Chapter 291: Feeling sorry for a man will bring bad luck to you for the rest of your life
"What should we do? Send someone out to look for him!"
"I... I have asked all the palace maids in the warehouse to look for him... but... I didn't find him."
The palace is so big that if you want to search the entire palace, even if you don't eat, drink or sleep, it will probably take a month.
Who knows where Xiao Ronghua is hiding?
"Pa!"
Another slap: "How can you do it? You can't even take care of a seriously injured person? Find him within ten days, otherwise I will push all the palace maids guarding the warehouse into the fish pond."
Lu Yin trembled, as if she thought of something terrible, and was so scared that even her lips lost color.
The weather has been hot recently, and Concubine De was unable to go to the palace with the emperor to escape the heat. Even the third prince was forcibly taken away, and Concubine De's temper became more and more irritable.
If Concubine De had not tortured the cowardly Xiao Ronghua too much, she would not have risked her life to escape.
"What are you afraid of?"
Concubine De helped Lu Yin, who was kneeling on the ground and trembling, up: "You are my confidant, and I will never kill you, but I hope that you will not always disappoint me, do you understand?"
Lu Yin felt that the hair on her arm that was grabbed by Concubine De stood up, and she nodded quickly: "I understand, Concubine De."
After leaving Yanqing Palace, Lu Yin went straight to Hexi Palace.
Jiang Chuan put on his coat again and walked to the vegetable garden by himself. He had been feeling very strange recently. He didn't know if it was his illusion. Since the collapsed wall was repaired, there were always one or two fruits missing from the numerous melons and vegetables in the garden.
If it was something else, he wouldn't pay attention to it. The palace people could pick and eat the fruits that could not be eaten in the garden.
But what was missing was the purple jade grapes newly cultivated by the gardeners in the palace.
The queen always thought about the grape vines in the cold palace. She said that she entered the cold palace too late and didn't eat them in time, so she wanted to try the taste.
Xiao Xuanzi used to take care of flowers and plants in the greenhouse before he went to the cold palace. He knew which gardeners were good but suppressed, so he invited them to cultivate a new variety of purple jade grapes for the queen that tasted much better than those in the cold palace.
Before leaving, the Empress had repeatedly told Jiang Chuan to take good care of these grape vines and pick them and put them in ice when they were ripe, so that they could taste them when Frost and Magpie came back.
The few small vines on the rack only produced about twenty fruits, and Jiang Chuan did not dare to taste any of them. The palace servants knew that these were the fruits that the Imperial Concubine had specifically requested, so they carefully served them on weekdays, waiting for the order from the old gardeners to pick them.
As a result, Jiang Chuan counted them again during the day, and the twenty fruits had turned into fifteen.
He did not know whether other fruits were missing, but if these purple jade grapes were stolen, he would have no way to report.
So Jiang Chuan took advantage of the night and went to the vegetable garden quietly by himself without making any noise. On a
hot summer day, even the wind at night was hot, but it was less stuffy and a bit cooler.
The empty vegetable garden was pitch black. Because it had rained two days ago, there was still a bit of humidity, and the air was full of the fragrance of fruits.
Jiang Chuan was cautious and did not show up immediately. Instead, he hid behind a fruit tree, waiting for the "fruit thief" to appear.
"Swish, swish, swish..."
The dark corner of the wall shook violently, and a human-shaped creature, not sure whether it was a human or a ghost, crawled out from a large bush of berry trees.
Her body was dark and twisted as she crawled. Her hair was messy and her face was not visible at all. Her clothes were so dirty that her original color could not be seen. Her hands without nails dug black holes in the ground.
She even uttered a heavy and terrible sound: "Hungry...hungry...hungry..."
I saved my life!
There is a ghost in the vegetable garden!
Jiang Chuan tried his best to restrain himself and covered his mouth to prevent himself from shouting, but tears were flowing from his eyes in fear.
What should I do?
He will not die here tonight!
Queen...Frost...Magpie...Xiao Xuanzi...
See you in the next life...Wuwuwuwuwu...
Suddenly, the "female ghost" supported the grape rack beside her, stood up slowly, and raised her hand to grab the purple jade grapes.
"Stop!"
Jiang Chuan shouted subconsciously: "I really can't stand it anymore. Even if you are a female ghost, you should have some morals, right? There are so many fruits in this vegetable garden, why do you have to eat the purple jade grapes that our master wants? There are only a few of them in total, you can eat a little, do you have to pick them all? Are you starving? I warn you, don't eat me! I haven't taken a shower for more than ten days, you will have diarrhea if you eat it."
The "female ghost" stopped stretching out her hand to pick the fruit, and the posture became even more weird. Both sides were sweating profusely and did not dare to act rashly.
"Jiang... Eunuch Jiang?"
A voice broke the deadlock, and Jiang Chuan opened his eyes that were closed in fear: "Lu Yin?"
What a ghost, how come people from Yanqing Palace also appeared in their Hexi Palace?
…
Summer Palace—
Jiang Xinyue cleaned the blood from the emperor’s mouth, and after helping him rinse his mouth, she waved to Shuangjiang: “Bring the soup.”
She personally cooked the spinach and pork liver soup for the emperor to replenish his blood.
After vomiting blood four or five times a day, Emperor Xuanwu was in low spirits.
To be honest, I felt a little distressed.
The next second, she shook her head violently, no no no no, feeling sorry for a man will bring bad luck to you for the rest of your life. Why
should you feel sorry for him?
He was raped because he did not observe male ethics, slept with all kinds of women, and it was good enough that he did not get syphilis, wasn’t it just being raped?
You should feel sorry for yourself!
The emperor drank the hot blood-replenishing soup, and his heart was warm. Jiang Xinyue fed him spoonful by spoonful, but she was thinking: I have to talk to Doctor Yan in private and ask him to secretly check if the emperor has any diseases.
Don't let her get infected. It's more embarrassing for a woman to be infected than a man.
Nowadays, most doctors are male. Not to mention that there are few female doctors, they can't get the true medical skills from orthodox male doctors. They are only willing to let female doctors help them and learn a little bit.
There are very few female doctors who can really learn skills.
Women who have private gynecological diseases are sometimes not their own problems, but are transmitted by men, and they dare not speak out.
A plan is slowly forming in her mind, but she does not have the ability now. Although the imperial concubine looks very great, in fact, she has a humble family background and only has complete control over a kitchen in the palace. She
can only wait for the Jiang family to rise in the future, and she will be able to control the entire harem, so that she can display her ambitions and benefit herself and the people.
Maybe it is because Emperor Xuanwu is diligent in his work and loves the people. She is with him day and night, and she has been influenced by him day and night, and has developed a sense of responsibility and affection for the people of this dynasty.
Until the bowl of soup was empty, Jiang Xinyue wiped the oil stains for him and took a book to read.
