"As a doctor who treats illnesses and saves lives, if I hadn't met you, maybe I would have died there..."
To this day, Chu Xin can still recall the fear at that moment. Was it the sadness of knowing that her life was about to end, or was it the original stupidity that caused the current consequences.
"Ayun, seeing how cute and cute you are, I think of an old friend from my past. She is about the same age as you and just as cute as you. She likes to pull my sleeves and call me sister."
Chu Xin stretched out her hand to help Ayun up and sit across from her. In fact, now that she thought about who killed Qianqian, she already had the answer in her heart.
Thinking back to how calm Chu Yi was that night, especially her sarcastic eyes, I knew that this person must have been killed by Xiao Zhi. It was just the thief shouting "catch the thief" to let everyone know that it was King Xuan who killed him in anger.
But when King Xuan really kills him, how will Xiao Zhi feel? Will he regret it? Will he recall the words he said in the Chu Palace?
"Looking at my sister's eyes, which are slowly turning red, I know that it won't be a happy thing. Daddy just said a question that I don't want to answer, so I won't ask it!"
Ayun saw it clearly and felt keenly that what happened to Chu Xin in the past must not be that simple. Maybe there were many sad things?
Chu Xin smiled, but suddenly thought of her scarred face, and the smile quickly disappeared. She must be terrible when she smiles now, right?
"Sister, don't worry. The people in this medicine garden have been carefully selected by my father and I. They are very peaceful and not troublesome. They usually help my father sort out some medicinal materials and spend their free time in their own room. Wait, not to mention I’m used to seeing all kinds of wounds, and the wounds on my sister’s face are nothing.”
It could be seen that Chu Xin was still concerned about the scars on her face, and Ayun quickly comforted her. In fact, these were nothing.
They are used to seeing all kinds of wounds in daily life, and this small scar is nothing more than that.
"My sister is still very weak now, so I asked Qiaoxia to stay in the house and take care of her. She is a peaceful and sensible person. During the day, you and I have to work with dad to make medicine. I'm afraid I won't be able to stay with my sister all the time."
Ayun thought carefully, her sister was injured like this, and she was already fragile, so she had to ask a calm and sensible person to take care of her.
"Okay, everything is up to you."
Chu Xin smiled gratefully. Now she just needs to be obedient. This life is all thanks to the father and daughter. Without them, she would really have died there.
After finishing speaking, Ayun asked Qiaoxia to come over and help Chu Xin back to the house. She was going to continue to read the medical books. Even if the scars on her face could not be completely removed, they could slowly fade away.
"Miss Xin'er."
As Ayun said, Qiaoxia is a very peaceful and sensible person. She helps the person sit on the bed and smiles sweetly, as if she didn't see the scar on the other person's face.
"Qiaoxia, this name is really nice," Chu Xin smiled and looked at the girl standing in front of her, her face was round, as if everyone here had a medicinal scent.
"Girl, do you think I smell like medicine?" Qiao Xia raised both hands, smelling the left side and the right side.
"There are all medicinal materials placed in this courtyard. The people we serve in the courtyard have to come into contact with medicinal materials every day, so they all carry medicines with them. It is precisely because there are many precious medicinal materials here that we can give the girl to her in the first place. Save him!"
"That's it," Chu Xin reached out and gently rubbed her temples, still feeling a little dizzy.
"Is the girl feeling dizzy again?"
Qiaoxia came over, sat on the edge of the bed and put Chu Xin's hand in hers, gently feeling her pulse.
"The girl fell from such a high place, and the most serious injury was her left leg. She has had a high fever for most of the past six months, and she is getting better now. No matter how many bowls of medicine she drinks in the past two days, it won't heal. fever."
As Qiao Xia spoke, she took out the handkerchief in her hand and wiped the sweat on Chu Xin's forehead. Even her handkerchief smelled of medicine.
"It doesn't matter, I'm fine today. I remember when I woke up in a daze, I felt a splitting headache. Now it doesn't hurt so much. I'm already fine."
Chu Xin smiled weakly. It was because she had been lying in bed for so long that she wanted to go out for a walk. The feeling of being so dizzy that she couldn't even open her eyes was really uncomfortable.
"Is this the Nanliang Palace?" Chu Xin asked curiously, "Ayun said that she and Dr. Song were going to the foot of Beiqi Mountain to step on the unique herbs there, so they rescued me and brought me back. Can you talk to me? Can I tell you what it’s like here?”
Chu Xin could feel that it was almost summer, but it felt like it was still as warm as ever here, without the sweltering feeling in Northern Qi.
"Miss Xin'er, it is precisely because His Majesty is now weak that we have this medicine garden. That's why it is filled with precious medicinal materials. Imperial Physician Song and Miss Ayun concentrated on making the medicines His Majesty needs in the medicine garden. , this young lady can live here with peace of mind."
Qiao Xia thought for a while and then told the story roughly. Of course, she wouldn't say anything that shouldn't be said.
"Your Majesty Nanliang?" Chu Xin thought carefully, "Your Majesty's name is Yuan Heng?"
Vaguely, I suddenly thought of something from my childhood, that orchid picture?
