The husband who forced her to marry her couldn't keep her warm, and she didn't want him to

Hearing the call from Master Wu, Tianqing pushed open the door, and behind him came Baizhi and Baishao carrying food boxes.

Behind them were Jiang Fei and He You, who walked in and stood by the door with their heads down.

At this time, the night was as dark as ink, the wind was howling, and there were dense sentries outside Zhuli Pavilion, with strict vigilance.

The house was brightly lit with flickering candlelight.

Although there is no floor heating like in Yuanyuan Hall, the burning brazier between the couches still makes people feel the hot air as soon as they enter the door.

He You bowed and said, "Fifth Master, the Duke and Second Master knew that you had woken up, so they went back with the Madam."

After he finished speaking, he looked hesitant, as if he was having a hard time speaking. Under the dim candlelight, He You looked a little conflicted.

Noticing the Fifth Master's gaze, he continued, "The Madam ordered... that there is no ground heating in Zhuli Pavilion, and the weather is cold... Madam is pregnant, so she asked the subordinates to light the charcoal fire and not let the masters catch a cold."

After saying this, he looked at the two maids who were setting the table not far away. His handsome face turned completely red, and the red color was particularly eye-catching compared to his handsome face.

If Gu Jinchu fails to discover this He You, and Mr. He takes a fancy to her personal maid, she will be too slow to react.

Thinking in this way, the embarrassment that Mrs. Jiang was worried about after hearing about it dissipated a lot.

"Bai Shao, is the burn on your hand serious?" Gu Jinchu asked softly while looking at the bandage on Bai Shao's hand.

Upon hearing this, Fifth Master Jiang also looked up. This maid who had stayed with Jin Chu until her death, with whom she had a childhood friendship, was the most loyal of all.

Bai Shao put the dishes on the table and replied with a smile, "Madam, my hand is fine. Fortunately, the weather is cold, so the temperature of the soup is not that high. Bai Zhi checked it and said that it will heal after applying the medicine for a few days."

Gu Jinchu knew her personality and she would only report good news and not bad news. "I have scar removal cream. Scars on girls are always unsightly."

Bai Shao bowed first, her eyes bright, and she smiled and replied, "Mother Xu is just as nervous about me as Madam, but it doesn't really affect anything."

As she spoke, she glanced at Jiang Fei who was standing there in a daze, with dissatisfaction on her face and a hint of complaint in her eyes: "That bowl of yam and pork ribs soup is a waste..."

She felt more sorry for the bowl of soup than the injury on her hand.

She was afraid that the lady would be hungry while waiting for the fifth master, so she put three or four ribs in the soup bowl and shaved off the bones.

The master didn't get to drink a single sip, he fed it all to the God of Land!

Jiang Fei bowed and said, "It was my fault for being rude and rude. I ruined Madam's dinner and injured Miss Bai Shao."

I was so nervous that I had already thought about how to give the scar removal cream to Miss Baishao.

He planned to ask Mother Cheng to deliver it on his behalf, so that no one would misunderstand whether Miss Bai had any relationship with him, a widower.

When Bai Shao heard Jiang Fei's words, the corners of her mouth dropped slightly, and she gave him a blunt look without any disguising.

This person is quite confident!

Gu Jinchu glanced at Bai Shao and Jiang Fei. She knew her maid and knew that Bai Shao was really beginning to dislike Jiang Fei.

Guard Jiang usually has a dark face and no expression on it, and nothing can be seen at the moment.

The injury location of Master Wu was below the right clavicle, which must have affected his meals.

After Gu Jinchu finished his dinner, he served Master Jiang Wu his meal.

All the soups cooked by Jin are blood-replenishing. I don’t know if it’s a psychological effect, but after dinner, Mr. Jiang Wu’s complexion looked better than before.

After the food on the small table was put away, Master Jiang Wu raised his hand and told the servants to bring pen and ink.

Soon, he handed the letter to He You and whispered, "Send someone to keep an eye on the addresses I wrote on it."

He You agreed, bowed and walked out.

He was injured to lower the emperor's vigilance and to show the Jiang family's loyalty to the royal family.

It does not mean that this assassination attempt was not aimed at the royal family, or that someone wanted the third prince to die.

It was already the next day when Concubine Shu learned that her fifth brother was injured.

At this time, the sunlight came in through the windows, adding a warm color to the entire palace.

Concubine Shu sat on the Luohan bed and watched the palace servants trim her nails until they were neatly trimmed and polished into the most perfect curve.

She had not yet entered the palace when Huipin was in favor.

The reason she was able to enter the palace was that after Huipin was banished to the cold palace, the emperor accepted the advice of his ministers from the previous dynasty and once again selected concubines.

Yesterday, her own brother was seriously injured because of Huipin's son.

Since there is such a causal relationship, Huipin's son has returned to the palace, and the cause of her death should also be known to his son.

"Zhuo Liangcai."

Concubine Shu called the chief eunuch next to her and ordered him: "Go spread the news that Tang Liu had been to the cold palace... Let Huang Tong advise His Majesty to hand him over to the Jinyiwei, and he will definitely confess the incident of pushing Yongle into the water!"

"Yes, ma'am."

Zhuo Liangcai nodded in agreement, then bowed and walked out.

Concubine Shu slowly placed her hands into the white pomelo painted ceramic basin, feeling the warm and gentle water flow across her palms and fingertips.

Liu Yingqiu rolled up her sleeves and knelt at her master's feet. After helping her wash her hands, she carefully applied a layer of delicate ointment on her.

Concubine Shu's hands were as slender and white as jade, and every part of them exuded an exquisite luster.

Thanks to her years of attention to hand care, her hands have become more and more delicate.

Back then, she entered the palace as a concubine. In addition to her family background and outstanding talent, the thing the emperor praised her most was her hands.

Concubine Shu turned her head slightly and her gaze fell on her daughter beside her, her eyes full of love and tenderness.

She chuckled and said, "After you've passed your blooming years, most of your time is wasted on dressing up."

Princess Zhao Xuan sat in front of the table on the kang, with her elbows resting on it and her chin in her hands, looking cute and lovely:

"Mother, you are so young and beautiful. If you say we are sisters, people will believe it."

She said this not to flatter, although she was born to her mother, her appearance was not as good as her mother's.

Since learning that Concubine Shu was injured, Zhao Xuan stayed in Yikun Palace for several days to accompany her, but found that her mother did not seem to be depressed or lose her appetite because of this incident.

My mother goes to bed early and gets up early every day, bathes and takes care of her skin on time, eats regularly and has a good appetite.

"Why aren't you leaving yet? Didn't you just say that you were going to see your fifth uncle once the palace gates were open? Why aren't you in a hurry now?" Concubine Shu picked up the teacup beside her and took a sip.

Zhao Xuan sat upright on the Luohan bed and said with a smile, "I shouldn't be the one who is anxious... My daughter guessed that after the morning court session, the reward from the emperor would be sent to the Duke Dingguo's Mansion along with the imperial physician.

I just don’t know which brother visited my fifth uncle on behalf of my father…”
