I rely on the system to support my eighteen brothers and sisters

Gu Changfeng didn't know whether he was feeling guilty or not, but he didn't dare to look at Qiao Linxi.

In fact, he felt bad during the three days when Qiao Linxi was in a coma, and he regretted forcing Qiao Linxi.

"The emperor is right."

Qiao Linxi also felt that he was impulsive.

It would be fine if I could die by suicide, but now I can’t. I got stabbed in vain and it hurts so much.

"Just let you know, just rest and recover."

The emperor looked at Madam Meng Er beside him and said, "Take good care of the princess."

"I will definitely take good care of the princess."

The emperor nodded and said, "Go and make arrangements. I will have dinner at the princess's residence tonight."

His words surprised Mrs. Meng. Was this an order directed to her or to Gu Changfeng?

"You are the princess's consort, and the master of the princess's mansion. How can you be so sloppy?"

"Your Majesty is right. I will go down and wash myself now."

Meng Qingyu blushed and left. The emperor also left, and Madam Meng went to prepare dinner.

For a moment, the room became quiet again, with only Qiao Linxi, a maid, guarding outside the door.

Qiao Linxi stared at the gauze curtain in a daze. She felt so confused and didn't know where to go in the future. She could never go back to that world.

"Princess, it's time to take your medicine."

Doctor Liao came in with a bowl of black medicine, and Qiao Linxi felt that it was very familiar. This scene was very similar to the classic scene of "Da Lang, drink the medicine."

Noticing Qiao Linxi's frown, Imperial Doctor Liao comforted her, "The princess' heart is injured. You must take good care of her, otherwise she will suffer from heartache in the future."

"Ah."

Qiao Linxi is not pretentious. If she wants to be healthy, of course she has to take medicine.

Doctor Liao just frowned as he watched Qiao Linxi swallow the medicine in one gulp, and couldn't help but admire him a little.

Look, this is a girl who grew up in the countryside, not at all pretentious. If it were a girl from Beijing, she would definitely act coquettishly and ask for some candied fruit or something.

"Thank you for your hard work these days."

After drinking the medicine, Qiao Linxi handed the bowl to the maid, then reached out to touch her bracelet, which was still there.

Then he took out a golden ingot and handed it to Doctor Liao: "I don't have much to offer, so please take this money and treat the gentlemen to tea on my behalf."

Qiao Linxi was the Princess Dingguo appointed by the Emperor himself, so she was seriously injured and there must be more than just Doctor Liao to treat her. Although Qiao Linxi didn't see anyone else, judging from Gu Changfeng's behavior, it was likely that all the best doctors in the Imperial Hospital had been sent, and he even threatened the lives of other people's families.

"Ah? This..."

Doctor Liao was stunned when he looked at the deposit ingot, not knowing how to react.

"Look at me, I have been working really hard for you these past few days. This little money is really not enough."

As he spoke, Qiao Linxi took out three or four more gold ingots and said sincerely, "I hope you won't despise me, sir."

dislike?

Who would reward the imperial physician with gold ingots? Even the nobles in the palace would reward him with gold melon seeds made of broken gold. The emperor would also reward large amounts of gold and silver. But that had to be for people who had made contributions.

Is this person who casually took out so many gold ingots really from the countryside?

"Princess, you are too polite. It is my duty to cure diseases and save lives." Doctor Liao declined.

"Take it. I shall be uneasy if you do not take it."

Qiao Linxi sighed: "Although I am a princess appointed by the emperor, I don't have much power. These yellow and white things are the only way to express my gratitude."

At this point, Doctor Liao no longer refused and took the gold ingots respectfully.

"Princess, don't be sad. Isn't it for these yellow and white things that people live their whole lives?"

No one can resist money.

Doctor Liao felt really happy holding the warm gold ingots.

Although he held the position of the head of the Imperial Medical Bureau, it did not mean that he was not short of money.

I guess the only thing that has no shortage of money is the wooden plaque in the ancestral hall.

"holly……"

After Qiao Linxi moved into the princess's mansion, Nanny Wang arranged for four personal maids to take care of her daily life. However, she didn't like having anyone serving her, so she sent them out of the door and only called them when there was something.

The four maids are Chunhe, Xiazhu, Qiugui and Dongqing.

Qiao Linxi preferred Dong Qing, probably because she was older, and she felt no guilt in ordering them around. The other three were only eleven or twelve years old, and Qiao Linxi couldn't afford to let such young children serve her.

"Princess……"

Holly came in through the curtain.

"Please help me with my makeup."

"The princess is seriously injured. Although you are fine now, you still need to take good care of yourself. Do not disturb the wound, otherwise your life will be in danger."

Doctor Liao had not yet left with the gold ingots when he heard Qiao Linxi say this and hurriedly stopped her.

"It's okay. I know my own body. Besides, the emperor is coming to the princess's house. I can't just lie in bed and not entertain him, right?"

How can this be justified?

Dong Qing also advised Qiao Linxi: "But didn't the emperor tell the princess to rest and recuperate? I'm sure that even if the princess doesn't show up, the emperor won't blame her for not knowing etiquette."

Qiao Linxi shook her head: "The Emperor said that, I can't really not go, can I?"

If Qiao Linxi really stayed in bed to recuperate as the emperor said, I'm afraid people would really criticize her.

Unable to persuade Qiao Linxi, Dong Qing had to help her wash and dress. Doctor Liao did not dare to leave either. Qiao Linxi wanted to get out of bed and move around, so he had to wait by her side. If something went wrong, wouldn't he lose his head?

Looking at himself in the mirror, Qiao Linxi sighed, what a sin.

Before, she was wearing a beauty filter, and her whole face was radiant. Now, her face is still there, but she looks much more haggard, pale, and has a sickly feeling.

It was impossible to die, and it was impossible to live well. This feeling made Qiao Linxi feel suffocated.

Although Mrs. Meng Er was not the mistress of the Meng family, she was the legitimate daughter of a wealthy family and was trained as the mistress of the house when she was at home.

Although she was not in charge of the Meng family after entering the family, she had a good foundation after all, and with the help of Nanny Wang from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, she was not panicked when the emperor stayed at the princess's mansion for dinner, and she arranged everything properly.

When Qiao Linxi appeared in the flower hall, dinner had already been served. Although it was not the imperial meal in the palace, there was nothing wrong with it.

The emperor looked at the dazzling array of food and raised his eyebrows to glance at Madam Meng II who was standing next to him.

"Your Majesty, please take a look at the dishes to see if they suit your taste. If there is anything you don't like, I will change it immediately."

Madam Meng was actually very nervous. After all, she had never entertained the emperor before. Even when the emperor came to the Meng family, there was always a banquet, and it was arranged by the first lady. She was afraid that she would not do something well and displease the emperor.

"Don't be nervous, Madam Meng. There is no emperor here now. There is only an old man who eats and drinks for free."

Perhaps noticing Madam Meng's nervousness, the Emperor tried to comfort her, but his words were of no use; instead, they made Madam Meng even more frightened.
