Hua Xi Wan knew that she had only hit her head. Even though she had bled a bit, it was not as serious as the rumors said. She didn't know if the rumors were false or if Yan Jinqiu had intentionally allowed the rumors to spread, so she cooperated and stayed in bed to rest. If she was bored, she would have the singers in the fu sing for her. If she was annoyed, she would have the acrobats in the fu perform tricks for her. She did all she could to make her days in bed more comfortable.
"Jun Wang Fei, the nurse has come to change your bandages." Bai Xia walked in from outside and helped Hua Xi Wan sit up. She placed a soft pillow behind her back.
Hua Xi Wan had the acrobats leave. "Let her in."
The nurse waited until the servant girls in the room opened the curtain for her before she walked in. She was responsible for treating external injuries. Even though she had stayed in the Imperial Hospital for many years, she had never come to Prince Xian's fu. Today, seeing Prince Xian's fu painted with every five steps and scenery with every ten steps, she finally believed what her father had said. The previous emperor had really doted on the original Xian Wang Fei.
Princess Xian's room was elegantly decorated, but it did not make people feel that it had lost the dignity of a prestigious family. It could be seen that the person who had decorated the room had put in a lot of effort and care for the owner of the room.
"This one greets Xian Junw.a.n.g Fei." The female doctor saw a plainly dressed beauty lying on the bed and knew that this was Xian Junw.a.n.g Fei who was favored by Xian Junw.a.n.g Fei. She went forward and curtsied. "This one has received orders from the Director to change your dressing."
"Thank you for your trouble, Daren." The voice of the person on the bed was very soft and carried a hint of seduction. As a woman, the nurse felt her heart go numb and couldn't help but want to look at the person on the bed a few more times. Although she was a female physician of the Imperial Hospital, she was only an eighth-rank doctor. Many people from aristocratic families looked down on women practicing medicine. Their words and deeds often showed contempt. There were not many people who were as sincere and polite as Princess Xian.
"Jun Wang Fei, please don't move. It may be a little painful at the beginning." The female doctor walked forward and carefully removed the gauze that had been applied before. Seeing that the wound was not red and swollen, she breathed a sigh of relief. She dipped a cotton ball in the medicinal wine to wash off the ointment around the wound and said softly, "Jun Wang Fei, your wound is recovering very well. For the next few days, pay attention to the ventilation in the room. Don't let it be hot or stuffy, and don't let it come into contact with water."
When washing the wound, the female doctor became even more careful, but she knew in her heart that no matter how careful she was, it would still hurt. Fortunately, Xian Junw.a.n.g Fei did not punish her for this. She didn't even snort. After the medicine was changed, the female doctor sighed in relief. "Junw.a.n.g Fei, the medicine has been changed."
Hua Xi Wan thanked her again and asked Bai Xia to personally send the nurse out. The status of female physicians in the Imperial Hospital was not as high as that of men. In addition, many people felt that women's medical skills were definitely not as good as men's, so the trust in female physicians was not high. Even those women from aristocratic families had the same opinion.
However, in Hua Xi Wan's view, the female physician just now was very skilled in treating the wound. Her actions and words were also very natural and graceful. They were both women, so she wanted to give her some face.
The female physician was personally sent out by Bai Xia and was sent back to the Imperial Hospital by the carriage of Prince Xian's Manor. Many colleagues envied her because she actually received Princess Xian's personal attention.
Not long after the female physician was sent out, the Empress's reward came. The eunuch who announced the decree was the chief steward of the Empress' palace. He was very polite to Yan Jinqiu and his attitude was exceptionally low.
"I don't know how Jun Wang Fei's injury is. The Empress is very concerned about Jun Wang Fei, so she specially sent this humble one to ask." Zhao Dong saw that it was difficult to distinguish between joy and anger on Prince Xian's face and knew that this matter was probably not going to be settled. "The Empress heard that Jun Wang Fei was injured and has been unable to eat or sleep well. If it wasn't for the fact that she can't leave the palace at will, she would have come to personally visit Jun Wang Fei."
"How can my wife bear the Empress's concern?" Yan Jinqiu finally showed a trace of a smile on his face, but this smile was a bit cold. "My wife is lucky. Even though her head was injured, fortunately, nothing major happened."
Hearing this, Zhao Dong immediately smiled and said, "Jun Wang Fei must be a person with good fortune. The Heavens bless, the Heavens bless."
Yan Jinqiu's thumb rubbed the teacup and said with a half-smile, "Isn't that the Heavens bless." He slowly took a sip of tea, "Gonggong, please report to the Empress that my wife's injury has not yet healed and is unable to personally thank the Phoenix's grace. Please forgive her, the Empress."
"I don't dare, I don't dare. This humble one will definitely pass on the message." Zhao Dong laughed dryly and bowed. He felt that he didn't dare to stay any longer. Prince Xian's present presence was too strong. He, he, was the chief steward of the Empress' palace, but in front of this ye, he really wasn't much of a person.
After Zhao Dong left with the young taijian, Yan Jinqiu raised an eyebrow and called Mutong over, saying, "Give the list of rewards to Jun Wang Fei to look over. Don't send the items to Jun Wang Fei. If Jun Wang Fei lacks anything, just take it from my storehouse. These things …" His gaze swept over the items the Empress had bestowed, "Find a storehouse and put them there."
