concubines

Chapter 102
Zhou Shuxuan glared at him again, and was about to ask someone to call Miao Li back.Who would have thought that Miao Li would come back by herself.

Fortunately, no one was missing an arm or a leg, and there was no injury on the face.The person's mental state is not bad, and he has not been tortured.

Miao Li noticed his strange gaze, and asked suspiciously: "What is the prince looking at?"

"I didn't read anything." As if he cared too much about her, Zhou Shuxuan coughed lightly to cover up his emotions, and asked, "What did the princess ask you to do?"

To be honest, she didn't know what Xu Meitang asked her to do.He didn't say anything, but he seemed to say a lot.I am afraid that only the last few sentences are of practical significance.

Miao Li summed it up and answered his words: "The princess said that the slaves often go to the truffle yard, and they seem to be very skilled in medicine. Concubine Xu's health is not good, and some symptoms are not easy for doctors to check outside, so the slaves have time to go and have a look. "

She was a half-baked person who had no medical skills and could not even be considered a doctor, but Xu Meitang actually took it seriously.

Zhou Shuxuan realized something was wrong. It was one thing for Miao Li to read medical books for him, but it was another thing for her to see a doctor for Xu Shi.A medical lady is not something to stand on the stage, Xu Meitang probably has no good intentions in treating Miao Li as a medical envoy.

Zhou Shuxuan raised his eyebrows and asked, "You agreed?"

"The concubine's orders, the servants dare not refuse."

In fact, she is not only regarded as a medical girl, Xu was banned before because of her.Asking her to see a doctor for Mrs. Xu is to give Mrs. Xu a chance to clean up.Xu Meitang has already regarded Miao Li as a thorn in her side.

"What did you promise her to do this mess?"

Miao Li said lightly: "The servant is a slave, and the concubine is the master. What the master says is an order, not a discussion with the servant. The servant has to agree."

Zhou Shuxuan didn't say anything, just stared at her, his eyes seemed to ask if she didn't agree to him.Seriously count down how many baskets you have to pack.

Miao Li understood his eyes and smiled, and then said: "Besides, the prince and the princess are newlyweds. The slaves are also regarded as slaves on the prince's side. If the princess is rejected directly, the princess will be blamed on the prince Come on. For the sake of slaves, it would be bad to hurt the peace of the prince and concubine."

"I'm afraid she won't succeed," Zhou Shuxuan thought for a while, and felt that what she said was reasonable, "Go as long as you want."

He still has something to ask his father, so he really can't wrong Xu Meitang too much.

Having almost settled the affairs of the back house, Zhou Shuxuan felt a little tired, wanted to take a rest and realized that there was still a huge pile of official documents piled up.The emperor didn't know what he was thinking, and sent him many things one after another.

I never thought of entrusting him with the high position, and let him do things without being lenient at all. The emperor just uses him as a tool to deal with court affairs.

Zhou Shuxuan suddenly became a little confused. The emperor provoked his relationship with the king of Qi, and it seemed that he had no intention of giving the throne to the king of Qi. So who was the emperor thinking about?
Zhou Shuxuan raised his head and asked Miao Li who was grinding beside him, "Who do you think the emperor wants?"

Miao Li thought of what she said to the Emperor of Yanshan that day, and she seemed to have a guess in her heart, but she couldn't tell Zhou Shu like this: "The servant said that the prince can't be angry."

Zhou Shuxuan nodded slightly, agreeing.

"Before the emperor told the servants to let the servants hang behind the curtain to listen to the government and help protect the young master, the emperor probably wanted to choose a little prince in his heart."

Zhou Shuxuan suddenly remembered that not-so-good time, the emperor was crazy and insisted on making her a queen, and he didn't know anything about making her a princess.

He was really too stupid, not only kept in the dark, but also played with in the palm of his hand.Looking at Miaoli, Zhou Shuxuan couldn't let go of it at this moment.

Miao Li keenly felt that the atmosphere around him had changed, and there was a chill.Although she is not afraid of hurting him now, she doesn't want him to get angry either.

Miao Li glanced at him secretly, and saw that he clenched his fists, as if he was trying to hold back something, he seemed really angry, so he said, "My lord, didn't you say you're not angry?"

"I never said that!"

Miao Li is helpless, she has nothing to do if he doesn't admit it, she can do whatever he likes, and she can only suffer when he is angry.He bowed his head and didn't speak, waiting for what he had to say.

After a long time, Zhou Shuxuan asked, "The emperor wanted you to be a queen, why didn't you tell me?"

It's time to settle accounts after autumn.

"The servant girl is afraid that the prince will know about the impulsive thing, and he doesn't want to hurt the prince."

Not to mention Zhou Shuxuan's feelings for her, even ordinary sons are not so calm when they know that I want to attack their own people.

Zhou Shuxuan gritted his teeth and asked again: "Then you are not afraid of hurting the eldest princess?" The eldest princess must have known it before him, and it is only possible that she said it.

Miao Li explained silently: "The eldest princess and the prince have different positions." She dare not say that she trusts the eldest princess more, and also feels that the eldest princess is more reliable.

"If the emperor doesn't change his mind when he returns to Beijing, but wants to make you queen, what will you do?"

