C114 White Lotus
Mu Ruqing returned to her room and saw Lingyue and Xiangyi's angry look. She asked Mei to take off her cloak and surround the charcoal fire. She rubbed her hands and let out a breath, "What happened to you guys?"
"Princess, today the Royal Highness brought a female from outside the residence and said that her father sold her to a brothel. The Royal Highness passed by and saw Ke Ling, so he bought her back. Just now, Lingyue and I secretly went to take a look. She looked like a fox. His Royal Highness even personally fed her medicine, and even said that he was guarding her there tonight." Xiangyi always had a quick mouth and a straightforward intestines. She could not hide anything.
When they were in the Prime Minister Estate, because Xiangyi liked Yuan Zhen, Yuan Zhen only saw Mu Ruqing in his heart. That was why she was somewhat dissatisfied with Mu Ruqing. Mu Ruqing knew about it but still tolerated her. Now that she had married into the Imperial Residence, her heart had also died. She only wanted to serve Mu Ruqing wholeheartedly and see who would harm Mu Ruqing. Naturally, he did not like it.
" Oh. Is she beautiful? But who does she look like?" Mu Ruqing warmed up her hands and asked Lingyue for a cup of tea.
"Not as pretty as the Princess." Xiangyi also came over, "Thinking about it now, I actually miss the Princess."
"Like me?" Mu Ruqing wanted to tease her and pretended to be angry as she asked, "You mean, I am also like a fox?"
"Princess, I... I don't mean that. It was this servant who said it wrongly!" Xiangyi panicked and hurriedly explained. For a moment, she did not know how to explain.
"Alright, alright. I was just teasing you. Why did you take it seriously?" Mu Ruqing saw her panicked look and laughed together with Lingyue and Mei.
Xiangyi actually became sad. She pouted and turned her face away, "I am angry for the Princess and the Princess teased me. The Emperor is really not in a hurry to supervise!"
Mu Ruqing pulled her hand and her voice was soft as she said with her eyes, "Don't be angry. It will not look good if such a beautiful face is angry."
" It just so happens that the Princess does not like to argue. " Xiangyi placed her hand on Mu Ruqing's hand and still smiled.
"There is no hurry. If it is yours, then it is yours. What is the use of fighting if it is not you?" Mu Ruqing was open-minded and saw the rectangular pastries that Mei brought over. Her hands started to itch and she suddenly thought of a gambling method in the original world.
When she thought of it, she did it. She asked Lingyue to bring the brush and ink over and draw the blueprint.
Since Yu Longchen did not come to his room tonight, Mu Ruqing slept much more peacefully. He only dreamed of Lau Fenglan, and Lau Fenglan's face seemed to have been ripped off. Only the uneven blood red sarcoma was left. Her facial features seemed to have been chiseled out from the inside with an awl. If one did not look carefully, one would not be able to find where it was...
Mu Ruqing woke up the next day in a daze. She had a headache and her throat was dry. Once she spoke, she felt itchy. She pinched her neck and touched her head. She felt a little helpless, "Do I have to dream about those people when I get hot?"
"Lingyue... Xiangyi... Cough cough." Mu Ruqing's voice was hoarse. After saying a few words, she started to cough, "Mei..."
"Princess, what's wrong?" When the three of them heard her voice, they suddenly felt that something was wrong. Could it be that she was sick again?
"Give me the cup of tea." Mu Ruqing pointed at the tea on the table. Her body was weak and weak, and she almost fell out of the bed.
Lingyue reacted quickly and supported her. She touched her forehead and it was indeed hot. She said worriedly, "Xiangyi, go and invite Imperial Physician Gu over. The princess is sick." It was Mu Ruqing who taught her to use the head to check her body temperature.
"Okay." Xiangyi went out the door and Mei brought water over. Mu Ruqing applied the wet towel a few times before feeling more comfortable.
Imperial Physician Gu took Mu Ruqing's pulse and gave her a prescription. It was just an ordinary cold. Lingyue let out a sigh of relief. This was still okay. It was just like in the Prime Minister's residence in the past when she was poisoned. It was really worrying.
Mu Ruqing laid on the bed and casually drank a bowl of porridge. It should be that she took off her clothes yesterday and wore it for a while. She had suffered some wind and had stayed up late last night... Looking outside the door, it was unknown what she was waiting for.
Xiangyi was also looking at the door and Mu Ruqing felt that it was a little funny, "Waiting for who?"
