Chapter 196: Sleeping in the Same Palace



The night was dark, the bed was set, and Princess Jiuli stroked Jiuqi's forehead and looked at Miss Jun who was walking over.

"Miss Jun, please go wash up." she said.

Miss Jun's clothes had been soaked by sweat three times while performing acupuncture, boiling medicine and feeding the doctor. She did not refuse or thank him when she heard this.

"Miss Jun, please come this way." A palace maid led the way.

The washroom is next door.

This is Jiuqi's clean room. Miss Jun scanned it one by one and found that there was no change from before.

She walked slowly past a closet and reached out her hand seemingly casually, accurately reaching into the gap between the closet and the wall, and at the same time touched a box.

A slight smile appeared on Miss Jun's lips.

This brat actually hid his toy box here.

However, Jiuli is married, and no one is watching over him. He won't be discovered either, so why is he still hiding?

Miss Jun's eyes dimmed.

Maybe when I was playing, I was hoping that someone would find me and scold me.

Playing anything alone is lonely and boring.

"Miss Jun." The two palace maids turned around from the bathing pool, "The water is ready."

After saying this, Miss Jun came forward and opened her arms without any restraint, allowing them to help her undress.

He undressed himself piece by piece until he was completely naked.

The maid lowered her head and stepped back, watching Miss Jun walk gracefully into the bathtub and submerge herself in the water.

This Miss Jun was really calm and composed. The two palace maids looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes.

Being served and bathed by a strange maid in a strange place did not feel the slightest bit restrained or uncomfortable. Instead, it seemed like a habit.

As maids in the palace of Prince Huai, they were isolated from the world and did not know any news from the outside world. It was only because there were many people coming from outside these days and the words of the imperial doctors that they knew that this Miss Jun was an excellent doctor, but they did not know her background.

Maybe doctors with good medical skills are very indifferent.

The two palace maids lowered the gauze curtains, bowed their heads, stepped back a few steps, and stood aside, waiting quietly.

A maid came in and whispered something to the two of them, pointing to the closet outside. The two maids were a little surprised, but immediately answered yes.

Miss Jun didn't take long to wash and came out soon. Two palace maids took out a sheet to wrap her and wiped her. At the same time, they led her outside. One of the palace maids opened the cabinet, which contained neatly arranged underwear and outer clothes.

Miss Jun saw that these were women's clothes. Jiuqi was sick, and her sister must be eating and living here, so the clothes were naturally prepared.

Logically speaking, with her current status, she should be able to wear the clothes of palace maids, but she didn't expect that she would be wearing the clothes of Princess Jiuli.

But it was thanks to her that she knew that these were Princess Jiuli's clothes. If it were someone else, they probably wouldn't think so at all and would just think that they belonged to a palace maid or a servant.

My sister is like this, she always does things of kindness that are hard for others to notice, and she says that it is so subtle and silent.

Miss Jun spread out her arms and let the palace maid help her to dress. Suddenly, her body stiffened and she couldn't help but take a few steps forward.

The palace maids were caught off guard and almost tripped.

"Miss Jun?" they asked hurriedly, watching Miss Jun stop in front of the closet and look at a piece of clothing.

Did she want to choose her own clothes? The two maids looked at each other, thinking that this was too rude.

Miss Jun looked at the dress in the closet and felt a little sad.

This is not my sister's, this is her underwear.

It was an old dress that her mother had made for her on her birthday the year before her father and mother passed away.

Later she wore this undergarment when she got married.

She died and her body was buried in the Lu family's cemetery. Is this underwear the only thing left with her sister and Jiuqi?

Miss Jun put her hand on her chest, lowered her head and coughed to hide the tears that were about to burst out.

"Miss Jun, are you okay?" the two palace maids asked hurriedly and concernedly.

Miss Jun stretched out her hand and pressed an acupuncture point on her wrist, which stimulated her to cough repeatedly. The palace maid outside was alarmed and brought her tea, and Miss Jun slowly calmed down.

