Su Yue looked at the man in black in confusion. He was like a dragon that was hard to find. This was not the imperial palace but Prince Zhao's mansion, which was heavily guarded. How did he get in? Did he use some magic to escape?
The man in black did not speak, but lowered his head as usual. Wearing a half-silver mask, he looked even more mysterious and immersed in the dim room. Su Yue walked forward, poured a cup of tea, and gulped it down.
"You haven't told me what to do next. It seems that the relationship between Master Ji and the princess is not that difficult to deal with." Su Yue muttered, looking at the man in black who came behind her as if possessed by a ghost. She was so scared that she quickly patted her chest and couldn't help rolling her eyes silently.
"I'm telling you, you must be from hell. You walk without making any noise at all."
The man in black was still standing behind her with a serious expression. Su Yue felt goosebumps all over her body. She pulled the man in black aside and asked him to sit down.
"Please sit down, please sit down, okay, now you can tell me what I am going to do next?" The man in black looked at the small box on the table, and was about to tell him one by one, when he heard footsteps approaching from the door.
"Someone is looking for you." He said and jumped out of the window. Su Yue looked at him in surprise. This strange movement was like a phantom that flashed in front of her eyes in an instant. She didn't see clearly how he left.
Sure enough, she saw Liu Hanwen coming to find her.
"Why are you here?" According to this time, Liu Hanwen should be in the Imperial Medical Bureau, so why did he suddenly come to find her?
Liu Hanwen grabbed her hand excitedly and said, "I heard that Master Ji is here and has met the princess, is that right?"
"Yeah, how come this news spread so quickly, and what does it have to do with you?"
Su Yue shook her head helplessly when she saw Liu Hanwen making a fuss. However, Liu Hanwen seemed extremely excited. He grabbed her arm and said, "You don't understand. If there is a happy event in the palace, our salaries will double and we can have a few days off. But I heard that Master Ji already has other candidates in mind. Why would he be with the princess again..."
"I wonder why you gossip like a woman."
Su Yue shook her head helplessly, just listening to his words as a joke. Liu Hanwen saw the footprints of other people in the room, bent down, looked at him curiously and asked: "Is there anyone else in your room?"
She was startled, and quickly stood up and said, "How could it be? How could there be other people in my room? And you, barging in without notifying me, aren't you afraid that the princess will think you're a bad guy and arrest you?"
"I'm not afraid of this. We all know what kind of person the princess is. But how do you have rouge and powder?" Liu Hanwen clearly saw some rouge and powder in the small box, and there was even eyebrow tint.
Only women would use it. Could it be that his brother really had some weird hobbies and was doing something unknown behind his back?
Seeing that he suddenly became so gossipy, Su Yue quickly drove him to the door, "Okay, okay, I still have things to do!"
In the evening, Su Yue and some medical officers came to the bathing room with buckets and stood there. There was a big bathing pool where the prince usually rested and bathed, and the pool would put some medicine and other things to recuperate.
Su Yue came behind Rong Zhen and saw that he was completely naked. After getting out of the bathtub, she huddled behind him, her face turning red for a rare moment.
There were men and women bathing him here. Su Yue's hands were as cold as an ice sculpture, and they were rubbing back and forth on his back. Rong Zhen noticed something was wrong, and looked at Su Yue behind him and said, "What's wrong? Haven't you ever helped others bathe?" Su Yue was startled, as if her hand had touched something that should not be touched.
"No, Your Majesty. You misunderstood." Su Yue stood up tremblingly, but unexpectedly, she stumbled into the bathtub and took a bath with the prince. However, she could not swim, and she grabbed the prince's smooth and strong arms in the water, as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw, and would not let go even if she died.
Rong Zhen's arm was scratched with several hard marks by her. He helped Su Yue in front of him to stand up and said to her calmly: "The water in this pool is not deep at all. Don't splash around." Rong Zhen looked at Su Yue who was making a fuss in front of him. Her clothes were soaked by the water. She saw some things that she couldn't bear to see, and her face turned red for a rare time.
"You are actually... a woman, you are so brave!" Rong Zhen was most angry because he was deceived. He didn't expect that this medical officer would actually disguise herself as a man and live in the mansion. There must be some unspeakable secret.
At this moment, the servants guarding the door heard the noise in the house and hid behind the screen. "My Lord, what happened?"
Su Yue put her hand to her lips and looked at him pleadingly, hoping that he would not reveal his identity to others. Out of compassion, Rong Zhen asked those people to leave and said to Su Yue in front of him, "Why don't you put on your clothes and go upstairs!" Su Yue narrowed her eyes and changed her wet clothes.
She handed Rong Zhen a set of clean, close-fitting clothes, knelt beside him and said, "Your Highness, I really didn't do it on purpose. I really have a hard time telling you that I disguised myself as a man and sneaked into the palace. Over the years, I have been working in the Imperial Medical Bureau, but the Imperial Medical Bureau doesn't want women.
This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~
So I had no choice but to use this trick. My Lord, please don't report me, or I will die without a burial place."
With tears in her eyes, Su Yue spoke pitifully in front of him, begging him to show some mercy. Rong Zhen saw that he was so smart and had been in the mansion for more than two months without doing anything excessive, so it seemed that he had hidden his identity very well.
He waved his hand and asked him to stand up. Su Yue wiped away her tears excitedly. It seemed that the prince was indeed broad-minded.
"You can continue to dress as a man in the future, but if you encounter such a problem next time, you should know how to solve it, right?" Rong Zhen hoped that she would remain calm when facing emergencies, and not reveal her true identity like she did today because of panic. Otherwise, Rong Zhen would not be able to tell that she was a woman.
Su Yue nodded rapidly, took a deep breath, and looked at the majestic back of the prince with her heart beating fast.
A few days passed, and Shu'er and Ji Heng spent more and more time together.
