Xiao Concubine shuddered, and after being immersed in the water for half an hour, the flush on her face gradually faded, and she became paler and paler.
But Zhao Zun's body was tense, and when he lowered his head and saw Xiao Concubine's pitiful appearance, his heart softened immediately.
Swimming to the shore with Xiao Concubine in his arms, he wrapped Xiao Concubine's figure carefully, and raised his voice to call the servant girl, "Prepare hot water and wait for Miss to take a bath and change clothes."
"yes!"
Zhao Zunyi turned around and left Zhongling Pavilion, his whole body still hot, plunged into the water to continue soaking, and directed at Zhao Qidao.
"Go ask the rotten one."
Soon Ye Xiuzhi rushed over and stretched out his hand to feel Zhao Zun's pulse.
"How is the master?" Zhao Qi asked anxiously, how could he be plotted against after going out for a while.
Ye Xiuzhi touched his chin, "It's not difficult, just find a woman to solve it."
"Woman?" Zhao Qi was confused, "Didn't Master Cai just bring Miss Xiao back?"
Ye Xiuzhi was even more surprised, and looked at Zhao Zun in disbelief.
Zhao Zun pursed his lips, with a gloomy face, "I don't need a woman, let's give the needle."
Ye Xiuzhi didn't dare to say more, and quickly administered acupuncture to detoxify Zhao Zun. After more than two hours, the disordered heat in Zhao Zun's body gradually subsided, and his complexion remained normal.
"Why do you have to suffer this crime?" Ye Xiuzhi closed his needle, sighed and shook his head.
The love potion in Zhao Zun's body has been suffocated for more than three hours. If ordinary people can't bear it long ago, they can still sit still while hugging a woman tightly. If Ye Xiuzhi didn't know Zhao Zun's body, he would mistakenly believe the rumors from the outside world It's true.
With a splash, Zhao Zuncong stood up from the water, his whole body was dripping wet, and there was a layer of fine beads of sweat on his forehead.
With a tense face, Ye Xiuzhi squinted his eyes, "A pair of prescriptions for typhoid fever will be sent to Zhongling Pavilion in a while."
Ye Xiuzhi nodded.
Seeing Zhao Zun's leaving back, Ye Xiuzhi glanced at Zhao Qi, "It seems that the master is really emotional, comparable to Liu Xiahui."
The corner of Zhao Qi's mouth twitched.
Xiao Concubine fell into a drowsy sleep for more than two hours. When she heard the movement, she opened her eyes and looked sleepily at the person in front of the bed.
Zhao Zun touched Xiao Concubine's head, it was slightly hot, and carefully helped Xiao Concubine to sit up, "Drink the medicine, and it will be fine if you sweat."
Xiao Concubine nodded, poured more than half of a large bowl of bitter concoction into her mouth, and ate a full plate of candied fruit before giving up.
Zhao Zun couldn't help laughing, and drank the remaining medicinal juice in the bowl in one gulp, without frowning, as if drinking water.
Xiao Concubine leaned limply on Zhao Zun's body, picked up a candied fruit with one hand and handed it to Zhao Zun's lips.
Zhao Zun was stunned, opened his mouth and bit it, a sweet taste spread in his mouth, his chest seemed to be full.
Miss Xiao sniffled, "I thought you were lying to me by donating a large sum of money to the court to silence the emperor and the queen mother, and you were the one who came up with that bad idea. It's too coincidental, so Only then... "
Zhao Zun pinched Xiao Concubine's fingertips with two fingers. They were round, plump, slender and fair. He couldn't put it down and started playing. He felt sorry for this silly girl, and he told the truth in a few words. My anger is gone.
"What was the result after the trial?"
Xiao Concubine raised her eyes, "Of course I believe you, but the eldest prince is not a good person, you have to be careful."
The smile in Zhao Zun's eyes deepened, "Don't worry, I won't let you be wronged."
"But if it wasn't for your bad idea, my father wouldn't have punished me a hundred times over the house rules. I can't leave the room for more than half a month, and I don't necessarily finish writing without sleeping or resting. Besides, today is another day of delay. I should go back."
As she said that, Xiao Concubine was about to struggle to get off the ground, her limp body couldn't stand still.
Zhao Zun hugged Concubine Xiao, "Since this matter is my fault, I should share half of it for you, how about it?"
Xiao Yu's eyes lit up, "Really?"
Zhao Zun nodded.
"You will also be the son-in-law of the Xiao family in the future. There is nothing wrong with showing you the family rules. I will ask the servant girl to bring them to you later."
"Let's go later." Zhao Zun became more and more reluctant to let the person in front of him leave his sight. "Last time, the two maidservants were fine. I found two new ones for you. You are not allowed to give them away."
Xiao Yu's eyes became brighter, she nodded sharply, "Definitely not."
The two dawdled for a while, Xiao Concubine twisted and turned restlessly, Zhao Zun's extinguished fire gradually ignited, hugged Xiao Concubine and kissed and kissed again and again.
