"Jiaxuan, are you looking for me?"

"Brother, are you back?"

"Well, when I came back, I heard from the servants that you had something to ask me. What was it?"

"Brother, can you arrange another secret guard to protect Ayu?"

"What's wrong? Did something happen to Ayu?"

"Nothing. It's just that sometimes I see that she has other things to arrange for Yifeng to do. If that happens, she will have no one to protect her when she goes out. After all, Ayu herself doesn't know any martial arts, so I'm still a little worried."

"But the secret guards in our mansion all have corresponding duties. We have already redeployed one person to protect Ayu and bring her back to Beijing. If we redeploy another person to protect Ayu alone, it might be difficult to do. Is Ayu really okay?"

Ye Jiaxuan shook his head.

"Don't worry, Ayu won't get into trouble that easily." Ye Quanyong patted Ye Jiaxuan on the shoulder, "You guys don't have to worry too much, it's nothing, I'll leave first, take care of yourself, don't stay in your room all the time to settle accounts."

"I understand, big brother." Ye Jiaxuan sent Ye Quanyong away.

"Fucai, add more charcoal."

"Master, the charcoal fire has burned enough, and the weather is starting to warm up. Why are you getting more and more afraid of the cold?"

"I don't know what's going on. You all say the weather is starting to warm up, but it feels like it's getting colder."

"Master, do you want to ask a doctor to take a look?" Fu Cai was a little worried.

"That's not necessary. I know my own body condition very well. It may be because I haven't had enough rest recently, so I feel a little weak. You can ask the kitchen to cook some qi-replenishing food later."

"Yes, Master, if you feel unwell, please tell me immediately and I will go get a doctor."

"Understood, let's go down."

"Second brother." Ye Ziyu ran to Ye Jiaxuan.

As soon as he entered the room, Ye Ziyu frowned and fanned his nose in front of him, "Second brother, how much charcoal did you light?" Ye Ziyu hurriedly opened a corner of the window.

"Not a lot." Ye Jiaxuan smiled awkwardly.

"Let's go." Ye Ziyu walked in front of Ye Jiaxuan.

"Where are you going? I didn't hear you had any plans for today."

"Go for a stroll!"

"How can you stay in the house every day? Fu Cai said that you haven't left the room for a long time." Ye Ziyu pulled Ye Jiaxuan and wanted to take him out.

Ye Jiaxuan was very resistant, "Forget it, it's too cold outside."

"??? Where is it cold?" Ye Ziyu stepped forward and placed one hand on Ye Jiaxuan's forehead and the other on her own forehead, "You don't have a fever either."

Ye Jiaxuan took a step back, "What...what are you doing?"

Ye Ziyu: ???

"I...I just wanted to see if you had a fever."

"Oh, I don't have a fever."

Ye Ziyu nodded. "You don't have a fever, so why do you feel cold? Have you called a doctor?"

"No, I don't feel any other discomfort except feeling cold."

"That's strange, I feel cold for no apparent reason, and the warmer the weather gets, the colder I feel."

"It gets colder the warmer the weather? Why is that so strange? Li Qiu, go get the court doctor." Ye Ziyu said immediately.

"No need." Ye Jiaxuan stopped him.

"Don't you think it's strange, second brother? How can a healthy person feel cold when the weather is warm? This must be a disease or infection. It's better to let the doctor check it out."

"Well, let's check it out so that everyone can feel more at ease." Ye Jiaxuan stopped trying to stop him. If he refused, Ye Ziyu would definitely go find his parents and have him checked out in the end.

"What has the Second Young Master eaten recently?" the court physician asked after taking his pulse.

"The young master has normal meals in the mansion for three meals a day and doesn't eat anything extra." Fucai replied.

"What's wrong?" Ye Ziyu asked.

The court doctor withdrew his hand and said, "From the pulse, the second young master is fine and has no signs of illness."

"Then why does my second brother feel cold?"

"This is the first time I've encountered this situation. It may be due to deficiency of Qi and blood. I will prescribe some Qi and blood replenishing medicine for you. You can drink a few doses to see the effect. If it doesn't work, I will change it."

"Aren't you using my second brother to test the medicine?" Ye Ziyu asked excitedly, "If the test goes wrong, someone could die!"

