Chapter 339
"Have a good rest, I'll take my leave!"
After saying this, she simply bowed and turned away.
King Zhao reached out to grab it reflexively, but he caught nothing and pulled his wound in the process.
Seeing Concubine Ji appear at the door of Prince Zhao's room, Eunuch Shi hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Concubine Ji, how is the prince now?"
With his keen eyesight, he could tell at a glance that the men's clothes on Concubine Ji were not hers, but belonged to the prince.
Ji Yunqing nodded slightly at him: "Your Majesty is in good spirits."
Full of life!
He stayed up late at night and still managed to hold a living person.
——Although she said that she didn't know when she ran to King Zhao's bed when she was in the room, Ji Yunqing didn't think she had the habit of sleepwalking in the middle of the night.
It is even more impossible for someone to take off his clothes while sleepwalking.
Thinking of this, Ji Yunqing's slightly better mood became gloomy again.
She thought that she and King Zhao had reached an unspoken understanding and there was no need for her to do such meaningless and boring things as sleeping with the King.
However, King Zhao's performance this morning was beyond Ji Yunqing's expectations.
Now she could only think of ways to reduce her presence and try her best to make King Zhao forget this wishful thinking - she didn't understand, couldn't she find those who loved to do this kind of thing?
"Eunuch Shi, I think the new attendant will be here soon. If there is nothing else, I will leave first."
Eunuch Shi was surprised: "Hey, Concubine Ji, why don't you stay a little longer?"
Stay a little longer and serve the prince more. Maybe if the prince is satisfied, he will ask Concubine Ji to stay.
In theory, even if Concubine Ji stayed until the afternoon, she would still have something to say, after all, that's what it counts as a real full day!
"No need"
Ji Yunqing said nothing more and left.
Xuancao hurried over with a small bundle in her arms. When she saw what her master was wearing, her eyes widened.
"Master, I brought new clothes..."
"Go back first"
Ji Yunqing didn't want to stay in this yard for even a minute.
After sending the person away, Eunuch Shi had to put aside other things and go to the prince to serve him carefully.
The door of the room was reopened, and King Zhao raised the corner of his mouth. When he saw that it was the familiar old face of Eunuch Shi who came into his sight, his face suddenly became gloomy.
"Where's Ji?"
Eunuch Shi was very nervous and answered carefully: "Your Majesty, Concubine Ji has been guarding you all night. She must be exhausted and has gone back to rest now."
Guarded all night?
King Zhao stared at the delicate patterns on the bed curtains and thought this was ridiculous!
He said sarcastically, "She is really exhausted!"
I slept all night without waking up.
Eunuch Shi shrank his neck, like an old quail waiting to be plucked, and did not dare to say a word.
He was furious. If he had known the prince would do this, he would have stopped Concubine Ji no matter what.
It is her honor to serve the prince!
After a while, Eunuch Shi asked tentatively: "My Lord, should I send someone to invite Concubine Ji back?"
King Zhao felt even more disgusted, and he flatly refused: "No need!"
She was just a disgusting woman to him, with no rules and rude manners. Even if she came back, she would still be an eyesore to him.
After a while, just as Ji Yunqing said, someone came to the front yard.
Concubine Lou was in a good mood. The maid beside her brought a food box containing hot soup for nourishing the body. A wet nurse in simple clothes was holding a child.
According to the information that I got from the front yard, Ji Yunqing's woman actually took the child over there.
So she brought the child here today, wasn't it just to let the prince enjoy family happiness?
She will too!
The prince is now seriously injured in bed and must be very lonely. Seizing this opportunity may allow the child to enter the prince's eyes.
I just don't know if the prince has woken up?
"Xuan'er, you have to behave well in front of your father later, okay?"
The child looked at his mother blankly with confused eyes, "I know"
This is what hurts Concubine Lou the most. She is two months older than the boy born to Ji Yunqing, but she is inferior to him in every way.
The other party would run all over the ground, but her Xuan'er could only be held in someone's arms.
It’s a pity that she can’t have children anymore, so this is her only hope.
The messenger came back and invited Concubine Lou and her entourage in.
"How is the prince now?"
"Don't worry, Concubine Lou, the prince is awake now."
After a few brief words, Concubine Lou entered Prince Zhao's room.
At this time, many imperial doctors were taking turns to diagnose King Zhao's health.
"Your Majesty, you'd better rest and recuperate now, and don't make any big moves."
"Don't lift anything heavy. Ask your servants to do it if you have anything to do."
Strange, there are now more wounds, which were already quite a few. Is the prince carrying sacks in the middle of the night?
Other colleagues used their eyes to signal him to stop talking. What heavy lifting? Is this a job that a prince would do?
After the imperial doctors finished their diagnosis and re-applied the medicine, Concubine Lou came before King Zhao.
At this moment, her eyes were filled with tears: "My lord, after learning that you were injured, I was so upset that I couldn't sleep all night. Fortunately, I can see you today."
As she said this, she asked the nurse to put Xuan'er down, "Xuan'er has been thinking about your health, it's rare that this child is so filial!"
Although King Zhao was wrapped in gauze all over his body, he still had a graceful demeanor and a cold look in his eyes. Only his pale lips betrayed his condition.
"The concubine has a heart"
"But the smell of medicine here is too strong, it's not suitable for you to stay, someone come here"
Eunuch Shi stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty!"
"Please go and rest, Concubine."
"Yes, concubine, please."
Concubine Lou didn't want to leave: "Your Majesty, why don't you let Xuan'er leave first? I don't care about these..."
But King Zhao no longer responded to her.
Eunuch Shi emphasized again: "Concubine, please come this way."
After leaving the room, Concubine Lou signaled the maid to quietly pass over a purse. She asked casually, "Eunuch, is Concubine Ji like this too?"
Eunuch Shi secretly squeezed the purse in his hand, and said tactfully: "The prince is worried about you. The smell of medicine in the room is too strong. Besides, the prince is seriously injured and it is not suitable for him to see too many people."
He looked at the child held by the nanny and hinted: "The smell of blood and so many wounds are not something that ordinary people can see."
Concubine Lou nodded and lowered her eyes, not knowing what she was thinking about.
Ji Yunqing first went back to the familiar Osmanthus Courtyard to wash and change his clothes.
At this time, Ruirui was already playing in the yard. The little maids were all accompanying the young master, and the yard was filled with laughter.
She spoke a few words to the child with a gentle face. The maids finally saw their master and the young master together again and were all happy for them.
Afterwards, Ji Yunqing did not rest directly, but went to the princess's main courtyard first.
Hemerocallis was surprised: "Master?"
When did the master become so diligent?
Ji Yunqing was not panicked at all: "Don't worry, the princess just came back yesterday, and I just left the prince, so it is reasonable for me to come here."
Her eyes were dark, without her usual smile. When Daylily looked over, she had regained her usual lively look.
