For a full seven days.
And today, her body truly began to co back to life.
"I want to get out of bed, help change and wash up," Ye Qichi said.
After she finished speaking, Lu You was shocked, "Princess, your body is so weak, how can you get out of bed? What if your wound reopens and bleeds after you get out of bed? I’m clumsy, what if I hurt your body again?"
After the Imperial Physician left, one night, due to a fever, she convulsed, causing the wound that had just been cleaned to burst and bleed again. It was Lu You who reapplied the dicine to stop the bleeding. In fact, she also wanted Gu Xingchuan to do it—treating patients does not discriminate between genders. However, Lu You cried as if her life depended on it, insisting that it couldn’t be done, noting if soone discovered it, the Princess would be subjected to a punishnt of being drowned in a pig cage, an utterly heart-wrenching thought.
Gu Xingchuan was also a person who adhered to etiquette. Although he was anxious about her injury, he would not lose his sense of propriety. Hence, he instructed Lu You from beyond the screen on how to clean the wound and stop the bleeding. Lu You wept while cleaning, and her hands trembled after she finished, probably enough to beco a shadow over her, ever fearful of such an incident happening again.
"Don’t worry, I’m feeling much better," Ye Qichi comforted, "I feel so energetic now, I think I could actually kill a bull."
"..." The Princess really never makes things easy.
Nevertheless, Lu You obediently fetched wash water and began to assist Ye Qichi in washing up.
While helping Ye Qichi wash up, Lu You couldn’t help but express her surprise, "Princess, the wounds on your face, they have almost healed completely."
She was almost scared to death when she first saw the wounds on the Princess’s face on day one.
The sight was so grueso that she thought the Princess’s beauty was ruined forever.
Considering that the Prince had never been fond of the Princess to begin with, if the Princess were to beco ugly, she feared that her future would be even more bleak.
But now, looking at how quickly the wounds were healing, the facial injuries had left almost no trace at all.
She couldn’t shake the feeling that in a few days, the Princess would regain her original beauty.
At this thought, Lu You also felt sowhat more at ease.
The idea that as long as her beauty remained, there might still be hope for the Princess to gain the Prince’s favor...
In this mont, she felt a vague unease.
Was it because she thought of the severe injuries the Prince had allowed the Princess to suffer, and yet did not wish for them to reconcile!
While helping Ye Qichi wash and dress, Lu You asked, "Princess, did the Prince return last night?"
It was only after Lu You ntioned it that Ye Qichi rembered Xiao Jinxing had co over last night.
It was true that she didn’t care, so she really had forgotten.
"Seems like it."
"In a daze, it felt like the Prince had co, and then I tried to struggle out of bed to greet him, but I just couldn’t get up, as if I were pinned down by a ghost," Lu You said with so frustration.
"Was it a male ghost?" Ye Qichi teased.
Lu You didn’t catch on at first, but when she finally understood the aning of the Princess’s words, her face flushed red, "Princess, you’re so naughty, I’m still a virgin."
"So you’re thinking about n."
"I am not," the servant denied.
"Lu You, do you want to get married?" Ye Qichi suddenly asked seriously.
Although Lu You was still young,
in ancient tis people started getting married at 15, and at Lu You’s age, it was natural to have such thoughts.
"I don’t, I’ll just stay by the Princess’s side and serve you," Lu You promptly responded, "In life, I am the Princess’s person; in death, I’ll be the Princess’s ghost."
Ye Qichi couldn’t help but laugh.
Such cheesy words, yet Lu You said them so naturally, as if it was the most natural thing in the world.
But it had to be said,
she quite liked this little wench, Lu You.
"Princess, you always lead astray. I was just talking about the Prince coming back last night," Lu You complained a bit.
The Princess always effortlessly made her forget what she was talking about just a mont ago.
"What’s there to talk about."
"The Prince still cares about you, right?" Lu You asked tentatively.
If he didn’t care, he wouldn’t visit the Princess late at night instead of resting.
Ye Qichi laughed sarcastically, "Do you know the word ’incidentally’?"
"Incidentally?"
"Today the Crown Prince is to be buried, and Xiao Jinxing ca back to change clothes and bathe before going to the funeral. Since it was possibly only two hours, after his bathing and changing, he couldn’t go back to sleep. If he did, he would oversleep, so he ca to glance at incidentally to kill so ti. What else did you think?" After awakening, Ye Qichi felt her mind was more active too.
