Chapter 30 Help Me Take a Bath
Xie Chengyan picked up the teacup, poured himself a sip of the already cold tea, and said without looking up, "Ye Lanzhou, from now on in the palace, put away your street-slick manners. Things in the palace can't be done just by saying these things. Also, don't mention your last name to the people in the palace. They can call you Master, Miss, or Madam, but they must not know your first and last name. Do you understand?"
Ye Lanzhou walked out from behind the screen and stood in front of Xie Chengyan. "Madam?"
Xie Chengyan nodded: "Yes, I told the people in the mansion that you are my concubine, and they don't know that you are pregnant."
After hearing this, Ye Lanzhou breathed a sigh of relief. Although she had seen what a pregnant woman looked like, if she really asked her to pretend, she would inevitably reveal her flaws.
This is good, she doesn't have to worry about it.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel happy and smiled faintly. Before she could say thank you, she heard Xie Chengyan said in an unquestionable tone: "Take out the things in the mattress."
As soon as Ye Lanzhou entered the palace, Xie Chengyan was called away on official business. How could she miss such a good opportunity? She went to the pharmacy of the palace and grabbed some medicine.
I originally wanted to prescribe a medicine that would make me look increasingly weak, and then stage a fake death. Wouldn't that give me a chance to leave the house?
Who knew that Xie Chengyan found out and came to ask about it.
Xie Chengyan continued, "I don't care if you steal or rob outside, but this is the palace. If you stole my things, do you think you can leave the palace alive?"
Ye Lanzhou made up his mind. He didn't know any medical skills anyway. It was just a prescription. Whatever she said was the final word!
She took the medicine out from under the mattress and placed it in front of Xie Chengyan: "I..."
She paused, thought for a moment, and then changed her words: "I got a prescription from the pharmacy for an eye disease. I thought the prince saved my life, and I should repay him. But before I could give it to him, he came to me on his own."
Xie Chengyan chuckled, but Ye Lanzhou felt a chill on his back: "Really?"
She nodded repeatedly, as if the medicine really worked for her eye disease.
"Okay then. I'm going to rest later, so you don't have to come. I need to clean myself tonight, so you can apply the medicine for me."
"Ah? Purification..."
"You were the one who took the initiative with the Guangfu Temple incident. Why would you be afraid?" He lowered his voice and tapped the medicine bag twice with his fingers. "Or does this medicine have other effects?"
Ye Lanzhou's face flushed red. It was true that she took the initiative in the Guangfu Temple incident, but if she had not done such a thing at that time, she might be a dead body now.
In the face of life and death, face is a trivial matter.
But putting aside life and death, she is still a somewhat conservative person.
But when you are living under someone else's roof, sometimes you have to bow your head. At least life in the palace is rich, and you don't have to be hungry and cold like when you were a child in Nanyang, and you don't have to fight with wild dogs for half a steamed bun.
The past days were difficult, and now all we need is some medicine from her, or something.
Thinking of this, he turned around and agreed to Xie Chengyan.
But she really didn't have any medicine to treat her eye disease, and she didn't know what was wrong with Xie Chengyan's eyes, so she had to go to the pharmacy again to get a pair of eye-enhancing medicine and just make do with it.
That night, in Xie Chengyan's clean room, he dismissed the servants and only left Ye Lanzhou inside.
It is common for a concubine to help her master bathe.
Ye Lanzhou suddenly understood that he did this to convince the servants in the palace to avoid trouble in the future.
The long lamp illuminated the man's sturdy back clearly. The water vapor in the room gathered into a layer of white mist, and water droplets rolled down his waist into the pool.
