It's just that this sleep was not very peaceful after all.
Before the chaos in the dream disappeared, there was movement outside.
The news that the prince was injured reached the front, and the old lady rushed over as soon as she heard the news. Butler Wang couldn't persuade her, so she had to let someone come in to call for someone.
Song Jinyin woke up early and saw that the people next to her were still silent, which made her feel a little anxious.
If he didn't get up, if the old lady came into the room and saw the two of them lying with their necks crossed, she would probably be even more angry.
Just when he reached out and pushed, he found that the person next to him was hot all over.
Worrying too much actually made people calm down.
Song Jinyin forced herself to get up from the bed and put on her coat with the hand of the maid.
"Your Majesty has a fever, go and call the doctor quickly."
"That girl, you..."
There wasn't much color on Song Jinyin's face, and her clothes were disheveled. She really couldn't walk out in such a grand manner, "I'll go to the back. The old ladies on the left and right are thinking about the prince, and they can't think of anything about me for a while."
Pointing at her hand, the maid helped her to the closet inside. Seeing that she was struggling to walk, she said worriedly: "Why don't you stay outside, young lady? Since the old lady asked Grandma Fu to send something over, she must give it up." Knowing that the girl is in the main room, I won’t say much.”
"No, the old lady will become even more angry because of what happened in the past two days."
Song Jinyin shook her head.
Originally it was nothing, Pei Yanzhou had already taken the initiative for her, and she had no need to dodge anymore. At most, she would just see the old lady's cold face, but now, Pei Yanzhou was injured and had a fever.
This anger is definitely not an ordinary fish in a pond.
But before he could find a place to hide, the door at the back was pushed open, and the old lady looked over with a stern look.
In desperation, Song Jinyin had no choice but to step forward and salute.
"This slave has met the old lady."
"Your body and bones are healing quickly."
The old lady looked her around, taking in all her weakness. When she looked back, she suppressed the anger in her heart, raised her steps and walked inside, "How is Yan Zhou?"
"Your Majesty has a fever, and I don't know what to do. I'm about to send someone to call a doctor."
"You have a fever? Why don't you hurry up and call someone!"
The visitor's pace was a little more hurried, and the guards behind him heard it and hurried to the doctor's residence.
"How do you serve the master? A living person is in front of you, and he is so drowsy that he only notices it?"
"Forgive me, madam."
With the support of the maid next to her, Song Jinyin knelt down with great effort, and her breathing stopped for a moment in pain.
Still unable to escape this implication, she drooped her eyebrows and looked at the ground with self-mockery.
"I don't dare to accuse you Song Jinyin now! No matter how Yan Zhou treats you, you should know that you are just a maid! Even if you are valued in the future and your status is elevated, you will end up in the position of a concubine at most. In the final analysis, you are still a maid. Remember the word "serve!"
"I understand that what happened to the Crown Prince today was really due to my negligence..."
"You better really understand!"
The old lady interrupted her. Once the anger was expressed, old and new things were mixed together, and just as Song Jinyin thought, it fell heavily on her.
Even though she knew that Pei Yanzhou's injury had nothing to do with her, the old lady didn't care to distinguish it, she just wanted to get rid of all the anger in her heart.
"Don't think that because Yan Zhou protected you that day, you will be safe. If you don't remember your duty, and one day he loses interest, you will be left alone..."
"grandmother."
The person on the bed had a movement in his throat, his voice was extremely hoarse, and his brows were furrowed, as if he was in extreme discomfort.
"My grandmother came to my house early in the morning to teach me a lesson, which was a bit unreasonable."
The anger on the old lady's face had not dissipated, but when she saw the person wake up, she did not bother to reprimand Song Jinyin any more.
"You still dare to stand up for her? Look at what you look like now, lying on the bed with a sick look, and being seen by those under you, your master will only be a joke!"
"It's not that she's trying to show off, it's just that her grandson's injury has nothing to do with her."
Pei Yanzhou coughed slightly, and his peripheral vision reflected Song Jinyin's figure kneeling on the ground. Under the wide coat was a thin body supported by strong support, and was still trembling a little due to the exertion.
His eyes darkened, and he stood up from the bed.
"What are you doing? Lie down quickly!"
"It's just a minor injury, my grandson is fine."
