Chapter 906 Is the Master Awake?

Chapter 906 Is the Master Awake?

Knowing that he was seriously injured because of Yuan'er, Leng Man took the initiative to ask to boil medicine for him.

When Prince Li was about to return to the capital, he actually abandoned Prince Di Jin and left the capital to collect herbs, risking his own life just to cure Yuan'er's illness.

You know, if King Di Jin loses power or passes away, he will also lose his life.

He regards them, mother and daughter, as more important than Prince Dijin, the court, and even his own life?

Leng Man guessed secretly.

What is his purpose in doing this?

After being treated by the doctor, Zhuang Shao's pain was slightly relieved and his condition gradually stabilized.

In order to prevent the lingering cold air from cold insects, several doctors sat together to discuss how to use medicine.

Xu Yingyuan stayed by Zhuang Shao's side, observing his complexion and informing the doctor in time if there were any unexpected conditions.

Hearing the noisy sound outside the house, Zhuang Shao slowly woke up.

"Madam Yuan, where is your mother?"

"Is she okay? Is she frightened?"

Xu Yingyuan lowered her eyes, a look of confusion on her face.

"My mother wasn't bitten by a cold insect, so she's fine."

"What do you mean, sir? Didn't we agree that this was just a show?"

Zhuang Shao looked embarrassed and ashamed.

"My words may sound funny, please don't blame me, Madam Yuan."

"I don't want to deceive Maner."

"I can't bear to deceive, and I can't deceive. Anyway, I just catch a cold insect and make it bite me."

"The cold bug is fine, I've sent it back home; Man'er won't be fooled either, as long as she doesn't get scared, that's all."

Xu Yingyuan was surprised.

"So, you really went to pick the Heyin grass yourself?"

Zhuang Shao's eyes were warm and gentle.

"I did go up the mountain, but I didn't collect herbs myself."

"I believe what you said before, and I have proof that it was Guard Master Yan who helped me collect the medicine."

"I am useless and incompetent and cannot climb up the cliff."

Xu Yingyuan still looked confused.

"Why is this happening, sir?"

"What's wrong with cheating on my mother?"

"If you do this, and you lose your life by mistake, what will you do?"

Zhuang Shao said frankly.

"Xi'er is well versed in medicine. She helped me calculate the timing and ensured that I would be fine."

Xu Yingyuan was speechless.

"You... this... ah."

Zhuang Shao told the reason in great detail.

"Madam Yuan, don't you know that your mother hates being teased the most?"

"She hopes that she is a smart person and no one in the world can deceive her."

"It's just a little bit of pain from a cold insect sting. It's no big deal. I don't care."

"I think there's no need to lie to her about this kind of thing. It's not a bad idea to make the fake play real."

Xu Yingyuan couldn't help but sigh.

"It turns out that love is so magical that even a wise man like you can become a fool, playing with life and not caring about yourself."

Zhuang Shao emphasized this specifically.

"I am willing to do so, but what I am doing is totally wrong."

"Please Madam Yuan, don't learn or imitate."

Xu Yingyuan was helpless.

"You fool, I won't learn from you."

Zhuang Shao's eyes were deep, as if he saw scenes from his childhood.

"I have failed her. Whatever I do for her is what I should do."

Xu Yingyuan asked in confusion.

"How have you failed her?"

Zhuang Shao repented.

"She was betrayed by the Emperor, and I couldn't save her, leaving her alone and helpless for many years."

Xu Yingyuan didn't care.

"That's it?"

"She was willing to be treated with indifference by the emperor. How can you blame her?"

Zhuang Shao reminisces about the past.

"I promised that if she was in trouble, I would save her."

Xu Yingyuan was surprised.

"You promised?"

"Mother seemed to say that Master Zhuang promised to save her."

"Did the Master also agree?"

Zhuang Shao corrected.

"It was me who promised her, not Hongshunbo."

Xu Yingyuan was stunned.

"My Lord, what you said is a bit profound. I don't quite understand it."

While meditating for a while, she suddenly realized something and lowered her voice to speak out her guess.

"You... Could it be that you are..."

Zhuang Shao nodded and answered her question silently.

Before coming, he asked Xier if he could reveal his identity to Madam Yuan.

Xier nodded.

