Chapter 50 Throwing Off the Rules
Xie Yunzhao stood up and said, "Mother Qian, these game meats are hard to come by, and I don't know if you are used to eating them. If you are not used to them, have someone take them down and share them. I'm leaving first to check on the night defenses and the horse fodder."
Mother Qian had been drooling at the table for a long time. She hadn't eaten wild vegetables from the fields for many years. When she heard him say that rabbit meat tasted delicious, she became even more greedy. "I didn't expect that the Second Young Master was such a thoughtful person and made all the arrangements properly."
"I am used to being careless when I am alone, but when it comes to the princess, I must personally take care of the matter to ensure that there are no hidden dangers."
"Second Master, you have the heart and the hard work."
Xie Yunzhao walked out with a smile and closed the door considerately.
Mother Qian sat down and no one disturbed her. The princess took a long bath, enough time for her to enjoy her dinner.
First, tear off a rabbit leg. The smell will make your mouth water. Take a bite. It’s just the right saltiness, with the aroma of the tendons and meat. The sauce bursts in your mouth as soon as you bite it.
It smells very good.
I picked up another wild vegetable and it had a slightly bitter taste, exactly the same as when I was a child.
Putting rabbit meat and wild vegetables together gives another satisfying taste, which is worth the trip.
After Chen Shurong finished washing, Yinzhi applied a special rose ointment on her. The princess's skin was so soft and smooth that you could squeeze water out of it.
After finishing her meal, Mother Qian came back to comb Chen Shurong's hair. She wiped it with a headscarf, and after drying it, she applied rose scented oil.
"You all go down, I will accompany the princess at night."
Yinzhi Sui Han said he was stepping down.
Mother Qian stroked the long hair in her hand and couldn't help but sigh, "The princess's hair has grown so long in a blink of an eye."
"Yeah, I'm eighteen years old, not a kid anymore."
"In the eyes of the Princess, you will always be a child."
Chen Shurong was helpless and his resistance was futile.
After taking care of her black hair, two quarters of an hour had passed and Shen Shurong could hardly open her eyelids, so Mother Qian helped her to go to bed to rest.
Just as I was about to get up, I suddenly felt a stomachache.
She endured and stood up, but her back was not straight and the pain became even worse.
"What's wrong, mom?"
"I'm fine, I just need to wash my hands. I'll call Yinzhi to accompany the princess." He must have eaten too much and the food was too tasty.
"Okay, mom, don't hide anything from me. We have a doctor."
"Thank you for your concern, Princess." After forcing herself to say this, Mother Qian rushed out of the door.
When Yinzhi came, she didn't know what happened. Chen Shurong was so worried that she couldn't sleep. "Let someone call a doctor to see Mother Qian."
"Yes, Princess."
Mother Qian felt much better after going to the bathroom. I guess it was because she ate too much.
When he came back, he ran into Xie Yunzhao and asked, "Why is the Second Young Master here?"
"Mother Qian, I just had a stomachache. I went to the toilet twice before I felt better. I wanted to come and see if the princess is okay."
"Second Master is worried that the food is not clean?"
"Yes." Xie Yunzhao looked anxious, and suddenly thought: "Did Mom eat after I left? Did she feel uncomfortable in her stomach?"
Mother Qian frowned and nodded, "I have a stomachache too, I just came back from washing my hands."
"Go and see the princess."
Mother Qian was also anxious to go and no longer emphasized the importance of separation between men and women.
Shen Shurong's face was ruddy and he did not feel any discomfort.
The two of them breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately the princess was fine.
Xie Yunzhao suddenly remembered, "Maybe it's the game, luckily I didn't let the princess eat it."
"Brother Yunzhao, you and Mother Qian should go see a doctor." Shen Shurong was very worried. It was only the first day she was leaving home, and she didn't want to delay her trip.
"Okay, we'll go now. Don't worry. Go to bed early. We have to travel tomorrow." Xie Yunzhao's deep eyes were full of tenderness, but then they were replaced by anxiety. "Princess, I'm in pain again. I'll go first."
