Chapter 27: Soberness
Finally, with God's blessing, Xu Lan lay on the bed for a full week before she could get out of bed.
"Baizhu, you go and bring in the flowers I planted in the yard, I'll see how they look, I've been so sick lately, I'm almost forgetting about it." Xu Lan leaned on the side of the bed, looked at Baizhu, and smiled faintly.
When Baizhu heard this, he responded obediently and said, "Okay, Second Miss, I'll go and move it for you." ”
Having said that, it's just that when Bai Zhu withdrew, he glanced at Bai Qi in the room, Bai Qi secretly glanced at Xu Lan, seeing that she didn't seem to notice herself, and after a while, she also sneaked out.
In fact, Xu Lan has long been in her eyes, but she is tired at the moment, and she is really in no mood to care about these two girls.
Bai Qian secretly ran out, and as soon as he went out, he saw Bai Zhu standing under the corridor and looking over here, and as soon as Bai Qi saw Bai Zhu, he hurriedly ran over.
"Say, what's the matter with you calling me out, I still have to take good care of Miss, Miss is recovering from a serious illness, and she can't leave people around for a moment." Bai Qi said.
Baizhu glared at her fiercely: "You, you're a pig's brain, haven't you seen it now?" The deepest hurt is not the body, but the heart! ”
Bai Qi heard Baizhu's words, and the second monk was indeed puzzled: "How do you say this?" The doctor said, Miss is already well, now just have a good rest, and I didn't say that Miss hurt her heart? ”
When Bai Zhu heard Bai Qi say this, he could only roll his eyes secretly, and poked Bai Qi's head with hatred: "You are really an idiot!" Miss's body is naturally healthy, I mean, Miss has been in a very bad mood lately, very unhappy, don't you see? ”
Bai Ji was poked in the head by Baizhu, and couldn't help but feel a little aggrieved, he rubbed his head aggrievedly, and said: "I naturally know this, Miss used to be giggling with you all the time, but now she can only say a few words all day, I naturally found out, but I'm not just two slaves, what can I do?" ”
Baizhu was choked when he heard Bai Qi so watery, and after a while, he said dejectedly: "Yes, what can we do, everyone knows the reason why Miss is unhappy, but I just feel unfair for Miss!" ”
Baizhu's eyes were full of fire, and he said angrily: "Yes, it is true that the Chu Wangfu is powerful in the capital, but why is the Xu Wangfu not a small family, but the prince's memory is so timid, he actually asked Miss He to apologize to the so-called vicious woman!" ”
Bai Qian could only sigh when he heard this: "This kind of thing is in our yard, let others hear it, we have to suffer another meal, how can I not feel sorry for Miss, but in this matter, the prince is Miss Miss's father, and no one can say that his father is not, so Miss can only be so depressed." ”
Baizhu didn't know this truth, but he was extremely uncomfortable when he looked at Xu Lan's lost soul in the past few days.
At this moment, the two maids had nothing to say, and the whole courtyard was quiet.
But the silence is not comfortable at all, revealing endless pressure.
"Forget it, forget it, it's useless to say this, I'll go and move flowers for Miss first, you go back quickly, take good care of this Miss." It was better for Bai Zhu to speak first, and Bai Qi also nodded and returned to the house.
Bai Qi came to the house for a while, and saw Xu Lan leaning on the side of the bed, actually falling asleep like that, Bai Qi was frightened, and hurriedly took a few steps forward, Bai Xu Lan woke up: "Miss, Miss, wake up quickly, don't dare to sleep like this, the doctor has ordered, you must not catch a cold!" ”
Xu Lan was shaken by Bai Qi, she had already woken up, and said in a loud voice: "Okay, okay, I know, you help me lie down." ”
After speaking, Xu Lan walked down with Bai Qian's support, and after lying down, Xu Lan said to Bai Qi, you are also tired, go and rest, tell Bai Zhu, just move my flowers in and put them down. ”
Bai Qi originally wanted to say something more, but when she saw Xu Lan's pale face, she all turned into a sigh and swallowed: "Okay, Miss, I will definitely tell Baizhu, Miss, you can sleep peacefully." ”
Xu Lan nodded, then obediently closed her eyes, and Bai Qi watched beside her for a while, until she was sure that Xu Lan was asleep, and then retreated.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Bai Qi stepped out of the room, Xu Lan, who had closed her eyes well, opened her eyes, and in those bright eyes, there was still half sleep.
Xu Lan didn't know anything, but she almost woke up, and when she heard Bai Shu tell him that his sister Xu Xin had gone to the Chu Palace, to apologize for her, Xu Lan had already guessed almost what happened when she was unconscious.
