When Concubine Su saw Jiuzhu coming out, she turned her head to glance at Xiangjuan. Xiangjuan shook her head slightly. Miss Ming was not the one they called.
She immediately smiled and said, "Jiuzhu is right. Although Concubine Ning made a mistake, her offspring will not be guilty of it. Xiangjuan, send someone to the Imperial Hospital to invite the doctor who is best at treating wounds."
"Your servant will follow the orders of the Imperial Concubine." Xiang Juan bowed with a smile, walked to the side, and said in a neither loud nor soft voice: "The Imperial Concubine is worried about the injury of Prince Qi, why don't you quickly invite the imperial physician."
"Ning Fei." Concubine Su 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 it gets out, people will think that I, the Concubine, 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, quickly help your fourth brother up. Help him sit in the room. Xiang Juan, bring a cushion, don't touch Yan Ze's wound."
"Fourth brother, please stand up." Prince Chen held Yun Yanze's arm, and Yun Yanze struggled for a while.
"Fourth brother." Prince Chen smiled: "You must be careful. If you fall down accidentally and your old wounds are opened, you will suffer."
Yun Yanze was forcibly pulled up from the ground by King Chen. When he stood up, the wounds on his back were tearing against each other, itching and painful, but he endured it.
"Mother 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. Concubine Ning made a mistake, which 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 imperial concubine said made a lot of sense.
"What are you nodding for?" Prince Chen tapped her head and asked quietly, "Let me tell you a philosophy of life."
"What?" Jiuzhu put her head close to King Chen.
"When the women in the harem quarrel, remember to stand away." Prince Chen pressed Yun Yanze on the chair. When Jiuzhu saw him sit down, Prince Qi's brows twitched.
"Why?"
"Because if I don't stand further away, the blood might splash on me." Prince Chen sighed. He had originally planned to leave early, but it seemed that he would not be able to 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.
Prince Chen's expression changed over and over, and finally turned gloomy: "You haven't even married me yet, and you're already thinking of pushing me to other women?"
Seeing His Highness's grim expression, 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 from others?
See them getting together and pulling each other's hair for no reason?
"You," Prince Chen stretched out his hand and poked her forehead. When he poked it, he remembered that he had just flicked her forehead and made it red. He bent his finger again and said, "Can you think of something good for me?"
"Then..." Jiuzhu hesitated and said, "Your Highness's backyard is harmonious and there is no quarrel?"
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 it, 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 looked up and saw Yun Yanze sitting opposite her. She blinked and continued to play with the orange.
"Ming Piggy."
"Ming Xiaozhu?" Prince Chen brought a plate of snacks and sat down in front of her, "Have some snacks."
He glanced at the tangerine in Jiuzhu's hand, which was riddled with holes, snatched it from her hand, and peeled it in a few seconds: "Are you sleepy?"
Jiuzhu shook his 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."
"Where do you feel uncomfortable?" Prince Chen stood up, walked to her side, touched her forehead, and 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." Xiangjuan 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 County Lady Ming."
Doctor Wang looked at Prince Qi who was sitting on the other side in confusion. Wasn't he asked to treat Prince Qi's injuries? But he didn't dare to offend the Prince of Chen, so he walked up to him and took out a clean silk handkerchief from the medicine box: "County Lady, please stretch out your wrist."
Jiuzhu put her hand on the table, watched the doctor put the silk handkerchief on her wrist to check her pulse, and turned to look at Prince Chen: "Your Highness, I'm really fine."
"Whether you are okay or not, you should listen to the doctor." Prince Chen said without hesitation: "Doctor Wang is the real doctor, I will listen to him."
Imperial Physician Wang looked at Prince Chen with some emotion. Finally, a prince valued his abilities so much.
but……
After taking the pulse of both hands, he found that there was indeed nothing wrong with County Lady Ming.
"Your Highness, the county lady 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. Maybe the county princess will be fine after a night's rest." Doctor Wang smiled slightly. Don't worry, don't be anxious, life will slowly teach you a lot of things.
A man who has not experienced a woman's anger cannot be considered 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 checked Yun Yanze's pulse, he turned to look at Jiuzhu and said, "If you feel sleepy, go back to your room and sleep. I'll pick you up at Mingyue Palace tomorrow morning."
Jiuzhu nodded sullenly.
She stood up and glanced at Yun Yanze sitting opposite her. Perhaps because of the relationship with the Zheng family, she could never appreciate Prince Qi. She even felt a little nervous when he approached His Highness.
After thinking for a while, she sat back down.
"Aren't you sleepy?" Seeing that she sat 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 sleep quickly."
Jiuzhu leaned forward on the table, the golden hairpin in her hair shining brightly under the candlelight, rejecting Prince Chen's proposal with practical actions.
As expected, I spent money to support him, and now he even has a bad temper. Prince Chen touched the purse at his waist, which contained the silver that Jiuzhu had given him.
Forget it, the money has been taken, so it doesn’t matter if she throws a little tantrum.
As a grown man, don't bother with such a small matter with a little girl.
"Your Highness, your wound has begun to scab over, but don't touch it frequently until it is completely healed." Doctor Wang took out the medicine from the medicine box: "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 Highness's injury is not serious, I will take my leave."
"Doctor Wang, I'll take you there." Xiang Juan 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 bother with you tonight."
"The Sun family has a long history of scholars and has produced many famous ministers and good officials. I don't want their descendants to suffer because of you. You go back first. I will leave other matters to His Majesty."
Doctor Wang was shocked and puzzled. What had Concubine Ning done wrong that even the Prince of Qi and his wife came to kneel down and beg for mercy?
It is said that Concubine Su looks down on scholars, but Concubine Su, for the sake of the Sun family, did not even mind that the Princess of the County came to her knees and begged for mercy in the middle of the night, did she?
There are many taboos in the harem, especially the younger generations who kneel at the palace gate without knowing the truth and make a fool of themselves in the harem.
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 else from Mingyue Palace came. Just when she was feeling upset, she heard a palace maid passing by mentioning 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 not many 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 hairpin or her profile. The atmosphere was exceptionally harmonious.
She looked across at the two of them.
Your Highness?
She raised her foot and was about to step into the door when she found 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 she married His Highness, she was constantly tormented by the emotions of guilt and secret joy. She didn't dare to face Ming Jiuzhu, whose destiny was stolen by her, but she was also delighted by the tenderness and consideration that His Highness showed her.
She was afraid that His Highness would stand with Ming Jiuzhu, because she could not forget the His Highness in her dreams and had feelings for Ming Jiuzhu.
What’s even more terrifying is that the prince in the dream died at the hands of Ming Jiuju.
"Your Highness..." She opened her mouth, her voice 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 at Ming Jiuju.
"Caiyao." Yun Yanze followed Ming Jiuzhu's line of sight and asked, "Why are you here?"
“Your Highness.” Sun Caiyao walked 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 Juan walked into the hall and smiled at the two of them: "The Imperial Concubine is moved by your filial piety and wants you to accompany the Imperial Concubine Ning back."
Yun Yanze stood up and thanked him.
Xiangjuan smiled without saying anything.
I'm just asking you to accompany Concubine Ning back tonight. It doesn't mean that we can let this account go.
If you have anything to do, you can continue after you have a good sleep tomorrow.
