"Hongluo, bring in some water, I want to take a bath."
Hongluo, who was guarding the door, was startled when she heard Jiang Xuelin's voice, but she quickly replied, "Yes, this servant will arrange it right away."
Jiang Xuelin's courtyard has its own small kitchen, which is equipped with hot water 24 hours a day. Even at night, the stove is kept warm with water, so it can be delivered whenever the master needs it.
Before long, two strong old women carried over a bucket of water.
"Princess Consort, would you like me to help you with your bath?" Hongluo curtsied as she entered, then was startled by the scene in the room.
I was genuinely shocked.
Jiang Xuelin was sitting on the bed, with a glass lamp beside her, her long black hair loose as she played with a red coral bracelet in her hand.
What surprised Hongluo was not Jiang Xuelin, but Fu Hanlai on the other side of the bed.
At this moment, Fu Hanlai was sitting in the corner, holding a brocade quilt in his arms. His eyes were vacant, and he seemed to be thinking about nothing. His haggard appearance made him look as if he had been ravaged.
However, Hongluo only glanced at it once before quickly looking away, no longer glancing towards Fu Hanlai.
None of the head maids who were brought to the Prince of Ping's mansion by Jiang Xuelin had any intention of sleeping with him, so they naturally kept a distance from Fu Hanlai.
and……
Seeing Fu Hanlai like this, Hongluo didn't know what was wrong. She thought of the promise her young lady made to the madam when she left the Jing'an Marquis's mansion last time.
Her daughter said she would definitely consummate the marriage, and even if the young master was unwilling, she would force him to do so. Later, when she returned to the palace, the young master was punished by the princess for copying books because he had attacked her, so she naturally forgot about the incident.
The lady came to the Prince's mansion to admire the flowers today, and the young ladies were too nervous to go over. They'll probably want to consummate their marriage as soon as possible tonight... That's normal, isn't it?
Unlike ordinary unmarried girls, Hongluo was a little embarrassed to talk about consummating her marriage, but she didn't seem too surprised, and her face didn't even turn red.
Jiang Xuelin raised an eyebrow, glanced at the lifeless Fu Hanlai out of the corner of her eye, and ultimately did not let Hongluo serve her, but instead sent her away first.
Hongluo curtsied again and left with two maids.
Jiang Xuelin put down the coral bracelet in her hand, got up, walked around the double-sided embroidered screen next to her, and took off her clothes to bathe.
Although she was a young lady from a noble family, she grew up on the frontier, where life was not as comfortable as in the capital. She could take a bath by herself, and she didn't need to wash her hair; she only needed to bathe and clean herself.
After she finished tidying herself up and went around the screen again, Fu Hanlai was still huddled in the corner of the bed, looking extremely pitiful.
"cough."
Looking up at him with a resentful expression, Fu Hanlai moved the corner of his mouth in a warning, "If you laugh at me now, I might hit you."
"I'm not making fun of you, I'm just asking if you want to tidy up and go to bed."
"How can I possibly sleep?"
I can't.
I can't do it! ...
Just thinking about those three words made it impossible for Fu Hanlai to fall asleep; he felt no sleepiness at all.
He had already imagined all sorts of tragic futures.
That's so pitiful.
He was frail and sickly as a child, and he never felt sorry for himself when he was always ill.
"Let's find a royal physician to take a look tomorrow. What if he has a solution?"
"Doesn't that mean everyone knows I'm impotent?"
What a terrible thing!
A few days ago, it was revealed that Huang Tao's younger brother, Tianyan, had conspired with Huang Tao to scheme against his wife. Now, he has discovered that he may be impotent.
Is this some kind of retribution?
*Sob*
A man doesn't easily shed tears, unless he's truly heartbroken.
"So you're just avoiding medical treatment and refusing to see a doctor?"
"Then how can I get better?"
Jiang Xuelin: "..."
This won't work, that won't work, Fu Ashou, are you just being unreasonable!
"Then you keep thinking about it, I'm going to sleep now."
She's tired and needs to rest.
However, when Fu Hanlai saw that Jiang Xuelin was about to sleep, he immediately objected.
"Jiang Xuelin, are you even human? How can you still sleep when I'm in this state? Quickly think of something!"
I'm about to cry.
Jiang Xuelin: "..."
well.
Normally, Jiang Xuelin would probably have kicked him or helped Fu Hanlai to sleep, but now, seeing how pitiful he was, she couldn't bring herself to do it.
"Otherwise, what do you want to do? Go get a divorce tomorrow, as you suggested?"
Fu Hanlai: "..."
Ugh, I'm so angry!
Jiang Xuelin, you're not human!
You're not human!
Jiang Xuelin's words were just talk, but the best solution now is to secretly find a royal physician to take her pulse tomorrow. Perhaps that can help her recover?
Don't look at her like that, like she's a heartless person!
"...Otherwise, the mute nanny knows some medical skills. Can she take a look at you tomorrow?" The mute nanny is one of our own, so there's no need to worry that she will reveal Fu Hanlai's physical condition to others.
and……
The mute old woman was quite skilled in medicine. Among her four maids, Hongluo was the mute old woman's daughter, and she was the best in both medicine and martial arts. Her medical skills were inherited from the mute old woman.
well.
Thinking that this was something almost everyone would laugh at, Jiang Xuelin couldn't help but reach out and pat Fu Hanlai's head. "Don't worry, I definitely won't laugh at you because of this."
Fu Hanlai: "..."
snort!
Although it is still very painful, at least Jiang Xuelin's idea was good.
Besides, now that it has already happened, instead of complaining and blaming others, you should think about how to find a renowned doctor for treatment.
