First-rank palace maid Su Jixiang

Wei Ling looked at the empty bowl in front of him in a daze.

His appetite these days was surprisingly good. Normally, he could not eat such a big bowl of food. He even finished the fried food that he usually didn't eat much... You know, the food that Xu Tou fried before was burnt, old, and greasy, which made people lose their appetite just by looking at it.

"You eat so fast!" Xie Yingfeng looked up and saw that Wei Ling had finished eating! He quickly moved his bowl of rabbit meat to the side and said, "Don't eat mine. I got it with great difficulty."

"You're already eating your second bowl, how shameless!" Wei Ling glanced at him. "I didn't see you when I went out to hunt rabbits, but you ate more meat than others!"

"Every profession has its own specialty." Xie Yingfeng said with a smile, "I am just a scholar, how can I compare to your bravery!"

"Shut up!" Wei Ling said lightly.

"Okay, okay!" Xie Yingfeng quickly made a gesture to silence her and said with a smile, "What would Miss Su think if she knew that half of the rabbits here were hunted by you?"

"Why should she think too much?" Wei Ling glanced at Xie Yingfeng, "I just want to eat rabbit meat."

Xie Yingfeng curled his lips, chuckled, and continued to eat meat.

Xu Tou'er asked his men to go hunting. How many rabbits could the few firemen hunt in a day? The other Black Tiger Guards had the task of guarding and patrolling, and were not allowed to leave the military camp, so every night Wei Ling went out to hunt a few rabbits and brought them back. However, he did not make a fuss, but quietly placed the wild rabbits next to Xu Tou'er's stove.

Until now, Head Xu didn't know that there was a General Wei who was quietly hunting beside him... He just thought that it was a Black Tiger Guard who was doing good things quietly but was afraid of being accused of disobeying military orders so he didn't dare to make it public.

There was a lot of rabbit meat today, so the palace maids got some as well as a portion of sliced noodles.

Everyone enjoyed the food with gusto.

"Sister Jixiang, did you make this?" Hua Rui saw Su Jixiang coming back and hurried over with the meat, "You should eat some too."

"I'm full at the stove." Su Jixiang said with a smile, "You eat!"

"It's delicious! How did you make it so delicious?" Huarui's mouth was stuffed with rabbit meat, and there were traces of soy sauce at the corners of her mouth. She looked extremely adorable.

"You are so ignorant. The imperial meals from the imperial kitchen are much more delicious than this!" Zhao Xiuwan snorted and said in a soft voice.

"You're so annoying!" Qu Wanning said to her, "You'll die if you don't say something sarcastic, right?"

"Let her be." Su Jixiang didn't care about Zhao Xiuwan.

After she had a fight with Feicui, she was depressed for several days. Recently, her injuries have almost healed and the swelling on her face has gone down, so she came out to make her presence felt again.

Zhao Xiuwan now saw that Qu Yunfeng and Qu Chenxing were particularly good to Qu Wanning, and both of them had the surname Qu. Although she didn't know the names of Qu Wanning's father and brother before, she knew that Qu Wanning was promoted to one of the four concubines because of his father and brother's achievements. However, she didn't get any of the titles of virtue, virtue, kindness, and virtue, but was given the incongruous title of Mei Fei. So Zhao Xiuwan guessed that the generals who were said to have disappeared on the battlefield were these two.

The so-called general who is good at fighting is nothing but a pair of father and son who are afraid of death!

Qu Wanning was lucky. Why did she and her father both work for the new emperor, but her father and brother were far away and could not quench her thirst, while Qu Wanning's father and brother could take care of her. After she made trouble several times, Xie Yingfeng had already found someone to help her send the letter to her father and brother to Jiangxia. But the journey was too long and she didn't know how long she would have to wait for a reply.

"I'm not as lucky as you!" Zhao Xiuwan looked at Qu Wanning and said sourly, "I was exiled, but there are still people taking care of me!"

"Yeah, I can't be envious." Qu Wanning followed Zhao Xiuwan's words and said, which made Zhao Xiuwan so angry that she turned her head away and didn't want to look at Qu Wanning anymore.

"Ignore her," Su Jixiang said. "Have you checked the rabbit fur? Are there enough to make a vest for each person?"

"Hua Rui and I have measured it together, it's about right." Qu Wanning nodded. "There are two palace maids from the Shangyi Bureau who are willing to help, and I have called a few others who can make clothes. I think if we all work together, it won't be long before everyone can wear fur vests."

"That's good. It will save everyone from being frozen." Su Jixiang said with a smile, "I'll talk to Boss Xu later to see if I can get some more furs to make gloves and foot covers. Our hands and feet are really too cold."

Even Su Jixiang, who is so cold-resistant, can't stand the cold here. The main reason is that every time it's warm, even if they draw the curtains tightly at night, the cold wind from the wilderness blows into the room. They are often woken up by the cold in the middle of the night, and the water and other things placed against the curtains have already frozen.

Who can bear this.

Several people have developed frostbite on their hands and feet in the past few days. Su Jixiang's box of frostbite cream has been used up, but it still can't stop the speed of frostbite.

Su Jixiang looked at her hands, which were also frozen like radish heads. She rubbed the backs of her hands vigorously to prevent herself from getting frostbite.

As expected, what you fear will come true. The next day, Su Jixiang felt that something was wrong with his hand. There was a large red area. When he pressed the red area with his hand, the color changed and it became very itchy.

Su Jixiang knew that she had frostbite, but she didn't dare scratch it. The more she scratched, the more itchy it became. It would be terrible if she accidentally scratched her skin. Blisters were the mildest symptom, but in severe cases, the skin would ulcerate and ooze pus, which was very difficult to heal and would leave ugly scars after healing.

Su Jixiang didn't care whether it would leave scars, but he was afraid that it would rot and pus would ooze out. The medical conditions in ancient times were poor, and a deep infection would be fatal!

She could only say to Chen Hai, "Brother Chen, can you help me get some ginger slices from Xu Touer?"

"Okay. But do you want the ginger slices soaked in water?" Chen Hai asked.

"I have frostbite on my hands." Su Jixiang showed the red spot on the back of his hand to Chen Hai.

Chen Hai frowned, "I'll go right away, just wait."

"For you." Soon Chen Hai came over with Xu Tou'er.

When Xu Touer saw her hand, he felt so distressed, "Oh, my girl, isn't this what you made when you cooked for us yesterday?" He handed the ginger slices to Su Jixiang, "You need to apply ointment, I'll get you some later!"

"Yeah." Su Jixiang did not refuse. The itchiness of frostbite was really unbearable.

She carefully rubbed the frostbite areas with ginger slices. Although it is better to use ginger slices for prevention, this method may be useless now that the disease has occurred. However, the conditions are too bad now, so she can only try it as a last resort.