"Yinzhi, protect the princess well." Mother Qian followed him out with a frown on her face. She was also in pain. It seemed that she had a stomachache, not just overeating.
Xie Yunzhao ran three times after eating only two bites. She drank all the wild vegetable soup. It’s scary to think about it.
The doctor came to feel her pulse and reluctantly advised: "Second Master, Madam Qian, when you are away from home, it is better to eat less wild vegetables. You will have to go to the toilet more often. But I have prescribed a prescription. Drinking the medicine will relieve some of the pain."
Xie Yunzhao admitted his mistake obediently, "Thank you, doctor. I didn't eat much and didn't like it very much. I will pay more attention next time."
Mother Qian didn't say anything. She felt embarrassed, and the feeling came back.
Xie Yunzhao later went to the toilet three more times.
Mother Qian ran four or three times, and the next day she could not get up and lay weakly on the bed. It was the first time that Shen Shurong saw her so weak.
It's like a tiger whose teeth have been pulled out, losing its dignity as the king of the forest.
Yin Zhi Sui Han looked at this and felt inexplicably relieved.
Chen Shurong felt distressed, but she couldn't delay the trip. Even a day might not be enough, so she left two second-class maids to take care of her. "Mother Qian, I have something important to do this time, so I can't delay."
Mother Qian tried to get up by supporting herself with her elbows, but she couldn't even raise her head. The doctor said she couldn't eat until she hadn't been to the toilet for two hours, and she felt weak and hungry.
"Mom, don't move. You need to conserve your energy."
Xie Yunzhao did not come in, but stood outside the door, his tone very worried, "Mother Qian has suffered, I have already punished the postmaster here."
"As for hurrying on the road, Minister Gu's second son is also at the post station. I will escort the princess first, and when Mother Qian is better, she will be traveling with Gu Kaizhi. There are not many female relatives on the road, so I believe they will catch up with us soon."
"Is Mr. Gu's destination the same as the princess'?" Mother Qian wondered, why didn't they go together?
"It was originally different, but it's not far away. I'll talk to him and he'll send money to mother to find the princess."
Shen Shurong thought this arrangement was very good. It would not delay her schedule and someone would be able to take care of Mother Qian.
She patted Qian's mother's arm and said, "Don't worry, mom. I will take good care of myself and won't do anything that will worry mom and grandma. Just rest assured and take care of yourself."
Mother Qian had no choice but to agree at this time, and Xie Yunzhao's consideration was thorough and reasonable, so she nodded slightly in agreement, "Please tell Mr. Gu, Second Master."
"No trouble, he is my friend, I will go find him right away." As he turned around and left, the corners of his lips curled up.
Gu Kaizhi was very happy when Qingying invited him to stay at the post station yesterday, and Brother Xie had no intention of driving him away.
Seeing Xie Yunzhao coming to find him, he was even happier and walked over to him, "Brother Xie, what do you want from me?"
"There is someone who needs you to take care of him."
"Who?"
"The princess's nanny is ill, so she may have to wait two days before leaving."
Gu Kaizhi stood in awe and bowed: "Don't worry, brother Xie, I will take good care of the people around my sister-in-law."
"Well, Mama Qian has been with the princess for many years, first in the palace and later in the prince's mansion. Now that she is old, she wants to experience the scenery of the common people. Thank you for your hard work."
Gu Kaizhi was so moved that his nose was sore. Brother Xie actually told him that it was hard work. "It's not hard, it's not hard. Kaizhi also likes to play very much. I will definitely take her to experience enough."
I'm keeping an eye on you, Xie Yunzhao patted his shoulder and turned back.
This was the first time that Mother Qian didn’t know the rules and couldn’t even see the princess off to the carriage.
Xie Yunzhao rode on his horse and walked in front.
Once they were far away from the post station, they could not wait to dismount and get into Chen Shurong's carriage...
