Chapter 38 The hot spring bath is so comfortable



Su Bei slept soundly that night.

She did have a fever again, so Wen Xia and Bao Qiu made some medicine for her. Under the effect of the medicine, she fell into a deep sleep.

But she dreamed of being chased by zombies again, but this time she couldn’t find her mother, and there was no one to pat her back to comfort her.

When she woke up groggily, Wen Xia was sitting beside her bed, wiping her forehead with a handkerchief.

"Abei, you are awake now. Do you feel better?"

"Uh... much better..." Su Bei's voice was a little hoarse.

Wen Xia touched her forehead, yawned and said, "Bao Qiu stayed up most of the night and was very sleepy. I asked her to go back to sleep. What would you like to eat?"

"Just some porridge."

Wen Xia agreed, and returned with porridge after a while, and continued to chatter with her: "The princess is not feeling well, and she hasn't gotten up yet. Ah Dong is taking care of her. Aunt Gui was carried back at dawn, and she was sleeping soundly. I heard that she was fed with Ma Fei San. I didn't expect that she could do such a thing. Lu Jiu has become like that, it's really abominable!"

Su Bei sat on the bedside, drinking porridge and said, "He was given Ma Fei San? That's not bad, I thought he was going to be beaten alive."

"That's impossible. Beating someone alive will kill them. The servants in the palace have never done this. The prince doesn't want maids to serve him closely, so if there are maids in the palace who really like each other, they will tell the housekeeper, and 70% to 80% of them will be able to make it happen."

After Wen Xia finished speaking, she looked at Su Bei with a smile, "You are really lucky. I have been in the mansion for five years and have never seen the prince get close to a woman. You are the first one."

Su Bei couldn't help but ask curiously, "Don't all the young masters from wealthy families have maids around them? Doesn't he have one?"

"I didn't see him when I came in, and I haven't seen him in the past few years." Wen Xia answered, and then muttered to himself, "In fact, the prince has a cold face, but he is a kind person. My family wanted to sell me to an old man as a concubine that year, and when I ran away, the prince happened to pass by the street, so he gave my father ten taels of silver to buy me. Since then, I have been working in the kitchen."

"Oh?" Su Bei thought to himself, is Chu Younan still such a kind person?

Wen Xia continued, "Baoqiu sold herself on the street to bury her father that year. After being bought, she worked in the embroidery room of the mansion. She has been here for three years. And Lu Jiu, he has no one to rely on. If the prince hadn't taken him in, he would have had to beg on the street."

"I didn't realize that..." Su Bei lowered his head and drank his porridge, thinking to himself that the guy wasn't a fool. What was going on between him and Mo? Wen Xia seemed to have thought of this, too. He looked at the door and whispered, "I just don't know what happened to the prince. It was rumored in the whole capital that the prince had asked the emperor to marry the princess several times. The princess was born out of wedlock, so she shouldn't be the principal wife. At most, she could be a lady. I don't know how the prince asked to make her the principal wife. But after the marriage, the prince suddenly treated her coldly."

"It's a bit strange." Su Bei thought, since Chu Younan wasn't that stupid, he probably had his reasons. But this wasn't a big deal. Didn't people also divorce by marriage in ancient times? It would be better to let the princess go find her kings!

As the two were talking, there was a knock on the door. Wen Xia opened the door and saw Guizi standing at the door.

"Ask Sister Xia, the prince asked me to ask if Miss Abei is feeling better?" Guizi stood at the door and looked out.

Wen Xia said hurriedly: "I had a fever last night, but now it's getting better. I haven't had a fever yet."

Guizi smiled and said, "The prince guessed that she would have a fever again, so he asked me to come over and tell her that he would let Miss Abei go to her hot spring bath today."

"Ah?" "I'm not going!"

Wen Xia and Su Bei spoke at the same time.

Hearing Su Bei's resolute refusal, Wen Xia hurriedly said, "Abei, not everyone can go to the prince's hot spring bath. Even the princess has never been there!"

Su Bei murmured, "I...I'm almost well, no need to soak!"

Guizi curled his lips and muttered, "Okay, then I'll tell the prince when he comes back."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave, but Su Bei called him: "Guizi, wait a minute!"

"What's wrong?" Guizi turned around and asked.

Su Bei said: "The prince is not here today?"

"He went to the military camp. Today is not a day off." Guizi muttered.

Su Bei suddenly raised the corner of his lips, "Then I'll go!"

Guizi looked at her sideways, thinking why this person was different from others. Others were probably just trying to get into the prince's bed. But he couldn't say it, and he couldn't ask, so he just said, "Okay, I'll go back and prepare, and you can come over later."

Su Bei hurriedly got up and put on her clothes. She was so happy that she was bubbling with joy. She had coveted that bathing pool that day, but unfortunately she only swam in it for a while and was still scared. Chu Younan finally did a good thing today! As she was getting dressed, she said, "Wenxia, ​​let's go together later!"

Wen Xia hurriedly shook her head, "That won't do. How dare I wash in the master's place? I'll just follow and serve you!"

"He's not here! Guizi doesn't dare to go in either, so it's just the two of us. By the way, call Baoqiu and let's go together!" Su Bei said excitedly.

Wen Xia was even more panicked, "The prince is kind-hearted, but we can't overstep our authority. Let's go quickly, let Baoqiu sleep for a while, I'll serve you!"

Su Bei pouted and thought to himself that the people here were really pitiful. Masters, servants, legitimate children, and illegitimate children, all people had the same nose and two eyes. What was the difference?

But she didn't force Wen Xia. After all, when she dragged Wen Xia into the water, Wen Xia's face turned pale with fright. It would be terrible if she scared him to death.

So she stayed in there alone and let Wenxia rest outside.

She had thought that the pool was so big, and if we were to heat it, it would take a whole day. It turned out to be a hot spring! How comfortable!

She was bathing in the bath alone and fell asleep. When Wen Xia came in to call her, it was already getting dark.

"Abei, Abei, it's getting late. The prince will probably be back soon. Do you want to come out?"

Su Bei rushed out immediately, "Get out!"

She didn't want Chu Younan to take advantage of her! Taking a hot bath was really effective for fever. Su Bei suddenly felt comfortable all over. She changed into the peacock green lily skirt that Ah Xi had made for her, and she felt more comfortable.

She was about to leave Lingfeng Pavilion with Wenxia when she saw a man in a crimson-purple robe come in and ask as he walked, "Guizi! Is Third Brother back? Is dinner ready?"

"Your Highness Prince Jin, the prince hasn't come back yet, but he will probably be back soon..."

Before Guizi could finish his answer, Prince Jin stopped and looked at Su Bei and Wen Xia who were standing aside with their heads bowed. He asked curiously, "Wait a minute, when did a woman come out of my third brother's courtyard? Are you two new here? Raise your heads and let me take a look!"

Su Bei and Wen Xia hurriedly bowed, "Greetings, Prince Jin."

Prince Jin's eyes moved around Su Bei and Wen Xia's faces for a few times, then he turned to look at Gui Zi with a look of excitement and asked, "Come here, come here! Didn't my third brother just get married, and he already got a maidservant? Tell me quickly, did my wife give it to him? Did he sleep with her?"
