Xia Zhiliao blinked at Wen Heng, fearing that he would not cooperate, but in fact this worry was unnecessary.
Wen Heng was not so ignorant. "Aunt, look, my sister is right beside you. Wouldn't it be bad if the sword in your hand scares her?"
Xia Zhiliao also nodded, "Yeah, I'm so scared!"
"Don't be afraid, Yue'er. My sword is for killing enemies, not for scaring Yue'er."
Princess Yiyang looked around cautiously, as if she had recalled something. "Yingyu, hurry up, let Xiu Niang go. I think it's better for Yue'er to stay with me. I can't leave Yue'er."
Aunt Cui's eyes were filled with tears. "Okay, okay, Princess, I'll go tell the embroiderer to leave first."
"Yuer, don't be afraid. As long as I am here, I will never be separated from you."
Xia Zhiliao couldn't help but think, it would be great if her mother was really her daughter. How happy she would be to have such a mother loving her.
It has nothing to do with her status as a princess or a county lord; it is just this motherly love that is touching.
"Okay, I'm not afraid. Look, there are no enemies. Put down the sword. This is my brother, and this is Aunt Yingyu. All the enemies have been driven away."
"Yes, your father has driven away all the enemies." Princess Yiyang's eyes were empty as she murmured, "Ayun, look, I have done what I promised you. I have found my daughter. I am with her. Don't worry, where is Ayun? Where is Ayun? Where is Ayun?"
Nanny Cui couldn't help but sigh. The princess's mind was in a mess, but she could do nothing.
Xia Zhiliao smiled and held her hand tightly, "Look, this is also broken, does it hurt? Let me heal it for you~"
"good!"
Princess Yi Yang was unusually obedient. This was something Nanny Cui had not expected. She dared not breathe and her attitude towards Xia Zhiliao became much better.
"You are tired, take a nap."
"You're not leaving?"
"I won't leave. I promise I will be by your side when you wake up." Xia Zhiliao's smile makes people feel very comfortable.
Princess Yi Yang really felt her eyelids heavy, and she couldn't hold the sword in her hand anymore and it fell to the ground.
"The princess..." Nanny Cui felt something was wrong. Why did the princess fall asleep as soon as she was told to?
Xia Zhi realized that a little girl couldn't help an adult, "Come and help."
Wen Heng took the lead, and Nanny Cui followed without caring about anything else. The three of them worked together to put Princess Yi Yang on the bed.
Xia Zhiliao took a breath, her eyes full of heartache. She silently took the white cloth and bandaged all the wounds on her body.
Then he followed Aunt Cui and squatted on the ground to clean up the broken porcelain pieces.
"Girl, take a rest. Let me do it."
"Madame Cui, I'm not tired. You are the one who has the hard work of taking care of the princess. You should take a rest."
Madam Cui was stunned for a moment. "This is my job, it's not hard work. When the princess is not like this, she treats me like a family member."
"I was a little rude just now, please don't blame me, young lady."
Xia Zhiliao smiled and shook her head, "No, I know you are actually worried about me, afraid that I would be frightened, and then the princess would blame herself after waking up, which would make you even more uncomfortable."
Nanny Cui didn't say anything. Such a young child, yet so sensible, it really made people wonder what to say.
"The princess..."
"She's fine. I used some medicine and let her sleep for a while."
"medicine?"
"Yes, it's on me. This is it." Xia Zhiliao took out a crushed wax ball, in which one could vaguely see some grass-green powder. "The princess fell asleep after smelling this."
"Don't worry, you won't fall asleep because it's just been used up."
Madam Cui smiled and said, "Young lady, you are really smart. Just now I was wondering why the Queen Mother would choose such a child to treat the princess. Now I have some confidence."
"I have confidence too." Xia Zhiliao said. She had already taken a look at Princess Yi Yang's condition while bandaging her.
She can be cured, but if she wants to cure it completely, she needs a strong medicine.
"Mammy, is the princess like this because the little princess died?"
Aunt Cui paused. Fortunately, she had already developed a good impression of this girl. Otherwise, she would definitely be unhappy if someone asked her rashly.
"Yes, but my princess couldn't bear to hear this. After that, she kept talking about the princess. She regretted that she shouldn't have let the princess and the embroiderer leave in the same car as ordinary people. In that way, my little princess wouldn't have encountered the enemy, maybe..."
"Not to mention that the princess, as a mother, can't bear it, even this old servant feels heartbroken every time he thinks of my clever little princess."
Aunt Cui glanced at Xia Zhiliao and said, "You are so young, yet you know so much."
"I heard it from General Wei."
"General Wei, is that Wei Rong?"
"It's him."
Nanny Cui couldn't help but look at Xia Zhiliao. She was the empress dowager and General Wei, so who was this little girl?
Xia Zhiliao guessed that she was curious, "He is going to marry my grandmother, and he will be my grandfather in the future."
"Marry your grandmother... He is not... Oh, I understand, that's it." Aunt Cui nodded, "General Wei used to be under the command of General Chang Yun. He is a nostalgic person. After so many years, even if others have forgotten my princess and General Chang, as long as the princess returns to the capital, he will go to pay his respects."
"Girl, can my princess really be cured?"
Xia Zhiliao smiled slightly, "Mammy, please call me Zhiliao."
"Zhiliao?" Aunt Cui called out, "It's an interesting name."
"My mother gave it to me. When she gave birth to me, cicadas kept chirping outside her hands, so she gave me this name. I think it sounds nice."
"You are like this, I guess your mother must be a wonderful person too."
"As for her, I think she is very good, and her embroidery skills are outstanding. What's more interesting is that when she accompanied me to the palace, the Queen Mother actually said..."
"What?" Nanny Cui was just chatting with the child.
"The Queen Mother said my mother looks like Princess Yiyang when she was young."
The fragments that Matron Cui had just picked up fell to the ground again. She looked at Xia Zhiliao. She had just said that she looked a little familiar. Now, she really looked a bit like the princess.
But, that's impossible.
She shook her head. “Are you kidding me?”
Xia Zhiliao, "No, Ma'am, I won't beat around the bush. My mother was adopted. She can't remember anything about her childhood. She only has one hand of embroidery. Brother Wen Heng once helped me check, but unfortunately he found the wrong master. She said that my mother's embroidery skills seemed to be taught by her sister in the princess's mansion."
Wen Heng nodded, "Not bad."
Madam Cui immediately stood up and looked at Princess Yiyang lying on the bed. "How is this possible? I watched the princess bury the princess with her own hands."
"Don't worry, I didn't say my mother must be. I just want to help my mother find her mother. It would be great if she is. If not, we won't bother."
Aunt Cui shook her head. "No, that's not what I meant. I just think it's impossible."
