"This must not be taken lightly," insisted Madam Cui.
Upon returning to the Duke Residence, the doctor was already waiting. After taking the pulse, he found nothing serious, just a cold, and some excessive worrying. He advised plenty of rest and prescribed three doses of medicine...
Madam Cui watched Cui Fangfang drink the medicine and fall asleep before she left Tingfang Academy.
However, when the room was empty, the supposedly sleeping Cui Fangfang suddenly opened her eyes. Yang Dani, why are you everywhere? Iāve barely escaped the quagmire of the Yang Family and become a high-ranking lady of the Duke Residence. I wonāt allow anyone to ruin this!
If anyone were to come over at this moment, they might be startled by Cui Fangfangās expression. So young, yet her gaze was terrifyingly fierce, her entire face twisted, looking extremely menacing.
Yet, despite her hatred, Cui Fangfang knew she was no match for Yang Dani. How could she ensure her own position and make sure Yang Ruxin couldnāt do anything to her?
She needed a strong ally, someone more powerful than Yang Ruxin and Gu Qingheng.
But who could be more powerful than them?
The first person the young girl thought of was the Emperor, but she had no way of meeting him. She wasnāt even qualified to attend the upcoming palace banquet, so gaining the Emperorās favor as her ally was unlikely.
Next were the various Princes.
But she had no means to meet them either, and more importantly, she didnāt know which Prince held a grudge against Yang Ruxin.
Thinking it over, Cui Fangfang couldnāt come up with a reliable ally and felt rather discouraged.
Suddenly, she remembered an incident at the Lake Heart Pavilion. It seemed that Zuo Qingqing didnāt like Yang Ruxin because Fangfang had noticed her glaring at Yang Ruxin several times. Then there was Peng Jing, whose attitude seemed quite strange as well, so could she start with them?
With this thought, Cui Fangfang suddenly smiled. Yang Ruxin, Yang Dani, dear cousin, it was you who came to obstruct me first. So, whatever I do to you in the future, itās your own fault.
Yang Ruxin had just returned to Hengxin Pavilion and hadnāt even settled in when she sneezed twice in a row.
"Madam, have you caught a cold?" Lun Yi quickly asked.
"No," Yang Ruxin sniffed, "It must be someone cursing me."
Lun Yiās mouth twitched: "How can you be sure of that?"
"Why wouldnāt I be sure? Itās very accurate," Yang Ruxin replied seriously, widening her eyes. "Anyway, my instincts are always spot on."
"Haha," Lun Yi couldnāt help but laugh.
That evening, Yang Ruxin originally intended to tell Gu Qingheng about Dayaās matters, but she waited late into the night and still didnāt see him return.
Yang Ruxin felt her eyelid twitch, as if something might happen. She hurried to find Shadow Three: "Did the General send any message back?"
Gu Di shook her head: "I just sent someone to inquire, madam donāt worry, maybe heās tied up with something..."
Yang Ruxin said nothing more, instead, she closed her eyes to carefully sense things. Because the two of them shared a Heart Poisonous Insect, their hearts were connected. But soon she opened her eyes, her expression had softened: "Thereās no danger, but thereās trouble." She stood up, "Letās go and see."
Gu Diās eyes flickered, madam was becoming more and more miraculous, no, she was becoming more and more in tune with the General.
