A piece of Japanese incense

Chapter 176 Crying

Zhi Yihe saw everything about Yu Yi's strange behavior. After He Feng left, she quickly calmed down. She first looked around and examined the surrounding environment, then stroked her arms and cheeks...

"Don't worry, girl. These acne scars will disappear soon and will not leave any traces." Yu Yi held a thin cotton swab and applied the ointment on her little by little.

"Yuyi, how long have I been unconscious?"

"Probably... one or two days."

"how did you find me?"

"I was... I thought the girl's urticaria might recur, so she must go to the pharmacy for treatment. So I waited near the pharmacy, and sure enough, I met someone buying herbs for treating urticaria. After asking, I found out that it was the girl."

Yu Yi hesitated about what to say, and Zhi Yihe looked at her carefully, feeling very upset.

"Where are we? When I first woke up, I thought we were at home!"

Yuyi replied, "This is the residence of Master He."

"Oh~" Zhi Yihe raised his hand to play with the sachet on the bed curtain, and suddenly exclaimed: "Why is this fragrance so similar to the one I use every day?"

"This is the incense you usually use." Yu Yi blurted out.

"Oh?"

"Girl, have you ever thought about why the rash, which did not occur for a long time in the past, suddenly got worse in the past few months?"

"Why?"

"This is because the spices, clothes, drinks and delicacies that the girl uses every day all contain the medicine that the master has carefully prepared for her."

"what?"

"The young lady has been weak and sickly since she was young. She gets a fever when the wind blows and falls ill when the grass touches her. The master and his wife are worried about her every day, so the master has worked tirelessly to develop various medicines. Since I entered the mansion, the master and his wife have taught me how to quietly integrate medicines into every aspect of the young lady's life."

"What medicine? How come I never knew I took any?"

"The master knew that if the girl knew it was medicine, she would definitely refuse to take it. He also didn't want the girl to feel that she was seriously ill and had to take medicine all day long, so he cleverly hid the medicine in daily use."

Zhi Yihe's throat choked slightly, and he swallowed more frequently, his voice becoming gentler: "Then, how did Grandfather keep me from getting sick?"

"The girl uses incense and bath water every day, and I sprinkle a little bit of medicine powder on her food. She has never tasted it." After Yu Yi finished speaking, she couldn't help but smile.

Zhiyi and Jiayi slapped Yuyi and laughed loudly: "Great! You actually kept it a secret from me for so long! I said this rash has been going on for a few months, how come it went away as soon as you came here!"

Yu Yi laughed so hard that she fell backwards, but suddenly stopped laughing and turned her back.

Zhi Yihe saw Yu Yi's straight back and immediately stopped smiling. He asked seriously, "Yu Yi, what's wrong with you?"

Yuyi shook her head, turned her back to her, and responded weakly: "I am happy to see that the girl is okay."

Zhi Yihe stared at Yu Yi blankly, an idea flashed through her mind quickly, and she said softly: "I haven't read a book for a long time. It's boring to lie in bed. Get me a book."

Yuyi quickly brought a copy of "Records of Various Nations", and Zhiyihe quickly flipped through it, then called Yuyi again: "Can you read it with me?"

Yu Yi sat beside Zhi Yihe anxiously. She leaned over to read a book, but saw Zhi Yihe pointing at the words in the book and giving her a wink.

Yuyi was still confused, but she saw Zhiyi pointed out word by word: "Yes, no, there is, someone, in, Jian, watching."

Yuyi reacted immediately and was still hesitant, but when Zhiyihe held her hand, she nodded firmly.

You know that people in China are there

Yuyi frowned slightly, but nodded, then flipped through the book and pointed out two words to Zhiyihe: Rain, in the middle.

Rain, prison! Zhi Yihe was shocked. Sure enough! She should have expected that her grandfather and his family would not disappear for no reason. They were locked up!

Yes, OK

Yu Yi bit her lower lip and stared at Zhi Yihe, as if someone had determined her acupoints.

Zhi Yihe was in a state of confusion. He shook Yuyi's arm and urged her anxiously with eyes wide open.

Yuyi's eyes turned red and tears rolled down silently.

Zhi Yihe's heart skipped a beat. He flipped through the pages of the book quickly, and asked Yu Yi eagerly what had happened.

