When Concubine Su Gui saw Jiuzhu coming out, she turned her head to glance at Xiangxian. Xiangxian shook her head slightly. It was not them who called out Miss Ming.
She immediately smiled and said, "Jiuzhu is right. Although Concubine Ning made mistakes, her offspring will not be blamed. Xiangshen, send someone to the Imperial Hospital to invite the doctor who is best at treating wounds."
"I will obey the order of the noble concubine." Xiangshen bowed with a smile, walked to the side, and said in a neither loud nor low voice: "The noble concubine is worried about the injury of the prince of Qi, why don't you quickly invite the imperial physician."
"Ning Fei." Su Guifei looked at Ning Fei kneeling on the ground with great sorrow and anguish: "As a mother, why don't you persuade Xie Yanze to kneel with you? If this gets out, people will think that I, the Guifei, am deliberately making things difficult for the prince."
At this point, she sighed, "Look, the child's face has turned pale from the pain. Du Qing, help your fourth brother up quickly. Help him sit in the room. Xiangshen, get a soft cushion. Don't touch Yanze's wound."
"Fourth brother, please stand up." Prince Chen held Yun Yanze's arm, and Yun Yanze struggled.
"Fourth brother." Prince Chen smiled: "You must be careful. If you accidentally fall and open the old wound, you will suffer."
Yun Yanze was forcibly pulled up from the ground by Prince Chen. When he stood up, the wounds on his back were tearing at each other, itching and painful, but he endured it.
"Mother Concubine Su..."
"Fourth Prince, there is no need to say more." Concubine Su interrupted Yun Yanze: "The country has its own laws, and the family has its own rules. If Concubine Ning made a mistake, it is the harem's business. You are not only Concubine Ning's child, but also His Majesty's child, and the Prince of Dacheng. If even you do not abide by the laws of the country, how will others view our court and our royal family?"
Jiuzhu nodded silently behind her. What the Royal Concubine said made a lot of sense.
"Why are you nodding?" Prince Chen tapped her head and whispered, "Let me tell you a philosophy of life."
"What?" Jiuzhu leaned her head in front of King Chen.
"When the women in the harem quarrel, remember to stand away." Prince Chen pressed Yun Yanze down on the chair. When Jiuzhu saw Yun Yanze sitting down, Prince Qi's brows twitched.
"Why?"
"Because if I don't stand farther away, the blood might splash on me." Prince Chen sighed. He had originally planned to leave early, but it seemed that he couldn't leave for a while.
"Oh." Jiuzhu stood aside and thought for a while, then turned to look at King Chen.
"What are you looking at me for?" Prince Chen asked in confusion.
"I was just thinking, after I get married to His Highness, what should I do if the woman in His Highness's backyard quarrels with me?" Jiuzhu rubbed his forehead in distress.
The Prince's expression changed from time to time, and finally turned completely gloomy: "You haven't even married me yet, and you're already thinking of pushing me to another woman?"
Seeing His Highness's ugly face, Jiuzhu stepped back and said, "Your Highness, why are you angry?"
Prince Chen snorted angrily, dealing with her alone was enough to give him a headache, so what else did he need others for?
See them hanging out together and pulling each other's hair for no reason?
"You," Prince Chen stretched out his hand to poke her forehead. When he poked it, he remembered that he had just flicked her forehead red, and bent his finger again: "Can you think of something good for me?"
"Then..." Jiuzhu hesitated and said, "Your Highness's backyard is peaceful and harmonious, without any quarrels?"
She looked down at Prince Chen's sleeves, imagining the strange little girl pulling at the corner of his clothes, and her shoulders drooped unconsciously.
Prince Chen sighed deeply, reminded himself not to get angry with the little girl, and picked up an orange from the table: "Go eat the orange over there obediently."
Jiuzhu held the orange in her hand, sat silently beside him, and peeled the orange.
Yun Yanze looked at Ming Jiuzhu, who was poking the orange with her fingers, with her lips pursed, looking a little unhappy.
