Obviously, when I treated Xiao Lin's injuries in my previous life, nothing like this happened!
However, since the old lady said so, it must be true.
When Su Li thought about her "righteous deed" just now, her face turned red and she was so ashamed that she wished she could get through a crack in the ground!
"Forgive me, madam!" She apologized with a red face, "I was so stupid to do such a ridiculous thing!"
"Silly girl! I don't blame you!" The old lady shook her head, "It was your mother who neglected her duty!"
"But I almost hurt His Highness..." Su Li became more and more frightened as he thought about it.
"No, you saved him!" the old lady said seriously, "If you hadn't taken the initiative to save him, I don't know what would have happened to Lin'er! His legs are disabled, and the crown prince's position is disabled. If you add such hidden diseases, it will be difficult for a man. Said, it is simply a devastating blow! God has mercy on you and bestows you as a blessed general to save the prince and the Xie family from fire and water! I am so grateful that I shed tears of gratitude! Please accept my worship!"
As she spoke, she stood up and bowed to Su Li.
Su Li was startled and hurriedly supported her: "The old lady has embarrassed this junior! How dare I accept such a great gift from you? Please get up quickly!"
"No matter how heavy the gift is, it is still worthy of the life-saving grace!" the old lady said seriously.
"No!" Su Li shook his head, "If we talk about life-saving grace, it is because His Highness the Crown Prince was kind to me first, and now I am here to repay the kindness!"
"What kind of favor did he do to you?" The old lady was startled, "When did that happen?"
"It happened at the palace banquet at the Winter Solstice last year!" Su Li replied, "At that time, I was tricked by Jiang Qingge and a group of noble ladies into falling into the water. His Royal Highness was the one who pulled me up!"
"That's it!" The old lady understood, "You actually have such a fate!"
"It's not just the prince!" Su Li said again, "I was so cold that I almost fainted, and old madam, you gave me your hand stove! The princess sent someone to take me back to her bedroom to keep warm. His Royal Highness the prince was wearing a big cloak at that time. You took it off and wrapped it around me! Now that I think about your kindness to me, I feel particularly warm!"
"I have no memory at all!" The old lady looked at her, "It's rare that a girl like you still remembers it!"
"How dare you forget your life-saving grace?" Su Li said softly.
"Good boy!" The old lady held her hand, her eyes slightly red, "Stop talking, you have worked hard all night, you must be hungry! Eat quickly!"
"Give it to His Highness first!" Su Li said hurriedly.
"Don't worry about him!" the old lady said, "As for the food, you can take care of it! Let's finish eating first!"
Su Li nodded and held up his meal. When he saw the food on the table clearly, he was slightly startled.
"What's wrong?" the old lady asked, "Isn't there anything you like to eat?"
"No!" Su Li smiled back, "It's all my favorite food!"
"That's good!" The old lady nodded, "Eat quickly! You must be starving!"
After the meal, Su Li took a short rest and then went to check on Xiao Lin's condition.
There was an unprovoked incident like the one just now, so she tried very hard to show that she didn't care before entering the door.
But after entering the door and seeing the man lying on the ground, he was instantly defeated.
Fortunately, Xiao Lin was reading a book. When he saw her coming in, he just nodded to her lightly and then lowered his head.
Su Li breathed a sigh of relief, walked to the front of the cave, and whispered: "Your Highness, I want to check the condition of your legs again..."
Xiao Lin said "hmm" and took the initiative to lift the quilt, exposing his two long legs.
Su Li carefully observed and found that everything was normal. She breathed a sigh of relief and put the quilt back on her body.
"Your Highness, please have a good life!" she said, "I will write down the relevant precautions and give them to the old lady!"
"Okay!" Xiao Lin nodded, his eyes still glued to the book.
"And this Shuhen ointment..." She took out the ointment she had prepared a long time ago and put it on the small table next to him. "Ask Mr. Li to help apply it on the wound. It can reduce inflammation and relieve pain. After using it for a while, the body will be healed." The scars will be removed! Your Highness will be able to regain his former beauty!"
Xiao Lin said "hmm" again, but still didn't raise his head.
Su Li felt slightly uneasy.
It seemed that he was dissatisfied with his own unreasonable move just now.
She hesitated whether to apologize or not, but swallowed the words as soon as they reached her lips.
It's not appropriate to mention this kind of embarrassing thing again, just pretend to be stupid and get over it!
"Your Highness, take care, I'll take my leave!" She bowed to say goodbye and turned around slowly.
Just as he took a step, he suddenly heard a "puff" sound, as if someone couldn't help laughing.
She was startled and turned around quickly.
What he saw was Xiao Lin concentrating on reading a book seriously.
Su Li scratched his head.
Hallucinating?
She continued to walk forward, but after taking a few steps, the voice sounded again.
Su Li: "..."
She turned her head and looked at Xiao Lin again.
Xiao Lin is still reading, still very serious.
Except for one thing, the book seemed to be shaking violently.
Su Li looked up the book and saw Xiao Lin's chin that almost dropped to his chest, and the corners of his lips that were obviously grinning.
The next moment, he suddenly raised the book in his hand and covered his face.
Suppressed laughter kept overflowing from behind the trembling book.
Su Li: "..."
"Your Highness...what are you laughing...what are you laughing at?" she asked stammering.
In fact, she asked knowingly.
But it seemed even more embarrassing to be laughed at by him and stand there silently.
"Nothing!" Xiao Lin tried hard to hold back his laughter and waved to her, "Come here!"
Su Li walked up to him hesitantly.
Xiao Lin took out a brocade box from the bedside cabinet and handed it to her: "Accept the consultation fee!"
"Contact fee?" Su Li was startled.
"Originally I didn't plan to give it to you," Xiao Lin looked at her, "You saved Gu's life. This is a profound kindness that cannot be equaled by gold and silver. But after thinking about it seriously, I felt that you should be in great need of these common things at this time! "
Su Li lowered his eyes to look at the brocade box, then raised his eyes after a moment, his eyes filled with water.
Xiao Lin is right.
She was desperately poor now and needed these worldly things very much.
She made peace with Gu Mingxuan and was leaving the house today. She gave half of the dowry to the Zhang family and there was not much left.
Furthermore, most of the dowries are jewelry, silks, calligraphy and paintings, which cannot be exchanged for money at the moment.
She was going to join her grandfather Su's family, but the Su family's house was confiscated and they must be in a tight situation right now!
Xiao Lin's box of consultation money can solve her urgent problem!
"Thank you, Your Highness, for being considerate!" She sniffed, "The civilian girl was so disrespectful that I accepted it!"
Xiao Lin nodded and said: "If anyone dares to bully me in the future, please send someone to tell Gu! It was you who cured Gu's thigh. From now on, just come and hug me!"
Su Li smiled: "Thank you, Your Highness! If there is any difficulty, the daughter of the people will come to trouble you!"
Xiao Lin smiled and nodded, his smiling eyes shining brightly, making Su Li jump for joy.
It's great that her benefactor in her previous life will no longer be as miserable and miserable as she was in her previous life!
With this mood in mind, she left with an unusually light step.
When he walked to the door, Xiao Lin suddenly shouted from behind: "Wait a minute!"
"Huh?" Su Li twisted her head to look at him.
