A lazy bum transmigrates and marries a eunuch – it's awesome!

Chapter 161 Wake up

Seeing He Zhang have the door locked and sealed, several maids burst into tears, which even the usually composed July couldn't understand.

If you're sick, you should see a doctor and have someone take good care of you; there's no need to lock yourself up.

With no food, no water, and no one to care for her, isn't this just leaving the lady to fend for herself?

But since it was the lady's order, she couldn't object, and she was helpless except for feeling anxious and frustrated.

Finally, the four maids discussed it and decided that two of them would stand guard at the door day and night.

Firstly, any disturbances could be detected promptly; secondly, it would prevent the presence of only men in the courtyard from damaging the lady's reputation.

Also, keep an eye on Young Master He; who knows if he might harm Madam to avenge Young Master Ye?

Coincidentally, the secret guards and He Zhang thought the same thing, but they were both on guard against the other two groups of people.

Even He Zhang and Ye Xiao temporarily moved into the side rooms of the courtyard, with one keeping watch during the day and the other at night.

As expected, triangles are the most stable shape. Now, no matter which side wants to enter the house, the other two groups will definitely stop them.

Inside the house, Jiang Xinyu lay on the ground, letting her body get wet, dry, wet again, and then burn into a ball of fire.

The first two days were uneventful. On the third day, the gatekeeper received an invitation to a banquet. Fearing that his wife's condition would be revealed, He Zhang put on a show.

It doesn't take much effort; just find an empty room in the main courtyard, place a few Buddha statues, burn some sandalwood incense, and set up a Buddhist shrine.

Then, place a bed in the inner room and let Chunxing pretend to be the lady and invite the imperial physician to come and examine her.

It doesn't matter which imperial physician it is, Chunxing has been so anxious and stressed these past two days that she can't sleep at night, her eyes are turning blue and her lips are blistered.

This case study is perfectly fitting for the worried wife of the supervisor.

As for her appearance, with a little makeup and the curtains drawn, no imperial physician would be so tactless as to insist on looking at the lady's face.

In this way, the lady could legitimately ignore everything outside and could brush off anyone who came.

He Zhang was indeed quick-witted; after a series of arrangements, the news that Chief Supervisor Xiao's wife had fallen ill from worrying about her husband and praying for him day and night was confirmed.

Besides boosting my popularity, it also prevented anyone from visiting.

Our wife is already tired; wouldn't your visit only make her more exhausted?

Therefore, he closed the door and refused to see anyone.

The Left Prime Minister just smiled and didn't care when he received the news, which was a good thing for them.

The longer someone stays out of the public eye, the more convincing the fake seems. It would be more reasonable for Yan Fei to travel thousands of miles to find her husband if Xiao Yuan had other informants in the capital who reported this news to him.

Although Jin Zekang did not believe that Jiang Xinyu was really sick, he still sent his bodyguard to see her out of concern for his best friend.

Good, no one was seen.

Even the door was sealed and locked.

Although the two of them would engage in sharp-tongued banter and relentlessly attack each other's weaknesses upon meeting, even enemies are still friends.

His Highness Prince An, believing that Jiang Xinyu had been ambushed by Ye Xiao, actually brought several guards to her door.

The excuse was quite legitimate: I suspected you had harmed your godmother, so I came to check if she was still alive.

That straight shot almost hurt Ye Xiao's back; if He Zhang hadn't stopped him, he would have really wanted to curse.

What did he say? That Prince An and that woman are definitely not innocent. If it were just a business relationship, why would he be so attentive?

No, he'll still complain when his godfather comes back.

Even if that woman didn't cheat on her godfather, Prince An still had the intention of stealing his wife.

Why would he be so concerned about someone else's wife? As soon as he heard that the woman was sick, he immediately sent someone to see her, and when he didn't find her, he even came to her door.

Is a prince so free?

Ye Xiao's idea is somewhat unreasonable. Even in a simple business relationship, it's only natural for someone to care whether their partner is still alive.

