Chapter 23: Fourth Master: Good, very good, very good!
Seeing that the Fourth Master was staring at the warm wine without blinking, Li almost tore the handkerchief off.
This bitch Wen Jiu puts on a show in front of the Empress, seducing the Fourth Master into staring at her. What a vixen!
She couldn't help but think of the time when she was first assigned to the Fourth Master.
At that time, the government had not yet been divided, and we lived in the East Third House.
Wenjiu was a senior palace maid whom no one dared to offend. Before Fu Jin entered the mansion, all the losses in the mansion were in her hands.
Things change, and now she is already a concubine. She is just warming wine and her fate is to serve others!
Wenjiu happened to pass by with some tea for rinsing his mouth. Li narrowed her eyes, stretched out her leg, and tripped Wenjiu's foot.
At a critical moment, Wen Jiu turned around neatly, holding the tray with one hand, holding it steady without spilling a drop.
She was already worried, on guard against someone trying to attack her.
A cold light flashed in Li's eyes, and she suddenly smiled: "Look at me, I wanted to help my mother rinse her mouth, but I didn't expect to almost run into Miss Wen."
Then, he covered his mouth in surprise and said, "Hey, what's wrong with your arm? Let's take a look."
As he was pulling, the sleeve flipped up. Wenjiu was holding a tray in his hand and before he could adjust it, his sleeve was pulled up by Li.
"Oh! What happened? Why are there so many wounds on your body?"
Li covered her lips in surprise, a hint of confusion flashed in her eyes, and almost subconsciously, she looked at the Fourth Master.
Tonight, I'm here to warm the wine and serve you in bed. Could it be...
Realizing what she had done, Li was so frightened that her face turned pale. She immediately covered the arm that was warming the wine: "I...I saw it wrong..."
I wanted to humiliate Wen Jiu, but I didn't expect that it would involve the Fourth Master...
"I'm seeing things?" De Fei suddenly sneered, "This palace's eyes are not blind yet!"
"Jiu'er, come here!"
Wenjiu was also nervous. This situation seemed unexpected.
Defei pulled the warm wine over and personally pulled up the clothes on her arm. When she saw the wound clearly, her face became even uglier!
"How dare you!" Defei was furious and slapped the table!
Everyone around was startled, including the Fourth Master, and they all stood up and knelt.
"Mother, calm down."
"Your Majesty, calm down."
Defei's eyes swept over the people around her, and finally her gaze fell on the Fourth Master.
"Fourth Brother, Wenjiu was someone I specifically assigned to you. How could he be injured like this right under your nose? Where do you think I, your mother, stand?"
The Fourth Master pursed his lips and said nothing.
Wen Jiu sensed something was wrong and immediately explained: "No, Madam, the injuries on my body were caused by me accidentally falling..."
"Shut up!" De Fei covered her chest and gasped for several breaths. "Even now, you are still covering up for him!"
She turned her gaze to the Fourth Master and saw his expressionless face, which made her even more furious. "Has your conscience been eaten by a dog? Jiu'er's mother is your wet nurse! Her mother sacrificed her life to save you, and this is how you treat the child left behind by your wet nurse!"
When these words came out, Aunt Wen was shocked. It was too late to stop her. She just tried to wink at Concubine De.
Unfortunately, Concubine De is very angry now and can’t see it at all.
The Fourth Master had a mocking smile on his face as he knelt calmly without saying a word.
"My Lady, it really wasn't the Fourth Master." Wen Jiu realized something was wrong and immediately explained, "I just fell down accidentally. Look, this is just a scratch, not caused by anyone, and the bones aren't broken at all."
Wenjiu said this while moving his arms.
Sensing that Concubine De seemed to have regained some of her rationality, Wen Jiuyou approached and said with a smile, "The Fourth Master treats me very well and even stayed overnight yesterday. It was my fault that I fell down.
Your Majesty, please don't be angry. If you get angry and make yourself sick, I don't know how sad you will be."
As he spoke, Wenjiu carefully moved the snacks that Concubine De had instructed him to give to Fourteenth towards him.
When Concubine De looked at the snack and thought of her youngest son, her expression relaxed.
"Girl, you've been with the Fourth Master for a few years, and you've become even better at pleasing me."
He glanced at the Fourth Master and said, "Old Fourth, I'm just talking casually. Why are you kneeling on the ground? Get up quickly."
Concubine De tried to whitewash the situation, and the Fourth Master stayed with her, but there was no warmth in his eyes.
The Fourth Master stood up slowly and sat down again.
"Come here, go to the side hall and ask the imperial physician to come and check on Jiu'er." De Fei patted the hand that was warming the wine and said soothingly, "Don't worry, you have lost your mother, and I still have your back."
When Wenjiu heard this, his hair stood on end.
"Your Majesty, I am in good health. Lord Beile has already asked the doctor to check me out. There is nothing wrong with me!"
Damn, the Fourth Master is not in a good mood. What if he finds out that she lied to him about being sick...
I dare not think about it!
"Don't worry, I will support you, and no one can let you suffer." Defei even gave Fu Jin and Li a warning look.
"No!"
Sensing the looks from everyone around him, Wen Jiu said carefully, "My Lady, today is a very auspicious day. Wouldn't it be inappropriate to call a doctor? How about waiting a couple of days before seeing a doctor?"
Concubine De waved her hand: "It's alright, it's the Emperor's grace that imperial physicians have been stationed in every palace today, just in case of emergency."
Wen Jiu struggled hard, "Your Majesty, why are you bothering so many people with such trivial matters? How about letting Lord Beile take care of it first?"
De Fei glanced at the Fourth Master, but before she could say anything, she heard the Fourth Master say, "It's okay."
This was the second sentence the Fourth Master said besides greetings.
Concubine De nodded, feeling somewhat relieved.
The fourth brother still has some conscience.
Wenjiu wanted to die.
She never expected that Concubine De was nice to her, but this love was too heavy.
My queen, do you know that you pushed your little wine into the abyss with your own hands?
Wenjiu is now like crossing a single-plank bridge, with both front and back blocked and no way to get through.
There is no other way, warming the wine can only...
Fainted!
"Ah, what's going on?"
Concubine De was startled and frowned even tighter: "Quick, get the imperial physician to come!"
Wenjiu: “…” Let me die right away!
Within a quarter of an hour, an old doctor with a white beard came to take Wenjiu's pulse.
No surprises.
The old doctor breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The girl is in good health. It's just some external injuries. She will be fine after taking some medicine and resting for a while."
Warming wine: "......"
I can't support it anymore.
Which uncle is already angry.
Wenjiu shrank her neck in fear, and when she noticed that the Fourth Master was looking at her, she gave a smile that was uglier than crying.
The Fourth Master's cold gaze passed over the warm wine and fell on the face of the imperial physician: "Are you really okay?"
The imperial physician immediately clasped his fists and replied, "Replying to Fourth Prince, this young lady is fine. Her external injuries will heal after some time."
The Fourth Master's dark eyes finally showed some emotion: "Good, very good, very good."
