Chapter 162 Was this bandaged by Jing Ye?
Fu Dong found a brocade box and carefully packed the broken jade tablets on the table, then immediately went out to prepare things for Jiang Xue's grooming.
Soon, Fudong came into the room with Xiaochun, holding a copper basin. As she was helping Jiang Xue up, Xiaochun immediately said, "Your Highness, as you ordered, I delivered a letter to Aunt Dong at the key gate of the palace last night."
Fu Dong quickly wet the handkerchief in hot water and handed it to Jiang Xue.
"Well," Jiang Xue took the handkerchief and wiped her face, then asked casually, "Has the person been taken away?"
"Yes," Xiaochun said as she helped Jiang Xue put on new underwear, "Not long after the Prince Consort went out to attend court this morning, the eunuch Feng Gong from Yi'an Palace came and announced the Empress's order to take the woman and the child back to the palace."
"Is there any movement in the front yard?" Jiang Xue asked.
"Huang Fu looked anxious, but after all, it was the Queen's order, so he would not dare to stop it. The woman was very frightened, and I comforted her a few words, telling her to take the child with her. Although she was very weak, she was polite and obedient. I asked someone to wash her and the child, and then they got on the sedan chair and left."
"Where's Huang Fu?"
"As soon as the people from the palace left, he went to the stables to get a carriage. I guess he is waiting for Prince Consort Gu at the palace gate now."
Jiang Xue smiled and said, "He must be extremely anxious. Let him be. Gu Lintan will get the news before lunch and will probably rush to me without stopping. You guys should hurry up and don't let him block me."
Xiaochun couldn't help laughing, covering her mouth and laughing out loud, saying, "Your Highness, why do you have to avoid him like a ferocious tiger? Even if you saw him, you returned to the Gu Mansion late at night, and you hadn't gotten up when the decree was announced this morning. This matter has nothing to do with you anyway."
"I'm not avoiding him," Jiang Xue smiled lightly and said calmly, "I want to let him know that when I woke up, I was also panicked when I heard the news, so I rushed into the palace. It was all for him."
Fu Dong washed and wrung the handkerchief, then changed it to another one for Jiang Xue to wash her hands.
"Your Highness, I really don't understand," Fu Dong frowned and said indignantly, "He dared to do such a disrespectful thing, but Your Highness insisted on pretending to be nice to him. Why do you have to put yourself in such a difficult position? When have you ever suffered such hardship in the past ten years? If I were to say, just tie him up and throw him in front of the emperor. Not to mention that the marriage is a foregone conclusion, would His Majesty still let him live?"
Jiang Xue glanced at her calmly and said, "Look at your sharp tongue. Can you really be my master now?"
Fu Dong bit her lip and said pitifully, "I dare not - oh, Your Highness, be careful with this hand, don't let it get wet!"
Jiang Xue stared at her palm wrapped in white cloth for a moment, then said decisively, "Take this off for me, and apply a thick layer of the wound medicine I brought from the palace. After you finish putting on makeup and combing your hair, wash the medicine off your hands, and don't let the Queen Mother see anything."
When Xiaochun saw Jiang Xue's injured hand, he seemed to want to say something but stopped. In the end, he looked at Jiang Xue's frowning face and said nothing, but just sighed softly.
Fu Dong looked at the complicated knot wrapped around Jiang Xue's palm, stretched out his hand and tried it carefully with a frown, muttering, "What kind of method is this? It's hard to untie. Your Highness, wait a minute."
Jiang Xue asked in confusion: "Didn't you bandage it for me?"
Fudong shook his head and was about to say something when Xiaochun interrupted him quickly, "Look how stupid you are. Go find a pair of scissors and just cut it open."
A look of sudden enlightenment appeared on Fu Dong's face, and he muttered, "Yes, yes, I'll go get the scissors right away."
Seeing the strange expressions on their faces, Jiang Xue had some guesses in her mind and asked, "Did Jing Ye bandage this?"
Xiaochun coughed twice and began to talk about something else. "Your Highness, what color clothes do you want to wear when you enter the palace today? I will go and find some for you first."
Jiang Xue roughly understood that the two men were afraid that she would get too involved with Jing Ye. She shook her head helplessly, laughed twice, and said, "It's all right. You've always had the best taste in dressing me up. Just pick one for me."
Fu Dong found a pair of scissors and cut the cloth strips gently and carefully, revealing the wound inside. He couldn't help but exclaimed, "Ah, Your Highness, how come the wound is so deep? You must be careful these days. Remember not to get it wet, or it will fester and become bad."
Jiang Xue nodded and looked at her wound again and again. It seemed to have healed a lot. There were still some traces of green ointment on it, which had dried up.
I don’t know what elixir Jingye used.
She looked up at Fu Dong and said, "Well...it's okay. It looks like it will heal soon. Don't make a fuss. Go get the golden wound medicine."
Something suddenly occurred to her and she asked, "Where are Mo Lian and Mo Tian?"
Fudong's eyes showed some resentment, and then he looked away at Xiaochun who was concentrating on choosing clothes in the closet.
Jiang Xue understood and said seriously, "From now on, the two of them will serve me closely like you. If nothing happens, it's fine... But don't act like you are facing a great enemy. Be nicer and more friendly to others on weekdays, and don't make them angry for no reason. Especially you, Fu Dong, you are always straightforward, sometimes you should think before you speak."
Fu Dong pouted in grievance and said, "How dare I let them get angry? Those two people with unknown origins were like stones. They had no expression on their faces except for a smile. Sometimes it was scary to look at them."
"Is it not good to smile at you?" Jiang Xue scolded with a smile, "Do I have to show you my displeasure every day to make you feel comfortable?"
"Your Highness, don't listen to Fudong's nonsense," Xiaochun came over after finding some clothes, and said, "I have already asked someone to clean out the two rooms to the east of Your Highness's house, and live not far from Your Highness. But those two girls don't look like ordinary servants, so we dare not arrange work for them without permission, and will wait for Your Highness to arrange it in person in the future."
"It doesn't matter if you dare or not," Jiang Xue spread her arms and let the two put on her clothes. She said softly, "They both have some martial arts skills. The reason they were assigned to my side is also for my sake. You can get along with them the same way you get along with yourselves on weekdays. By the way, is Qiong Shuang awake?"
"Not yet," Xiaochun squatted down to fix Jiang Xue's waist belt, and then took out the purple jade tassel forbidden step and tied it, carefully adjusting the tassels on it several times, and said, "Miss cousin came back last night and scared us. She was so drunk that she was unconscious. This morning, I asked the kitchen to make sobering soup. I was afraid that she would have a hangover and a headache, so I dare not go and call her now."
"Fudong, let Xianglu wake her up first, and bring her the hangover soup." Jiang Xue walked to the dressing table and sat down, then said, "Oh, and ask the kitchen to boil some hot water. Let her take a bath and have some incense, so she won't come into the palace drunk."
Fu Dong nodded in agreement, quickly took out the golden wound medicine and applied it to Jiang Xue, then took the copper basin and left.
Xiaochun picked up the comb and asked, "Your Highness, what kind of bun do you want to wear today?"
Seeing that there was no one around, Jiang Xue turned around and asked in a deep voice, "Where are the people who came back last night settled? Have other people in the mansion seen them?"
