Chapter 514 What a pity
Shen Jingyu forced herself to collect her thoughts and calm down.
No, Lou Yulan was so eager for her to perform, there must be some conspiracy, a trap must have been set for her.
She couldn't fall into their trap...
Shen Jingyu calmed down and thought that she should find an excuse to get out of it.
After thinking for a moment, Shen Jingyu gritted her teeth, walked to the corner and pretended to step on air, then she missed the stone steps and fell down.
"Ms. Shen! Are you okay?"
"How are you?"
Shen Jingyu didn't make much noise, but many people around saw it.
Someone came forward and helped her up in a hurry: "These stone steps look smooth, but there is actually a thin layer of ice on them. Everyone should be more careful."
Many people nodded. Because it was freezing cold and there were ice crystals everywhere, no one laughed at Shen Jingyu for falling.
Two unfamiliar young ladies from aristocratic families helped her up, and soon the eunuchs and the housekeeper from the palace came forward to take over.
"Ms. Shen, how do you feel?"
"Oh, my wrist seems to be swollen." Someone's eyes fell on Shen Jingyu's wrist and exclaimed.
Shen Jingyu's hands were covered with scars after she was stung by a wasp last time. She used a lot of makeup to cover them up every day, but they were still very ugly.
She gently put her hand back into her sleeve: "My wrist is fine, but I'm a little afraid to put force on my feet."
"I'll help you go to the back room to rest for a while. Xiao Linzi, go and ask the medicine boy beside Doctor Han to come over." The housekeeper said in a deep voice.
"Yes."
Shen Jingyu was helped into the room. The door of the room was wide open. It was next to the tents and was a place for older officials and their wives to stay.
Although the door was open, the charcoal fire inside was burning brightly. Hot tea and pastries were prepared in the room. There were some elderly women chatting and resting here.
After Shen Jingyu entered the room, everyone's eyes fell on her.
Madam Anguo's eyes fell on her and she spoke first: "What happened to Miss Shen?"
Aunt Qiao Mo, who was standing by, said, "Reporting to Madam Anguo, Miss Shen accidentally stepped on the stone steps and seems to have sprained her ankle."
Princess Rui on the other side said, "This is really torture. Go to the inner room and take a rest. Ask the people from the Imperial Hospital to come and take a look. Don't let the disease develop a root cause."
"Yes."
Shen Jingyu was supported by Aunt Qiao Mo into the inner room. Everyone's eyes fell on her and they couldn't help but shook their heads.
Mrs. An Guo shook her head slightly: What a pity.
Her cousin is the current Concubine Jing in the palace, and she also knows what her cousin is thinking.
Who could have imagined that in just a few months, this talented woman who was once famous in the capital would end up in the situation she is in today.
I don't think her injury will heal well. Even if it does, I'm sure my cousin will not choose her as her daughter-in-law.
After all, there are many good girls in the capital, and the Eighth Prince will have the opportunity to sit in that position in the future. Why force yourself?
Princess Hanyang frowned, covered her nose with a handkerchief, and asked in a deep voice, "Do you smell anything?"
The group of people looked at each other. The older ones didn't have a very sensitive sense of smell, and since the door was open, they didn't feel it was too pungent.
But the younger ones nodded in unison.
Princess Duan at the side said slowly: "It's too much trouble. Maybe there are too many people, so the smell is inevitably mixed."
Princess Hanyang curled her lips in dissatisfaction: "Mother, you are really so mean. I won't talk to you anymore."
After saying that, Princess Hanyang got up and left the room, intending to see if she could meet Xie Jingchi.
Princess Duan sighed and shook her head, saying, "Please forgive me, I have spoiled this child."
Princess Hanyang was the daughter of Prince Duan and his wife who were born in their old age. As they were living in a good and comfortable time, she was naturally extremely spoiled.
The speaker has no intention, the listener has the heart.
Ever since Princess Hanyang mentioned that taste, Shen Jingyu's heart has been hanging in the balance.
When her grandmother had told her about this method, she had never mentioned that her face would eventually become like this, neither human nor ghost.
I thought she could rest for some time, or at least wait until her injuries were almost healed before wearing it.
But it happened to be the end of the year and things kept happening.
The more difficult it was to finalize her marriage with the Eighth Prince, the more she dared not let her guard down.
All this seems to have become a vicious cycle.
Not long after, the pharmacist from the Imperial Hospital came over and carefully examined Shen Jingyu. He said, "Young lady's ankle is red and swollen. Fortunately, the tendons and bones are not injured. But you should rest and avoid exerting yourself."
"I'll get you some medicine. You can take it orally when you go home. Also, crush the herbs and apply them externally. It will reduce the swelling faster."
"Thank you."
When the medicine boy left, Madam Anguo stopped him and asked, "How is Miss Shen's injury?"
To be honest, she had a good impression of Shen Jingyu.
She is tactful and knows the big picture. If the Eighth Prince had not liked her, she would have wanted to marry her to his son.
The medicine boy said respectfully, "Madam Anguo, Miss Shen's ankle is swollen. Although it's not serious, she should not be able to bear any force. She should rest carefully."
As she spoke, Shen Jingyu stood up and walked out, supported by a maid.
The group's eyes fell on her, and Mrs. An Guo asked with concern: "Why did you come out?"
"Reporting to Madam Anguo, Jingyu originally signed up for the ice skating competition, but now something unexpected has happened, so she must explain the reason."
Hearing this, Princess Duan nodded and said, "That's right. So, Fuqiu, go and explain the situation to Miss Shen, and then apologize to the Queen Mother."
"If I remember correctly, Miss Shen won first place in the ice skating competition last year, and my mother just praised her highly..."
Seeing this, Shen Jingyu felt a little relieved.
That’s right, no excuse can be used to hide it in front of so many people, the only thing left is real hurt.
In this case, the two villains, Lou Yulan and Shen Jingzhen, will probably be disappointed.
After Shen Jingyu thanked everyone, she left with the help of her maid.
She didn't dare stay for long. There were many people here, and after a long time, someone would sense that the smell was coming from her.
Or rather, someone has already guessed it.
Thinking of this, Shen Jingyu dug her fingers tightly into her palm.
Is all that she has given really worth it?
But she has no way out. She has paid too much. If she cannot become the eighth prince's consort in the end, then she, Shen Jingyu, will be a huge joke.
Shen Jingyu collected her thoughts and walked to the sidelines with the help of her maid. Seeing that she still wanted to watch the game, the housekeeper Qiao Mo found a stool for her and placed it on the side front closer to the stadium.
Shen Jingyu thought about it and whispered something to the maid beside her.
The maid turned pale and seemed a little timid.
It was not until Shen Jingyu said something again that the maid nodded, turned around and left.
Seeing what was happening over there with Shen Jingyu, Yao Huiyan couldn't help but look at Shen Shuyi and said, "It looks like your elder sister is not going to play anymore."
