Murong Jie sat calmly, holding a cup of hot tea in his hand, watching Zi'an walk towards him step by step with a medicine box on his back.
The scars on her face had faded a lot, but they could still be seen clearly under the penetrating sunlight.
But the light in his eyes became more energetic, which made people feel very comfortable.
Zi'an looked at five grown men crowded in a pavilion and felt like laughing.
Moreover, Xiao Tuo looked very angry, as if he was being bullied.
"Hey, are you drinking some wine?" Zhuangzhuang walked over, smelled the alcohol in the air, and said with a smile.
"No, I'm drinking tea." Murong Jie said calmly, his eyes already on Zi'an's face, "You came so early in the morning?"
"Yes, I was originally going to Prince Liang's mansion, but when I learned that Prince Liang was here, I came here." Zi'an put down the medicine box on the stone table and looked at the steaming tea in everyone's cups.
"Isn't this Chen Liuliu?" Su Qing looked at Liuliu and asked in surprise, "Why are you here too?"
Chen Liuliu's face turned green. She didn't expect Su Qing to be here. Su Qing was familiar with her brothers and had come to the house and seen her several times.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Tuo raised his head and stared at Chen Liuliu with wide eyes.
When Liu Liu saw Xiao Tuo up close, she was immediately fascinated. She stepped forward shyly and said, "Brother Xiao Tuo, I'm Chen Liu Liu, and my grandmother told me to marry you."
Xiao Tuo's jaw almost dropped to the ground. He turned his head and drank the boiling hot tea in one gulp. It was so hot that he almost cried.
Seeing him like this, Chen Liuliu became anxious and stepped forward and said, “I know you don’t like girls with swords. I will learn embroidery in the future.”
Xiao Tuo's face turned red, he gritted his teeth and wanted to say something cruel to Chen Liuliu, but when he saw her eyes wide open, her two black eyes were particularly beautiful, her fair face had dimples, her pearly teeth gently biting her lower lip, and she looked very aggrieved, he couldn't say anything.
Su Qing looked at Chen Liuliu, then at Xiao Tuo, and then said, "Doctor Xia, are you going to give the prince of Liang acupuncture? And your lord, it's time to apply medicine to your scabby wounds. Let them all go."
Xiao Tuo stood up and ran away with a whoosh.
Chen Liuliu looked at his back and murmured, "Brother Xiao's running posture is also so beautiful!"
Murong Jie stood up expressionlessly and said to Zi'an, "You help me apply the medicine first."
"I went first, I went first." King Liang stood up and argued.
Murong Zhuangzhuang pressed down on King Liang's shoulders and said, "Sit down. I want to talk to you about important matters in life."
King Liang said with embarrassment: "Life events? Yours? What life events do you have?"
"This is a major event in your life. Don't think that I don't know. Are you planning to marry a princess casually to deal with your mother? If you don't want the position of the principal wife, it's better to have nothing than to have someone who is not qualified." Murong Zhuangzhuang warned.
"Hmm?" King Liang glanced at her calmly, "I don't know what you want to say."
"You know exactly what I want to say. If you hadn't gone crazy and wanted to marry Xia Wan'er this time, there wouldn't have been so many things going on. The Xiangfu is taking advantage of this and becoming more and more shameless. You should keep an eye on the Crown Prince, he might cause another scene for you."
Prince Liang shrugged, "At that time, I didn't expect the Prime Minister's Mansion to be so shameless."
Murong Zhuangzhuang said: "No one would have thought that the Prime Minister of our Great Zhou would be such a person. If it weren't for this incident, I'm afraid no one would know his true face."
Su Qing smiled and said, "Now everyone knows that Xia Wan'er is not his biological daughter, but he let that Doctor Li spread the word outside, saying that Chen Linglong's previous pregnancy had a miscarriage, and that Xia Wan'er is his biological daughter. He whitewashed the truth like this, and really thought others were fools, but he didn't know that others thought he was a fool."
Murong Zhuangzhuang said calmly, "Gossip is temporary, wealth is forever. He is not a fool, he is smart. With Xia Wan'er as his daughter, she will become the Crown Princess. When the Crown Prince ascends the throne, he will be the father-in-law of the emperor. His future is limitless, and the Xia family will also rise to prominence. As for whether she is his biological daughter, who cares? He doesn't care."
King Liang smiled lightly and said nonchalantly: "Whoever wants to fight can do so. I don't want to get involved in anything now. Drink when you should drink, and hike when you should hike."
"You, just give in to everything. There will be a time when you will cry!"
Liu Liu felt bored listening to the conversation between the two. She looked up at Su Qing and said, "Come with me to find Brother Xiao Tuo."
"He doesn't like to interact with women, so you'd better not disturb him." Su Qing didn't dare to take her there. Xiao Tuo was not a human being when he got angry.
Liu Liu felt very frustrated. If Xiao Tuo didn't want to have contact with women, how could she sleep with him and force him to marry her
Murong Jie entered the room and started taking off his clothes without any nonsense.
Zi'an entered the room and opened the medicine box. The two of them moved in unison, you didn't look at me, I didn't look at you. After getting ready, he lay on the couch or sat on the chair, waiting for her to come over to treat the wound.
The wound has scabbed over and some parts have started to fall off, revealing pink scars. As for the deeper wounds, the scabs are not very good and there is still some redness around them, which is a sign that the inflammation has not been eliminated.
Zi'an frowned, "I saw the wound was about to scab over, why is it still red?"
"How would I know? I'm not watching it all the time." Murong Jie felt that her question was unreasonable.
"You haven't violated any of the taboos I told you to do, right?" Zi'an raised his head and looked at him suspiciously.
"Drinking? No, I haven't drunk for a long time." Murong Jie shook his head and said, "As for the list of forbidden foods you wrote to Ni Rong, I haven't eaten them either. I have always told him to eat light food."
Ni Rong, who was standing at the door, had a blank expression on his face. The prince was becoming more and more shameless, daring to talk nonsense like that. Since returning to the palace, not a single meal had been light or without wine. The night he drank with Prince Qi, he was drunk like a pig and had to be carried back by several people.
Zi'an rolled his eyes at him, "My nose isn't blocked, I can smell alcohol on you."
"Smell of alcohol?" Murong Jie sniffed his sleeve suspiciously, "Is there any? Eh? There really is. What's going on? I didn't drink alcohol."
"It's the strong smell of burning knife." Zi'an said confidently.
Murong Jie looked puzzled. "That's impossible. There's no way the palace has Shaodaozi. A cheap liquor like Shaodaozi can't even enter the palace."
He frowned and thought for a moment, then suddenly patted the armrest of the chaise longue, "Oh, by the way, I told Ni Rong to soak all of my clothes in Shao Dao before, so the smell of alcohol probably wasn't washed off."
Ni Rong turned around and walked out. He was so shameless that I couldn't bear to listen to him.
Zi'an shook his head and said patiently: "If Your Majesty wants your injury to heal soon, then don't drink." If a person drinks for a long time, it can be seen from the pores and complexion. Murong Jie is a little addicted to alcohol. As a doctor, he really doesn't like to see this.
"You're so nagging. You said you didn't drink!" Murong Jie said with an unhappy look on his face, as if he had suffered a great injustice.
