The Pretty Wife of General Jinxiu Huanian

Chapter 126 Slight Improvement

In the past few days, Yunxi has not left the prince's bed. Her eyes are full of bloodshot, and she looks extremely haggard, her body is shaky, and she looks extremely tired.

"Madam, please take a rest. Let me take care of the prince." The maid Chuntao hurried in with medicine in her hand. Her face was full of distress and her brows were tightly furrowed. "If you continue like this, your body will definitely collapse."

Yunxi shook her head vigorously without even turning her head. "I'm not tired. As long as the prince can get better, I'll do anything for him."

After saying this, her eyes were still fixed on the prince on the bed, not daring to relax for a moment.

At this moment, the prince on the bed suddenly snorted. Yunxi suddenly perked up, her face full of surprise. She leaned forward, her voice trembling, "Prince, Prince, are you awake?"

The prince slowly opened his eyes, his eyes hazy, and it took him a long time to see the person in front of him clearly, "Yunxi..."

Yunxi's tears flowed out in an instant, and she clutched the prince's arm tightly with both hands, "Prince, you finally woke up. I was so worried."

He kept wiping away tears while speaking, and he looked really excited and embarrassed.

The prince's voice was weak, "How long have I been sleeping?"

"It's been several days, Your Highness." Yunxi said as she gently wiped the sweat from the prince's forehead with a handkerchief.

The handkerchief was soaked, but she didn't bother to change it. She stared at the prince with a frown on her face, full of worry.

Chun Tao said happily, "Madam, it's great that the prince has woken up. I'll go tell the kitchen to prepare some food for the prince."

With that, the little girl ran out, her steps as light as a deer.

Yunxi nodded and said, "Go quickly." But her eyes never left the prince.

The prince wanted to get up, but he had no strength. Yunxi quickly supported him, "Prince, please don't move. Lie down first."

Yunxi's grip was quite strong, tightly holding onto the prince's shoulders, fearing that he would move again.

The prince smiled helplessly, "My body is really disappointing."

There was a hint of bitterness in that smile, and his eyes were a little dim.

Yunxi scolded, "What are you talking about, Your Majesty? It's a blessing that you woke up."

As she spoke, her eyes turned red again and tears welled up in them.

Soon, Chuntao came in with a bowl of porridge, "Madam, the porridge is ready."

The porridge was still steaming and beads of sweat were on Chuntao's face.

Yunxi took the porridge, scooped up a spoonful, blew on it gently, and brought it to the prince's mouth, "Prince, please have something to eat."

Her eyes were full of anticipation, hoping that the prince would eat one more bite.

The prince opened his mouth and swallowed it, "Thank you for your hard work, Yunxi." The prince's voice was still a little weak and powerless.

Yunxi shook her head. "As long as the prince can get better, I won't feel any pain at all."

She scooped up another spoonful of porridge and blew on it again and again, looking so serious, as if this was the most important thing in the world.

At this moment, Liu Fu, the housekeeper of the Marquis' Mansion, walked in, "Madam, the prince."

Liu Fu bent his waist with a smile on his face.

Yunxi asked, "Butler Liu, what's the matter?"

Liu Fu quickly replied, "Madam, I came to see the prince. You and Miss Chuntao have been busy these past few days, and I've also been taking care of the affairs of the mansion. I'm afraid there will be any omissions."

Yunxi said, "Butler Liu, you've worked so hard. The prince has just woken up, so we need to take good care of him."

Liu Fu nodded repeatedly: "That's right, ma'am, you've been troubled as well."

Yunxi glanced at Liu Fu and said, "Housekeeper Liu, the prince has just recovered from his illness, so there must not be any noise in the mansion."

Liu Fu patted his chest and assured: "Don't worry, Madam, I have made all the arrangements. The servants are all honest and will not dare to make any mistakes."

The prince slowly said, "Liu Fu, the mansion has been very successful these past few days thanks to you."

Liu Fu bowed hurriedly and said, "Your Majesty, this is what I should do. Your recovery is a blessing to the Marquis' Mansion."

Yunxi fed the prince another spoonful of porridge and said, "Prince, you should eat more so that you can get better quickly."

The prince smiled and replied, "Okay, I'll do as you say."

Liu Fu watched from the side and said, "The prince and his wife have such a good relationship, it's really enviable."

Yunxi rolled her eyes at Liu Fu and said, "You're just a sweet talker."

Liu Fu chuckled and said, "What this old servant said is all true."

Chun Tao walked in at this time and said, "Madam, I brought the prince's change of clothes."

Yunxi took the clothes and said to Liu Fu, "Butler Liu, you go down first."

Liu Fu responded and walked out.

Yunxi said to the prince, "Prince, after you have finished eating and changed into clean clothes, you will feel more comfortable."

The prince nodded: "I'll follow your arrangements."

Yunxi looked at the prince with tenderness in her eyes.

Liu Fu's face was full of smiles. "Congratulations to the prince on his recovery. The servants in the mansion are all very happy."

Yunxi frowned slightly, "Butler Liu, has anything unusual happened in the mansion these days?"

Liu Fu quickly said, "Don't worry, ma'am, everything is fine." As Liu Fu spoke, his eyes were wandering, not daring to look directly at Yunxi, and his hands were unconsciously rubbing the corners of his clothes.