"Fucai, send the doctor out and get the medicine." Ye Jiaxuan held Ye Ziyu down.

"Second brother! How can you joke about your life?"

"Oh." Ye Jiaxuan chuckled, "How could Second Brother joke about his own life? But you also heard that the doctor couldn't find out the cause. It's just a few bitter medicines."

"Then I won't take you out today. You should rest well in the house, but you still need to open the windows for fresh air. Also, if the medicine prescribed by the court doctor doesn't work or your condition gets worse, you are not allowed to take it. Do you understand?"

"I know, I know, it's like you are my elder. Am I, your brother, so stupid?" Ye Jiaxuan rubbed Ye Ziyu's head with his fingers.

"Then I'll go back." Ye Ziyu said.

"Go back. Your second brother is not dead yet. Why do you look so reluctant?"

"Tsk." Ye Ziyu ran away.

After returning to the room, Ye Ziyu called Yifeng.

"Miss."

"Legacy, the current dynasty..." Ye Ziyu thought about it and felt that it was not right to say this, "Your era..." It didn't seem right either.

"Miss, what do you want to ask?" Yi Feng looked at Ye Ziyu for a long time and didn't know what to say.

"Are you the only one who knows about Gu poison?" Ye Ziyu asked. For some reason, the first thing that came to Ye Ziyu's mind when she saw this kind of undiagnosed and abnormal disease was the one in the novel.

"Poison?" Yifeng shook his head.

"You don't know at all or you haven't heard of it?"

"As far as I know, there is no such thing as poison."

"Does the Miao people exist?" Ye Ziyu asked again.

"The Miao people do exist in Miaojiang, but they don't use Gu, they use medicine."

"Use medicine?" Ye Ziyu thought, "Since the Miao people exist, it is possible that they were infected, but it was not poison but medicine."

"Yifeng, can you help me go to Lingxinge and ask if the Miao people have a medicine that will make people feel cold as the weather gets hotter? What will happen in the end? Is there an antidote? Go ask Liqiu to get the silver." Ye Ziyu said.

"Yes, I'll go right away." Yifeng went out immediately.

After a while, Li Qiu came running over and asked, "Miss, what did you ask Yi Feng to do?"

"What's wrong? You look so resentful."

"Yifeng came and asked me to take a large sum of money and left, saying that the young lady needed it. Young lady, why do you need so much money? Don't blame me for being nosy. We have saved so much money with great difficulty, and we can't spend it like this."

Ye Ziyu smiled and said, "So you took a large sum of money from our little money-grubber. It's okay. Your lady will earn it back and will definitely satisfy our little money-grubber." Ye Ziyu pinched Liqiu's face, "Have you gained weight recently? You look even fatter when you pinch it."

"Miss! How could I not? I have already eaten a lot less." Li Qiu muttered, "My face has become smaller because of hunger." Li Qiu covered his face.

“Why eat less?”

"They all said that I ate too much and that I was fat."

"What's wrong with eating a lot? Being able to eat is a blessing. And how can you get fat?" Ye Ziyu pulled Li Qiu around in a circle. "I think this is great. Ignore them and eat as much as you want. The master hasn't said anything yet, so what can others say?"

"Hey, these are the new pastries that Zhizhi sent yesterday. They smell so good. Take some." Ye Ziyu handed the pastries on the table to Liqiu.

"This... isn't good." Li Qiu refused, staring intently.

"I order you to take these pastries and eat them. You are not allowed to disobey." Ye Ziyu smiled and then spoke in a stern tone.

"Yes, the young lady's order cannot be disobeyed." Li Qiu happily picked up the cakes and said, "I will share them with everyone."

"Go ahead." Ye Ziyu smiled and waved.

After Li Qiu left, Ye Ziyu's face turned cold. "If it was really the medicine that caused my second brother to be like this, who would do such a cruel thing? And when did they do it?" For some reason, Lin Yun's face flashed in Ye Ziyu's mind.

Ye Ziyu: No, my second brother and Lin Yun have such a good relationship, Lin Yun would not treat my second brother like this, but how could Lin Yun change so completely in such a short time? If this is his nature, then why did he pretend before, but now he doesn't even pretend.

Ye Ziyu felt a headache again and pressed her temples with her hands.
