Shu Shu's face looked ugly.
She didn't ask who had done it.
Who in the Forbidden City dares to attack the prince's brother?
You can guess the answer without even thinking.
Shu Shu didn't say anything, but went out, called Xiaosong to get the medicinal wine, and then ordered Walnut to go to the dining room to get ice cubes and soju.
It's cold now, so there are some homemade ice cubes in the dining room.
After a while, ice cubes and soju were brought.
After bringing all the things, Shu Shu's mind will be clearer.
Whether it's medicinal wine or soju, I won't use it for the time being.
Shu Shu wrapped a towel around the ice and placed it on Brother Jiu's injured area.
Brother Jiu laid down as ordered, and was shocked by the ice. He asked curiously: "Shouldn't it be mixed with medicinal wine or soju? How to use ice?"
Shu Shu moved gently, unable to explain the problem of capillary wall damage to Ninth Brother, and said: "We also need to rub it away, but we have to wait for two days. If we rub it now, the bruises will disperse, but the symptoms will not change." It’s light, it can’t be more serious.”
Brother Jiu seemed to understand, but his face was a little confused: "Is this also the truth in the book?"
Shu Shu couldn't explain clearly, so he changed his words and said angrily: "You don't even remember the principle of 'a small stick is used to receive, and a big stick is used to move'? I had to take this blow. Fortunately, it was on the shoulder blade, and the top is the head." , going down to the ribs..."
Brother Jiu muttered: "I don't know this yet? Didn't you see that the inkstone fell from the sky at such a speed that I didn't even have a chance to dodge..."
Speaking of this, he said with regret: "A piece of Jiulong Yun Cong Duan Inkstone from the former Dynasty fell into pieces. What a pity! There is no place to look for one or two thousand taels of silver outside. If I had been smarter, I could have caught it. , you don’t have to suffer this, you can still make a lot of money..."
When Shu Shu thought about this scene, she couldn't bear it and felt angry.
How can we take action? !
The third elder brother, the "unfilial brother," was not beaten, and the eighth elder brother, the "unfilial son," was not beaten. The ninth elder brother was good, so he received this beating in vain.
Seeing that Brother Ninth was heartless and careless, Shu Shu couldn't laugh or cry.
It’s true, I’m usually petty, but this time I’m more open-minded and don’t bear grudges when I should!
Shu Shu's hands became heavier, pressing hard on his bruised area.
"ah……"
Brother Jiu screamed out all of a sudden, tears streaming down his face.
Either she was crying, or she was just plain excited.
He looked at Shu Shu with tears streaming down his face, gritted his teeth and said, "Are you going to murder your husband?"
Outside the main room, Walnut and Xiaosong stood.
The two of them stayed outside and did not dare to go back to the side room, fearing that the main room might give orders.
Hearing the noise, the two looked at each other with worry.
Shu Shu is the female lead, and Brother Jiu is also the male lead.
From last night to today, things happened one after another, and this one hurt another one, and they all became uneasy.
"Sister Xiaochun, why aren't you back yet?"
Komatsu muttered.
Walnut said: "It's today, I guess I'll be back in the afternoon."
If you come back in the morning, you should come in after breakfast.
I haven't arrived yet, I probably had lunch in the mansion before going back to the palace.
Just as he was talking, another groan came from the room.
This time it was not Shu Shu's hand, but Brother Jiu who wanted to get up and pull the person, and happened to stretch the bruised area.
At this moment, Xianglan brought the little palace maid in and listened attentively.
Her expression remained unchanged and her steps became a little heavy.
This morning, the two masters won't cause any trouble, right?
Even if it's at night, it's hard to hide it from others in broad daylight.
Seeing Walnut and Xiaosong standing in the corridor, she took a few more glances.
The two of them were open-minded and did not shy away from each other.
Xianglan knew that she might have thought wrong.
Walnut has already raised his voice: "Aunt Xianglan, are you here?"
Xianglan glanced at her, nodded and said, "Your Majesty sent me here to deliver something."
In the west room, Shu Shu and Jiu Age also heard the noise outside.
Brother Jiu reminded in a low voice: "Remember to file a complaint. We can't go against the Yonghe Palace Empress. Let our empress come forward and speak!"
Shu Shu glanced at him, dipped the handkerchief in the soju, and dabbed it at the corner of his eyes.
Tears burst out immediately.