He Zhang could only appease Ye Xiao first and then called on Qi Yue and the secret guards to testify that their chief eunuch's wife was really just in seclusion.

Seeing that Prince An did not believe him, He Zhang said helplessly, "Your Highness, since you know that our lady asked you for a large amount of qi and blood-tonifying herbs, don't you find it strange?"

At the normal dosage, that much ginseng would last for two years even if used by the entire household.

In reality, most of the medicinal herbs you sent have already been consumed, and they were all eaten by Madam alone.

Although I don't understand what kind of skill Madam practices, that's the truth. This time, Madam lied to the outside world that she was sick because she was in seclusion.

We don’t know exactly when he will wake up. If His Highness Prince An is really worried, he can leave someone here to keep an eye on things.

"Rest assured, even if Xiao Ye is reckless, he wouldn't dare mistreat Madam when the Chief Supervisor is not around."

He Zhang's words were reasonable and well-founded, and there was nothing wrong with them. Prince An's gaze darted back and forth between him and Ye Xiao several times before finally leaving.

This kid is smart and can keep Xiao Yuan's godson in check. With him around, it's unlikely that Ye Xiao will imprison Jiang Xinyu.

After all, Xiao Yuan had only gone out, not died. Attacking Jiang Xinyu at this time would only bring harm and no benefit.

Ye Xiao might do something irrational in a moment of passion and anger, but someone as meticulous as He Zhang wouldn't make such a simple mistake.

Then let's wait and see. He was also curious about what kind of thing this woman could develop after consuming so much of his ginseng and deer antler.

Five more days passed, and just when everyone was exhausted and mentally drained, Jiang Xinyu finally woke up.

When Jiang Xinyu woke up, she was still a little dazed for a moment, and her most immediate feeling was that she was completely weak.

I don't know if this awakening of my superpower was a success or not, but the feeling right now is quite similar to the last time I awakened my superpower.

Jiang Xinyu felt white powder fall off her body as soon as she moved, and she laughed when she saw it.

No wonder I feel weak all over; I'm lacking salt.

The constant sweating and evaporation caused her to lose a lot of sodium and potassium, leaving a layer of salt powder on her skin.

In her current state, she definitely couldn't activate her superpowers. Jiang Xinyu forced herself to sit up and slid the teacup on the table to the ground. The crisp sound immediately attracted the attention of the guards at the door.

Her throat was so dry that she couldn't shout, but luckily the guards had good hearing. Hearing what the lady said, they quickly broke down the door.

At this moment, Qiyue and Chunxing were guarding the door. As soon as they saw the lady's disheveled state, their eyes immediately reddened.

Jiang Xinyu quickly waved her hand, "Wait a while before you cry, go get me a big cup of warm water with salt and sugar."

"I also need bathwater, ginseng soup, and clean clothes. Please also inform He Zhang and Ye Xiao."

Seeing that his wife was clear-headed in July, he happily agreed and quickly went to make the arrangements.

A short while later, the sugar and salt water was served, and Jiang Xinyu drank a whole bowl of it before she felt alive again.

The rest of the things will have to wait a while, but He Zhang and Ye Xiao arrived first.

The two children were taken aback when they saw Jiang Xinyu's disheveled appearance. Ye Xiao blinked in confusion.

"Why do I feel like you're a pickled radish? Have you mastered some kind of divine skill?"

Just two days ago he was calling her "godmother," but now he's all "you" and "me." Jiang Xinyu felt it was necessary to teach this kid a lesson before leaving.

Jiang Xinyu's eyes were always easy to read. Ye Xiao saw through her subtext and unconsciously moved his wheelchair behind He Zhang to hide.

But he was still unconvinced after he had just dodged it.

Why is this woman so assertive? He hasn't even asked Prince An why he cares about her so much yet.

He sends his bodyguards over every few days to ask questions, so he probably doesn't care much about his wife.

Wait a minute, it seems Prince An doesn't have a wife.

That guy died after three of his fiancées and then became a bachelor. I heard he saw through the illusions of the world and doesn't even have a concubine.

Now we've found out, that old bastard was up to no good.
