Chapter 32 The Gut is Ineffective
Yu Fei was wondering why the female dragon didn't move last night. She didn't like being close to the male dragon. Dingxiang walked in from the door and interrupted her thoughts.
"Miss, you don't know that this morning the Queen sent someone to offer you a position, but the Prince refused!"
Dingxiang was indignant.
"What's going on?"
Yu Fei felt weak all over and was half lying on the bed to rest. He raised his eyes after listening.
"I guess he just wants you to serve him as a slave. Your Highness is too stingy." Ding Xiang said with a bitter face, "I walked all the way back from the gate of the East Palace, and several palace maids laughed at us openly or secretly."
Yu Fei sighed: When the wall falls, everyone pushes it. Although she didn't fall, sometimes she served the prince day and night. The East Palace is a big place, and everyone knows it.
The Queen specially gave her a position because she said to A Shen that day, "I have been in the palace for a few days but have no name or status." However, Jing Cang refused it. In the eyes of others, he only treated her as a plaything and didn't care about her future.
Yu Fei actually hoped that he really treated her as a plaything, so that at least she would have a chance to survive. What she was afraid of was that he regarded her as an enemy.
She asked casually, "What position?"
Given her family background, the Queen probably wouldn't give her a high rank.
"Baolin," Dingxiang said, "She is a seventh-rank official. Although it is not high, it sounds better than being a maidservant with no name or status."
Yu Fei didn't care. Nowadays, it was common for people to have one-night stands or long-term bedmates. She didn't care about status as much as the ancients did.
But in Dingxiang's eyes, Jing Cang's behavior is the same as "a scumbag who only loves and does not get married and only wants to be a hooligan to the woman."
She thought about the original character and asked, "Is the prince in the front hall or out?"
After all, it's a matter that affects her personal interests, so she has to ask even if she's just pretending.
She was indeed curious about how he would deal with her after he freed the snake.
Ding Xiang slapped her forehead and said, "Oh, by the way, Miss, just now the maid from the Crown Prince's bedroom came to tell you to come over. She said that the Crown Prince needs a new medicine for his leg today..."
Yu Fei understood immediately. It had been almost two months since he broke his leg, and the ointment he used now was different from the previous one. He was afraid that she would not be able to adapt to the new medicine and would complain about the pain in her leg again, so he specifically asked her to try the medicine.
Yu Fei passed by.
In the bedroom, Jing Cang sat at the head of the table, with several imperial doctors waiting beside her. When Huo Dao saw her coming in, he led her behind a screen on the side.
There was a gap between the two landscape screens, and Yu Fei sat and looked through it.
An imperial physician applied brown-black ointment to Jing Cang's knees and asked if it hurt. Jing Cang made a gesture and Huo Dao came over to ask her.
Yu Fei was stunned.
She didn't feel anything in her legs, but Jing Cang's face was pale and his brows were wrinkled, and he obviously looked in pain.
Thinking back to the lovemaking last night, the female pig didn't move at all. Then a piece of bad news came to my mind like a bolt from the blue - the same root pig was ineffective.
In an instant, she suddenly felt that the prince's bedroom, where she usually relied on snakes to commit crimes and abuse her power, seemed to have turned into a gloomy and terrifying Shura field filled with torture instruments, and Huo Dao was the executioner who was taking her to death.
She shuddered uncontrollably and stepped back suddenly, causing the chair to make a sharp "squeak" sound.
Everyone looked over.
"What's wrong?" Jing Cang asked.
Huo Dao saw Yu Fei's face turn pale and his body shrank, not knowing why. Fearing that the prince would be worried, he walked out from behind the screen and shook his head at him.
At this moment, Yu Fei was afraid of Huo Dao, and even more afraid of Jing Cang. She was afraid that he would notice that Xiong Gu was gone, and that he would notice her panic.
She tried her best to calm herself down and whispered, "I didn't sleep well last night and I'm not feeling well."
Jing Cang smiled and said, "Do you want to ask the imperial physician to take a look?"
Yu Fei heard his joke and said sullenly, "No, I'll just go back and take a rest."
Jing Cang winked at Huo Dao. Huo Dao approached her and asked, "What about this medicine?"
It seemed as if he was afraid that she was not present during the drug trial, so he started to cry out in pain.
Yu Fei lowered his eyes, thought for a moment, and said, "Which medicine can heal the injury faster? Let him use that one."
Huo Dao was surprised and asked in a low voice: "Miss Yu, are you not afraid of pain?"
It seemed that he still remembered her last aggressive behavior. Yu Fei said, "This is a different time. You also said that my life and his are linked together, so I should be more considerate of him. I naturally hope that he will recover soon, and I will not be afraid of this little pain."
Huo Dao's eyes showed admiration, "After three days of absence, Miss Yu has impressed me with her."
After saying this, he felt something was not right. The head of the East Palace came to report yesterday that Yu Fei's food, clothing and daily living treatment were comparable to those of a concubine, and the prince had not yet married, so he allowed her to overstep the boundaries.
Such a spoiled young lady actually endured pain for the prince? Although it is said that men and women will develop feelings when they are together day and night, Yu Fei is too smart and intelligent to be someone who indulges in love affairs. On the other hand, the prince seems to be more deeply involved.
He faithfully relayed Yu Feilin's words before she left, and the prince was in a good mood. The eldest lady said that she was not afraid of the pain and asked him to use the most effective medicine, but he tried several medicines and chose the one that was the least painful but had average efficacy.
He even made up an excuse: "She is very spoiled. She said something nice now, but she will come to me and cry. I don't have time to deal with her. It's better to take the initiative and get away with it."
Huo Dao: “…”
Now in the eyes of the imperial physician, you are more delicate than a young lady, and would rather have your injuries heal slowly than suffer the pain.
Is the love-sucking pig in your mind? Or is it the land of gentleness and the grave of heroes?
After the doctor left, Jing Cang recalled Yu Fei's soft voice and frivolous steps, and thought to himself, "Besides feeling unwell, she must be angry. She must be angry because she knows that I rejected the title bestowed on her by my mother."
He knocked on the table and ordered Huo Dao: "Go tell her that I will double the compensation tomorrow for my refusal today." As long as she listens, it would be fine to give her several times the amount.
Huo Dao took the order and left. Jing Cang hesitated for a moment and called back, "Forget it, forget it. I'll talk to her in person another day."
