Female Master: Why doesn’t my wife love me yet?

Yun Guijun shook his head, signaling Eunuch Mo to stop talking.

When he found out that she was pregnant with a stillbirth, he felt like the sky was falling. He wanted so much to have a child of his own who could keep him company and entertain him in this deep palace, and he would take good care of that child.

However, in the end he was unable to have a child of his own, but God took pity on him and let him see a baby girl abandoned on the roadside when he was leaving the palace.

She was abandoned by her family because she was sick and looked down upon. After Yun Guijun picked her up, he personally took her to see the imperial physician and asked countless doctors for help before she was cured.

She is just ignorant and has no bad nature.

Eunuch Mo stomped his feet in anger, and his face looked a little red with anger.

He went to get some medicine and asked Yun Guijun, "How about I apply some medicine to you? When I was changing clothes just now, I saw that your legs were all blistered."

He nodded, and after making sure that the doors and windows were closed and there was no one else around, he lifted up his trouser leg to reveal the burned area.

After the Third Princess drove Yun Guijun away, she lay on the bed, groaning and saying it hurt.

Lotus asked, "Where does the Third Princess hurt? How about I go and get the imperial physician?"

"This princess is in pain all over. It's all because of that Gu Qingyuan. Sooner or later, this princess will kill her to vent her anger. Ouch!"

Because she was so excited, she touched the wound again when she turned over, which made her frown in pain and scream.

Lotus remained silent. The last time His Majesty sent people to check the palace of their third princess, they found her nightgown and flint under the quilt.

Coupled with the jade pendant she lost in the Academy of Classics, almost everyone knew that she was the one who set the fire.

The third princess' eyes rolled and she suddenly had an idea.

"Go and ask Gu Qingyuan to come over and tell her that I've come to my senses and want to apologize to her in person."

Lotus was surprised, "Third Princess, have you really figured it out?"

"What else? Well, I'm in this state now and can't leave the palace. This is the only way to call her over."

"But the palace is full of His Majesty's people. If you do anything bad to Young Master Gu, His Majesty will definitely not forgive you."

"Why, you also think that the Queen Mother will side with an outsider, right?"

"I dare not, but His Majesty has ordered you to stay at home. Except for you, no one else in our palace is allowed to step out for three months."

After hearing this, the Third Princess's expression turned even uglier. "The Queen Mother has already tortured me and had my eldest sister shut down my shop. Now she's confining me to my room!"

Lotus advised, "Daughter-in-law, we can't leave here now. Why don't you take good care of your injuries?"

The third princess saw the teapot on the bedside table, picked it up and smashed it on Hehua's head.

Lotus's head was hit hard, and the teapot broke instantly. Lotus's head was bleeding, and she let out a scream of "Ah".

Before he could raise his hand to touch it, he saw blood dripping down his face.

"You must bring Gu Qingyuan to me, or I will kill you."

With tears in her eyes, Lotus turned away helplessly.

When she left, the other palace maids saw the wound on her head and exclaimed, "What happened to you?"

She sighed helplessly, did not answer, and went back to her room to bandage her wound.

……

Yu Shui did as Gu Qingyuan said and went to find some mugwort and sandalwood powder.

"Does this stuff really repel mosquitoes?"

He said this, feeling a little doubtful.

Wen Shubai looked at what he brought back and discussed with him how much mugwort and sandalwood powder should be added so that they could achieve the effect of repelling mosquitoes when burned as Gu Qingyuan said.

When they lit it, white smoke rose and Wen Shubai and Yu Shui coughed a few times due to choking.

Wen Shubai ordered, "Go get the brazier we use to light charcoal in winter and put it in there to burn."

Yushui brought the brazier and put the things back in.

For the purpose of the experiment, they came to a place with dense vegetation in the yard where a group of mosquitoes were flying around. However, when the smell of burning mugwort and sandalwood powder drifted over, the mosquitoes flew away.

It seems to be really effective.

In order to show his magnanimity as the eldest wife, Wen Shubai and the rain water were mixed together and then sent to the three people in other courtyards.

After receiving it, Ji Mingzhao hurriedly thanked Yu Shui, "Please tell your master thank you for me."

Yu Shui smiled and said, "You're welcome."

After delivering it to Zhuyuan, Yu Shui then went to Lanyuan to deliver it to Lu Rui.

With the help of crutches, Lu Rui has gradually been able to walk normally. His broken leg is now slowly healing after the doctor invited by Gu Qingyuan reconnected the bones.

However, he couldn't walk much every day. After taking a few more steps, his legs would start to ache again.

When Yu Shui saw him, she left her things and left without saying a word.

In his opinion, the young master only brought this slave back on a whim. He was of low status and would not have wanted to come here if the master had not ordered him to do so.

Lu Rui saw that it was something left by the rain beside Wen Shubai, so he walked over and picked it up.

It turned out to be some mugwort and sandalwood powder.

He remembered that when he was a child, his father and mother would light mugwort to smoke out mosquitoes, but could sandalwood powder also be used to smoke out mosquitoes?

Yu Shui finally arrived at Juyuan and politely handed the things to Shi Tou, a servant beside Qi Ziyao.

He then said, "This is a gift from our master. These things can repel mosquitoes, so he asked me to bring them here."

Shitou nodded and said dully, "Okay, I'll tell my master."

Shitou walked back into the house. Qi Ziyao glanced outside and asked curiously, "Who came in just now?"

"It was the rainwater beside Lord Wen that brought this."

He took the thing in his hand and showed it to Qi Ziyao.

"These? What are they for?"

"It's said to repel mosquitoes."

Qi Ziyao immediately smiled brightly, "That's great! I was worried about mosquitoes disturbing my sleep at night."

In the evening, Ji Mingzhao ordered the things brought by the rain, and sure enough, there were fewer mosquitoes.

Ever since he became pregnant, he has been feeling very uncomfortable. The hot weather and the mosquitoes sometimes make him fall asleep very late.

He lay on the bed, embroidering the pillow for a while, and suddenly felt a pain in his stomach.

He clenched the needle in his hand, enduring the discomfort and trying to finish embroidering the pillow so that he could send it to Gu Qingyuan.

But his stomach hurt more and more, causing his hand to tremble, and the pillow and the needle in his hand fell to the ground.

He clutched his stomach and gasped for breath.

Could it be that he ate something he shouldn't have tonight? But he used to eat all these things, and after having a child, he paid more attention to his diet. When it got hot, he didn't even dare to drink cold water.
