The legendary and renowned Yu Prince's Mansion. The Yu Prince, Dugu Fuya, is the younger brother of the current emperor, born of the same mother. He is the most beloved brother of the emperor and was also the most favored son of the late emperor. It is rumored that the emperor's throne was yielded by the Yu Prince.
Back then, the late emperor wanted to pass the throne to the Yu Prince. However, the Yu Prince knew that the current emperor had long coveted the throne. So he voluntarily withdrew and persuaded the late emperor to pass the throne to the current emperor.
On the surface, the Yu Prince declined, saying that he didn't want to be involved in the court affairs and only wanted to be a care - free prince. In fact, he was just trying to protect himself. Now, not only does the emperor favor and appreciate him, but he will also be the future regent to assist the new emperor.
As for who the future new emperor will be, the Yu Prince, Dugu Fuya, has great say in front of the emperor. Therefore, he is also a highly sought - after figure among the princes, who all want to curry favor with and win him over.
But Dugu Fuya never gets too close or too far from anyone. Outsiders can never guess his thoughts.
Such a powerful prince suddenly sent people to the Liu family, and they went straight to Liu Yushu.
"May I ask how to address you?" Mama Xie had served beside the queen before. She had long heard of the name of the Yu Prince. Among all the powerful families in the capital, any family with a daughter wanted to send their daughter into the Yu Prince's Mansion, even if it was just to be a concubine.
One of the maids beside the middle - aged woman replied coldly, "This is the personal nanny beside His Highness the Yu Prince. You should all address her as Nanny Lu."
It turned out to be someone from the Yu Prince's side. No one had expected that the Yu Prince would value a girl from a down - and - out family whom he had never met before so much.
Nanny Lu told the maid to pull up the curtain. She went inside to stop the bleeding and treat Liu Yushu.
Nanny Lu came from a family of doctors. She was proficient in medicine and was even more skilled than the imperial doctors in the palace. She was especially good at treating serious illnesses and injuries after torture, because Nanny Lu had once served in the Ministry of Punishment for a while, and her duty was to teach the people in the Ministry of Punishment some extremely cruel punishments.
Nanny Lu smeared some medicine on her hands. After reaching in, she found the wound, quickly ripped it open, squeezed out the congestion, smeared the medicine on it, and pressed it for a while. She didn't come out until the wound stopped bleeding. Her face showed great surprise. She didn't expect Liu Yushu to be so seriously injured. The attacker had been so cruel that it was obvious they wanted Liu Yushu to die on the spot. If she hadn't come in time, Liu Yushu would surely have died.
In the dream, Liu Yushu had been running. She wanted to escape the darkness. However, at the end of the darkness, she bumped into a figure that filled her with fear and hatred - Wu Qing.
Wu Qing had a faint smile on his face and reached out his hand to her. "Come, Yushu. I'll protect you for the rest of your life."
"No, you damned liar! I hate you! I hate you so much!" She roared in collapse and turned to run. She would rather die than see Wu Qing again. Their encounter was doomed to be a mistake from the very beginning.
She shouldn't have saved the injured him back then. She shouldn't have brought this ill - fated relationship upon herself.
"Yushu, I love you. I'll always love you. You and I will never be separated." Wu Qing's figure split into countless ones in an instant, surrounding Liu Yushu like a nightmare. She had nowhere to escape. Seeing a wall in front of her, she gritted her teeth and rammed into it. Her vision went black and she fainted.
"No!" Liu Yushu let out a scream and woke up from the nightmare. Her panicked vision gradually cleared. In front of her was Mama Xie's worried face and another calm - looking middle - aged woman she had never seen before.
"Sister Yushu, you're finally alive!" Mama Xie was so excited that she threw herself on the couch and cried.
"Mama Xie, we should focus on getting the girl's health back now. I advise you not to cry here. If you pass on your sadness to the girl, you won't be able to bear the consequences." Nanny Lu warned coldly. Her clear eyes sized up Liu Yushu. She had seen thousands, if not ten thousand, women, but apart from being extremely beautiful and delicate, she couldn't see what was so special about Liu Yushu that could make the Yu Prince fall for her.
Liu Yushu's bright eyes were filled with tears that slid down from the corners of her eyes one by one. She was weak, with a pale face. When she cried, she looked so pitiful that anyone who saw her would feel soft - hearted. Nanny Lu was no exception. She thought that this little girl did have some special charm. Just with her ability to move people with a few tears and make people reluctant to blame her no matter what she did, no one among the daughters of the powerful families in the capital could match her.
No wonder the Yu Prince had taken so much trouble for her. Nanny Lu thought that if the Yu Prince saw Liu Yushu looking so pitiful, he would surely agree to whatever she said.
"Is the girl feeling better?" Nanny Lu asked and wiped the tears from Liu Yushu's face with a handkerchief.
Liu Yushu nodded. Her voice was a bit hoarse. "I have no strength." She was too weak to move. Her body ached terribly. Even a slight movement would make her feel as if she was being torn in half. She could only lie limply on the couch like a living corpse.
A maid came in with the medicine. Nanny Lu told Mama Xie to feed it to Liu Yushu.
Liu Yushu frowned in confusion. "What is this?"
Mama Xie hesitated for a moment, looking like she wanted to say something but stopped. Obviously, she was reluctant to say it in front of the others. Seeing this, Nanny Lu simply said, "It's the Reincarnation Pill."
"What did you say?" Liu Yushu's eyes widened in shock. She knew she was injured, but she didn't know how seriously.
"The girl's injury is too serious. Although the wound has healed, if she doesn't take good care of herself, she may be disabled in the future. If the girl still wants to live well and be healthy, drink this medicine quickly." Nanny Lu said sternly.
After hearing this, Liu Yushu opened her mouth nervously and drank the hot medicine. She was scared and desperate. After what happened with Wu Qing, she no longer had any hope for love between men and women.
She didn't dare to trust men anymore.
After drinking the medicine, Liu Yushu felt a bit headache and fell asleep groggily.
