Chapter 29 The Prince is More Humane Than the Jiang Family
"How is her injury?"
"The servants in the Jiang Mansion are too cruel. If it weren't for that girl's strong will, I'm afraid she wouldn't have made it this far. However, this girl has new injuries on top of her old ones. If we don't want to leave any root causes of illness, we have to take good care of her."
Xie Lingyun responded, and after a moment's silence, he asked, "Who is the person who treated Miss Jiang?"
"His name is He Cong. Although he has some medical skills, his qualifications in the Imperial Hospital are mediocre, and he can only treat palace maids and eunuchs. But I heard that he was expelled from the Imperial Hospital six months ago because of a mistake he made."
Xie Lingyun's eyebrows furrowed, "You're not the imperial physician."
Slender and beautiful fingers lifted the car curtain, revealing that handsome and heroic face.
"Cang Yi, go and tell Miss Jiang, so that these young ladies won't have to take detours and waste time."
Jiang Qingyue woke up the next day. She opened her eyes for a long time before she saw clearly that the person in front of her was Que'er, whose eyes were already swollen from crying.
Her voice was hoarse. "What time is it?"
Que'er's voice was also hoarse, but she became hoarse from crying.
"It's already the evening of the next day."
Because of the beating, Jiang Qingyue could only lie on the bed.
"Is there any news from Big Sister?"
Que'er shook her head. "As soon as Master Xie left, they closed the courtyard gate and said the young lady would be confined to her house for a month. Now, apart from the people who bring her food and drinks, there's no news at all."
She wanted to change her position, but any slight movement caused severe pain in her body, so she just held Que'er's hand tightly.
"Miss, don't move. I just applied medicine to you."
"Where did you get the medicine?"
"Yesterday, Master Xie invited the imperial physician to come. He also left some medicine and told me to apply it to the young lady once a day. He said that the disease would heal in seven or eight days."
Jiang Qingyue's expression froze.
Xie Lingyun?
Speaking of this, Que'er burst into tears.
"If it weren't for Master Xie pleading for the young lady, she would have died before she could even withstand twenty strokes of the cane."
Xie Lingyun also pleaded for her?
Before Jiang Qingyue lost consciousness, she seemed to have heard a familiar voice. It turned out to be him.
Que'er didn't notice and just kept talking to herself: "The young lady said that Master Xie is not easy to mess with, but if I were to say, Master Xie is more humane than anyone else in the Jiang family."
"Not only did he punish Madam Wang, he also spoke up for you, young lady. He even said in front of the master and his wife that the second young lady was unlucky and told her not to go to the eldest young lady's side anytime, which made the second young lady so angry that she fainted.
If he hadn't suddenly appeared, no one would have cared about the lady's life or death."
Just as he finished speaking, Que'er hit his mouth again.
"Pooh, pooh, pooh, the bad things don't work but the good things do. Miss will definitely live a long life."
Jiang Qingyue's mind was a little unclear, but she kept repeating what Que'er had just said in her mind.
But she clearly remembered that Xie Lingyun hated her when he came back from Northern Xinjiang.
No, it's not hate, it's disgust.
She never let go of Que'er's hand. Que'er looked down and saw the wound on the back of her hand, then she thought of something else and started crying again.
"I didn't know that the young lady had suffered so much in the Northern Frontier. Those scars must be painful, right?"
Jiang Qingyue pursed her lips and said nothing.
She grew up in the northern border and had never had a good day since she was a child. She was lucky to be alive and had never experienced the feeling of being served by others.
Later, when she had Que'er, she did her own things to the best of her ability, and took a bath and changed clothes by herself, so Que'er never knew that she had so many old scars on her body.
"I am your servant, a servant loyal to you. They don't want you to be their family, so from now on you are my family. If you feel bitter, you can cry out, don't hold it in your heart."
Que'er's words really made Jiang Qingyue tearful.
The hand holding Que'er suddenly tightened, and there was an imperceptible tremor hidden in the hoarse voice.