As soon as he finished speaking, the man took off his coat and put it on. He didn't look at the person kneeling on the ground anymore, but just passed her and walked outside.
"It's messy inside. Grandma, why don't you come and sit outside and have a cup of tea."
"How long are you going to hold on?"
Without thinking about what he meant, the old lady fluttered her sleeves and followed around the screen.
His sharp eyes were covered with anxiety and helplessness, and he could no longer care about the people inside. He only stared anxiously at his grandson, who had little blood on his face but was leisurely making tea.
"Miss Jinyin, wake up quickly."
Seeing that everyone had gone outside, the maid helped Song Jinyin up. She didn't dare to use too much force, but she was afraid that she would not be able to get up if she lacked strength.
Fortunately, no one outside noticed this.
Song Jinyin took the maid's hand and raised her pale lips, "Thank you."
"This slave was called to take care of the girl. There is no need for the girl to thank you. The old lady probably won't come in now. It's better for the girl to go back to the bed and lie down first to avoid hurting the wound."
"The old lady hasn't left. How can I lie down at this time? I'll sit here for a while."
"But the injury on the girl's back..."
"Now that I can sit for a while, it doesn't hurt so much."
There was a soft cushion on the chair. Song Jinyin touched it lightly and frowned, but luckily she could bear it.
The old lady is so angry that she has no place to quench her anger, and she will never touch this bad luck no matter what.
It's just that although she didn't follow him out, the old lady's scolding outside still carried her name.
"I, the old woman, just listened to what you said last time and I just want to stay out of it from now on. But you can't be so unruly and let a maid stay on your couch all day and all night!"
"If you raise her heart, how do you plan to stop it in the future? Feeding her greed, hiding the beauty in the golden house?"
"What's more, her injuries haven't healed yet. How can she get the bloody aura? If she gets some bad luck on her body, do you still need to do those errands that require knife work?"
Maybe she remembered Pei Yanzhou's words that day. The old lady stopped talking after a few words. She looked at his face, but then she saw that he looked indifferent, and the anger in her heart came out again.
Only this time she didn't stare at Song Jinyin and talk, but talked about others.
"Okay, you are impatient to listen, but even if I don't use a maid as an excuse, then the Xu family girl, the Xu family girl is always a person of status, right?"
"grandmother!"
Pei Yanzhou frowned, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he was interrupted by the old lady.
"What? My grandson went to block the knife for her, why can't I say something? Is there no one above you? Even if you want to marry her, you shouldn't take your own life for granted! In my opinion, she is used to it. The days on the frontier are not suitable for joining our Pei family and becoming the heir apparent, so you'd better calm down!"
"Grandma, don't drag Youyi into this, it's none of her business."
Pei Yanzhou's voice was still a little hoarse, but as soon as he said these protective words, the chill came out.
Under the tense expression, there was no concealment of coldness and impatience, which made the angry old lady immediately suppress her voice.
Song Jinyin also heard the movement outside. Her face turned a little pale uncontrollably. The hand on the table curled up slightly, and her fingertips moved unconsciously, as if she could not find where to go.
"Miss Jinyin?"
Seeing her shaking violently, the maid next to her leaned down and asked softly.
"I'm fine, just a little cold."
Song Jinyin raised her eyes and smiled at her, but her smile was a little stiff.
It turns out that the injury was not caused by the assassin. Thinking about it this way, the purse could not have been caused by someone else.
Behind her was the coat brought by the maid, which was gently placed on her body.
The old lady outside didn't speak again, and the atmosphere was a bit grim until the doctor hurried over.
Song Jinyin just sat like this, listening to the doctor's instructions.
In fact, she shouldn't have other thoughts, but after feeling tenderness for a few days, and seeing Pei Yanzhou being treated so obviously, Song Jinyin still couldn't help but feel a pain in her heart.
She thought that Pei Yanzhou would retort for her if the old lady said that to her. Even if he just called his grandmother to interrupt her, it would be considered as blocking her from being looked down upon.
But none.
Pei Yanzhou never really took her to heart, and he still looked down upon her like everyone else.
Even though he showed tenderness at the last moment, he always stayed awake towards her.
Taking a deep breath, Song Jinyin suppressed the emotions in her heart faster than before.
Fortunately, she is also becoming more and more awake.
