Chapter 345
At this moment, Xuanyuan Jingxi on the bed suddenly murmured: "Xi'er ......"
Gu Ruoxi's heart skipped a beat when she heard this, but Zhang Yan had already turned around quickly, looked at Xuanyuan Jingxi on the bed and said excitedly: "Lord Wang, are you awake?" β
"Xi'er......" Xuanyuan Jingxi muttered again, but his eyes did not open.
Zhang Yan stood there, the expression on her face becoming ugly inch by inch.
Creek, creek. If he hadn't been thinking about someone in his heart, how could he have kept calling her name even if he was unconscious?
It's just that who is this woman?
The first name in Zhang Yan's heart was Gu Ruoxi, the second lady of the Gu family, but immediately, she quickly dispelled this idea, impossible, Gu Ruoxi has been married to Prince Min by the Queen Mother, how can the prince like her? This woman named Xi'er must have someone else......
One of her hearts was suddenly messy.
I thought that by taking care of the condition, I could deepen the relationship between the two people, but Zhang Yan didn't expect that she heard Xuanyuan Jingxi calling another person's name in her sleep, and this voice was low as if it was a call with deep longing, like a slap on his face.
After a long time, Xuanyuan Jingxi's call gradually subsided. In the end, quietly.
There was a mountain wind blowing, lifting the curtain, and a gust of cold wind blew on everyone's face, Mama Qiu looked at her master with worry, for fear that she would do something inappropriate, just now Mo Yun's words not only reminded Zhang Yan, but also reminded her.
If you have to fight for that breath, but the reputation of your own master will be ruined, is this what you should do as a slave? Thankfully, Mademoiselle didn't listen to her. Otherwise, Madame will never let her go when she goes back!
Mama Qiu thought clearly and understood, so she didn't dare to speak anymore.
After a long time, Zhang Yan turned around, glanced at Mama Qiu and said, "You ordered people to go down the mountain quickly, and you must send someone to fetch the tent and the necessities of life before the unitary time, and the speed must be fast!" You know what! β
Now there are only three hours until the unitary time. He has acres of liver and blood.
Mama Qiu suddenly trembled, three hours, how can this be? I'm afraid it will take two hours to go down from the mountain, and the young lady said that it will take three hours to deliver things, is this a joke?
However, Mama Qiu looked at Zhang Yan's rare solemn expression, and didn't dare to say a superfluous word.
"Yes, miss. The slave and maid then commanded the men to do it. β
Zhang Yan waved her hand and ordered Mama Qiu to retreat.
She turned around, glanced at Mo Yun, and said slowly: "Mo Yun, are you satisfied with this leaf row now?" β
"I hope the people around Miss can be faster. Also, if you want to set up a tent, it's better to stay away from here! Mo Yun said in a deep voice: "Don't disturb our prince's rest." β
When Zhang Yan heard this, she didn't refute, but nodded
"Okay, everything is important for the prince to recuperate. β
Seeing her like this, Mo Yun didn't feel embarrassed anymore, only nodded and said, "The slave has nothing to say, Miss Zhang, please do it." With that, he turned around and went out, a room of women, he was too depressed to stay.
Zhang Yan smiled slightly, turned her head to look at Xuanyuan Jingxi on the bed, turned her head to Gu Ruoxi and Ziyi who were guarding the stove together, and said, "Have you boiled the medicine well?" β
Hearing this, Ziyi hurriedly responded: "It would be good to boil half a cup of tea, this is what Imperial Doctor Xu just ordered." β
Zhang Yan stopped talking for a while, she turned around, sat down on the edge of the bed, and stared intently at Xuanyuan Jingxi on the bed.
From beginning to end, she didn't look at Gu Ruoxi.
Gu Ruoxi is also self-aware, she knows that the rumors outside that she is the most favored maid around Xuanyuan Jingxi are already boiling, and even the rumors that she is Xuanyuan Jingxi's room, this Miss Zhang is a genuine princess recognized by the royal family, and it is strange that she will look at herself pleasing to the eye.
It's just that, whether in front of or after people, Zhang Yan has never shown obvious hostility towards Gu Ruoxi, on the contrary, her attitude is still very kind, but the people around her have shown more or less hostility......
