When Qing Ge went to the Fifth Prince's room, he was still asleep. Murong Hanzhi was sitting by his bed, his face somewhat haggard and his eyes dull. That undisguised heartache made Qing Ge's heart beat faster, and then she sneered, It seemed that the words of Qiu 'er and Ying' er weren't completely baseless. This lowly servant and the Fifth Prince really had an affair.
Xiao Yun 'er heard the commotion and turned around to welcome her," Qing Ge, is the Empress calling for Young Lady?”The two of them were the two most favored maids in the palace. It was just that one was reserved and the other was flamboyant.
Because she had a thought in her heart, Qing Ge's fake smile made people feel even more uncomfortable." It's the Empress who wants to call Murong Hanzhi over to talk. Tell her to hurry up. The Empress is waiting."”
Xiao Yun 'er frowned slightly. She knew that something was wrong based on her intuition, but she couldn't say much. She turned around and called out," Miss?”
" I heard you." Murong Hanzhi slowly stood up, his face expressionless." Yun 'er, stay here and guard the Fifth Prince. Don't let anyone in to disturb him."”
Xiao Yun 'er replied. Murong Hanzhi bent down to help the Fifth Prince tuck in the corner of the blanket. Seeing him lying on the bed was really tiring. She choked and turned to walk out.
Qing Ge sneered and followed.
Consort Yang Shu stood quietly in front of the table, her two hands tucked in her sleeves. It was unknown what she was thinking.
Murong Hanzhi approached her gently and bowed." Your Majesty, what are your orders for me to come here?"”
Consort Yang Shu only looked at her lowered eyelids and did not make a sound.
Is he alright? Or was there something he couldn't say? Murong Hanzhi's heart skipped a beat, and a chill ran down her spine. She seemed to have realized something, and her face turned green.
"Hanzhi, how are Yue 'er's injuries?”Fortunately, Consort Yang Shu finally spoke, but her voice was very dry and uncomfortable.
Murong Hanzhi gently exhaled and forced himself to remain calm." Replying to the Empress, although there are many wounds on the Fifth Prince's body, they are only on the skin. This servant has already applied medicine on him and the bleeding has stopped. He will be fine in eight to ten days.”
Her words were not boasting. According to her unique understanding of medicine, the medicine she concocted had always had a miraculous effect. This ten days or eight days was still her more accurate statement. In fact, according to the Fifth Prince's situation, at most five days, those injuries would close up and there would be no major problems.
" That's good." Consort Yang Shu nodded." Hanzhi, BenGong knows everything you've done for Yue 'er. BenGong has never forgotten what BenGong promised you. Then, have you always remembered what you promised BenGong?"”
Murong Hanzhi's heart sank. He raised his head and looked at her with a frightened expression." What does Your Majesty mean?!"？”
Heavens, could it be that Consort Yang Shu already knew that she and the Fifth Prince had a good thing?! But that shouldn't be possible. Even when the Fifth Prince was beaten by Consort Yang Shu, he didn't say a single word. Xiao Yun 'er was wholeheartedly for her and would not betray her, so how did Consort Yang Shu know?!
Or could it be that Consort Yang Shu actually did not know anything and was just testing her?
" I just want a word from you." Consort Yang Shu smiled indifferently, as if Murong Hanzhi's reaction was within her expectations." You didn't break your promise to me, did you?"”
Murong Hanzhi bit her lower lip hard, and blood was slowly seeping out from her lower lip." Of course I won't. Your Highness, don't worry!”
Forced to such a state by Consort Yang Shu, what else could she say? If Consort Yang Shu knew about her relationship with the Fifth Prince, not only would she not think of a way to save her younger sister-in-law, she would probably whip her to death, right?
" That's good." Consort Yang Shu's eyes flashed. Her gaze was indescribably cold, but her face had a knife-like smile, which looked really shameful." Hanzhi, I'll let you know clearly. The most important thing in life is to know what you can and can't want. If you overestimate yourself, you will only get nothing in the end."”
" Yes, Your Highness." This servant will remember Your Highness 'teachings. Murong Hanzhi's vision turned black. If she didn't clench her fists tightly and use the pain of her nails piercing into her palms to maintain her consciousness, she would have fainted in front of Consort Yang Shu!
If he had known that things would not have come to this, why would he have put himself in a dilemma?! She didn't doubt the Fifth Prince's sincerity towards her, but with a single sentence from Consort Yang Shu, no matter how much he was favored, wouldn't he still be beaten to a pulp? He couldn't even protect himself, so how could he protect her and her sister-in-law?!
Forget it, forget it. She still thought too simply about this matter in the palace. Since it was impossible to get it in the end, then she would let go now and let everything go back to square one!
" It's good that you understand." Consort Yang Shu smiled again, and her expression finally softened." Hanzhi, you've seen Wangyue. She and Yue 'er will be a couple sooner or later, but you know Yue' er's temper. He just can't change his mind. You've been with Yue 'er for a long time, so you know his temper. You should persuade him when you can, okay?"”
Haha, Consort Shu, you are truly ruthless. Making me come and persuade the Fifth Prince, are you sprinkling salt on my wound?
Murong Hanzhi looked at her and felt as if his heart had been slashed by a knife. At the same time, he couldn't help but admire Consort Yang Shu's wisdom and courage. After spending some time together, she finally understood why Consort Yang Shu was able to stand out among the other concubines and was favored by Gu Zhu Lie for so many years. It turned out that she didn't rely on just her pretty face.
She gritted her teeth and smiled with a pale face." Yes, Consort Shu, this servant will definitely persuade the Fifth Prince.”
Consort Yang Shu nodded and said no more. She waved her hand to signal for her to leave.
Murong Hanzhi could see that although Consort Yang Shu still trusted her as always, she no longer had the initial intimacy and lack of defense. Perhaps she had not fallen out with this guilty servant because the Fifth Prince's illness had not fully recovered.
In other words, if the Fifth Prince recovered and no longer needed her, would Consort Yang Shu really help her escape her misery?
Thinking of this, Murong Hanzhi couldn't help but shiver. The road ahead was vast, and she really didn't know how to continue walking!
