After he finished speaking, he took out a handkerchief and said, "She embroidered this handkerchief for me. She also made several purses for me."
When Zuo Xingzhi saw the bamboo embroidery on the handkerchief, the embroidery work was very exquisite, which showed that he had put great care into it.
He and Qi Jianlan had been together for many years, and although she had given him some valuable items, she had never made anything for him with her own hands.
At this moment, Zuo Xingzhi finally understood that although the items Qi Jianlan gave him were valuable, they had no intention, and none of them were made by her own hands.
He felt a little sour in his heart.
In the evening, Tang Miaoxin received the wound medicine made for her by the Tai Hospital. She brought the ointment to her nose and smelled it, the corners of her mouth slightly raised.
Qi Jianlan thought that after making the ointment and giving it to her, she wouldn't be able to do any more manipulation?
Innocent!
It was true that Tang Miaoxin's wound was inflamed, but it was all within her control.
Her injury was not serious in the first place, and it was a very simple matter to heal her injury.
She was lying when she said she wouldn't treat the nobles in the capital. No one looked forward to leaving the palace more than she did.
If she agrees too readily, Qi Jianlan will definitely become suspicious and may even prevent her from leaving the palace.
So refusing is the best way to deal with it, not only to get out of the palace, but also to get the best interests for her.
Ning Guzhou must have arrived in Zicheng, and she could only contact him after leaving the palace.
Only by contacting her and letting him confirm her safety can he rest assured.
Only after he felt reassured could he formulate a plan to rescue her and Sweet Pea.
Anyway, judging from the current situation, if she wanted to bring Little Sweet Dou back to the palace, she would have to demolish the Qi State's palace.
Otherwise, with Qi Jianlan's level of caution, she would have no chance at all.
As for Emperor Qi Xuan saying that he would help her rescue Little Sweet Dou, just listen to this.
Now he just wants to use her to kill Qi Jianlan. Once Qi Jianlan dies, he is afraid that he will immediately kill her and Xiao Tiandou and put the blame on Qi Jianlan.
Regarding the royal family, Tang Miaoxin had seen their disgusting methods when she was in Dayan, and she no longer had the slightest hope for them.
As for how to demolish the imperial palace of Qi State, this is a technical job and it will take Tang Miaoxin some time.
Shuxiu came over to help Tang Miaoxin apply the medicine and said, "Doctor Tang, you'd better not make the princess angry in the future."
"When the princess gets angry, you will only suffer the consequences."
Tang Miaoxin reached out and lifted Shuxiu's chin and said, "Are you concerned about me?"
After getting along with her these days, Shuxiu felt that Tang Miaoxin was a nice person and had saved her life, so she wanted to give her some advice.
Shuxiu waved her hand away: "Doctor Tang, I am serious. You should be more serious."
Tang Miaoxin chuckled: "I am also very serious. You are just an eyeliner who keeps an eye on me. It is not what you should do to care about my safety."
Shuxiu was stunned for a moment, then said after a while: "You are right, but even if I am an eyeliner, I am still a human being with my own feelings and judgments."
Her voice became softer when she said this, and when she saw that the other palace maids were farther away, she said softly: "I know you want to sow discord between the princess and Mr. Zuo."
"The relationship between the two of them is extremely deep and cannot be provoked by you."
"What you are doing now is very dangerous. It is better not to do it again."
"You should heal the princess well. The princess is a grateful person and will definitely let you and Sweet Dou go."
Tang Miaoxin thought Shuxiu was interesting, so she asked, "You think I'm trying to instigate feelings between your princess and Mr. Zuo, why don't you report me?"
Shuxiu lowered his head slightly and said, "You saved me, but I don't want you to die."
A smile burst into Tang Miaoxin's peach blossom eyes. She reached out and tapped Shuxiu's forehead and said, "You said you don't care about me, you duplicitous girl!"
Shuxiu: "..."
Tang Miaoxin added: "You have stayed in the palace for many years, and you should know that once your heart softens, you are likely to face death."
Shuxiu pursed her lips and said, "I know, but I still don't want you to die. But if you commit suicide every day, I can't save you."
Tang Miaoxin smiled and said after a while: "Shuxiu, is there anyone else in your family?"
Shuxiu was stunned for a moment and said softly: "My parents are still alive at home, and I have a pair of younger siblings."
"Back then, my family was so poor that we couldn't take the blame, so my father sold me, and my buyer used me to replace his daughter in the palace as a maid."
Tang Miaoxin asked her: "Do you hate your parents?"
Shuxiu's eyes were a little confused. After a while, she shook her head and said, "I don't hate it. If they didn't sell me, I would have starved to death long ago."
Tang Miaoxin continued to ask: "Then have you ever thought about leaving this palace?"
Shuxiu was stunned again, then shook his head: "I don't know what I can do after leaving the palace, so I don't want to leave."
Tang Miaoxin smiled: "There are so many things you can do after leaving the palace. You can do whatever you want."
"And there aren't as many rules as there are in the palace outside, and you don't have to worry about losing your head if you make your master unhappy."
"You can find someone you like, marry, and then start a small business. If you have nothing to do, go shopping and buy a piece of floral fabric to make a dress."
"If you don't want to get married, you can follow me and I will take you to see the mountains and rivers of the Six Kingdoms, the sea in the south, the snow-covered mountains in the north, the thousands of miles of yellow sand in the west, and the green peaks in the east."
There was a trace of longing in Shuxiu's eyes. She could not even imagine such a life.
Tang Miaoxin glanced at her and said, "It's a little early to say this now, after all, we can't leave here now."
"But if one day you have the opportunity to leave, I hope you will consider it."
When she glanced at her, Shuxiu felt as if he could see straight into her heart and see through her, so she subconsciously looked away.
After she put Tang Miaoxin to sleep, she went to revive Qi Jianlan and explained everything that happened today in detail.
After listening, Qi Jianlan asked: "Do you want to go out to the palace?"
This time Shuxiu shook her head decisively: "This slave is the princess's secret guard. She will stay with the princess no matter life or death."
Qi Jianlan had no doubts about her loyalty. She waved her hand and said, "Continue to serve Tang Miaoxin well. If she has any abnormality, report it immediately."
Shuxiu responded and stepped back.
On her way back, she unconsciously thought of Tang Miaoxin's words. Who doesn't want to live a free life?
It's just that people like her may never have freedom in this life.
She doesn't hate Tang Miaoxin in her heart, she even likes him a little, but her personal preferences have never been important.
She knew this clearly, but some of her emotions could not be expressed. She subconsciously stepped on the stones on the roadside, crushing them directly.
Tang Miaoxin knew it when Shuxiu left. She turned over and raised her eyebrows lightly.
From the first moment she saw Shuxiu, she knew that she was no ordinary maid.
