Treating the Concubine, Eliminating the Wife: Reborn, I Refuse to Marry the Scumbag and Marry the Pr

Knock knock——

"Your Highness, the servant has come to fetch water."

Xie Tingzhou woke up as if from a dream and raised his voice: "Put it at the door and get a basin of warm water and a towel."

"yes."

The maid's footsteps faded away. Xie Tingzhou opened the door and picked up the kettle. Xi Feng and Chang Liu walked into the yard at that moment.

Xie Tingzhou glanced at the two of them, without saying a word, and closed the door behind his back.

Xi Feng and Chang Liu looked at each other, standing on one side at the door.

Changliu asked in a low voice: "What's going on?"

Xifeng said with a straight face, "I don't know."

Changliu thought for a while and said, "Isn't it because you regretted beating someone?"

The two looked at each other and both thought their analysis made sense.

"It's over," Chang Liu said, "You were the one who gave the whip, right?"

Xifeng's expression remained unchanged, "I won't do it myself."

"That was also your order."

"It's His Highness's order."

Changliu shook his head and said, "Why don't you understand? How can His Highness be at fault? The fault must be on us."

Xi Feng said nothing, as if he already approved.

"Then...kneel down?" Changliu asked.

Xifeng didn't answer, but his body was honest. He lifted his robe and knelt down straight.

Xie Tingzhou poured half a glass of water, blew it gently, and put it aside to dry.

The maid came to fetch water and was startled when she saw two people kneeling on the left and right of the door.

"Your Highness, the water is here."

Xie Tingzhou raised his hand and put down the bed curtain, "Come in."

The maid went in with the water, her head lowered, not daring to look more. She walked to the bed with the water, the curtain was hanging down, and she couldn't see anything inside.

Xie Tingzhou sat on the edge of the bed, "Did you call the doctor?"

"called."

"Well, let's go out."

The maid withdrew. Outside, Xifeng and Changliu saw her coming out alone, and looked at each other with shock in their eyes.

Changliu walked a few steps and knelt side by side with Xifeng. He turned his head and asked in a low voice: "Only Your Highness and Shigure are inside. Who do you think is serving whom?"

Xifeng glared at him, "Don't make random guesses."

"Aren't you curious?"

Xifeng looked forward, pursed his lips and thought, he was too curious to open the door and look in.

Inside the door, Xie Tingzhou twisted the veil and gently cleaned the area around her wound.

After cleaning the wound and applying medicine again, I originally wanted to apply gauze on her, but after hesitation I gave up and left it as is.

Xie Tingzhou helped her up and leaned on his shoulder, and fed her some more water. The doctor also came.

In the middle of winter, the doctor came running all the way and was sweating all over.

"She has whip wounds on her back, and the wounds have been treated," Xie Tingzhou said.

The doctor checked his pulse and then looked at his face, and said: "Your Highness, you must have been injured and not treated well. It snowed and caught a cold the day before yesterday. The two collided and it became serious. I prescribed some medicine and the fever subsided." Enough."

Xie Tingzhou nodded and looked down at Shigure.

His face was as big as a palm, and his arms were so thin that they could break if pinched.

With such a body, what kind of power allowed her to fight on the battlefield and get all the way to this point?

Xie Tingzhou couldn't deny that a strange feeling surged in his heart.

Shen Yu moved on the bed, she felt so uncomfortable.

In a daze, he saw Shen Zhongan's face again.

There were mountains of corpses in Yanliang Pass, and the war was raging. The dense arrows were on his back, and he was still fighting with a spear.

A Xijue man quietly approached him from behind.

"Watch your back!" Shen Yu shouted.

Shen Zhongan turned around and shouted at her: "Run! Run! Ayu, run!"

"Woo..." A whimper escaped Shen Yu's lips.

Xie Tingzhou lowered his head to check, only to see her clenching her teeth, frowning, and a tear secretly slipped out of the corner of her eye.

Xie Tingzhou wiped the corners of her eyes with his fingers and let out a long breath.

Chang Liu knelt at the door until his knees were numb. He rubbed his legs and murmured in a low voice, "If I had known that His Highness would stay for so long, I wouldn't have knelt with you. I was right."

As soon as he finished speaking, the door opened, and Changliu quickly knelt straight.

Xie Tingzhou closed the door and asked Xifeng coldly: "When you sent the dog over, you didn't find anything unusual?"

Xi Feng didn't dare to raise his head, and cold sweat suddenly broke out on his neck, "It was just dawn when I delivered it, and Shi Yu responded in the room. I thought he hadn't woken up, so I put the dog in the courtyard."

Xie Tingzhou took a deep breath and asked, "How long until Uncle Zhong arrives?"

Xi Feng replied: "We will set off from Beilin only after the new year. It is estimated that there will still be half a month."

Uncle Zhong is the steward of Beilin Palace. This time Xie Tingzhou comes to Beijing, he will definitely not be able to return in a few months like before.

Emperor Tongxu wanted to keep him as a hostage in the capital, and his return date was uncertain.

Now that Xie Tingzhou has been living in Shengjing, the original servants are naturally not enough. These days, every family is thinking of filling the palace with people, but people are still reliable. Uncle Zhong and his servants all come directly from the north.

Xie Tingzhou frowned, "Who is in charge of the internal affairs of the palace now?"

"He was the housekeeper who was originally staying behind, but he is usually only responsible for arranging cleaning and maintenance. After His Highness returns to the capital, his daily life will be arranged permanently."

"It's me, it's me." Changliu answered.

Xie Tingzhou asked: "There are people living in Lu Mingxuan, why didn't they arrange a maid?"

Changliu was stunned, and it took him a while to react, "But...but he is a guard. There is no reason to arrange maids for guards."

Xi Feng turned his elbow and almost fell over if he wasn't paying attention.

Xie Tingzhou lowered his eyes and glanced at the two of them before walking away.

Changliu didn't know why, "I was right."

Xifeng stood up and patted his pants, "His Highness is asking you not to know why, but to remind you what to do."

Changliu suddenly became enlightened and stood up, "I'll make arrangements right now!"

Just as he limped out of the yard, he almost collided with Xie Tingzhou who was returning.

Xie Tingzhou looked past him without looking sideways, walked to the room, opened the door and called out: "Dahuang."

Dahuang looked up at him and lay down again.

Xie Tingzhou walked over and bent down, saying, "Follow me, don't disturb her."

Dahuang seemed to understand what he said and followed Xie Tingzhou away.

A man and a dog walked into the courtyard, and a scream suddenly sounded in the air.

Bai Yu swooped in and passed by. The wind picked up Xie Tingzhou's hair, and Dahuang was so frightened that he huddled next to Xie Tingzhou's legs and remained motionless.

Bai Yu landed on the courtyard wall and stared at Da Huang.

Xie Tingzhou lowered his head and glanced at Dahuang, then looked at Bai Yu, and said softly: "Don't make any noise, you can't move this."

Xie Tingzhou had his own considerations.

Now that she was still ill, it would be useless to be so sad and happy that she could recover. Since Shiyu didn't know when the Xifeng brought the rhubarb, it would be better to wait for a while and wait until she got better before telling her the news of her father-in-law's death.
