Jiang Yebin took a deep breath, "The head maid of Yikun Palace, Suo Xin, is from my hometown. She must be having a hard time under house arrest..."

Then he pleaded, "Brother Jiang, can you send her something for me?" He quickly explained, "It's definitely not something against the rules. Just sending some food will be fine. She must have lost weight these days."

Jiang Fu nodded, "Of course." He added, "As long as it's not late at night, it's always convenient."

The imperial physician could not enter the inner palace late at night unless summoned by the master, otherwise it would be a serious mistake punishable by death.

Jiang Fu could make appropriate concessions, but he must never allow the possibility of such "secret communication" to occur while he was on duty.

Jiang Yubin was concerned about Suo Xin, but he did not lose his mind. He still understood what Jiang Fu meant. He just smiled and said, "As long as I can send her some food, I will be satisfied."

After saying that, Jiang Yubin left in a hurry. After more than an hour, he hurried to the gate of Yiku Palace again, with some pickles wrapped in oil paper in his arms.

He took it out from his arms. The weather was hot, but he was in a hurry, so he wrapped it in two layers of cotton cloth and put it in his arms. Although it looked a bit weak, the food would not be heated by the sun.

"It's hot, these are some side dishes my mother made. Brother Jiang, please pass them to Suo Xin and say they were given by Jiang Yubin."

Jiang Yubin hurriedly handed the cloth bag to Jiang Fu, then rummaged in his pocket and took out a similar small package. "This is for you. Thank you, brother Jiang, for passing it on."

The two packages were compared and the difference was obvious. The one for Suo Xin was beautifully packaged, while the one for Jiang Fu was a little rougher.

Noticing the hint of ridicule on Jiang Fu's face, Jiang Yubin explained in a panic, "I came in a hurry, so I was a little confused."

Jiang Fu suppressed his laughter and nodded, indicating that he believed what he said. However, he returned the portion given to惢心 to him and asked Jiang Yubin to wait here for a while.

Jiang Fu said something to the brother who was on duty nearby, and the man went away and waited at the corner.

No one came near Yiku Palace, so the man thought, just leave. Besides, Jiang Fu would take care of it if anything happened, so he was not worried.

It was common for someone to bribe the guards to send gifts to the confined concubines, but this was the first time that no one sent anything.

Finally one came today, it's really a rare thing.

Jiang Fu knocked on the door, and soon the door of Yikun Palace opened a crack. It was almost time to deliver the meal, and Suo Xin was waiting nearby.

She thought it was today's meal, so she looked outside through the crack and asked quietly, "Brother Guard, why are you so early today?"

With just one glance, he saw Jiang Yubin standing not far outside the door.

Suo Xin was surprised, and suddenly her eyes felt a little sore. She opened the palace door a little more and smiled slightly, "Why are you here?"

Jiang Yebin hurriedly came closer and handed her the package in his hand. "I'm worried about you. The weather is hot and it's easy for people to lose their appetite. My mother made some pickles and asked me to bring some to you."

He scratched behind his ear and smiled awkwardly, "It's not a rare thing, but the Yikun Palace is still under house arrest, and I'm always worried that you won't eat well."

惢心 was delighted and hugged the package tightly, "Thank you for your hard work, auntie. Thank you for your hard work too." In her mind, she was thinking that Jiang Yubin actually mentioned her to his mother, and she suddenly felt a little flustered.

The two talked for a while, and Jiang Yubin urged her to go back and rest as it was very hot under the sun.

It was also because it was almost time to deliver the meal, so Jiang Yubin had to leave no matter how reluctant he was. Before he left, he said, "See you tomorrow."

Suoxin held the package in one hand and touched the vermilion gate of Yikun Palace with the other, her thoughts in a mess.

What would he and his aunt talk about?

He looked at his injured arm again, which was now completely healed without even a trace left.

She told Jiang Yubin that it was fine, but he still didn't believe her and insisted on seeing it with his own eyes. 惢心 could only let him see it.

Seeing her smooth, white arms, Jiang Yubin blushed and quickly pulled down her rolled-up sleeves, saying, "It's healed, it's healed."

She reached out and touched the side dish inside, which was still cool. Suo Xin carefully wrapped it up again and planned to put it in a cool place in her room.

After carefully putting it away, when it was time to receive the meal, Jiang Fu knocked on the door of Yikun Palace again. Suo Xin took the meal from Concubine Xian and whispered, "Thank you, brother guard."

She was grateful to Jiang Fuken for allowing her to meet Jiang Yubin.

When she was on the ship before, she often received gifts from him, but she hadn't seen him these days. She missed him all the time, so it was nice to meet him and talk to him today.

Jiang Fu shook his head, thought for a while, sighed, and took out a small package from his arms, "Jiang Yubin is my friend, it's okay to help a friend."

Then he secretly stuffed the small package to Suo Xin, "Doctor Jiang gave me a lot of bacon as a snack recently. This is also a way of returning the property to its original owner. You can take it."

Jiang Fu saw Jiang Yubin's reluctant look and knew what he meant. Although Doctor Jiang tried to get close to him, he also really benefited him, so Jiang Fu wanted to treat him sincerely.

Therefore, it is okay for Jiang Yubi to take care of the girl he likes within his ability.

Besides, he saw that惢心's cheeks were a little sunken, which must be because she ate poorly and had no appetite. So he gave her something easy to store as a token of his appreciation for his friend.

惢心 thanked him quietly and hurriedly delivered the meal to Concubine Xian. She had intended to put away the food given by Jiang Fu after delivering the meal.

But unexpectedly, as soon as she entered the room, Ruyi took a deep breath and asked curiously, "Why does today's food smell different from before?"

惢心 took out a small oil-paper bag from her bosom and replied, "This was sent by Guard Jiang at the door." She did not say that Jiang Yubin came to talk to her.

Although she should be completely loyal to her master,惢心 still has some selfish thoughts and is unwilling to tell Ruyi about her and Jiang Yubin's affairs.

Otherwise, what would that look like?

惢心 was looking forward to the time when she could leave the palace. If she did, she also hoped that she and Jiang Yubin would have a good ending.

But the master cannot be without someone by his side, and cannot do without her to serve him.惢心 would never leave the palace without Ruyi.

But there is still some tiny thought in my heart that can't be shaken off.

Ruyi had a pleased smile on her face, stretched out her hand, and pointed at惢心 with her long armor. Princess Jingse didn't leave anything for Ruyi, only some gifts from the emperor and some ornaments.

Only the armor was completely retained, because the palace servants really did not need it, so they did not take it away.

Ruyi felt a little comforted because she could change the style of her armor every day and still maintain her dignity as a royal concubine.

Even if she is under house arrest, she wants to live a decent life.
