Mu Yefeng looked at Mu Yanming as if seeking praise. Mu Yanming merely nodded slightly at him, then stood up and walked towards the courtyard where Mo Qinghuan was treating the patient.
Mu Yefeng quickly followed and asked cautiously, "Brother, do you think I handled it right?"
Mu Yanming didn't stop walking. "Not bad."
Mu Yefeng was as happy as a praised child and followed Mu Yanming closely. Yang Suxin silently trailed behind him, her eyes glued to him.
When the three of them reached the courtyard.
Mu Yefeng saw two people guarding outside. First, he looked puzzled. Then he walked to the window and was about to push it open to check on the situation inside.
Bai Ke raised his hand to stop him. "Your Highness, the Princess Consort has given orders that no one is allowed to get close or peek."
"Oh, I understand. It's a unique skill, and she doesn't want others to steal it, right?"
Bai Ke recalled the strange things Mo Qinghuan often took out. It should be considered a unique skill, so he nodded.
Mu Yanming stood in the courtyard, looking around the Liu Mansion. Mu Yefeng followed his gaze and asked with a puzzled face, "Brother, what are you looking at?"
"What do you think of this courtyard of the Liu family?"
Only then did Mu Yefeng take a closer look. Then he replied, "There's nothing special about it. It's a three - courtyard mansion with a backyard. It's very common."
Mu Yanming disagreed. He pointed in the direction of the main hall.
"The ornaments in the main hall and that real cypress bonsai are worth a fortune. Do you think they belong to a mere vice - general?"
"Oh, I see. Brother, you mean there's something behind this Vice - General Liu..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Mo Qinghuan opened the door.
His eyes followed Mo Qinghuan. She had taken off her outer robe inside the room and was putting it on as she walked towards Mu Yanming.
Mu Yefeng realized his gaffe. He coughed twice to cover his embarrassment and looked away.
"How is the patient?" Mu Yanming asked softly.
Mo Qinghuan shook her head and sighed. "The situation is not good."
Just as Liu Rudeng and his wife returned the child to Li Xinru and came over, they heard Mo Qinghuan say this.
Fang Keyan burst into tears immediately. Her voice was sharp and ear - piercing.
It was completely inconsistent with her cold and gentle appearance. Just listening to her voice, she sounded like a shrew from the market.
"Dad, you've had such a hard life!" Then she tugged at Liu Rudeng. "I was right, wasn't I? That Li Xinru is a jinx to your Liu family. The first time she entered your house today, she harmed Dad like this. If you had married her back then, you might have lost your life."
Liu Rudeng ignored her and rushed towards Mo Qinghuan. But a glance from Mu Yanming made him stop one step away.
"Princess Consort, how is my father?"
Mo Qinghuan coughed. "The old man is old, and his bones are hardened, so it's extremely easy for him to break a bone. I've already treated him. Next, it's the recuperation period. Because of his age, the recovery will be relatively slow. He may have to stay in bed for a long time."
No one noticed the flash of disgust in Fang Keyan's eyes when she heard the words "stay in bed for recuperation".
Liu Rudeng heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this. He murmured, "It's okay. As long as he's okay."
"How's the matter handled?" She looked at Mu Yanming.
Mu Yanming reached out and stroked her head. His eyes were full of tenderness. "It's okay. Don't worry. Li has taken the child back."
Mu Yefeng thought he was seeing things. But when he blinked, Mu Yanming was still the same.
Only then did he know that his brother, who was rumored to be cruel and decisive, was like this in front of the woman he loved.
Yang Suxin looked at the two of them with envy in her eyes. Then she looked at Mu Yefeng, who was also looking at Mu Yanming and Mo Qinghuan.
Suddenly, an idea popped into her mind.
She pressed her temple and groaned.
Hearing this, Mo Qinghuan looked over and asked with concern, "What's wrong with you?"
"I'm not feeling well. I'll go back first."
Seeing that there was no maid with her when she came out, Mo Qinghuan stepped forward to support her.
When Mo Qinghuan got closer, Yang Suxin whispered, "Sister Princess Consort, we're friends now. If I have something to ask for, will you help me?"
Mo Qinghuan smiled. She roughly guessed what Yang Suxin meant and nodded readily.
Seeing Mo Qinghuan nod, Yang Suxin was so excited that she almost jumped up. But remembering that she was pretending to have a headache, she leaned against Mo Qinghuan again, covering her head and groaning.
"Ouch, it hurts so much."
Mo Qinghuan held back her laughter. "Okay, stop groaning. How about I make an appointment for you and Prince Cheng to go on a boat ride on the lake tomorrow?"
This time, she really jumped up in excitement. The people walking behind them were startled and all looked at her in surprise.
She also realized her embarrassment and smiled awkwardly at them.
"Sister Princess Consort's medical skills are really extraordinary." Then she gave a thumbs - up.
After leaving the Liu Mansion, Yang Suxin knew that Mo Qinghuan still had to treat Mu Yefeng, so she felt embarrassed to follow them.
After saying goodbye to Mo Qinghuan, she returned to her mansion.
Mu Yefeng went back to the Regent's Mansion with them.
After they got back to the Regent's Mansion and everything was ready.
Mo Qinghuan pointed at the wooden bucket. Mu Yefeng looked in the direction she pointed.
The water in the wooden bucket was black and smelled stinky.
"Sister - in - law, this water smells so bad."
She ignored him and just told Yin Cong.
"The whole process takes an hour. Start counting when he starts soaking. Feed him this after a quarter of an hour." She pointed at the white bottle.
"Drink this after half an hour." Then she pointed at the small dark - green bottle.
Yin Cong nodded. "I know. After another quarter of an hour, drink the medicine in this golden bottle, right?"
Mo Qinghuan nodded in satisfaction. "You're so smart. Congratulations, you've learned to answer ahead of time. But remember, don't be late. And after soaking for a full hour, dry him off immediately and help him put on his clothes. Don't let the cold air in, or there may be sequelae."
Yin Cong nodded seriously. "Yes, I will watch over His Highness carefully."
Mo Qinghuan looked at Mu Yefeng. "Okay, start."
Mu Yefeng frowned. He touched his collar and looked at Mo Qinghuan. Mo Qinghuan deliberately stood still. Mu Yefeng's face flushed red. He asked uncertainly, "Sister - in - law, do you mean to stay here?"
Mo Qinghuan almost couldn't hold back her laughter seeing Mu Yefeng looking like he had been molested. She didn't say a word but looked at Yin Cong. Yin Cong nodded, and then she walked out.
When she walked out, she rubbed her stomach. She had almost laughed so hard that she got a stomachache just now.
