Chapter 90: Seizures
Xiao Lu returned to her hall and saw what she was smashing, and after a while, her dormitory was already in a mess.
The palace maids who served her, including the most useful parrots and mandarin ducks around her, only dared to stay outside the palace gate, and no one dared to be the first to go in and touch the mold.
Xiao Lu stood alone in the mess, her hands trembling uncontrollably.
"Princess." The mandarin duck's eyes were sharp, and he saw that Xiao Lu's right hand was faintly stained with blood, so he had to walk into the hall with a hard head. "Your hand hurts, let the slave take care of it for you."
"Oh, really?" Xiao Lu, who was facing away from the mandarin duck, raised her hand to take a look, and sure enough, she didn't know that something had cut a narrow cut on the palm of her right hand, and blood was still spilling out of the wound at this time.
Xiao Lu lowered his hand and stood in place and looked around. When the mandarin duck saw her like this, she knew that the fire in her heart had probably just been vented, so she stepped forward with confidence, packed up a clean chair, and helped Xiao Lu sit down.
The mandarin duck hurriedly turned around and glanced at the parrot outside the door, and the parrot brother quickly asked the little palace maids under him to prepare water and wound medicine.
After cleaning the wound, the mandarin duck saw Xiao Lu's wound clearly, but fortunately, although the wound looked terrifying, it was actually not very serious.
"Princess, the slave is going to give you medicine." The mandarin duck glanced up at Xiao Lu, her eyes were vacant and she didn't know where to look.
The mandarin duck had to speed up her movements, she took the medicine bottle handed by the parrot brother, and sprinkled a layer evenly on the wound.
Brother Parrot hurriedly followed the mandarin duck's movements, and then bandaged Xiao Lu's wound.
The mandarin duck helped Xiao Lu get up and go to the bed to rest, while Brother Parrot took someone to clean up the things on the ground.
The venting just now was like overdrawing Xiao Lu's essence, from treating the wound to the mandarin duck helping her into the inner room, serving her to change clothes and freshen up, Xiao Lu never said a word.
"Princess, rest well." The mandarin duck waited for Xiao Lu to lie down. "Tonight is the night of the slave and maid, and the slave and maid are guarding outside, and the princess has something to call me."
Xiao Lu didn't respond to the mandarin duck with her eyes open for a long time, so the mandarin duck had to get up, and after putting down the curtain next to Xiao Lu's bed, she was about to turn around and go out.
"Mandarin ducks." The mandarin ducks were about to go outside, and Xiao Lu suddenly shouted to stop her. "Sit on the edge of the bed and talk to me."
Mandarin duck was inevitably a little stunned when she heard Xiao Lu's words, saying that she was given by the queen to serve Xiao Lu for a few years, but Brother Parrot followed Xiao Lu to serve when she was a child. But Xiao Lu has a strange temperament, not to mention the palace maid who has been around for many years, even to her mother, Concubine Chen, who is not very familiar with her daily life.
Besides, she also went to Xiao Lu's side to serve for a while, and only later did she know that Xiao Lu would lose control like this from time to time, either hurting the palace maids around her or accidentally hurting herself, so Xiao Lu's side would always have good injury medicine.
Mandarin duck has seen Xiao Lu's irritable and out of control several times, Xiao Lu's appearance today is really abnormal, she was worried for a while, but the master spoke, she had to obediently step forward and sit down on the foot pedal in front of Xiao Lu's bed.
"I've heard that you have quite a few siblings in your family, right?" Through a layer of gauze tent, the mandarin duck couldn't see Xiao Lu's face clearly, and only heard her speak.
"Back to the princess, in addition to the slave maid, there is an elder brother and a sister at the top of the slave maid, and there are two younger sisters at the bottom." Mandarin duck didn't know why, but still obediently answered Xiao Lu's question.
"Are you the only one in the palace?"
"When the slave maid was young, she came to the palace with her sister, who originally served in Zhaoyang Palace. When he was twenty-five years old, he received the grace of the queen and was rewarded to leave the palace and get married. "It is said that the person who married after the mandarin duck's sister left the palace is still a small steward of the Zhenguo Mansion, and the family is quite wealthy. When Sister Mandarin Duck was in the palace, she had some face in front of the queen, and even if she was just a palace maid, such a background could make her husband's family hold her. "The family is much richer now, so my sisters are at home and have not entered the palace again."
"Is there any difference in your parents' attitude towards you and your two younger sisters?"
"The younger sisters are younger than the slaves and maids, and the slaves and maids all entered the palace when they were born." The mandarin duck thought and said. "My brother is away from home all the year round, only my sisters are under my knees in front of my parents, and the slaves and maids and my sisters are in the palace to serve the masters, and it is rare for them to return home once a year, so my father and mother will naturally hurt my sisters more."
"Then will you and your sister be sad?"
"Huh?" The mandarin duck couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then said. "At first, the slave was also a little dissatisfied. But gradually, I got used to it. ”
"But why can't I adapt to it?" Xiao Lu opened her eyes and looked at the auspicious clouds and white cranes on the top of the bed, and a trace of indignation and unwillingness flashed in her eyes. "I grew up under my father's knees like her, why can't my father always be as good to me as she is? Is it just because I don't have her good luck and didn't give birth to the belly of the graceful Concubine Liuhuang? ”
Mandarin duck knew who Xiao Lu was referring to, so naturally he didn't dare to talk to him.
