Chapter VII: Injuries
Since Imperial Physician Liang left, Huan Xiang has been sitting quietly on the edge of the bed, his eyes blank and he doesn't know what he is thinking.
It wasn't until the night was halfway through the night and there was a sudden sound of wind in the middle of the moon that Huan Xiang suddenly moved slightly. In the blink of an eye, there was already one more person in the room.
"Master, your subordinates have already ordered you to go down. Since returning to the palace, the emperor has launched a secret guard to find the whereabouts of the antidote. The subordinates ordered someone to search and found that Jinqing had indeed been in contact with people outside the Prime Minister's Mansion before, and her family seemed to have suddenly disappeared and moved away half a month ago. It's just that the body of the person who met Jinqing had already been found fifty miles away on the outskirts of the city, and he was an orphan, and his identity was blank, as if someone had deliberately erased it. When the subordinates found out here, the clues were broken, and the master was asked to punish him. The man in black bowed his head and pleaded guilty, but he couldn't see his face clearly.
"Xiao Lin, after following me for so many years, haven't you even made this little progress? Let them continue to investigate the whereabouts of Jinqing's family, and also, you must not be discovered by the emperor's people, and pay attention to hiding your whereabouts. As for the punishment, this time I will spare you first, and give you a chance to make meritorious contributions, otherwise, go back to the torture hall and receive the punishment, double! "For some reason, the Prime Minister has changed his gentle breath from the past, and the strong one is so strong that people can't breathe.
"Yes, the subordinates will definitely live up to the master's trust."
"Alright, you can go down first."
"Yes." As the man answered, looking at the figure of the person in the same place, everything that had just happened seemed to be an illusion, and the prime minister was no longer imposing.
"Alas, Yao'er, what should Daddy do? It's Daddy who failed to protect you and your mother......" Huan Xiang sighed, his big hand with distinct bones gently stroked Yao'er's little face, and the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were filled with sorrow.
In the early morning of the second day, when the prime minister's wife woke up, the first thing she saw was Huan Ziyu, who was standing by the bed, frowning and sleeping very unsteadily. Unexpectedly, Mrs. moved, Huan opened his eyes as if he was aware of it, and took Mrs.'s hand.
"Madame, are you awake, are you feeling alright?"
"I'm fine, let Xiangye worry. Xiangye is afraid that he didn't sleep well last night, if you lie down and rest well, I'll take care of Yao'er. The Prime Minister's wife said softly.
"No need. Madam, it was I who failed to protect you, causing Yao'er to suffer such torture, and causing you to worry......" Huan Ziyu clenched Madame's hands with a guilty face.
"Of course, you can't blame Xiangye, if you blame it, you have to blame that thief is too hateful, and he doesn't even let go of such a young child, but it's my Yao'er......" Mrs. said and choked again.
"Madame, don't be angry, I believe that as a husband, I will definitely find a way to cure Yao'er." Huan Ziyu took his wife into his arms as he spoke, but his eyes gradually became deeper and deeper into the distance, as if he was thinking about something......
After a while, I heard Yueqing say outside the door: "Xiangye and Mrs. are already up?" Do you want to get your makeup now? ”
"Yueqing, come in and help your wife freshen up." Yueqing stood for a moment, and then heard Xiangye's voice coming.
"Yes. Then the slave and the maid will call for someone. As he spoke, he turned around and called a group of maids to come and serve.
"Yueqing, I punished Jinqing yesterday. You all grew up with me, and I know that you and Jinqing have always been good, and it is inevitable that you will be sad. But since she has done such a thing, she should have thought that my relationship with her master and servant has ended. In the end, if she hadn't hurt Yao'er, I wouldn't have been ruthless. But you have to know that I am also sad, and now the only person close to me is you, I just hope that you will not betray me like Jinqing......" Just as Yueqing was curling his wife's hair, Mrs. suddenly said.
"Madam, Yueqing doesn't dare. Yueqing understands that the death of the crime committed by Jinqing this time is not a pity, but it is the kindness of Mrs. The slave maid also called Mrs. Dao from the princess all the way, and naturally understood that Mrs. had room for thinking of the past feelings, and did not let Jinqing die much undignified, nor did she embarrass her family. The slave and maid will definitely serve the lady well, and they will never dare to have two hearts for the lady and the young lady......" Yueqing heard this, and knelt down with a "plop".
"Well, I trust you. I said this, I didn't suspect you, but I was afraid that you would think I was too ruthless to Jinqing, so get up quickly. The prime minister's wife smiled softly when she heard this, and stretched out her hand to pick up Yueqing.
"Yes, Mrs. Xie."
"By the way, I'm not in the mood for a long time, and I just disposed of Jinqing, Yao'er is still unconscious, Xiangye said that we also need more helpers in our hospital, and I will send a few girls he specially selected in a while, bring them here, and you will bring them in directly.
"Today, I'm going to take care of Miss, don't talk to me about other things, if it's not a big deal, you can think about it first. You first go to the kitchen and tell them to make ginseng and black chicken soup, and then send it to Xiangye, so that Xiangye can make up for his body. ”
"Yes", Yueqing turned around and left after speaking, and took away the maids behind him, leaving only two big maids waiting in front of him.
The prime minister's wife turned around and walked to the inner room, Yao'er was not put in the small crib last night, and at this time her face was pale, as if she was asleep, lying quietly on the bed, which was distressing. Madame looked at Haruka with a look of tenderness and affection, and if you ignored her reddening eyes, time seemed to stand still.
"What a good child my Jing'er is, she doesn't cry or make trouble on weekdays, she laughs when she sees her mother, she laughs happily, and she can always make her mother happy when she sees you...... Jing'er, you get better quickly, my mother is not going anywhere, I am here with you, as long as you wake up, you can see your mother's ......"
"Jing'er, don't you want a mother...... My mother still has a lot of things to do for you, my mother hasn't made you beautiful little clothes, she hasn't taken you to see the scenery outside the Prime Minister's Mansion, and you haven't tasted many, many good things...... Jing'er, you haven't learned to call your mother and daddy...... My mother will guard you to grow up, and I will find you a good husband, see your children and grandchildren, and watch you be happy for a lifetime......"
"Jing'er, are you going to wake up soon? As long as you wake up, your mother will promise you whatever you want......"
The prime minister's wife thought like this, and her heart became more and more like a knife.
"Madam, Imperial Doctor Liang has come to ask Miss for a pulse, do you want to come in at a convenient time?" Just when she was caught up in her own thoughts, Yueqing came back with Imperial Doctor Liang.
"Imperial Doctor Liang is here? Come on, come on in. The Prime Minister's wife said urgently.
"Madam, the minister came to ask the county lord for a pulse, if you disturb Madame, please don't blame Madame." Imperial Physician Liang bowed his hand, and said respectfully.
"What did the Imperial Doctor say? He also asked the doctor to carefully diagnose and treat the little girl. ”
"It's nature." As he spoke, Yueqing stepped forward and covered Yao'er's tiny wrist with a silk handkerchief as thin as a cicada's wings.
Imperial Physician Liang cut his pulse for a long time, without saying a word, his brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and the uneasiness in his wife's heart when he saw it magnified......