Noticing someone was looking at her, Jiuzhu raised her head and saw Yun Yanze sitting opposite her. She blinked and continued to play with the orange.
"Ming Xiaozhu."
"Ming Xiaozhu?" Prince Chen brought a plate of snacks and walked to her and sat down. "Have some snacks."
He glanced at the orange in Jiuzhu's hand, which was covered with holes, snatched the orange from her hand, and peeled it in a few seconds: "Are you sleepy?"
Jiuzhu shook her head.
Prince Chen stuffed the fruit pulp into Jiuzhu's palm: "Why are you suddenly listless?"
Jiuzhu still shook her head. She cut the orange in half and gave half to King Chen: "I feel uncomfortable."
"What's wrong with you?" Prince Chen stood up, walked to her side, touched her forehead, and then pinched her palm: "Are you sick?"
"No." Jiuzhu tugged at King Chen's sleeve, still not wanting to speak.
"Your Highness, Imperial Physician Wang is here." Xiang Xian came in with an old man wearing an imperial physician's official robe.
"You've come just in time." Prince Chen looked at the imperial physician and said, "Imperial Physician Wang, please take the pulse of the county lord Ming."
Doctor Wang looked at the Prince of Qi sitting on the other side in confusion. Wasn't he asked to treat the Prince of Qi's injury? But he didn't dare to offend the Prince of Chen, so he immediately walked up to the Prince of Chen and took out a clean silk handkerchief from the medicine box: "County Master, please stretch out your wrist."
Jiuzhu put her hand on the table and watched the doctor put the handkerchief on her wrist to check her pulse. She turned to look at Prince Chen and said, "Your Highness, I am really fine."
"Whether there is anything wrong or not, you have to listen to the doctor." Prince Chen said without hesitation: "Doctor Wang is the real doctor, I listen to him."
Imperial Physician Wang looked at Prince Chen with some emotion. Finally, a prince valued his abilities so much.
However...
After he took the pulse of both hands, he found that County Lord Ming was indeed fine.
"Your Highness, the county lord is in good health."
"Then why was she so happy just now and suddenly became listless?" Prince Chen felt relieved when he heard that Jiuzhu was fine.
Doctor Wang put away the handkerchief, not knowing how to explain to Prince Chen. If a woman suddenly becomes listless and unhappy, it may not mean she is sick, she may just be unhappy and angry.
After all, he is an unmarried man and doesn’t understand women.
"Please don't worry, Your Highness. Perhaps the county lord will be fine after a night's rest." Doctor Wang smiled slightly. Don't worry, don't be anxious. Life will slowly teach you many things.
A man who has never experienced a woman's anger is not mature.
Doctor Wang stood up with a smile on his face and looked at Prince Chen as if he was looking at a watermelon that was about to ripen.
Prince Chen felt a little uncomfortable with the strange look from Doctor Wang and sighed. Who on earth was this old doctor treating?
After Doctor Wang examined Yun Yanze's pulse, he turned to look at Jiuzhu and said, "If you feel sleepy, go back to your room and sleep early. I'll pick you up at Mingyue Palace tomorrow morning."
Jiuzhu nodded dejectedly.
She stood up and glanced at Yun Yanze who was sitting opposite her. Perhaps because of the relationship with the Zheng family, she could never appreciate Prince Qi, and even felt a little nervous when he approached Her Highness.
After thinking for a while, she sat back down.
"Aren't you sleepy?" Seeing her sitting back down, Prince Chen asked in confusion, "Is there anything else you forgot to tell me?"
"Not sleepy." Jiuzhu shook her head: "I will sit here with Your Highness for a while."
As she spoke, she yawned.
That’s it. Aren’t you sleepy yet?
Prince Chen was helpless: "Go to bed quickly."
Jiuzhu lay down on the table, the golden hairpin in her hair shining brightly under the candlelight, rejecting Prince Chen's proposal with practical actions.
As expected, he was supported by money, and even had a bad temper. The Prince touched the purse on his waist, which contained the silver that Jiuzhu gave him.
Forget it, I've already taken the money, so it's okay to let her have a little temper.
