Chapter 41 Sickness
After Jiang Fusheng appeared outside the door and finished speaking, he felt the door in front of him open wide, and then Mrs. Lu's figure disappeared like a gust of wind.
Jiang Fusheng was confused and walked into the house. When he looked up, he met the murderous eyes of Emperor Jingxuan. He was so scared that he fell to his knees.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty?"
What did he do to anger His Majesty?
Emperor Jingxuan rubbed his brows and shouted, "Get out!"
Jiang Fusheng nodded hurriedly, "Yes, yes! I'll get out of here right now!"
Just as he was about to leave, Princess Yongshou's voice rang out from the courtyard: "Royal brother?"
Jiang Fusheng stopped where he was, glanced outside and said, "Your Majesty, the princess is here."
After saying this, Princess Yongshou, who had changed into her casual clothes, came to the door. After bowing to Emperor Jingxuan, she asked with concern, "Brother, my husband said you have a headache. How are you feeling now? Should we ask the imperial physician to come and see you?"
Princess Yongshou was feeling uneasy while speaking. Her husband said that the emperor's brother was having a headache because of the noise of her troupe's singing, but he gave up because today was her birthday.
Princess Yongshou felt extremely guilty.
Emperor Jingxuan came out from the inner room and said in a calm tone, "No need."
Yongshou wanted to say something, but when he looked up and saw his hair loose, he was stunned.
"Brother, your hair?"
She remembered that her royal brother always attached great importance to appearance and did not like people with messy clothes. Why didn't he tie his hair up this time?
She was hesitating whether to ask the maid to comb her brother's hair and make-up, but Emperor Jingxuan had already walked away in big strides in his long boots.
"Jiang Fusheng, return to the palace."
Princess Yongshou cautiously asked the servants, "Is there anyone who disturbs my brother while he is resting?"
The servant hesitated and nodded, "It rained just now, and the guests are all in the front hall and the garden. No one should come here."
Upon hearing this, Princess Yongshou raised her eyebrows and said coldly: "Should it be?"
The servant trembled with fear: "Your Highness, please calm down. If someone really disturbs His Majesty's peace, Eunuch Jiang will not let it go. This servant does not look at Eunuch Jiang with any strange expression."
Princess Yongshou recalled Jiang Fusheng's reaction and Emperor Jingxuan's expression just now, and felt a little relieved.
The reason why she was so cautious was that when Emperor Jingxuan came to the princess's mansion last year, a maid who was extremely bold and eager to climb up the social ladder took the opportunity to offer herself to him while serving tea.
Although Emperor Jingxuan did not say anything, Princess Yongshou felt very embarrassed. She was afraid that her brother would misunderstand that she had arranged the maid, so she beat the ignorant maid to death with a stick afterwards.
After that, I became more cautious, for fear of repeating the same mistake.
Princess Yongshou knew that the reason why her brother treated her so well was because of their mother, and also because she knew how to judge the situation and never disobeyed him.
After walking around the room, Princess Yongshou suddenly frowned.
Why did she smell a feminine fragrance in this room?
But how could that be? Didn't the Emperor always dislike women approaching him without permission?
.......
Yueya, who was waiting at the corner of the pavilion, turned around and saw his wife staggering towards him, and hurried forward to support her.
She observed Yun Wan's expression and asked with concern, "Madam, you look so pale, are you feeling unwell?"
After leaving the yard, Yun Wan breathed a sigh of relief. Hearing this, he shook his head and said, "I'm fine, I'm just tired. Let's go quickly."
Leave this place of trouble.
After the rain, the sky cleared up and the blue sky was vast. After the dark clouds dispersed, the sun shone brightly. A rainbow appeared in the clouds in the sky, which was gorgeous and dreamy.
Yun Wan had no intention of appreciating the beautiful scenery at the moment. She just wanted to return home as soon as possible.
Unfortunately, the gravel road was slippery after being washed by rain. Yun Wan was wearing soft-soled embroidered shoes. Even if she wanted to walk faster to avoid falling or spraining her ankle, she couldn't go very fast.
The fresh fragrance of the trees after being washed by rain, mixed with the smell of soil, dispelled Yun Wan's uneasiness.
Walking on the cobblestone path, Yun Wan held Yueya's hand and warned, "Your Majesty does not wish to reveal your whereabouts. Just pretend that what happened today never happened, okay?"
She stared at Yueya seriously, her tone solemn.
Yueya nodded: "I will remember this."
After turning left and right, they finally returned to the familiar garden. After asking a few servants for directions, they finally returned to the front hall of the princess's mansion.
As soon as Yun Wan appeared, Lu Changning hugged her arm as if relieved, and said in a soft voice, "Third Aunt, where have you been just now? We were so worried!"
Yun Wan looked calm and said with a faint smile, "I got lost while wandering around, and it happened to rain heavily, so I found a pavilion to take shelter from the rain."
Because of the sudden rain, the guests who came to the banquet did not have much fun and left one after another after the rain stopped.
The Lu family stayed in the hall for the time being because Yun Wan had not arrived yet.
Mrs. Lu, mindful that they were outside, asked with concern, "Are you not wet?"
Yun Wan: "Thank you for your concern, mother. I am lucky that I didn't get wet."
Madam Lu hummed, "It's getting late, we should go back."
Yun Wan took the same carriage back to Duke Lu's Mansion. Along the way, her expression remained normal until she returned to Cuiwei Garden, when her forced smile suddenly disappeared.
The tense heartstrings suddenly relaxed, and the whole person collapsed on the soft couch as if deflated.
However, as soon as he closed his eyes, the scene in the princess's mansion appeared in his mind.
Yun Wan opened her eyes and slapped the soft pillow beside her hard to vent her anger.
"hiss."
Yun Wan gasped as he felt a sharp pain on the inside of his wrist.
Yueya came in from outside, and seeing this, she quickly put down what she was holding and walked quickly to her side.
Noticing the teeth marks on Yun Wan's hand, she was so frightened that her face changed drastically: "Madam, you are injured!"
She carefully held up Yun Wan's hand, feeling distressed and blaming herself: "How did you get hurt? I didn't even notice it."
Yun Wan was silent for a moment, then muttered softly, "...bitten by a dog."
She didn't know that the emperor had such a hobby.
Yun Wan felt uneasy when she thought of Emperor Jingxuan's dangerous eyes and tone.
She was not some innocent girl who knew nothing. She was very familiar with that look and behavior. It was the look a man gave a woman, but now it appeared on Emperor Jingxuan...
Yun Wan couldn't believe it and subconsciously wanted to escape and pretend that nothing had happened, just like before.
But will the emperor let him go easily?
Yun Wan felt confused.
She didn't understand why the emperor, who had all kinds of women, would have feelings for her?
Maybe it was just a spur of the moment, Yun Wan could only comfort herself in this way.
While she was dazed, Yueya came back with a bottle of medicine in her hand: "I found some ointment to apply to you to avoid scars."
Although the lady said it was a dog bite, she had never encountered a dog around the lady, and the wound looked like it was caused by a human bite.
Yueya was surprised and had a bold guess, but she didn't dare to say it out loud.
Yun Wan was absent-minded and let her apply the medicine on her.
Yun Wan was really frightened today. In addition, he was caught in the rain and the wind, so he felt a little unwell the next day.
Perhaps she was worried and felt heavy-hearted, so she asked the doctor to prescribe some medicine, but she didn't feel better after taking it. She developed a high fever late that night.