Gu Ruoxi is not a fool, she understands that this Zhang Yan actually hates her very much in her heart, that day at the venue, Zhang Yan showed deep concern for her in front of so many people, and won herself the reputation of virtuous and virtuous, but in fact, who was she plotted against?
This is unknown, but Gu Ruoxi guessed that it was either Zhang Yan or Wang Yanfei, but Wang Yanfei did not have such a deep mind, and Zhang Yan did a relatively large part of this matter.
Several people had different thoughts, and each found a comfortable corner in the tent to stay.
After half a ring, Gu Ruoxi got up, took down the medicine fried on the stove, poured it into a jade bowl, and left it to dry for a while, estimating that it was not very hot, and then walked to the side of the bed and stood a foot away.
"Miss Zhang, the medicine is cured."
Hearing this, Zhang Yan turned her head to look at Gu Ruoxi, and said slowly: "Come closer, what are you doing so far away?" As he spoke, he stretched out his hand, which was slender and white, with slender fingers, and looked very good.
Gu Ruoxi was stunned for a moment, hurriedly stepped forward, bent down and handed the tray in her hand to Zhang Yan, because the distance was very close, she suddenly saw a little red in Zhang Yan's high collar.
That was caused by the prince pinching her at the door of the tent that day, right? Gu Ruoxi thought to herself, she hurriedly lowered her head, and didn't dare to take another look.
At this moment, Zhang Yan suddenly spoke: "Blue clothes, this is what the prince has to say, for the sake of conservatism, how about you taste the medicine for the prince first?" β
As soon as Gu Ruoxi looked up, he saw Zhang Yan's fingers holding the jade bowl on the edge of the bowl, and the nails like onion pipes were painted with bright red dankom, and lo and behold
It was extremely beautiful, but Gu Ruoxi was terrified.
For such a long nail, if there is medicinal powder hidden in it......
Gu Ruoxi was surprised in her heart, but said respectfully on her face: "Miss Zhang, if you want to see if there is a problem with the medicine, the slave maid should invite Imperial Doctor Xu here!" She didn't reach for the bowl of medicine.
Zhang Yan suddenly sneered: "No need, you are here, what are you afraid of?" You hurry up, the prince's condition can't be delayed. As he spoke, he handed the medicine bowl in front of Gu Ruoxi.
Gu Ruoxi sighed. was about to pick it up, but at this moment, a hand suddenly stretched out from the side, took the medicine bowl, and said coldly: "It's better for the slave to taste the medicine!" This kind of work has always been done by slaves and maids. β
As soon as Gu Ruoxi turned around, she saw that Ziyi had already stood by her side at some point, picked up the bowl of medicine, handed it to her mouth and took a sip.
Even if Zhang Yan wanted to stop it, it was too late.
She looked at the two of them with a faint gaze, and suddenly smiled: "One of you is the person who was rewarded by the Queen Mother to the prince, and the other is just a poor woman, I didn't expect the relationship to be so good, it was really unexpected by me." β
Miss Zhang laughed, we are all servant girls who serve the prince. Everything is in the interests of the prince, and there is no time for intrigue. Ziyi returned the medicine bowl to the tray and said, "Miss Zhang, look, you are here to feed the medicine?" Or is it a slave or a slave? It stands to reason that this kind of thing should be done by slaves and maids, but ......"
Before she finished speaking, Zhang Yan interrupted: "I'll feed it!" As he spoke, he put one end of the medicine bowl on the tray. turned around and fed Xuanyuan Jingxi medicine, but I don't know if she was careless or what, with a soft hand, all those decoctions were sprinkled on Gu Ruoxi on the side.
"Blue Coat, how are you?" When Ziyi saw this scene, she was immediately startled.
Gu Ruoxi has actually been paying attention to Zhang Yan all the time, and she is also guarding against her, when the decoction has not spilled on her, she has already deftly flashed to the side, but she didn't dare to do it too obviously, so many of those decoctions were still spilled on her body, but in fact, more of them were spilled on the ground.
"Ziyi, let's go, I'll take you to change your clothes!" Ziyi hurriedly spoke.
That's a hot potion! If you spill it on your body, it will hurt! This time. She was only worried about Gu Ruoxi, and she didn't have time to think about whether Zhang Yan was intentional or not.