"It's settled once and for all. The slaves are stupid, but they still know some things. It won't ruin the prince's reputation."

Those who were aroused to anger just now, because of her words, have returned to their original state.

He would never put her in that situation again.

In the evening, Miaoli soaked Zhou Shuxuan's feet as usual, and pressed his legs according to the technique taught by Zhang Langzhong.

Zhang Langzhong had always thought that he would be outdone by a little girl, so he studied for a long time and developed a set of blood circulation and tendon relaxing massage methods, which he asked Miao Li to use together with foot bathing.

After pinching the legs, Miao Li asked expectantly: "How does the prince feel now? Is it better?"

Zhou Shuxuan tried to move his legs, and felt that he could use his strength, but his legs were still the same as before, without any change.Probably due to psychological effects, Zhou Shuxuan looked at her expectant eyes, not wanting to dampen her confidence, and said, "It seems to have some effect."

The moment he hesitated said it all, Miao Li knew he was comforting herself.Sighing in my heart, I silently went out with the basin.

After tidying up, she blew two candles and lay on the bed. Miao Li was used to sleeping with him every day.Except that I wake up in his arms every day, there is nothing wrong with it.

Zhou Shuxuan lay down for a while, and suddenly remembered that he said during the day to see a doctor for Mrs. Xu.Mrs. Xu knew how to play tricks inside, so he made a note in his heart that he had to ask someone to go over and say hello.

When Zhou Shuxuan got up the next day, the first thing Zhou Shuxuan did was to say to Wei Hai: "Go and tell Mrs. Xu that if Miaoli goes to see a doctor for her, she can drink the medicine prescribed. If something goes wrong just now, talk to Miaoli." Li has nothing to do with it."

He has said hello, if Mrs. Xu still resorts to other means, don't blame him for turning his face and denying others.

Miaoli remembered what Xu Meitang said, and in order to show that she cared about her princess, she went to Xu's yard early.

After the palace was repaired, Mrs. Xu moved back.Before Miaoli entered the yard, she smelled a strong smell of medicine, which was stronger than that of Truffle Garden.It's better to take care of Xu's body peacefully.Don't bother her, she is doing better now.Zhou Shu proclaimed her father's affection, and Xu could live the rest of her life in peace and prosperity.

Miao Li is now sleeping with Zhou Shuxuan every night, Xu Meitang dare not treat her as an ordinary concubine, let alone the people in Xu's courtyard welcome her into the house from a distance.

Zhou Shuxuan came to say hello, and Xu Meitang also let people tell her that people in Xu's courtyard knew what she was doing, and as soon as Miaoli entered the courtyard, someone went to Xu's to inform her.

When Xu heard Miaoli coming, she struggled to get up from the hospital bed.He dressed up well and sat on the couch to receive her.

Xu knows that she has lost, but she wants to retain her last dignity.

Miao Li went to the Truffle Garden from time to time, Zhang Lang saw that she was studious and talented, so he taught her the basics.Miao Li sat on the embroidered pier, and her fingers touched Xu's pulse.There is nothing special about her superficial foundation. Xu's body seems to be weak and not nourished, plus she is thinking about things every day, so no matter how much medicine she takes, she will not get better.

Miao Li withdrew her finger and said: "Your Majesty's body is a little weak, just follow the doctor's medicine before."

There were no outsiders, Xu withdrew his hand, sneered, and said disdainfully: "I have been busy working with you for a long time and nothing has come out of it."

This is Xu's true face, and it's hard for her.Even though she was vitriolic and mean, she still had to pretend to be a delicate and frail sick beauty. What made it even more difficult for her was that Zhou Shuxuan didn't realize how difficult it was for her.

Miao Li said respectfully: "This servant only has a little bit of simple medical skills, and it's just the princess's favor."

Mrs. Xu completely showed her acrimony, "Knowing that my medical skills are simple, I don't think about it carefully. Is it because I have spent all my thoughts on pleasing men? After all, I have learned it seriously, so I can hold the prince tightly in my hands." .”

Miao Li thinks that she has always been well-behaved since she entered the door, and she abides by her duty and does not do anything beyond the boundaries. It is Xu who has been picking things up here, and she has indeed poked her sore spot.

As long as it's not too much, she can wrong herself, but if her bottom line is touched, don't blame her for fighting back.

Miao Li raised her head and said solemnly: "Do you need my servant to teach you some tricks to make the prince look at you more, so that you won't be able to keep the prince with those dirty tricks. The lady has the ability to intrigue here, so it's better to be good at it." Take care of your body, if you waste your mind like this, sooner or later you will run out of oil and the lamp will dry up."

"You maidservant, how dare you speak to me like that!" Mrs. Xu struggled to get up and raised her hand to hit Miaoli, but before she could strike, she coughed violently.

Miao Li is very clear about her current status, "The prince's favor speaks in the back house, I don't need to be more respectful to you for your slave maid's favor today, you can do it yourself."

Miao Li went out of the room, and complained to herself a few words in her heart, why did she get rid of her impulsiveness after so long.Hearing the coughing that hadn't disappeared in his ears, he felt that it was Xu who asked for it.

In the room behind her, Xu's mood fluctuated too much, and finally coughed up a mouthful of blood.

I hurt my heart and lungs, I'm afraid I really won't live long.
