Chapter 33: Mortal Wounds
For the sake of his body, she volunteered to be a target. Now that he already knows her motives, but he still doesn't intend to forgive her, then there is only one way to soften his heart a little!
Situ Yue's taboo is really something that no one can touch. But if she touched it, she wanted to get out of the way, so she naturally had to sacrifice!
I hope that after tonight, he will no longer blindly blame her mistakes, otherwise, if she loses his grace, she will only be defeated!
He was angry, she let him beat! He was annoyed, she let him vent! As long as his body could get better, it would be enough!
He can't die, she still has to rely on him to avenge herself! Among all the princes, only Situ Yue can compete with Situ Chi, she can't let this help be thrown away from her, her life, the rest of her life, are all bet on him! No matter what the price is, she will cure him!
Min Qingrou took off her clothes, and her mottled scars were clearly reflected in the dressing mirror, just like her scarred heart!
Holding back the pain, she stepped gently into the tub. The scorching water vapor ran across the scars on her body, causing her to break out in a cold sweat of pain.
She gritted her teeth and persevered, picked up a soft towel, and gently wiped the bruises on her body.
After washing her body, she changed into a clean underwear, and after covering most of the scars on her body, she whispered to the door: "Coincidental, you come in!"
Yuan Qiao, who had been guarding the door, immediately pushed the door and walked in after hearing Min Qingrou's summons.
"Master, why are you sitting like this? Beware of catching a cold!"
As soon as I entered the door, I saw Min Qingrou wearing a thin undershirt sitting in front of the dressing mirror, and I quickly took a cloak from the hanger and draped it on Min Qingrou's shoulder, and said with concern.
Before Min Qingrou could say anything, Yuan Qiao, who came closer, suddenly gasped and said, "Master, you, your face...... Your body ......"
I can't go on!
Her gaze shifted from Min Qingrou's still slightly red and swollen left side of her face to her bruised neck, and then to the placket, where there seemed to be more scars hidden under her undershirt.
Yuan Qiao covered his mouth, and tears instantly filled his eyes. Suddenly, she squatted in front of Min Qingrou, held her hands, and opened her sleeves, and unexpectedly found large and small scars, those bruises and purple blood marks, spots and spots densely covered on Min Qingrou's fair skin, which was shocking!
Yuan Qiao couldn't hold back her sobs anymore: "Master, the prince, he ...... How could he do that to you?"
"It's just a small injury, it's not in the way. Min Qingrou pulled down her sleeves, covered the scars on her hands, and gently comforted Yuan Qiao.
"Master, don't talk about it, the slave will give you medicine first!"
Yuan Qiao burst into tears in distress, and hurriedly took out a bottle of ointment to reduce swelling and relieve pain from the cabinet, and carefully applied it to the bruises on Min Qingrou's neck.
"Hiss......"
When the ointment touched the skin, a tingling sensation came, making Min Qingrou inhale softly unconsciously, biting her lip flap and frowning at the same time.
Yuan Qiao hurriedly blew lightly for her, and her movements were a little softer. "Master, bear with me! It won't hurt soon!"
After speaking, his eyes turned red again, and he couldn't help but complain: "Such a big thing happened, why didn't the master tell Yuan Qiao? What the hell is going on? Didn't you say that you would explain it to the prince? Then why did this happen?"
Min Qingrou's face turned a little pale because of the pain, and she endured the discomfort of her body, and she said softly: "How can the prince's taboo be easily touched by others? Even if I have no intention of offending, I will not escape punishment! This punishment is already considered light! I only hope that the prince can dissipate his anger, and I will not suffer this crime in vain!"
"Master, slave and maid, please don't joke about the prince's taboo in the future! That is to ask for your own death! Even the princess never dares to touch the slightest, how can you get out of the way?"
In fact, when Min Qingrou told her to let the kitchen make pearl balls, she was a little skeptical. But the master didn't say it, and she didn't want to speculate, now it seems that the master really deliberately made a fuss about forbidden things, and it was really a creation to be able to survive a catastrophe!
"Yuanqiao, do you know why these taboos of the prince came?" Min Qingrou raised her hand and raised her hand, Ren Yuanqiao opened her sleeve to continue rubbing the medicine for her, and her heart began to think again.
"Master, the prince's affairs are never allowed to be discussed by others! Except for himself, only Wei Commander knows a thing or two. Others, even the princess, didn't dare to ask. No one knows why his taboo came from. It's just that it's been like this since I came in!"
Yuan Qiao replied while carefully applying medicine to Min Qingrou.
"His taboo has almost become a pathology, coincidentally, don't you really know the slightest reason?" Min Qingrou asked again without giving up.
"Master, if you really want to know, pay attention to it in the future! By the way, Rong Tai used to serve in the Pujia Palace, maybe he will know something, or will we call him over tomorrow to ask?"
Yuan Qiao seemed to suddenly remember something, paused, and then continued to medicine Min Qingrou.
"Well, that's fine. Min Qingrou nodded slightly.
"Master, why do you have to inquire into the prince's taboo? If this matter is not done well, you will get into trouble, can't you see the lesson this time clearly? No matter what the reason is after the taboo, it is all the prince's private matter! Since the prince doesn't want others to mention it, let's just not touch it?"
Seeing that Min Qingrou was so concerned about this matter, Yuan couldn't help but persuade.