However, he guessed and guessed, but when he really heard Baizhu tell him that he was his father, the current Xu Wangye, and asked him to apologize to the arrogant and domineering Chu Wan, Xu Lan was still in pain.
Xu Lan originally thought that her father, although he said that he had punished himself a few days ago, it was because he had done something wrong, and his father was also thinking about himself.
Recalling that when she was in the ancestral hall, she kept making excuses for her father and always had luck, and Xu Lan knew how pathetic she was.
It turned out that her father didn't have much love for her at all, and once what she did involved her father in harm, it was nothing.
Thinking of this, Xu Lan felt that her eyes were extremely sour, and tears filled her eyes almost instantly.
Father, father, I really really think of you as a father.
However, Xu Lan was in this hazy teary-eyed landscape, and suddenly saw herself taking a day to her father's study, and her father turned his head and looked at him with disgust and disdain:
You are just a concubine, but you don't know how thick the sky is.
At that moment, Xu Lan finally felt that the blood in her whole body was empty, leaving only a dazed and ignorant body, looking at her father blankly.
It was from this moment that Xu Lan finally understood her situation. He is no longer the pampered and carefree Xu Lan he used to be.
Princess Xu was seriously ill, and Xu Wangye used her own experience to tell Xu Lan about her status, and told Xu Lan what dignity and order were and what a concubine was.
Xu Lan was lying in the quilt, quietly shedding tears, and the tears passed the bridge of her nose drop by drop and smashed into the deep pillow.
At this time, Xu Lan suddenly heard a "squeak" from her door, and someone came in.
As soon as she heard this voice, Xu Lan hurriedly wiped away the tears on her face, changed her body, and faced inward.
Don't let anyone see your vulnerability, this was Xu Lan's only thought at that time.
The person who came in directly, who could only hear, slowly walked to Xu Lan's bed, but did not speak, and after a long time, a voice suddenly sounded: "Is your young lady still sick?" ”
Xu Lan couldn't help but be surprised in his heart, he originally thought that it was boiled in vain, but he didn't expect it to be a man's voice.
Who could it be? Xu Lan couldn't help but wonder.
At this time, Xu Lan suddenly heard Baizhu's voice: "Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, my girl's health is not very good, she is still a little weak, she just fell asleep, and she can't wake up for a while, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in a hurry, I will wake up the young lady." ”
"Slow, it's not necessary, I just heard that Sister Lan is seriously ill, so I came to visit one or two, if it was because of me, Sister Lan woke up, but it was not to visit the patient, but to toss the patient."
When Xu Lan heard the prince, she continued to say in a gentle voice: "Sister Lan hasn't woken up yet, so I'll go to the front hall to see Prince Xu first." ”
Xu Lan then heard Baishu's voice again: "If this is the case, then it is naturally excellent, His Royal Highness the Prince, please come here." ”
Then there was another burst of doors opening, closing, and the sound of walking, and finally when the sound of those footsteps was getting farther and farther away, Xu Lan's room finally fell completely silent.
Prince, why did he come to King Xu's Mansion, let alone come to see me? Xu Lan thought about it in her heart, but because she had just recovered from a serious illness, she was thinking too much just now, and she even cried a lot, and gradually her sleepiness slowly came to her head, and she fell asleep after a while.
Unexpectedly, when Xu Lan slept and woke up again, it was already night.
Xu Lan opened her eyes vaguely, it was dark, there was no one in the room, but Xu Lan had slept for too long, and she had just recovered from illness, and her mouth was very thirsty.
Xu Lan shouted a few times: "Baizhu, Baizhu, where are you?" Pour me some water. But no one responded.
Xu Lan barely stood up, thinking about the two girls Baizhu and Baiji, probably doing things in the front yard, and didn't hear him call, thinking like this, Xu Lan didn't bother to toss the two of them, so she lifted the quilt and walked slowly to the ground by herself, wanting to pour water and drink by herself.
Unexpectedly, just when Xu Lan was just holding herself up, walking to the table, and about to pour water, her window was suddenly knocked open, and she saw a figure rolling in directly into the window.
As soon as the figure landed, he suddenly saw Xu Lan standing in the center of the room, and Xu Lan also raised her head in a daze and looked at the person who broke in from outside.
The person who broke in directly had handsome eyebrows and a jade tree in the wind, but that face became more familiar the more you looked.
"The Four Princes...... You...... How can you ......" Xu Lan also saw Ji Chen who took such an unusual path for the first time, and couldn't help but stutter when she spoke, her eyes were full of surprise.
And Ji Chen, the fourth prince, never expected that he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when he just met Xu Lan standing on the ground and watching him.
I saw him touch his nose and say, "I heard that you are sick, so I came to see you." ”
Unexpectedly, as soon as this sentence was spoken, the whole room was even more embarrassed.
