Chapter 5: For Her Sake, I'll Make an Exception
Jade's wrist hurt, and she hurriedly loosened Chu Ning's hair, and Han Tang let go of her wrist.
As soon as she saw that it was a foreign man, her tense nerves relaxed and she rubbed her red wrist.
"His Highness fell asleep during the meal, and his head was about to fall into the soup, so the slave and maid helped His Highness to lift his head up."
She leaned over to Chu Ning's face and brushed the vegetable leaves from her hair, "Your Highness, did you say that?" ”
Jade glanced at Chu Ning again, and felt that she was really stupid, so she swaggered out.
"Stop." Han Tang shouted in a low voice.
Jade turned around, mocking, and said with a smile: "Does Han Xiaogongzi want to beat someone for a fool?" ”
"She is the third princess Chu Ning." Han Tang's face was frosty, "Also, I never hit a woman." ”
Jade sneered and turned her head to leave, but was slapped by Han Tang and fell heavily to the door.
Jade took a mouthful of ash and raised her head from the ground to glare at Han Tang.
Han Tang also glared back at her unceremoniously, turned his head to look at Chu Ning, and said, "But for her, I can make an exception." ”
He didn't take it seriously, he just taught her a lesson.
"You!" Jade was in pain, and she didn't dare to provoke him again, so she had to get up and walk away.
Han Tang wiped his face for Chu Ning, took the food to the kitchen to find Xiao Shen'er to heat it up, and smashed the food with a spoon and mixed it together.
"Your Highness, come, eat slowly." Xiao Shen'er fed her with a spoon in small bites.
Han Tang was a little relieved by this childish-looking little palace maid, and stood by and watched her feed Chu Ning.
His father always taught him that military orders are like mountains, and they must be completed when they are received.
Now, he is ordered to protect Chu Ning, and Chu Ning is his responsibility.
Chu Ning ate a small half bowl of food, his throat was already sore so badly that he couldn't swallow it anymore.
Xiao Shen'er took out a handkerchief from her arms and slowly wiped the residual juice from the corners of her mouth for Chu Ning.
At this time, Jade walked in with a bowl of jet-black decoction, "Your Highness, it's time to take medicine, this is the prescription prescribed by Imperial Doctor Zhang." ”
Jade drove Xiao Shen'er away, and said in a strange manner: "It's the first time I saw a child of a family rushing to the palace to serve someone. ”
"Doesn't Han Xiaogongzi know that there is a difference between men and women? The masters in the palace are all eunuchs. ”
Han Tang wanted to refute, but thinking that what Jade said was also reasonable, it was inevitable that rumors would spread if he stayed in Chu Ning's house.
He glanced at Jade, turned around and said, "Before, don't let me see it a second time." ”
As soon as Han Tang left, Jade immediately pulled down her face, grabbed Chu Ning's chin and was about to pour the medicine into her mouth.
Chu Ning suddenly recalled the scene when Jingqin poured her medicine, and finally had a trace of strength in her body, struggling to get rid of the confinement of jade.
Jade splashed a few drops of medicine on the back of her hand, and said angrily: "Toast and don't eat and drink." ”
As she spoke, she stubbornly sent the bowl to Chu Ning's mouth, and the porcelain bowl was smashed to the side when the two of them pushed and shoved.
Jade's eyes turned red with anger, and she slashed the fragments containing some remnants of soup into her face.
When Chu Ning reached out to block it, the fragment stabbed deeply into her arm.
Jade was startled, and hurriedly pulled out the fragments, and the fragments went horizontally, drawing a hideous wound.
Bubbling blood gushed out from the wound, Dongzhu heard the movement and walked in, catching a glimpse of the blood on Chu Ning's body.
Dongzhu and Jade glanced at each other and immediately understood.
She went out and exclaimed, "Hurry, hurry up and call the doctor!" His Highness accidentally scratched himself. ”