Gu Ruoxi didn't expect that those were Xuanyuan Jingxi's life-saving medicines, and Zhang Yan dared to use them against her, wasn't she afraid that the medicine would be spilled, Xuanyuan Jingxi had no medicinal use?
Soon, she knew Zhang Yan's intentions.
Seeing that she was injured, Zhang Yan first blamed herself in a panic, and then said: "The medicine is spilled, and the prince has no medicine to drink." What can I do? As he spoke, a pair of eyes asking for help stared at Gu Ruoxi for a moment.
Gu Ruoxi secretly scolded in her heart
, this Zhang Yan spilled the medicine because she wanted her to go to the mountains to find the medicine again!
This time, it's not as simple as encountering a poisonous snake.
Gu Ruoxi was also worried, what should I do? Is she really going to go into the mountains again? Thinking of the danger she would encounter, she hesitated for a moment, but Xuanyuan Jingxi couldn't be without medicinal use!
Just when Gu Ruoxi was in a dilemma, Imperial Doctor Xu suddenly came in from outside and said, "Miss Zhang, the guards sent down the mountain by the prince outside have brought the herbs!" β
Gu Ruoxi's eyes suddenly lit up.
That's great! If the herbs are fetched, then she doesn't have to go up the mountain to look for them.
At this moment, Gu Ruoxi clearly saw the disappointment and regret on Zhang Yan's face that he didn't have time to retract. Her heart suddenly moved.
"Girl in blue, what's wrong with you......" Imperial Doctor Xu came in. Seeing Gu Ruoxi like this, he was taken aback.
Zhang Yan hurriedly said: "I accidentally spilled it on the prince when I fed her medicine, I'm sorry ......" The look of regret and self-blame on her face, and the tears that were about to fall on her face, made everyone unbearable to blame her.
Imperial Doctor Xu was immediately relieved, he turned his head to Gu Ruoxi and said, "Girl in blue, hurry up and change your clothes, the old man will let someone decoct a pair of medicine for you." β
"No need, Imperial Doctor Xu." Gu Ruoxi shook his head and said: "I have ointment on my body, and I can take the medicine myself, you better hurry up and let Mo Yun fry another pair of medicine for the prince!" β
"Good, good!" Imperial Physician Xu nodded again and again, admiring Gu Ruoxi in his heart, a maid who can never forget her master when she is injured, her loyalty can be demonstrated!
Zhang Yan on the side, her eyes flashed.
Ziyi hurriedly retreated with Gu Ruoxi in his arms, and the two of them walked to the door, just when they met Mo Yun, Ziyi gave him a look, and said in a barely visible voice: "You go and boil medicine for the prince, don't fake the hands of others." β
Mo Yun nodded, immediately walked in, took the prescription prescribed by Imperial Doctor Xu, handed it out to the guards to grab the medicine, he cleaned the medicine jar again, and then added firewood, just waiting for the medicine to grasp it, and then began to decoction the medicine.
The prince's medicine was spilled, and Zhang Yan was all to blame!
Mo Yun was angry in his heart, and he didn't look at Zhang Yan.
Zhang Yan sat there with some embarrassment on her face, but remembering that Gu Ruoxi had just been spilled by the medicine and was drenched and embarrassed, her heart was filled with a hint of pride.
Either way, she didn't come for nothing today.
In the other tent, Ziyi was guarding the door of the tent, while Gu Ruoxi was changing clothes and taking medicine inside.
There are maids and wives under Zhang Yan's hands who frequently stretched out their heads to look this way, and all of them showed disdain on their faces, but none of them dared to approach this side.
Ziyi stood at the door of the tent with a cold and ruthless face, and he was really angry and hateful in his heart.
This Zhang Yan,
I didn't expect to use even the bottom-end means of pouring medicine, which is really annoying! Even if you compete for favor, you have to have a degree, I didn't see that after Lan Yi was busy for the prince, she almost lost her life when she went into the mountains to collect medicine, and she was still here to make those unsightly means, this person is really not worthy of being the prince's fiancΓ©e!
This is the real thought in Ziyi's heart.
I don't know why, she remembered the blue clothes, this girl is always indifferent to the prince's show of love, and she is not particularly eye-catching, and she loves to talk back to the prince if she has nothing to do, but as soon as the prince has an accident, she did her best to save the prince, which is really impressive.
