Chapter 116: I Can't Hold It
A few days have passed, Xiaolan's injuries have also improved a lot, she doesn't have to lie in bed all the time, and occasionally she can help Gu Muzhi do something, but she can't do dirty work for the time being, and occasionally watching Gu Muzhi do her own laundry, she is so anxious that tears come out.
The three of them hadn't eaten properly for many days.
Looking at the plate of fried vegetables that had been cold on the table, a plate of fried tofu cubes that had been broken into slag early, and then seeing that her girl was a patient who needed to be taken care of, but she still swallowed rice very naturally on these unnutritious leftovers, the maid still couldn't help but be aggrieved and annoyed.
"Ah Zhi, I'll go to the kitchen to get food!"
She put down her meal and spoke out loud.
Gu Muzhi frowned, "Your injuries are not healed yet, don't go yet." ”
With that, she put down the dishes and chopsticks, stood up and prepared to go to the bed to rest for a while, her appetite had been getting worse and worse recently, and she forced herself to swallow only two mouthfuls of food, but the slightly sour leftovers were really unacceptable.
Xiaolan watched her walk slowly into the house, hurriedly followed, and said, "Miss Zhi, you only ate two bites, let's eat a little more." ”
Gu Muzhi waved his hand, and suddenly found that he was almost out of strength to even talk, and his whole body was weak, and he only had time to grab the door, so that he didn't fall down. Her crumbling appearance startled both Xiaolan and the medicine girl, and hurriedly stepped forward to support her.
Gu Muzhi rubbed her temples with her index finger, and when the dizziness in her head disappeared, she reluctantly pulled out a comforting smile to the two of them, "Don't worry, I'll just rest for a while." ”
Xiaolan was worried and wanted to ask, but was stopped by the doctor girl, and then she saw the doctor girl shaking her head at her and said, "Let Miss Ah Zhi rest." ”
"Then I'll help you."
Xiaolan had tears in her eyes, but she didn't say anything, just waited for Gu Muzhi to go to the bed, and then tucked the quilt for her.
Gu Muzhi seemed to be extremely tired, and before his head touched the pillow, he fell asleep, breathing very shallowly.
After waiting for a while, Xiaolan left the room lightly, found the medicine girl who was decocting the medicine, and asked, "Why did the girl become so sleepy?" ”
The medicine girl's brows furrowed deeply, and after hearing Xiaolan's question, she first sighed, and then said: "The girl's foundation is already thin, and before leaving, Dr. Lu told me to regulate the girl's body according to the prescription he gave, but during this time, the palace treated the girl harshly, not only did the daily meals be some rancid and cold dishes, but even the medicinal materials were sent with some problems, plus you were punished some time ago, although the girl didn't say it, she has been hiding depression in her heart. ”
There was a trace of pity in the words of the medical woman, although she had not been here for a long time and the food was not good on weekdays, but this was the first master she had met with such a good character.
Xiaolan unconsciously clenched her hands, and her voice trembled a little.
"You said girl, she's not in good shape...... What is the meaning. ”
The doctor girl raised her head, her eyes were a little sympathetic, and she hesitated for a moment to tell the truth, "With the girl's current body, even if the medicine sent by the palace after the palace is the best, I'm afraid it won't work, and if it goes on like this, the girl is afraid that it is-"
She didn't say the last words, but both of them could understand the meaning.
Seeing that Xiaolan's face was pale, the doctor girl hurriedly added, "But Doctor Lu will definitely have a way." ”
Xiaolan stumbled away with red eyes, she was going out to find a doctor for the girl.
Gu Muzhi slept all night until night, and when she woke up, she only saw a red candle burning next to the bed, she stared at the red candle for a long time, and the memory in her mind gradually returned to its place, and when she was about to get out of bed, suddenly a gentle question sounded in her ears.
"The girl is weak, and if she doesn't take care of it, the consequences are unimaginable, do you really need my family master to help you?"
Gu Muzhi didn't see anyone, and then shook his head without hesitation, "No need." ”
And the man didn't say anything more.
