Chapter 440 Mud can’t hold up the wall
Doctor Lin was so busy eating melon that he forgot there were wounded people in the room, and hurried forward with his little apprentice.
"Your Highness, please move to the round stool and sit down so that I can help you treat your wound." Doctor Lin respectfully made a gesture of invitation to Prince Dongli.
King Dongli nodded, and before sitting down, he glanced at Xie Qingrou.
What he was more worried about than the danger to his life was Xie Qingrou. He had originally planned to get along with Xie Qingrou slowly, and wait for Xie Qingrou to let go of her worries, and then express his feelings to Xie Qingrou, so that Xie Qingrou would be more willing to accept him. However, so many accidents happened, and he met Zhou Xiang, the second daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and Zhou Xiang saw through his thoughts.
But is his feeling towards Xie Qingrou so obvious?
It was obvious that even a little girl like Zhou Xiang could see it, so does that mean that others could also see through his thoughts?
Regardless of whether others can see through his thoughts, his thoughts were expressed so clearly by the little girl Zhou Xiang in front of Xie Qingrou. I wonder what Xie Qingrou would think.
Would she feel that he, a brother-in-law, could have such disgusting thoughts towards his widowed sister-in-law and keep her distance from him?
Or maybe you think his concern is a bit disgusting.
After all, they were just uncle and sister-in-law before, and they were married separately. It was impossible for him to suddenly have any false thoughts about her. Thinking back, what would happen if she realized that he had thoughts that he shouldn't have had before her brother died?
It was not until he felt the pain from Doctor Lin applying medicine to his wound that King Dongli gradually came back to his senses.
The pain made him gasp.
He looked worriedly in the direction of Xie Qingrou again, only to see that Xie Qingrou had an indifferent expression, without even a trace of superfluous emotion. He couldn't guess what she was thinking, or whether she felt disgusted by him.
When Xie Qingrou heard the sound of gasping for air, she couldn't help but look over with concern. The moment she looked over, her gaze collided with King Dongli's. They both looked away at the same time, with an undisguised evasive look in their eyes.
Gu Jianchu couldn't suppress an aunt's smile on his face, and he picked up a piece of dessert and stuffed it into his mouth.
When she first became pregnant, she had no appetite at all and would feel nauseous at the sight of any food. On the contrary, in recent days, her appetite has increased greatly and everything seems delicious, especially these glutinous pastries, which she cannot resist. However, the imperial physician would often remind her when taking her pulse that these things are difficult to digest and she should eat less on a daily basis.
Although I can remember it, I can't help but want to taste it when I see it.
After eating only one piece, Gu Jianchu stopped what he was doing.
[Ugh, nothing's happened yet, and these two are actually starting to care about each other. All they need to successfully be together is one person taking the initiative to break the window paper.]
[As long as the window paper is not broken, these two people will just keep it to themselves.]
It's easy to see that Xie Qingrou has a fondness for her uncle. Back in Dongli Country, he was gentle and courteous, treating everyone with respect. He was even very generous to the maids and eunuchs who served him, and he treated the refugees with even more care. Compared to her husband, who, despite being in high esteem, spent his days pursuing women and indulging in various affairs, neglecting the political affairs of the court, how could he not be disappointing?
[In this situation where there is no comparison, there is no harm. Anyone would have some affection for this brother-in-law. After all, her husband is really a hopeless case.]
Xie Ci'an couldn't help but look at the two of them.
Xie Ci'an was originally very opposed to this matter.
With the Queen constantly recommending them as a couple, I couldn't help but put an extra layer of filter on the two of them, as if there was nothing wrong with them being together.
As long as they can be happy, they can transcend the world.
After treating the wound, Doctor Lin simply tidied up his medicine box and bowed, saying, "The wound isn't very deep. I'll have my disciple change the dressing every two days. It should heal in a few days. However, the wound shouldn't come into contact with water. Your Highness needs to be careful when bathing and avoid spicy foods. After all, the wound is in the throat, and it would be bad if it gets infected."
"Thank you, Imperial Physician." King Dongli stood up and bowed to express his gratitude.
After dealing with these things, Xie Ci'an's gaze fell on the distraught Zhou Xiang again.
After struggling for a while, Zhou Xiang finally accepted his fate.
Xie Ci'an said, "Since Zhou Xiang is the second daughter of the Prime Minister of Dongli Kingdom, then let the King of Dongli deal with her."
"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty." King Dongli stood up again and bowed to express his gratitude.
Since Xie Ci'an did not take any action, it meant that he would not use this matter to interfere in the affairs of Dongli Kingdom.
If Xie Ci'an wanted to use this incident to forcibly interfere in the affairs of Dongli Kingdom, he would have no way to stop him. After all, this daring little maid was indeed from their Dongli Kingdom, and she was originally a dead person.
King Dongli immediately ordered someone to take Zhou Xiang away.
Before Zhou Xiang was taken away, she struggled again and glared at Gu Jianchu fiercely, "Queen, I have a question that I need you to help me answer."
Gu Jianchu raised his hand, and the servants immediately stopped and brought Zhou Xiang to Gu Jianchu.
Considering that Zhou Xiang knew martial arts, the servants held Zhou Xiang tightly, not daring to let their guard down at all, for fear that Zhou Xiang would struggle and hurt Gu Jianchu.
"How do you know my identity?" She thought she had hidden it well, and if Gu Jianchu hadn't seen through it, her identity would not have been exposed.
How could Gu Jianchu say that she knew it through the melon-eating system? That would make her seem very different.
Gu Jianchu casually played with the sachet hanging on Xie Ci'an's waist. "Of course it was you who exploded. Over a hundred people died in one night. Even if the King of Dongli was all-powerful, he couldn't have killed so many people in such a short time without causing any sensation. However, this time the Prime Minister rebelled, and over a hundred people in the entire family were killed directly. So this is the only thing I can think of."
"Also, in the palace, you were too eager to pursue Prince Dongli, and it was hard not to be seen. If you had restrained yourself a little, you wouldn't have been exposed so quickly. After all, Prince Dongli will stay in the capital for a while. You don't have to make a move on Xia Zhi. Instead, you can find a way to get among the palace maids assigned by the Ministry of Internal Affairs to serve Prince Dongli. You can spend day and night with them, and I'm afraid you will have more opportunities."
"Although you are smart and capable, sometimes your cleverness backfires."
"Your master has already paved the way for you. You can live well and carry on with the only bloodline of the Prime Minister's Mansion. But you rush here to die. You are really hopeless. Take you away." Gu Jianchu waved his hand, and two young guards quickly led the man out of the side hall.
