Chapter 44: See Xiaoping Again
After Tie Xin left, the room was very quiet for a while, Wen Yeyan looked at the person on the bed and hesitated for a long time, and finally mustered up the courage to say to Wen Yuxin; "Third brother, if you really don't plan to accept her, give her to me now, and when her injuries are healed, I will lead her away."
Of course, Wen Yuxin understood what this meant, and he looked at his younger brother with a heartache and said; "Seventh brother, do you know what you're talking about? This woman is not as simple as you think, she is too cunning, the city is too deep, I think she is better than her father. β
"I believe her, even if she is really what my brother said, I will admit it." Wen Yeyan said very firmly.
"Didn't you even do it for her? Don't forget, there are also a large number of concubines and ladies in your house, are you willing to do it? Wen Yuxin asked in disbelief.
"Fighting with them every day, if this prince doesn't do it, those women? It's not the same as my brother, which one of them we married if we liked? Wouldn't my brother also prefer to go to Hualou to have fun than face those women of yours? As a prince, you can't even marry a woman you like, isn't this a kind of sadness, haven't you always been worried about the matter of Ziling? The more Wen Yeyan spoke, the more excited he became.
"Say no more." Wen Yuxin reprimanded loudly, that purple spirit was an eternal pain in his heart.
"Don't worry about this yet, if my brother doesn't plan to drug her, I'll come." Wen Yeyan said and reached for the medicine bottle next to the bed.
Unexpectedly, when Wen Yuxin saw him stretching out his hand, he actually grabbed the medicine bottle in front of him and held it in his hand, the expression on his face was very unnatural, and he said with some stumbling; "The seventh brother's own body is not happy, where can I take care of her, go back and rest early."
Wen Yeyan withdrew his empty hand in frustration and looked at his brother opposite suspiciously.
"Oh, don't worry, I won't throw the medicine away." Wen Yuxin's explanation of the weakness of his heart. He really didn't understand what was wrong with him, he would suddenly grab the medicine bottle!
"Then I'll go back first." Wen Yeyan said and glanced at the person on the bed, and walked out depressedly. That woman who is an older brother after all, what can he say?
After Wen Yuxin saw his younger brother go out and close the door, he lowered his head and looked at the medicine bottle in his hand, and smiled helplessly, why did he grab this medicine bottle? Why was he so nervous when he heard his brother say that he was going to give her medicine? Are you "jealous"? As soon as these two words popped out of his mind, he immediately startled himself, and shook his head desperately, that is impossible, absolutely impossible, leaving aside her identity, what he said, except for Zi Ling, he will not like any woman anymore, although she is already separated from himself by yin and yang.
He decided not to think about it for now, and sat on the edge of the bed, intending to help her with the medicine, he grabbed the hem of her dress and tried to lift it up, "Ah, it hurts." Jiang Xinyi said dreamily.
Wen Yuxin frowned, took out a dagger from her boots, slowly cut her torn clothes, and slowly peeled off the cloth sticking to the wound.
When the whole flesh and blood blurred back was presented in front of him, his heart trembled inexplicably, this back, the night before was as smooth as jade, when he helped her cut the bandage that bound her chest, his fingers touched, at that time he still had a reaction, to the hard suppression, after she fell asleep, he snuggled against him, he would follow her, so when it was almost dawn, he had pressed sideways on the edge of the bed, but he was beaten like this only one day later.
Alas, let's give her medicine, thinking of my brother's worried eyes, I feel depressed. He didn't want to think about it anymore, opened the cap of the bottle and sprinkled the powder evenly on the wound, and after it was all done, he pulled the quilt and carefully helped her cover it, picked up her hand on the edge of the bed, he smiled bitterly again and slowly put the hand that grabbed him facelessly into the quilt.
What kind of woman is this? She is the only one in the world who dares to talk back to him, sarcastically saying that his intimacy with Concubine Lian is not as good as the dog on the street, biting him and scratching him in a frenzy, it can be seen that she also hated him at that time, just as he hated her, did she really promise the seventh brother when she got better? Let her go with him?
Wen Yuxin walked to the house in a disturbed mood, closed the door, and saw that the two chickens in the corner of the wall were still digging the soil on the ground as always, and at the foot of the courtyard wall, there were some small pits of different sizes everywhere, he remembered that she also named the two chickens, and he forgot what they were called.
When the sun set, Jiang Xinyi woke up, there was a cry beside her, she slowly opened her eyes, the white lady embroidered with silk thread on the bed curtain, and Xu Xian holding an umbrella fell into her eyes, that was Xiaoping listened to the story she told, embroidered on a whim, so it was in her bed at this time? I didn't feel any pain in my back, but the smell of medicine in my shoulder blades was very smoky, similar to modern musk tiger bone plaster.
She slowly turned her head in a direction and met a girl wiping her tears; "Ping'er?" She blurted out.
"Master, you're awake, but you're scared to death." Xiaoping stopped crying and said.
"Why are you here? Hurry back, the province will be seen by him and will affect you. Jiang Xinyi said worriedly.
"It's okay, it was the prince who asked me to take care of you, by the way, I'll go to serve porridge, it's been stewed for a long time, Steward Ji said that you have to eat as soon as you wake up, but you just don't wake up." Before Xiaoping finished speaking, the person had already run out of the door.
"Hmph, fake mercy, pretend to be a good person." Jiang Xinyi muttered and rested her chin on the pillow.
