Chen Da and Xiaoman came to Hongyue's room together. Looking inside the room, they saw Hongyue lying on the bed with white lips and weak breathing. Xiaoman's tears began to flow.
Looking at the little girl serving beside him, "Sister Hongyue, what's going on?"
The maid immediately bowed to Xiaoman and said, "Miss Xiaoman, Sister Hongyue was sent back at dawn. She fainted when she brought back the news about you."
"I haven't woken up yet."
Xiaoman was not a fool and he knew immediately that Hongyue had indeed followed him, but when he got to the small courtyard there was a master and he was injured.
Chen Da looked at Hongyue on the bed with gratitude, as she sent back his news with injuries. If it weren't for Xiaoman, she wouldn't be like this now. He immediately blamed himself.
If he hadn't been unable to protect Xiaoman, this wouldn't have happened. Seeing Xiaoman crying so sadly, even the man who followed her had red eyes.
The little maid looked at them and said, "Miss Xiaoman, the princess said that Sister Hongyue needs to rest. Now that you have seen her, you can leave first."
When Xiaoman heard this, he stood up and said, "Then please take care of Sister Hongyue. My father and I will go back first."
After the father and daughter left Hongyue's yard, Chen Da looked at Xiaoman and said, "Xiaoman, you should go and rest first. When you wake up, go ask the princess. Hongyue can definitely be saved."
Xiaoman nodded. She was drugged and unconscious all night last night. She still felt a little dizzy, so she went back to her room to rest.
He slept until the evening and woke up. Looking at the sky getting darker outside, Xiaoman rubbed his eyes and got up.
"Dad, what time is it now? Is the princess awake yet?"
Chen Da looked at Xiao Man with a concerned look on his face: "Did you sleep well? I don't know if the princess has woken up yet. You can go to the princess's yard to take a look."
Xiaoman quickly washed up and ran towards the princess's yard. Qian Jiujiu had already gotten up at this time because she had not had time for prenatal education today.
So now Mu Yexiao is playing the piano for Qian Jiujiu, just to increase the future sentiment of the child in her belly. Hongling and others are also watching, but Qingyu is the only one missing.
Because this afternoon, Li Beng came suddenly and said that he wanted to discuss things in the shop with Qingyu. Qingyu had been gone for the whole afternoon.
Hongling was the first one to see Xiaoman. As soon as she saw Xiaoman, she made a hushing gesture to Xiaoman, asking Xiaoman not to disturb Mu Yexiao from playing the piano.
After all, in Hongling's eyes, nothing was more important than the princess's affairs, let alone the child in the princess's belly.
Xiaoman also obediently did not call Qian Jiujiu, but stood with Hongling, asking in a low voice: "Sister Hongling, can Sister Hongyue still be saved?"
Hongling was very pleased to hear Xiaoman mention Hongyue's name. At least this little girl Xiaoman knew Hongyue and cared about her.
"The princess has checked Hongyue. She is not in any danger now, but there are still a few days left. If we can't find the herbs to cure Hongyue, then I'm afraid there is nothing we can do."
When Xiaoman heard this, her eyes became dim. If Sister Hongyue really died, she would definitely feel guilty for the rest of her life, if she hadn't wanted to go see the lanterns.
This kind of thing would not have happened if I had stayed on the flower boat obediently. Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine at this time.
Xiaoman's eyes were red with guilt. Mu Yexiao also put away his zither and looked at Qian Jiujiu: "Okay, Jiuer, have you heard enough?"
Qian Jiujiu pouted: "That's all for today, okay..."
At this point, Qian Jiujiu suddenly saw Xiaoman standing there, and couldn't help but laugh: "Xiaoman, why are you here? I didn't even see you."
Xiaoman saw Qian Jiujiu saw her, and instantly became excited: "Princess, Xiaoman has been here for a while, thank you for saving me again."
As Xiaoman said this, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Qian Jiujiu several times. Qian Jiujiu had saved Xiaoman twice, so Qian Jiujiu did not stop Xiaoman from kowtow.
After waiting for Xiaoman to get up from the ground, Qian Jiujiu looked at Xiaoman and said, "Xiaoman, come here. I have a question for you."
Xiaoman came in front of Qian Jiujiu and looked at her: "What does the princess want to ask?"
Qian Jiujiu paused for a moment, then smiled and looked at Qian Jiujiu: "I want to recognize you as my adopted sister, will you agree?"
Xiaoman was stunned for a moment, thinking that she had heard wrongly. Did the princess want to be her sister? Qian Jiujiu looked at Xiaoman's stunned face and knew that Xiaoman was still digesting this matter.
He didn't disturb Xiaoman, but just waited quietly. After a long while, Xiaoman came back to his senses. Of course, he didn't refuse Qian Jiujiu, but nodded directly.
"Sister Princess, it is definitely my honor to be your stepsister."
Qian Jiujiu burst out laughing: "What honor or not? We will be sisters from now on, but isn't this too easy? Your Majesty, do you think we sisters should swear a blood oath?"
