Chu Xin has recovered very well these days. She can stand up on her own and walk slowly without crutches.
There is no need to wear a veil on the face anymore, because the scars have faded a lot and are no longer as scary as they looked at first.
During the day, I walked step by step in the yard by myself. When I had nothing to do, I went to Ayun's room to read medical books. As I looked at it, I felt that the day had passed.
Sometimes I feel that such days are really peaceful, as if there are no worries at all.
She does simple things every day. How great would it be if her life was so simple and quiet from the beginning?
On this day, the Song Dynasty doctor took Ayun out to collect medicines outside the palace. Only Chu Xin and some palace officials who were sorting the medicines were left in the courtyard.
Chu Xin was walking slowly in the yard at the moment, smelling the smell of these medicinal materials, and felt very peaceful.
I remember that when I had a fever and was seriously ill, all I could vaguely smell was the smell of these medicinal herbs. When I smelled it, I felt as if my whole body felt at ease.
After Chu Xin was tired from walking, she sat on a chair to rest, thinking that when Ayun came back later, she would like to ask her about the contents in the medical books that she could not understand. There were many details about the formulas of various medicinal materials.
"Sister Jinxiu?"
As soon as I brought the tea over, I saw someone coming in from outside. Looking at Jinxiu who seemed to be Ning Guiren, I was a little surprised.
"Qiao Xia."
After Jinxiu came in, she smiled at Qiaoxia. People in the medicine garden had met her several times and had some impressions of Qiaoxia.
"I wonder why Sister Jinxiu is here? But Ning Guiren is sick?"
Qiao Xia asked curiously. There were indeed many precious medicines in the medicine garden, but these were only for His Majesty's use. If the concubine had only a minor illness, the ordinary imperial physician in the palace would be fine.
"Ning Guiren has indeed been feeling poorly these past few days. She often can't sleep at night, so she wants some medicine to calm her mind. I wonder if Qiao Xia can prepare some?"
Jinxiu lowered her head and smiled guiltily, "Ning Guiren is His Majesty's most beloved concubine. It's not a big deal to use the medicine in the medicine garden. Please also ask Miss Qiaoxia to prepare it quickly and don't let Ning Guiren." The wait is imminent!”
"yes."
Qiaoxia put down the tea in her hand and whispered to Chu Xin who was sitting next to her.
"Xin'er, just sit here and I'll get some medicine and I'll change."
"It's okay, go ahead!"
Chu Xin smiled at her, then looked at Jinxiu who was staring at her, and still showed a faint smile.
"Your name is Xin'er?"
After Qiaoxia left, Jinxiu looked at Chu Xin in disbelief. She was worried that she had seen it wrong. She even looked at it several times to make sure that she was right and that she looked like this!
"It's indeed me. I wonder what's wrong with this sister?"
Chu Xin boldly raised her head and looked into Jinxiu's eyes. The injury on her face was not that scary now, and it should not scare the girl in front of her.
"I wonder about the injury on the girl's face?"
Jinxiu calmed down her expression and asked curiously, confirming that she had the same name as Xin'er, but the Xin'er in front of her looked like this?
There are large scars on the left side of the face. Looking at the right side of the face, it is quite beautiful, but it does not mean that His Majesty will like such a woman, let alone how to compare with Ning Guiren!
"It's because I suffered some injuries in the past, so I have so many scars on my face. Ayun has prepared some medicine to lighten the scars. If you apply it day by day, it should be able to fade away."
Chu Xin smiled and touched the injured left side of her face, disapproving of it. In fact, it was nothing. She was not a beautiful woman, so it was no big deal if her face was ruined.
"I see, then I hope that Miss Xin'er can take good care of herself and return to her beautiful days as soon as possible!"
Jinxiu was too embarrassed to speak coldly to such a miserable-looking person, so she could only say a few nice words in a symbolic way.
"Thank you, Miss Jinxiu"
Chu Xin smiled and nodded.
"I see what this girl's legs look like?"
Jinxiu stared at Chu Xin's legs carefully again. Could it be that this girl not only had her face hurt but also her legs?
"Miss Jinxiu has a good eye. My left leg is indeed injured. I'm afraid it's broken."
Chu Xin didn't hold back at all, and directly told all the injuries on her body without hesitation. Would Ning Guiren still be worried about such a disabled self?
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said these words too much. I hope the girl won't take it to heart and take good care of herself!"
Jinxiu was really ashamed. Thinking of the purpose of coming here today, she really felt a little sorry.
But now it seems that this Xin'er is nothing to be afraid of. His face and legs are hurt, and His Majesty will never fall in love with such a woman. I think the master can rest assured, right?
It happened that Qiaoxia also packed the medicinal materials and delivered them over. Jinxiu took the medicinal materials and left.
I thought it would take some effort to find out who Xin'er is today, but I didn't expect that I would know everything so easily.
"Is everything you said true? Did you really see it with your own eyes?"
Ning Guiren still didn't believe it and threw aside the medicinal materials that Jinxiu brought over. What he was most worried about now was what kind of person that Xin'er was.
In the past, even I couldn't persuade His Majesty. How could I have such great ability in my heart?
