MTL - Dressed As a Consort In Ancient Times-Chapter 73
That poor little guy just barely managed to say "You guys are just playing around, and you're ignoring me at all".
Jiang Libai turned her head to look, and almost laughed out loud: "Look at her, when we coaxed her, she cried sadly. When we stopped coaxing her, she stopped crying."
As he spoke, he lightly tapped Little Xingxing's chubby face with his fingers, "You really are a tsundere!"
Xing Xing didn't understand what her mother was saying, but seeing her smile on her face and stroking her little face with warm hands, she thought her mother was going to play with her, so she grinned again. Opened his mouth and laughed happily.
…
Seeing that it was getting late, it was time to wash up and rest.
Jiang Libai picked up Xing Xing and prepared to hand it to the nanny outside the house to take it back.
Gu Yun was beside her, taking care of their mother and daughter carefully. When she came to the door, she pulled the latch, opened the door first, and then quietly retreated to the corner, hiding her figure in the shadows.
The nanny waiting outside the door heard the movement, bowed her head and walked over quickly with a wink, and gently took the soft little princess from the arms of the seventh princess.
The lights are bright and the night is drunk.
Watching the nanny and her group leave, Jiang Libai stretched her eyebrows, turned and walked into the room.
With the warm orange light, she saw Gu Yun standing behind the door, and immediately felt a little funny: "What are you doing there? You look so wronged, as if I don't want you to follow."
The bright smile on the girl's face made Gu Yun pause, then she hugged the girl's slender waist and patted her upturned buttocks lightly, "What are you talking about! I haven't been out for a long time Now, I almost don’t know what’s going on outside.”
Seeing that the girl's face was flushed, she switched to patting and rubbing, and said softly: "Princess, how long will it take for my family to 'completely recover'?"
These days, she has nothing to do with arson. Right now, everyone in the court is focusing on Yun Guo, and they have almost forgotten about her, the poisoned Seventh Prince Consort.
I just don't know if she can 'heal' silently under such circumstances?
"We have to wait." Jiang Libai shyly grabbed Gu Yun's troublesome hand.
Although she has done all kinds of intimate things with Gu Yun, **** slapping... It's a shame!
But Gu Yun still lingered in the warmth of his palm just now, reluctant to leave. She simply bent down and hugged Seventh Princess, and when she came to the bed, she sat sideways on her lap.
"How long will we have to wait?"
The dry voice already contained traces of emotion, low and gentle, like the melting snow on the top of the mountain, and the converging river flowed slowly from the tip of Jiang Libai's heart.
"The Ministry of Punishment gave you the news that the people of Yunguo poisoned you, but my heart is always in a state of turmoil. I think you should not 'cure' so quickly, at least after the limelight passes, it will not be too late for you to show up again." .”
At this time of the limelight, although Gu Yun's suspicions were gone, Jiang Libai was afraid that something messed up would happen again, which would make Gu Yun suffer again.
Seeing that the Seventh Princess didn't want her to show up to take risks, and Gu Yun was not entangled, he stopped talking about this topic.
The night is getting deeper, and there is already a hint of coolness in the wind blowing outside the window.
"Princess, it will be your birthday tomorrow, right?" After putting Jiang Libai under the quilt, Gu Yun tucked in the corner of the quilt for her, and slept sideways on a soft pillow with her.
The Seventh Princess is born on the tenth day of the eighth lunar month. Today is the eighth day of the eighth month. Seeing that the day is approaching, the ring that Gu Yun planned to polish has not yet been finished, but the hairpin is coming soon. Hurry up and polish it in these two days It should be able to make it before the birthday.
Jiang Li's white cherry lips were lightly pursed, and under the slender eyelashes, those moist eyes flickered like stars in the sky, dazzling and intoxicating.
"Yes, the day after tomorrow is my birthday." She still remembered that Gu Yun asked her what kind of birthday gift she wanted, and she didn't know... what Gu Yun would give her.
However, because of the arson incident, Gu Yun was imprisoned for a long time, and after a long delay, she really
Did you choose a birthday gift for her?
The candles flickering in the room, flickering and flickering on the bed with gauze curtains, the undulating figure inside became extremely hazy.
Jiang Libai stretched out her hand, touched Gu Yun's thin chin lightly, and then smiled softly in her eyes that changed in an instant: "So what birthday gift are you going to give me?"
The clear and faint candlelight fell on the delicate cheeks of the seventh princess through the thin veil, and the slightly trembling eyelashes cast a shadow on it. The jumping light and shadow were like spirits in the forest, which almost made people forget took a breath.
Gu Yun has seen the beauty of the seventh princess at different times and styles, but she still feels that no matter when she sees the seventh princess, she will still linger in her beauty, and she is not willing to look away for a moment...
The moment the candle was burnt out, she lifted the Seventh Princess's delicate chin, and slowly kissed the crow-feathered eyes with her thin lips.
"I'll tell you when the time comes." After the kiss was over, the fiery lips parted slightly, and after a vague response, they slowly moved down to enclose the tender lips.
The night is still long, and the warmth in the house is slowly blooming...
…
In the dark night, some people sleep with their necks crossed, while others cannot sleep alone.
In the unlit room, two vague figures sat opposite each other, not saying a word in the long night.
After a long time, a soft but sharp voice sounded: "Next, just continue to follow the plan."
The figure of another man swayed slightly, then lowered his head and said yes.
the next day.
On a sunny morning, the chirping of birds woke up the sleeping Jiang Libai and Gu Yun.
The two lingered on the bed for a long time, and finally got up under Chunxi's urging again and again.
The door opened, and after entering the room with a set of toilet utensils, a few maids followed the rules, lowered their brows and eyes, and did not dare to look around.
