When Prince Rui came back, he listened to what happened at the gate. His face sank, and he went to Mei Xiangju without saying anything.
Jin Xin knew that the prince would know about this when he came back, so he asked Lianrong to stand at the door and come and report to him if he heard any noise.
Lianrong heard the sound of the prince walking into Xiyuan from a distance, and hurriedly entered the room to tell Jin Xin.
Jin Xin hummed and said, "Don't complain to the prince. Just do your duty. If the prince asks you, just tell the truth about what happened in the morning."
Lianrong sighed and stood aside.
Jin Xin pretended to be slow in applying the medicine, and when the prince came in hastily, he saw her showing the wound.
Prince Rui saw that the face was red and swollen, and the scratches looked very serious. He actually saw pink flesh. When he saw this, he just felt distressed.
When Jin Xin saw the prince coming in, she stood up in panic and knelt in front of him, "My concubine, please give me peace, your Majesty."
Prince Rui raised his hand to pull her up, raised her chin, frowned, looked at the injuries, and asked, "Does it hurt?"
She turned away her face and smiled slightly, "My concubine has applied medicine. She will be healed in two days and there will be no scars."
Prince Rui frowned upon hearing this and asked in confusion, "Don't you have anything else to say to me?"
Jin Xin knew that he was waiting for her to complain.
But the pain was in front of him, and it would be hypocritical for her to say it. Moreover, she knew the status of Concubine Gao very well. If she said that she was wronged, Prince Rui would naturally question Concubine Gao, but it was nothing more than Concubine Gao. It's just a painless accusation.
"Your Majesty must know that what happened today is my concubine's fault. He will definitely be careful in the future and not be so arrogant." She held her face and lowered her eyebrows.
After all, it was Concubine Gao who had gone too far. Concubine Gao would make things difficult for whomever he favored. This was not the first time that this happened.
"What compensation do you want?" he asked.
"Your Majesty, it has been half a month since I entered the palace. I want to send a message to my mother. I am loved by the prince in the palace. I am grateful, but my family must not know that I am living so well. Thinking that the prince has allowed his maid to write letters home." She raised her eyes and looked at him expectantly, her eyes bright, full of innocence and joy.
Prince Rui looked at her innocence and smiled bitterly, "What's the problem? You can go back tomorrow. It just so happens that the princess has never returned to the Marquis Mansion to reunite with her family since she became pregnant. You can just go back together."
When Jin Xin heard this, she was overjoyed and hugged Prince Rui. This time she laughed sincerely and said, "I thank you, Prince."
"Did the princess send these to you?" he asked, looking at the pearl pendant on her head.
"Yes, it's because the concubine didn't know what to do. The princess comforted the concubine, and the concubine also understood her identity. There will be no next time." She said cautiously.
Prince Rui's handsome brows furrowed again, "Why are you so humble? Are you afraid that I won't make the decision for you?"
When Jin Xin heard this, her expression became nervous and flustered, and she hurriedly said, "No, I don't want to mention what happened today. I just want to treat it as if nothing happened, and just... let it go."
At the end of the sentence, her voice dropped as thin as a mosquito, and her expression was evasive and cowardly, which made him feel uncomfortable.
"You don't have to look down on yourself so much. It's me who promotes you. Is there anyone in this house who dares to question me?"
"I know, I know, I am the person promoted by the prince, I cannot look down on myself." She heard this and said with a happy smile.
These words relaxed the atmosphere, and he smiled helplessly, but when he saw the injury on her face, a coldness flashed in his eyes.
At this time, Wanyue was in the house, and Concubine Gao knew that the prince had gone to Mei Xiangju in Xiyuan first. She was so angry that she got angry in the room again and scolded the servants.
"I asked you to wait in the front yard. When you see the prince, please come to my room. One by one, you are so stupid. The prince went to that bitch's room first. How can you pretend to be pitiful?"
"Master, don't be angry. It's not worth it to make yourself angry. You should think about how to calm the prince down." Dong Ju who was beside her hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him.
Hearing this, Concubine Gao snorted, "I'm just a slave from a lowly background. Could it be that the prince can dispose of me for her sake?"
At most, it's just a scolding. When the time comes, she can just admit her mistake and say something soft.
Concubine Gao thought simply, so she asked people to stand at the door and watch. When people came, they would be invited in. She would make a show and cry a few times, and the matter would be over.
In the past, she had done this to the newly favored concubines and concubines, but this time it was just a little too much, but she didn't think it was anything. The prince was just fresh for the moment, and it would be over. .
But after waiting until dark all afternoon, there was still no news from the prince. Concubine Gao was originally ready to cry, but she couldn't wait for anyone to come, so she couldn't help but sit still.
I sent someone to inquire, and then I found out that the prince had gone to the princess's place and had dinner there tonight.
Concubine Gao suddenly couldn't sit still and wanted to go to Qiluan Court to find the prince, but was stopped by Dong Ju.
"Master, the prince is obviously angry, and he is deliberately trying to keep you in the dark. Won't you go over there and make the prince unhappy?"
"Then let the prince listen to Jiang Yushu's pillow talk?" Concubine Gao said anxiously through gritted teeth.
"There is nothing you can do about it. You have gone too far this time. You slapped the prince in the face in front of all the servants in the house. He is the one who admires the person and the things are rewarded by the prince. You have disgraced the prince. The prince did not come to deal with you, it was to give you face, but if you did, the prince would definitely be angry and force him to deal with you. When he is angry, you can apologize and say something nice, and the prince will not care. ”
Dong Ju's words finally made her calm down a little.
Thinking about it carefully, maybe the prince's anger will subside tomorrow morning. As long as he comes to find him, this matter will be over.
At this time, in Qiluan Courtyard, Prince Rui was having a meal. He saw Jiang Yushu suddenly retching. After a while, Jiang Yushu looked at Prince Rui apologetically and said, "You must have taken away the prince's interest."
"What are you talking about? You and I are one husband and wife, and you are carrying a child for me. It is me who has made you tired." He said with rare consideration.
Hearing this, Jiang Yushu's eyes felt a little hot, and she smiled slightly, "The prince has already said that husband and wife are one body, and the child born is our common blood, and I am willing to accept it."
Prince Rui put down his chopsticks and put his big hand on her belly. His eyes were a little expectant and much gentler. "When the child comes out, if it is a boy, my father will be happy."
Jiang Yushu also looked at her belly expectantly. It would be great if it was really a boy.
"By the way, the prince must have visited the Jiang family, right?" she asked.
Prince Rui took back his hand, gave a faint hum, and sighed, "Yun Wan is too willful. I didn't care about it in the past. I just thought that she was young and ignorant. Now I should teach her a lesson."
Jiang Yushu raised her ears, looking forward to how Prince Rui would deal with Concubine Gao.
"Just fine her half a year's worth of money, give her a supplement to the Jiang family, and ask her to compensate the Jiang family according to the price of all the things she destroyed. As for you, send a message to your mother and ask the palace to send a ceremonial nun. Teach her how to be a concubine, so that she won't cause trouble in the future."
When Jiang Yushu heard this, her expectations turned into disappointment.
What kind of punishment is this? Now that the teacher is here, can it change her temper?
However, since the matter is left to be handled by oneself, it can be regarded as falling into one's own hands.
