Because Doctor Wang guaranteed that she could cure Ling Xihe, and at her plea, Ling Shumo did not immediately deal with Si Jiangzhi, but instead imprisoned him in the secret prison of the palace.
After dealing with Si Jiangzhi, Ling Shumo's gaze fell on Lu Jinshu again, "How long do you plan to maintain this slovenly look? Hurry up and take a shower and change clothes."
Lu Jinshu suddenly came to his senses. He asked Jiufu to prepare some hot water for him and headed towards the bathroom. After taking two or three steps, he suddenly stopped and turned to look at Ling Shumo.
Ling Shumo saw that Lu Jinshu's eyes were red and two lines of clear tears were sliding down from the corners of his eyes. She stood up from her seat and asked with concern, "Did something happen again that I don't know about? Don't keep it in your heart. Tell me and I will solve it with you."
Lu Jinshu shook his head. The tears in the corners of his eyes had not dried yet, but the corners of his lips were already raised, "Your Majesty, thank you." He only said these five words, then walked forward without looking back, and his back soon disappeared from Ling Shumo's sight.
Ling Shumo was stunned for a moment, then she also smiled.
In the bathroom separated by a wall.
Lu Jinshu was completely immersed in the large tub. Jiufu stood behind him, using soap to clean his tangled hair. When his long black hair was finally smooth and sleek, Jiufu couldn't help but sigh, "Your Majesty treats the master so well. No one in the entire harem can compare to him."
Lu Jinshu picked up a petal from the water. He didn't answer Jiufu's question, but slowly closed his eyes. Ever since his daughter became ill, he only slept for an hour or two each day, often awakened by nightmares. He had only intended to close his eyes and rest for a moment, but he fell asleep without realizing it.
Jiufu was right. His Majesty treated him well and loved him deeply. He was very clear about this in his heart, which was why he was so unrestrained in his anger towards Ling Shumo. Ling Shumo cared about him, so besides being angry, he felt even more distressed for him. If Ling Shumo didn't care about him, even if he knelt on the ground and cried until his tears dried up, Ling Shumo would just think he was noisy.
Soon, his daughter would recover, and he and His Majesty had reconciled. Life was getting better and better. He now knew His Majesty's intentions for sure, and there was no need to test them again.
Jiufu found that Lu Jinshu had fallen asleep. He opened his mouth but didn't wake him up in the end.
He moved more gently and added another pot of hot water to the bucket.
The master and His Majesty had finally reconciled, and he could finally put his mind at ease. Meanwhile, those eyes that had been glued to the Chenyou Palace must have been utterly disappointed. After this incident, the master had not completely fallen out of favor, and his relationship with His Majesty had even grown closer.
Outside, Ling Shumo stayed by her daughter's bedside for a while before heading to the Anxiang Palace to visit Jiang He. When she arrived, Imperial Physician Wang had just finished acupuncturing Jiang He, and Fu Yijing was looking at Jiang He with a worried look on his face, not even noticing Ling Shumo's entrance.
It was not until his personal attendant pulled him with a chess piece that Fu Yijing finally woke up from his dream and said, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."
Ling Shumo simply ignored Fu Yijing. He was about to ask Doctor Wang about Jiang He's condition.
Jiang He, lying in bed, suddenly felt his upper body twitch, followed by a violent cough. He suddenly opened his eyes and saw Doctor Wang standing in the front. He was terrified and screamed, "You bitch, don't come over here! I will report your affair with Si Jiangzhixing to His Majesty truthfully..."
He was halfway through his words when he suddenly saw Ling Shumo's face. He grabbed Ling Shumo's sleeve in fear and said, "Your Majesty, please save me. I have discovered their secret. The two of them have teamed up to kill me. I am so scared."
Seeing Jiang He awake and speaking logically, Fu Yijing finally felt relieved and said in a gentle and comforting voice, "Si Jiangzhi has been imprisoned by His Majesty. The reason why Doctor Wang is still standing here is because he wants to treat you. Jiang He, you are safe now. No one will harm you. Don't be so excited. Let go of His Majesty's hand. You've scratched it red."
Jiang He's forehead was covered with beads of sweat. His chest was heaving violently due to his palpitations. "Is that so? So everything is fine..."
Ling Shumo also said to comfort her, "It's okay now, and nothing will happen again in the future."
Jiang He didn't quite understand what the latter part of the sentence meant, so he listened to Ling Shumo continue, "I have selected two attendants from the Yangxin Palace who are skilled in martial arts. From now on, no matter where you go, they will be by your side to protect you. So, there will be no more accidents in the future."
Jiang He finally relaxed. Then he heard a servant come in and announce, "Lady Yan and Chamberlain Qi are here. They heard about your accident and came to visit you."
Lady Yan was referring to Prince Pingyang's sworn brother, Yan Yuyang, another regular attendant of Qi, but Ling Shumo had no impression of him at all.
Jiang He said, "His name is Qi Hezhang. He used to be a servant in the Crown Princess's residence, appointed by Your Majesty personally. After you ascended the throne, he was promoted to the position of Chamberlain..." Jiang He sighed at this point, "Forget it. Judging from Your Majesty's expression, you can't remember anything. I won't waste any more words on him."
In the blink of an eye, the sky was already getting bright.
Several more maids from the harem came to visit Jiang He. Some of them came to see Ling Shumo, but most of them, like Fu Yijing, were genuinely concerned about Jiang He's health. This also indirectly reflected that Jiang He was kind to others and could still gain sincerity with his sincerity.
Fu Yijing was still a little angry. "A bitch like Si Jiangzhi would be fried in oil even after death. If it weren't for him, you wouldn't have suffered so much."
After hearing Fu Yijing's words defending him, Jiang He just smiled, obviously a little absent-minded.
At this time, Ling Shumo was supposed to go to the morning court. Jiang He finally made up his mind and called her, "Your Majesty, please wait a moment. I have something to say to you."
"What's wrong?"
Jiang He bit his lower lip, then let out a long sigh, "Actually, I've wanted to talk about this for a long time, but I was afraid that His Majesty would be unhappy if I mentioned it, so I kept it to myself."
Ling Shumo was really curious at this time, "Stop beating around in circles here, what's going on?" Jiang He was about to speak, but Ling Shumo interrupted him, "Forget it, if it's something that makes me unhappy, then don't say it." Troubles have happened one after another during this period, and she has been upset enough. She really doesn't want to hear more annoying news.
Jiang He was choked, but before he could say anything, Ling Shumo had already walked away.