Yu Yi held Zhi Yihe's hands and hugged her tightly. After a long time, she slowly took the book and pointed out word by word what she wanted to tell her.

My old man has passed away. My husband is seriously ill.

Zhi Yihe's breathing was choked, her heart was surging like a raging storm, and a tear fell without warning. She fell into endless self-blame and confusion. She had never hated her ignorance so much and slapped herself in anger.

"Ah! Girl! Why are you doing this! Girl!" Yu Yi grabbed Zhi Yihe's arm and couldn't help crying.

"What happened in the house?" There was a hurried knock on the door outside.

Zhi Yihe raised her head and uttered a plaintive cry, tears streaming down her cheeks. She had clenched her teeth, trying hard not to cry, but there were only a few knocks on the door before someone barged in rudely. Helplessness and despair swallowed her up, and she could no longer hold back and burst into tears.

The door was violently knocked open, and several intruders stood in front of them, breathing heavily, and asked in a cold and hard voice: "What's going on?"

Zhi Yihe's crying became more and more miserable. She seemed to want to vent all her sorrow at this moment: "All of you get out! Don't I have any dignity? It's embarrassing enough that I have scars all over my body! You broke in without permission! Don't you wish I couldn't get married? I hate you! I will tell my eldest brother about this and report it to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. You have ruined my reputation! I curse you, you will never get married in your life!"

Yuyi also quickly wiped away her tears and drove those people out: "You guys are really going too far! Hurry up and leave! Our girl is already very sad because of the scars all over her body, and you are adding fuel to the fire! Get out now!"

The person who broke in also felt something was wrong, so he stood outside the screen and bowed to apologize: "I'm sorry, Madam Zhi, the master asked us to take good care of you. We heard the crying and lost our composure for a moment. I hope you will forgive me."

"Get out! Yuyi, kick them out! I don't want to see these rude people anymore!" Zhi Yihe took this opportunity to vent his temper and angrily threw the surrounding dishes to the ground.

Yuyi closed the door and ran back. Seeing Zhiyihe struggling to get out of bed, she hurried over to support him: "Miss, you have burned some incense and you are not strong enough right now. Whatever you want to do, I will do it for you!"

Zhi Yihe pushed down the clothes rack beside her and cried loudly: "Now everyone knows that I have scars all over my body. How can I be embarrassed in the future? Who will I marry in the future?"

After shouting, he leaned close to Yuyi's ear and whispered, "What disease is your grandmother suffering from? Where is she imprisoned now?"

Yuyi hugged Zhi Yihe and smashed a porcelain bottle. She lowered her voice and told her, "Madam was imprisoned because of the death of her master. She didn't know the whereabouts of the girl and became sick. When she learned that the girl was seriously ill and needed treatment, she even coughed up blood. When we were arrested, we were all blindfolded. When I was taken out, I was also blindfolded. I don't know where I was imprisoned."

They continued to smash things in the house, and Zhi Yihe also asked as many questions as possible about things he didn't know: "When did grandpa die?"

"I heard from Sister Yanliu that not long after the young lady left that day, the master kept the mistress in the room for only half an incense stick of time before she came out of the room covered in blood. She asked someone to find you and asked everyone to prepare for the funeral."

"It turns out that day...my grandfather..." Zhi Yihe was no longer able to hold on, she collapsed and knelt on the ground dejectedly.

Yu Yi knelt beside him, letting her lean on him. Zhi Yihe continued to ask, "Did the Queen take away Grandfather and Brother Nian?"

Yu Yi shook her head hesitantly: "Why do you say that, young lady?"

"That Hefeng told me that my father took away everyone in the palace. The queen sent troops to rescue him, but they only took away a body and a man."

"I don't know about this. After Yuzhu and the girl and I got separated, we searched hard but couldn't find them. We had to return to the mansion and gather people to search together. Unexpectedly, when we got to the alley, someone covered our heads. When we woke up, we were imprisoned in the same room with the women in our family."

"What on earth happened?" Zhi Yihe sat on the ground, scratching his lips with his fingers, lost in thought.

"Girl, are you still smashing it?"

Zhi Yihe looked at the mess on the ground and finally let out a light laugh.