He seems to be able to cope even with his weak body. I just remember that when I was in Northern Qi more than a year ago, I heard that the former Nanliang Majesty passed away and passed the throne to his most beloved son.
Qiao Xia didn't speak, just nodded silently. In fact, calling His Majesty by his first name was disrespectful, but seeing that the girl was just confused, and there were only two of them in the room, it didn't matter.
"So he's still in bad health? Does he need to build a medicine garden to take care of himself?"
Chu Xin asked subconsciously, then realized that she shouldn't have said this.
"Does the girl know His Majesty?" Qiao Xia frowned in confusion.
Chu Xin didn't know what to say. Since Ayun knew that he was rich or noble based on his clothes and headgear, she should be able to guess it if she just inquired about what happened in Beiqi?
"I will tell you this later. Let me think about it again."
Chu Xin didn't want to tell any more lies to deal with it. She didn't like lying or being deceived.
"That's fine. Miss Xin'er just needs to take good care of herself."
Qiao Xia smiled casually and did not insist on asking questions. She was still a patient at the moment, so how could she keep questioning a patient?
"Dad, when will Sister Xin'er be willing to tell the truth? Do you still want to hide it from me? I am her savior. I have been taking care of her for more than half a year? How are you treating me? Still so distrustful?”
Ayun sat on the edge with the book and turned it over in boredom. She had already memorized this book by heart, but her father made sure to let her read it over and over again and said that she must not make any mistakes.
"Don't do things that make things difficult for others. This is what I have taught you so many times. If you want to say something, I will tell you naturally. What's more, you are just waiting for her to speak."
Imperial Physician Song was preparing the prescriptions. He already knew which medicines he needed and how many kilograms and taels he needed.
"I remember that when I took my sister away that day, I heard some rumors about Bei Qi. Seeing that the clothes she changed and the jewelry she wore were either rich or expensive, my father guessed at that time that she must be the concubine of Prince Xiang. ”
Ayun said distressedly, remembering that His Royal Highness Prince Beiji ascended the throne half a year ago and demoted King Xuan to several people who were imprisoned for life. One of the charges was that he vented his anger and killed people, and the person he killed was King Xiang's concubine.
So what happened that day was correct. No wonder Chu Xin fell from such a high place and was bruised and bloody.
Imperial Physician Song did not speak, but concentrated on preparing the prescription. The weight of these medicinal materials must be accurate. If it were a little off, the effect would be different.
"Didn't you hear that both King Xiang's side concubine and Princess Xiang are princesses of Dachu? Why do the treatment seem to be different at all? Now King Xiang is the most trusted younger brother of His Majesty the Northern Qi Dynasty. The status of Princess Xiang has also risen with the tide. How much All the ladies from famous families are fawning over you!"
Ayun frowned and felt dissatisfied. She couldn't even read the book anymore. What was the reason? Why was there such a big difference in the treatment of the sisters?
For more than half a year, I have been getting along with Chu Xin closely, and I probably understand each other's temperament. How could such a quiet and beautiful person end up like this?
"Don't worry too much about this matter. Just save the person and see where you want to go in the future. If you want to stay here, then keep it here!"
Doctor Song glanced at his daughter and could see that he really liked Chu Xin. If his daughter liked him, it wouldn't be difficult to keep him here.
"It is said that the fights in the harem are the scariest and it seems to be true. Sister Xin'er has such a good temper, there must be no one who can't fight her with many tricks!"
Ayun was indignant and said, "Fortunately, our Highness doesn't have many concubines in the harem, otherwise the fight would be dark and dark, which would be really scary!"
Ayun shook her head quietly. Fortunately, she only had to follow her father to make prescriptions in the medicine garden. It was better not to get involved in the things in the harem!
…
"No! No! Don't come over! Don't come over!"
Hearing the sound inside, Yuexiang quickly opened the door and went in. Sure enough, she saw that Chu Yi had a nightmare and was covered in sweat.
"It's me, princess! I'm here!"
Yuexiang quickly knelt on the ground and grabbed Chu Yi's hand. It seemed that the princess had been having nightmares for more than half a year. Even if she drank the soothing soup before going to bed every day, it seemed to have no effect.
"don't want!"
Dreaming about the bloody face, the blood on the ground, and the pungent smell of blood, Chu Yi was finally frightened and woke up. Seeing Yuexiang beside her, she finally felt at ease.
"I dreamed of her again, I dreamed of her again! It's so scary! It's really scary!"
Chu Yi struggled to sit up and covered her heart. It was really scary.
"Don't be afraid, Princess. She's just a dead slave. It's been so long and she's already dead. There's nothing to be afraid of!"
Yuexiang comforted her with heartache. They all said that Mingyu, who used to serve Madam Chu, died miserably. They all said that the blood flowed all over the floor, but so what, no matter how miserable he was, he was already dead!
The princess doesn't need to be afraid at all. More than half a year has passed since that incident, and the days to come have just begun. What if she keeps falling into these things?
"I always feel panicked. What Mingyu said before he died was really terrible. I always feel uneasy in my heart."
Chu Yi closed her eyes and shook her head irritably. This feeling was really bad. She always remembered that bloody face and those vicious curses. It was really scary!
