deadly mantra

Chapter 120 This is not the time to follow the rules

In the boudoir, there were more than a dozen stoves on the floor.

Ji Fanyin followed Ji Qianying, and a thin layer of sweat broke out on her forehead the moment she entered the room.

She looked around in confusion.

Four or five imperial doctors, with their brows furrowed and helpless, gathered around the desk, discussing something in whispers.

The temperature in the room was extremely hot, and it was now a scorching summer day. The imperial doctor eagerly waved to his servants to bring in a few more charcoal basins.

At this time, Concubine Luo came out of the inner room.

Her face was covered with a veil dampened by sweat, and her brows were filled with fatigue and worry.

When she saw Ji Fanyin, she was stunned for a moment, forced out a gentle smile, and winked at Ji Fanyin, telling her not to go in yet.

Ji Fanyin nodded clearly, turned and walked aside.

Concubine Luo Zi walked up to Ji Qianying and said something in a soft voice.

Ji Fanyin saw Ji Qianying's eyes filled with tears and rushed into the inner room.

She raised her eyebrows slightly, and when she saw Concubine Luo coming towards her, she raised her feet to meet her.

Concubine Luo Zi took Ji Fanyin's hand and walked behind the stone screen.

She took off the veil on her face, revealing a slightly haggard face:

"You came."

Ji Fanyin heard the fatigue in her voice, nodded and said:
"Well, it's not just me. Feng Benben and Chenchen are here. However, it's not convenient for them to come in and be in the yard with Li Mubai. What's wrong with Baozi?"

Concubine Luo Zi’s eyebrows tightened, and before she could answer, she sighed:
"After we separated from you at the Yamen Gate last night, we returned to Ji's Mansion. At Chou hour, we returned to Shandao League. At about three quarters of Chou hour, the maid who was serving Miss Bao came in and saw Miss Bao fainted. on the ground."

Ji Fanyin asked calmly:
"What did the doctor say?"

Concubine Luo Zi sighed:
"The doctors in the alliance looked at it carefully, but they didn't say anything. In a hurry, Alliance Leader Bao personally led the disciples in the alliance, knocked on the door of the shop, and called all the famous doctors in the city. 'Please' come back. But, still can't do anything."

She paused and said:
"I stayed up until this morning. Mrs. Bao hurried into the palace and asked for her life. Prince Li came with the imperial doctors."

"What was found?" Ji Fanyin asked.

Concubine Luo shook her head and said:
"It would be great if the cause of the disease could be found out. Miss Bao seemed to be asleep, breathing, but her body was as cold as ice. Mrs. Ji fainted from crying several times, and Mr. Ji also came to see her several times , I even asked for leave and didn’t go to the morning court.”

She racked her brains and recalled yesterday's events, but she still found nothing new, and she couldn't help but feel anxious:
"It shouldn't be. There must be something that I have overlooked. But what exactly is the problem? Why can't I remember it? I asked Mrs. Bao, and Baozi's physical fitness has always been very good."

Ji Fanyin thought for a while and asked tentatively:

"Could that be a potential problem?"

Concubine Luo shook her head:
"I have also considered this, but I have ruled it out."

Ji Fanyin's cheeks were already white and thin. After standing here for a short while, they were flushed red by the hot air in the room.

She tugged on her clothes to reveal her fair skin, looked around, and asked in confusion:
"Why are there so many braziers in the house? The windows are closed tightly. Isn't it hot?"

Hearing the sound, Concubine Luo Zi looked at Ji Fanyin's hot and dry look, and couldn't help but reveal a warm smile on her face.

She held the handkerchief with her beautiful hands, carefully wiped the sweat on Ji Fanyin's face, and explained:

"After you go in and see Miss Bao later, sneak out quietly, take a breath, and then come back in."

Ji Fanyin subconsciously wanted to avoid Luo Zifei's intimate actions.

The moment he stepped back, his back stiffened and he held back.

