"Are you awake? Hurry up and drink this bowl of blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing medicine. You should stay in bed and take good care of yourself during this period. I'll be taking care of the young lady, so you don't have to worry."
Liu Zhu saw Huanbi wake up and placed a bowl of black medicine beside her bed.
Huanbi lay on the bed, feeling her throat dry and sore, and wanted to drink some water to moisten it.
Although this is a medicine, it can also moisten the throat.
She reached out to pick up the bowl, but found that she couldn't lift her body at all.
Liu Zhu felt sorry for her and couldn't help but sigh, but he walked over and brought the bowl to her mouth.
"Why do you bother to make the young master unhappy?
The young lady is in a bad mood recently, so just go along with her. Why bother arguing? In the end, you will only end up hurting yourself."
"...Well, I lost my mind. I shouldn't have talked back to you, young master."
Huanbi took the bowl of medicine, gulped it down in one gulp, and felt her throat feel better.
"Thank you for keeping Zhu. It's a pity that I didn't understand what you meant at first, so...
But why is the young lady in such a bad mood recently? Isn't her relationship with the prince very good? The prince has been coming to our palace all the time."
"Why are you asking these questions? There are some things that you'd better not know, otherwise, it will bring you more trouble."
Liu Zhu became a little wary when he saw that she was so concerned about Zhen Qia's private affairs.
But I saw tears flashing in her green eyes and her face was full of pleading.
"Liu Zhu, we have been serving the young master since we were young, and we grew up together. I have always regarded you as my own sister.
I don’t know what’s going on these days. I always make the young lady angry, and I feel very sad and scared.
I don't want to continue to make the young master angry, so please tell me more about the young master, so that I can avoid the minefield in time and make everyone suffer."
"Alas, I don't want to tell you these things because it's actually for your own good...that's all, I'll tell you.
The young lady wants to follow the prince out of the palace and marry into the palace as soon as possible so that she can feel at ease. However, things don't seem to be going well with the prince, who keeps putting it off, so the young lady has been unhappy for a while now."
Liu Zhu sighed again and told the truth.
Finally he said.
"So you should behave yourself during this period and stop making the young master unhappy. Only when the young master lives well can we, the slaves, live a good life as well.
Okay, I won't talk to you anymore, the young lady is still waiting for me to serve her, you take care of yourself."
"Okay, I understand. Thank you, Liu Zhu. You must be extra careful when serving the young master these days. If the young master is in a bad mood, she may take her anger out on me, and she may also take her anger out on you. In short, you must be careful in everything."
Huanbi thanked him sincerely and watched Liuzhu's figure disappear.
Her long and thick eyelashes covered the surging waves in her eyes. The pain in her body gradually awakened, and she felt sore, swollen, and numb, but a sense of relief arose in her heart.
His fingers slowly clenched, and an idea gradually became firm.
Not long after Liu Zhu left, Xiao Yinzi slipped in, took out a bottle of medicine from her arms, her face full of shame and reluctance.
"Sister Bi, it's all Xiao Yinzi's fault that you've suffered so much.
Why didn't you tell the truth at that time? That way, at least the master wouldn't take all his anger out on you alone."
"If you don't tell me, you'll only hit me. If you tell me, you'll also be suspected and punished. Why make another person suffer?"
Huanbi waved her hand nonchalantly and forced a smile.
The more she acted as if she didn't care, the sadder Xiao Yinzi felt, and she choked up with sobs.
"But the young lady was about to beat you to death. I wanted to let you go, but the young lady saw through it and kept asking me to beat you again.
If she hadn't grown impatient and stopped bothering you, you would probably have been beaten to death.
Sister Bi, I am really going to kill you."
"Oh, why are you talking about this now? It's all over. I'm not dead yet, it's okay.
These are trivial matters, and you are not allowed to mention them again."
Huanbi seemed unwilling to listen to Xiao Yinzi's nagging, so she interrupted him and reached out to him.
"Give me the medicine, and go out and do your work.
The palace is already short on manpower, and now that I'm down there are even fewer people to do the work. My lady has been in a bad mood these past few days, and if I find fault with you, you'll suffer."
"I won't be in the way. If she wants to find fault, let her. I don't mind.
But Sister Bi, do you still remember what the Imperial Concubine said earlier? What do you think now?
Xiao Yinzi looked at Huanbi with burning eyes and anticipation.
The smile on the corner of Huanbi's lips gradually solidified and disappeared.
The air was silent for a while, and she finally raised her head, met Xiao Yinzi's burning gaze, and said a few words.
And at this time.
In the Suiyuxuan Palace.
Liu Zhu walked in hurriedly, brought the snack plate to the table, and spoke carefully.
"My lady, this candied fruit has just been delivered. I heard it was given by the Imperial Concubine to the ladies of each palace. Would you like to try it?"
"Who sent it? Concubine Hua?
I haven't even bothered her yet, but she's not idle, actually taking the initiative to provoke me!"
Zhen Qia was drinking tea, but when she heard this, she was so angry that she dropped the tea bowl with a thud and cursed through gritted teeth.
The celadon tea bowl banged heavily on the table, and the tea inside splashed out, wetting her sleeves.
She was so angry that she started cursing again.
"What kind of rubbish do you dare send to me? It's such an eyesore! You're becoming more and more skilled at your job now. You dare send something like this to me!"
