Chapter 199 of Qi Huan's text volume saw her old friend Princess Jian again and nodded: "That's Rong Xiao. Now you see that she is doing well, but if you don't follow her will, she will go crazy. Over time, she will go crazy."
, everyone had no choice but to let her go."
After saying this, Princess Jian looked at the woman: "It was you who recommended yourself to take care of her back then. Now that we are in this situation, what do you want me to do?"
The woman immediately knelt on the ground: "This slave overestimates her own capabilities and thinks that following my aunt's will, my aunt's illness will always get better. Who would have thought that it would be like this now? It's all my fault."
Princess Jian ordered: "Get up, you have no merit but hard work. I will try my best to treat her. If her disease improves, you don't have to keep struggling with her every day."
The woman responded and stood respectfully beside her, with a look of exhaustion on her face. It was obvious that Princess Jian's words could not comfort her.
You can imagine your state of mind after being with a person who may go crazy at any time all year round.
Xu Qinghuan turned around and looked at the furnishings in the room. The furnishings on the shelves were polished and polished, the table was covered with exquisite brocade, and the room was really decorated spotlessly.
Xu Qinghuan said: "Is this all done by Rong Xiao?"
"Yes," Princess Jian frowned, "When you are good, on the surface, you are no different from ordinary people, but when you are crazy, no one can get close to you. When you are noisy and tired, you will sleep all day and wake up.
She seems to be getting better again, but now whenever I hear that Rong Xiao refuses to sleep, I feel uneasy, for fear that she will go crazy again."
Xu Qinghuan looked out the door: "Why on earth did Rong Xiao get sick?"
Princess Jian sat on the brocade: "Speaking of which, I didn't take good care of her." She lowered her eyes, and when she raised them again, there was a bit of guilt in her eyes, "After Rong Xiao entered the palace, she accompanied me back.
Changzhou, the long journey on the road is not unavoidable and tiring. When we arrived in Changzhou, Rong Xiao felt a little acclimatized and fell ill all of a sudden. I asked a doctor to see a doctor for her, and then I found out that she was pregnant."
When Princess Jian said this, she paused slightly and raised her head: "Prince Jian's house has always had few heirs. I have only given birth to a son and a daughter for the prince in these years. I am naturally happy when the prince's house has good news, and people will serve him carefully.
He also sent people back to Beijing to report to the prince.
Rong Xiao was too weak and her fetus was unstable. Rong Xiao begged me to stay in Changzhou to recuperate. Although it was difficult for the prince's child to be born outside, the situation at that time was that for the sake of safety, Rong Xiao should be left in Changzhou to recuperate.
The baby was pregnant, so I stayed with him. Unexpectedly, another half month later, Rong Xiao had a stomachache and turned red. The doctor checked her pulse and said that the baby was stillborn. If the baby was not delivered without medicine, the adult would probably die too.
"
Xu Qinghuan said: "So you decided to give Rong Xiao a baby?"
Princess Jian nodded: "I have also experienced something like this. I don't know Rong Xiao's mood, so she advised her to just take care of herself. There will be more opportunities in the future. Rong Xiao refused to agree at first, but the blood was bleeding more and more. No matter who
There was no cure, so Rong Xiao had no choice but to take medicine.
After the stillbirth was born, the doctor nursed Rong Xiao back to health, and she would be healthy in just one month. Who knew... Rong Xiao couldn't think about it anymore, so she sent away the people around her and committed suicide. Fortunately, her servants discovered her in time and killed her.
She was saved, but she became like this."
Losing the child in the belly is a fatal blow to every mother. What Princess Jian said is consistent with what the Queen Mother said, and this is the result that everyone sees on the surface.
Xu Qinghuan retracted his thoughts and said: "Rong Xiao was ill, and the princess wanted to remind her of the past, thinking that this would make her illness better. Rong Xiao used to be a female official in Cining Palace and was very good at controlling her servants.
, that’s why the princess asked Rong Xiao to do these things.”
