Chapter 17: Apologies

87_87437Jiang Chuqing endured tears for a long time, and finally found an outlet for catharsis. Her face was flushed, and she choked up and said: "Although Chu Qing was raised by her aunt, she also knows a few words, and has read "Female Commandments" and "Female Analects". This humiliates the ancestors and implicates the family sisters, and Chu Qing will not dare to bear it. ”

Cui'er also let go, she stepped forward a few steps in front of Jiang Chuqing, and argued with a red face: "Our young lady is an innocent daughter, how can she do such a ridiculous thing?" Miss Ming Qi, you can't be bewitched by the villain and arrange our young lady to death. ”

* Although he is used to being rude, it can be seen that Jiang Chuqing's face is pale, and big tears are sliding down his face. The eyes that were washed by tears, and even darker and brighter, looked at themselves faintly, like apricot blossoms that had been beaten by the storm, sad and sad. Looking at each other, * I was inexplicably empty.

So she lowered her voice and said: "I didn't say this, now it has been spread all over the Qingyin Palace, and all the ladies and ladies have heard about it, and a few of you are hiding in this warm pavilion and don't know it!" ”

Speaking of which, she felt that it was obviously the fox in front of her who had done something unseemly, what was her heart empty? So she flattened her mouth, raised her voice and said, "By the way, there is one more thing I forgot to say just now." ”

She looked at Jiang Chuqing playfully, and continued to say cruelly: "When I came, I saw that your mother-in-law, Mrs. Jiang, was already dizzy, and I just shouted that the girl's mother-in-law would quickly find you, tie back with hemp rope, and don't stay in this princess's garden to be embarrassed." But your second sister is so good, she has been implicated in disregard of her reputation, and she is still persuading your mother-in-law to give you a chance to explain! ”

There was an uproar in the warm pavilion, to say that these ladies had reserved the words of * before, but now they all believed it.

"It's really unseemly, you praised her for not being humble or arrogant before, but now it's a mouthful!" Liu Yuchun's eyes widened, and he said to Zhong Ziyuan beside him with a look of disdain.

Zhong Ziyuan smiled slightly, and spit out eight words lightly: "One side of the word is not enough to believe." ”

Her voice was so loud that the ladies in the room listened to her. Even Jiang Chuqing could hear it clearly, she couldn't help but raise her eyes and quietly glanced at Zhong Ziyuan. She didn't expect that someone would stand up and say a word of justice for herself at this time, and her heart couldn't help but be full of gratitude.

* Like a cat with its tail stepped on, it screamed, "What do you mean? Could it be that I made up these words to tell everyone? ”

Zhong Ziyuan looked at her quietly*, her facial features were quite deep, especially the eyes that were as bright as stars, dark and deep, and seemed to have a kind of magic that made people indulge. Just when *I feel uncomfortable and want to get angry. But she sighed and said, "It is said that seeing is believing, and hearing is false." I want to ask Miss Ming Qi, have you seen this Miss Jiang San break into Prince Narui's bathroom with your own eyes and recommend a pillow to him? ”

* She shook her head dumbly and said, "Not really." ”

Zhong Ziyuan then asked, "Did Miss Ming Qi personally see Miss Jiang San asking Prince Rui to admit her?" ”

As expected, * shook his head again and said, "I haven't seen it either." Seeing that *stupidly was talking completely according to Zhong Ziyuan's meaning, Mingxiu couldn't help frowning slightly and looked at Zhong Ziyuan a few more times in surprise.

However, the girl in yellow beside her snorted coldly with disdain, and interjected: "Since you have such a cheap idea in your heart, you naturally hide it in every possible way, how can it be seen openly." ”

* She also felt that she seemed to be a little weak just now, and she couldn't help but puff up and said, "You are such a strange person, even if I didn't see it with my own eyes." Someone has seen it with their own eyes, otherwise how could it have spread throughout the entire Qingyin Temple? ”

Cui'er was anxious in her heart, and couldn't help but argue loudly: "You are talking nonsense, our young lady is innocent, and she has never had such a thought." It's a pity that she's just a girl, and no one will pay attention to what comes out of her mouth.

"It's just a cloud of people." Zhong Ziyuan took a few steps forward and walked to Jiang Chuqing's side, showed a warm smile at her, and then said softly: "Miss Jiang San, can you take off your shoes and socks on your right foot for me to see?" I looked like it wasn't hurting a lot. ”

Jiang Chuqing was stunned for a moment, although there was a heart-piercing pain in her right ankle, she tried her best to endure it all the way, and she thought that she was still hiding it well, but she still did not escape Zhong Ziyuan's eyes.