Mu Yexiao rolled his eyes at Qian Jiujiu and said, "Forget it. If you think it's so simple, just hold a banquet and introduce Xiao Man to those people."
Qian Jiujiu thought about it and said: "Okay, I'll prepare and hold a banquet in a few days. What do you think, Xiaoman?"
Xiaoman smiled and looked at Qian Jiujiu: "It's fine if Sister Princess says so. But Sister, I have a question for you. Is Sister Hongyue's injury okay?"
"I heard from Sister Hongling that Sister Hongyue's injury required several medicinal herbs?"
Qian Jiujiu's eyes twinkled, but she didn't hide it from Xiaoman: "Yes, we are short of a few herbs, just aged ginseng and ganoderma lucidum, you don't have to worry."
"The prince has already sent people to buy it. I think we should be able to find it."
Speaking of this, Qian Jiujiu also sighed, and it seemed that she was still very worried about Hongyue's condition. Xiaoman bit her lip and said, "Sister, I want to go to the mountain to find medicinal herbs."
Qian Jiujiu groaned, "But you are still so young, how dangerous is it to go up the mountain? Your father will not agree."
Xiaoman, however, looked determined: "I will convince my father, sister Princess, and I will leave first."
After finishing speaking, Xiaoman left directly. Mu Yexiao glanced at Qian Jiujiu and said, "This girl has a conscience, not bad."
Qian Jiujiu rolled her eyes: "It seems that the banquet really has to wait for a few days, at least until this girl comes back. By the way, Prince, the New Year is over now."
"We can start construction on the yard in Xiaotianzhuang, and we can also start construction on the hot spring villa. Do you have candidates? I want to find a reliable person in Xiaolinzhuang."
"After all, we are working in the mountains. Finding someone familiar should speed up the process."
Mu Yexiao smiled: "You really have a lot of things to do. But did you forget about one person? Chen Da in the side courtyard can be used."
Qian Jiujiu blinked her eyes, not knowing why Mu Yexiao mentioned Chen Da. In fact, Mu Yexiao's mind was very simple. Qian Jiujiu wanted to recognize Xiaoman as her sister.
Then this Chen Da would be Qian Jiujiu's elder, and of course he can be trusted. Moreover, Chen Da is a very nice person and is worthy of help.
After thinking about it, Qian Jiujiu's eyes lit up instantly: "Really? Why didn't I think of this person? It's her, but I'll talk to her in a few days."
"It's not that busy. Let's talk about it in a few days when the weather is better."
Mu Yexiao naturally wouldn't object: "This is good, his leg injury will heal in a few days. If he hadn't been injured again this time, he would have recovered."
After all, Chen Da’s leg was not broken, unlike Mu Yexiao’s, so it has almost recovered now.
Now that he had made up his mind, Qian Jiujiu also let it go. Looking at the dark sky outside, he sighed, "I'm hungry. I'd better eat early."
Seeing that Qian Jiujiu was hungry, Mu Yexiao quickly asked someone to serve the meal, and then accompanied Qian Jiujiu to eat. On the other side, after Xiaoman left, he came to Chen Da's room.
"Dad, I want to discuss something with you."
Chen Da looked at Qian Jiujiu's serious expression and couldn't help but feel puzzled. He touched the back of his head and asked, "What do you want to say to Dad?"
"I asked Sister Princess and found out which herbs Sister Hongyue is missing, so I want to go up the mountain to collect herbs for Sister Hongyue. Dad, didn't you say last time that you knew where there was ginseng in the mountains?"
Chen Da was stunned for a moment, and looked at Xiaoman: "I know, but you should tell the princess that at least one guard should accompany you up the mountain, otherwise I will not tell you the location of the ginseng."
Xiaoman looked at Chen Da: "Okay, I'll go find the princess now."
Qian Jiujiu was eating dinner when she heard Hong Ling say, "Princess, Miss Xiaoman is here."
Hearing that Xiaoman was coming, Qian Jiujiu was still a little puzzled: "Xiaoman is here, but your father doesn't agree with you going up the mountain?"
Xiaoman shook her head: "No, Princess Sister, Daddy knows where there is ginseng on the mountain, and I just want to borrow a guard to go up the mountain with me, is that okay?"
Qian Jiujiu immediately smiled: "Of course you can. How about this, I will let Nanfeng accompany you to the mountain tomorrow. Even if you don't tell me about this, this is my plan."
"You should have a good rest tonight. By the way, have you had dinner? Let's have it together here."
Xiaoman was so happy to get Qian Jiujiu's answer that she had no mood to eat at all. She looked at Qian Jiujiu and said, "Princess, that's not necessary. I'll go find my dad now."
As he spoke, Xiaoman had already gone there quickly, and it was great that he could go up the mountain with Brother Nanfeng.
Qian Jiujiu looked at Xiaoman's anxious look and laughed: "This girl is really impatient."
