BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1403 In Court
"Just do it," Ms. Zhao said resolutely.
The maid said nothing more.
It was still snowing outside, and the road wasn\'t easy to walk on. The coachman was already fast enough, and he could not go faster, but Xinlin Mansion was luckily not very close to Duke North Mansion.
The reason why Xiu Jie found this place was because it was very quiet there, and it was located in the center of the capital, a very rare location. Apart from the size, Xinlin Mansion was already better than many other mansions.
When they reached Xinlin Mansion, the maid knocked at the door and the person inside opened it.
It was Xiu Jie.
He did not recognize this person so he was startled. "Lady, who are you looking for?"
"Gu Chaoyan," Ms. Zhao said straightforwardly.
"Elder Miss is in the court and I\'m not sure when she will be able to return. If you need her, you will have to return in a couple of days. Is there anything important? I can pass on the message. I will tell Lord Huai so that he can pass on the message for you too," Xiu Jie said politely.
This lady did not look very friendly, but Xiu Jie was very sensitive and gentle. That was why he made such a suggestion.
In the court?
Not available until a few days later?
Ms. Zhao seemed to understand something, but not everything. Nevertheless, she understood that she was not in a position to get involved with something related to the court.
She thought for a while. "I will be back in a couple of days."
Xiu Jie greeted her and closed the gate.
***
Gu Chaoyan was in the court, lying in bed under the broad daylight. She had not continued with her medicine making.
Sword One covered her up with a blanket. "Not feeling cold, right?"
Gu Chaoyan blinked at her and said happily, "Sword One, I don\'t feel cold, but I need to pretend to feel cold. When someone from Qianqing Palace comes, just tell them that it is too cold here for me to continue with making the medicine, so I am taking a nap."
Sword One understood what she meant.
When her Miss told her that she was not feeling well, she felt very worried, so she brought her into the room which was totally done out of purpose.
Why on purpose?
Well, she knew that well.
Those from the imperial hospital must have done it on purpose too - they had no braziers and they were fed cold food.
Those imperial doctors did not dare to do this to her Elder Miss, so… the King must have ordered it.
No wonder De Fu kept reminding them about the danger.
Sword One suddenly realized what she should do.
She was about to fetch some hot things when she ran into De Fu, who asked anxiously, "Is your Elder Miss done with the medicine? The King\'s cream doesn\'t work that well, and if the medicine is done, I will pass it on to him."
