Chapter 108 The truth in the disease
Yu Ren quickly put Zhao Rui's little hand in his palm. Try to say to her in a calm tone, "Don't worry! You are just a minor illness. I have asked the prison guard to bring a message to Chen Chengzu and ask him to invite a doctor. Don't worry, as long as you take the medicine prescribed by the doctor, your illness will be cured soon. Now, don't think about anything, just close your eyes and have a good rest."
Zhao Rui was very obedient, so she closed her eyes and fell asleep. Yu Ren changed her several wet cloths for her, but Zhao Rui's fever never subsided. Seeing that all lunch had been delivered, but there was no sign of Chen Chengzu, Yu Ren couldn't help but get anxious. He asked the prisoner again. The prisoner said that he had already passed the words to him, and Young Master Chen also rewarded him with two cents of silver!
Yu Ren had no choice but to wait patiently. Zhao Rui suddenly had a fever and Yu Ren had no intention of eating. The steamed buns he sent in at noon were all neatly placed on the low table.
After a while, Zhao Rui woke up and said she wanted to drink water. Yu Ren asked the prison guard for water and served her to drink it. Zhao Ruixian was a little more energetic.
"I'm so sorry! Brother Yu. Originally, I should have served you, but I didn't expect you to serve me."
Yu Ren helped Zhao Rui lay down again and said, "Don't say that. We are friends! If you are friends, you should share the blessings and suffer difficulties. When I was sick, you served me for so many days without any clothes. Now I have only served you for a while. If you really count it, I still owe you a lot!"
After hearing this, Zhao Rui's face appeared with a smile. "Just now, I dreamed of my mother."
Yu Ren thought Zhao Rui was homesick, so he comforted him. "Don't worry. We won't stay here for a long time. Believe me, we will be able to go home soon and see your mother."
Zhao Rui looked into Yu Ren's eyes. "Really?"
"Really! Believe me!" Yu Ren knew that the patient needed encouragement the most. Although he himself didn't believe what he said, in order to comfort Zhao Rui, Yu Ren still looked full of confidence.
Zhao Rui's eyes indeed showed a trace of shinyness. However, the shinyness soon darkened again. "Even if I get home, I can't see my mother anymore. Because my mother has passed away long ago. My father said that my mother died shortly after I was born. I have never seen her look like. Many times, I dreamed of her in my dreams, but I can't see her face clearly."
Seeing that Zhao Rui's voice became weaker and afraid that she would be too tired, Yu Ren advised, "You need to rest now and have a nap. Once you wake up, your illness will be cured."
Zhao Rui refused to sleep. "I'm afraid, I'm afraid that once I fall asleep, I will never have the chance to talk to you again."
Yu Ren was shocked by Zhao Rui's words, and an ominous premonition surged into his heart. He quickly comforted him, "How could it be! You are just a minor illness. Even if there is no doctor, you can still survive it. I still hope that after you recover from your illness, we will go out to see Su Di Chunxiao together!"
Yu Ren's words seemed to have some effect. Zhao Rui's face turned rosy. After a while, Zhao Rui suddenly asked, "Brother Yu, tell me the truth. If there were no Miss Li, would you marry me?"
Yu Ren didn't expect that Zhao Rui would suddenly ask herself this question at this time. If she were normal, with Zhao Rui's personality, even if she died, she wouldn't have asked such a explicit question.
Yu Ren looked at Zhao Rui's expectant eyes and nodded slightly.
"Really?" Zhao Rui seemed a little unbelievable.
"Really!" This time, Yu Ren answered from the bottom of his heart.
A light flashed in Zhao Rui's eyes again, and she stared at Yu Ren's eyes quietly.
After a while, Zhao Rui suddenly turned her head. "It's a pity that I can't marry you!" After saying that, a trace of cunning flashed in her eyes, as if she finally played Yu Ren, and she was very happy.
"Why?" Yu Ren was puzzled. In fact, Yu Ren had already seen Zhao Rui's thoughts about him. However, because of Li Ying, Yu Ren had been avoiding Zhao Rui intentionally or unintentionally. Now everyone has finally had a showdown, but he didn't expect Zhao Rui to say such words.
"Because Senior Brother Yang and I have an engagement!" Zhao Rui's expression suddenly became dark when she said this.
Yu Ren suddenly realized that no wonder Yang Ju had always had an abnormal attitude towards Zhao Rui before. Yu Ren had originally guessed that the relationship between them was not ordinary, but it turned out to be an unmarried couple.
