I'm reborn, only a fool would spoil you

The Imperial Palace, Fengzao Palace.

In the side room, Mrs. Fu fainted from vomiting blood in anger due to the provocation of Mrs. Lin, the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo. Two hours later, she slowly woke up, and the first thing she saw was her granddaughter Fu Yuxuan sitting on the edge of the bed, tidying up the quilt for her.

A warm feeling surged in Madam Fu's heart. Her own granddaughter was so caring. Unlike that unfilial daughter Fu Yuzheng, who didn't even show up!

"Where is Fu Yuzheng? Why doesn't she come to take care of the patient?" Old Madam Fu asked coldly.

She knew that she couldn't order Fu Yuzheng around in the Marquis of Jingyang's Mansion, but this was the imperial palace, with strict rules, so she had to show off her grandmother's authority and order Fu Yuzheng to come and take care of her.

Fu Yuxuan replied in a low voice: "Third sister is in Jiaotai Hall right now, attending the birthday banquet. Uncle, aunt and others are there."

"Go, ask her to take care of the patient!" Mrs. Fu insisted.

Fu Yuxuan said helplessly: “Grandma, my third sister may not be able to come now.”

Then, she told the story of how Princess Yuehua and Concubine Xiang had made things difficult for her aunt at the birthday banquet.

Fu Yuzheng is a filial son. How could she leave her mother and take care of the patient at such a critical moment?

Mrs. Fu's eyes lit up after hearing this: "Really?" She loved to see people of noble status making things difficult for Fu Yuzheng and her daughter, and this made her originally dizzy head instantly clear.

In excitement, Madam Fu actually went to Jiaotai Hall in person on crutches to see how miserable Fu Yuzheng and her daughter were after being troubled.

Fu Yuxuan's dissuasion was futile and she could only personally support her grandmother there.

As a result, as soon as Mrs. Fu arrived at the side door of Jiaotai Hall with unsteady steps, she saw Tao Ying smiling and accepting the reward from afar.

Emperor Jingde praised Tao Ying in public: "She has been with the army for nearly twenty years, has worked hard and made great contributions, and is a model for women from noble families"!

He also personally bestowed upon Empress Rong the relic of the previous dynasty, the "Jade Flute of the Heavenly Girl"!

This, this is praised by Emperor Jingde himself. Wouldn’t Tao Ying’s arrogance in the future be... even more arrogant?

At that moment, how could Madam Fu still be proud?

In a rage, she vomited blood again and fainted on the ground. With a thud, she fell outside the side door of the hall.

The hall was bustling with activity, and no one noticed this scene. Only Fu Yuxuan was extremely anxious. She hurriedly called for the nearby eunuchs and palace maids to come and help.

Two palace maids and a eunuch rushed over. When they saw the blood, they were extremely shocked. They hurriedly took out rags to clean it up, fearing that the emperor and empress would find out and blame them.

However, no one was willing to pay attention to the unpopular Madam Fu.

Fu Yuxuan was extremely anxious and had to run out to find more eunuchs and palace maids.

Just as she was in a panic, Chen Peiting, the eldest son of the Prime Minister, saw Fu Yuxuan passing by from afar. He had an idea and left his seat on the pretext of leaving and quickly rushed to her side.

Seeing that Madam Fu had fallen to the ground, Chen Peiting picked up the old lady without hesitation and quickly ran to the guest room.

His timely appearance and assistance surprised Fu Yuxuan.

Immediately, without caring about anything else, she quickly followed Chen Peiting and together they placed Madam Fu in the side room.

Afterwards, Chen Peiting ordered his servant to take his badge and quickly go to the Imperial Medical Bureau to ask the imperial physician to come for treatment.

Chen Peiting sat on the edge of the bed, gently opened Madam Fu's eyelids, and observed her attentively.

He said calmly, "I have studied medicine for several years. The old lady was just mentally unstable and overly angry, which led to her fainting. As long as she keeps a calm mind and gets more rest, she should be able to recover."

Fu Yuxuan bit her lip slightly, knowing that this would not be an easy task.

In the past six months, the second branch of the family has suffered misfortunes one after another. My grandmother is always worried about my second brother who has squandered the family fortune and is practicing Buddhism in Pudu Temple with his hair uncut, and her eyes are filled with tears.

Today, I witnessed with my own eyes the scene where Sister Yao was humiliated by her mother-in-law. Even my grandmother herself was severely humiliated by Lady Lin, the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo. My grandmother's mood was undoubtedly made worse.

However, Fu Yuxuan did not show these worries. She gave Chen Peiting a grateful smile: "Thank you, Lord Chen, for your advice."

Soon, the imperial physician arrived at the scene, and his diagnosis was exactly the same as Chen Peiting's.

After the servant sent the doctor away, Fu Yuxuan thanked Chen Peiting again: "Thanks to Mr. Chen's help today, I have no way to repay you. Please allow me to serve you a cup of tea."

As she spoke, she handed over a cup of steaming hot tea.

Chen Peiting took the teacup, looked at her pretty face, and said with a smile: "It's just a small favor. There's no need to be so polite between you and me."

Fu Yuxuan felt a little uncomfortable with his words. After thinking for a moment, she said frankly, "Master Chen, we...are not familiar with each other."

Chen Peiting swallowed the tea in his mouth gently, looked at her and smiled: "People are not born familiar with each other. Isn't it the case that the first time is strange, the second time is familiar?"

Fu Yuxuan was speechless. This was true, but...

