As soon as Butterfly saw Ji Feiyu faint, he quickly stood up and supported her. He gently laid her back on the edge of the bed and started to press on her philtrum. He couldn't help but recall what the doctor had said before he left:
"The woman who had a miscarriage is inherently short of qi and blood. If she suddenly stands up, she is very likely to faint. You must be extremely careful!"
At that time, he thought it was an exaggeration, but now he had to believe it. He sighed and felt sorry for her once again in his heart. This woman seemed calm on the surface, but in fact, she was very vulnerable inside.
After he pressed on her philtrum for a while, Ji Feiyu woke up, but she was a bit disoriented.
Ji Feiyu asked, "What just happened? What's wrong with me?"
Butterfly replied, "You just fainted."
Ji Feiyu said, "Oh... And then?"
Butterfly said, "I supported you and laid you back on the edge of the bed."
Ji Feiyu: "..."
Butterfly said, "Your body is weak now. You can't be so reckless anymore."
Ji Feiyu felt a bit wronged. "I just wanted to watch the rain." At this moment, the sound of the rain was still very loud.
Butterfly said, "You can't be exposed to the wind, touch cold water, or take a bath. Your food should be warm and sufficient. Listen to me during this period. I don't want you to have any chronic ailments."
Ji Feiyu said, "Then can you detoxify the tendon-softening powder for me?"
Butterfly said, "I detoxified it for you long ago. You're just physically weak because of the miscarriage now."
Ji Feiyu: "..."
Butterfly sighed. "Stay here peacefully for this month. I'll go out every day to gather some information. There are maids in my courtyard. They'll take good care of you."
Ji Feiyu nodded and said quietly, "The baby didn't come into the world, but I'm already having the confinement."
Since the incident happened so suddenly, Ji Feiyu hadn't formed an emotional bond with the baby in her belly. However, this still made her very depressed. She hadn't been able to conceive in the palace for three years. But after being sent to the cold palace, she got pregnant, and then lost the baby after escaping from the cold palace. It was really ironic.
Originally, she was heartbroken because of Jinse's incident. But after a night's sleep, the joy of regaining freedom diluted this sadness. Now, the miscarriage diluted the joy of regaining freedom. Her mood was very complicated.
She didn't want to think about that scumbag man anymore, because just thinking about him would bring back a lot of bad memories, including Jinse's death. But the arrival and disappearance of this baby made her think of that scumbag man again. After all, it was a little life. It was gone just like that. She still felt a bit guilty and sad.
Seeing her lost in thought and silent, Butterfly was afraid that she might do something stupid, so he said, "Yu'er, we have to look forward. You'll have children in the future."
Ji Feiyu nodded. "I know."
Butterfly said, "Don't bear too much by yourself. You can tell me anything."
Ji Feiyu sighed. "So many things have happened recently. I need to sort out my thoughts. Give me some time for myself. I promise I won't suddenly stand up and run around anymore."
Butterfly nodded. "Okay. Then I'll go out first. Call me if you need anything."
Ji Feiyu nodded.
Butterfly opened the door and went out, then gently closed the door.
Ji Feiyu didn't want to recall what had happened before. She was very good at avoiding some things, which was to keep them in her heart and not think about them. That was why she could adjust herself within a few days after something big happened. She wasn't really open-minded and able to figure things out. Instead, she avoided them. If she really had to face these problems directly, she would be extremely painful. She had long known that behind her calm surface, her heart was already full of holes.
A few days passed. Butterfly went out to gather information several times, but there was nothing abnormal.
At that time, he didn't know that Yong Yaxuan had single - handedly suppressed the news of the queen's death.
In these days, Ji Feiyu's life was like being back in a cage again. She couldn't go out or move around freely.
"Ah, this life is so boring!" Ji Feiyu couldn't help shouting.
Butterfly, on the other hand, bought some new and interesting things for her from time to time and tried to buy some delicious food she could eat from the restaurant.
Ji Feiyu said, "Butterfly, don't you think my life is boring?"
Butterfly said, "I accompany you every day, and you still think it's boring. Are your requirements too high?"
Ji Feiyu said, "What's the difference between my life now and before? I'm still a canary!"
Butterfly said, "Oh my god, my beauty! You're having the confinement now. Can it be compared with before? Do you think I don't want to take you out? But we have to listen to the doctor!"
Ji Feiyu thought for a while. "How about calling the maids in and playing pai gow together?"
Butterfly smiled. "I'm willing to play if there's no betting. Forget it if there is."
Ji Feiyu said, "We can stick paper strips on our faces."
"Okay, let's do it like this!"
Just like this, with the fun of pai gow and the joy of having paper strips all over their faces, a month passed quickly. Ji Feiyu finally recovered and could be free.
Butterfly had already prepared a carriage to leave the city. At the same time, he changed his and Ji Feiyu's makeup.
In the room, Ji Feiyu stared at Butterfly motionlessly, letting him smear some ointment on her face randomly and then stick on a human - skin mask.
"So, what on earth are you going to disguise me as?" Ji Feiyu looked at the smile on his lips impatiently and thought this guy must be up to no good.
Sure enough, after he finished, Ji Feiyu went to look at herself in the mirror and commented on her appearance. "Who told you to make me look so shy? Aren't you just waiting for me to be flirted with as soon as I go out?"
But while sticking on his own mask, he said casually, "I, the young master, love beautiful things. I want all beautiful things. Since I'm so suave, the woman beside me naturally can't be inferior!"
Ji Feiyu was a bit dissatisfied. "But we're kind of running away now. It's not really a sightseeing trip. Isn't it a bit too ostentatious?"
But Butterfly didn't seem to care. He said leisurely, "You're wrong if you think like this. Even if that guy finds out you've run away, he must think we'll be low - key. So the more ostentatious we are, the less likely we'll be suspected."
After saying that, he finished sticking on the mask, turned around, opened his folding fan, and smiled at Ji Feiyu. "How about me now, young master?"
Ji Feiyu saw that his eyes were full of charm and his eyebrows were like peach blossoms. He had transformed into a suave young man. She was really a bit helpless and just said, "It's okay."
Hearing this, he stepped forward and pulled Ji Feiyu. They squeezed in front of the bronze mirror together. He admired and said, "Oh, we're really a perfect match. Now we're a husband and wife. How about calling me husband?"
Ji Feiyu took his fan and hit him hard on the head. Butterfly laughed loudly. Then he bowed and said, "My name is Ji Moren. I'll ask for your advice from now on, wife!"
Ji Feiyu was quite helpless.
But Butterfly still pretended to be a scholar in the room, walking back and forth and chattering. It seemed that he was going to put on a big show.
