Princess Yufeng lowered her voice and said, "It's a mouse..."
Xu Mingyi was stunned.
What's so scary about a mouse? - Why don't you just throw it out if you pinch its tail?
However, everyone is afraid of different things and to varying degrees.
"She was originally afraid of mice, so that's why we kept so many cats in our house... I heard from Ye Mao that when my mother and others were young, they followed the late emperor to fight.
It was quite painful. Once in my sleep, a huge mouse crawled onto my face and bit me on my nose... From then on, I couldn't even hear the word mouse."
When Xu Mingyi heard this, her face wrinkled uncontrollably, and she felt that her nose suddenly became tight and itchy.
Although being bitten may not hurt much, the fear and nausea from such an experience are definitely more profound than the pain.
If this is the case, then the appearance of the eldest princess at this time is naturally understandable, after all, she is still just a child.
But……
"Why did a mouse suddenly appear?"
That's not to say that there won't be any rats in the eldest princess's mansion, but since the eldest princess is so scared, everyone in the mansion must be very concerned about catching and preventing rats.
And Jiaojiao just said that there are so many cats in the house——
If there were rats that accidentally broke in, even if they were not so frightened that they packed up their belongings and fled this deadly den overnight, they would have wiped out their descendants within a few days.
"I also find it strange." Princess Yufeng said: "Since I can remember, I have never seen what a mouse looks like in my home."
Why do we look for whoever is afraid? What kind of fate is this?
Princess Yufeng quietly pointed to the interior and whispered: "And she was bitten again...if not, she wouldn't be so afraid."
"His Royal Highness was actually bitten?" Xu Mingyi was surprised.
Ordinarily, if a rat isn't extremely hungry, it shouldn't bite humans, right?
And being bitten by a rat can be a big or small thing - although the plague will not appear in this place, you still need to take more precautions.
If a high fever occurs later, it will be troublesome.
Thinking like this, Xu Mingyi hurriedly returned to the inner room.
At the bedside, the eldest princess was willing to stretch out her hand for Akui to see.
"This is the one who was bitten by that thing..." Ye Mo said to A Kui in a very low voice, fearing to scare the eldest princess again.
Akui looked at it carefully, looking a little confused.
Xu Mingyi had also approached, and when he saw the two small wounds, he immediately made a judgment in his mind.
He was indeed injured.
There are also some marks that look like the sharp teeth of animals.
But it’s just like——
Not really.
She looked at the eldest princess who had stopped crying.
Princess Jingrong, you are lying...
Not only is he lying, but he is also acting.
And such a complete lie, as well as the wounds on his hands - it is definitely not something that a delirious "child" can do.
Xu Mingyi slowly tightened her fingers in her sleeves.
In other words, the eldest princess in front of her is awake...
And in this way, he told her that she was awake - the wound might deceive Ye Ma and Jiao Jiao, but it couldn't deceive anyone who knew medical skills at all.
But the eldest princess mobilized everyone to perform such a scene, was it just to give her a hint?
Xu Mingyi felt that something didn't make sense.
"Why hasn't eldest brother come yet? I want to see eldest brother..." Princess Jingrong's voice was hoarse and urgent.
Ye Mo said softly: "Don't worry, girl, we should be here soon..."
If he was just His Highness's eldest brother, he would naturally be able to meet him upon request, but in addition to being His Highness's elder brother, he is also the current His Majesty.
If something stumbles my feet, I'm afraid I won't be able to get out of the palace.
Xu Mingyi's eyes moved slightly.
Is the emperor coming?
"Don't be afraid, Your Highness, the wound shouldn't be serious." She spoke in a soothing tone: "After Akui has cleaned it up and bandaged it with medicine, it won't hurt anymore."
Aoi, who didn't know what to do, immediately understood.
The girl must have also noticed that something was wrong with the wound. Since the girl said she wanted to bandage it, she was asked not to talk too much and not to let others see that something was wrong.
Akui quickly made a show of cleaning the wound, applied medicinal powder, cut a white wound cloth and wrapped the finger tightly.
After doing all this, the eldest princess raised her hand, looked at it, her mouth dropped, and tears suddenly fell down again.
Ah, why did she cry again all of a sudden? Did she think the bandage was too ugly?
Akui is a little at a loss - it's really her fault that she's not delicate enough. How about taking it apart and tying a new bow?
At this time, the eldest princess was heard choking and saying: "When will eldest brother come over..."
Yes, when can we come? Come and comfort the children.
——Princess Yufeng said desperately in her heart.
Or maybe she was eager to get rid of it... No, it was because the desire to be filial to the world was too strong. As soon as these words fell out of her heart, she heard the maid trotting over to announce that the emperor had arrived.
After hearing this, everyone welcomed him into the outer hall.
Ye Mo quickly took the tender pink blouse on the screen and put it on the eldest princess.
Yes, she also knew that it was somewhat inappropriate for His Highness to wear this color at his age, but she couldn't do it without letting him wear it.
Emperor Qingming was quickly welcomed in.
As soon as Princess Jingrong saw her brother, who had been paying special attention to her in recent days, she seemed to have finally found someone to rely on, and rushed toward him, hugging Emperor Qingming and refusing to let go.
Princess Yufeng was dumbfounded.
But my heart felt a little sour for no reason.
She also takes care of Xie Dingning every day. How come she doesn't see Xie Dingning hugging her like this? Does she think she is not enough for her to rely on?
Strange to say, His Majesty didn't come. She was looking forward to someone sharing this burden with her. But when he came, she couldn't help but feel jealous - it turned out that the feeling of being a mother was so complicated, even if she was only halfway through becoming a mother.
"Okay, don't call people a joke..."
Emperor Qingming smiled helplessly, patted his sister on the shoulder, and helped her stand up.
Jing Rong had never been so close to him when he was a child. After this special period of getting along with him, she trusted and relied on him a lot.
Perhaps it was because since she woke up again, he was the only relative in front of her - after all, they were brothers and sisters whose blood was thicker than water. If Jingrong stayed like this for the rest of his life, he could let her live in peace.
After all, he is not someone who really wants to kill all his loved ones.
"Brother, I was...bitten again, look!"
Princess Jingrong stretched out her wrapped fingers, her eyes filled with grievances.
"I've heard everything, but does it matter?" Emperor Qingming said in a gentle tone.
"It's all bleeding!" the eldest princess said anxiously: "It must be because the rattle my father gave me is not there. I can't find it anywhere! Brother, do you know where it is?"
Why do you suddenly want another rattle?
Emperor Qingming was confused when he heard this, so he looked at Ye Mo beside him.
