When Ye Jinxiao woke up again, his head felt heavy, his whole body felt hazy, and his throat was as dry as smoke.
"Cough... cough cough..."
With difficulty, he reached for the silver bracelet on his wrist and reluctantly gave himself a dose of antipyretic injection.
I didn't have the strength to deal with the injury on my butt, and fell into fainting again. When I regained my consciousness, I could only hear a desperate cry outside the door:
"Please let me out! The young lady's injury is very serious and she must see a doctor... Please..."
"Nanny Lin, I will give you money, lots and lots of money. Please go to Tai Tu's Mansion and tell our wife... please..."
"Rou'er kowtows to you!"
In the end, nothing worked.
When Rou'er returned to the house, her hair was disheveled, her eye sockets were sunken, her forehead was soaked in blood, and she knelt in front of the bed in despair:
"I'm sorry, miss, Rou'er is useless..."
The prince was determined to lock them in the cold courtyard, where they were left to fend for themselves, unable to leave the palace, and unable to promptly inform his wife and the old man of the situation here.
If the madam and the old man knew about it, they would use all the power of the entire family to never let the young lady suffer such injustice.
"Ahem..."
Ye Jinxiao coughed weakly, and every time his chest twitched, his whole body felt like it was being crushed.
Turning his wrist, he took out the ointment and gauze.
"Stop crying, give me... give me medicine... cough cough..."
Rou'er's eyes widened in surprise.
Why does the lady have medicine on her? !
Not daring to delay, he immediately treated the wound, took off her skirt, and saw the burst wounds on the young lady's buttocks, crisscrossed with blood and flesh, and her eyes couldn't help but turn red.
Thirty big boards!
A full thirty blows, which even a grown man may not be able to withstand, hit the young lady's thin body.
The prince is so cruel!
"Miss, the prince is too partial..." Rou'er shed tears silently, "You are so seriously injured, we have no food or supplements, and our money and dowry are all held by Concubine Liu, what should we do? …”
Today, Concubine Liu is the mistress of this palace.
Not a single copper was given to them.
This is to force them to death!
Ye Jinxiao was lying on the bed, suddenly thinking of something, he took out a purse attached to his clothes and took out the black jade pendant inside.
"If you pawn it, you should be able to get a lot of money in exchange."
Rou'er glared: "Miss, isn't this something you value more than your life!"
The pure ink-colored jade pendant was of high quality and flawless, with a dragon totem carved on it. It felt as cold as frost and snow, exactly the same as the aura on that man's body.
And its owner is indeed Chu Yuci.
Seven years ago, the original owner saved King Yu's life, but King Yu fainted due to poison and left this jade pendant as a token.
It was also from that time on that the original owner fell madly in love with King Yu.
But the original owner seemed to be a masochist, holding the token in his hand but never taking it out. He always said, 'King Yu, I really love you', 'King Yu, you will regret it if you don't marry me'. 'You will definitely regret doing this to me'.
While being abused by King Yu, he chased King Yu at the same time.
Then he was tortured to death.
A bit seriously ill.
Now that the original owner is dead, there is no need for this jade pendant to exist. She doesn't want anything related to King Yu.
"Take this unlucky thing!"
-
Mingyue Pavilion.
Liu Mingyue was wearing a pink skirt, sitting on the chair obediently, with her legs together and her hands obediently placed, like an obedient porcelain doll.
Chu Yuci took the ointment and gently applied it to her worn elbow.
"hiss……"
"Does it hurt you?" Chu Yuci immediately relaxed his movements.
Liu Mingyue bit her lower lip lightly, her expression of enduring the pain made people feel pity for her.
"Brother Yuci, I'm fine. It's just that the princess sister... seems to be seriously injured. Yue'er feels very sorry..."
Mentioning Ye Jinxiao, Chu Yuci looked extremely cold.
"Yue'er, I swore that you saved my life seven years ago, and I will marry you. I will only treat you well in this life. Anyone who hurts you will die."
Besides, for a despicable and vicious woman like Ye Jinxiao, beating her to death would not be an exaggeration!
"Brother Yuci, you are so kind." Liu Mingyue moved closer to the man's arms, her lowered eyes twinkling.
Seven years ago, she passed by a bamboo forest and met King Yu who was in a coma. Although she didn't know who really saved him, she accidentally got a big deal...
