Chapter 122: Tongue Cutting

"Okay, I know your concerns." After Xiao Xuan bathed, she wore a bed gown made of brocade, and her long black hair like a crow's feather was scattered behind her, exuding a thick heat. "I've brought everyone back tonight, so I can't throw a child out right now."

"But that kid looks young, but his strength can't be suppressed by a few of our palace maids." Dan Tang took a soft bath towel and wrapped Xiao Xuan's long hair, and the movements were very delicate and gentle to wipe the excess moisture on the long hair. "In case something happens to her on this night, how will the slaves and maids explain to the imperial concubine?"

"Hey, it's been a day since I left the palace, and I'm really tired." Xiao Xuan turned around and said with a smile. "Anyway, I asked the green forest to lock that kid in the house, and I don't think there should be anything wrong in just one night. Let's do this tonight, hurry up and dry my hair, I want to rest. ”

Dan Tang is a small servant of Xiao Xuan, compared to the green forest, he is more aware of Xiao Xuan's temperament, and knows that Xiao Xuan's words have come to this, and he will not change his attention, so he has to stop talking about this matter. just quietly wiped Xiao Xuan's wet hair.

Early the next morning, Xiao Xuan slept all night, and when he woke up, he realized that he was in terrible pain all over his body.

"Princess." Dan Tang and the others brought hot water to come over to serve Xiao Xuan, and asked softly outside the gauze tent in front of the bed. "Are you up?"

"Hiss~" Xiao Xuan supported his body with his arms and slowly sat up. "I'm up."

Outside the gauze tent, there were palace maids who put away the gauze tent from both sides. Dan Tang stepped forward to look at the expression on Xiao Xuan's face, and hurriedly asked.

"Princess, what's wrong?"

"Nothing." Xiao Xuan shook his head, "What about the green forest and the yellow grapefruit?" ”

"Didn't the princess tell them to keep an eye on the child?" Dan Tang stepped forward to help Xiao Xuan get up from the bed. "When I woke up in the morning, I happened to meet Huang Yu who went to the small kitchen to beg for food, saying that the child woke up early. Lu Lin was afraid that if she was hungry, she would make a fuss like she did yesterday when she was in Yongdao, and then their two thin arms and legs would not be able to control her. Lu Lin hurriedly asked Huang Yu to go to the small kitchen to get some food, and gave her some to eat first. ”

"Hmm," Xiao Xuan suddenly had a flash of inspiration and asked. "If I remember correctly, today should be the day when Doctor Liu from Tai Hospital will come to ask for peace for me, right?"

"Yes, the princess remembers, it's today." Dan Tang thought for a moment and nodded in response. "What do you mean, princess?"

"It's been almost five years since Imperial Doctor Liu asked me for Ping'anmai, and he doesn't talk much in the past few days, which is just right for today's situation." Xiao Xuan clapped his hands and decided. "Later, while there are not many people here, let the green forest send that child over. I see that she has new and old injuries, and she can't speak, so I have to ask Doctor Liu to help me take a look. ”

"Princess, you took in the child without knowing from the imperial concubine, and now you are also asking you to invite Imperial Doctor Liu to see her injury, every time you have asked for a peaceful pulse, the imperial concubine Niangniang has to ask Imperial Doctor Liu to come over for questioning, what if Imperial Physician Liu tells this matter to Imperial Concubine Niangniang?"

"Dan Tang, you are obviously the same age as me, why do you always have a heart that can't be finished." Xiao Xuan said disappreciatively. "It's been five years since Imperial Doctor Liu asked for peace for me, and when he said one more word in front of me, even in front of my mother, he wouldn't say much. Put your heart back in your belly. ”

When Xiao Xuan was having breakfast, Lu Lin and Huang Yu led the girl left and right.

Xu had eaten well and slept well last night, and this morning this girl was not as aggressive as last night. In addition, they rubbed in the green forest for a long time yesterday and washed her cleanly, and now she looks a little more well-behaved and cute standing obediently among them.

I don't know if Huang Yu didn't let her eat enough in the morning, but when she walked to Xiao Xuan, the girl's eyes were firmly fixed on the food placed on the table in front of Xiao Xuan.

"Green Forest, take down this plate of crystal shrimp dumplings on my table." Xiao Xuan looked at her little appearance, couldn't help laughing, and said to Lu Lin. "Give her food."

"Yes." Lu Lin let go of the hand holding the girl, stepped forward to the table and took down the crystal shrimp dumplings, the girl's eyes kept following the footsteps of the green forest, and the green forest handed her the things, she still grabbed them directly, and threw them into her mouth one by one.

"Hey, hey." Xiao Xuan said. "Be careful, eat slowly, beware of choking."

As soon as Xiao Xuan's words fell, she really choked. Xiao Xuan handed over the bowl of soup in front of her, she hurriedly reached out and grabbed it, and drank it with a grunt.