Upon hearing this news, Yu Ren's heart suddenly felt a little sore for no reason. Yu Ren quickly reminded himself in his heart that you already have Li Ying and you should not be greedy for the sake of the future. However, even though rationality is so, this feeling is still uncontrollable.
Seeing Yu Ren's uncomfortable look, Zhao Rui seemed very happy.
"You said, how great it would be if we stayed here for the rest of our lives and didn't go out!" Zhao Rui said as if she was talking to herself.
Yu Ren suddenly woke up and remembered the reality in front of him. But looking at Zhao Rui's spirit, even though she had said so long, she seemed to be better than before. Yu Ren's heart was slightly relieved.
I don’t know how long it took, but a doctor hurried into the cell under the guidance of the prison guard with a medicine box on his back.
Seeing that the doctor finally came, Yu Ren was overjoyed.
This time the person who came here was no longer Doctor An, but an old man in his sixties, with his surname Luan.
"Doctor Luan, how is my friend's illness?" Yu Ren was a little anxious.
"Following the pulse, it should be caused by cold. However, it has passed the peak period. I will prescribe a few more medicines for you and it will be cured soon."
After saying that, Dr. Luan wrote a prescription on the low table and handed him over to the prison guard. "It's okay once a day, just one morning and evening. Now you can boil her a pair first."
Dr. Luan was prescribed for a prescription and packed the medicine box and went out. Yu Ren thanked him and sent Dr. Luan to the prison door, but Dr. Luan went without looking back.
The prison guard was really good, so he brought a decocted medicine soon. Deputy Yu Ren served Zhao Rui and drank it.
After taking the medicine, Zhao Rui closed her eyes and fell asleep. However, Yu Ren did not dare to leave and stayed by the bed.
After the last ray of sunset also left the cell, Zhao Rui's fever finally subsided. This time, Yu Ren was completely relieved.
After a while, a strange prisoner brought a food box in. When Yu Ren saw another food box in, he was not polite, so he took it in and placed it on the low table. After Zhao Rui woke up and ate it with her. Seeing the steamed buns on the table, Yu Ren remembered that he hadn't eaten for a day.
So I picked up the steamed buns on the table and ate three voraciously.
Suddenly hearing a "puff" chuckle from behind, Yu Ren quickly turned around. But he saw that Zhao Rui was awake and was staring at him with his eyes.
"You're awake! It's great. They just happened to send another food box over, and I'll help you get up and eat it!" Yu Ren said, lifting the food box to the head of the bed and lifting the lid.
This time, it was much more abundant than what Chen Chengzu brought last time. There were actually six side dishes and a small pot of wine.
Zhao Rui was supported by Yu Ren and sat on the wall at the head of the bed. "Is Chen Chengzu here again?"
"No. It was sent by an unknown jailer." Yu Ren said casually.
Yu Ren said while trying to pick up a piece of fried meat slices with chopsticks and put them into Zhao Rui's mouth. Since the injury on his finger has not healed yet, picking up chopsticks is really painful for him.
Zhao Rui became more careful at this time. She asked Yu Ren to put down the meat first, then pulled out a silver hairpin from her head and inserted it into the dish.
Yu Ren didn't understand Zhao Rui's intention at first. However, when he saw the silver rope in Zhao Rui's hand slowly turning black, he suddenly understood.
This shock was extraordinary. If Zhao Rui hadn't been too scrupulous just now, I'm afraid that she and Zhao Rui would have been poisoned and died of death at this time.
"How could this happen?" Yu Ren was a little confused.
Zhao Rui didn't say anything, and looked outside the door first. Seeing that there was no one outside the door, she said softly to Yu Ren. "Maybe it was the one who was surnamed Liao who sent him to do it. When he saw that you refused to confess, he would come up with this bad strategy. As long as you die, he could say that you committed suicide fearing the crime. At that time, he could use this to implicate the case on me, and finally achieve the goal of ruining our Zhao family.
Now you cover the food box immediately. Pretend that we have no appetite and put the food box back on the table. From now on, no matter what we eat, we must first check it with a silver hairpin before eating it to avoid poisoning."
Yu Ren stopped talking, and he knew that Zhao Rui was right. Although this matter seemed to have nothing to do with Prefect Liao, it was his territory after all, and his suspicion was the greatest.
If the Prefect Liao really wanted to kill them, then they would not be far from their death period. Although they were able to see through the poisoning this time, there were countless ways to kill them. They had no way to prevent them.
