Chapter 25: Emerald Plate Crumbles, Lipstick Fragrance (5)

  I was stunned, thinking that it was just the first day of White Master's arrival, but unexpectedly, he turned out to be different from other guests, instead of being active at night and hiding during the day. According to what Dragon God said, if he were a monster, he should have come out at night, which makes him even more suspicious.

  As expected, on the second day, when delivering breakfast to the Smoke and Rain Pavilion, I caught a whiff of that intense fragrance in the front courtyard. Only then did I see that in the morning mist, White Gentleman, Cloud Comfort Young Lady, and Jade Evening Young Lady were leaning against each other, laughing and chatting as they gazed at a golden silk bird hanging from the beam.

  I had my doubts, Enke's scene of holding his sister was originally for the sake of a famous reputation for being infatuated with one person from beginning to end, and also avoided the trouble of competing for favor and jealousy. Moreover, yesterday, Mingming Gongzi and Beiluo girl were so affectionate, how could he change to another person by his side today?

  Yun Shu's maid, Xiao Xi, saw me coming and hurriedly took over the food box: "Thanks to Mei Cai for getting up early to send some pastries, what delicious things are there today?"

  "It's crystal shrimp meat buns and West Lake beef soup, accompanied by fragrant pickled snow vegetables, is Young Master Bai going to have a tea party at Cloud Comfort's place today?"

  The maid of Jade Evening, Sparrow, couldn't hide her pride and smiled: "Yes, let that Northern Fallen girl be proud for a while, but Young Master Bai still got along with our young lady. However, this delicious food is still a bargain for us. Ever since the three of them got together, it's as if they're wrapped in honey, Young Master Bai and the girls only drink tea and don't eat much."

  I remembered that yesterday, White Young Master only drank a bowl of mountain spring water and didn't even eat a single pastry. Dragon Well Young Master said he was a demon, but it also seemed like an exaggeration - who can really not partake in the worldly affairs of human life?

  Nowadays, Bai Gongzi has changed his companion, and I don't know how Beiluo's proud girl is doing.

  I nodded hastily: "Miss Yunshu and Miss Yuexi are indeed talented, but this young master doesn't eat anything. I served him yesterday and knew it already. But shouldn't Miss Yunshu and Miss Yuexi need to eat too......"

  "It's that old saying, when you have a loved one, drinking water is enough. Once you have a loving husband, who still has the heart to eat? Xiaoxiao scratched my nose: "Xiaomei, wait until you also meet your ideal husband, then you'll know."

  Like a well-behaved young master, he was as obedient as a piece of meat on a skewer, and even asked if he was full, which was truly unexpected.

  I was busy spreading out the snacks and then turned around to deliver them to another room.

  Not yet at the entrance of Beiluo's daughter, in the corridor I heard from afar the sound of things being smashed and people quarreling. I hurried over to take a look, my head not yet inside, when a porcelain plate with floral patterns flew out. I hastily dodged, and it brushed against my shoulder before smashing onto the opposite wall.

  Only to see the northern fallen girl with disheveled hair, sitting in front of the bed, still randomly grabbing things around her and smashing them. The usually elegant room was in a mess, big ceramic vases and small ceramic bowls, everything that could be lifted was smashed into powder. Xue Xi's eyes were red and swollen as she advised: "Girl, Bai Gongzi has already lost his heart, why are you tormenting yourself like this? We've seen many guests before, it's not like there won't be someone better than him in the future!"

  "I don't want a better one, I just want Bai Gongzi!" Beiluo girl was like a fierce ghost, gritting her teeth and saying: "It's obvious that Yunshu has no shame, using some trick to lure away Bai Gongzi while playing chess. Just you wait, I won't settle this account with her!"

  I hesitated for a moment, and had to go in, saying: "Miss, don't get angry, it's not worth getting angry, although Mei Cai doesn't understand things much, she also knows that guests come and go without constant rules. Miss has been at the Smoke Rain Pavilion for quite some time, naturally you should understand this, what's the point of doing this? First have something to eat, after gaining some energy we can talk about it later."

  "Look at you, you still don't know what happened. Yesterday, I and Bai Gongzi were... never mind. Last night when I came back, I went to change my clothes, and Yun Shu was chatting with Yu Xi outside, laughing and talking about who knows what, whether they were playing chess or not. Bai Gongzi was bored waiting for me, so he started chatting with those two girls. I don't know what kind of fox charm she used, but she managed to lure him away. No matter how I called out to him, he refused to come back."

  I saw Beiluo's complexion was not good, and she looked somewhat dispirited. I hastily asked: "Miss, don't tell me you're upset, why is your complexion so poor?"

  "Really?" Beiluo girl touched her face: "How come I didn't know?"

  "Miss, your complexion is really not good," Xue Xi also persuaded: "In the past two days with Bai Gongzi, I haven't eaten a single thing, only drinking some soup. How can you have a good complexion? Why don't you eat something and regain your energy? Then you'll have the strength to pull back Bai Gongzi. Now that you're weak and frail, how can you compete with those two girls?"

  Beidou girl stroked her forehead and said, "I didn't mention it before, but I really do feel a bit dizzy and my head is throbbing. It must be due to insufficient energy and blood..." As she spoke, she supported Xue Xi to stand up, but as soon as she straightened up, she fell backwards and fainted.

  I and Xue Xi were startled, hastily rubbing our temples and pinching the people in the middle. Xue Xi had never seen such a scene before and was already flustered. I quickly got up, didn't even have time to send the dessert, and ran all the way to Mr. Huang's Hui Chun Tang.

  When Mr. Huang arrived with his medicine box, the door of Beiluo's room was already surrounded by a group of sisters who were eager to see the excitement. Several sisters whispered to each other: "Look, she was proud for just a few days, and as soon as she lost favor, she became like this. Isn't it true that 'the dead demand repayment - she had it coming'?"

  "I didn't think much of her situation at first, but I had no idea she would lose her mind so quickly!"

  "Isn't it..."

  I didn't have time to listen, busy helping Mr. Huang squeeze through the crowd and rush into the house, the situation was critical, Mr. Huang also couldn't care about etiquette, without covering the curtain, just took his pulse, looked at his complexion, and suddenly said: "Strange..."

  Mr. Mo arrived early and saw Mr. Huang already there, so he hastily asked: "Mr. Huang, what's going on with this Northern Lodge?"

  Mr. Huang frowned and said: "It's strange, Beiluo girl doesn't seem to have any external injuries, so why does she look like she's lost a lot of blood?"

  "Excessive blood loss?" Mr. Mo was taken aback: "Sir, isn't this the severity of northern fallen qi and blood disorder?"

  Mr. Huang shook his head: "A while ago, Beiluo girl caught a cold, I diagnosed and treated her, but there was no qi and blood disorder. In just a few days, she became both qi and blood deficient to this extent, it's really unbelievable."

  Mr. Mo hastily said: "Never mind how she got sick, but I don't know how to treat her?"

  Mr. Huang said: "I'll prescribe some medicinal herbs, including donkey hide gelatin, red dates, and angelica, to nourish your body and replenish your qi and blood. Eat them well, and you should be fine."

  Mr. Mo hurriedly thanked him and personally escorted Mr. Huang out, paying the medical fee without mentioning it.

  This is also a strange thing, how did Beiluo girl suddenly become bloodless and weak? Could it be that the white young master used his magic to secretly suck Beiluo girl's blood? Thinking of this, I quickly ran towards Longshen Temple.
