Murong Jie took a few steps and saw Zi'an standing under the osmanthus tree. She looked a little embarrassed and felt at a loss for what to do for accidentally interrupting the conversation between the two brothers.
Murong Jie was very comfortable, as if he had never said anything cruel just now, "Are you here?"
"It was King Liang who insisted that I come," Zi'an explained.
"If he doesn't let you come, then you won't come?" Murong Jie frowned and looked at her.
Zi'an held the medicine box and stared at him through the sunlight. Damn, he looked so good today.
"Come, the prince is still my patient."
"Come into the room!" Murong Jie turned and left, and Zi'an hurriedly chased after him. He walked very fast, and she followed him in a hurry, and had no time to look at the scenery along the way.
After entering the room, Murong Jie quickly took off his clothes and sat on the chair. "Please prepare some good medicine. I will drink with King Qi in a while."
"I object!"
"Ineffective!" Murong Jie said bluntly.
Zi'an put down the medicine box and frowned, "The prince is not such an irrational person."
"What does drinking have to do with sanity?"
"Alcohol can affect injuries and slow down healing."
"Will it heal?" Murong Jie raised his head and looked at her with a conflicted look on her face.
Zi'an leaned over to check the scab on the wound, "Maybe..."
"Then stop talking nonsense. You haven't even married her yet, and you're meddling in her affairs."
Zian gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty is the most uncooperative patient I have ever met."
"Because I am not only your patient, but also your fiancé!" He looked at her casually and said leisurely.
Zi'an's face turned slightly red. In order to prevent him from seeing it, he kept his head down and pretended to check the wound.
"You can lie down. It's not convenient for me to check your wound while sitting here." Zi'an changed the subject.
"No need to lie down. Just apply the medicine on. Prince Qi will be here soon." Murong Jie said.
Zi'an had no choice but to bend over and apply the medicine prepared in the suburbs of Beijing to his wound.
The two were very close, his breathing was just above her head, her fingers brushed across his chest... the wound, and she felt his heartbeat which was surprisingly regular.
She felt a little depressed because she felt her heartbeat was irregular.
She hurriedly applied the medicine. To hide her quickened heartbeat and flushed face, she pretended to pack up the medicine box and calmly instructed, "You can't drink alcohol, eat bamboo shoots, eat beef, or anything else that can cause inflammation."
Murong Jie was putting on his clothes while listening to her nagging. Just as he was about to retort, he saw the door suddenly opened and Xiao Tuo's voice rang out excitedly, "Found it, found it, aged daughter's red wine..."
When his eyes met Zi'an, he quickly stopped talking, and held the wine jar tightly in his arms, looking at Zi'an with hostility, "Why are you haunting me?"
“…” Zian was speechless.
"Is your mother okay?" Xiao Tuo carefully put the wine away and asked Zi'an.
Before Zi'an could answer, Murong Jie asked, "What happened?"
"Hasn't Su Qing told you yet? Something happened last night." Xiao Tuo said lightly.
Murong Jie looked at Zi'an, "You say!"
Zi'an packed up his medicine box and recounted what happened last night.
After hearing this, Murong Jie didn't say anything, but just hummed, and then ordered Xiao Tuo, "Send her back, and..."
He asked Xiao Tuo to come over and whispered a few words into his ear.
Xiao Tuo said "oh" and picked up Zi'an's medicine box. "Let's go. We have guests later."
Zi'an glanced at Murong Jie and wanted to give him a few more words of advice, but he felt that it was just nonsense and the man would not listen, so he stopped talking and went out with Xiao Tuo.
When they reached the gate of the mansion, Prince Nan Huai also came out.
He had been watching Zi'an. He knew Xia Zi'an's background very well. He had not taken it seriously before, but it was not easy for him to escape from the hands of two guards, fall off a cliff and come back alive.
And the most important thing is that Murong Jie did not reject her and was willing to marry her as his principal wife.
"Your Highness!" Zi'an bowed slightly. Prince Nan Huai's eyes were very presumptuous, which she didn't like.
"Xia Zian?" King Nan Huai smiled gently, but still did not restrain his gaze, and continued to stare at Zian wantonly.
"Yes!" Zi'an replied.
Xiao Tuo said to Prince Nan Huai: "If your Majesty has nothing to do, I will take her away."
King Nan Huai looked at Xiao Tuo, and seeing that Xiao Tuo actually wanted to protect him, his smile became even more presumptuous and weird, "Okay, go ahead!"
Zi'an bowed again, turned around and left.
As she walked out of the mansion, she still felt King Nan Huai staring at her, and her scalp went numb.
"What did the prince say to you just now?" Zi'an couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Let me find a few people to beat up your father!" Xiao Tuo said expressionlessly.
"..." Forget it. How could the regent ask someone to beat up such a scoundrel
Xiao Tuo sent Zi'an back to the prime minister's residence, and saw that the residence had indeed begun to be decorated with lights and decorations.
Xiao Tuo asked curiously, "The Prime Minister's Mansion is going to sell his daughter again?"
Zi'an glanced at Xiao Tuo unhappily, "Can you be less direct?"
"Everyone knows that Prime Minister Xia is now obsessed with selling his daughter for fame and fortune."
That is true.
"It's the old lady's birthday party, tomorrow!" Zi'an said.
"Oh!" Xiao Tuo said thoughtfully.
After returning home, Zi'an began to examine the cause of Yuan's blindness and talked to her about the birthday party tomorrow.
Nanny Yang sent Shuyu out and said calmly, "Miss, Chen Er has been coming to see Madam Linglong recently."
"Chen Er?" Zi'an narrowed his eyes. Could it be that he was using the same old trick again
Madam Yang said, "I have had people check and found out that Chen Er has some contact with Miss's second aunt Liu. Besides, he is shameless and can be easily dealt with by paying money."
“Is that so…” Zian stretched out the last syllable of the sentence, and had an idea in mind.
Yuan said, "The old lady's time is not tomorrow, but she chose to gather a large group of people tomorrow, so she must be coming for you and me."
"Mother didn't speak for him in the palace, nor was she used by him. He must be holding a grudge against you. Mother, you are innocent, but you are guilty of possessing a treasure. He knows that you have appeal to the scholars. If you can't be used by him, he will definitely not let you live for others to use." Zi'an analyzed quickly.
Nanny Yang said, "There is one more thing. The divorce letter thrown out at the door of the prime minister's residence that day was equivalent to exposing the prime minister's residence naked in the sun for everyone to point fingers at. Therefore, if he wants to get rid of his wife, he will definitely start from here. Only when it is confirmed that his wife is as described in the divorce letter, can the prime minister put on his clothes one by one and continue to be his prime minister with a high-sounding reputation."
"So, they will continue to use Chen Er, because Chen Er often comes to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the servants in the mansion know it."
"That's right, Chen Er can be bribed with money, and..." Nanny Yang said softly, "Miss, you can check what happened between Chen Er and Madam Linglong in the past. There must be someone in the capital who knows about it."
Zi'an understood what he meant. She had suspected this before, but had no evidence to confirm it.
Yuan suddenly said something shocking, "Xia Wan'er and Linlin are probably not his children."