"I'm ashamed," she said hoarsely, taking the tea to moisten her throat and wiping the tears from her face with a handkerchief. "I have this old dry cough."

Can't she cure it? Several palace maids looked at each other. Is this what they call a doctor who cannot cure himself?

Miss Jun took a deep breath, put down the teacup, and calmed down.

"Okay, let's go out," she said.

The lights in the bedroom were dimmed a little, leaving only a night light beside Prince Huai's bed. Princess Jiuli was sitting beside the bed, moistening Prince Huai's lips with chopsticks.

Lu Yunqi stood aside and looked at Miss Jun who came out.

Miss Jun ignored his gaze and didn't seem to care that she was wearing underwear. She just walked straight to the bed, leaned over to look at Prince Huai, stroked his forehead, cheeks, behind his ears and neck for a moment, and took his pulse.

"It's hard to tell right now," she said.

"Then wait." Princess Jiuli said, smiling at Miss Jun, "Miss Jun, please take a rest first. If you rest well, His Highness will be able to rest well too."

Miss Jun nodded.

"Then I'll rest first." She said, turned and walked to the bed beside her, took off her shoes and lay down.

Princess Jiuli glanced at Lu Yunqi.

"You should take a rest too," she said.

Like a concerned wife greeting her husband.

More than alike, they are actually husband and wife.

Miss Jun thought as she lay on the couch with her back to this side.

"I'm right here." Lu Yunqi's voice came, his voice was mellow but unrejectable, like a domineering husband.

Of course he was unwilling to leave, but wanted to watch to prevent the emperor's arrangements from going wrong again, as he had done before.

My sister will definitely not leave. From the brief moment just now, it can be seen that she will definitely not leave Jiuqi's side for a moment. Even if she dies, she wants to watch him die with her own eyes, unlike what I did before.

I don't know how many days after my death it was before I told her the truth, but it certainly wasn't at that time. They had to cover it up, to decorate my chopped-up body. Everything had to be covered up before it could be announced to the public, so that the sister could cry for her younger sister.

Miss Jun closed her eyes.

She would not go anywhere else to rest, she wanted to stay here and take care of her sister and Jiuqi.

Princess Jiuli said nothing more, and the room fell into silence.

But when daybreak came, Jiuqi's fever had not subsided.

"It's hard to reduce his fever." Princess Jiuli did not scold him hastily. Instead, she looked very understanding.

Even if she saw Jiuqi dead at this moment, she would probably do the same.

"It's okay, it's okay, he was going to die anyway," she might say.

I have already accepted my fate to this extent.

Miss Jun felt like laughing and crying at the same time, so she took a deep breath.

But she didn't believe it. She believed that God was fair and let her live. He also let her learn advanced medical skills from her master. He also let her come to the capital when Jiuqi was sick, so that she could stand on her feet and have reasonable reasons to treat Jiuqi.

How could Jiuqin die? No.

"It's okay. I'll do it again. I think the fever has subsided a little." She said, taking out the golden needles, "I'll give the needles to Jiu... Your Highness first, and then I'll go make the medicine."

Hearing her say this, Lu Yunqi, who had been standing quietly by the side without saying a word, looked over.

"Why don't you let others make the medicine?" he asked calmly.

Princess Jiuli also looked at her.

"Isn't this faster?" Lu Yunqi continued, looking at her with a pair of cold and sharp eyes.

Miss Jun stood up straight and looked at him, meeting his gaze.

"Because I'm worried." She said, "Lord Lu, you know that I made a bet with the imperial doctors. Many people are waiting for me to lose, but I don't want to lose. I don't trust anyone except myself."

It turns out that you don't get along with the imperial doctors. No wonder you are so cautious. Princess Jiuli smiled and looked away.

Lu Yunqi looked away from her for a moment and waved his hand.
