Chapter 58 Regret
Knock knock——
"Your Highness, I have come to fetch water."
Xie Tingzhou woke up as if from a dream and said loudly, "Put it at the door, and get a basin of warm water and a towel."
"yes."
The maid's footsteps faded away, Xie Tingzhou opened the door and picked up the kettle, and Xifeng and Changliu happened to walk into the yard at this time.
Xie Tingzhou glanced at the two of them, said nothing, and closed the door.
Xifeng and Changliu looked at each other and stood at the door, one on each side.
Chang Liu asked quietly, "What's going on?"
Xifeng said with a straight face, "I don't know."
Chang Liu thought for a moment and said, "Maybe you regretted beating someone up?"
The two looked at each other and both thought that the analysis made some sense.
"It's over," Chang Liu said, "You were the one who whipped me, right?"
Xi Feng remained calm and said, "I didn't do it myself."
"That was your order, too."
"It was an order from His Highness."
Chang Liu shook his head and said, "Why don't you understand? How could His Highness be wrong? The fault must be ours."
Xifeng didn't say anything, as if he had already agreed.
"Then... kneel down?" Chang Liu asked.
Xifeng didn't respond, but his body was very honest. He lifted his robe and knelt down straight.
Xie Tingzhou poured half a cup of water, blew on it gently, and put it aside to dry.
When the maid came to fetch water, she was startled to see two people kneeling on the left and right of the door.
"Your Highness, the water is coming."
Xie Tingzhou raised his hand and lowered the bed curtain, "Come in."
The maid brought in the water, lowered her head and dared not look any further. She walked to the bed with the water. The curtains were down and she could not see anything inside.
Xie Tingzhou sat on the edge of the bed and asked, "Did you call the doctor?"
"Yes."
"Well, get out."
The maid retreated. Xifeng and Changliu outside saw her coming out alone and looked at each other with shock in their eyes.
Changliu took a few steps on his knees, then knelt side by side with Xifeng. He tilted his head and asked in a low voice, "Only His Highness and Shiyu are inside. Who do you think is serving whom?"
Xifeng glared at him and said, "Don't guess randomly."
"Aren't you curious?"
Xifeng looked straight ahead, pursed his lips and thought, but even though he was curious, he couldn't open the door to take a look.
Xie Tingzhou
He wrung out the handkerchief and gently cleaned the area around the wound.
After cleaning the wound and reapplying medicine, I originally wanted to bandage it with gauze, but after hesitating, I gave up and left it as it was.
Xie Tingzhou helped her up and leaned her against his shoulder, then gave her some water, and the doctor also came.
It was winter, and the doctor jogged all the way here, sweating all over.
"She had whip wounds on her back, and the wounds have been treated." Xie Tingzhou said.
After taking your pulse and checking your face, the doctor said, "Your Highness, you probably didn't take good care of your injuries. It snowed the day before yesterday and you caught a cold. The combination of the two made your condition serious. I'll prescribe some medicine for you and you'll be fine once your fever goes away."
Xie Tingzhou nodded and looked down at Shi Yu.
His face is only the size of a palm, and his arms are so thin that they seem like they will break if pinched.
With such a body, what kind of power supported her to fight on the battlefield and come all the way to where she is today?
Xie Tingzhou couldn't deny it, a strange feeling surged in his heart.
Chen Yu moved on the bed, she felt so uncomfortable.
In a trance, he saw Shen Zhongan's face again.
There were piles of corpses at Yanliang Pass and the war was raging. Even with dense arrows hitting his back, he was still fighting with a spear.
A Siberian approached him quietly from behind.
"Watch out behind you!" Shen Yu shouted.
Shen Zhongan turned around and shouted at her: "Run! Run! Ayu, run!"
“Woo…” A whimper escaped Shen Yu’s lips.
Xie Tingzhou lowered his head to check, only to see that she was gritting her teeth, frowning, and a tear slipped secretly from the corner of her eye.
Xie Tingzhou wiped the corners of her eyes with his fingers and let out a long breath.
Changliu knelt at the door until his knees were numb. He rubbed his legs and whispered, "If I had known that Your Highness would stay so long, I would not have knelt with you. I did nothing wrong."
As soon as he finished speaking, the door opened and Chang Liu knelt straight.
Xie Tingzhou closed the door casually and asked Xifeng in a cold voice: "When you sent the dog over, did you notice anything unusual?"
Xi Feng didn't dare to look up, cold sweat suddenly broke out on his neck. "It was just dawn when I brought it here, and Shi Yu answered the phone in the room. I thought he was still asleep, so I put the dog in the yard."
Xie Tingzhou took a deep breath and asked, "How long will it take for Uncle Zhong to arrive?"
Xifeng replied: "We will leave from Beilin after the New Year.
"Little half moon."
Zhong Bo is the steward of the Beilin Palace. This time when Xie Tingzhou goes to the capital, he will definitely not be able to return in a few months as before.
Emperor Tongxu wanted to keep him in the capital as a hostage, with an uncertain return date.
Now that Xie Tingzhou has been living in Shengjing for a long time, the original servants are naturally not enough. These days, every family has been thinking about putting people in the palace, but one’s own people are more reliable. Zhongbo and the servants all came directly from Beilin.
Xie Tingzhou frowned, "Who is in charge of the palace's internal affairs now?"
"He is the butler who originally stayed behind, but he was usually only responsible for arranging cleaning and maintenance. After His Highness returns to the capital, he will stay to arrange his daily life."
"It's me, it's me." Chang Liu replied.
Xie Tingzhou asked: "There are people living in Lumingxuan, why don't they have any maids?"
Chang Liu was stunned, and it took him a while to react, "But...but he is a guard, there is no reason to assign maids to guards."
Xifeng bent his elbow, and Changliu was almost knocked over by him because he was not paying attention.
Xie Tingzhou lowered his eyes, glanced at the two of them, then walked away.
Chang Liu was confused and said, "I didn't say anything wrong."
Xifeng stood up and patted his pants. "Your Highness asked you this not because he wanted to know why, but to remind you what you should do."
Chang Liu suddenly realized something and jumped up, "I'll arrange it right away!"
As he limped out of the yard, he almost collided with Xie Tingzhou who was returning.
Xie Tingzhou walked past him without even glancing at him, walked to the front of the house, opened the door and called out, "Da Huang."
Dahuang looked up at him and lay down again.
Xie Tingzhou walked over, bent down, and said, "Come with me, don't disturb her."
Da Huang seemed to understand what he said and followed Xie Tingzhou.
A man and a dog walked into the yard, and suddenly a sharp howl was heard in the air.
Bai Yu swooped down and passed by him. The wind blew up Xie Tingzhou's hair, and Da Huang was so scared that he huddled beside Xie Tingzhou's legs and didn't move.
Bai Yu landed on the courtyard wall and looked up at Da Huang.
Xie Tingzhou looked down at Da Huang, then looked at Bai Yu and said softly, "Don't make a noise, you can't touch this."
Xie Tingzhou has his own considerations.
Now that she is still ill, extreme sorrow or joy will not help her recovery. Since Shiyu didn't know when Xifeng brought Dahuang, it would be better to wait a while and tell her the news of her father-in-law's death after she gets better.
