Chapter 316: Happy Enemies
Jiang Han was a little skeptical about Hongxiu's words.
"Why didn't I hear what my mother said?"
"Oh, Miss, weren't you just crying outside just now? You probably weren't listening carefully when the lady was talking.
If you don't believe me, ask Sister Hongzhu, did our Madam ask the Second Young Lady to go to the Imperial Kitchen and bring some chicken soup over, so that the Empress can have a few more mouthfuls?"
Jiang Han turned her head to look at Hongzhu. She knew that she was a very steady and mature person and would definitely not lie to anyone.
Hongzhu thought about it and nodded in response.
"Madam did give such instructions."
But she didn't say that it was before the Empress gave birth. The Second Young Miss was crying outside and it made the Madam upset, so she wanted to send her out to do something. But just after she finished speaking, the Empress started to move again.
Anyway, the lady did say that and she didn't lie. She was just using the Spring and Autumn style of writing.
"Oh, okay. Then you two let go, I'll go right away! Giving birth is such a huge job, she must be starving!"
This time, no one needed to pull her back. Jiang Han lifted up the hem of her skirt and ran as fast as she could.
"Hongxiu, quickly let Qiucheng catch up with the Second Young Lady!"
"knew."
She hurried outside and gave the order.
"Cheng'er, go follow our Second Young Lady and don't make anyone else suffer!"
"Hey, I'll go right away!"
A charming little maid guarding the corridor took off running after hearing Sister Hongxiu's instructions. She was so fast she caught up with the person, and as Jiang Han was leaving Fengming Palace, he couldn't stop in time and ran straight into the tall figure opposite him.
"Li Laowu, get out of the way!"
In an emergency, he didn't care about etiquette or hierarchy. He slammed his head against the wall of flesh while waving his handkerchief. Then he felt dizzy and little stars flashed in front of his eyes.
"Second Miss!"
Qiucheng quickly rushed over and supported the man.
"Ahem, ahem, Sister Han, are you okay?"
Li Jingxiu, lacking any serious martial arts skills to protect him, relied solely on his sturdy physique to catch his beloved who suddenly rushed towards him. Even though his chest felt like it was about to collapse from the collision, he instinctively cared for the culprit first.
"Something's wrong, it hurts!"
She looked up while crying pitifully, two streams of bright red blood gushing out from under her small nose, and her snow-white chin was instantly covered with bright red blood, which was really shocking to see.
"Sister Wuwuwu, my nose is about to break, it hurts so much!"
Jiang Er developed a strange habit since she was a child. When other children were beaten or hurt, they would cry for their parents, but she would habitually cry for her sister.
She covered her nose with a handkerchief, crying and glaring at her mortal enemy angrily.
"Why aren't you looking where you're walking? I told you to get out of the way, why didn't you? If you damaged my beautiful face, my sister would definitely not forgive you!"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Sister Han, I caught you because I was afraid you would fall. I really didn't mean to bump into you. Put your hand down so I can see..."
"Look at a ghost, go away!"
He waved his hand to slap away the other party's outstretched claws, and slowly lowered the hand that was covering his nose. It seemed that no warm air was flowing down, so Jiang Han wiped the blood from under his nose.
"Qiucheng, is my nose still bleeding?"
"Let me see..."
Before the little palace maid could finish her words, His Royal Highness Prince Shun pushed her away with one hand and he moved forward himself.
"Sister Han, please stop moving and let me take a closer look. Hmm, it seems like the bleeding isn't happening anymore."
Li Jingxiu looked at the pitiful red nose on this pretty face, feeling both distressed and guilty.
"But your nose might be injured. I'll take you to the Imperial Hospital. I'll ask the Imperial Physician to prescribe some medicine..."
"No!"
Before the other party could finish showing his kindness, Jiang Wan, thinking he was unlucky, sniffed carefully and walked away.
"I don't think it's a big deal, so there's no need for Your Highness Prince Shun to worry about it.
I'm busy. See you later.
Qiucheng, go!"
"Don't worry, Sister Han, you're injured. This is a serious matter and we can't afford to rush. Let's go to the Imperial Hospital. If you don't want to go because it's too far, Doctor Sun and the others should be here when Fourth Sister-in-law is giving birth. Let's go in and let Doctor Sun take a look, okay?"
The person who was casually left behind by the girl also ran after her.
"No, I said it's nothing, so it's nothing. Don't bother me anymore, just go do what you need to do!"
She kept walking while replying, which made Li Jingxiu, who was following her, very anxious.
"No, what are you in such a hurry to do? Can't you wait until you see the doctor first?"
"My mother asked me to get some food for my sister. She just gave birth and is still hungry. How can she wait?"
"Why not just let her carry it? Why bother making you go there yourself?"
After saying that, she pointed to the palace maid following behind her. As a dowry maid from the Jiang family, Qiu Cheng naturally knew that His Royal Highness Prince Shun liked his second daughter.
She quickly lowered her head and didn't respond. Under normal circumstances, well, the second lady should have started to argue with people.
really…
"That's my sister! Of course I have to carry it myself. You, who don't have a sister, definitely don't understand the deep sisterly love we have..."
“I understand!”
"You know nothing!"
"Don't be angry, Sister Han. We grew up together, so of course your sister is my sister! My sister is hungry, right? Don't go, I'll get her. I can run fast!"
Li Laowu, who was very good at showing off, immediately came over to denounce his fourth brother for running away with the eldest brother and leaving him, a poor guy, alone in Qianyuan Hall with his fickle second brother. It was outrageous.
But now, all his intentions were immediately thrown out of his mind.
Just kidding, his fourth sister-in-law, no, his sister giving birth is such a big deal? His sister must be given priority, there's nothing wrong with that!
Li Laowu, who had no regard for brotherhood, unilaterally and temporarily terminated his brotherly relationship with Li Laosi.
"How's our sister? Does our eldest nephew look fat? Our mother..."
"Bah! Li Laowu, why don't you try to come up with another one?"
"No, I was just talking about Bald Mouth. I meant your mother! Your mother is my aunt. Where did you get the food?"
"Are you stupid? Of course I went to the imperial kitchen to get some chicken soup for my sister to nourish her body."
"Yes, yes, I'm a little silly. Do you know the way to the imperial kitchen? How about I take you there by a shortcut?"
"No need. I went to the palace many times when I was a kid. How could I not recognize it? Besides, Qiu Cheng is here with us!"
"She's a little palace maid, and she's definitely not as familiar with the roads as I am. Really, I'll take you on a shortcut! Our sister is still waiting hungry in Fengming Palace. Wouldn't it be a complete waste of time if you were to go around in circles?"
