"Junior Sister, I thought you had forgotten about me after becoming Jing Wangfei?”
Baili Bing, who was dressed in purple, landed in front of Murong Xue with an evil smile on her face.
" Junior Sister greets Eldest Senior Brother. Xue 'er greets you." Murong Xue bowed.
"Cut it out. How can your junior sister be so obedient? Did she encounter some trouble?”
"I…"
Murong Xue choked up, not knowing what to say. Indeed, she only came to the bamboo forest to practice her swordsmanship when she was troubled. Baili Bing might have a way, but if Tuoba Li found out about this, would he change his opinion of her? Perhaps…So what if there was a way? She still wants to marry another concubine, the daughter of the prime minister. She might even come to snatch the position of the princess consort. Then I better not say it.
Baili Bing looked at this once beautiful and arrogant junior sister. Now that she had married into the prince's mansion, her days were not happy. The loneliness on her face already told him that she was not happy as a princess consort. He could only blame his master for asking him to go to the General's Estate to snatch this junior sister back. When his Xin 'er passed away, he was completely disheartened and could not care about this junior sister at all. In the end, she married into this troublesome place. Because of this, his master refused to see him, and he did not dare to see Murong Xue. Meeting her like this made him feel at a loss, but he had the idea of doing something for her to make up for his guilt.
"Xue 'er, are you hesitating now? As expected, you've matured a lot as a wife. If you don't say anything, I won't give you a chance! I'm leaving!"
"Senior Brother, why have you come to the Imperial Residence? If you're not here for me, then why are you here?”
" Of course, I have something important to do. If you have nothing else to do, I'll be leaving." In order to conceal the purpose of this trip, Bai Libing turned around and was about to leave.
"Alright, I won't ask anymore. Senior Brother, slow down. Say hello to Master for me? Tell him that I'm fine and I miss Master very much."
"He's playing so much that we can't even find him. It's not our turn to worry!”
Bai Libing didn't turn around. He only stopped for a moment before he stepped on the ground with one foot. His figure was already blurry.
"Take care of yourself, okay? Don't tire yourself out. I'll wait for you to come back at any time. Otherwise, Master won't forgive you!”
Before she could finish her sentence, Murong Xue was the only one left in the bamboo forest.
Murong Xue had been exceptionally intelligent since she was a child. She had a photographic memory at the age of three and was kidnapped by a man in black at the age of five. She only returned to the General's Estate when she was sixteen. Her father had used her mother's life to force her to marry King Jing.
Ever since she married Tuoba Li on the first day, Tuoba Li had never stepped into her bedroom. It was the same for the other two secondary consorts. Now, there was the matter of His Highness being poisoned, the maid being poisoned, and the flower servant incident. The entire Prince's mansion was shrouded in fear.
She had always been haughty and disdainful. She disdained to lower herself to gain Tuoba Li's favor because she was a chivalrous woman known as Xue Wuqing in the martial arts world.
"Can I return to your side like this?”
Murong Xue's eyes were filled with tears at the thought of this.
" Reporting to Your Highness, the man in purple has left the bamboo forest." Mu Heng stood behind Tuoba Li and slowly followed behind him, explaining in detail how Tuoba Li had followed the man in purple." The man in purple's martial arts skills are above mine. I was afraid of being discovered by him, so I stayed far away and didn't hear their conversation. Please forgive me, Your Highness." Mu Heng cupped his fists and apologized.
"You've done well. Be careful these few days.”
Tuoba Li stood in front of the window and thought about the purple-robed man. He guessed that this person was Baili Bing. He had come to the Imperial Residence to meet the Princess Consort and even talked to her in the bamboo forest. Had they met by chance or had they made an appointment beforehand? What was their motive? He hated Murong Xue's arrogant face, which made him feel annoyed. However, her aloofness also made Tuoba Li give up on the idea of disowning the main consort. He wanted to disown all the concubines and let Su Ji leave the harem to marry him. He would rather raise his cousin's child, but Su Ji refused. He still wanted to prove his feelings to Su Ji by disowning his wife.
