Chapter 51 If it doesn’t work, sell it immediately!



Guizi grabbed her and, forgetting her favored status, shouted, "Are you crazy?! Are you going in there to die?"

Su Bei was a little anxious, but he couldn't say there was someone inside, so he hurriedly said, "Put out the fire! Put out the fire!"

At this time, servants had already fetched water, but they were too slow to carry the water bucket by bucket. In addition, all the furnishings in the room were made of wood, so the fire soon burned the side room, and it was obvious that no one could get in.

Su Bei was even more anxious than Guizi. It would be terrible if someone was burned to death.

But when Mrs. Mo saw the fire was getting bigger and bigger, the corners of her lips curled up even more, and she said to Su Bei: "I'm tired, let's go back to Peony Pavilion!"

Su Bei had no choice but to follow her, but he kept looking back, hoping that someone would run out, but also afraid that someone would run out.

Fortunately, the people in the mansion were trained. They quickly lined up in an orderly manner and passed the buckets of water one by one. Only then was the fire brought under control.

Su Bei followed Madam Mo back to the Peony Pavilion. Madam Mo sat in the hall and waved at her, "Go back. You don't have to wait on me."

Naturally, Su Bei couldn't ask or mention anything about that man, so he could only agree and walk out.

But Mrs. Mo suddenly called her again, "Abei! Wait a minute!"

Su Bei turned around, "Does the princess have any other instructions?"

Madam Mo snorted and said, "It failed today due to some strange combination of circumstances. You can make arrangements in the next few days. Do you still have the medicine my mother gave you?"

"Yes." Su Bei agreed, but she was extremely reluctant in her heart. This was really a coincidence, and she almost became Chu Younan's meat on the chopping board.

But she didn't want to care about it at the moment, her stomach was hurting more and more.

It was already dawn, and Su Bei tossed and turned in bed. Her stomach felt like it was being cut by a knife, or as if someone was cutting it with scissors. It wasn't like this last month. It must be because she had been frozen in the ice cellar for too long, and she had been sitting on the stone bench for a long time.

She missed her mother who patted her back in her dream, but she only dreamed of zombies. Why did the zombies run so fast this time? Why couldn't she escape no matter how hard she tried?

When she woke up again, it was almost dusk and the quilt she was covering herself with was soaked with sweat.

Seeing her wake up, Wen Xia hurriedly asked, "Awake? I saw you were crying in your dream, what did you dream about?"

"Nothing, I just dreamed of being chased by a vicious dog." Su Bei barely curled the corners of his lips, and suddenly asked anxiously, "There was a fire in Lingfeng Pavilion last night. Was anyone injured?"

Wen Xia said: "No, fortunately no one lives in that side room. If it was the other side, I'm afraid Doctor Wang would not be able to escape."

Su Bei suddenly felt a sense of fear. If she had not left some space for the prince and princess, Doctor Wang’s life would have been in danger last night.

Fortunately, there was no one there, which means that she was really dazzled yesterday.

She sat up and leaned against the headboard, letting out a long sigh.

My stomach doesn't hurt as much now, but I feel like I have no strength in my body and I don't want to move at all.

Wen Xia pointed to a porcelain bowl on the table and said, "This was sent by the prince, saying that you should drink it when you wake up. I'll go heat it up for you."

When Chu Younan was mentioned, Su Bei felt strange in his heart. He felt a little impressed, a little afraid, and a little confused.

She looked at the porcelain bowl and asked, "What's in it?"

"I don't know. There was a black thing and I couldn't see it clearly." Wen Xia said as he opened the bowl with the lid on and brought it to Su Bei.

It was a bowl of tea-colored soup, with a black object the size of half a little finger sunk at the bottom. Su Bei was shocked when he saw it.

Isn't this Tai Sui? Chu Younan is so stingy that he is willing to give this to himself?

She hurriedly asked, "Did you send it to the wrong place? Why are you giving me this to eat?"

Wen Xia asked curiously: "What on earth is this?"

Su Bei wanted to say something, but after thinking for a while he said, "I don't know. It looks like a piece of burnt pig skin soaked in tea."

Wen Xia covered her mouth and laughed, "Abei, you are so interesting. The prince can reward you with tea to soak pig skin? I saw that some of the materials he rewarded you with are not available on the market. I'm afraid they are things from the palace!"

Su Bei smiled secretly and thought: I thought he was a stingy old man, who knew he was so generous.

But she didn't say that these things should not be made public, for fear of being known and causing jealousy and hatred.

Wen Xia took back the bowl and walked out, saying as he walked, "Guizi said that the prince specifically ordered it to be cooked for you, and you must eat it. I'll take it over and heat it up."

She stopped at the door, turned around and asked, "Abei, is your day coming?"

"Yeah." Su Bei responded, but he looked puzzled, "How did you know?"

Wen Xia pointed at her with his chin, "Look, the bed sheet is stained. No wonder the prince gave you this to eat, it's probably to replenish your blood."

After saying that, she pursed her lips and smiled, and said with envy: "Abei, I really envy you. We are both maids, but you have someone to serve you, but I can only have a servant."

Su Bei looked down at the stained bed sheet and said with an awkward smile: "That's all nonsense. The prince and I have nothing. I will leave the house sooner or later."

Having said that, Su Bei thought about last night. Nothing? Was it considered nothing after seeing everything? If he was talking about seeing everything, he had seen everything a long time ago. Was it really nothing?

Not long after Wen Xia came back, Su Bei drank up the bowl of hot Tai Sui soup. She didn't know if it was a psychological effect, but she felt that her stomach didn't hurt as much and she seemed to have more energy.

"Adong is serving the princess. I'll go and tell her that you're not an ordinary maid now. You need to take a rest if you feel so uncomfortable." Wen Xia said considerately.

Su Bei pursed his lips, grasped Wen Xia's hand, and said, "You are the best! I sat outside for most of the night last night, and the stone bench was so cold that my stomach started to hurt after sitting for a while."

As he was talking, the door suddenly opened and Bao Qiu came in with a smile on his face, but his tone was complaining, "You're just asking about Xia? Why am I not okay?"

Su Bei hurriedly laughed and said, "But you heard it. Tomorrow when she is not around, I will also say that you are the best."

Knowing it was a joke, Wen Xia and Bao Qiu didn't get angry. Instead, they laughed and joked a few times.

While they were chatting, Adong suddenly came and said that the princess wanted to see Su Bei, so Su Bei had to get up quickly to see Mrs. Mo.

Today, Mrs. Mo seemed different from the past. There was a hint of gloom between her brows and her voice was colder than before. "Adong, get out first!"

Ah Dong left in response, and Madam Mo said coldly: "Ah Bei! Go to Lingfeng Pavilion now. No matter what, find a way to give the prince another dose of medicine!"

Su Bei felt unhappy, but she endured it and said to Madam Mo calmly, "Princess, the prince must have noticed it. I'm afraid he's not so easy to appease."

"I don't care!" Mrs. Mo suddenly took out a piece of paper and slapped it on the table. "No matter what, you must succeed, otherwise I will sell you out immediately!"

After saying that, she glared at Su Bei fiercely and added, "If it doesn't work, I'll sell you to a brothel!"
