177 Another one crooked?

Princess Yufeng raised her hand and asked the maid to fasten the collar, and said: "It should be almost good."

The rumors outside have been disturbing people lately, and although I haven't really taken them to heart, they are still disturbing, so I don't have much thought to pay attention to such small things as the scars left by my mother's rash.

"Why don't I take A'Kui to have a look." Xu Mingyi said: "I think there will be some scars left, and it just so happens that A'Kui knows how to prepare scar-removing ointments——"

Princess Yufeng nodded without thinking, "That's fine."

Then he ordered a maid to lead the way.

Xu Mingyi took Akui to the residence of Princess Jingrong.

When the master and servant were brought into the courtyard, they saw a maid coming out of the side room carrying a medicine jar.

There is a faint trace of hot steam rising from the top of the medicine jar, which shows that the medicine inside is not just fried, but mostly the remaining medicine residue——

Xu Mingyi glanced at Akui.

Thinking of what the girl said when she arrived, Akui understood.

She lowered her head and took two steps in the direction where the maid was coming from. Just when she was about to rub shoulders with the maid, she tilted her body and looked like she had accidentally sprained her foot. She said "Ah!" and turned toward the maid.

The maid leaned away.

The two collided, and the maid was startled, and the medicine jar in her hand suddenly fell.

"Bang!"

The medicine jar shattered under someone's feet. Akui could barely hold herself steady, her face turned slightly pale with fright, and she hurriedly knelt down to clean up the mess on the ground, regardless of her "crushed foot."

"How do you walk..."

The incident happened so suddenly that the maid could not help but complain. However, the next moment she saw Akui's face clearly and Xu Mingyi who was standing not far away, the dissatisfaction on her face immediately turned into surprise.

She knelt down and asked with bright eyes, "Isn't sister Akui, the miracle doctor next to Miss Xu?"

Akui said softly "ah".

It seems that she has never met this sister.

The maid seemed to see her doubts and whispered in an admiring tone: "Now in our circle in Beijing, who has never heard of Sister Akui's name..."

Akui smiled reluctantly. Is she already so famous among the maid circles in the capital?

While wiping, he wrapped some medicinal residue into the handkerchief.

"Sister Akui, is it difficult to learn medicine?" the little girl asked curiously.

Akui smiled and shook his head.

It's not difficult at all.

The difficulty is not studying medicine at all——

But to have a master like her girl.

With a master like this girl, it would be unreasonable for me not to be a miracle doctor.

Seeing that this talkative little girl wanted to say something more, Akui jumped in front and said, "I'm really sorry. I accidentally bumped into you just now, and now the medicine jar is broken... Will you be punished?"

?”

The little girl hurriedly said: "It doesn't matter, I will explain the reason. The grandma in charge won't say anything."

Outsiders think that the eldest princess's mansion is like a devil's cave, but in fact it is just the opposite - the master is generous and does not care, the stewards have good tempers, their work is easy, and there are beautiful men everywhere.

Even if you don’t pay monthly money, you will have to stay for the rest of your life!

"That's good."

Akui breathed a sigh of relief, and the fragments of the medicine jar were quickly collected.

Hiding the handkerchief in her hand, Akui walked towards Xu Mingyi who was waiting in the corridor.

"I'm sorry for not being careful for a moment," Xu Mingyi said to the housekeeper beside her.

"What's the big deal? Did you hurt your foot?" The housekeeper's attitude was gentle.

"It's okay." Akui looked down at the back of her hand stained with the concoction, and said softly: "It's just that I have to prepare the medicine for Her Royal Highness the Princess later..."

The housekeeper smiled and called a girl over and said, "Take Miss Akui down to clean her hands."

Akui felt blessed and followed the girl to the side room.

Taking advantage of this interval, she checked the Chinese medicine residue on the handkerchief, then put the handkerchief away again, washed her hands carefully, and then walked out.

Xu Mingyi, who was waiting in the outer hall, looked at her.

Akui moved her lips and uttered a few words silently.

"...?" Xu Mingyi was silent with complicated emotions.

She's not very good at lip reading, especially when speaking so fast... Aoi has read too many words in her book.

Fortunately, Akui understood the confusion in her girl's eyes. She quickly looked around for a moment, and finally fixed her gaze on the floor-standing amphora vase that was as tall as a person next to the curtain.

Xu Ming looked over without any clue.

The lake-blue bottle is painted with jade-white epiphyllum flowers.

Dendrobium...?

In fact, when the medicine jar shattered just now, she could vaguely smell the scent of tangerine grass.

This is not a poison, it is just a rare medicinal material that is rarely used. But with such a strong smell that cannot even be covered up by other medicinal materials, and it was specifically mentioned by Akui, there is only one possibility - this medicinal use

The quantity is extremely heavy.

The master and servant entered the inner room.

The eldest princess had just finished drinking the medicine. She was leaning on the couch while several people were beating her legs and squeezing her shoulders. When she heard that the Xu family girl had arrived, she asked everyone to leave.

Akui stepped forward and inspected the back of Princess Jingrong's hand, and said: "Fortunately, the scar is not deep, just a little heavy in color. I will prepare some appropriate amount of ointment for Your Highness and apply it on it. You should be able to recover in less than a month."

Already."

Princess Jingrong always loves beauty, so she nodded when she heard this.

"When we arrived, the required medicinal powder was already prepared in the carriage. My maid will go and prepare it for Your Highness."

Princess Jingrong nodded slightly. After Akui retreated, she looked at Xu Mingyi and said with a smile: "Miss Xu is interested."

Miss Xu was so concerned about this little thing on the back of her hand, which actually made her a little confused.

After all, she is a dignified girl from the Duke's palace, so there is no need to please her, an eldest princess with no real power or reputation.

If it was just for Jiao Jiao's sake, I just sent the maid to go there, but there was no point in coming here in person.

You can't... be looking at the beautiful faces in her house?

Thinking of this possibility, Princess Jingrong couldn't help but feel a little uneasy - she had tried not to mess around in front of her children, could it be that she had accidentally misled another one?

"Actually, I have something I want to talk to His Highness alone." There was only one personal nanny in the room, and Xu Mingyi said frankly: "If I come here rashly, I'm afraid someone with a heart will notice something strange, so I just found an excuse to look at His Highness's injuries.

.”

Hearing what she said, Princess Jingrong couldn't help but be a little surprised.

Firstly, these words surprised her, and secondly, the caution revealed in the other party's words——

"I wonder if Miss Xu has anything to say to me?" Princess Jingrong asked in the tone of talking to a child, still leaning there lazily, her expression not showing much seriousness.

"During Jia Junzhi's death, has His Highness ever thought that someone was deliberately targeting the eldest princess's residence?"

The girl sitting there asked calmly.

The eldest princess's eyes changed slightly.
