The Ninth Prince is indeed fond of Chu Yusu. Now he has even asked about the maids around the girl. Will he ask how many concubines Chu Yusu will bring with her when she gets married?
Princess Wen Yi cursed Jiang Xiancao in her heart for being shameless, and pricked up her ears to secretly listen to their subsequent conversation.
Princess Ruining had a much better impression of her Ninth Brother because Jiang Xiancao had saved her mother and promised to teach her martial arts. She simply called Jiang Huaizhu over and asked directly:
"The little maidservant beside you, was she brought from the Chu family?"
Jiang Huaizhu glanced at Jiang Xiancao quickly, then lowered his eyes and said softly:
"I did bring that maid into the capital from the Chu family. I wonder why the princess asked about her? But has she done anything rude or offended you?"
Princess Ruining shook her head and said, "No."
As she spoke, she looked at Jiang Xiancao and said, "That's what Ninth Brother wanted to ask."
Jiang Huaizhu's face changed slightly, and the uneasiness in her heart that she had just suppressed became restless again, making her unable to control her expression at this moment. She could only lower her head to hide her emotions, for fear that Jiang Xiancao would notice something unusual.
Jiang Xiancao smiled and said, "Miss Chu, I think the little maid next to you looks familiar, as if I've seen her before. Can you ask her to come over so I can take a look?"
Jiang Huaizhu tensed up instantly and blurted out:
"no!"
Hearing this, Princess Ruining showed a look of surprise and looked at her with wide eyes.
Even Princess Wen Yi, who was eavesdropping, looked over openly.
Jiang Huaizhu suddenly realized that she had lost her composure in front of everyone, and quickly bowed to Jiang Xiancao and said:
"Please forgive my rudeness, Your Highness. I have no intention of offending you. It's just that the maidservant has a somewhat eccentric personality, unlike most people. I'm afraid she might contradict you..."
The more she spoke, the more confused she became, and beads of sweat kept appearing on her face.
Princess Ruining could see that she was very nervous and couldn't help but frowned and said, "Ninth Brother just wanted to take a look at the maid. Could he really eat her? Miss Chu, why are you so uneasy? Just let her come over."
After saying that, Princess Ruining directly ordered the maid in the palace to bring Tan You over.
Jiang Huaizhu's breathing became rapid and disordered. She felt dizzy and her mind was full of the image of Tan You being exposed in public and dragging her down with him.
When Jiang Xiancao saw that she was so anxious that she could hardly stand, he became more and more certain that there was something wrong with the little maid.
Princess Wenyi came over at this time, held Jiang Huaizhu by the arm, and asked worriedly, "Sister Chu, what's wrong with you? Is it because the sun is too strong and you are too weak to withstand it? Let me help you to rest under the eaves."
She didn't really think so. She said that just to give Jiang Huaizhu a way out and do him a favor.
But to her surprise, this future sister-in-law who had always been dignified and polite in her eyes actually pushed her away and said, "No, no, I'll stay here."
Princess Wen Yi felt a little embarrassed.
She, a princess, came to help Chu Yusu, a girl from a noble family, but she rejected her kindness in public and even dared to push her. Where could she put her face?
Except for being treated like this by Shen Yubai and that ignorant girl Jingyi, she had never been treated like this!
When Jiang Huaizhu saw Princess Wen Yi's cold face, he realized belatedly what he had just done.
How could this happen? What happened to me that I even offended the princess?
She was shocked and angry, and her head felt even more dizzy. This time she really couldn't stand steadily. She squatted on the ground uncomfortably, holding her head in her hands.
Tan You happened to walk over and saw this scene.
Her eyes darkened slightly, and a feeling of disappointment in her eyes flashed, which was seen by Jiang Xiancao.
Tan You reacted very quickly. The next moment, she put away all the inappropriate expressions, squatted down and hugged Jiang Huaizhu, "Miss, what's wrong with you!"
As Tan You started to make a noise, Princess Ruining reacted and quickly asked the maid in the palace to take Jiang Huaizhu to a place where the sun could not reach, and then sent someone to invite a doctor.
She looked at the bustling corridor and muttered:
"Miss Chu lost control of her emotions first, and then became like this again. It's like she's been possessed by evil spirits."
Jiang Xiancao, who was standing by, listened with a slight smile on his face.
This is being possessed by evil spirits, and it is also a good gift she gave to Jiang Huaizhuo!
Just then, the hemostatic medicine arrived. Princess Ruining pulled Jiang Xiancao to sit aside and carefully applied the medicine to her. "The medicines in our Cheng Palace are all specially made and are extremely effective. Not to mention just a small cut, even a sword wound can be healed quickly if you apply this."
Jiang Xiancao looked at her drooping eyelashes and carefully applied medicine and bandage to her. The smile on the corner of his mouth became warm.
After becoming Shen Tingsi, she not only had the power of revenge, but also had the opportunity to enjoy normal family affection.
The atmosphere on Jiang Huaizhu's side was not so good.
Tan You pinched the acupoints on Jiang Huaizhu's body hard in a place where no one could see, and Jiang Huaizhu finally woke up a little.
She looked up and saw the people surrounding her, her face showing panic.
The doctor from the palace arrived. Since there were only female relatives in the house, he stood outside the corridor and asked the maids to hang a gauze curtain, and then he would take Jiang Huaizhu's pulse through the curtain.
Jiang Huaizhu thought that her current body was taken away by Tianming Pavilion through those evil means, and was affected by the jade bracelet, and her inner uneasiness worsened.
If the doctor found something wrong when taking her pulse, would her identity be exposed...
Once this thought popped up in her mind, it was like bamboo shoots growing wildly after being watered by spring rain, and she could no longer suppress it.
She showed a horrified expression, shrank her body and resisted, "I'm not sick, I don't want my pulse checked!"
The noble ladies around her all had indescribable expressions when they saw her like this.
Sun Bijun, the beloved daughter of the Right Prime Minister, was known for her venomous tongue. "What's wrong with you? What's driving you crazy? The doctor is trying to check your pulse, not to harm you. What are you afraid of?"
Jiang Huaizhu shook his head desperately, "You all want to harm me, I won't fall for it!"
Seeing her acting so crazy, Tan You was so angry that he really wanted to slap her to wake her up.
But there were other people watching, so Tan You could only take advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, reach out and press on Jiang Huaizhu's sleeping point, pinching Jiang Huaizhu until he fainted.
Seeing Jiang Huaizhu unconscious, Sun Bijun said:
"I came to Prince Cheng's mansion today, originally to enjoy the flowers at the invitation of the princess. But first, the Imperial City Bureau raided the mansion, and then Miss Chu performed this crazy play. This young lady is really feasting her eyes."
The noble lady next to her gently tugged at her sleeve, signaling her to go easy on her words.
But Sun Bijun was such a person who was not willing to let go of others' words and never mind the trouble. She even smiled and said to Princess Wen Yi, who had a grim expression:
"Your Highness, you used to praise Miss Chu as a fairy from heaven. You didn't expect that after just a short time of knowing her, this fairy would turn into a crazy woman."