"Beating the little father is to carry her around, I heard that even the eldest brother who is the most important to the father and emperor has never had such treatment when he was born." Xiao Lu didn't care at all that the mandarin duck sitting outside the gauze tent didn't answer her words, but spoke to herself. "She not only has her brother-in-law, but also her favored mother, and her grandmother, the eldest princess of eternal life. What do I have, a mother concubine who can only survive in the palace with the blessing of the queen mother and a declining grandfather's family. ”
Xiao Lu's eyes slowly blurred.
"Since I was a child, I have eaten, dressed, and used well, and everything is not as good as her, and I admit it." Xiao Lu subconsciously raised her hand and touched her face, her hands full of tears. "I was happy with a person back then, and no matter how much I begged my father, he was unwilling to fulfill me. But when Xiao Xuan reached such an age, her father actually allowed her to find the person she liked by herself. She only took Lu Lin out of the palace alone, it must be to have a private meeting and meeting with someone. But the father and her mother actually hid this matter tightly, for fear that if the matter leaked a little, it would ruin Princess Zhaoyue's reputation. ”
When the mandarin duck heard this, his heart was even more shocked.
Before being sent by the queen to Yuxiu Palace to serve Xiao Lu, her sister, who had not yet left the palace to marry, was worried about her, and pulled her aside to instruct. The queen gave her to go to Xiao Lu's side with her own plans, but as slaves, they were powerless to resist and could only obey their fate.
My sister can only tell her over and over again to be careful in everything after the past, and to be smart and adaptable in case of trouble, and to protect herself.
Xiao Lu's emotions when she spoke at this time inevitably reminded Mandarin Duck of the old lady of Ding'an Hou who passed away a few years ago.
The old lady of Ding'an Hou is still Xiao Lu's maternal grandmother, and Xiao Lu can still collude with the prince of Ding'an Hou to poison her when she goes crazy.
If Mandarin Duck just didn't dare to answer just now, now she just can't speak at all.
At this time, Xiao Lu, who was originally lying flat on the bed in the gauze tent, suddenly lifted the quilt and sat up, and opened the gauze tent by herself.
The mandarin duck heard the movement and looked at Xiao Lu.
Xiao Lu, who was sitting on the bed, still had tears on her face, but there was a treacherous smile on her lips.
The half of the mandarin duck's body close to the bed couldn't help but feel cold, and she fell off her head with a crooked body.
"The princess forgives her sins." The mandarin duck got up from the ground, didn't dare to look up at Xiao Lu again, and knelt on the ground with his head on the ground and said.
"Forgiveness? What sins do you forgive? Xiao Lu's appearance is actually not bad, she is also the best age at this time, even if there is no makeup on her face, she is still young and beautiful. She leaned over slightly and said with a smile at the mandarin duck. "Although you didn't come to me for as long as Brother Parrot, you served me very dedicatedly, what a crime?"
"Slave .... It is a sin for a slave to lose her manners in front of the princess. The mandarin duck said tremblingly.
The bottle of three breaths that the queen passed to Xiao Lu through her own hands was actually only half used on the old lady of Ding'anhou. Given half a bottle of Anhou Shizi, it was still packed by Mandarin Duck himself.
The remaining half bottle is still lying in the dark compartment on Xiao Lu's makeup table, thinking of this, the mandarin duck is even more frightened.
"Don't worry, the remaining half bottle of Sanxia is still useful for me, and it won't be used on you, let alone on my sister." Xiao Lu is actually not as stupid as outsiders think, she knows that Xiao Xuan can't move.
Let's not mention that Yihua Palace is managed by Emperor Liu, Concubine Liu and Xiao Xuan generally only eat things made in the small kitchen of Yihua Palace.
All palaces wanted to place people to enter the Yihua Palace, but no one, including the queen, had succeeded.
Only the four female flag guards given by Emperor Chu successfully entered the Yihua Palace, and it is not that no one has ever thought about the four female flag guards. It's just that the female flag guard was born in the pennant guard, and her family and relatives have already been placed in the best place, and they can't be bought at all.
Xiao Xuan is also Emperor Chu's heart, if he really attacks her, as long as Emperor Chu finds out the truth, he will definitely let her pay for it with his life.
Xiao Lu hated Xiao Xuan, but she was not ready to take her own life in order to get rid of Xiao Xuan.
"Since my father has already covered up the matter of leaving the palace for her, it is useless for me to hold on to this matter anymore." Xiao Lu raised his hand and pressed it on the top of the mandarin duck's head, and the mandarin duck was so frightened that he didn't even dare to tremble. "I told Brother Parrot to keep an eye on the things in the palace, and I bothered you to inquire about the things outside the palace for me, okay?"
"Good.... Good..... Slave..... The slave must do everything in her power for the princess. The mandarin duck immediately agreed, for fear that he would answer late and displease Xiao Lu.
"Okay, it's good that you have this heart." Xiao Lu said with a smile. "Send someone to reply to my mother, saying that I accidentally cut my hand just now, and I'm afraid I won't be able to get a needle for a few days."
"Yes, the slave will send someone to pass the word to Concubine Chen immediately."
"Well, I'm going to sleep." Xiao Lu said. "You go out and watch the night."
"The slave obeys." When the mandarin duck heard Xiao Lu's words, he crawled out as if he had heard of amnesty.