Such overwhelming wealth and favor~~
Ye Jinxiao, what are you fighting with me for?
-
The cold courtyard is connected to the back mountain, with broken walls and ruins, as if abandoned and unattended. Rou'er got out of the dog hole in the back, pawned the jade pendant, exchanged it for silver, and bought medicine and meat.
After bringing back the supplies, her eyes turned red with joy.
"Miss, that piece of jade pendant is worth twenty taels of silver! Rou'er is going to make some broth right away to replenish your health!"
With these twenty taels of life-saving money, the young lady's injuries will be healed as soon as possible.
Ye Jinxiao lay on the bed and shook his head helplessly.
Twenty Liang is so happy.
Little did he know that Chu Yuci's personal jade pendant was worth two thousand taels.
The little girl was still too naive and was deceived by the pawn shop.
In the next few days, Rou'er changed Ye Jinxiao's medicine three times a day, went to the small kitchen to make chicken soup, fish soup, and pigeon soup, and secretly went out to buy sheets and cotton wool.
Ye Jinxiao's injury is getting better day by day.
On the third day, she got out of bed. From the difficult move of holding on to the wall, unable to move even an inch, she gradually started walking, jogging, sit-ups, running with weights on her own, getting up early and going to bed late, sweating profusely.
With accelerated exercise, the body recovers extremely quickly.
After ten days, he was like a normal person.
call out--
In the ruined courtyard, a stone bullet flew out, and a magpie on a dead branch couldn't dodge and was knocked down with a 'snap'.
"Chichi! Chichi!"
The magpie jumped up, fluttering its wings, and seemed to be very angry and scolded the woman who took action.
Ye Jinxiao touched the tip of his nose innocently, "I'm sorry, cough."
After training for less than half a month, she just wanted to try her hand. Although this body was weak, judging from the attack just now, it had recovered to 70% of the level of the previous life.
Enough to protect yourself.
She was satisfied.
"Don't be angry, dear. I'll grab a handful of extra millet grains for you for dinner tonight." I held the little magpie in my arms and comforted him for a while, then he raised his bulging buttocks and flew up the branch.
"Miss, what are you chirping there? Can you still understand the birds?"
Rou'er was holding a wooden basin and had just washed her clothes, smiling from ear to ear at the young lady's behavior.
Ye Jinxiao narrowed his eyes and smiled, noncommittal.
-
As night fell, Chu Yuci got off his horse, returned to the palace covered with dust, and went straight to the study.
The secret guard Fengxing followed closely behind him, helping him wash his hands, change his clothes, and light incense, all in one go.
Chu Yu resigned and took a pill, suppressing the tiredness between his brows, picked up the folder on the table, and prepared to deal with it overnight.
Feng Xing reminded in a low voice: "Master, you haven't closed your eyes for three days. This strange disease is coming fiercely, and I'm afraid it won't be solved in a short time. Please balance work and rest, and take good care of your health."
Half a month ago, a strange disease broke out outside the capital.
This disease has a very high mortality rate and is highly contagious. In just ten days, it has affected two cities, involving more than 50,000 people, and killed more than 100 people.
People are panicking.
Chu Yuci received the emperor's order and started working on this matter. He was so busy that he only had two meals in three days.
He rubbed his painful temples, his ink robe was wrinkled, stained with dust and the smell of medicine, and he was almost exhausted to the point of exhaustion.
"If we delay for one more day, dozens of people will die of illness."
He can't stop.
After reading the two envelopes, I suddenly thought of Ye Jinxiao.
After thirty blows, that woman's bones were very hard. She didn't say a word, didn't faint, and she dared to hurt Yue'er.
After so many days, even if she has a strong consciousness, she will be tortured by the pain to the point of despair.
It's almost time.
"Over at Leng Yuan, tell Ye Jinxiao that as long as she kneels down and apologizes to Yue'er, I can forgive her life and find a doctor for her."
When Feng Xing heard this, his expression suddenly became strange.
During this period, I did not receive any help from Leng Yuan.
Yesterday afternoon when he came back from work and passed by the cold courtyard, he seemed to see the princess and her maid cooking.
The master and servant were very busy, the green smoke was curling up in the small kitchen, and the aroma of vegetables wafted far away.
"Master, I'm afraid that the princess... probably doesn't need your kindness..."