When he saw Murong Xue's disdainful face, he changed his mind. He wanted to use her to beat those chattering women and make them fight until the sky turned dark. That way, the empress dowager would let down her guard against him and let the whole world know that he had a jealous wife. Hiding from the public's eyes and ears gave him the opportunity to get closer to Su Ji and protect her. This was Murong Xue's only value as a princess consort.
Baili Bing's appearance had once made him suspect Wang Yating's identity. In addition to Baili Bing's attitude towards Wang Yating, he began to hate this person, which also made him even more confused. This Wang Yating's identity and the familiar Ling 'er made him even more confused. Baili Bing had already become his second target of attention, and the first was Wang Yating.
"Miss Wang, you're awake. Doctor Chen is already waiting at the door. Shall I help you wash up?”Cherry walked in with a basin and a handkerchief.
"No need. I only hurt my shoulder. My left hand is fine, right? I'll do it myself."
Su Ji picked up the handkerchief and started to wash her face. She had to protect the heavy makeup on her face, so she washed it slowly and carefully. However, she only splashed water on her face. One of her hands was tired, so she finished.
"Doctor Chen, my injury is much better. Thank you. Are you very good at medicine? Can you not tie it so thick? Please teach me how to wrap cherries. This method is very difficult."
Su Ji was implying that Doctor Chen's medical ethics were not good, and she would feel very uncomfortable if she let a layman take care of her.
"Ah! I tied Miss Wang up very carefully, but you still think I'm stupid. I quit. Doctor Chen, she bullied me."
Cherry's face was already red. She held Doctor Chen's sleeve and acted coquettishly.
"Sister Cherry, I'm not saying that you didn't do a good job. I just wanted Doctor Chen to teach you a better way to help me recover faster. I didn't say that you were stupid. I just think that I'm a joke. I'm very grateful that you took care of me. My good sister!"
" I understand now. You're saying that my medical skills aren't good enough and that she made you suffer," Doctor Chen interrupted their conversation.
"Wait, don't explain anymore. I'll teach her personally now. Call someone in and I'll wrap it up for you immediately.”
Doctor Chen was already grumbling in his heart. This inconspicuous flower servant in front of him was really sharp-tongued and curses.
"Doctor Chen, I'm a patient. Why would I bandage someone else? I'm here. I'm not that precious. I believe you. There are still cherries here. She can help."
Cherry's face didn't change. She still pouted at Su Ji, but her eyes were wide open as she looked at Doctor Chen.
Doctor Chen's face suddenly turned pale." I'm indeed an incompetent doctor, but His Highness forbade me from bandaging your wound, so I was careless. I didn't expect Cherry to be inexperienced and let you suffer. I will try my best to alleviate the pain this time, don't worry."
Doctor Chen had an apologetic look on his face as he began to prepare the medicine.
"Don't look at me like that. I just want to get better faster. Besides, I'm just a patient. Why are patients divided into men and women?”
Cherry looked at Su Ji in surprise. It wasn't because she had asked the doctor to apply medicine on her, but because in Northern Wei, only married men and women were valued. She was surprised by his highness 'attitude towards this ugly girl. Even if she was a princess, his highness had never been so attentive to her. Why was he treating her like this? She was so ugly! Could it be that his highness had gone mad?
She had just entered the residence and was only a flower servant, but she had to let her, a personal maid, take care of her daily life. Wouldn't that be even more disgraceful? She had long thought so, but due to her status, she did not dare to ask anything. She could only guess blindly. It really made her envious and jealous of this Lady Wang in front of her.
Cherry's expression became a bit complicated, but Doctor Chen broke the awkwardness." Watch carefully. I'm teaching you seriously. You two learn together. Don't blame me anymore." Doctor Chen ordered Su Ji and Cherry to learn well. He didn't want them to blame him for not being good at medicine.