Concubine Xiao was in a hurry to go back to the theater, and begged Zhao Zun for a while, Zhao Zun let go of his arms in discouragement, "Take a good rest these few days, don't be too tired, I have to deal with the family rules."
Concubine Xiao nodded, and took away two maidservants before leaving, one called Qing Yang and the other called Qing Yu.
Xiao Concubine was helped out of the carriage, Hong Xiu had been waiting at the gate, and when she saw Xiao Concubine, she hurried over to meet her.
"Miss, are you all right?"
Concubine Xiao shook her head, "It's okay, it's okay, just tell me what happened."
Hongxiu nodded, "Missy is at the old lady's place now, and madam is so angry that she wants to drive Missy out of the house."
The cabin was on fire, Xiao Ying and the First Prince shouted in a panic, and when they got ashore, their disheveled clothes fell into the eyes of many people, it was simply immoral.
The eldest prince flung his sleeves away angrily, while Xiao Ying was scolded all the way into the right minister's mansion under the guidance of others.
"Miss Jiu, Madam, please go over there."
After walking a few steps, Concubine Xiao was robbed.
Xiao Ying knelt in the hall, crying sadly and desperately, "Grandma, this is a misunderstanding and someone is hurting me."
"Harming you? Your own legs can't be controlled by others. It's shameless to have private meetings with men in broad daylight!"
Mrs. Xiao's eyes widened angrily, her chest heaved up and down.
"Grandma, at that time the cabin next door was Xiaojiu, and the situation was chaotic. The eldest prince was here to save me, not what everyone imagined. I went to the boat to save the face of the Prime Minister and avoid suspicion. The painting boat caught fire, and that’s why today’s scene happened.”
Xiao Ying spoke convincingly, and she held on tightly to Xiao Concubine.
"Nonsense!" Concubine Xiao looked at Mrs. Xiao with a sullen face, "Grandmother, I have never been to a boat, my eldest sister is lying!"
Xiao Ying sneered, "Eldest Prince and I both witnessed that, Xiao Jiu, you hosted a banquet and invited a man, and the boat floated in the middle of the water and accidentally knocked down the candlestick, causing a big fire."
"I remember you were wearing a goose yellow dress before you left, but now it has turned into light green!"
Xiao Ying was sure that the next door was Concubine Xiao, and her maid saw Concubine Xiao go to the boat with her own eyes, and a man was also there, the two of them must be having a tryst!
Xiao Ying sneered, Xiao Concubine had worn this pitiful mask for so long, it was time to take it off.
Mrs. Xiao frowned and looked at Concubine Xiao.
"Grandmother, my dress was scratched when I went out, so I replaced it with a new one." After Xiao Concubine finished speaking, the red sleeves immediately held the goose-yellow dress that was scratched at first sight.
Xiao Concubine looked at Xiao Ying again, "I've been eating wine and wine all this time, and I even brought back some freshly baked dishes for my grandmother. Why did Big Sister wrong me?"
As she spoke, a servant behind her brought up a food box, and when the lid was opened, there was a rush of hot air, which was prepared by Zhao Zun for her.
Xiao Ying sneered, "Xiao Jiu, why do you lie, now that you and Lord Zhao are married, you are openly going out and about with other men, even though Lord Zhao has some physical defects, you can't be so confident!"
"I clearly saw you and Hongxiu went to the boat. I wanted to say hello and remind you, but the clinker suddenly caught fire. Not only that, my maid also saw it. Why use this little trick to make a fool of yourself? I'm kind enough to persuade you."
Xiao Ying didn't believe Xiao Concubine's words at all, so Xiao Concubine asked back, "It doesn't matter if you believe it or not, it's just that you and the First Prince don't know each other well. Where is the face?"
Xiao Ying's face turned pale, just for this one battle, the position of the First Concubine was forgotten, Xiao Ying gritted her teeth full of hatred.
"You and I are both sisters, why do you hurt me like this?"
Concubine Xiao smiled contemptuously, "Just because I am a concubine's daughter and you are a concubine's daughter, I have not been moved by the eldest prince's proposals to marry me several times. There is no conflict between you and me, so why bother with you?"
"You!" Xiao Ying clenched her fists tightly. Xiao Ying provoked and humiliated her so openly, Xiao Ying couldn't suppress the resentment in her heart, and almost rushed out to strangle Xiao Concubine to death.
"Is Xiaojiu guilty? The relationship between me and the eldest prince has long been destined, but you, who just issued the imperial decree, dared to violate the sacred will later, and ran to a private meeting with the man regardless of the life and death of the prime minister. Shame!"
Xiao Ying insisted that Concubine Xiao was shameless, and the maid said that the man was very handsome, so it must have been a while. No wonder Concubine Xiao had loved the Third Prince for so many years, and changed her mind overnight that she would never marry the Third Prince.
Concubine Xiao smiled angrily, "What proof do you have that you dare to bite here?"
