THE REVENGE OF FOX CONSORT
CHAPTER 45. Herbaceous
***House of General Li Jin***
In the morning Ying Ying was already presentable and enjoying breakfast in her room. Li Chang Le's spirit sat beside Ying Ying, precisely on an empty seat.
Last night Ying Ying asked Li Chang Le's spirit to freely walk out of the bell pendulum while they were in the room. Even Li Chang Le's spirit slept with Ying Ying just like when Ying Ying was still in the form of a white fox.
The two of them chatted all night. Li Chang Le's spirit told about his childhood, while Ying Ying also told of his past while still in the form of a white fox.
The two of them became closer and took each other's vows to become brother and sister. Spirit Li Chang Le as brother and Ying Ying as sister.
Today Ying Ying was planning to go to the medicinal shop to buy some kind of herb because Ying Ying wanted to practice making concoction medicine with the medical magic and potions possessed by her.
Although Li Chang had been ill for the past five years and was abnormal, Bai Lu had given him a stipend every month and kept in his room.
Li Chang Le's spirit asked Ying Ying to use her savings to buy herbs. Ying Ying did not reject Li Chang Le's goodwill.
Ying Ying and Li Chang Le's spirit chuckled as they listened to the story regarding Chang Ru's current state from Tan Xiang's mouth.
The night after Ying Ying and Tan Xiang entered the house, Bai Lu ordered A Niu and A Lim to lift Chang Ru up on a stretcher.
Chen Chen Chen and A Ling helped clean up Chang Ru's dirty body and replaced it with new hanfu, while Bai Lu waited for Physician Chang's arrival to treat the slap wound on Chang Ru's face.
Physician Chang gave the best concoction ointment, but the swelling on Chang Ru's face took about seven days to heal.
Therefore, Chang Ru had to wear a veil to cover her face so that Chang Ru shut herself inside the room.
"It's good that Chang Ru is in the room and can't look for trouble anymore. If Chang Ru still desperately wanted to harm me, my punishment would be heavier than last night" Ying Ying said casually.
"Heavy punishment?" inner Tan Xiang while imagining the swollen face of Chang Ru last night.
Tan Xiang admitted that the punishment for Chang Ru last night was indeed less severe compared to Chang Ru's crime, but it greatly embarrassed Chang Ru.
"Some one's coming!" ying Ying said in a voice that only Tan Xiang could hear.
Tan Xiang nodded his head in understanding omens.
The magic power obtained from Qing Qiu yesterday made Ying Ying no need to hide the long-range hearing ability from Tan Xiang anymore.
Tan Xiang opened the room door after hearing a knock from outside.
"What's A Niu?" ask Tan Xiang.
"Dayang Fu delivered a gift from Prince Wei Bu Yi," replied A Niu.
"Gift from Miss Yi!" muttered Ying Ying.
Ying Ying smiled widely and walked out of the room quickly. Li Chang Le and Tan Xiang's spirits followed from behind.
Dayang Fu and some of the young ladies of the House of Prince Wei Bu Yi were already outside the room with a few boxes in their hands.
"Hamba saluted Wang Fei!"
A Niu stood pecking with his mouth wide open. A Niu did not expect all of the servants in the Wei Bu Yi House to have the utmost respect for Ying Ying and greeted her with Wang Fei's call.
Ying Ying is engaged to Prince Wei Bu Yi. A Niu remained there due to getting orders from Bai Lu. A Niu became a spy and would report everything to Bai Lu later.
"Darling Fu! Didn't Miss Yi leave?" ask Ying Ying.
"Yes, Wang Fei! Prince Wei Bu Yi had already left last night, but before leaving Prince Wei Bu Yi gave a message to deliver a gift to Wang Fei!"
"Gift?"
"Ke-4 new hanfu is finished sewn. In addition Prince Wei Bu Yi also bought some ready-made hanfu and jewelry for Wang Fei," Dayang Fu replied.
"All right! All gifts can be brought to my room!"
"Okay, Wang Fei!"
***
Moments later, Dayang Fu and the young ladies came home. They were escorted out by A Niu.
A Niu immediately looked for Bai Lu to report everything after making sure Dayang Fu's entourage had gone far away.
"Miss Chang Le! The gifts from Prince Wei Bu Yi were very beautiful and expensive!"
Ying Ying only smiled faintly hearing Tan Xiang's words. Ying Ying's pair of clear eyes focused on staring at the four medium-sized boxes.
The size of the four boxes was not the same as the boxes containing hanfu or jewelry so that made Ying Ying curious.
Ying Ying opened one of the boxes and chuckled so much that Tan Xiang came to see what the contents of the box Ying Ying opened.
"Herbal plant?"
"Yes!"
Ying Ying opened the other three boxes. The four boxes contained different herbs, some were even rare and hundreds of years old.
"Ying Ying! Prince Wei Bu Yi is very attentive to you. Whatever the content of your heart and mind, can be guessed by it," joked Li Chang Le's spirit.
Ying Ying's face reddened hearing Li Chang Le's spirit's words. Ying Ying did not expect Wei Bu Yi to know what she wanted to do today.
Ying Ying couldn't wait to use the magic power of his medical science and potions right now.
"Tan Xiang's! Watch outside the room and ban anyone who wants to see me!"
"Okay, Miss Chang Le!"
***li Chang Ru's room***
Bai Lu was in Li Chang Ru's room when A Niu came to report on what gifts Dayang Fu had brought for Li Chang Le.
Of course A Niu did not know about the box containing the herbs because Dayang Fu did not say it directly.
Wei Bu Yi knew that the servants of Li Jin Residence had only listened to orders from Bai Lu, thus forbidding Dayang Fu from opening all four boxes containing herbs.
The less people who knew about Ying Ying's magic power, then Ying Ying would be safer. Hence, Dayang Fu only reported the contents of the gift that she knew when Ying Ying asked her.
"Prince Wei Bu Yi sent another gift to Chang Le?"
PRANGS!
Chang Ru threw the swallow nest soup bowl that Bai Lu had brought to the floor of the room. Then both of his hands held the swollen cheeks that were still painful.
"Mother! Why don't you punish Chang Le? My face is hurt because of him!"
"Chang Ru, your face is injured by the influence of black magic."
Last night Bai Lu couldn't sleep well because he remembered Ying Ying's words about black magic and the assassins who were after Wei Bu Yi.
Bai Lu recalled the battle between Wei Kingdom and Western Wu Kingdom. At that time the Western Wu Kingdom General and some of the best warriors used black magic.
Coincidentally at that time Wei Bu Yi was in a prime condition. Wei Bu Yi was hit hard by the news of Queen Xu's death and wanted to return home to the Kingdom of Wei.
Although Wei Bu Yi was severely wounded, his forces managed to win so that eventually Emperor Wu was willing to withdraw his troops and promised not to attack the Kingdom of Wei again.
Five major cities belonging to the Western Wu Kingdom were taken over by the Eastern Wei Kingdom as a consequence of the war.
Therefore, the hatred of the Western Wu Kingdom towards Wei Bu Yi was beyond doubt. It was just that this was the first time they dared to appear in the Wei Kingdom to kill Wei Bu Yi.
Bai Lu had a feeling that the war between Wei Kingdom and Western Wu Kingdom would be repeated. Though the alliance envoy from the Northern Han Kingdom will arrive in the near future along with the return of General Li Jin's entourage.
