"Go and call over the maidservant from before." Princess Xiao gathered her sleeves, stood up straight and spoke.
The nanny bowed and retreated.
A moment later, the door opened from the outside and the nanny came in carrying a tray.
"The princess' medicine is here."
Princess Xiao sat on the chaise longue opposite the bed, stood up and tidied her clothes, reached out to take the medicine bowl on the tray, and held the bowl to the side of Xiao Qingmu's bed.
She sat down on a low stool beside her, gently fiddled with the spoon, and fed the medicine into Xiao Qingmu's mouth spoon by spoon.
"The effect of this medicine is not enough. You will have to add more later." Princess Xiao stared at the brown medicine juice overflowing from the corner of Xiao Qingmu's mouth and wiped it with a handkerchief.
"Princess, the doctor said this amount is just right. If we add more, I'm afraid... if the person dies and the prince finds out..." The nanny was obviously a little panicked.
Princess Xiao was very upset. She glanced at the nanny and asked, "Where is he?"
The nanny winked at the maid outside, and the maid came over carrying someone.
The maid was one of the ones guarding the gate just now, "Princess, spare my life!"
She was so frightened that her legs were shaking and she knelt on the ground begging for mercy from Princess Xiao.
"This princess is asking you, have you fed the young lady medicine on time recently?" Princess Xiao stared at her and said in a cold voice.
"If you don't answer honestly, I will have your tongue cut off."
"Princess, please spare my life. I don't have the courage to do that. I always feed you medicine on time and never miss a beat." The maidservant knelt on the ground and cried for mercy, her head banging against the ground again and again.
"Princess, there are so many of your spies around the young lady. Even if she has eight hundred guts, this maid would not dare to accompany you to do this." The nanny beside her persuaded.
"Maybe the young lady wanted to wake up on her own."
Princess Xiao was silent for a moment, then glared at the maid, "I don't think she would dare!"
The nanny waved her hand at the people around her and said in a cold voice, "Take him away quickly and don't show up in front of the princess."
After the person was taken away, Princess Xiao leaned over and touched the square pillow that Xiao Qingmu's head was resting on, "This pillow should be changed."
"I will have someone change it tomorrow."
"Okay, I've seen the patient and given him medicine, so I'll go back first." Princess Xiao stood up and gathered her robes, glancing at the woman who was still sleeping on the bed.
"You and these two maids keep a close eye on this girl."
Princess Xiao turned her head and glared at the maid, then said, "Mammy, you've been with me for twenty years. I believe I've never treated you unfairly..."
The nanny said, "Princess, you have been very kind to me and are my benefactor. If it weren't for you, I would have died long ago. Don't worry, even if it costs me my life, I will always stand by your side."
Princess Xiao was very satisfied when she heard her words. "Don't worry, I won't treat you unfairly, and I will definitely not let you get away with this."
She turned and walked out. The nanny behind her bowed to Princess Xiao and said, "This servant respectfully sees you off, Princess."
The nanny watched the door close, slowly crawled back from the ground, and walked quickly to the bed.
Dark brown medicinal juice was overflowing from Xiao Qingmu's mouth, and she quickly reached out to wipe Xiao Qingmu's mouth.
Then she lifted up Xiao Qingmu's sleeves and looked at the blue and purple bruises on her fair and tender arms. Her eyes turned red with heartache.
He quickly turned around and took out the ointment from the cabinet next to him, opened the lid and applied it to Xiao Qingmu's bruise.
"Squeak!" The door was opened again.
The nanny was so frightened that the ointment in her hand fell onto the bed.
She nervously covered the plaster with the quilt and immediately stood up to look outside.
"Mammy." The person who came was the maid from before.
Mammy heaved a sigh of relief when she saw who came in, "Lianxue."
Lianxue came over and saw Xiao Qingmu's arm. She burst into tears and choked with sobs, "Mammy, what should we do? Miss... Miss has been bullied by the princess like this."
"If this continues, I don't know how long the young lady can hold on."
"Why don't we tell the prince all this? He loves the young lady so much. If he knew, he would definitely not allow the princess to bully the young lady like this." Lianxue walked to the side of Xiao Qingmu's bed and gently touched the bruise on Xiao Qingmu's arm.
I couldn't help but feel distressed. Miss used to be most afraid of pain. If she could feel it, it would be so painful.
"No, there are many people planted by the princess in the backyard. If we show any abnormality, we will probably be taken away before we even see the prince."
Lian Xue said, "Then when the prince comes to see the young lady..."
The nanny flatly rejected the idea, saying, "That won't work either. The princess is always cautious. She always avoids pinching the young lady in obvious places. If we rashly accuse her of bullying her, she will accuse us of not caring enough and order us to be executed."
There are differences between men and women, even between fathers and daughters. The prince cannot see these places normally and has no idea that these injuries are formed over the years.
They also had no evidence to prove that the princess bullied the young lady. Even if the prince had suspicions, he would only think that they, the servants, had not taken good care of their master.
"Then we can give the medicine prescribed by the doctor to the prince. If the prince sends a doctor to check it out, he will find that there is something wrong with the medicine." Lianxue said.
Mammy shook her head. "There's nothing wrong with this medicine. I secretly left the house and asked someone to check it out."
"Besides, since the prince loves the young lady so much, he will definitely be extra careful with the medication. He should have asked someone to check it out."
Lianxue frowned, "But...but why, every time after taking the medicine, the young lady's condition gets worse and worse."
"A while ago, when I was wiping her body, she opened her eyes and even moved her hands. Now she seems to be back to her old self."
The nanny sighed, took out the ointment from the quilt, and gently rubbed it on Xiao Qingmu's fair and tender skin.
"I've been with the princess for twenty years, and she still doesn't trust me. Wait..."
Sooner or later, she will avenge the young lady and the eldest daughter.
She has been waiting by Princess Xiao's side for twenty years, so it won't hurt to wait a little longer.
"Madame Cai, who is beside the princess, is seriously ill. She is very suspicious and naturally dares not employ outsiders. Now that she has me by her side to serve her personally, it is also to further gain her trust in me."
As long as the princess trusts her, it will be much easier to find evidence against her.
Lianxue nodded: "Yes, Ma'am, please be careful."
"Miss, please wake up soon. If you don't wake up, this palace will soon become the princess's alone."
Lianxue pulled Xiao Qingmu aside and said, "The prince is often not at home, so everything in the mansion is decided by the princess..."

On the other side, Ruan Jingye taught Xiao Shunan for two days, and Xiao Shunan basically mastered it.
Two cars stopped inside Ruan Manor. Ruan Jingye sat in the passenger seat of the SUV, his face a little gloomy. He unbuckled his seatbelt and said, "Not bad, this is fine."
"Could you drive slower? This isn't a sports car. You're driving it so fast it's about to fly off the guardrail." He was so frightened that his legs went weak, fearing that the kid would accidentally fall off the guardrail.
Xiao Shun soothed the steering wheel, scratching his head with a red face, "Oh oh oh, okay, I get it."
From the time he started racing until now, the excitement and excitement in his heart have not dissipated.
