Chapter 211 Concubine's Self-cultivation 2
"Aunt Nan, go back and change the young master into dry clothes, so he won't catch a cold." An elderly maid said with concern.
Nan Xi nodded. Now is not the time to pursue responsibility. Her son's health is the most important.
"Aunt, Xuan'er is scared." Zhao Moxuan held Nan Xi's hand tightly and refused to let go.
Nan Xi felt a pain in her heart, and she comforted him softly, "Don't be afraid, Xuan'er, I'm here. I will protect you and won't let you get hurt again."
Nan Xi picked up Zhao Moxuan and walked towards her own yard. "You two should get up. We'll talk in detail when we get back."
Yun Chu and Yun Jin quickly got up and followed behind.
Nan Xi personally changed Zhao Moxuan into dry clothes, fed him some hot soup, and slowly mobilized the spiritual power in her body, allowing it to penetrate into Zhao Moxuan's body warmly and gently.
The spiritual power was like a warm spring breeze, slowly dispelling the coldness in Zhao Moxuan's body and warming his body from the inside out.
Nan Xi could feel the child's breathing gradually becoming steady, and the paleness on his face was gradually replaced by a healthy redness.
After some recuperation, Zhao Moxuan's physical condition improved significantly. His eyes slowly closed and he fell into a peaceful sleep.
Nan Xi gently tucked the quilt in for him, then told the little maid to watch over him before walking out of the room and interrogating the two older maids.
"Tell me, what's going on?"
As far as I can remember, these two maids served wholeheartedly, worked diligently on weekdays, and took good care of Zhao Moxuan.
What happened today was obviously not accidental.
Yun Chu wiped the tears from her face, her voice trembling, "Aunt, Yun Jin and I took the young master to the garden. The young master wanted to feed the fish, so I went back to get the fish food."
Yun Jin continued, "After Yun Chu left, I accompanied the young master to watch the fish, and Cui Zhu came. She asked me to draw a pattern for her and let the little girl play with the young master for a while.
I didn't want to. Cuizhu pointed at a figure and said Yunchu was back. I saw Yunchu was back and followed her. "
Nan Xi frowned and looked at Yun Chu, "Are you accompanying the young master?"
Yun Chu shook her head. "I came back to get fish food. I met Bi He on the way. She said she lost a bracelet and asked me to help find it. I refused, so she said I took it. She kept pulling and tugging at me for a long time before letting me go."
Nan Xi looked at Yun Jin, "You said you saw Yun Chu coming back?"
Yun Jin cried, "I only saw Yun Chu's clothes from a distance, but didn't see it clearly..."
Nan Xi has already understood that this is a carefully planned conspiracy.
"Aunt, it is our fault that we did not take good care of the young master. Please punish us, Aunt."
Yun Chu and Yun Jin kept kowtowing. Although the young master was fine now, they would definitely be punished for such a big mistake made today.
"Have you seen anyone else near the garden?" Nan Xi continued to ask.
Yun Chu and Yun Jin shook their heads, indicating that they did not notice anyone else.
"Okay, I'll fine you three months' salary. Are you convinced?"
The two of them kowtowed to express their gratitude. This was already the lightest punishment. "Thank you for your understanding, Auntie. We are convinced."
"Get up and take good care of the young master from now on."
"Yes, aunt."
The two stood up and looked at each other. Shouldn't they call Cuizhu, Bihe and the little girl over for a confrontation?
Nan Xi shook her head. The little girl was definitely not going to survive. As for Cuizhu and Bihe, they were both first-class maids serving the princess. It would be useless to call them over.
Sure enough, there was a commotion outside, saying that a little girl had died in the pond.
Two accidents happened in the pond within one day, and this incident was widely discussed by everyone, who said that the pond was too weird.
Nan Xi sat on the chair, stroking her belly. In this palace with strict hierarchy, the lives of servants were worthless. Once they were involved in power struggles, they would often become victims.
There is no need to investigate the real murderer, just think of no one else except the princess.
The court physician came hurriedly, followed by a medicine boy carrying a medicine box. His old face was full of seriousness and he walked hurriedly.
As soon as he entered the room, he began to carefully check Zhao Moxuan's condition.
"Aunt Nan, the young master is fine now. He just needs to rest well and take the medicine I prescribed on time, and he will recover soon." After the examination, the court doctor assured Nan Xi who was waiting anxiously.
Nan Xi thanked the court physician, asked Yun Chu to give him a purse as a reward, and then personally escorted the court physician out.
She stood at the door, watching the figures of the court physician and the medicine boy gradually go away, and asked Yun Chu to follow them to get the medicine.
The old lady soon got the news and sent someone over. It was the old lady's personal nanny, Nanny Li, who brought many fine medicinal herbs and tonics.
"When the old lady heard that the young master fell into the water, she was very worried. She specially ordered this old servant to bring these supplements to the young master. I hope the young master will recover soon."
Nanny Li said with concern that although Zhao Moxuan was a bastard's son, he was the eldest and the only child in the palace, so the old lady still had some sincerity towards him.
"Thank you for your concern, old lady. The young master is fine now. The palace doctor has just come and he is fine. He will be fully recovered after taking medicine for a few days."
Nanny Li repeatedly said "Amitabha", "Thanks to the Bodhisattva's blessing, the young master is fine."
After sending Nanny Li out of the room, Zi Yan, the maid sent by the princess, also came. She brought some gift boxes and had a formal smile on her face.
"The princess heard that the young master was frightened, so she sent these supplements, hoping that the young master can recover soon."
Zi Yan said as she placed the gift box on the table and left, not even bothering to pack it up.
Nan Xi opened the gift box, and inside were just some common medicinal herbs such as red dates and cinnamon.
However, it is also a very good nourishing product coming from the princess's storehouse.
She told Yunjin to put away the supplements, saying that these things were nothing and the princess would have to pay the price.
Zhao Moxuan slept for the entire afternoon and woke up just before dinner. Although there was nothing wrong with his body, he was frightened and was not in a good mood.
Dinner was ready, and Nan Xi was about to eat when Zhao Jinyu arrived.
Zhao Jinyu is twenty-five years old this year. He has a handsome face, deep features, and under his sword-like eyebrows are a pair of deep and penetrating eyes that seem to be able to see into people's hearts.
He was dressed in a dark brocade robe, with an upright figure and a majestic bearing. He had a jade belt tied around his waist, and an exquisite jade pendant hung on the belt.
There is an aura of majesty in his steps.
As soon as he entered the room, his eyes first fell on Zhao Moxuan. Seeing that his son was in low spirits but was fine, a hint of relief flashed in his eyes.
"How is Xuan'er? Is he feeling better?" Zhao Jinyu's voice was gentle and low, revealing a hint of subtle concern.
Zhao Moxuan was sitting on a chair waiting for dinner. He looked up, saw Zhao Jinyu, and started smiling.
Nan Xi bowed to Zhao Jinyu, stood aside, and answered with lowered head.
"He's fine now. He'll be fine after taking a few doses of herbal medicine. He's just a little frightened and needs to be comforted."
Zhao Jinyu nodded and sat down.
"Since the maids who serve us are so careless, we might as well replace them all. I'll have someone pick out a few good ones tomorrow."
Yun Chu and Yun Jin were so frightened that they immediately knelt down, lying on the ground, not daring to say a word.