Yunxi stared at Liu Fu for a while, his eyes sharp, as if he wanted to see through him, "That's good, you go down first."

Liu Furu was pardoned and responded quickly, bent his waist, and retreated hurriedly.

Yunxi always felt that Liu Fu's eyes were a little evasive, and a trace of doubt arose in her heart.

She bit her lip and paced back and forth in the room.

The prince saw Yunxi's thoughts and said, "Yunxi, don't think too much. Maybe you are too tired."

The prince stretched out his hand and wanted to hold Yunxi's hand.

Yunxi sighed, "I hope so." She gently patted the prince's hand away, "Prince, you should rest well. I will take care of these matters myself."

On this day, Yunxi stayed by the prince's side without leaving for a moment.

She wiped the sweat from the prince's forehead and tucked the corner of his quilt.

The prince coughed occasionally, and Yunxi became very nervous and hurriedly served tea and water.

Seeing that the prince's face gradually turned red, Yunxi finally felt more at ease.

She sat on the stool beside the bed and patted her aching waist.

At night, Yunxi helped the prince to sleep before returning to her room.

Not long after I lay down, I heard a noise coming from outside.

Yunxi stood up suddenly, "It's late at night, can't we just leave it alone?"

While muttering, she quickly opened the door and saw several maids arguing in the yard.

"What are you arguing about?" Yunxi asked loudly, her brows twisted into a knot, her hands on her waist.

One of the maids said, "Madam, we are arguing over who will keep watch for the prince."

Yunxi frowned, "What's there to argue about? Go back and rest. I'll go tonight."

The maids looked at each other, no one dared to disobey the lady's order, and they all dispersed.

Yunxi looked at their departing backs, snorted softly, and turned to walk towards the prince's room.

Her steps were hurried, and the corners of her clothes stirred a breeze. When she reached the door of the prince's room, she first calmed herself down and then gently pushed the door open.

The candlelight flickered in the room, and the prince lay quietly on the bed, breathing steadily.

Yunxi came to the prince's room and saw that the prince was sleeping soundly, so she sat down gently beside the bed.

Suddenly, I heard a slight noise outside the window.

Yunxi's heart tightened at that moment, her eyebrows instantly frowned, and her eyes were full of alertness.

She tiptoed to the window like a nimble cat.

When she reached the window, she took a deep breath and pushed it open.

The wind blew in from the window, making her hair a little messy.

But after staring wide-eyed, he saw nothing. Yunxi pursed her lips, frowned even tighter, and muttered softly, "This is weird. I clearly heard a sound."

Yunxi felt more and more uneasy, as if this marquis's mansion was hiding something.

The next morning, the prince woke up from his sleep, stretched himself, and said with a long sigh, "Yunxi, I feel a lot more relaxed."

There was some color on the prince's face, and his eyes were brighter than before.

Upon hearing this, Yunxi hurried to the prince's side, a relieved smile on her face, that smile was like a flower blooming in spring, "That's great, prince, you just need to rest well for a few more days, you will definitely recover."

As he spoke, he reached out and pulled the quilt up for the prince.

At this time, the Marquis's wife twisted her body and walked in. She was wearing a colorful dress today, and her hair was full of gold hairpins. As soon as she entered the door, she shouted loudly: "The prince has woken up, it's really the Bodhisattva's blessing."

The voice was so sharp and thin that it made Yunxi's ears itch.

Yunxi raised her eyes to look at the wife of the Marquis, only to see that her face was heavily powdered, and when she smiled, the powder fell down.

Yunxi always felt that her smile was a little fake, as fake as the clown on the stage.

The Marquis's wife said, "Yunxi, you've worked hard these days. Let me take care of the prince."

As she spoke, she stretched out her hand, which was adorned with several jewel rings, and was about to pull the prince's quilt.

Yunxi quickly pushed the Marquis's wife's hand away and said, "Madam, let me do it."

Yunxi stared at the wife of the Marquis, her eyes full of determination.

The wife of the Marquis's family had a dark expression, and the fat on her face trembled three times, "What?

You don't trust me?"

Just as Yunxi was about to speak, the prince said, "Let Madam take care of it. Yunxi, you should take a rest too."

The prince waved his hands, looking helpless.

Yunxi had no choice but to agree, "Okay, Your Highness." After saying that, she bit her lip and left the room, looking back every few steps.

After leaving the room, Yunxi did not return to her own courtyard, but looked around the marquis's mansion.

She walked hurriedly, looking here and there, not missing any corner.

When I walked into the garden, I saw two servants whispering in the corner.

Yunxi approached quietly, pressed her body against the wall, and stood with her ears erect.

I heard one of the servants say, "What should we do if the prince's illness doesn't get better?"

The boy kept rubbing his hands as he spoke.

Another servant quickly covered his mouth and said, "Don't talk nonsense, be careful not to be overheard."

Yunxi was shocked and covered her mouth with her hands unconsciously. Is there really someone who hopes that bad things will happen to the prince?

Thinking of this, Yunxi's face turned very ugly, and her eyes revealed a determination. She secretly swore in her heart that she must get to the bottom of this matter.

Yunxi decided to get to the bottom of the matter.
