Chapter 493 My sister is out of reach
"Your Highness, I'm sorry, I came here with my elder brother, so I'm afraid it might not be convenient." Xiao Jiuyue smiled and politely refused.
The Sixth Princess said, "That's fine. I came here with my Third Brother as well. We can chat together, and Third Brother can chat with your eldest brother."
"It's just right. I have admired Brother Xiao for a long time. It would be great if we could travel together." Jun Lie took the opportunity to say.
When the Sixth Princess heard this, she was very reluctant and quickly pulled Xiao Jiuyue to make the decision. On the way down the mountain, the Sixth Princess was not in good health and the dozens of steps made it very difficult for her to climb.
Originally, a palace maid wanted to carry the Sixth Princess on her back, but the Sixth Princess said, "No problem, let's walk slowly. It's a good time for me to chat with Sister Xiao."
"Sister Xiao, you said that people like me with a cold uterus and a weak body need exercise, right?" The Sixth Princess liked listening to Xiao Jiuyue talk. She was different from the imperial doctors in the Imperial Hospital who only advised her to take medicine.
The exercises that Xiao Jiuyue mentioned made her feel particularly curious.
"Yes, improving your physical fitness, supplemented by medicinal baths, will naturally strengthen your body in the future." Xiao Jiuyue wanted to make friends with the Sixth Princess. She said, "I learned a set of exercises. After your period is over, you can practice them morning and night. It's very good for your health."
"Sister Xiao, you have to teach me." The Sixth Princess took Xiao Jiuyue's hand and chatted all the way. When they were almost at the foot of the mountain, the Sixth Princess was so happy. Although she fainted from the pain today, she was particularly happy to have met Xiao Jiuyue.
"Okay." Xiao Jiuyue agreed readily. When they were almost at the foot of the mountain, the Sixth Princess stepped on a stone and suddenly her body went limp and she fell forward.
Xiao Jiuyue was quick to pull the Sixth Princess up and asked worriedly, "Your Highness, are you okay?"
"Luckily, Sister Xiao held me back." The Sixth Princess patted her chest in fear. If it weren't for Xiao Jiuyue, she would have fallen to the ground and her face would have been injured.
"There are many stones on the steps, Your Highness, be careful." Xiao Jiuyue reminded: "Your Highness, try to see if you have sprained your ankle?"
"Ah..." The Sixth Princess tried to move her foot. The pain was so severe that cold sweat broke out on her forehead. Her facial features were squeezed together in pain. She said, "I might have sprained my foot."
"Don't move. Let me take a look at you first." Xiao Jiuyue helped the Sixth Princess sit down beside her. She squatted down and reached out to pinch the Sixth Princess's foot. She said, "It's not dislocated, it's probably just a sprain. Your Highness, your foot needs to rest for a few days."
The Sixth Princess has her period, and it's winter now, so ice packs definitely won't work.
Xiao Jiuyue said, "It would be best if Your Highness elevates your feet to reduce swelling."
"Miss, you can also fix the ankle." Dong Gui said from the side, and directly tore off the cloth strips and stepped forward to help the Sixth Princess fix her ankle.
"Sixth sister, I'll carry you to the carriage." Jun Lie said, and walked straight forward, grabbed the Sixth Princess's hand, and wanted to pick her up and walk the rest of the way.
The Sixth Princess shook her head repeatedly and said, "No, Third Brother, have you forgotten your illness?"
"Sixth sister, you can't move your feet, and you have to keep them elevated. What if it gets serious? And it's such a long way to go?" Jun Lie said without hesitation, "I'm your brother. I can't just sit back and watch."
"Third brother, your hands are red." The Sixth Princess grabbed Xiao Jiuyue and pulled her back, saying, "Sister Xiao, could you please ask the girl next to you to help me? My third brother's body turns red when a woman touches it."
The Sixth Princess spoke in a low voice. She regarded Xiao Jiuyue as her own and thought that Xiao Jiuyue had good medical skills and might be able to help her third brother.
Xiao Jiuyue glanced at the red rash on the back of Jun Lie's hand. He had just touched it, and there was a reaction so quickly?
"The world is so big, and there are all kinds of strange things. It turns out that there is such a disease." Xiao Jiuyue murmured, then looked at Donggui beside him.
Dong Gui had been waiting for this for a long time. When she got Xiao Jiuyue's look, she immediately said, "Your Highness, I'm sorry!"
Donggui picked up the Sixth Princess horizontally. The Sixth Princess grabbed Donggui's shoulders and lifted her whole body up.
"Don't worry, Your Highness. I practice martial arts, so Your Highness is very healthy." Dong Gui explained, fearing that the Sixth Princess would worry.
"Yes, Donggui will hold His Highness very steadily." Xiao Jiuyue also said on the side. The Sixth Princess was only twelve or thirteen years old, the same age as Xiao Tingwu. She was thin and for Donggui, who practiced martial arts, there was absolutely no pressure on her.
"Sister Xiao, it's really steady." The Sixth Princess felt it and walked down the mountain in Donggui's arms. Even when she was going down the stairs, she was steady, which made her feel safe.
"Your Highness, medicine." Lan Ying handed over the medicine he had brought with him and said, "Your Highness, you must take this medicine immediately, otherwise, I'm afraid your skin will swell up soon."
Lan Ying held medicine in one hand and water in the other, and her worried voice was deliberately raised a few pitches, fearing that Xiao Jiuyue couldn't hear it.
"I'm really useless. I wanted to help my sister, but ended up making things worse." Jun Lie's self-blaming look stunned Xiao Jiuyue. He was really good at acting.
If Jun Lie didn't do it on purpose, she wouldn't have dinner tonight.
Xiao Jiuyue simply ignored Jun Lie's look that was seeking comfort, and walked quickly towards the Sixth Princess.
Xiao Jialing followed Jun Lie into the carriage. He looked at Jun Lie curiously and said, "Third Prince, your rash is getting worse and worse."
Xiao Jialing looked at Jun Lie's exposed neck, which was covered with a visible rash. He said, "I now understand why His Highness is the only one who hasn't gotten married yet."
The Crown Prince and the Second Prince have been married for a long time. The Crown Prince has three children, the Second Prince has two, and the Seventh Prince is still young. Only the Third Prince, who has already reached adulthood, has not yet married.
Before, I heard that the Third Prince liked men, but now it seems that the Third Prince is clearly ill.
"The master of Da Ci'en Temple did say that I shouldn't get married before the age of twenty-five." Jun Lie ignored Xiao Jialing's sympathetic look and said casually, "It's strange to say, I didn't get a rash when I met Miss Xiao before."
Xiao Jialing had just been sympathizing with Jun Lie, but when he heard Jun Lie's words, his heart immediately tightened. He looked at Jun Lie with a serious expression. Born into a royal family, Jun Lie's appearance was undoubtedly the most outstanding among the princes.
Although Jun Lie grew up in the cold palace and has no reputation, judging from the news that he had led his troops to Yongzhao and returned victoriously, Jun Lie is definitely not a fool who knows nothing.
Moreover, this time the Xiao family was vindicated and the Xiao family and Jun Lie were cooperating. His mind was full of thoughts, and he said without showing it, "Your Highness will have a noble status in the future. I'm afraid my sister won't be able to marry him."
The Xiao family does not need to sacrifice Xiao Jiuyue in exchange for status and power. If Jun Lie is really interested in that position, he is not a good match for Xiao Jiuyue.