Cui'er also remembered that Jiang Chuqing sprained her foot not long ago, she exclaimed, hurriedly squatted down, and helped Jiang Chuqing take off the shoes and socks on her feet, and the scene in front of her surprised everyone. I saw that her originally white and slender ankles were now swollen like steamed buns, and through the delicate skin, you could see a large patch of hideous dark red underneath. Even if they are not doctors, they all know that Jiang Chuqing's ankle is indeed not lightly injured. Then they looked at each other and stopped talking.

Cui'er cried in distress: "Miss, you are so seriously injured, why are you still silent, if you hurt your bones, how can it be good?" I'll go to Madame and ask her to take us home to the doctor first. She stood up abruptly and wanted to leave, but Jiang Chuqing and Zhong Ziyuan said in unison, "Wait." ”

Jiang Chuqing glanced at Zhong Ziyuan in surprise, but Zhong Ziyuan grinned and said, "Let me take a look first, right?" Although Jiang Chuqing saw Zhong Ziyuan for the first time, she felt that there was a magic in her body that made people feel inexplicably reassured, so she nodded slightly and whispered: "It's hard work!" ”

Zhong Ziyuan first probed her pulse, then lifted her right foot and placed it on her lap. Grabbed her toes with one hand, grabbed her heels with the other hand and slowly twisted left and right a few times, listening to the sound of bones rubbing against each other, she slowly let go of her hand and put Jiang Chuqing's feet back in place. Seeing this, Cui'er hurriedly asked, "Is my young lady's feet okay?" ”

Zhong Ziyuan raised his head and said softly to Jiang Chuqing, whose face was pale, but he bit his lip tightly and did not exhale in pain: "Fortunately, I didn't hurt my bones, but I can't continue to walk recklessly." After returning home, it is best to rest for a few days and wait for the swelling to disappear before getting out of bed, otherwise I am afraid that there will be endless troubles. Then she instructed Cui'er: "You go find a porcelain vase that can seal the mouth, fill it with snow, and put it on the wound for your young lady." ”

"Yes." Cui'er agreed, and immediately found suitable bottles all over the room. Over there, Liu Yuchun hurriedly beckoned to Cui'er and said, "Come here." Then he put a palm-sized cloisonnΓ© enamel handstove in his arms in her hand, and said softly, "Let's use this first!" ”

Her cloisonnΓ© enamel hand stove has a small belly and a copper cap at the mouth of the bottle to prevent the charcoal ash inside from overflowing, which is indeed very in line with Zhong Ziyuan's requirements. Cui'er immediately took the hand stove, and after curtsiding her knees to thank her, she ran outside the door to load the snow.

Zhong Ziyuan stood up and looked at Liu Yuchun from a distance, and squirmed her lips slightly, Liu Yuqing didn't need to look at it to know that she must have said thank you. So she smiled back, then turned back to the window and sat down.

Zhong Ziyuan walked quickly to the desk, picked up the wolf pen on it, took a piece of gold-sprinkled rice paper, and waved a book on it.

Seeing this, the * on the side couldn't help pouting and said, "Which young lady is this, Leng ran to the princess's garden to be a doctor." ”

Mingxiu pulled her by the hand, and said sternly: "Seventh sister, just say a few words!" The more she said it, the more wrong it became, but she didn't say it in her heart.

After a while, Cui'er ran in again, and she gently pressed the hand stove filled with snow and had become very cold on Jiang Chuqing's ankle, Jiang Chuqing couldn't help but gasp.

At this time, Zhong Ziyuan also opened the prescription, she picked up the gold-sprinkled rice paper full of hairpins, blew the ink that had not dried on it, and then handed it to Jiang Chuqing, and said with a smile: "Since you still have menstrual affairs on your body, I didn't give you those decoctions that invigorate blood and dispel blood stasis." This recipe is for external application, and how to use it I have written on it in detail. After you go back, you just have to do what is written on it, and after ten days, you can be alive again. ”

Cui'er glanced at Jiang Chuqing hesitantly, Jiang Chuqing had already been embarrassed by the word "moon" that suddenly appeared. She endured her shyness, took the gold rice paper in Zhong Ziyuan's hand, and said gratefully: "Great grace is not grateful." Cui'er immediately took it, carefully folded it, and put it in her sleeve pocket.

Zhong Ziyuan glanced around at the people with different faces around him, and said deliberately puzzled: "I really don't know, Miss Jiang San's foot injury is so bad, and she has a menstrual affair, how can she think of recommending a pillow to Prince Rui." Aren't you afraid that Prince Rui will be angry and charge him with insulting the royal family? ”

Mingxiu, who had watched it for a long time, finally sighed, she stood up and blessed Jiang Chuqing, and said, "I hope that Miss Jiang San will forgive her sister for being young and ignorant, so she will spread false rumors like this." ”

As soon as she said this, it was tantamount to indirectly determining that Jiang Chuqing had been wronged. Jiang Chuqing's heart was relieved, and her eyes turned red again
