"Mother!"
Before Xie Yunjiao could even speak, Xie Xiu'er was already anxious. How could she let Xie Yunjiao enter and leave the palace freely? If Xie Yunjiao suddenly remembered something, wouldn't all her efforts be wasted?
Seeing Xie Xiu'er suddenly become nervous, as if she didn't want her to enter the palace again, she said, "Princess, you don't seem very willing to let me enter the palace. Are you afraid that I will cure the Queen's illness?"
Xie Xiuer almost bit her tongue! She widened her eyes and looked at Xie Yunjiao fiercely, wishing she could cut her tongue off.
Xie Yunjiao raised her eyebrows and continued, "Why, are you feeling guilty and don't want to talk anymore?"
"Mother, look at her horrible appearance. Does she really have the ability to help you detoxify? I think it's all nonsense to say you're poisoned." Xie Xiuer said.
She tried her best to adjust her attitude before looking at Ruan Qing, otherwise she was afraid of being exposed.
Ruan Qing felt that Xie Xiu'er was a little strange today. She was usually very arrogant and domineering. If someone spoke like this in front of her, no matter who that person was, she would order someone to cut off Xie Yunjiao's tongue.
But she didn't do that today, but she was angry so she could only complain angrily.
"Miss Xie, right? Our Yun Qiao is just like that. You should take more responsibility." Ruan Qing said.
Xie Yunjiao bowed and replied, "I dare not. The princess is of noble status. How dare I mention these things in front of her?"
If she really respected Xie Xiuer, she would not have said what she just said.
Although Ruan Qing felt that Xie Yunjiao's appearance remained unchanged, her entire personality had changed. She couldn't figure out what was going on for the time being.
In this case, she would take advantage of the time when Xie Yunjiao came to the palace to help her detoxify to observe carefully and see what was going on.
Seeing that Xie Xiu'er was so angry with her, Xie Yunjiao finally suggested leaving with satisfaction.
Jing Kai accompanied Xie Yunjiao out of the palace.
Xie Xiuer accompanied Ruan Qing to give her a massage and chat with her, but Ruan Qing was in a bad mood because of her health, so she couldn't give Xie Xiuer a good response.
However, Xie Xiu'er seemed to be more patient today than usual, and she stayed with Ruan Qing the whole time without complaining about being bored.
Ruan Qing came back to her senses after a while. She looked at Xie Xiu'er and said, "You have been with me for so long. If you have anything to say to me, go ahead."
A glimmer flashed in Xie Xiu'er's eyes, and she said to Ruan Qing: "No, it's nothing. I just want to accompany my mother."
Ruan Qing smiled and touched Xie Xiuer's head lovingly. How could she not understand what her daughter was thinking?
"Just tell me, I will do my best to help you with anything I can." Ruan Qing said.
"Mother, don't you think Brother Kai is too close to that woman?" Xie Xiu'er couldn't help but say to Ruan Qingru.
Ruan Qing looked at Xie Xiuer, a glimmer in his eyes.
"Yes, but that is your brother Jing Kai's business. He is a sensible man. I believe he will not do anything rash." Ruan Qing said.
However, her words made Xie Xiu'er very dissatisfied. How could Ruan Qing just let it go? If that was the case, wouldn't all her efforts over the years be in vain?
"Mother! She is not worthy of Brother Kai at all!" Xie Xiuer said gritting her teeth.
"If they're not worthy, then who do you think is worthy of him?" Ruan Qing paused, looked at Xie Xiu'er, and frowned slightly. "Don't tell me it's you. I've already told you that you and him... are impossible."
Xie Xiuer was angry. She shook off Ruan Qing's hand, stood up, and yelled at Ruan Qing: "Why do you say that? You didn't tell me that before!"
If it weren't for Jing Kai, she wouldn't...
Xie Xiuer looked at Ruan Qing with grief and anger, wanting her to give her a reasonable explanation.
But Ruan Qing just sighed, looked at her hesitantly, and finally said nothing.
Xie Xiuer was so angry that she covered her face and ran out.
Ruan Qing looked at Xie Xiuer's back with a worried look on his face.
The old nanny took a cloak and helped Ruan Qing put it on, saying softly, "Master, the sun has set and it has become much colder. Don't catch a cold."
Ruan Qing looked at the old nanny and said helplessly, "This kind of thing is really hard for me to talk about, but the result is like this, and it's hard for our Yun Qiao."
The old nanny also sighed. She said to Ruan Qing, "Master, this kind of thing is not what you want. If they really get together, it would be truly intolerable to heaven and earth!"
Seeing Ruan Qing remained silent and looked worried, the old nanny continued, "The master didn't want to tell the princess because it was for her own good. She will understand the princess's painstaking efforts in the future."
Ruan Qing said after a while: "I am tired."
"Master, why don't you eat something before you rest?" the old nanny advised.
Ruan Qing pursed her lips and shook her head: "No, I don't have an appetite."
Now, whenever she thought that someone was hiding beside her and wanted to harm her, she felt very uncomfortable and dared not eat the food prepared for her by those people.
She didn't even quite believe the old lady beside her.
"What are you doing? Who told you to light the incense?" When Ruan Qing saw the palace maid preparing to light the incense for her, she couldn't help but get furious and asked the old nanny to arrest the palace maid.
"Master, please calm down. Have you forgotten? This incense was given by Miss Xie." The old nanny said to Ruan Qing.
Ruan Qing was stunned. She really hadn't noticed this.
"She said that although this incense cannot detoxify, it can help you sleep well." said the old lady.
Ruan Qing now has a fear of incense, fearing that it will take her life.
"If the master doesn't want it, then I won't ask anyone to order it," said the old nanny.
She also knew that lighting incense at this time would naturally make Ruan Qing feel afraid. If she were to experience the same thing, she would also feel scared and would not dare to try it again.
"Forget it, let's give it a try." Ruan Qing said after thinking for a while.
Inexplicably, she chose to believe Xie Yunjiao.
When the old nanny heard Ruan Qing say this, she asked someone to light the incense given by Xie Yunjiao.
Strangely enough, the incense given by Xie Yunjiao did not have a very special scent. When it was first lit, it smelled a pleasant pine scent. After the fragrance dissipated, they felt as if they smelled the scent of green grass after the rain, which was very fresh and comfortable.
At first, Ruan Qing was a little nervous and uneasy. He clutched the quilt tightly with both hands and couldn't close his eyes at all.
But after a while, she felt sleepy and before she knew it, she closed her eyes and fell asleep.
The old nanny finally breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Ruan Qing's long and gentle breathing.
***
After Jing Kai and Xie Yunjiao left the palace, Jing Kai looked at Xie Yunjiao and asked, "Why do you always make her angry, or..." What did you find out?
Xie Yunjiao turned her head, glanced at Jing Kai and said, "Why, are you feeling bad?"