"Wang Fei, I have already sent someone to inform the Royal Highness about your illness. Why hasn't he come yet?" Xiangyi pulled the handkerchief and frowned as she grumbled.
"Don't think about it anymore. Quickly come over." Mu Ruqing waved at her with a face full of comfort.
"Wang Fei, do you see that fox..." Xiangyi covered her mouth and quickly changed her words, "It's all her... That's why the Royal Highness..."
"No, no, no." Mu Ruqing interrupted her," You are wrong. That is not her fault. Perhaps the Royal Highness likes her soft and weak appearance. As the saying goes, a husband has feelings for a concubine."
"Princess... That is your husband!" Xiangyi was disappointed and stomped her feet. Which woman did not want her husband to only love her? Why did it change when it came to their princess?
"But my husband is the prince. Cough cough." Mu Ruqing felt somewhat helpless as she pulled the blanket and coughed a few times.
Xiangyi went forward and patted her back, "Princess, you should recover first."
"After you drink the medicine later, your body will be more comfortable. Bring me to see the woman that the Royal Highness saved."
"No, Princess needs to recuperate first."
As she spoke, Lingyue carried the medicine back. "What are you talking about? Wang Fei, drink the medicine first."
Xiangyi retreated behind the bed and watched Lingyue feed her the medicine.
Mu Ruqing took the medicine and slept for two hours but she really could not sleep anymore. She got up and let the three of them change her clothes. She did not care about the three of them dissuading her and insisted on going to see that woman. She even specially put on light makeup to cover up her illness.
The few of them came to the courtyard and Changxu stood guard at the door. When he saw Mu Ruqing, he felt a little ashamed. After all, she was saved by Yu Longchen. He also did not expect that Yu Longchen would protect that woman like this...
"Greetings, Princess!" With shame in his tone, Changxu did not dare to look at Mu Ruqing.
Mu Ruqing smiled amiably and her voice was still somewhat hoarse. "No need. Is the prince inside?"
"Yes."
"I will go in and take a look. " After saying that, she entered the house. Xiangyi stayed behind. During the time she came to the Imperial Residence, she had become somewhat familiar with Changxu. She pulled him along and asked him about this and that.
Mu Ruqing did not care about her and let her do as she pleased.
This courtyard was the one that Yu Longchen often stayed in, so he was willing to let her go. When Mu Ruqing entered, Yu Longchen was feeding that woman medicine.
He raised his eyes to size her up and looked at her. Under the eyebrows of Liu Ye, there was tenderness in his peach blossom eyes. Under his straight nose, his thin lips were a little dry and cracked, and his oval face was just right. It was not too beautiful. Just one look was enough to make people unable to move their eyes away. In addition to her delicate body that was like a reed, it actually made people want to take good care of her. I can't believe I feel the same way, let alone Yu Longchen. Mu Ruqing purposely lowered her voice so that no one could hear anything unusual, "I pay my respects to Your Highness."
Yu Longchen focused on feeding the woman the medicine. The woman also looked at Yu Longchen admiringly and did not see Mu Ruqing come in.
"Oh, Princess, you are here. This is Miss White Lotus. The King of Japan saved her yesterday." Yu Longchen did not turn his head. Instead, he blew the medicine and fed it to her mouth. He even asked softly, "Is it hot?"
White Lotus shook her head and looked at Mu Ruqing with some fear. She moved her body. Yu Longchen stopped her and told her not to move. White Lotus could only lie on the bed and lower her head. Her voice was like a cloud, soft and penetrating into one's heart. "White Lotus is not able to get off the bed and greet the princess because of her poor health. I hope the Princess can forgive me. "
"It's fine, Miss, take a good rest. This Princess also heard that your body is weak and thought that I have some tonics over there, so I sent some over to you" Mu Ruqing replied with a smile and waved her hand. Mei brought the ginseng over.
"White Lotus thanks wangfei." White Lotus did not move and placed her hands in front of her abdomen and bent over.
"The Princess is also sick. Go back and have a good rest." Yu Longchen turned his head and said coldly. It was unknown whether he was going to ask her to leave or comfort her.
Mu Ruqing did not care and blessed herself. "Miss, take good care of yourself."
"Farewell, Princess..."
Mu Ruqing walked out and heard Yu Longchen's worried tone, "Your body is weak, lie down properly..."
