When Jiang Huaizhu woke up again, Qin'er had not left yet and was chatting with Tan You in the room.
Tan You didn't want to say anything more to Qin'er, but no matter how she hinted, Qin'er seemed not to understand and kept asking about the customs and habits of Jiangnan.
Fortunately, as a member of Tianming Pavilion, Tan You had done her homework in advance since she had to disguise herself as a maid accompanying Miss Chu to Beijing.
So she responded to Qin'er's questions fluently.
Seeing Jiang Huaizhu wake up, Qin'er said with a smile, "Miss Chu is finally awake. Our prince was worried to death about you."
Jiang Huaizhu thought, Jiang Xiancao was worried that she would not die!
But she forced a smile on her face, "How can I be worthy of the Ninth Prince's concern?"
Qin Er looked at her pale face and said with some distress:
"Oh, Miss Chu, hurry up and take some of the tonic the prince sent. Look at how bad your face is. Even your skin isn't as delicate and smooth as it used to be. On the way to Prince Cheng's mansion, you really ran into something dirty and damaged your vitality."
Tan You narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling that Qin'er's words were suggestive.
Whether before or after her body change, what Jiang Huaizhu cares about most is her appearance.
Hearing this, she quickly got out of bed and walked to the dressing mirror.
Seeing her haggard face in the mirror, she showed a horrified expression and reached out to touch her face, "How could this happen..."
Tan You was watching from the side and knew exactly why this happened.
The spell cast on the jade bracelet was extremely powerful, and Jiang Huaizhu's soul was special. Although she was not affected for long, the runes attached to the jade bracelet had already penetrated into her flesh and blood, thus damaging her soul.
Because the thing has become one with her, when Mr. Xuan forcibly breaks the magic on her body, he will naturally hurt her again.
With two evils combined, the magic has been broken, but the damage caused to Jiang Huaizhu's soul is manifested in this body.
Just like when the stem of a flower rots, the petals will naturally wither.
Jiang Huaizhu covered his face with his hands, his face full of fear and uneasiness, "Tan You, look at me, have I really become ugly?"
Tan You paused and said, "Miss, you are worried too much. You just had a shock earlier, and your blood and qi are weak. You will be fine after a few days of rest."
As she said this, she turned around and said to Qin'er in a neither humble nor arrogant manner:
"The young lady is not in good spirits, please ask Sister Qin'er to leave."
Qin Er sat still and smiled, "But the prince said that he must let me see Miss Chu drink the tonic with my own eyes."
As she said this, she was about to pass Tan You and walk to Jiang Huaizhu.
Tan You's eyes darkened slightly.
Mr. Xuan had instructed that Jiang Huaizhu should not be allowed to come into contact with the Ninth Prince's people, let alone touch the things sent by the Ninth Prince.
Now Qin'er insists that Jiang Huaizhu drink the tonic, and there's no telling what might have been done to the tonic.
So she raised her hand and knocked over the bird's nest porridge in Qin'er's hand.
The porcelain bowl broke on the ground, making a crisp sound.
The sound stimulated Jiang Huaizhu's damaged and unstable soul. She bit her lips tightly, her whole body trembling, and the feeling of being unable to control her body appeared again.
Qin'er looked at Tan You in astonishment, "Sister Tan You, what are you doing? Why did you deliberately knock over the supplements that the prince sent?"
Just at this moment, the voice of Madam Qin came from outside the door:
"What's wrong? Something broke inside?"
Tan You's expression suddenly changed.
Oops, she miscalculated!
Qin'er calculated that the old lady would come at this time, so she deliberately forced her to take action.
When Old Lady Qin came in, she saw the broken porcelain bowls and the precious bird's nest rolling on the ground. She frowned and asked, "Who was so careless as to drop the bowls?"
Qin Er turned around and bowed to Old Madam Qin.
"Madam, I came here on behalf of the prince to bring some supplements to Miss Chu. Miss Chu just woke up, so I was about to give her the bird's nest porridge. Suddenly, Miss Chu's attendant, Sister Tan You, reached out and deliberately dropped the bowl. I don't know what she meant."
When Old Lady Qin saw Qin'er here, she regretted her earlier questioning. Now, when she heard Qin'er complain that it was Tan You who broke the bowl, her face suddenly turned ugly. "What's wrong with you, little girl? Don't you want your young lady to be well? The prince asked the lady to send the tonic. Can you afford to pay for breaking it?"
Tan You lowered her head after being scolded, "This servant didn't mean it, it was just a mistake..."
Qin Er interrupted her, "I don't think you were careless. You clearly reached out on purpose. I saw it clearly. Otherwise, explain to me, how could you bump into me in such a big house?"
Madam Qin quickly tried to smooth things over, "This girl is too young and naive, and she's naturally impulsive. Lady Qin is magnanimous, so don't bother with her. Even if she broke the prince's bird's nest and scattered it on the ground, it really pained me to see it."
She glanced at Tan You and said, "Hurry up and get punished. Yu Shu doesn't need you to serve her anymore!"
Tan You clenched his right hand into a fist, which was tucked into his sleeve, but he still endured it and bowed his head to leave.
With so many people here now, if she takes action it will only cause a commotion and disrupt Mr. Xuan's plan.
So she could only wait until Old Madam Qin left and then find an opportunity to get rid of Qin'er.
After she left, Qin'er said to Old Madam Qin in a gentle voice:
"It's no big deal that she broke the bird's nest. There are plenty of bird's nests in the palace anyway, so the prince won't feel bad about it. But if someone as reckless as her continues to serve Miss Chu, the prince will be worried."
Old Madam Qin nodded quickly.
Ever since Chu Yuxu got into trouble in Prince Cheng's Mansion, she had sent people to inquire about the Queen's feelings with the ladies-in-waiting several times, but received no response.