Brother Jiu's eyes widened and he looked at Shu Shu with disbelief.
Shu Shu closed Brother Jiu's shirt loosely, leaving only the bruised shoulder, and whispered: "Don't be ashamed, please show off your flesh..."
Brother Jiu glared at her, but did not say any words of rejection.
Shu Shu wiped her eyes, stood up, walked out, hoarse her voice, and forced a smile: "Auntie is here..."
Xianglan's expression remained unchanged, and she was horrified in her heart.
There was a lot of commotion here, and all the palaces naturally got the news.
It's just that it's not conveyed very clearly.
But it is also the fourteenth elder brother.
I didn’t say what happened to the Ninth Prince and his wife.
Shu Shu's eyes were so irritated that she had tears in her eyes even as she spoke.
Xianglan couldn't pretend not to see it, so she could only whisper: "What's wrong with Fujin? Is there something wrong with my brother, and I have wronged you?"
But the one I just called was Brother Jiu!
Could it be that this young couple got into a fight and took action?
Fujin's stature does not look weak, and she is the daughter of a general, so she often shoots bows and arrows.
Xianglan felt uneasy.
Shu Shu lowered his head and wiped his eyes, choking and saying, "Even if my aunt doesn't come, I'm planning to go find my empress to make the decision..."
Pandan became more and more uneasy.
Is this really a quarrel between the young couple?
Shu Shu didn't say anything else, but led Xianglan to Xicijian.
Seeing is believing, hearing is believing.
Then, in Xianglan's eyes, it was Brother Jiu who was sitting on the kang disheveled, with tears on his face.
It turned out that Brother Jiu thought of the sentence "Children who cry are fed by milk" and imitated Shu Shu's actions.
But it was too much soju.
Tears were streaming down his face, and his eyes were red inside.
He has no love in his life.
At this moment, Xianglan saw the bruises on Brother Jiu's body and her expression changed.
Shu Shu sat directly by the kang, lowered her head and wiped her tears: "Auntie also saw it, a good person was smashed like this, I feel wronged for our father..."
"Brother Fourteen came over in the middle of the night, and we still took care of him. He called the imperial doctor, and he was busy trying to cool down the fever. He worked all night, and there was no credit but hard work. How could this be possible?"
"Ms. Yonghe Palace is here and wants us to take care of Brother Fourteen. I and I are still young and can't see him!"
Shu Shu complained without hesitation.
"Anyway, we don't dare to take over. Brother Jingui, the fourteenth brother, is fine. Our master has suffered this. If he loses a hair, we will pay for it with our lives!"
She did not lower her voice, and she was not afraid of these words reaching the imperial court.
Dissatisfaction is dissatisfaction.
If I endured it silently, there would be no chance of another time.
Brother Jiu was standing by, listening quietly, feeling depressed.
These days, Shu Shu strives for perfection in everything, and can be called a good daughter-in-law and sister-in-law.
What happened today could have been reduced to a minor matter.
Speaking of herself, it was just a bruise, no skin broken or bleeding, but in her eyes it was a big deal.
The good daughter-in-law did not speak out her resentful words.
Before, Brother Ninth felt that he was older and did not have to compete with his younger brother for favor, but now he was still feeling sour.
Forget it, he doesn't want to be sensible anymore.
Xianglan understood the cause and effect, but it was hard to say anything.
Can I scold the emperor, or blame Concubine De?
These words were spoken to her, not to her.
She took a small jar from the hands of the little palace maid and said: "My Majesty just got this. I usually drink it to moisten my lungs and relieve coughs. My Majesty sent a slave to bring a copy."
Brother Ninth Brother thought of Concubine De's partiality towards others, and asked by mistake, "Did Brother Five keep her?"
Xianglan nodded and said: "Keep a jar and bring it back when the big brother Wufujin enters the palace."
Brother Jiu nodded.
Although the empress did not favor him, compared with Concubine De, this kind of equal treatment was not bad.
Maybe every mother has her own ideas.
Anyway, my empress is much stronger than Concubine De.
Xianglan didn't stay long and went out after delivering the things.
Just before going out, she glanced at the secondary room from the corner of her eye.
At this moment, Brother Jiu's eyes were swollen.
Shu Shu was helpless and asked Walnut to bring some water.
"How much did you wipe?"
Shu Shu asked him to wash his eyes directly.
