The reborn girl always wants to escape, but the abstinent marquis hugs her and coaxes her!

Chapter 254: Aunt Xiao is worried

The guard's eagerness was sincere.

He was quite skilled in martial arts, but because of his poor birth, he could not join the Imperial Guards. He was treated like a mere attendant, forbidden from entering or leaving the palace. He could only serve as a guard outside the Imperial Guards when the nobles left the palace. His salary was not much, and he could not even think about receiving rewards.

But if they really encounter any risks, they will be the first to rush forward and protect with their lives!

Although he has good martial arts skills, he is like an ant and no one would even look at him straight in the eye.

Princess Lingxi was the first time that he felt the difference of a noble person.

Princess Lingxi, who came from the Northern Frontier, rose to fame with a single dance at a family feast on New Year's Eve. Her stunning beauty was undeniable, and even her title was bestowed upon her by His Majesty at her birth. For someone of such noble birth to treat a lowly guard like him so kindly was truly captivating.

What's more, she was a visitor from the northern border, and the rules of the palace naturally could not restrain her. Whether she was out for the Flower Festival a few days ago or leaving the palace today, she did not summon the imperial guards to accompany her, which gave a small figure like him the opportunity to get close to her.

On the day of the Flower Festival, he received a reward of five taels of silver, which was several months' salary for him!

And today, the princess actually poured tea and water for him personally... This is a blessing he has accumulated over several lifetimes.

At this moment, let alone helping her, taking a maid away from Prince An's Mansion, even if it meant taking his life immediately, he would be happy to do it!

"In that case, thank you for your hard work." Princess Lingxi said sweetly, and the door opened.

The guard knelt on one knee and said, "I'll do it right away!"

As soon as I lowered my head, I saw a lavender silk handkerchief lying on the ground. Is this... the princess's handkerchief?

He quickly picked it up while no one was paying attention, hurriedly hid it in his sleeve, and then took his leave.

As soon as he went out, he couldn't wait to take out the silk handkerchief, put it under his nose and took a few deep breaths.

The exotic fragrance made his heart blossom...

He clenched his fist secretly and dodged away.

The door of the private room was closed again, and the maid who had been serving Princess Lingxi looked depressed.

Lingxi glanced at her and said lazily, "What's wrong? Isn't it just a handkerchief?"

The silk handkerchief the guard picked up before leaving wasn't Lingxi's usual item, but rather... something belonging to her maid. Although the people of Northern Frontier were known for their uninhibited personalities, a woman's personal belongings, like those of the Great Zhou, were not to be given away lightly.

But Lingxi had set up this trap specifically to control the guards. Although the maid was unhappy, she did not dare to disobey her master. She lowered her head and said in a muffled voice, "I dare not."

"Look at you..." Lingxi County Princess sneered, "We've seen a lot of people like that. If I don't give him some sweet treats, how can he be so willing to do things for me?"

"Prince An Wu Tianao is now a useless man. Hermei is the most useful person to me. It would be a waste to leave him with him. If we wait until Prince An moves out of the capital, it will be difficult for us to take action."

"Don't feel bad about using your handkerchief today. I have a box of gifts from the Queen and His Majesty in the palace. You can pick any one you want when the time comes. They will definitely be a hundred times or a thousand times better than your old handkerchief!"

The maid quickly lowered her head and said, "I dare not. Being able to be used by the princess is... my blessing."

Lingxi laughed when he heard this and said, "Lucky? You've only been in Da Zhou for two months, how come you've already learned so much? Well, just throw away the cup he touched."

"Yes," the maid replied, then added, "There's still some tea left in the teapot. I'll take it away." Princess Lingxi nodded, "Go ahead and clean it up... so as not to accidentally hurt the other guests of Fanlou."

The poison in the northern border... not everyone is lucky enough to endure it.

Regardless of whether the guard can complete this mission, he will not see tomorrow's sunrise.

……

On this side, after Xu Rongrong returned to Zhuxiang Yayuan, she took a bath and changed clothes according to Shu Qing's instructions.

Luo Shu brought the internal medicine soup over, and she drank it all in one gulp. Then she instructed: "You and Wen Yao should also not forget the medicinal bath and internal medicine."

"I understand." Luo Shu replied.

Xu Rongrong yawned lightly, and she felt tired all over.

She barely touched the dinner Wen Yao brought her. She only drank two mouthfuls of the green stem porridge before she felt too sleepy to open her eyes and went back to her room to sleep. Nanny Xiao, who had been waiting outside the courtyard, saw Wen Yao come out with the barely touched meal and asked in confusion, "But the county lady doesn't like it?"

Wen shook his head. "The young lady just said she was sleepy. It was only after I persuaded her that she ate two bites. Now she's already fallen asleep."

"Are you asleep already?" Nanny Xiao was surprised when she heard that.

She had just heard Luo Shu mention that the county lady had spent a long time with Luo Xiao, who was suffering from tuberculosis... and now she was so listless...

Is it infected?!

The more Nanny Xiao thought about it, the more frightened she became. She immediately ran to the next door to ask for the doctor from the palace.

The poor palace doctor had been running around for half a day and had just finished bathing. Without even washing his hair, he trotted all the way to Zhuxiang Yayuan, carrying his medicine box.

Xu Rongrong was half lying on the bed with a confused look on her face, allowing him to examine her thoroughly.

After a cup of tea, the palace physician heaved a sigh of relief, his expression slightly relieved. "Well, the county lady is just tired today, nothing serious will happen. Just get more rest and avoid eating raw or cold foods for the next two days."

Upon hearing this, Wen Yao and Luo Shu looked at each other and felt relieved.

However, Nanny Xiao felt a little confused when she heard the palace doctor's analysis.

When they were on the way to escort the palace doctor back to the Lu residence, she asked again, "County Lady...what happened today?"

The palace doctor did not answer, but just smiled and said: "Prepare more clothes for the county lady these days."

Nanny Xiao was stunned at first, and then she was overjoyed: "County Lady, your period is coming!"

For women, this is a good thing.

As her wedding date with the Marquis was approaching, she was also preparing for the county lady's wedding. Everything else was easy to deal with, as they were just some personal belongings, so she just had to make it grand.

But since the Southern Suburbs, she had been serving the county lady in the mansion on and off for a month or two, but she had never seen the county lady change her clothes. If she still couldn't have her period, then on her wedding night, she would have to share the same bed with the Marquis...

If they performed the ceremony of husband and wife, she was afraid that the county lady would be hurt; if she dissuaded the county lady from performing the ceremony of husband and wife with the marquis, she was afraid that it would hurt the relationship between them.

In the past few days, Nanny Xiao has been worried about this matter.

After all, menstruation is not something that others can rush. Many girls don’t have their first period until they are 17 or 18 years old.

Besides, the county lady had been mistreated in the Xu residence, causing malnutrition for a legitimate daughter! Based on the situation at the time, I'm afraid her health would be even worse than that of other young girls.

But she didn't expect that she would have her period now. How could she not be overjoyed?

While chanting "Amitabha", she called out to Jixiang and Ruyi to prepare some toiletries.