"Yes," Mutong looked at the rewards. They were all rare and good items. However, the Empress' paternal family didn't do things properly. No matter how many things there were, it couldn't be compared to the matter of Jun Wang Fei being injured. With the Imperial Brother-in-law's attitude, it was no wonder that Jun Wang Ye didn't like it.
The intelligence of the Fang Family had been given to the Empress. What was left were things that couldn't be shown in public. No wonder the Crown Prince was like this. It seemed that he had followed the Fang Family.
Mutong quickly presented the list in front of Hua Xi Wan. Hua Xi Wan scanned it and then put the list to one side, "Many thanks to the Empress for the Phoenix's grace."
Mutong bowed his head and didn't speak.
"Jun Wang Ye has been keeping me company in the fu these two days. Has he delayed the matters outside?" Hua Xi Wan had just finished drinking medicine and so rinsed her mouth with the help of a servant girl. After she finished, she used a handkerchief to wipe the corner of her mouth and said, "Go tell Jun Wang Ye that I am fine. Do not delay his business." She didn't want to wait until the future when Yan Jinqiu would say, "If it wasn't for you, I would have done it." She was worried that she would take off her shoe and slap it in his face.
"Jun Wang Fei, please do not worry." Mutong didn't answer whether there was anything outside and only said, "Jun Wang Ye is very worried about your wound. As long as you are better, Jun Wang Ye will be fine."
No wonder Yan Jinqiu liked to use a servant like Mutong. His eloquence wasn't bad. She smiled, "Alright, you just help your master to say nice things to scare me. The weather these two days has been hot and stuffy. Be careful, don't let Jun Wang Ye warm up."
"This little one will remember." When Mutong left the main yard, he finally felt relieved. For some reason, even though Jun Wang Fei's personality was very gentle, he didn't dare to be disrespectful.
Maybe … the heroism of Jun Wang Fei kicking away the stool and breaking the rockery was too shocking, so he couldn't help but admire her from the bottom of his heart?
Mutong finally understood the truth of the phrase "the fist is the absolute truth." It was worth celebrating.
Not long after Zhao Dong returned to the palace, he heard the Empress summon him to report. He didn't dare to hesitate and hurried in front of the Empress.
"How is Jun Wang Fei's wound?" The Empress' expression didn't change, but Zhao Dong sensed that the Empress placed great importance on this matter, so he spoke in full detail.
"When this little one arrived at Prince Xian's fu, I just happened to see a female doctor from the Imperial Hospital changing the dressing for Jun Wang Fei. I pretended to ask casually and said that the wound wasn't light." Zhao Dong felt that this was too general, but he could only relay it, "When this little one entered the fu, I didn't see Jun Wang Fei. It was said that she was resting in bed. Prince Xian was in the fu. This little one saw that his expression was gloomy, so I didn't dare to stay and came out. " He recounted his conversation with Xian Junw.a.n.g to the Empress. At the end, even he felt that Xian Junw.a.n.g Fei's injuries this time were not light.
After the Empress finished listening to his report, her brow furrowed slightly. She then sighed and said: "Has there been any news from the court?"
"This little one only heard that there were already people in court accusing Imperial Brother-in-law of injuring people in Jing. But the truth of the matter still needs to wait for His Majesty's decision."
The Empress' expression became even uglier. Originally, the Emperor was already dissatisfied with her because of the Crown Prince. Now that her paternal family had failed to live up to expectations and caused such a thing, what could she use to ask the Emperor for mercy?
Zhao Dong saw that the Empress wasn't speaking and obediently stood there.
"You can leave first," The Empress sighed and waved her hand for Zhao Dong to leave. She felt gloomy. Her son didn't live up to expectations, her paternal family didn't live up to expectations. If it wasn't for the fact that the Emperor only had the Crown Prince, she probably wouldn't have a place in the hougong.
"Empress, the Emperor has come." A palace maid hurried in to report. The Empress didn't have time to react before she saw the Qilong Emperor hurriedly stride in from outside.
"All of you, leave," The Emperor's expression wasn't right, but he knew that he couldn't lose his temper in front of the Empress's servants. After they all left, the Emperor angrily scolded: "Look at what your family has done. Right now, many of the prestigious families in Jing are accusing your paternal family of being insolent. How do you want zhen to help you cover it up?!"
"Emperor, qie is incompetent and didn't manage her paternal family well," The Empress knew that she couldn't go against the Emperor at this time, so she first showed weakness, "Right now, with Princess Xian in his hands, qie is very worried … …"
"You think that he only injured Xian Junwang Fei?" The Qilong Emperor's expression was cold as he said, "How many people in Jing are watching your family's actions? Even if you don't think for yourself, think for the Crown Prince. Do you want the world to know that the Crown Prince has such a maternal family?"
The Crown Prince's reputation was already terrible. If the Fang family caused trouble, it would be one disaster after another and irreparable.
When the Empress heard this, she was startled and couldn't speak. Should she blame her paternal family for not thinking for her, or blame her son for not living up to expectations? Or blame herself for not teaching the Crown Prince well and not managing her paternal family well?
After a long time, the Empress bowed deeply to the Qilong Emperor: "Qie knows her wrongs. Qie only asks for Emperor's concern and not to let the matters of her paternal family affect the Crown Prince."
The Qilong Emperor snorted and left with a flick of his sleeve. In his heart, the Empress was even colder.
The Empress looked at the Emperor's back. Tears rolled in her eyes, but in the end, they didn't fall.