Chen Peiting continued to smile and said, "Come to think of it, we are destined to meet. The first time we met... I saved you once. You should... still remember, right?"

He was referring to the time when he saved her when the old madman was killing someone in the street.

He pulled her into his arms.

At that moment, Chen Peiting still cannot forget the soft touch of her waist. Whenever he thinks of that scene in the dead of night, his fingertips can't help but feel hot.

Fu Yuxuan: …

Was this a reminder to her that he had saved her life?

To be honest, she has yet to properly thank him for saving her life.

In fact, according to the customs of the Great Zhou Kingdom, this kind of life-saving grace is as important as giving birth to a new parent, and it is a great favor. The elders of the family should bring gifts and take her to the door to express their gratitude.

But... On the day when Chen Peiting heroically rescued her, the cold eyes and evasive attitude of the Prime Minister's wife, Chen, pierced Fu Yuxuan's heart like a cold wind, making her firmly reject her grandmother's proposal to come to her house to express her gratitude.

She would rather pretend that nothing had happened than go to the Prime Minister's home and be humiliated.

However, she never expected that Chen Peiting would mention this matter again at this time.

Fu Yuxuan could no longer avoid it and could only bite the bullet and express her belated gratitude.

She knelt down and saluted, saying sincerely, "Thank you, Lord Chen, for saving my life that day."

At the moment she bent her knees, the handkerchief hanging from her waist accidentally slipped off. Just as she was about to bend down to pick it up...

Chen Peiting picked up the handkerchief faster than her.

I wanted to return it to her.

At this moment, someone called "Young Master" from outside the door. Instinctively to protect her, Chen Peiting quickly crumpled the handkerchief into a ball and held it tightly in his hand.

"Master, it's almost time." The servant pushed open the door and reminded him that the master and the mistress were still waiting for him at the banquet.

Chen Peiting clenched the handkerchief in his palm and said goodbye to Fu Yuxuan softly: "Fourth Miss Fu, see you later."

Fu Yuxuan didn't want to see him again. Her eyes were fixed on the handkerchief in Chen Peiting's hand. She just wanted to get back...her things.

However, Chen Peiting took it with him and left. When he was walking through the corridor, he took advantage of the servant's inattention and quietly put the handkerchief into his sleeve.

Fu Yuxuan stood at the door, looking at Chen Peiting's departing back, and bit her lips slightly.

After the birthday banquet, Fu Xiaotian and Tao Ying, with their two daughters, walked happily towards the carriage in the corridor, preparing to leave the palace and return home.

Halfway through the journey, they learned that Madam Fu had vomited blood and fainted.

"My Lord, Madam Marquis, Old Madam Fu is now in the guest room of Fengzao Palace." A palace maid stopped Fu Yuzheng's family and reported the important matters.

After Fu Yuzheng learned the whole story, she covered her mouth with a handkerchief and laughed secretly.

That old hag has finally come to this day!

Live it!

Not to mention, when it comes to making people mad to the point of vomiting blood, Lady Lin, the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo, is still the best.

After hearing what the palace maid said, Tao Ying and Fu Xiaotian looked at each other. As son and daughter-in-law, they had no choice but to go to the guest house immediately to pick up Madam Fu and bring her back home.

After Fu Xiaotian carried the unconscious Madam Fu to the carriage, he discovered that the second son, Fu Jingxuan, was missing. He sent his servant to investigate and found out...

Fu Jingxuan was taken out of the palace by the Prime Minister, Mr. Chen, to socialize.

Fu Xiaotian frowned slightly: "This kid didn't come back home and didn't even send anyone to inform us." How rude.

Fu Yuzheng was not surprised. The people from the second house... were just like this.

Suddenly, Fu Yuzheng remembered that in her previous life, it was very likely that... Fu Jingxuan inherited her father's title, and she couldn't help feeling a little upset.

However, she suddenly had an idea and thought about her mother's difficult childbirth in the northwest. The medical technology in the northwest was backward, so it was normal that her mother's damaged body could not be restored.

Now that I'm back in the capital, there are many famous doctors and imperial physicians here. Maybe my mother still has a chance to get pregnant again, and maybe she will give birth to a younger brother.

In this way, wouldn't there be someone to inherit the title? No need to give it to the incompetent second wife.

So, Fu Yuzheng secretly pulled Daddy's sleeve behind her mother's back and suggested, "Dad, let's go to the palace tomorrow to invite a few doctors to take good care of Mom."

Fu Xiaotian was stunned at first. His wife was in good health, so why did she need to see a doctor?

But then she understood the hint from her little daughter who had placed her hand on her belly, and quickly responded, "That's what we should do."

In fact, in the first ten years, the couple had been seeking medical advice and visiting famous doctors in various parts of the northwest. After drinking the bitter black soup medicine that made people sick for ten years without any effect, Tao Ying gradually gave up.

Now, after being reminded by his little daughter, Fu Xiaotian regained hope. He immediately returned to the inner court and mentioned the matter to Emperor Jingde.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Jingde smiled and said, "It's a small matter. My dear minister, why didn't you tell me earlier? Let your wife come to the palace tomorrow. I will ask all the doctors in the Imperial Hospital to take turns to carefully examine your wife."

Isn’t it one or two imperial physicians?

But all the doctors in the Imperial Medical Bureau examined all of them one by one?

This treatment made Fu Xiaotian feel grateful to Emperor Jingde and ignited great hope in his heart.

Who knows, you might meet someone who can cure you!
