Reborn as the Regent's Beloved

His eyes were full of distrust and suspicion, which Xiao Fengyi could sense. After all, what he said were things that would happen later, so it was understandable that he didn't believe him.

Xiao Fengyi calmed down and said, "Your Highness, I heard this from the Seventh Prince when I was in the middle of summer. The Seventh Prince's subordinates were worried that this matter would be exposed and discovered by the Emperor, so they asked the Seventh Prince what to do. The Seventh Prince said that at worst, they could frame the Eighth Prince."

She stammered as she looked at the man in front of her, "I think the 'Eighth Prince' he's talking about must be His Highness the Eighth Prince, Feng Mingyu. I have some connection with His Highness the Eighth Prince, and he told me that the brothers used to call him 'Eighth Prince'."

There's truth in this statement, but the part about Feng Mingyu is true; he really did say that he was called the Eighth Prince within the royal family.

Feng Xingye kept looking into Xiao Fengyi's eyes, trying to see if she was lying.

Xiao Fengyi's behavior didn't seem fake, yet the man had a strange feeling about it.

That's it!

He didn't pursue the matter further. "Okay, I understand. I will also try to stop him from framing Feng Mingyu."

After saying that, Feng Xingye left Qingya Courtyard, and Xiao Fengyi, who was originally calm, was so frightened that she collapsed to the ground.

Just then, Zi Hua and Xuan Hua, who had come to help her get up, finally came in and helped her up.

Zi Hua asked anxiously, "Miss, what's wrong?"

Xuan Hua helped her tidy up her clothes without asking any questions, because she felt that Xiao Fengyi seemed to be feeling unwell.

She said to Zi Hua, "Let's help Miss to bed."

The latter nodded and did as instructed. After helping Xiao Fengyi to the bed, he unbuttoned her clothes and covered her with a blanket.

Zi Hua touched her forehead. "Miss, your forehead is so cold. Did you catch a chill?"

Catching a cold?

Upon hearing this, Xuan Hua suddenly thought of a possibility, "Miss, did you sleep in the study all night?"

Xiao Fengyi blinked to indicate her confirmation.

Upon seeing her admit it, Xuan Hua immediately blamed herself, saying, "Oh dear, I shouldn't have gone back first yesterday."

"Miss, how can you not take care of your health? How can you sleep in the study all night?" she asked, holding Xiao Fengyi's hand.

Xiao Fengyi had recovered by then. "It's alright, I'm much better now." Actually, she was lying, because she hadn't covered herself with a blanket all night. Ye Si only covered her with a cloak after he came back, and even then, it was only for a short while.

"I still need to pay my respects to my grandmother. Xuanhua and Zihua, you two help me with my makeup." She had been looking at the ceiling above the bed, but after speaking, she sat up.

When I stood up, I was still swaying because I couldn't stand steadily.

Zi Hua looked at her young mistress with concern: "Miss, perhaps you shouldn't go. Let's go tell the old lady that you haven't recovered from the poisoning last time?"

Xiao Fengyi refused, saying, "How could I let my grandmother worry?"

Zi Hua and Xuan Hua knew that further persuasion was useless, so they could only help their young lady with her grooming.

After washing up, they went to Changyi Courtyard. At this time, the old lady had just gotten up and it was not yet time to take her medicine, but Xuanhua had already gone to help brew the medicine at Xiao Fengyi's instruction.

Xiao Fengyi went into the room to help the old lady wash up.

When the old lady saw Xiao Fengyi, she told her to sit down and not move. "Fengyi, sit down. You've just recovered from a serious illness, so you don't need to serve me. Otherwise, I'll get angry."

Seeing that the old man was really angry, Xiao Fengyi readily sat down in the chair and let Zihua come forward to help.

Although Zi Hua was a bit straightforward, she was very quick and efficient, which the old lady appreciated.

After the old lady finished dressing, she walked to the mirror and asked Xiao Fengyi, "Have you taken your medicine on time?"

Xiao Fengyi nodded, "I took the pills before I left."

After taking Xia Huichun's antidote, she consulted the "Ling Su Yao Shu" and found that the antidote could be made into small pills to carry with her. So she brewed a few bottles herself and kept them on her person.

Just now, when Xuan Hua left Qingya Courtyard, she asked Xiao Fengyi of Wei Kingdom, "Miss, don't you need to take your medicine yourself?"

Zi Hua then told Xuan Hua, "You haven't been serving Miss for many days, so you don't know that Miss has already made the small pills."

When the old lady was combing her hair, Xiao Fengyi couldn't help but step forward to help her, and styled her hair into a "fallen horse bun," which made her look particularly dignified.

Looking at herself in the mirror with satisfaction, the old lady smiled and said, "Our Fengyi has such skillful hands."

At this moment, Xuanhua, along with several nannies, handed the prepared medicine to the old lady.

The medicine had been cooled with ice, and the temperature was just right so it could be drunk immediately. The old lady wasn't afraid of the bitterness and drank it all in one gulp, which Xiao Fengyi greatly admired.

"Grandmother is indeed someone who has experienced battles and is not afraid of such suffering."

The old lady was a little embarrassed by what she said. "You silly girl, you have a sharp tongue. You'd better be careful when you get to Prince Zhao's residence."

When the Zhao Prince's Mansion was mentioned, Xiao Fengyi recalled Feng Xingye's probing gaze and felt a chill run down her spine, but she didn't say anything to her grandmother, only saying, "I understand."

At this moment, the nanny came and asked, "Madam, are you having breakfast alone or with the eldest young lady?"

"Of course we'll go together." The old lady looked at Xiao Fengyi and smiled, "You probably haven't had breakfast yet, have you?"

Xiao Fengyi nodded, "Yes, I miss your osmanthus and jujube cake."

She had been recuperating at Changyi Hospital for a period of time, so she was very familiar with the place and also liked the food there.

While Xiao Fengyi and the old lady were chatting and laughing at the dining table, someone came to report, "Old Madam, the Second Miss has a persistent high fever."

This made the old lady feel somewhat disappointed. Her smile gradually disappeared, and after spitting out the sour jujube in her mouth, she slowly said, "She has a persistent high fever. What is she saying to me? Go find the family physician quickly. I can't cure her illness."

The old lady was bedridden for a month because of that girl Xiao Qingyin, but she was spared death because of blood ties.

This time, I didn't hold back when I hit her, because this girl is too wicked; she was unmoved when she heard about her injury.

The old woman glanced at Xiao Fengyi and said, "The family physician said that the eldest young lady might have a way to save the second young lady."

Upon hearing this, the old lady looked at Fengyi, who remained silent beside her.

The physician was right; Fengyi's medical skills were indeed excellent. After taking the medicine she was prescribed for a while, her energy levels were much better than before.

"Fengyi, do you want to go see her? It's your decision. If you don't want to, then don't go."

The old lady did not want Fengyi to go, after all, Shen and Qingyin always framed her, her older sister, and she didn't know what tricks they were up to this time.

Xiao Fengyi put down the bowl and chopsticks in her hand. "Okay, I'll go take a look."

She also wanted to see if Xiao Qingyin really had a rare disease or was just making a fuss.
