Mistress

Chapter 63

Xu Cheng sat and drank tea with Xu Ze in the main hall.

Xu Cheng cryptically advised him not to go to the Ministry of War recently. Since it was Chinese New Year, he would rest at home. Anyway, he would drink tea when he went. He also upset the people around him, so why feel uncomfortable.

Xu Ze responded with a smile, saying that he planned to be a leisurely man at home these few days.

While the two brothers were talking, Madam Cui ran over in a panic and told about Princess Bao falling down and falling into a coma.Mammy Cui felt guilty and was afraid that something might happen to Princess Bao, so her voice trembled when she reported.

Xu Cheng rarely sees Nanny Cui so nervous, it seems that she really fell hard.He and Xu Ze hurried to Mingxiang Pavilion, and Aunt Song stepped forward to greet her with her right foot sprained.Xu Cheng didn't have time to look at her and stepped in. Xu Jing lay quietly on the kang, her head was wrapped thickly with gauze by Dr. Zeng, and it was stained with dark red blood.

Xu Cheng's head was a little swollen, and he felt a little bitter in his heart.Originally he was ashamed, he could see Xu Jing's love for Prince Bao, but he just wanted to break up their couple, now Xu Jing is still unconscious, she is his own sister.

Immediately afterwards, Li Yan came in, and brought Dr. Qiao and Dr. Liang, who diagnosed Xu Jing in detail.

Xu Cheng winked and called Li Yan to the outside room.Before Xu Cheng asked, Li Yan said directly, "Jing'er wanted to leave, Aunt Song moved you out, but Jing'er still refused to stay. Later, Aunt Song took her to bid farewell to you. If you are determined to leave, you probably won't be able to stop her, so I let Nanny Cui and Qing'er sprinkle oil on the snow in front of the door, I didn't expect... to fall so hard."

Li Yan's eyes were full of self-blame, she didn't intend to justify herself, that's the truth.

But Xu Cheng approached her, patted her on the shoulder, and comforted her, "It's okay, don't worry too much, if she doesn't stay, she will only fall into the tiger's mouth when she goes back, so at least she is by our side."

"Perhaps... she prefers to stay with Prince Bao." Li Yan said in a very low voice.

Xu Cheng sighed softly, "I know."

Not long after, the servants who came with Xu Jing couldn't wait outside the door.A young leader ran into the mansion to inquire about the situation, and then hurried to Mingxiang Pavilion. After learning about the situation, he insisted on carrying Xu Jing away, saying that there was a better doctor in the palace, and he could also invite an imperial doctor.

Dr. Qiao hurriedly stopped her, "No, no! Princess Bao's symptoms are very dangerous. She is lying on a stable position at the moment, but she must not move, otherwise it will lead to serious problems! You should go outside and wait outside. Dr. Liang and I will Acupuncture for Prince Bao!"

Doctor Qiao drove everyone out.

The little leader was a little afraid of Xu Cheng in his heart, he didn't dare to do anything wrong, so he ran back to report to Prince Bao.

Li Yan and Xu Cheng were sitting in the outer room, Aunt Song accompanied them after changing their clothes.The three of them sat awkwardly for a long time. Aunt Song blamed herself for not helping Xu Jing, and then said that she finally persuaded Xu Jing to go to the front to meet the master, and maybe she could be kept behind. As soon as he went out, he encountered disaster.

Xu Cheng frowned and said: "She intends to say goodbye to me after a few words. I don't have the ability to keep her. Otherwise, why would I want to ask you, you don't want to talk about it, it's a headache."

Aunt Song originally wanted to say that when she changed her clothes just now, she felt a little greasy, and she suspected that someone had harmed Xu Jing and her.But Li Yan sat by and listened, and Xu Cheng didn't look impatient, so she stopped talking.

After a stick of incense was lit, Dr. Qiao came out and said, "Princess Bao depends on whether she can survive tonight. If she can survive, she will be fine when she wakes up tomorrow morning. If not..."

"I don't allow hypotheses!" Xu Cheng interrupted Dr. Qiao.Dr. Qiao shrank his neck and went in again.

Xu Cheng asked Li Yan to go back to Jinxiu Courtyard with him. The more he stayed here, the more uncomfortable he would be.

Back in Jinxiu Courtyard, Li Yan still couldn't relax, but there was one thing she couldn't figure out, "Master, who made the arrangements for Jing'er's marriage, why did you marry Jing'er to Princess Bao, you shouldn't have stopped her back then. Is it?"

Xu Cheng was a little sad, "This is a marriage bestowed by the emperor, who dares to say 'no'? The emperor just wanted to contain the Xu family, so he let Jing'er marry Prince Bao. It's just that the emperor didn't expect that even Prince Bao Also had a different heart."

Li Yan hesitated, "Isn't Prince Bao the emperor's closest brother?"

"Prince Bao was the most loved by the late emperor, but because Prince Bao was too young to inherit the great responsibility, the late emperor passed the throne to the emperor. Because they are the sons of the empress dowager, they are brothers of the first line, and the emperor has grown up with treasure. There are many princes, and Prince Bao has been with him since he was a child. The emperor naturally dotes on Prince Bao. But Prince Bao doesn't think so. He thinks that the throne should belong to him, but the emperor appointed his own son as the prince five years ago. Prince Bao felt uncomfortable when he appointed Prince Bao, so he recruited the former prime minister, Song Qian's father and brother, to take advantage of the opportunity."