Princess Jian said: "I think as time goes by, she might be able to forget that sad thing. She is also a poor person. I don't want to see her go on like this..." Princess Jian's mood seemed even more intense at this point.
He said lowly, "But maybe this... is not bad, as long as she doesn't have any worries."
Xu Qinghuan said nothing, watching Princess Jian immersed in her own thoughts: "When I return to Changzhou, I will live in the princess's natal family, right?"
A sudden sentence made Princess Jian startled. She subconsciously wanted to nod, but she immediately came back to her senses and said: "The palace also has a separate courtyard in Changzhou, so naturally I live in the palace."
These words were spoken quickly and urgently. After saying this, Princess Jian immediately asked Xu Qinghuan: "What does Miss Xu want to ask?"
"No," Xu Qing said with a smile, "I just heard that the princess's mother-in-law is from a prominent family in Changzhou." Princess Jian was obviously lying just now. If we just looked at the princess's reaction, I am afraid that Rong Xiao would end up in this situation with Princess Jian.
The natal family has nothing to do with it.
So in recent years, Princess Jian’s natal family has become worse than before. Is it because of this incident?
"That happened in the past," Princess Jian said, "My brother was transferred to Huizhou, and my family members also moved there one after another."
"Changzhou has changed a lot over the years," Xu Qinghuan said. "My grandmother grew up in Changzhou. She often wants to go back to Changzhou to take a look. Every time she comes back, she talks about how many familiar families in Changzhou have moved away."
"Yes," Princess Jian picked up the tea and drank it, "Everything in the world is unpredictable, and there are many things that no one can imagine."
Xu Qinghuan remembered something: "When she came in just now, the princess said that she had invited a doctor to treat Rong Xiao. Why not invite the doctor here now?"
Princess Jian was slightly hesitant: "This doctor is none other than my natal nephew. He has been fond of studying the art of medicine and stone since he was a child. Recently, he has gained some skills. He wants to diagnose Rong Xiao's pulse and prescribe some medicine to try."
The person Princess Jian was talking about gradually appeared in Xu Qinghuan's mind. He was the son of Princess Jian's second brother, Xie Yuan.
In her previous life, she fell ill in Beijing. Thanks to Xie Yuan's prescription, her condition gradually improved. At that time, the Xie family was no longer prosperous. Xie Yuan finally got an official position far away from the capital. Before taking office, Xie Yuan even asked her.
I introduced a doctor and hoped that her condition would recover soon.
Later, she became seriously ill and left Beijing, and it was Xie Yuan who sent her a letter asking her to find Dr. Liao.
"Invite the second master over," Princess Jian ordered, then looked at Xu Qinghuan, "Let's go behind the screen and wait for news."
The servants moved the screen and set it up, and Rong Xiao also led the people into the house.
After everything was ready, the servant led a man through the door.
Xu Qinghuan could vaguely see a shadow across the screen. The man walked up to the screen and saluted. Princess Jian said: "You should diagnose him first and see what medicine he should prescribe."
Xie Yuan responded, and Rong Xiao sat down helplessly: "My master said that she would first let the doctor diagnose my pulse before she would do it to him."
Xie Yuan's voice was soft: "That's fine, I'll just trouble the girl." As he said that, he rolled up his sleeves and looked at Rong Xiao carefully with his eyes.
After a while, Xie Yuan took back his finger.
"How is it?" Rong Xiao asked.
A slight smile appeared on Xie Yuan's lips: "The girl is in good health and has no illness."
Rong Xiao nodded: "It shows that you have some abilities, I am not sick in the first place." Her voice was pleasant, as if she was very happy, "Master, now you are willing to let the doctor see you!"
Xu Qinghuan only heard Princess Jian sighing faintly: "Presumably he has not been diagnosed yet. Let's go out first. When Brother Yuan comes out, I will ask him carefully."
Princess Jian stood up and walked out, followed closely by Xu Qinghuan. As soon as the two of them walked out of the house, Xu Qinghuan saw a steward mother standing under the old mulberry tree not far away, sneaking toward Rong Xiao's house.
