In the Diaoyutai Palace.
Liu Shang Gong listened in amazement. The eldest princess kept talking nonsense like an ordinary woman in love, but she didn't dare to refute.
"Then why is Your Highness crying?" After a long while, she finally uttered these few words.
"I hate myself for the bad temper I have developed over the years." The princess couldn't help crying again when she heard this, "I can't stand hearing a single word that doesn't please me. I didn't even understand Zhao Lang's thoughts right away, and I drove him away..."
As she spoke, she looked at Lady Liu with a horrified expression and said, "You said, Zhao Lang must hate me to death, right? He won't never see me again, will he?"
"This..." Liu Shanggong really wanted to say, yes, yes, it must be like this. But she didn't dare to say it, so she could only whisper: "I can't say for sure."
"Oh, this must be the case..." The eldest princess cried out in pain and was about to lie on the quilt and cry again.
At this moment, Li Mingyue's anxious voice was heard outside: "Mom, mom, why did my brother Zhao leave?"
When Lady Liu heard this, she thought, OK, here comes another one.
Fortunately, there is always something to overcome. When the princess heard her daughter's voice, she calmed down instantly as if she was poured with ice water.
She quickly picked up the pillowcase and wiped away the tears on her face, but when she wanted Liu Shanggong to stop her, it was too late...
Li Mingyue was seen leaning on a crutch, her pretty face full of anxiety, as she struggled to cross the threshold.
"Child, didn't I tell you to have a good rest? Why are you running around everywhere?" The eldest princess scolded her daughter with motherly dignity, but her voice was hoarse and it was obvious that she had just been crying.
"I just wanted to go find Brother Zhao to thank him, but I heard that he had already gone back." Li Mingyue pouted and said:
"Mom, didn't you say you wanted to keep him here for a while, to make him better before letting him go?"
"Ah?" The princess was also surprised. She looked at Lady Liu and asked, "Is she gone?"
"Uh, yes..." Liu Shanggong nodded guiltily.
"Why didn't you stop him?" The eldest princess wanted to take Zhao Hao as a hostage, but now everything is completely ruined.
We can't send someone to bring him back, can we?
"This..." Liu Shanggong thought, why should I stop him? I wish they could go as far away as possible. Then he glanced at Li Mingyue quietly, bowed his head and admitted his mistake: "It was my negligence, please punish me, Your Highness."
"Forget it. It's my fault that I didn't explain it clearly." With her daughter beside her, the princess could only swallow her anger and let it go.
"I haven't thanked him properly yet!" Li Mingyue was extremely anxious. She wanted to beg her mother to get Zhao Hao back, but when she saw the eldest princess's face, she was stunned like a cat.
"Mom, what's wrong with you? Are you crying?" Li Mingyue immediately lost her temper and asked timidly.
"I, haha..." The eldest princess was so embarrassed, as if her daughter had discovered her affair, and she wanted to find a hole to crawl into. "Why would I cry?"
As she said this, she looked at Lady Liu for help.
"County Lady." Liu Shang Gong thought, my chance to atone for my sins has come, so she said to Li Mingyue with a sad face, "His Highness is worried about you!"
"Why did I come back for no reason?" Li Mingyue looked at her mother in confusion.
"Yes, I am worried about you. I am afraid..." The princess was reminded by the old nanny and immediately had an excuse. She wiped her tears with the pillowcase and said, "I am afraid every time I think about it. If anything happens to you two, how can I live?"
As she spoke, she squeezed out two more tears. Children are the apple of their mother's eye, and she would eventually shed tears if she squeezed hard.
Li Mingyue was still young after all, and could not see through my mother's acting skills. So she believed it and lowered her head, her eyes red as she said, "I didn't expect that mother would be so worried. I promise to be careful next time."
"That's better." The princess reached out and took her daughter into her arms, letting her rest her head on her shoulder. She then wiped the makeup off her face with a handkerchief and said, "You want to repay your gratitude, but did mother stop you? Even if the child left, you don't have legs, right? When you are healed, go find him and thank him yourself."
"Yes, mother, I understand." Li Mingyue's eyes lit up and said, "When my injury is healed, I will go find Brother Zhao and say thank you to him."
"That's it." Seeing Lady Liu nod slightly, the princess knew that her face had been wiped clean, so she dropped the handkerchief and touched her daughter's head with her other hand and said, "There are not many mothers as open-minded as you."
"Oh, right, mother." Li Mingyue suddenly remembered something and reminded her quietly, "My brother is still kneeling outside. Do you really want him to kneel until dark?"
"Uh..." The eldest princess opened her mouth wide and looked at each other with Lady Liu. How could she have forgotten about this?
At the edge of Yuyuantan Lake, Li Chengen, who was almost frozen into an ice stick, sneezed twice...
~~
Zhao Hao and his friends returned to Chunsong Hutong before dark.
When the men in Caijia Lane heard that Zhao Hao had returned safely, they were excited. They were as happy as children and rushed to the gate, helping to carry him into the yard.
Perhaps the only one who was unhappy was Zhao Shixi. This guy knew that he was happy for nothing and had to endure it...
Zhao Jin hadn't come back yet, so his wife Chang came over and busied herself with instructing people to call a doctor for Zhao Hao.
He also personally boiled water with scallion roots and ginger for Zhao Hao to drink, and then had someone heat up his kang, and gave him a blanket to cover him tightly so that he could sweat.
Zhao Hao's head was indeed a little dizzy at this time. After all, aspirin was not a miracle drug. It could only reduce fever and relieve pain, and the fever would come back once the effect of the drug wore off.
But since we were already home, everything was fine. After letting the old sister-in-law have her way, Gao Wu brought some willow bark water and the cinnamon twig soup prescribed by the doctor. He drank it all without thinking.
It will be almost healed after two more days of rest.
When everything was over and everyone was just about to let Zhao Hao go to sleep, Hai Rui arrived.
Judging from the black gauze hat he wore and the fifth-rank official robe with white pheasant patterns on it, he must have just returned from duty at the Dali Temple.
But Mr. Hai is very energetic! He is over 50 years old, wearing only a thin official robe, and he goes back and forth to work and back home.
It turns out that people don't light stoves in their houses not only to save money, but also because they really don't need them...
Hai Rui walked in, took one look at Zhao Hao, who was covered with three thick quilts, and sneered, "It's good that you're not dead. Go to sleep quickly. We'll continue the debate tomorrow."
Zhao Hao felt guilty when he heard this. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he deliberately said in a hoarse voice: "Mr. Hai, please be kind. I have a high fever."
"Yes, Master Hai's patient needs rest..." If Eryang had known someone talking to his master like that, he would have chased him away long ago.
But the two of them actually discussed with Hai Rui in a soft voice, and I don't know what kind of suffering they had suffered from Lord Hai.
Hai Rui frowned and said with disdain, "You are so weak at such a young age. You better get well soon."
After saying that, he didn't even say hello to anyone else, put a package on the table, and turned away.
At this time, the dignified Guanglu Qing Zhao Jin was in Zhao Hao's room.
Zhao Jin, however, didn't take it seriously at all. He picked up the rag bag Hai Rui had put down with a smile on his face. He was shocked when he saw it.
"Eggs, they're actually eggs!!"