It was easy to catch her breath, her big eyes turned, she looked at Xiao Xuan, who was looking at her with a smile, and actually picked up the empty soup bowl with both hands and sent it back to Xiao Xuan.

"Have you eaten enough?" Xiao Xuan smiled and took the initiative to ask her. "If I'm not full, I have something else to eat here."

The girl listened to Xiao Xuan's words, tilted her head and looked at Xiao Xuan carefully for a while, subconsciously touched her slightly bulging belly, and nodded hesitantly.

Xiao Xuan watched the girl's movements, thinking that although she couldn't speak, she could still hear others.

"You stay with me obediently, I can feed you." Xiao Xuan slowed down her speech and said it to the girl word by word. "You have injuries on your body, and I will arrange for someone to treat you after a while, and you are not allowed to make trouble when you see people. Otherwise, not only will you not be able to eat, but I will also have the people who caught you yesterday tie you up again, you know? ”

After listening to Xiao Xuan's words, the girl seemed to suddenly remember something, her face turned white with fright, and she nodded again and again.

When it was time to arrive, Imperial Doctor Liu came on time.

"The princess is fine." After carefully diagnosing Xiao Xuan's pulse, Mrs. Liu only said six words, and then asked the little medicine boy behind him to pack up the pulse case back into the medicine box he brought with him, and he got up and was about to leave. "Wechen retired."

"Hey, Doctor Liu waits." Xiao Xuan stopped him with a smile.

Doctor Liu stopped in confusion.

"My little palace maid here happened to be injured a little, and I asked Imperial Doctor Liu to help take a look, okay?" Xiao Xuan said, and the green forest on the side walked over with the girl.

"Since the princess has this order, Weichen knows." Doctor Liu sat down again, pointed to another empty stool in front of her, and motioned for the girl to sit down.

The girl suddenly saw the living person, struggled again, and turned to hide behind the green forest.

"You come out obediently, let the imperial doctor finish reading you, and I will give you something to eat." Xiao Xuan said with a smile.

The girl actually listened to Xiao Xuan's words, obediently came out from behind the green forest, and sat in front of Imperial Doctor Liu.

After some looking, hearing and asking, Doctor Liu briefly checked the scars on the girl's limbs after being prompted by Xiao Xuan.

The girl suddenly stopped when she saw him, and when the matter was over, she hurriedly got up. Doctor Liu grabbed her, clamped her chin with his right hand, and pinched her chin somewhere, forcing the girl to open her mouth. Imperial Physician Liu looked at her mouth, and his face changed suddenly.

"Doctor Liu, what's wrong?" Xiao Xuan naturally noticed the change in Imperial Physician Liu's face and asked. "Is there something wrong with her?"

"If you go back to the princess, most of the injuries on this child's body are just some flesh wounds, and they don't hurt the internal organs and bones, as long as they are well maintained for five or six days." The girl's chin was clamped by someone like this, and she was about to struggle with unhappiness, but Imperial Doctor Liu quickly let go, turned her head to look at Xiao Xuan and said. "But her tongue has been cut out, and her ears are intact, so she just can't speak."

"What?" Hearing that Imperial Physician Liu said that the girl's tongue was cut out, not to mention Xiao Xuan, even Huang Yu and Lu Lin and others were shocked. "Then Imperial Doctor Liu, when did she have her tongue cut out, can you tell it?"

"I can't see the specific time, but looking at the degree of wound healing, it should be at least three or four years." Doctor Liu said.

"Okay, I got it." Xiao Xuan nodded and looked at the girl with some pity. "Doctor Liu, please hide this child's affairs for me first."

"Don't worry, princess, today Weichen is just here to ask for a peace pulse for the princess once a month, and Weichen doesn't know anything else." Imperial Physician Liu got up again and arched his hand and said. "The imperial concubine will only ask if the princess is healthy, and Weichen will only answer this."

"Okay, then I've thanked Doctor Liu." Xiao Xuan was satisfied. "Lu Lin, send Imperial Doctor Liu to my mother's concubine for me."

"Yes." Lu Lin answered and walked to Imperial Doctor Liu. "Doctor Liu, please."

Lu Lin took Imperial Physician Liu and the medicine boy beside him out, the girl was still sitting on the stool, she saw that Imperial Physician Liu was gone, and everyone in the room stopped talking. She turned around with some confusion and looked at Xiao Xuan very suspiciously.

"Well, that's good." Xiao Xuan looked at her, and couldn't help but feel weak again, she reached out to touch the girl's head.

The girl obediently let Xiao Xuan touch her head, and did not avoid Xiao Xuan's hand.

Xiao Xuan looked at her, but she was seven or eight years old, but her tongue was cut off three or four years ago, and she used to be able to speak at that time, so she knew what it meant to listen to people.

Xiao Xuan originally just wanted to keep her temporarily, but now she had the idea of keeping her by her side.

"Shall I give you a name?" Xiao Xuan suddenly opened his mouth.

"Princess!"
