Mu Qingwan took a closer look and saw that the face of the old woman who was to be her master was slightly swollen, her eyes were bloodshot, and her belly was slightly bulging. She looked like she had just been pregnant. She couldn't help but feel shocked.

The old woman patted her hand and told her not to worry. She walked to the beauty not far away and sat down on her. Then she looked at Mu Qingwan and looked at her for a while. Her eyes finally settled on her knees and she couldn't help but wrinkle.

He frowned, turned to the palace maid next to him and said:

"Go and get the white jade blood-stasis-removing ointment." After a pause, he added, "Bring some pearl powder for scar removal as well."

The palace maid left in response. Mu Qingwan was about to stand up and say thanks, but was stopped by the old woman, who said warmly:

"You have an injury on your leg, so you don't need to be polite. Jinru, go help her over."

The old woman named Jin Ru lowered her head in response, then came over and helped her sit down on the soft couch next to the old woman. Mu Qingwan felt warm in her heart and was extremely grateful, and she hurriedly thanked her.

"I wonder what I should call this old man?"

"I am an idler in this palace. I should be about the same age as your grandmother. Just call me grandma."

"Grandma?" Mu Qingwan thought for a while, "Then I'll call you grandma. It sounds more cordial."

Although they were strangers to each other, this old man exuded a calming temperament that made people want to get close to him. It reminded her of her grandma in modern times.

"Grandma?" The old woman was a little confused.

"Yes, where we call grandma, we just call grandma." Mu Qingwan explained with a smile.

The old woman smiled and nodded, "It's up to you."

At this time, the palace maids who went in to get the medicine had come back. At the old woman's signal, the two palace ladies helped her treat the wound, then applied the medicine, and then left.

"You said your name was Mu Qingwan just now?" The old woman asked someone to make a cup of hot tea to warm her up.

Mu Qingwan nodded and stared down at the green tea in the tea cup. The slowly rising mist made her face hazy and slightly moist.

"As far as I know, Mu Qingwan is the princess of the Western Chu Kingdom, our newly appointed queen of Beiyan. Why do you appear here in such a mess at such a late hour?"

Mu Qingwan was stunned for a moment, but didn't know how to talk about it.

Even she herself felt that her current situation was extremely ridiculous. For a high-ranking princess to marry another high-ranking king, it was supposed to be a good story in the world and a beautiful story passed down from generation to generation, but when it came to her, it was as painful as hell.

Should she say that she was forced to betray her beloved and marry this bloodthirsty man? Or should she say that she finally couldn't stand her husband's cruel treatment and chose to escape here?

I'm afraid no one will believe her when she talks about her suffering, and maybe some people will say she doesn't know what is good or bad.

But who knows that this royal palace that everyone is flocking to, this coveted post, are all gorgeous cages that restrict her freedom and break her wings?

Mu Qingwan took a sip of tea, but did not raise her head. She just said calmly: "I was just going for a walk, but I didn't expect that I got lost."

Although her eyes were red and swollen and her body was extremely miserable, there was no trace of weakness on her body. The resilience and stubbornness in her eyes made the old woman nod secretly in appreciation. But when she saw the scars on her body,

There was a hint of distress in his eyes.