The news that Gu Muzhi's body was getting weaker and weaker somehow began to spread throughout the palace, and for a while, the atmosphere in the palace became more and more heavy, and the concubines who always liked to get together on weekdays were not so noisy.
Everyone watched such an innocent person slowly being tortured to death by Mrs. Su, but they didn't dare to save it at all, and a sense of powerlessness climbed into their hearts.
When the news reached Su Yue'er's ears, she couldn't help but laugh heartily, and a hint of smugness appeared in her eyes, "Her body can't hold up for a few days, and when the prince comes back, she doesn't know what kind of mood she will be in when she sees her red face and dry bones." ”
The maid smiled flatteringly: "I'm afraid that the prince has forgotten that slut for a long time, I'm afraid he won't ask at all, only you, Madame, are worthy of the prince's favor." ”
"Hehe, your little mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter."
Su Yue'er's smile trembled, her index finger was on the maid's forehead, and she stopped laughing for a long time, and said in a very good mood: "It's time for lunch now, I've been in a good mood lately, and I'm hungry fast." ”
"Yesterday, a farmer caught a few wild boars and sent them to the house." The maid smiled, "I specially asked the kitchen to leave some good ones for you, I'm afraid I'm going to send them over at this time." ”
As he was talking, someone brought food after a while, and the dishes on the table were quite sumptuous.
Su Yue'er ate for a while, and suddenly someone ran over in a panic.
"What kind of system is it to be flustered!"
Su Yue'er drank the hoofflower soup and spoke impatiently.
The man knelt on the ground and said hurriedly: "Mrs. Su, the prince is back, with Dr. Lu, and is talking with a few concubines, seeing that it is almost to your courtyard." ”
"It's so sudden, why didn't I give a letter."
Su Yue'er was startled, but she didn't think too much about it, and laughed in surprise, "Go, follow me to meet the prince." ”
Just as he straightened his skirt slightly, there was a sound outside, and then Qin Boyong walked in, accompanied by Lu Yuan and a few concubines.
"I've seen the prince."
Su Yue'er hurriedly saluted with a smile, and then stuck it in front of Qin Boyong.
Qin Boyong hummed lightly, glanced at the room casually, and said, "You have a good appetite to eat so early." ”
Originally, he didn't plan to come over, but as soon as he entered the palace, he met a few concubines, and a few women insisted on following, so he came to Su Yue'er by the way to have a look.
After all, she has been away for so long, and everything in the house is taken care of by Su Yue'er.
Hearing this, Su Yue'er's face flushed slightly, but she didn't lose her temper, but instead invited Qin Boyong to stay, "Yesterday, a farmer sent two wild boars, and the concubine was really greedy, so she asked the kitchen to send it in advance but didn't eat it yet, just when the prince returned home, why don't I let the kitchen add some side dishes, and eat here with me." ”
Saying this, Qin Boyong did feel a little hungry, so he nodded, "It's okay." ”
Su Yue'er happily asked people to go to the small kitchen to spread the word.
At this moment, Lu Yuan suddenly saluted Qin Boyong and said, "Lord Wang, you are dining here, and your subordinates want to go and see Miss Gu, after all, I have always been responsible for her illness." ”
"Go ahead." Qin Boyong nodded.
Su Yue'er's face froze instantly, panic flashed in her eyes, and she hurriedly made her eyes stop Lu Yuan, and said with a smile: "Since Doctor Lu is back, why rush for such a while, it's better to stay and eat together,"
"No, I'll go first."
"Wait!" Su Yue'er's panicked voice trembled a little, in case Lu Yuan saw Gu Muzhi's food......
Thinking of the consequences, Su Yue'er's throat was a little dry inexplicably, "Let's eat a little before leaving, wild boars are rare." ”
Qin Boyong finally saw that something was wrong, and his eyes gradually became cold, "Why don't you let him go to see Gu Muzhi, why are you so panicked?" ”
"I, I just want to keep Dr. Lu for dinner." The smile on Su Yue'er's face was almost unbearable, and the forcible fake smile looked like she was crying.