"Master, I'll feed you." Xiaoping walked to the bed with a bowl of porridge.
"No, put it here, I'll eat it myself." Jiang Xinyi pulled the pillow away and motioned for Xiaoping to put the porridge there.
Xiaoping didn't earn with her, carefully put the porridge in front of Jiang Xinyi, and handed her a spoon.
"Wow, it's so fragrant, what kind of meat is in it? How does it look like chicken? Jiang Xinyi took the spoon with the hand that didn't hurt, slowly stirred it in the bowl and asked.
"The master is so powerful, I know it's chicken before I eat it." Xiaoping clapped her hands and said with admiration.
"Wait, you made it clear to me, you won't kill those two chickens in our yard, will you? Is it Brother Jin, or Xiaohua? Jiang Xinyi asked Xiaoping nervously.
"What, master, you can eat with confidence, it's not Brother Jin, it's not Xiaohua, it's Steward Ji who asked someone to send it, if you don't believe it, I'll go and catch Brother Jin and Xiaohua for you to see?"
Seeing Xiaoping say this, Jiang Xinyi was relieved, and hurriedly waved her hand and said; "No need, I'm just worried that you will kill them both for me, Xiaoping, is there any porridge left?"
"Yes, there are many more." Xiaoping hurriedly said.
"Then you can also go and serve the bowl and eat with me." Jiang Xinyi said to Xiaoping.
Xiaoping hurriedly shook her head and said; "Master, Xiaoping is in good health, this is specially for you to replenish your body."
"I don't eat it by myself, if you don't accompany me, I won't eat it." Jiang Xinyi put the spoon into the bowl.
"Don't mind, master, Ping'er will go and bring it." Xiaoping was frightened and quickly ran out.
Jiang Xinyi threatened Xiaoping, saying that if she ate a few bowls, she would eat a few bowls herself, so Xiaoping ate hard.
"Master, are you still in pain?" After putting away the dishes and chopsticks, Xiaoping asked distressedly.
"It doesn't hurt anymore, it's good to be hurt." Jiang Xinyi said with a grin.
Xiaoping asked with puzzled eyes and wide eyes; "Master, are you alright? How can you say that it is good to be injured? β
"As soon as I'm injured, I'll be able to be with Ping'er." Jiang Xinyi said.
Yes, it was because of the injury last time that Wen Yuxin sent Xiaoping over, and this time it was the same.
"Then I'd rather stay in the front yard and not meet my master." Xiaoping suddenly said with red eyes. Today, Ji Hai went to the miscellaneous courtyard and asked her to take care of the princess, she wanted to jump happily, but she didn't expect that as soon as she arrived in the house, she saw the miserable state of the master on the bed, before Jiang Xinyi woke up, she had cried several times, and she really wanted to ask the prince if she wanted to die, who injured the master like this, after knowing it, even if she fought for her life, she had to give the master out of anger, even if she bit the person a few times, Xiaoping didn't know that the master had already avenged himself.
Jiang Xinyi heard Xiaoping say this, her nose was sore, and tears came out, she didn't want to be seen by Xiaoping, so she quickly twisted her head into the bed, after crossing over, the father here doesn't care about her, and marrying a prince is even more excessive, but this girl has a deep affection for her, but what will she do if she leaves the palace in the future? Will you stay here forever and be a subordinate? She has always regarded her as a sister, and she must not let such a thing happen, otherwise even if she is chic outside, there will be a pimple in her heart, it seems that she has to use her brains to think about whether there is a good way to get the best of both worlds.
"Master, Ping'er will help you wash your hair, you can't wash it in the bath, you can only wipe your body." Xiaoping took the hot water and stood beside the bed and said to Jiang Xinyi.
"Well, then it's troublesome for Ping'er." Jiang Xinyi said, slowly adjusted her body, and poked her head out of the bed. Let Xiaoping carefully wash her hair.
"Master, Ping'er is not by your side, are you afraid of living here alone?" Xiaoping asked.
"Afraid of what? I'm afraid that your master will have no money. Jiang Xinyi felt that Xiaoping's question was really strange.
"Haven't you heard? Our palace is haunted. Xiaoping said in a soft voice, as if she was afraid of being heard by the ghost.
"What are you kidding? How did I not know? Jiang Xinyi asked with a smile.
"Really, a few days ago, Dong Wu, who was playing with flowers and plants in the house, met him, he was frightened crazy, and he didn't get better after seeing the doctor, and the concubine Lian and a few ladies in front of him, when they slept at night, the candles were lit until dawn." Xiaoping told Jiang Xinyi very seriously.
"Is there such an evil sect? He must have done something wrong, right? Jiang Xinyi asked disapprerovingly.
"I don't know." Xiaoping said, carefully wiping Jiang Xinyi's hair, and the corner of her eye was aimed at the wound on her back, and there was a pain in her heart.
It was completely dark, Xiaoping went out to turn off the chicken after lighting the candle, Jiang Xinyi wiped her whole body with hot water, so she felt very comfortable lying on the bed, Xiaohuai's matter was wronged, but it seems difficult to find out the truth of the matter, the prince has not found out, what can she do? It's not Sherlock Holmes, no matter what, it's good that you have a good feeling in your heart anyway, you can't be careless anymore, hurry up and heal your injuries and find a proper opportunity to get out of hereγγγ