Gentlemen, don't bother with such trivial matters with little girls.
"Your Highness, your wound has begun to scab over, but don't pull it frequently until it is completely healed." Doctor Wang took out the medicine from the medicine box and said, "This is the medicine I prepared myself. Your Highness, please apply it to the wound on time."
"Thank you, Doctor Wang." Yun Yanze smiled bitterly, seeming helpless.
Doctor Wang closed the medicine box and said, "Since your injury is not serious, I will take my leave."
"Doctor Wang, I'll take you there." Xiangshen took out a bag of silver and put it in Doctor Wang's hand. "It's so cold, and I'm sorry to have you make this trip. Please use this money to have a cup of hot tea."
Doctor Wang declined and put the money into his sleeve.
He walked to the door and heard Concubine Su's voice.
"You have committed a serious crime. I should have settled accounts with you slowly today, but since Miss Sun knelt down to plead for you, I will not settle the matter with you tonight."
"The Sun family has a long tradition of learning and has produced many famous ministers and good officials. I don't want their descendants to suffer because of you. You should go back first. I will leave the rest to His Majesty."
Doctor Wang was horrified and wondered what Concubine Ning had done wrong that even Prince Qi and his wife had to kneel down and beg for mercy for her.
It is said that Concubine Su looks down on scholars, but didn't Concubine Su, for the sake of the Sun family, not care even when the Princess of the County came to her kneeling and begging for mercy in the middle of the night?
There are many taboos in the harem, especially the taboo against the younger generation kneeling at the palace gate without knowing the truth and making the entire harem a laughing stock.
Concubine Su allowed him to treat Prince Qi's injuries and let Concubine Ning go back, which was considered to be giving the young couple all the face they could.
Sun Caiyao waited in the side hall for a long time, but no one from Mingyue Palace came. Just when she was upset, she heard a passing palace maid mention something like "Prince Qi" and "Imperial Physician". She could no longer sit still, so she opened the door of the side hall and walked out.
There were few people in the corridor. The cold wind made her shiver and she quickened her pace to the main hall.
The main hall was brightly lit. She stopped and looked inside.
Ming Jiuzhu was lying on the small carved table, and Prince Chen was leaning sideways, not sure whether he was looking at her hair or her profile; the atmosphere was exceptionally harmonious.
She looked across at the two men.
Your Highness?
She raised her feet and was about to step into the room when she discovered that His Highness's eyes were on Ming Jiuju.
At this moment, her heart seemed to have fallen to the bottom.
Days and nights after marrying His Highness, she was constantly tormented by guilt and secret joy. She didn't dare to face Ming Jiuzhu, whose fate she had stolen, but she was also overjoyed at His Highness's gentleness and consideration for her.
She was afraid that His Highness would stand with Ming Jiuzhu, because she could not forget the His Highness in her dream and had feelings for Ming Jiuzhu.
What’s even more terrifying is that the prince in the dream died at the hands of Ming Jiuzhu.
"Your Highness..." She opened her mouth and her voice was as thin as a thread.
No one heard her voice, but Ming Jiuzhu, who was lying on the table, suddenly raised her head and looked at her with her bright eyes.
She lowered her eyelids, not daring to look directly into Ming Jiuzhu's eyes.
"Cai Yao." Yun Yanze followed Ming Jiuzhu's line of sight and looked over: "Why are you here?"
"Your Highness." Sun Caiyao walked up to Yun Yanze, grabbed his arm, and said with a forced smile: "Let's go back."
You have to stay away from Ming Jiuzhu, otherwise you will die at her hands.
"Your Highness, Princess of the County." Xiang Xian walked into the palace and smiled at the two of them: "The Royal Concubine is moved by your filial piety and allows you to accompany the Royal Concubine Ning back."
Yun Yanze stood up and thanked him.
Xiangshen smiled without saying anything.
I'm just asking you to accompany Concubine Ning back tonight, but I'm not saying that this account won't be settled.
If you have anything to do, you can continue after you have a good sleep tomorrow.