Jiang Libai yawned lazily, took the towel handed over by Chunxi and wiped her face, and when she was about to rinse her mouth, she saw Chunxi hesitated to speak out of the corner of her eye.
Waking up from a doze all morning, she washed her fingers and asked Chunxi, "What's the matter?"
The Seventh Princess took the initiative to ask, Chunxi looked at her expression, and then whispered what happened last night in her ear, "...the escaped Yun people didn't give up, they changed their disguises and walked into the third prince's house In the palace with the fifth prince... the incident happened suddenly, both the third prince and the fifth prince were seriously injured, but fortunately they were discovered in time, the third prince's fate was saved, but the fifth prince..."
What? !
Both Jiang Heng and Jiang Wei were assassinated? Did such a big thing happen last night? !
Besides, according to what Chunxi meant, Jiang Wei was only in danger of his life? ? ?
"What happened to the fifth prince?!"
Chun Xi pondered for a while before hesitatingly opened his mouth: "The fifth prince has lost a lot of blood... The imperial physician has been guarding the Qixiang Palace for a long time, but there has been no news, so... so the servants don't know too much about the fifth prince. Can the prince..."
In fact, what Chunxi said was a bit conservative.
When Jiang Wei was assassinated last night, the thief stabbed a dagger into his left chest. Not only did he lose a lot of blood, but the location of the stab was very tricky, and he missed his heart with just one finger...
This is where many imperial physicians find it difficult.
"Princess! Don't worry too much. No news right now is the best news..." Chunxi was afraid that the Seventh Princess would not be able to bear the grief of worrying about her younger brother's life before her son-in-law got better, so he hurriedly supported her.
Jiang Libai was very anxious, and before breakfast was served, she ordered the wooden oars to prepare the carriage for the palace.
She returned to the inner room, briefly explained Jiang Wei's situation to Gu Yun who hadn't got up yet, and hurried into the palace.
Jiang Wei is not yet a weak crown, nor married, so he still lives in the palace.
Logically speaking, the palace is heavily guarded, especially the residence of the prince, there are waves of guards, how could a thief appear to assassinate him, and still win? !
This is simply not paying attention to the many royal guards!
Anxious and angry Jiang Libai had just arrived at the gate of the palace when she was led to Qixiang Hall by the responders.
It was already noon, and it was almost time for lunch. As soon as she stepped in, she saw the figure of her mother and concubine.
"Mother and Concubine, how is Xiao Wu?"
Concubine Yuan Gui has been guarding here most of the night, but there has been no news, she is exhausted.
Rubbing the center of her brows, there was already an unconcealable pain in her eyes.
"The imperial doctor hasn't come out..." But she didn't want to continue to show a weak appearance in front of her daughter, so she cheered up again, pulled the corners of her mouth, and showed an almost invisible smile, "But Xiao Wu has always been in good health, As long as you stop the bleeding, you should be fine..."
Jiang Libai was startled by the paleness of her concubine mother's face, she rushed to her side and held her hand.
The cold temperature came from her palm, and she felt very uncomfortable.
"Concubine Mu, you have been guarding Xiao Wu here for a long time, right?" She put those hands to her mouth, took a few breaths, and tried to warm them up.
"You go and rest for a while. Xiaowu has a servant guarding here. Whenever there is news, let Chunxi pass it to the Changchun Palace, okay?"
Concubine Yuan Gui shook her head, turned her head to look at the inner room where the door had been closed tightly, the worry in her eyes could not be hidden.
"Mother Concubine." Jiang Libai sighed softly, trying to persuade her worried mother, "You also said that Xiao Wu will be fine. So you go to rest first and get enough energy, okay?"
"Xiao Wu and Erchen are still waiting for you, who is full of energy, to shelter us from the wind and rain..."
Finally, under Jiang Libai's repeated persuasion, Concubine Yuan Gui decided to go back and rest for a while.
This made Jiang Libai heave a sigh of relief. After seeing off the exhausted mother and concubine, she turned and returned to the palace, quietly listening to the reply from Chun Xi who had just gone to inquire about the news.
But there is nothing more subtle, that is, the words Chunxi had said to her in the morning.
She closed her eyes, waiting for the news from the inner room.
…
As the evening approached, the imperial physicians with haggard faces but clear eyes finally opened the door and came out.
Then came the good news that the fifth prince was finally free of his life.
"...The Fifth Prince was injured in his heart and lost a lot of blood. Although he has been rescued, he will have to recuperate properly in the future, and..."
In front of everyone, Imperial Physician Zhao did not continue to say the rest.
"Aside from recuperating well, what else should I do?" Jiang Libai asked.
Physician Zhao looked around, Jiang Libai understood what he meant, and then waved to the other court ladies and eunuchs waiting in the room, sending them away.
"After this ordeal, the fifth prince's body suffered a lot, and I'm afraid he may suffer from sequelae..."
Hearing this, Jiang Libai's face turned pale in an instant.
There will be sequelae in the future... That is to say, Xiao Wu's body may be so useless?
"He's only sixteen, he's in good health, why can't he recover?!"
Doctor Zhao knew that the Seventh Princess might find it difficult to accept this fact, just as she couldn't accept the fact that the Seventh Son-in-law's poisoning was too serious to be cured before.
Thinking of this, he was also afraid that the seventh princess would not be able to withstand the successive blows, so he said more tactfully: "It's just a possibility. If it is carefully nursed, maybe it can return to its previous health..."
These words echoed in Jiang Libai's mind, hitting her heart all the time, making her feel extremely uncomfortable.
She closed her eyes, raised her hand and waved away Doctor Zhao.
After seeing Jiang Wei bandaging the wound and falling asleep on the bed, Jiang Li turned and walked out of Qixiang Hall with white eyebrows and condensed eyes.