Li Yan secretly sighed, this court is really chaotic, why does everyone want to be the emperor.

"Then...will the matter of the master be restrained by Prince Bao?" Li Yan was faintly worried.

Xu Cheng snorted, "Based on his and Song Qian's abilities, there is nothing to be afraid of. The emperor didn't know it before, but he should be alert recently, but Prince Bao and Song Qian have no strength at all. In my eyes, they can be wiped out just by using the Imperial Forest Army in the city."

Li Yan suddenly felt that the emperor was really pitiful, and sighed: "The emperor didn't act, maybe he couldn't bear to see his beloved younger brother suffer so badly. It is really not easy to be the emperor. There are endless rebels, even my doting younger brother. He has a different heart. Master, you...?"

Xu Cheng understood Li Yan's meaning, and said loudly, "I didn't conquer the world to be the emperor, but I can't sit and wait for death. If I can really sit on the throne of the emperor, I will naturally do my part. Since ancient times, no emperor has taken it easy. It will be good."

Seeing that Xu Cheng was full of confidence, Li Yan stopped saying anything to hurt him.

But Xu Cheng continued to say loudly: "Left and right are just success and failure. If you succeed, you will do your best to benefit the people; if you lose, you will not feel regretful. In life, you have to win once."

Li Yan smiled slightly and said nothing, Xu Cheng is indeed a real man, even though he is not a dedicated loyal minister.

Li Yan thought that Prince Bao would definitely come to pick up Xu Jing in person, because he wanted to contain Xu Cheng through Xu Jing.In the eyes of Prince Bao, he thought that Xu Cheng would definitely help the emperor, but he was too immature to know anything about Xu Cheng's details.Although he and Song Qian's father and brother also had a lot of detailed work, they couldn't find out one or two.

Unexpectedly, Prince Bao didn't come until the evening, and he didn't send anyone to visit Xu Pu, but just sent a doctor from his mansion over.

Li Yan couldn't figure it out, and Xu Cheng didn't quite understand it at first, but finally he had a sudden epiphany.Prince Bao has already grasped Xu Jing, and he believes that once Xu Jing recovers, he will have a way to recruit Xu Jing back.

Xu Cheng suddenly had an idea in his heart, an idea that a brother shouldn't have, that Xu Jing had better be in a coma for two months, and she would wake up after all the dust settled, maybe in this way she could be preserved.

This night was very difficult, neither Li Yan nor Xu Cheng could go to sleep on the kang, but sat quietly waiting for news from Mingxiang Pavilion.

In the early morning of the next day, Xu Jing did not continue to fall into a coma as Xu Cheng imagined, she woke up.

As soon as she woke up, she wanted to go back to Prince Bao's mansion. At this time, her eyes were blurred and she couldn't see clearly, so she clamored to go back, which was enough to see how much she couldn't do without Prince Bao.

Xu Cheng repeatedly advised her not to move around with the stern attitude of her elder brother, otherwise her eyes would never get better again, so she calmed down a bit.

Xu Cheng then softened his attitude, looked at his sister with concern, and said, "Your eyes are blurred because there is still blood in your head and around your eyes. You must stay in bed and drink medicine frequently every day. The blood will slowly dissipate." Only then can we get up and move.”

Xu Jing looked at Xu Cheng eagerly, "Brother, I can recuperate well even when I go back home, the prince will care about me here."

"Prince Bao has already sent someone over to say, it won't be too late to go back after you are all well." This is a nonsense made up by Xu Cheng.

"Really?" Xu Jing couldn't believe it.

"When did big brother lie to you?" He was lying without heartbeat, blushing, and plausible.

Xu Jing believed it, and lay down with peace of mind.

Li Yan went back to Jinxiu Courtyard with peace of mind, but Xu Cheng started to get busy, plunged into Zhihui Hall and never came out, the food was brought in by Li Yan.Of course, delivering meals was just for show, Xu Cheng was already busy outside.

Xu Cheng only came back every three or four days, and then stopped by to see Xu Jing.

Because Xu Jing lived in Mingxiang Pavilion, Aunt Song and Xu Jing gradually became intimate.Although Aunt Song's mind is not very bright, she also knows how to coax people, and Xu Jing knows that Prince Bao and the Song family are very close, so she and Aunt Song got along like sisters in just ten days.

Mother Cui felt very upset when she saw this, and every time she came back from visiting Xu Jing with Li Yan, she was unhappy, this time she couldn't help it, and said: "Ma'am, Aunt Song is already dead, she spent so much time Thoughts, the master just went for a walk, and returned to his wife in a blink of an eye. Now she and Princess Bao are so affectionate, and the master loves Princess Bao, so don't let her take advantage of Princess Bao What kind of moth came out."

Li Yan is also very busy these days, and has been discussing with Manager Qi about opening a shop. She was looking at the account book at this time, and she didn't have much reaction to what Cui Mama said, and said flatly: "Aunt Song doesn't have the guts."

"Ma'am... how do you know that she doesn't have the guts? What if Prince Bao would lend her the guts?" Cui Momo was a little worried.

"Recently, the master often recuperates in the Zhihui Hall. He only comes out once every three or four days. How can he care about her. What's more, how the master treats her, her heart is like a mirror, and she dare not make mistakes. Although Jinger and her Dear, but I won't push her to curry favor with the master. Jing'er has a high-minded personality, and she can't bear women begging for mercy to curry favor with men."
