Chapter 138 Humble request to stay in the Rongjun Prince's Mansion? Oh, fake
Only Shen Muxi, even though his eyes were red from the smoke, remained calm. He ordered the servants to bring hot water, scissors, bandages and other things, and began to treat Kang's leg injury.
Her expression was calm and her attitude was respectful, without any trace of disgust, which gave Kang the illusion that her leg was not injured.
The wound was dripping with blood and smelled of something. Kang had even tensed up his entire body, ready to curse loudly in anticipation of the pain of changing the dressing.
But she closed her eyes for a long time and didn't feel the pain in her legs.
When she opened her eyes in surprise, she saw Shen Muxi sprinkling medicine powder on her bloody legs.
The moment the powder touched the wound, not only did it not hurt, but it also felt cool. She sighed in satisfaction, "Good craftsmanship."
"Old Princess, this is the White Jade Muscle Regeneration Powder I spent all my fortune to buy. If you use it for half a month, the skin and flesh on your legs will grow back, and the tendons and veins that were previously removed will also be repaired. After the skin and flesh grow back, you only need to rest for three to six months according to your personal needs, and you will be fully recovered."
Kang nodded with satisfaction, subconsciously ignoring what Shen Muxi said, and only heard the following "three months to half a year".
"good."
The doctor had basically diagnosed that her legs would make it impossible for her to walk for the rest of her life.
Unexpectedly, things took a turn for the better and Shen was still of some use.
"Then you will serve me for the next three months until my leg is healed."
She said it as a matter of course. Shen Muxi looked at her awkwardly, "Old Princess, this White Jade Regenerating Powder is effective, but the price is not cheap at all..."
"Why, you want to stay with me, but you don't want to pay a little money?"
The right leg was saved, and Kang, who thought he could use Gu Shi and Gu Xiaoxiao to control Shen Muxi, immediately turned against them.
"Ms. Shen, is it because Shi'er is too nice to you that you think anyone can come into the Rongjun Palace at will?"
Shen Muxi looked like she was being manipulated to death by her, her eyes red with grievance, "But...but...the White Jade Regenerating Powder in my hand can only be used for seven days at most. If it is useless in the middle, or if the method is wrong, it will be more harm than good."
"what?"
Kang stood up excitedly, strode to Shen Muxi, raised his hand to teach Shen Muxi a lesson, but was suddenly drawn back to his attention by Su Po's excited words.
"Old...old ancestor, you can walk now."
Mrs. Su walked quickly to Kang's side with a look of delight on her face.
Only then did Kang discover that her right foot, which had previously caused her so much pain that she almost fainted whenever it touched the ground, had actually returned to normal. Moreover, she could even feel that her body had become much lighter.
A hint of shock flashed in her eyes - is there really such a miracle drug in this world?
Soon, her shock turned into determination.
"Shen, I'll give you one more chance. No matter what method you use, you must retrieve enough White Jade Muscle Regenerating Powder. Otherwise..."
A hint of coldness flashed in Kang's eyes. She leaned over and whispered in Shen Muxi's ear, "The palace is so big. If Xiaoxiao got bumped and fell into the lake, it would be perfectly normal."
Shen Muxi's face turned pale in an instant.
"I...I'll think of a solution first. If everything is alright, I'll go back to Bishui Garden first."
Just as Shen Muxi was about to leave, Kang called her back.
"and many more."
"Old Princess?"
This time it was Su Pozi who spoke. "What the old ancestor meant was that since you are a maid in my courtyard, you should do your duty as a maid well. Don't go back to Bishuiyuan. Stay in Ronghui Hall and take good care of the old ancestor. Find a way to find the medicine powder for the next three months."
"But..."
"Ok?"
The words that Shen Muxi was about to say ended with Kang's unpleasant "hmm".
Mrs. Su called the maid and placed Shen Muxi in the servants' room of Ronghui Hall.
When Shen Muxi turned around, he exchanged a vague glance with Su Pozi, and then looked away tacitly.
It was late spring and the temperature was slowly rising.
The servants' quarters in the long dormitory are usually used by servants and maids.
The servants and maids are almost the lowest-ranking servants in the entire palace.
They are responsible for all the dirty and tiring work.
As a result, the air in the servants' room was filled with a strange and lingering odor.
Even so, Shen Muxi remained calm and thanked the woman called "Hua Pozi" who led her.
Hua Pozi looked at Shen Muxi hesitantly, wanting to say something.
After all, she was an old man in the Rong County Prince's Mansion, so she knew something about the old Rong County Prince's wife Kang and Rong County Prince Gu Shi when they were in Danyang.
Even though Prince Rong vehemently denied having a wife and daughter in the court, the young lady in his mansion did exist.
The girl in front of him was already past her teens, not dressed as a maid, and could even hold hands with the young lady. One could guess her identity with just a little guess.
Her humble request to the old ancestor to take her in today would probably spread throughout the Rongjun Prince's Mansion in no time...
Who among those who can live to old age in Prince Rong’s Mansion is not a shrewd person?
There was a glint in her eyes, but she showed a kind smile to Shen Muxi, "It's hard for the girl to beg humbly to stay here, girl, live here well, the hard times will eventually pass."
Shen Muxi took in all of Hua Pozi's expressions. In response to Hua Pozi's "kindness", she smiled slightly.
She humbly requested to stay in Prince Rong's Mansion?
Haha, fake.
...
at the same time.
Gu Shi ran into Pei Wang on his way back from an errand.
The two greeted each other and exchanged a few pleasantries.
Ever since the Mulan Mountain case and the fire at Prince Rong's Mansion, he had quite a few interactions with Pei Wang.
So when Pei Wang said that he had a lot of troubles recently and wanted to go for tea with him, he only suggested that they change the drinking of tea to drinking of wine, and he readily agreed - after all, Pei Wang was good at everything except drinking.
In the private room of Zuixianlou.
Gu Shi took the initiative to offer Pei Wang a glass of wine.
"Master Pei, there are many misunderstandings between us, and we can say that we didn't know each other until we fought.
The fire in my palace was solved thanks to Lord Pei's help. I offer you a toast."
"Your Majesty, you're welcome."
Pei Wang did not refuse, picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.
After drinking a cup of osmanthus wine, his ears turned red.
Gu Shi laughed and said, "I didn't expect that Lord Pei would be so drunk."
"This wine is wrong."
Pei Wang shook his head vigorously, trying to stay awake.
Soon, his whole demeanor changed drastically. He half-leaned on the wine table with his eyes blurred, supporting his body with his elbows.
"Your Majesty, I have something to say, but I'm not sure if I should say it in front of you..."
As he spoke, he burped, and his tone was no longer as gentle and polite as before, but instead had a hint of cynicism.
Gu Shi put down his wine glass and helped Pei Wang back to his seat. "Master Pei is drunk."
"I'm not drunk... Why does Your Highness have three heads today?" Pei Wang shook his head and half-fell on Gu Shi, muttering, "But there are some things I'd better not tell Your Highness, so that you don't have to investigate the matter of Princess Rong's miscarriage..."