It is not in vain that the prince has a deep affection for her.
Ziyi thought, but laughed silently.
In the house, Gu Ruoxi took off the clothes that were spilled by the decoction, and didn't bother to look at the burns on her body, but hurried to find a clean dress to put on, until she saw that her whole body was neatly cared for, she opened her sleeves to see the burns on her right arm.
I saw that the white and tender skin had turned red, even though Gu Ruoxi had dried the medicine for a while before serving it, it was still not light. But fortunately, she turned sideways in time, and the decoction did not spill on her chest, only a few drops splashed on the placket.
Gu Ruoxi couldn't help but smile bitterly, why was her arm injured every time? It was before and it is now.
She quickly drugged herself and walked out.
Ziyi was guarding outside the door, and when she saw her come out, she breathed a sigh of relief, and asked in a low voice, "Is the injury serious?" β
Gu Ruoxi shook his head and said, "It's just a small injury, you don't have to take it to heart." β
"No, I don't know your character? Even if something happens, you will hold on. Ziyi shook his head and said, "There are many people outside now, and I will personally give you medicine in the evening." β
Gu Ruoxi heard the concern in her words, and immediately smiled and said, "Okay." β
While talking, the two of them walked to the main tent together, and when they walked to the door, the mothers-in-law who were guarding outside immediately stepped forward and said: "Two girls, the prince has now drunk the medicine and rested, it would be good to have our young lady in it to take care of it, if there are too many people, it will make noise to the prince, so please let the two of you guard outside!" β
"Presumptuous!" Ziyi immediately became angry: "We are the people next to the prince, can't we go in and serve him?" What are you kidding! β
"Girl in purple, this is my young lady's order, and please give some face." Mama Qiu stepped forward and said.
Ziyi didn't eat her at all, and said coldly: "If I stay outside today and don't go in, won't I be charged with leaving my post without permission?" Get out of the way! As he spoke, he still strode forward.
Mama Qiu wanted to stop it, but was pushed aside by Ziyi, Gu Ruoxi couldn't help admiring it, this Ziyi is really guts!
But before she could finish sighing, Mama Qiu reluctantly pounced again: "Girl in purple, if you insist on going in, then the slave can't stop you, so I have to let you in, but there are not so many people inside, so the girl in blue will stay outside!" Saying that, Mama Qiu seemed to be afraid that Gu Ruoxi would also learn the same, so she gave her a hard break, and immediately reached out to pull Gu Ruoxi.
Purple clothes "Smack!" A palm slapped on Mama Qiu's hand, and the voice was extremely loud, but Ziyi's voice was even louder: "Don't move your hands and feet!" This is the rule of your Prime Minister's Mansion? It's so presumptuous when you go to someone else's territory! Who gave you the guts! β
Mama Qiu's palms hurt from being beaten, and she couldn't react when she stood there for a long time, and Ziyi didn't bother to pay attention to her, so she took the opportunity to pull Gu Ruoxi and pulled her into the tent in a hurry.
Mama Qiu's face suddenly became ugly.
But Ziyi ignored her! She pulled Gu Ruoxi into the tent, glanced at Mo Yun first, and saw that he was still concentrating on boiling medicine there, so she breathed a sigh of relief, and went over with Gu Ruoxi to greet Zhang Yan: "See Miss Zhang." β
"That's it, no need to be polite." Zhang Yan smiled lightly and said.
Only then did the two men stand up.
Zhang Yan glanced at them, focused on Gu Ruoxi, and said softly: "The girl in blue, I just slipped my hand and spilled the decoction on you, I'm really sorry." β
"It's the slave's fault, the slave should stand farther away." Gu Ruoxi said lightly.
Zhang Yan smiled lightly and didn't say anything more.
At this moment, Mo Yun came over with a bowl of medicine, and without waiting for Zhang Yan to speak, he said bluntly: "Miss Zhang, you just slipped your hand, which not only burned the girl in blue, but also delayed the time for our prince to drink the medicine, now, in order to avoid the same ending of this bowl of medicine in my hand, please get out of the way and let the girl in purple feed the prince to drink the medicine!" β
This is very straightforward.
