Chapter 415 You're on Your Own
After the court doctor trembled and left, the princess slowly stood up, walked to the window, looked at the flowers blooming outside the window, and a cold smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. "Anyang, I want to see what you left for Lingxiu!"
She whispered softly, her voice full of endless chill.
Nanny Wu stepped forward and asked softly, "Master, will Yu Lingxiu really take out that thing this time?"
The princess sneered: "It depends on how much hatred she has for Lin Miaoyin!"
Upon hearing this, Nanny Wu stopped talking.
Side yard
Yu Xiuling was very sure that Nanny Wu would tell the princess everything about herself.
So she waited with great anticipation, waiting for the eldest princess to come in person to comfort her.
The injury was previously caused by her kneeling down, but now her injury has become worse because of the eldest princess' daughter-in-law, Lin Miaoyin.
In her opinion, since it was her daughter-in-law who hurt her, the eldest princess owed her a favor.
After all, his mother and the eldest princess had once had a deep friendship, and based on this relationship, the eldest princess should come to visit in person.
She sat by the window in the side yard, looking towards the gate from time to time, silently imagining the scene of the eldest princess's arrival. But time passed by, and the eldest princess never appeared.
Finally, Nanny Wu came.
When Yu Xiuling saw Nanny Wu come in, a glimmer of expectation flashed across her eyes, but it was instantly replaced by disappointment and resentment.
Nanny Wu saw all of this and sneered in her heart: He really takes himself very seriously, thinking that he is of noble status and is looking forward to the princess coming to visit him, without considering whether he is worthy of it?
Nanny Wu still had a proper smile on her face. She walked a few steps to Yu Xiuling, took her hand, and said with concern: "Miss Yu, Her Royal Highness the Princess is worried about you!"
As he spoke, he gently patted the back of Yu Xiuling's hand and said, "Your Highness has so many things to do that he is too busy to get away. But even so, he specifically asked me to come and see your injuries first to see if you are feeling better."
As she spoke, she wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief and pretended to be worried. "His Highness said that he would come to see you in person as soon as he finished the work at hand."
As Nanny Wu spoke, she took out an exquisite tray from the food box. On the tray was a bowl of steaming medicine.
"Miss Lingxiu," Madam Wu said softly with a concerned smile on her face, "I have brought your medicine."
"Young lady, I have never left this medicine since it was prepared and delivered. I have been watching it myself. I am afraid that someone might do something bad with it. This is something the princess has specifically instructed me to do. I must ensure that you can drink the safe medicine on time."
When Yu Lingxiu heard the eldest princess's name, she was slightly startled, and the resentment in her heart unconsciously lessened a little.
She bit her lower lip and said softly, "Mammy, I'm sorry to trouble you."
Nanny Wu smiled and waved her hand: "What are you talking about, young lady? It is my duty to take care of you. The princess really cares about you."
As she spoke, she picked up the medicine bowl and handed it to Yu Lingxiu, "Girl, drink it while it's hot."
Yu Lingxiu took the medicine bowl, looked at the dark medicine juice, and frowned slightly.
But thinking of Nanny Wu's painstaking efforts and the eldest princess's concern, she raised her head and drank the medicine.
After drinking the medicine, she couldn't help coughing a few times. Aunt Wu quickly handed her a glass of water and patted her back gently.
"Mammy, this medicine is really bitter." Yu Lingxiu said with a wry smile.
"Good medicine tastes bitter but is beneficial to the disease. Miss, you will definitely get better soon after drinking this medicine." Nanny Wu comforted her, "By the way, Miss, you need to take another dose of this medicine tonight. I will personally bring it to you then."
When Yu Lingxiu heard this, she waved her hand and said, "Mammy, there's no need to trouble you so much. I'll ask the maid to get it."
Nanny Wu shook her head seriously, "Miss, you can't do that. This is also arranged by the princess, and I must deliver it to you personally." As she spoke, a trace of guilt flashed in her eyes, "Miss, to be honest, the princess feels guilty. Because of the relationship between Master Miaoan and the prince, the princess can't do anything to the princess! She can only take better care of you."
Yu Lingxiu felt warm at heart after hearing these words. She reached out and held Aunt Wu's hand: "Aunt, don't say that. I understand."
Nanny Wu's eyes were slightly red, and she patted Yu Lingxiu's hand: "I am satisfied that the young lady can understand me. You should have a good rest, and I will bring you medicine in the evening."
After saying that, he packed up the lunch box and left.
Outside the side courtyard, a hunchbacked court physician was waiting there.
Seeing her come out, the doctor's eyes flashed with a subtle inquiry, and then he stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "Did you drink it all?"
The voice seemed to be squeezed out from the depths of the throat, with a hint of hoarseness.
"Drink it!" Nanny Wu's voice was particularly clear in the silent air.
As she spoke, she swiftly opened the food box and showed the empty bowl inside to the court doctor. "Can this medicine really take effect in three days?"
There was a hint of suspicion and a little anxiety in Nanny Wu's eyes.
The court doctor nodded slightly, with a confident look on his face: "According to this dosage, if her body is weaker, the effect will be seen in two days."
When he said this, there was a glimmer of complacency in his eyes, as if he was showing off his medical skills.
Nanny Wu's face darkened instantly, and her eyes shot towards the court doctor like a knife: "Think carefully! Don't put your bad intentions on her!"
The court doctor curled the corners of his lips, and a barely perceptible darkness flashed across his old face.
He laughed softly and said, "When did I become so kind? It's just that I saw that this girl is pretty, so I..."
As he was thinking, Nanny Wu's low shout interrupted his thoughts.
"Asshole!" Although Nanny Wu's voice was low, it was full of deterrence. "She is still useful to the master, how dare you have evil thoughts about her?"
Nanny Wu stared at the court physician, as if she wanted to see through his thoughts.
The court doctor curled his lips, showing a hint of disapproval on his face: "So I was just asking, wasn't I?"
Although he said this, he felt somewhat unconvinced in his heart.
Nanny Wu looked at the court doctor coldly, her gaze seemed to be able to freeze anyone: "You'd better take care of yourself!"
After saying that, she turned and walked away, her skirt swaying gently with her movements, bringing up a breeze.
The court doctor looked at Nanny Wu's departing back and sneered disdainfully.
In his opinion, as long as he was still useful to the princess, the princess would not do anything to him.
He was thinking in his mind, among the women in this mansion, which one did the princess not agree to marry? Thinking of this, a trace of greed and pride flashed in his eyes.