"My lord, what I said is true, my maid, but I have seen with my own eyes that Xin'er's face is indeed ruined and her legs are broken. Such a woman will never be your opponent!"
Jinxiu quickly knelt down and told exactly what she saw. She was absolutely right.
That Xin'er's body was indeed disabled. Maybe what happened that day happened to be a coincidence. There was no way His Majesty would fall in love with such a woman!
"Okay, get up!"
Ning Guiren breathed a sigh of relief. He was originally worried about some fox hiding in the medicine garden, but he didn't expect that it was just a woman with a mutilated body. It shouldn't be a big deal after thinking.
Now that the worries in his heart are gone, his whole mood has become better, and his face has returned to his quiet and gentle look.
"It seems that I really worry too much. I make such a fuss over trivial things. Maybe what I heard that time was really just a coincidence. Since that heart is so pitiful, let her take good care of herself. Bar!"
Ning Guiren was also very compassionate and decided not to pursue the case, otherwise she would never let it go if it were any other beautiful woman.
It's okay if there is no jealousy in the harem, but don't appear in the medicine garden. The only woman who can stand beside His Majesty is her!
"Yes, noble people are kind-hearted!"
Jinxiu stood up quickly. In her opinion, the master was indeed very kind. He usually treated the palace people very well and was very gentle.
It's just that when dealing with His Majesty's affairs, sometimes he does become very extreme, but this is only because the master loves him too much.
But Chu Xin was still sitting and touching her legs, as if she really didn't feel anything.
She was not a fool, so how could she not feel that someone who was serving a beloved concubine came here for some reason?
Then simply show all his flaws. Is such a flaw worthy of the attention of a beloved concubine?
"That Jinxiu is the person next to Ning Guiren. Ning Guiren is also His Majesty's favorite concubine. She has the kindest temperament and is usually quiet. Your Majesty also likes such a quiet and quiet woman the most!"
Qiao Xia sat down and introduced the person just now with a smile. It was precisely because she knew that Ning Guiren was the favorite of His Majesty that she took out the medicinal materials in the medicine garden. If she had been an ordinary concubine, she would not be qualified to use this place. medicine.
"I see. Just seeing how modest and polite the Jinxiu girl was, I can imagine what a gentle and dignified woman Ning Guiren would be."
Chu Xin smiled lightly, but she always felt that the concubines in the harem were not as simple as they appeared on the surface. This was because she had been married before and knew how cruel the fights in the backyard of the harem were.
"I think you are also such a quiet woman. Many times you are very strong. At that time, I thought you would cry and make trouble, but I didn't expect that you would persevere through it."
Qiaoxia looked at her with admiration. In her opinion, the other party was indeed a very strong person.
"It is human nature to survive."
Chu Xin only replied this sentence, yes, human instinct is to want to live, no one is willing to die willingly.
Even if I didn't understand anything in the cold palace when I was a child, I still wanted to survive instinctively. The moment I was pushed to the cliff that day, I also thought about whether I could survive.
Facing the fear of death is really terrible, no one can bear it.
"Qiao Xia, can you tell me what happened in Northern Qi?"
Chu Xin asked intentionally or unintentionally, poured two cups of tea, placed one cup in front of herself, and handed one cup to Qiao Xia.
"That's true. It's nothing serious. It's just that Prince Xiang and his wife are at odds, especially Princess Xiang's jealousy. That's all."
Qiao Xia smiled and replied that she was the person A Yun trusted the most, so she also knew about Chu Xin's life experience.
Especially since I have been with Chu Xin for so long, I naturally want to be on her side no matter what happens. What’s more, Princess Xiang’s reputation doesn’t seem to be very good. It’s easy to think of what happened in the past. thing.
"A woman seems to live like this after she gets married. In fact, Princess Xiang is always said to be jealous. Maybe she always doesn't want other women to share her husband?"
Chu Xin suddenly thought that Chu Yi had sworn in front of her that she would never be jealous, would definitely allow her husband to have other women around her, and would definitely be a generous person.
At that time, would Chu Yi think of today? Will it be the same thing when she actually faces it?
"But she is a princess after all, so she can't let her husband only have one woman for her. Then she loses!"
Qiaoxia said matter-of-factly, in fact, no woman seems to have this ability, and Prince Xiang doesn't have much love for her. Otherwise, how could life be like this?
Even Nanliang can hear some rumors, which shows that the situation of the couple is very serious.
"Did she just lose?"
Chu Xin suddenly felt a very sad emotion in her heart. Could it be that Chu Yi was the only one who lost?
Even if she loses, she is still a serious princess and she is still aloof. The real loser is herself!
If she hadn't met the kind-hearted Dr. Song and his daughter, she would have had to pay the price with her life, and she would have lost completely!
In fact, it is still unfair between people. Even if she makes the same mistake, Chu Yi has a way out. She has nothing and has to pay the price with blood.
Qiao Xia didn't want to talk anymore. She always felt that talking about these sad things was not very good for Chu Xin, so she also introduced the topic to other aspects.
Even if there were difficult things in the past, they are all gone now. Chu Xin must be a very strong person, and one day she will be able to slowly look away!