Concubine Luo Zi didn't notice anything strange about her. After wiping off the hot sweat, she thoughtfully put a handkerchief into Ji Fanyin's hand and whispered:

"Mrs. Bao and Mr. Bao are both inside."

Ji Fanyin lowered his head, stared at the handkerchief in his hand, and shook his head.

Concubine Luo Zi studied under the Miao nationality and has been dealing with medicinal herbs and poisonous insects all year round, so much so that her handkerchiefs were dyed with a faint aroma of medicinal herbs.

Not strong, but still smells good.Ji Fanyin could feel that the string in his heart was gently plucked.

She silently clenched the soft handkerchief, stuffed it into her sleeve, and silently followed Concubine Luo.

Concubine Luo Zi skillfully brought the veil to her face. After walking out of the stone screen, she turned back, glanced at Ji Fanyin, slowed down, and led Ji Fanyin into the inner room.

Inside, it's even hotter than outside.

Before Ji Fanyin reached the bed, she felt hot sweat dripping down her back and her clothes felt uncomfortably sticky to her body.

She raised her hand and was about to wipe her sweat when she felt a line of sight coming towards her.

She naturally lowered her hand that was raised in the air, and calmly met Ji Wenli's deep and scrutinizing gaze.

Ji Fanyin knew in her heart that with this glance, he was trying to guess whether there was any relationship between her and Baozi's illness.

Therefore, Ji Fanyin's expression remained unchanged and she nodded politely and distantly.

Ji Wenli stood up from the bed, his face softened slightly, and he showed an approachable smile:

"You're here."

"Yes." Ji Fanyin nodded and said, "Li Mubai came to Luoxia Residence to find us and said that something happened to Baozi. He brought us here without any explanation. What happened to Baozi?"

Hearing the words Li Mubai, Ji Wenli frowned, and the lines at the corners of his eyes instantly appeared:
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince likes to make friends, but the rules cannot be broken. You should call him Your Highness the Crown Prince."

Ji Fanyin smiled without emotion and said lightly:

"The person I made friends with is not the Crown Prince you mentioned. The person I know is named Li Mubai."

Ji Wenli's face darkened, and the seriousness in his eyes was extremely scary.

The aura of the elders of the Three Dynasties was not created by mixing mud.

Concubine Luo Zi stood aside and was shocked by the air pressure Ji Wenli exuded in an instant.

But she didn't speak for Ji Fanyin.

Because she didn't think Ji Fanyin was wrong.

Similarly, Ji Wenli was not wrong.

However, these two people stood in different positions and naturally had different attitudes towards Prince Li.

Concubine Luo Zi remained silent, but Mrs. Bao couldn't help but speak.

She looked at Ji Wenli, with deep sorrow in her eyes, and said tiredly:

"Okay, what time is it now? Let's put aside all the rules and regulations for the time being."

She turned her head and looked at Ji Fanyin:
"If Simu knew that you came to see her, she would be very happy. Ji Yatou, come here."

Ji Fanyin nodded politely towards Mrs. Bao and walked over.

Mrs. Bao sat on the stool beside the bed, leaned down slightly, gently grasped Bao Simu's hand outside the quilt with her right hand, smiled kindly, and said softly:

"Simu, look, who is here to see you."

Ji Fanyin walked to the bedside, raised her eyes, raised a smile on her lips, and looked towards the bed.

The next second, her smile condensed on her face and slowly disappeared.

Bed.

Bao Simu's eyes were closed tightly, her cheeks were red, her hair was soaked with sweat, and strands stuck to her cheeks.

Mrs. Bao put her left hand on the back of Bao Simu's hand and patted it a few times. With loving eyes, she said to herself:

"Simu, Ji Yatou is here to see you. Haven't you always told grandma that you and Ji Yatou are destined to be together and hope that grandma will adopt her as her granddaughter? Grandma promised you, but if you continue to sleep like this, grandma will I regret it."
