Chapter 106
The father and his two sons discussed political matters for a few more minutes before the Crown Prince and the First Prince rose and left.
Chen Rang, however, could not leave.
Since the emperor was determined to suppress the bandits, he naturally had to discuss matters with the ministers in the court. He would have to stay there the whole time, and his pen would probably never stop moving.
As he expected, for five or six days in a row, he was practically rooted to the emperor's side, without a moment of leisure.
He originally wanted to ask Yunxi in person how her leg was doing and also ask her opinion, but he didn't expect that when he came back these past few days, the lights in the back room were all off.
Helpless, he could only keep his concern and questions to himself, and only asked Jingyuan to send Yunxi some things to pass the time from time to time.
Compared to his busy schedule, Yunxi was the complete opposite.
In the cramped room, Yunxi lay on the bed, her gaze fixed on the ceiling, but her eyes were unfocused.
She can't get out of bed and has been lying there for five or six days.
Seeing her like this, Jixiang felt a little scared: "Miss, didn't Doukou find you a lot of storybooks? Why don't you take a look? And those things Jingyuan sent over, at least they can help you pass the time."
Yunxi sighed, "I've been lying in bed for so many days, and I'm not feeling well. No matter how many stories I read or how many toys I play, it won't help."
All she wants to do now is get out of bed and walk around.
"Fortunately, the ointment has run out. I'll go find that old Zheng Mama from last time and ask her to fetch the doctor."
After a pause, Jixiang said, "Why don't I go and tell Mama Zheng now?"
She was afraid that if she waited any longer, Yunxi would go crazy.
Yunxi hummed in agreement.
Jixiang turned and went out. After a while, Mother Zheng came back with Mr. Shi from that day.
After Mr. Shi arrived, he examined the body carefully, just as he had done last time, and said, "The recovery is quite good."
Yunxi's eyes lit up: "Then can I get out of bed and walk around?"
“Yes, you can, but be careful not to overexert yourself,” Mr. Shi said, while taking out a few more plasters. “These need to be changed every two days. Once you’ve finished applying them, you should be almost recovered. If you still feel any discomfort, just call me again.”
"Thank you, sir."
No sooner had Mrs. Zheng left with Mr. Shi than Yunxi impatiently threw off the covers.
After lying down for a long time, when she suddenly got out of bed, her legs were still a bit unresponsive. Yunxi's legs went weak for a moment before she could stand up and walk around the room.
Such a simple action made Yunxi feel extremely happy.
"Jixiang, let's go for a walk."
Before Jixiang could respond, a voice rang out: "Didn't the doctor just say that we shouldn't overwork ourselves?"
The master and servant turned their heads in the direction of the sound and saw that Shen Rang, whom they hadn't seen for many days, was standing in front of the window.
Seeing Chen Rang approach, Ji Xiang tactfully withdrew.
Shen Rang handed over the food box in his hand: "His Majesty has been summoning his ministers to discuss the matter of suppressing bandits these past few days. I couldn't get away, so I was only able to bring you something back today... This is crab roe pastry, come and have a taste."
Yunxi dared not go over: "Young Master, you can just leave it here. You should leave quickly, otherwise the young mistress will see it... My leg is not fully healed yet."
"You've been staying inside all this time, unaware that the young mistress has been staying with the madam these past few days."
Yunwan was suspected of disrespecting her mother-in-law. Although Zheng Shi punished her, Yunwan also needed to show some attitude. So, she had been accompanying Zheng Shi in Rongxi Hall for the past few days, eating vegetarian food and chanting Buddhist prayers.
Hearing this, Yunxi moved to the window, opened the food box, and took out the crab roe pastry.
The flaky pastry is creamy and fragrant, filled with plenty of crab roe and crab meat. One bite is incredibly satisfying.
