Qian Qian hurriedly got up and called the girl to help Xiao Pei make soup and medicine. She also ordered people to wash the bloody bedsheets and clothes that Xiao Pei had changed. Seeing these bloody things, Qian Qian's heart felt like it was broken by a few things.
It feels like being pricked with thousands of needles.
This is a living life, a life that I killed with my own hands.
No matter what, I will do my best to protect you, Xiaopei.
Qian Qian knew that the princess would definitely summon her to come over and explain things clearly, so she hurriedly arranged things on Xiao Pei's side and chose two obedient and quiet maids to serve Xiao Pei.
Two more reliable servants were sent out to report the news to the guard, asking him to come over immediately to discuss the matter.
When these things were done in a hurry, the princess's order also arrived at the same time. Qian Qian raised her head and looked at the steady maid named Yunchan, and knew that the princess was indeed angry.
Yunchan is the personal maid next to the princess, and is usually not sent to serve as a successor. She has been in the palace for many years and has always been steady and down-to-earth. Even a picky person like the princess admires her very much. What she says can basically represent the princess.
Yunchan stood at the door and did not walk in. She just gently conveyed the princess's wishes and stood up to look at her.
He turned around and looked at Xiao Pei, who was still awake, and sighed, knowing that he would not be able to offend this maid. He told the others a few words and followed her out obediently.
The princess lay weakly on the imperial concubine's bed. The light makeup on her face could not hide her angry look. A maid beside her was gently massaging her temples, while she closed her eyes and forced her luck to adjust her breathing.
Qian Qian looked at the princess timidly, still showing signs of anger, and called out lightly, "Concubine, Nan'er is here to apologize!"
The princess lazily opened her eyes and glanced at Qian Qian. Goosebumps all over Qian Qian's body fell to the ground.
Blame and disappointment are no longer enough to describe her. Qian Qian felt an inexplicable sense of loss for a moment. How much the princess dotes on her own people, but this kind of doting has more or less authoritarian meaning.
But it’s always good to have someone who cares and loves you. This is the person who is closest to you by blood in this era!
The look in her eyes now clearly showed a bit of sadness.
"Mother concubine..."
Qian Qian choked up unconsciously, not knowing what to say or how to explain why she had just blatantly disobeyed her mother and concubine’s order in front of so many people.
"You're here."
The princess lazily sat up and straightened the folds of her clothes naturally. After sitting down dignifiedly, she winked at Yunchan. Yunchan soon understood and sent everyone out.
The last one went out and closed the door.
As soon as Qian Qian saw this posture, she knew that her mother-in-law must have a lot to say today, so she kept her head down and waited there as if she had done something wrong.
