Chapter 59

Qiu went to talk to her.

Quan Juan was abused by a disgruntled concubine in Beiming Palace when he was young. The worst time was when those people threw him into a well in the cold winter months. It was clearly intended to put him to death in such a cold day.

Later, he somehow crawled out of the mottled well wall alone, and suffered a serious illness, but it was his fate that made him survive.

There are too many tricks in the palace, and the dirty tricks that those people are used to is to hold people down and prick them with silver needles soaked in salt water. The needles are so thin that they are very uncomfortable on the body, and they are guaranteed to leave no traces.

These may be just the tip of the iceberg, Quan Juan may have suffered more than she heard, but these Quan Juan didn't complain and confide a word, no one.

For the rest, Qiu Qu didn't want to talk to her any more, only that he shouldn't talk to her about these things.

After a long silence, Su Tian said: "Qiu Qu, don't tell him what we said today."

Tilting her head, Su Tian saw a bergamot in front of her that hadn't bloomed and was hit by the rain with her head drooping, and her heart suddenly felt blocked again.

She held up a small umbrella with both hands together, and stood on tiptoe clumsily on the bergamot flower bud.

She was extremely embarrassed by the rain, and the bergamot hairpin on her head was tilted to one side.

Su Tian muttered: "Hua'er, Hua'er, grow up and bloom quickly."

When the rain subsided a little, Su Tian found the way back.

By this time the sky was already dawning.

"His Royal Highness, you are back." Jiu Lixiang was in a hurry in the corridor, and when he saw someone, he hurried up to meet him from a distance: "It rained so much at night, where did you go, Your Highness, I searched all over the palace. I haven’t seen anyone anymore, I’m really worried about the death of slaves this night.”

Hearing Jiulixiang's voice, Su Tian blankly raised her plain white face, which was still stained with water.

As he got closer, Jiu Lixiang realized that Su Tian was soaked all over, and couldn't help but took out a handkerchief to wipe Su Tian's water droplets that kept rolling down from her temples, "Why do you get wet all over? I don’t know how to find a place to take shelter from the rain, because water can be wrung out from inside and outside of my body.”

"I'm fine." Su Tian shook her head, feeling the heat blowing towards her face, she suddenly sneezed: "Ah Choo."

"Why are you all right? Your Highness's hands are as cold as ice cubes. Go back to the palace quickly. This servant will wait for you to change into your clothes..." As he spoke, he pulled Su Tian to the inner side of the corridor, protecting her from the wind and rain coming in from the corridor.

Su Tian ordered and moved, followed Jiu Lixiang into the Chongren Hall in a murmur.

Jiu Lixiang called the palace servants to come in and help her bathe and change clothes after busy work.

The palace servants carried petals, incense sticks and other things into the bathroom separated by a barrier, sprinkled the petals in the bucket of hot water, tested the temperature of the water, and called out: "Jiu Gugu, the bath water It's ready."

"Understood, you all go down." Jiu Lixiang quickly helped Su Tian take off her drenched coat, helped her open the bead curtain and walked into the cloud-filled wooden barrel, raised her hand to test the water temperature, "Your Highness , the temperature is just right."

"Ah Choo." The temperature was a little low at night, Su Tian couldn't help but sneezed again.

Jiu Lixiang hurriedly took a few steps outside, and said to the outside: "Bring some fresh ginger slices in."

Ginger slices are added to the bathtub, although the smell is not very pleasant, but the effect is still there.

Su Tian let Jiu Lixiang lead her to toss, and never said a word.

While helping her twist her hair, Jiu Lixiang said tirelessly: "My servant has sent someone to bring the stove and ingredients. After a while, this servant will cook the new food for His Highness. His Highness will definitely like it after tasting it."

Su Tian lay askew on the couch, with only half of her head sticking out of the bed, looking at the beams with dull eyes, wondering where her mind was wandering.

After twisting her hair, Jiu Lixiang went to rub Su Tian's cold palms again, and muttered: "Your Highness has taken a bath, why are your hands still so cold, don't be really sick, and your Highness doesn't like it after taking medicine in the hospital." Drink, but if you don’t drink the medicine, you won’t be cured of the disease, so what to do..."

"My housekeeper, can we be quiet?" Su Tian was so irritable, "I'm so annoyed, I just want to be alone."

Jiu Lixiang sighed, and said sadly: "It seems that this servant is getting old, and His Highness has already begun to dislike this servant, so I might as well hang myself with a rope."

Su Tian didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Okay, okay, you go, go."

"...Your Highness...don't you stop the servant..."

"Ah Jiu." Su Tian took a deep breath: "To tell you the truth, you have been with me since I was a child, and you are the most caring person who knows the cold and the hot, but now you have indeed reached the age when you should leave the palace. Although I hate you, I also don't want to watch you become a sister-in-law here, if you have someone you like and wants to marry someone out of the palace, I will definitely prepare the thickest dowry for you."

"Did Your Highness really despise your slaves?" Jiu Lixiang's eyes turned red: "Slaves don't marry, slaves will stay with His Highness for the rest of their lives."

"Hey, what kind of nonsense is this, my Ajiu is beautiful and virtuous, how could she not marry for the rest of her life?"

"His Royal Highness says that again, and this slave will have to swear to himself tomorrow that she will never marry."

"Okay, what are you combing yourself, I just don't say anything, and when you want to get married, I will tell me to make the decision for you."

Jiu Lixiang responded, slapped his head suddenly, and said: "By the way, I'll go and have a look at the things sent by the servants, and make some food for His Highness."

Jiu Lixiang came out of the hall, but didn't see anything, just about to remind her, she saw several eunuchs carrying the things in.

"Put it here, move lightly, put it away and go out."

The milk was heated on the stove. Jiu Lixiang was afraid that the taste would not be enough, so he added a spoonful of grated osmanthus sugar, and then took advantage of the heat to mix the milk with the squeezed ginger juice. In an instant, the milk had curdled.

Jiu Lixiang let out a long breath, cooled the bowl carefully in cold water, and then put it in the ice cup.

When she lifted the curtain and entered the inner room with the bowl, Su Tian had already dozed off on the couch.

"Your Highness, Your Highness..." Jiu Lixiang stepped forward, bent down and gently pushed her: "Wake up, you didn't eat last night, and you didn't eat anything this morning, get up and eat something before going to sleep. "

Su Tian opened her sleepy eyes and lowered her eyes to the bowl in Jiu Lixiang's hand: "What is this?"

Jiulixiang hurriedly stuffed a soft pillow behind her, and handed the bowl up: "This is a new food that I have learned to eat. It is made of His Highness's favorite sweet milk, and fresh ginger juice is added in it. Your Highness yesterday. It's raining, eat as much as you want."

Hearing the word ginger, Su Tian lost her appetite.

But Ah Jiu has worked so hard, so she should applaud her.

After a pause, Su Tian reached out to take the bowl, dug a spoonful with the cool jade spoon hesitantly, and carefully licked it with her tongue.