"You don't understand, this taboo has too much impact on the prince, if you don't want to pull it out, I'm afraid it will become the prince's fatal wound in the future!"
Min Qingrou frowned and said.
"Is it so serious?" Yuan Qiao asked in surprise: "But after so many years, the prince has always been like this! ”
That's because the matter of the contention for the throne is still in the shadows and has not been clarified. But she knew that Situ Chi was ambitious, and sooner or later he would move the battle for the prince to the table, and at that time, any flaw could become a weapon to hit the opponent, and Situ Yue's heart disease was particularly dangerous!
"Forget it, don't talk about it, you can help me keep an eye on this matter in the future. By the way, don't tell Miaoling about my injury, I'm afraid she will worry about me again. ”
Min Qingrou sighed faintly.
"Got it, master. I'll help you lie down, toss all night, or rest for a while. ”
After taking the medicine for Min Qingrou, she helped her lie down, and then she took the tattered clothes scattered on the ground and exited the door.
When a ray of sunlight shone into the room through the window, Situ Yue, who was lying on the bed, woke up leisurely.
He exhaled a deep breath and slowly opened his eyes.
Looking at the white gauze tent above his head, he was suddenly a little stunned.
So many things happened yesterday, and he actually had a good night's sleep? At this moment, when he opened his eyes, he didn't feel weak at all, which was really different from the previous onset!
He sat up, moved his hands and feet, and found that his strength had returned, and after taking a few deep breaths, his chest was not as suffocating as usual, and he felt unbelievably refreshed.
"Lord Wang!"
Wei Chenfeng's low call came from outside the door.
"Come in!"
Situ Yue lifted the thin quilt and was just about to get out of bed, when he inadvertently caught a glimpse of the blood stains on the futon, and couldn't help but be stunned. The memories of last night came flooding back to me!
He seems to ...... Doing something that even he couldn't have imagined!
Last night, he was ridiculed by Min Qingrou, he was so angry that he lost his mind, and he actually went crazy and forcibly occupied her! But for some reason, after venting on her, he seemed to be much more relaxed. It's as if ...... It's as if the waste from the body has been removed from the body!
How so?
Just as he was in a daze, Wei Chenfeng had already brought two servants in to serve Situ Yue to freshen up and change clothes.
Situ Yue's daily life has always been in charge of Wei Chenfeng and the two little servants Xia You and Xiao Mu, except for the bed, Situ Yue never let other women get close, and the maid is no exception.
Originally, Wei Chenfeng thought that Situ Yue would be bedridden as usual, but he didn't expect to see that after entering the door, Situ Yue's face had returned to normal, and there was no trace of sickness, which really surprised him for a while. It wasn't until Situ Yue's question came that Wei Chenfeng suddenly came back to his senses.
"Uh, Lord Wang, what are you talking about?" Wei Chenfeng asked a little embarrassed.
"I ask you, when did she leave?"
Situ Yue cleaned his hands and face, threw the towel to Xia You, and then walked to the screen and stretched out his hands to wait for Xiao Mu to wait for him to change his clothes. He glanced at Wei Chenfeng at this time, with a hint of displeasure in his eyes.
What's the matter with this guy?
Wei Chenfeng's face flushed, and he hurriedly stepped forward and replied: "Back to the prince, Concubine Rou will leave less than three watches." ”
Situ Yue paused, raised his head and said, "Do you have ......?"
Although Situ Yue didn't finish speaking, Wei Chenfeng already understood what he meant, and immediately replied: "The subordinates escorted Concubine Rou Niangniang back to Poria Xuan!"
But he was a little strange, wasn't the prince angry with Concubine Rou? Why did he suddenly care about her so much?
Situ Yue nodded, and after a night of precipitation, his mind suddenly cleared up a lot. Especially the obvious improvement in his body made him feel a little strange in his heart, and he didn't have any anger towards that woman.
"Lord Wang, your body ......"
Obviously, Wei Chenfeng, who had been following him closely, also noticed the change in his physical condition.
"It's okay already!" Situ Yue saw Wei Chenfeng with a questioning face, just waved his hand, and said, "Let's go to the court first! ”
Wei Chenfeng nodded, suppressed the doubts in his heart, and followed him all the way to the palace when Situ Yue changed into court clothes.
There is nothing special about the routine court meeting. After the dispersal of the dynasty, Situ Yue was just about to return home, but he saw Fang Zheng waiting for him in the alley out of the palace gate.
Situ Yue glanced at Wei Chenfeng, Wei Chenfeng stayed at the entrance of the alley and waited, while Situ Yue entered the alley by himself.
Fang Zheng saw Situ Yue coming over, hurriedly stepped forward and bowed his hand and said, "See His Royal Highness King Qi!"
"No courtesy!" Situ Yue replied and looked at Fang Zhengdao. "What's the matter with you?"
Fang Zheng straightened up and didn't answer in a hurry, but looked up at Situ Yue a few times and said, "Your Highness has a good complexion, it seems that Bi Xing has already emerged." Your Highness, how is it going? Can you still use this 'noble star'?"
"I almost didn't get. ”
Situ Yue snorted lightly, and replied with a thick disdain in his tone.
"Huh?" Fang Zheng was slightly stunned. Can't you?
His astrological results are obviously harmonious, and the purple light of the white tiger star is slightly prosperous. This shows that Bi Yuewu is already playing a role, how is it completely different from what King Qi said?
