Chapter 417: Random Biting
Seeing Yu Lingxiu's increasingly pale face, Nanny Wu's eyes turned, revealing a subtle calculation on her face, and she asked tentatively, "I heard that your mother, Princess Anyang, once had a folk remedy that can relieve pain. Do you have it? If so, you can use it now."
Yu Lingxiu was slightly stunned: "My mother never gave me any folk prescriptions!"
Nanny Wu fixed her eyes on Yu Lingxiu, with a trace of scrutiny in her eyes. The corners of her mouth slightly raised, and she pulled out a smile that seemed to be concerned. Her voice was a little hoarse, but deliberately soft: "Lingxiu, you can't take the pain in your leg lightly. Think about it, if this pain continues, and the frequency of attacks increases in the future, your leg may really be useless."
As she spoke, she sighed softly and raised her hand to pat Yu Lingxiu's shoulder. The action seemed intimate, but in fact it carried a sense of irresistible oppression.
Yu Lingxiu's face turned pale in an instant, a trace of panic and fear flashed in her eyes, and she subconsciously clutched the corner of her clothes.
Nanny Wu's words undoubtedly hit the point that she feared most.
Seeing this, Nanny Wu was secretly pleased with herself and continued to persuade her: "Think carefully again, did your mother tell you anything before she left? Or in other words, did she tell you who to go to if you run into trouble? Maybe the way to cure your leg lies in these instructions."
Yu Lingxiu lowered her head, frowning, and shook her head after a long while: "Mammy, really not!"
A hint of disappointment flashed across Nanny Wu's eyes, but she quickly returned to her kind look. However, she knew in her heart that Yu Lingxiu probably really didn't know any secrets.
Thinking of this, she walked to Yu Lingxiu's bed with small steps and said with concern: "Miss Lingxiu, I will go to the princess's place and wait for her. When she wakes up, I will report your matter to her in detail."
Yu Lingxiu originally wanted to say that she was in so much pain, why couldn’t she just report it directly?
But looking at Aunt Wu's stern face, she endured it, nodded slightly, and forced a smile on her pale face: "Thank you, Aunt."
Nanny Wu turned around and looked at the court doctor beside her, her eyes full of solemnity: "Physician, the young lady's health is entirely dependent on you, you must take good care of her."
The court doctor immediately bowed and said respectfully, "Don't worry, Madam. I will do my best."
When Nanny Wu and the court doctor walked out of the door together, Nanny Wu stopped and looked around vigilantly. When she saw that no one was around, she lowered her voice and said coldly to the court doctor, "There are some things that you understand even if I don't tell you. It's fine if you can get some benefits from the girl, but if you go too far, you won't be able to explain to Her Royal Highness the Princess!"
The court doctor was just thinking about the silky smoothness of the skin he had just touched. When he heard what Madam Wu said, he was startled and nodded hurriedly: "Madam, you are right. I know what I am doing and I will never go beyond the rules."
Nanny Wu looked at him deeply, then turned around and left with steady steps.
Princess's Office
The sky was just beginning to turn pale, and the faint light of morning sun filtered through the window lattice, shining onto the blue brick floor inside the house, outlining faint light and shadows.
Nanny Wu had been waiting outside the house, listening attentively to the movements inside.
When she heard the subtle sound, she knew that the eldest princess had woken up.
So she pushed open the door quietly, walked into the room with small steps, and prepared to help the eldest princess wash and dress after she got up.
"Did she say that?" The eldest princess sat on the edge of the bed, narrowing her eyes slightly, with a probing look in her eyes. Her black hair was casually draped over her shoulders, and a few strands of hair fell beside her fair cheeks, making her expression even more stern.
"My lord, I have asked her before," Nanny Wu stepped forward quickly, bowed slightly, and replied respectfully, "She knows nothing! It seems that the county lady left no one or anything for her!"
When the princess heard this, her eyes were filled with suspicion and disbelief: "Impossible, this is Anyang's most beloved daughter, and he sent her to me on purpose, how could I not leave a trump card for her?"
As she spoke, she slowly stood up.
Seeing this, Madam Wu hesitated for a moment, then spoke carefully, "But from what I see about Miss Yu, it seems that she really doesn't know! Could it be that the county lady has made plans for her somewhere else?"
The princess stopped and fell into deep thought. She raised her head slightly and looked at the wall in the distance. Her eyes were a little empty, as if she could see through the wall into the distant past.
She was well aware of her friendship with Anyang. How could he, a daughter he valued so much, leave her helpless so easily?
"Go check again," the eldest princess suddenly said in a low but firm voice, "Check every person around her one by one. I don't believe that Anyang can do things perfectly!"
"Yes, I'll do it right away!" Nanny Wu responded quickly, bowed again, then turned around and left in a hurry.
Beiyuan
In the afternoon, the sunlight shines through the carved window lattices into Chu Youan's boudoir.
Yuzhu carefully carried the plate and walked quickly to Lin Miaoyin's side. She looked a little nervous and said in a low voice, "Miss, I just went to the kitchen to get food and heard that Miss Yu was sick again."
As he spoke, he looked around cautiously, fearing that there might be ears on the other side of the wall. "Do you think she will blame us for this again?"
Lin Miaoyin was leisurely flipping through a book. Upon hearing this, she frowned slightly and said calmly, "What does this have to do with us?"
Upon hearing this, Yuzhu put down her plate anxiously and said, "Last time you kindly boiled medicine to relieve her fever, but as soon as she woke up, she yelled that you had poisoned her. This time you invited a court doctor to see her overnight, and she might say that you were the one who did it again!"
Lin Miaoyin sneered, her eyes full of disdain: "Who would believe such a ridiculous statement if it were told to others?"
At this time, Chu Youan, who had been sitting on the side, opened her big watery eyes and asked curiously with a hint of anger: "Mother, you saved Yu Xiuling, but she repaid you with hatred?"
Lin Miaoyin was about to admit it, but she swallowed the words back.
She looked at her innocent daughter and thought that the environment in this large mansion was complicated and that the child should not be too kind and naive.
So, after a short pause, he said calmly, "I didn't really want to save her, but I just wanted to get some information out of her, so I had to keep her awake."
Chu Youan thought of the woman surnamed Yu and her previous schemes against him, and he became even more wary of her: "Then we should not meet again in the future, lest she makes random accusations!"
