Chapter 230 Death News
Xiao Yanheng looked at the red in her eyes, and his gaze became a little gloomy.
"You cry at night and during the day. Why are you so fond of crying?"
Xing Chuxue's tears suddenly stopped, and were replaced by an indescribable shame and anger.
Doesn't he know why she cries at night?
Seeing her embarrassed and angry, Xiao Yanheng curled up the corners of his lips into a smile.
In the palace, Xiao Baozhu also received a gift, a chubby lion dog.
The lion dog had fluffy fur and was snow-white without a trace of impurities. Its eyes were black and round. When it looked at people, the bottom of its eyes were wet, which could make people's hearts melt.
Almost at first sight, Xiao Baozhu confirmed that this was the one.
Moreover, it has a gentle temperament. When Xiao Baozhu held it, it stretched out its wet tongue to lick her palm.
I thought it was Lu Zhiran who found it, but when I asked, I found out that it was actually sent by Xiao Yanheng.
It just so happened that Xing Chuxue invited her to his house again, so Xiao Baozhu went to visit him, intending to thank him in person.
Lu Zhiran and Ye Hanyi were also invited. Xing Chuxue had several large boxes of things brought out and asked them to choose carefully. Xiao Baozhu sighed repeatedly while choosing.
"I didn't expect that the Fifth Prince, who looks so cold on the outside, is actually so considerate. Chuxue, you really married the right person."
Xing Chuxue's cheeks flushed slightly, and her heart felt uncontrollably sweet.
She also felt fortunate that she had married the right person.
Just then, Nanny Li came in to ask, "Princess, the concubines and the concubines will be coming in soon. I wonder how to arrange their courtyards?"
The sweetness in Xing Chuxue's heart was instantly wiped out, and the atmosphere in the room was momentarily stagnant.
Xing Chuxue's expression was indifferent, and her tone was a bit harsh.
"Mammy, this princess is entertaining guests. Is it time to ask for instructions on these matters?"
Nanny Li's expression froze for a moment, then she quickly bowed her head and apologized.
"It is my fault for not being considerate. Please forgive me, Princess."
Xing Chuxue's tone was slightly cold. "Then I'll give you a small punishment and a big warning. Fine you three months' salary. Leave now."
A hint of disbelief flashed in Li Ma's eyes. She opened her mouth but couldn't say anything.
After punishing Nanny Li, she felt a little relieved.
When she turned around, she found that several people were looking at her with a new look, and she felt a little uncomfortable.
"Why are you all looking at me like that?"
Lu Zhiran smiled and said, "You are different now. You have grown up."
Ye Hanyi also nodded, "You looked even more impressive just now. This is the aura that a princess should have."
Xiao Baozhu nodded repeatedly, "That old woman dared to hit your palm, so she should be punished. Let her know who the real master is."
After hearing what they said, Xing Chuxue felt more confident.
Nanny Li was the teaching nanny sent to the Xing family by Concubine Hui. She was quite harsh on herself at the beginning and did not take her master seriously.
After she married into the palace, Nanny Li's attitude was still just superficial respect. Xiao Yanheng stayed in her room every night, and Nanny Li reminded her several times that she should persuade His Highness to exercise restraint to avoid damaging his foundation.
Now, at this time, Nanny Li deliberately asked about the concubines and concubines entering the mansion, which was like pouring a bucket of cold water on her head, and it also made Xing Chuxue lose face in front of the guests.
If she didn't give her a warning, Nanny Li would become even more confused about her own identity.
Nanny Li is Huipin's person, and the other party's attitude, to a certain extent, represents Huipin's opinion.
Xing Chuxue was very clear about this.
But during this period of time, she had more or less figured out one thing: the relationship between Xiao Yanheng and his adoptive mother, Huipin, was not as harmonious as it seemed.
If he couldn't distinguish between the mother and son, he would only drift further away from Xiao Yanheng.
Xiao Baozhu comforted her again, "My fifth brother is not a heartless person. Even if a concubine or a concubine comes into the house, he will definitely treat you well."
Although she meant well to comfort him, Xing Chuxue felt even more weighed down.
If she had never received the tenderness from this man, perhaps she would not care and would not have had any extravagant expectations, but now, her heart has changed. She is no longer a tolerant and generous princess who is willing to share her husband with others.
Neither Ye Hanyi nor Lu Zhiran tried to persuade her. Any words of comfort would be pale and powerless at this moment and could not change any facts. She had to learn to grow and digest this matter on her own.
Everyone quickly started choosing gifts again.
Everyone picked out something they liked. Lu Zhiran took a fancy to a mirror. The mirror was only the size of a palm and was very delicately designed. Most importantly, the mirror surface was very clear, and it could clearly reflect every detail of a person's face.
Ye Hanyi chose a small, exquisite, but extremely sharp dagger.
Xiao Baozhu selected several spices, which were said to be delicious when used in cooking. She would ask the chef to study them carefully later.
"My fifth brother found me a newborn lion dog. I love it very much and wanted to give him something in return, but I don't know what he likes, and I'm afraid my gift won't touch his heart."
Xing Chuxue was also troubled, "I don't know what he likes."
After a pause, he said, "But I know what he hates."
Several people immediately looked at her, their eyes full of curiosity.
Xing Chuxue said, "He's afraid of bitter medicine. If you can find a good doctor who can make him a medicine that's not bitter, he'll be very happy."
Xiao Yanheng had to drink a bowl of medicine every day, and every time he drank the medicine, his brows would be furrowed.
Xiao Baozhu waved her hands repeatedly, "I can't help you with this. Not only me, but even Ah Sheng can't help you."
Jiang Nansheng had taken Xiao Yanheng's pulse before, but her medical skills were not very sophisticated at that time, and she could not prescribe a good prescription for his illness.
Lu Zhiran asked, "Excuse me, but I wonder what exactly is Prince An's illness?"
Xing Chuxue actually didn't know either. They had been married not long ago, and since he didn't bring it up, she didn't ask him rashly.
Xiao Baozhu said, "It's the heart palpitations I've had since childhood."
Heart palpitations are difficult to cure.
The fact that he has lived to this age in good health and looks like an ordinary person on a daily basis is the result of the treatment he received from famous doctors since he was a child.
It may not be easy to recover.
Lu Zhiran thought of something and paused slightly.
To be honest, this matter is not completely hopeless.
In the past, as sea transportation gradually became popular, not only did foreign exotic goods enter Da Qi, but foreigners also gradually appeared in Da Qi, and along with them, foreign medical skills were also introduced.
Lu Zhiran heard that Western medicine was far superior to Chinese medicine in some aspects. She wondered if it could cure Xiao Yanheng's illness?
However, Western doctors had mixed reputations in Da Qi, and she had only heard of them but had never seen them in person, so she naturally did not speak rashly at this time.
Having said that, I can't help but feel a little depressed.
Xing Chuxue smiled again and moved on from the heavy topic.
The atmosphere had just begun to improve slightly when a maid came hurriedly to report.
"Princess, this is terrible. The Xing family just came to report a death. Miss Xing's courtyard was flooded... Miss Xing is gone."
