnace, it was definitely different from the antidote given by the guard Feng Mingjing. Even if she took the antidote, it might not completely neutralize the poison, and there was a possibility that something bad might happen.

Xiao Fengyi is currently in a state of emergency, which is truly terrifying.

The two maids didn't know anything about medicine, but they were afraid that their young mistress wouldn't wake up, so they thought they should give her the antidote they had and not wait for the emperor.

Zi Hua said to Xuan Hua, "The Emperor's visit to the Duke of Xiao's residence is only the Seventh Prince's side of the story. I don't know why the Emperor would come here. The Master and Young Master are out managing the floods and are not in the capital at all. What is the Emperor doing here?"

Xuan Hua also found this matter somewhat strange.

"What if... what if the Emperor doesn't come? We can't let Miss wait like this."

Upon hearing this, Zi Hua snatched the purple porcelain bottle from the other person's hand and said anxiously, "Oh, let's give the young lady her medicine."

After saying that, she poured the antidote that Bai Shuang had revealed into her hand, and after pouring it out, she glanced at her companion beside her and confirmed, "Then I'll give it to Miss."

Xuan Hua closed her eyes briefly and said firmly, "Eat."

Don't give it to her!

Just as the two women were about to feed Xiao Fengyi the medicine, a voice as loud as thunder and lightning interrupted them. The voice was like the golden sunlight behind him, giving him a feeling of enlightenment.

It took the two maids a long time to recognize the man coming from behind the light. He was none other than their young lady's fiancé, Feng Xingye, accompanied by a guard.

As they drew closer, Xuan Hua and Zi Hua not only saw the handsome, godlike face of Prince Zhao, but also recognized the identity of the guard beside him—Yue Qi, who always followed Feng Xingye.

"Why is Prince Zhao here? Who notified him?" Zi Hua muttered to herself, puzzled by Feng Xingye's arrival.

While she was puzzled, she put the antidote she had taken out into a purple porcelain bottle, just so as not to waste it.

Zi Hua's question reminded Xuan Hua of the man on the roof beam of Qi Xia Courtyard.

Was it him? Did he go to inform Feng Xingye? Then who is he?

Xuanhua couldn't figure out too many things. She always felt that the man was Miss's man, but Miss hadn't told her, so she had no way of knowing.

But let's not think about those issues for now and focus on getting the young lady to take her medicine.

Xuan Hua and Zi Hua stood up and bowed to Feng Xingye.

"Your Highness Prince Zhao."

"Get up." As Feng Xingye spoke, his gaze remained fixed on Xiao Fengyi beside him. Before long, he had already squatted down and knelt down next to the sedan chair.

Xuan Hua, Zi Hua, and Yue Qi could tell from his eyes and actions that Feng Xingye was very puzzled and couldn't understand why Xiao Fengyi would take poison in order not to frame her.

Seeing that his master remained silent, Yue Qi sighed and said, "I really didn't expect that Miss Xiao would be so strong-willed and would not yield to the Seventh Prince at all."

Feng Xingye's slender fingertips lingered on Xiao Fengyi's rosy lips, lost in thought, for he said nothing.

Xuan Hua and Zi Hua were both very worried about their young lady's safety. After thinking it over, they asked anxiously, "Your Highness, why won't you let us give the young lady the antidote?"

Feng Xingye sighed and stood up, saying slowly, "It's not time to take the antidote. If she does, her plans will all be in vain."

Both maids understood the reasoning, but they were afraid that their young mistress would risk her life.

Zi Hua, being rather impatient, sobbed, "But if she doesn't take her medicine, Miss will..."
