Lu Sangqi murmured, "This Elder Qi San is courting disaster by offending you, sister."
Ye Muyu did not react to his words. Instead, she furrowed her brows and said, "Quickly, check on Ah Heng."
"Alright, alright." Lu Sangqi became serious, first taking Chu Hengās pulse and quickly letting go: "Heās been well taken care of; Chu Hengās condition hasnāt worsened. However, heās been in a coma for a while, and if it continues, his body wonāt be able to keep up."
"Iāve also finished checking the medicine sent by Master Yuanhe. Itās indeed very exquisite, but Iām missing a few medicinal herbs. Iāve already instructed the steward in charge of purchasing to prepare these herbs, but itāll take some time." Lu Sangqi had to inform in advance.
He feared Ye Muyu might grow impatient and take some drastic action.
"What herbs are missing? Iāll send someone to find them." Ye Muyu immediately responded.
Lu Sangqi sighed, "Alright, Iāll write them down for you."
With that, he swiftly noted them down on the prescription.
"But after all, medicines have three parts poison..." Lu Sangqi hesitated for a moment, yet couldnāt hold back from mentioning it.
As expected, Ye Muyu suddenly looked up, her expression serious and firm, "Ah Heng will definitely wake up, so before that, I need to take good care of his body. You only need to do as I asked before: continue researching. As long as you can save his life, you can ask for anything."
"Sister, itās not right for you to say that," Lu Sangqi frowned unhappily, but seeing Chu Heng lying on the bed, neither living nor dead, he also felt upset: "Donāt worry, Iāll definitely research that nutrient solution you mentioned."
Ye Muyu hummed in response, holding Chu Hengās hand, gazing at him with deep affection that even startled Lu Sangqi a little.
"Shall we talk outside?" Lu Sangqi suggested.
"Alright." Ye Muyu gently covered Chu Heng with a quilt before turning and heading to the nearby hall.
She instructed Su Mei to serve tea.
After the servants had left, Lu Sangqi lowered his voice and asked, "Was it you who did the thing to Elder Qi San?"
"I donāt know." Ye Muyuās answer completely surprised Lu Sangqi.
He furrowed his brow, puzzled, "If it was, it was; if it wasnāt, it wasnāt. Why say you donāt know?"
"I employed some methods to connect with Elder Qi Sanās enemies, but others also contacted them," Ye Muyu said.
"You donāt know who else did the same thing as you, do you?" Lu Sangqiās guess was unavoidable, given Ye Muyuās calm demeanor.
Besides, Lu Sangqi never underestimated Ye Muyuās abilities; his own medical skills had improved because of her.
To Lu Sangqi, Ye Muyu was genuinely capable.
"I know a bit, but itās not important. Didnāt Elder Qi San die?" Ye Muyu sneered.
"Sister, you canāt disregard your own safety for Chu Heng. If something happens to you, wouldnāt he be even more upset when he wakes?" Lu Sangqi hesitated, then altered his approach to persuasion.
Honestly, he wished he could scold Chu Heng awake; the guy was too careless, getting himself hurt and then staying comatose for so long.
But because of this incident, Lu Sangqi understood even more that Ye Muyu truly liked Chu Heng and cared about her. Otherwise, she wouldnāt always protect him in matters concerning him.
"Donāt worry, nothing will happen to me before Ah Heng wakes up," Ye Muyu calmly stated.
Lu Sangqi became even more worried, furrowing his brow.
