They were not too close. Ruan Yuyi was here, and it was difficult to see his expression.
But she could still feel his burning gaze, lingering on her body. Her cheeks were red without rouge, and her lips were bright without lipstick. She recalled the scene just now in a daze.
He seemed to have a strong preference for her ankle with the chain on it. He liked to make the bell ring continuously. The more rings he made, the stronger the force on his hand seemed to become, until he pinched her ankle until it turned blue.
.
He pinched her ankles and folded her legs up. Because she had been dancing since she was a child, her body was much softer than ordinary people, and she could move her body easily. Sometimes when she glanced at her, she could almost do it.
I caught a glimpse of gold.
When Ruan Yuyi saw him looking at her, she stepped forward and saluted, "Your Highness." She didn't have much strength in her body and swayed slightly before regaining her balance.
Jiang Huaiyang responded in a low voice. The young lady in front of him had a face as bright as a peach blossom, which made his throat tighten, as if he was the one who had been drugged instead of her.
He didn't embarrass her too much, but sent Haosheng back to his house. When he saw her walking slowly inside, the east corner door of Cheng's house was closed in front of his eyes, and then in a deep voice he ordered the coachman to drive the carriage away.
As soon as Ruan Yuyi returned to the wing, she leaned on the couch and didn't want to move.
Mu Xiang boiled water in the bathroom, and then came to call her. Seeing her languid look, she couldn't help but blame the prince. She coaxed, "Miss, the water has been put away."
She also knew that she couldn't stay like this forever, so she followed Muxiang to the bathroom. It wasn't until her entire body was immersed in water of a suitable temperature that she felt a little more alive and couldn't help but sigh softly.
Mu Xiang took the soap locust and applied it on the young lady's body. While looking at the red marks on the side of her neck and the bruises on her ankles, she couldn't bear to look at them and averted her eyes.
Although she felt sorry for the young lady, how did she know that when Ruan Yuyi almost lost her mind, she scratched and bit Jiang Huaiyang, but he was not angry at all.
Ruan Yuyi picked up a handful of water and poured it on herself. She subconsciously ignored the remaining heat on her body and said softly, "Muxiang, can we not be so worried in the future?"
Yes, to her, this is just a transaction, using an innocent body in exchange for a relative freedom. If she hadn't said this, Mu Xiang would have forgotten it, and she had started to think about it unconsciously.
Miss's future.
The two of them are in harmony with the prince, and will not think of the opposite. The young lady can be her prince's concubine in a graceful manner. From now on, if the medicine is bitter, someone will give you preserves, and if someone bullies you, someone will support you.
She can see the young lady who can act like a spoiled brat as much as she did when she was a child.
But Ruan Yuyi's question was like a basin of ice-cold water, which brought Mu Xiang back to reality. A sudden sadness surged in her heart. If the eldest young master had not found another beautiful woman, the young lady would not have had to do this.
She suppressed the tears in her eyes and said warmly, "Of course. Prince Yu's Mansion is the eldest son's master. When the eldest son speaks, he, a small retainer, will have no choice but to obey. The young lady will not ask him to bully him again, and His Highness will protect him."
Your."
Mu Ling brought the freshly boiled water and added some more after careful consideration to prevent the water from getting cold.
Ruan Yuyi didn't know what she was thinking. She stirred the water in the bathtub nonchalantly with her hands and responded in a low voice. She felt that the water temperature was almost about the same, so she called the wood spirit to stop.
It wasn't until she refilled the water several times that she finished bathing.
She lowered her head and let Mu Xiang dry her body and wait for her to change clothes. Then she went to rest on the bed.
She thought that she would feel better after sleeping, but without the warm water and the chill coming up, she felt something was wrong more and more. The heat in her body did not decrease by half, but remained hidden in her body for a while.
The position is coming.
She curled up into a ball and clutched the quilt tightly in her hands, as if this would make her feel better.
But she was still trembling uncontrollably, and a numbness covered her spine, making her weak and afraid to move.
By the time Mu Xiang noticed something strange about her, she had already buried her head in the brocade quilt and fell into a deep sleep. Her face was flushed, her forehead was covered with a thin layer of sweat, and the scent of perfume was lingering in the curtain.
Mu Xiang saw that she was still frowning and pursed her lips in her dream, fearing that she was trapped in a nightmare, so she gently pushed her shoulder and called, "Miss, Miss——"
Ruan Yuyi let out a cry, then slowly woke up, opened her eyes, and suddenly felt that the heat was coming over her again, as if it was going to erode her whole body.
"Miss," Mu Xiang probed her forehead and asked worriedly, "How about I go and invite the doctor here."
She knew that this was not a fever, which could be solved with some medicine from the government doctor, so she said with difficulty, "No need, just go and get me a glass of cold water."
"But you look like -" Mu Xiang hesitated. The lady didn't seem to be feeling well, especially since she fell into the water and developed a fever after catching a cold. This can't be delayed, as it will burn her body.
Ruan Yuyi still didn't let go, she just said she wanted a glass of water.
The woody fragrance couldn't resist her, so she had no choice but to go. She quickly drank the almost full glass of water, and the coolness slipped into her throat, and she suddenly felt the heat in her body dissipate.
After that, she fell into a deep sleep, occasionally waking up a few times. One time, Mu Xiang woke her up and forced her to eat some dinner. She walked around the courtyard for a while, and then was allowed to go back to bed.
The red curtain covered the entire bed. Through the curtain, everything outside was red. She stared at the red and lost consciousness again at some point. Because no one disturbed her, she didn't wake up until the next morning.
.
In the morning, he went to Cheng Zhu's place to say hello, so he excused himself from feeling unwell and did not go.
Mrs. Cheng Zhu was entangled in her eldest son's marriage and had no time to pay attention to her. But Zhaorong became suspicious. She was clearly fine the last time she saw her, but why did she suddenly fall ill? Could it be that a piece of paper and a letter of departure had hit her?
Her body collapsed.
With a victor's mentality, Zhaorong sent the doctor to check on her body.
Although it was just to get rid of her diaphragm, it was also called a good time. It would be an auspicious day for them in a few days. My sister should not get sick at this juncture and cause bad luck for nothing.
The doctor was already waiting at the door, and Ruan Yuyi couldn't refuse, so she returned to the bed, put down the curtain, and asked Mu Xiang to invite the person in.
In the red tent, she could vaguely see the doctor of the mansion saying, "I've seen Miss Biao."
She hummed in a low voice as a response.
She didn't know that the curtain was really too bright, as red as fire, which made her body burn hot again. She unconsciously tightened the brocade quilt under her body, pressed it tightly against her teeth, and suppressed the low gasp in her throat.
"Miss Cousin, can you describe in detail what's causing your discomfort? That way I can make a better diagnosis."
