Chapter 100 Mu Ge
Qin Xin, who was feeding him water, was very unhappy when she heard that he had just woken up and was already thinking about Chu Yanluo again. How could the young master think about everyone except the princess?
The way she placed Xiao Qingyuan's head on her head was much heavier.
Xiao Qingyuan already had a headache, and when Qin Xin threw him, his head hit the pillow, making the pain even worse.
He was somewhat annoyed: "Shen Wantang, what kind of maid are you? So clumsy! Next time, don't let her feed you water, you feed me!"
Shen Wantang didn't take his anger seriously, nor did she agree to feed him water. Feeding him water wasn't difficult, but the problem was, who knew what kind of tantrum he would throw after she finished? What if he complained that she wasn't feeding him well? Or what if he thought she was deliberately getting close to him?
"Your Highness, Miss Chu has not returned to the manor these past few days."
"What? She didn't return to the manor? Where did she go?"
Xiao Qingyuan was both shocked and furious: "Is it because you won't let her come back? She has nowhere to go now. The Prince's Mansion is the only place she can live. Even if she has a thousand faults, you shouldn't drive her away!"
"Your Highness, I did not send her away."
Xiao Qingyuan was taken aback, but remembering Shen Wantang's character and her magnanimity, he quickly believed her: "It's because my mother wouldn't let her come back?"
“My mother didn’t stop her from coming back; it was her own choice not to come back.”
"That's impossible!"
"Miss Chu is currently staying at Qingyun Tower. I heard that she is busy preparing to open a pharmacy. If Your Highness does not believe me, you can go to Qingyun Tower to ask her yourself when you recover."
"Open a pharmacy?"
Xiao Qingyuan asked incredulously, "Why would she suddenly want to open a pharmacy? Does she even understand pharmacology?"
Based on her past life experience, Chu Yanluo should not understand pharmacology.
However, Shen Wantang did not share her experience; she only said, "I don't know."
"Something's not right. Something's definitely wrong. It's already strange that Yanluo hasn't come back, and it's even stranger that she's opened a pharmacy! Doesn't she know I was injured? Hasn't she sent anyone to the manor to ask what happened these past few days?"
"She didn't send anyone."
As for whether Chu Yanluo knew about Xiao Qingyuan's injury, Shen Wantang did not answer.
Everyone in the capital thought Xiao Qingyuan was dead. The news of his death had spread like wildfire. Chu Yanluo would have to be deaf to not know.
Seeing that Xiao Qingyuan had fallen into a daze, Shen Wantang said nothing more and led Qin Xin out of the inner room.
After leaving, Shen Wantang sat down in a chair. She glanced at Qin Xin and said softly, "I don't need you to serve me here anymore. Go and check on Mo Ji. His head medicine needs to be changed."
Qin Xin gratefully responded, then left Xinghe Courtyard and went to the small courtyard where the servants lived.
Inside the room, Mo Ji lay pale on the bed. The servant boy who was taking care of him was only ten years old. When he saw Qin Xin arrive, the boy said cleverly, "Sister Qin Xin, Brother Mo Ji's high fever has gone down. Feel it!"
Qin Xin reached out and touched Mo Ji's forehead, feeling his body temperature finally return to normal. Tears almost welled up in her eyes: "Yes, he really doesn't have a fever anymore. Thank you, Fu Shun, you took very good care of him."
Fu Shun smiled sheepishly: "Sister Qin Xin, it's not that I took good care of Brother Mo Ji, it's that the medicine prescribed by the Crown Princess worked. The Crown Princess also gave Brother Mo Ji acupuncture. Brother Mo Ji used to have convulsions, which looked very scary. After the Crown Princess gave him acupuncture, he got better!"
While changing the medicine on Moji's head, Qin Xin said, "The Crown Princess is kind-hearted. She cares about us servants too. Without her, it's hard to say whether Moji could have survived."
Fu Shun looked up at Qin Xin with her innocent face and asked, "If I'm about to die in the future, will the Crown Princess save me?"
Qin Xin changed Mo Ji's dressing and gently patted Fu Shun's head: "Yes, as long as you are loyal to the Crown Princess, she will save you."
"But I'm not like Brother Moji, who is a first-class servant by the Crown Prince's side. I'm just a lowly servant. Even my parents don't want me anymore. Will the Crown Princess care about me?"
Qin Xin answered firmly, "Yes, the Crown Princess will take care of you."
As she spoke, she took out two pieces of silver from her purse and stuffed them into Fu Shun's hand: "Take these. This is from the Crown Princess. Remember the Crown Princess's kindness in the future. Do your job well in the manor, and the Crown Princess will not treat you unfairly, understand?"
Fu Shun gripped the silver tightly and nodded vigorously: "Understood, thank you for the reward, Princess Consort!"
Qin Xin patted his shoulder: "Go on, brew another bowl of medicine for your brother Mo Ji."
Fu Shun agreed and ran off to brew the medicine.
Qin Xin then turned to look at Mo Ji, and after a moment, her eyes reddened.
Her relationship with Moji was extraordinary. They entered the palace together in their childhood and served together there. They supported and helped each other countless times during the most difficult times.
Later, when Prince Ning got married, she and Mo Ji were assigned to Prince Ning's residence together.
She always felt that Mo Ji was luckier than her because being able to follow the Crown Prince was an immense blessing.
Now she realizes that she was actually just lucky.
Following the Crown Prince is a double-edged sword; he is too willful, and being his servant could mean losing your life at any moment.
However, she wouldn't face such risks if she followed the Crown Princess. The Crown Princess was calm and composed, extremely organized, and very kind to her servants, giving them generous rewards. She would also protect you without hesitation if anything happened. As long as you followed her sincerely, she would treat you sincerely in return.
A tear rolled down Qin Xin's cheek as she murmured, "Mo Ji, we should both be grateful to have met such a princess consort. Otherwise, I might have been sold to Chi Chun Lane long ago, and you might already be dead."
What merit or ability does a lowly servant possess to command the personal attention of the Crown Prince's Consort, who would personally examine his pulse, prescribe medicine, and administer acupuncture to save his life?
The imperial physician had prescribed medicine, but it was ineffective; Mo Ji's high fever persisted, and he suffered severe convulsions.
Qin Xin went to Shen Wantang for help, and without saying a word, Shen Wantang immediately came to take her pulse.
Qin Xin will always remember this kindness.
After the prince woke up, he asked the white-clad woman who had almost killed them, and then he asked Chu Yanluo, but he didn't ask whether Mo Ji was still alive.
When Mo Ji woke up, she planned to remind him that next time, he should remember to save his own life first!
However, he might not listen to her.
Fu Shun quickly returned with a bowl of medicine. Qin Xin took the medicine and, together with Fu Shun, fed it to Mo Ji before leaving the courtyard.
She tidied herself up and stepped back into the Star Harbor Courtyard.
As soon as she entered, she saw a woman in white.
Dressed in white, with her long hair tied back with a ribbon, she looked almost exactly like Chu Yanluo from behind!
No wonder Xiao Qingyuan mistook it for someone else's, and Qin Xin almost mistook it for Chu Yanluo's return.
However, this woman's voice was very different from Chu Yanluo's. Chu Yanluo's voice was very cold and arrogant, while this woman's voice was gentle and soft.
Qin Xin heard her say, "This humble woman is Mu Ge, and I greet the Crown Princess. I wonder how the Crown Prince is doing, and whether he has woken up? I am grateful to the Crown Prince for saving me and wish to kneel down to thank him in person. I humbly request that the Crown Princess grant me permission."