"You shouldn't have to endure these hardships, young lady."
From beginning to end, Jiang Guiyu should have suffered all these pains.
It is Jiang Guiyu's destiny to go to the northern border.
Why, why should the lady suffer on behalf of Jiang Guiyu.
Why!
Que'er cried even harder.
"I understand."
Jiang Qingyue shook her head.
She doesn't understand.
Jiang Qingyue let go of Que'er's hand and ordered in a hoarse voice, "I'm thirsty, go get me a glass of water."
The bird responded.
Jiang Qingyue lowered her eyes and looked at her wrist. She should have returned to her own life three years ago, but because of the Jiang family's bias towards Jiang Guiyu, she was abandoned in the northern border and suffered for three more years.
No, it wasn’t three years of suffering, she died in the northern border three years ago.
When Que'er came back, Jiang Qingyue had calmed down and became the carefree person she used to be again.
Jiang Qingyue asked Que'er to guard the door every day, for fear of missing any news from Jiang Wanyin and the court doctor.
Doctor Qian gave her good medicine, and she herself understood medical principles, so with her self-care, she recovered greatly in just four or five days.
But in the past four or five days, apart from the irregular delivery of meals every day, the gate of the courtyard has never been opened, and no one has sent any messages.
Jiang Qingyue's eyelashes trembled a few times. Under such power, she was helpless even though she was confined to the Jiang Mansion.
In that austere imperial palace, my senior sister died inexplicably in Concubine Wan's palace. Her body was carried out without a trace left, thrown into a mass grave, and eaten by wild beasts.
How could she do it alone?
She cannot be alone, she needs someone to back her up and someone she can rely on.
Once her elder sister gets better, she will slowly start making plans.
Que'er just happened to bring in the food box. She opened it with great joy and saw that there were only two steamed buns and two plates of vegetables.
The few vegetables on the plate could be counted on one hand, and there was a faint smell of sour food.
"Miss, they are simply bullying!"
Jiang Qingyue smiled faintly, "That's already too merciful."
The sparrow was speechless. How can this be called kindness?
Jiang Qingyue did not explain. At this time, they should take advantage of her illness and kill her.
Starve her to death or poison her, the dead person will not be in danger.
Jiang Qingyue raised her eyes and looked at Que'er, "Find an opportunity and do something for me. Spread the message."
Que'er's eyes lit up and she nodded immediately.
In Yuehuaxuan, Jiang Guiyu has always felt uneasy since that night.
It’s not about Jiang Wanyin, but about Xie Lingyun.
Xie Lingyun came to the mansion under the guise of the Imperial Concubine, saying that he came for his elder sister, but the more she thought about it, the more wrong it seemed. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that he came for Jiang Qingyue.
But apart from that day, there was no news from the Xuanping Marquis Mansion.
It also seemed that she was overthinking it.
The more she thought about it, the more confused she became. She called Jinxiu over and asked, "Has Mother Wang come over in the past few days?"
Jinxiu shook her head. "After Master Xie punished Madam Wang, Madam punished her again. Madam Wang has been very well behaved these past few days, serving Madam the whole time. That's why she's been busy. But Madam Wang said everything has been arranged, so Miss, don't worry about it."
Jiang Guiyu's heart tightened, and he murmured, "If only I hadn't listened to Mother Wang and sent the court doctor away."
Jinxiu looked towards the door and felt relieved when she saw that there was no one there.
"Miss, the court doctor is in cahoots with Jiang Qingyue. He's become Jiang Qingyue's man in just a few days. If this happened a little longer, it would be disastrous. This person can't be kept alive. This is a good opportunity to deal with him to prevent further trouble in the future."
"Besides, he's been in the mansion for so many years, and he couldn't cure the young lady, nor could he cure your illness. What's the point of keeping him around? He's useless."
Seeing that she was still a little worried, Jinxiu said in a gentle voice: "Don't worry, Miss, I will do my job steadily and nothing will go wrong."