Therefore, he told the truth, hoping that Lady Kite could feel his sincerity.

Upon learning the shocking secret, Xu Yingyuan was horrified.

"Then... then Lord Zhuang is..."

"You guys...swapped identities?"

Zhuang Shao still just nodded.

Xu Yingyuan was full of doubts.

"why?"

Before Zhuang Shao could answer, he heard a familiar sound of footsteps.

He swallowed his words back into his stomach and couldn't utter them out loud.

Xu Yingyuan understood what he meant, kept silent, and pretended to tidy up the quilt and cover him.

Leng Man pushed the door open with a bowl of medicine in her hand.

"Yuan'er, is the master awake?"

Xu Yingyuan got up from her seat and reached out to take the bowl of medicine.

"Just woke up."

"My Lord, you are weak and seem to have no strength to speak."

Recounted by Leng Man.

"The doctor said that after drinking the medicine, he regained his strength."

Xu Yingyuan suggested.

"I'll hold the medicine bowl and let mother feed him, okay?"

Leng Man hesitated slightly, then agreed.

"okay."

With Man'er feeding him medicine, Zhuang Shao was completely immersed in happiness and couldn't extricate himself.

When paying the bill, Zhuang Shao followed Ning Jiewei's plan and pretended that he had forgotten to bring money and was penniless, in order to create a reasonable excuse for their next meeting.

As Ning Jiewei expected, Leng Man took out some money and paid the bill for him.

Zhuang Shao took the opportunity to propose.

"After returning to Beijing, I will personally go to your house and return the silver."

"Thank you Miss Leng for your help."

Leng Man remained polite and refused decisively.

"I don't need this little bit of money, so you don't have to return it."

"It's getting late, and I'm really uncomfortable with the difference between men and women. Please allow me to leave."

Xu Yingyuan persuaded.

"Master, your body has not recovered yet, and mother is leaving now?"

"Shall we take the master back to the inn to rest?"

"I'm with you, why should you care about the difference between men and women? Don't worry, mother, no one will gossip."

Leng Man was completely unwilling.

"I'm not afraid of gossip, I'm afraid..."

She stopped talking and didn't say anything further.

Looking up, she gave Master Fang a faint smile. She pulled her daughter to a corner, away from outsiders, and told him quietly.

"Can't you see that this is a conspiracy between Duke Jingshan and Princess Yuexi to use the beauty trap?"

"If I fall into the trap, the emperor will doubt our intentions."

Xu Yingyuan rejected it.

"Mother thinks too much."

"How can Lord Fang, at this age and with this appearance, use his beauty to lure men?"

Leng Man disagreed.

"He is about my age, and his appearance is just right for the beauty trap."

Xu Yingyuan covered her mouth and smiled.

"Yo?"

"Mother, do you think that Mr. Fang is handsome and makes your heart flutter?"

Leng Man frowned.

"Stop talking nonsense and don't make fun of me. I don't mean that."

Xu Yingyuan smiled happily and spoke leisurely.

“That sounds like what I meant.”

"A mother doesn't have to hide her thoughts. If you want to change your mind, your child will follow you."

Leng Man was furious.

"How many times do you want me to warn you? Stop talking nonsense."

"Don't force me to get angry and teach you a lesson."

Xu Yingyuan lowered her eyes to show weakness.

"Yes, I know my mistake."

She grabbed her mother's arm and advised her with a bit of coquettishness.

"Sending him back to the inn shouldn't bother mother, right? It's okay to send him back."

Leng Man was upset.

"You can send me off if you want. I won't."

Xu Yingyuan is both strong and gentle.

"Mother is so ungrateful. He risked his life to collect herbs for me."

"Even Lord Xu has never done such a thing."

"Mr. Fang is kind and righteous, and his kindness is greater than that of a loving father."

As she was talking, Leng Man was startled when she saw that Lord Jingshan was nowhere to be seen.

"Ok?"

"What about others?"

Xu Yingyuan responded quickly and gave a lot of compliments.

"Master Fang must have seen that mother didn't want to send him off, fearing that it would cause you trouble, so he left without saying goodbye."

"I have never met such a reasonable man."

"Master Fang, you are so special and thoughtful. You look and behave exactly like the father in my dreams."