Brother Jiu hummed softly: "Isn't this what I learned from the old fourteen? You said that noisy spirit, if anyone else had been scolded or slapped, what about him? Unscathed! I can see it, but you can't be too sensible! "
“I’ll treat this good boy as whoever he wants, but we’ll treat him as the ignorant one!”
"The ignorant son, even if he gets into trouble, still has to worry and be frightened, and have to be coaxed... This sensible son, no one will pay attention to him at all..."
He thought of that time in the paddock, when the brothers were fighting. Not everyone was at fault, but they were punished harshly.
The same thing happened to Bage, who got up early and worked late to do his errands. He didn't even say a word of praise and couldn't discipline his wife, so he just yelled "unfilial son" and even quit his errands.
Brother Jiu whispered: "I have noticed that the more sensible and promising my son is, the more harsh the Khan Ama will be, and if he has any shortcomings, it will be a big mistake. On the contrary, if he is ignorant, he will be tolerant. It is simply It makes no sense!”
Shu Shu felt that there might be some truth to this.
The son in front of him placed much hope on him, more like training his ministers, hoping that they would become "good kings" one by one, and he asked for more.
The later son, the son, does not have to be disciplined too much, nor does he have too many expectations, so he can grow up.
Brother Ninth was originally from the latter group, but he has been too active in the past six months and jumped to the former group.
Kangxi probably didn't do it on purpose.
Thinking about the next twenty years, Shu Shu felt that Brother Jiu made the right decision.
The ninth elder brother talked about the twelfth elder brother again: "This is too biased. When I arrived at my elder brother's place, I didn't even say to go and take a look..."
Shu Shu nodded.
It's partiality. Over time, the relationship between father and son has faded.
Brother Jiu said: "In the future, let's forget if we don't have children. If we do, we must not do this..."
The couple has a tacit understanding, and the game of elder brother and elder sister-in-law ends here.
“I’m just looking forward to the beginning of spring!”
As soon as Brother Jiu lay down, he couldn't wait to move to Xiu Mansion.
Shu Shu remembered the cause of last night's farce and said, "Have you found anything in the past?"
She still suspected it was a wind whistle.
Brother Jiu held her hand and said, "I didn't find anything just now, but I think this is an opportunity. I may not be able to find anything."
Shu Shu couldn't figure it out, so he asked, "How can I check it?"
Brother Jiu said: "Isn't it haunted in the middle of the night? Then let's go there in the middle of the night! There are people in the four houses from last night to today. Even if we want to eliminate the traces, it is too late. It is impossible to say that we will really find something..."
Shu Shu had no objection.
Some deceptions require a thread to be uncovered.
*
In Yikun Palace.
After listening to Xianglan's story, Yifei looked solemn.
This is the emperor, beating her son for someone else's son.
There is also Concubine De, who pretends to be honest but is most stubborn and selfish.
In the name of brother and sister-in-law, they have to arrange for their son to be taken care of by others. This is just to bully Brother Jiu and Shu Shu because they are young and tender and cannot easily refuse.
The prince and the princess are also brothers and sisters-in-law, why doesn't she entrust them to him?
The corners of Yifei's mouth were drooped, and she was already thinking about how to deal with Concubine De when she paid her respects the day after tomorrow.
If she wants to control her son, does she think that her mother is dead?
After Xianglan said this, she was silent for a while.
She hesitated for a moment, then said softly: "Madam, although Fujin and my brother are living in separate rooms, they still live, sit and sleep in the same place, and the girls also avoid..."
She didn't want to slander her, but she was really worried that the young couple had a strong relationship, and something might happen if something happened.
After hearing this, Concubine Yi was also worried.
The young couple wouldn't be afraid if they got closer, but now that brother Jiu's medicine has stopped, it would be really troublesome if he got pregnant.
If you don’t want it, you won’t be able to bear it.
If you want to, giving birth to a child during the filial period means that your character is defective and you will offend your eldest brother.
Brother Ninth is the adult son, and Shu Shu, the daughter-in-law, is a well-behaved daughter of a noble family.
It was okay to remind her once, but if she reminded her again, it would be like she slapped her daughter-in-law in the face.
Yifei counted the time and found that it would be nearly three months.
She murmured in a low voice: "It would be great if there was a way to separate the two of them for a period of time to pass the period of filial piety..."
