Scolded and slapped.

Pei Heng finally behaved himself.

Songzhi came in and collected the dishes. Su Li wanted to put Pei Heng down and let him sleep for a while, but just as she hugged him, Pei Heng stopped her.

"I want to sit down for a while."

It's rare for him not to go crazy. Pei Heng's voice is low and magnetic, which is very catchy.

He has been lying there for three years, and except for the occasional movement when the servants changed his bedding and clothes, he stayed in almost the same position.

Now that I'm sitting up, it feels good.

Su Li held back her tears, changed her seat and sat next to Pei Heng, pushed him up, and began to pat his back.

Pei Heng's back was soaked after just a bowl of porridge. It seemed that even a simple act like drinking porridge was extremely strenuous for him.

Su Li lifted his hair and started massaging from the back of his neck all the way to his back and lower back.

Poor thing, because of being bedridden for so long, his back is covered with bedsores. She saw them last night when she was wiping him down, and seeing them again now is shocking.

"Does it hurt?"

Su Li asked carefully.

"It doesn't hurt!"

It would be strange if it didn't hurt! His limbs were crippled, not his entire body, and he still had the feeling. Saying this was just deceiving himself.

"It's okay, it's easy to treat. Just turn it over more often, wash it more often, and pay attention to your diet, and it will be healed soon."

It's said that people who are bedridden for long periods of time are prone to bedsores, and Su Li paid close attention to this in her previous life. In the later stages of his cancer treatment, her husband was unable to care for himself. She regularly turned him over, massaged him, and cleaned him every morning and evening, and he never developed bedsores.

She is very experienced in this regard.

"Ok!"

Pei Heng responded slightly.

When he first lay down, he was surrounded by several loyal maids and guards, who served him very well, but they all got tired of him within half a year.

One winter morning, the group left without saying goodbye.

The maids in Qingshan Courtyard were replaced one after another, and the later ones became less and less attentive.

Su Li had just arrived and still had some enthusiasm and confidence.

I'm afraid this young lady will become impatient in a few days.

"Prince, I will give you a full body massage. Wherever I press, please respond and tell me if you feel anything. I will check on you."

Seeing that Pei Heng had finally calmed down, Su Li made a cautious request. Seeing that he didn't resist, she began to press open the sections of his back one by one.

Everywhere I touched was skin and bones.

After checking his entire body, she found that his condition was better than she had imagined. Pei Heng actually fell asleep comfortably under her massage.

There was a hint of satisfaction on his thin face, but his brows were still slightly furrowed, and there was a suspicious moisture on his long eyelashes.

Su Li gently covered him with a blanket and left the room.

When they arrived at the side room, the two children were still taking a nap. She said to Song Tao:

"Go call over the mute slave and mute girl from this morning. I have something to ask them."

Song Tao responded and went out.

Nanny Li came over and asked worriedly:

"Miss, the prince didn't do anything to you, did he?"

Pei Heng was too sensitive, so Su Li didn't dare let Li Ma, Song Zhi and Song Tao in, fearing that too many people would irritate him.

When Su Li entered the room just now, Nanny Li, Songzhi and Songtao were worried about her and were waiting outside the door.

So, they all heard Pei Heng's yelling inside.

"Don't worry, Mammy. The only thing he has left is his tough mouth. What can he do to me? Mammy, please keep an eye on the people in the courtyard during this period. Don't let them have any bad intentions."

"Don't worry, young lady. I know everything."

As they were talking, Song Tao came in with the mute slave and the mute girl. The mute slave limped when he came in.

The two men lowered their heads and stood quietly with their bodies bowed.

Su Li said:

"Yan Nu, Ya Gu, are you brother and sister?"

The mute slave and the mute girl nodded in surprise.

Seeing this, Su Li confirmed his guess, and said softly:

"I want to transfer you to serve the prince, are you willing?"

Hearing this, the mute slave and the mute girl were shocked all over, looked at each other in disbelief, and then knelt down on the ground with a thud, and began to kowtow without saying a word.

Su Li felt a headache just watching this, and quickly asked them to stop, saying:

"However, since the mute slave is a man, he cannot easily come to the inner courtyard. From now on, if the prince has any business, I will ask you to help him run errands outside, okay?"

The mute slave had a simple and honest appearance, and a body of muscular muscles as big as a mountain. He should have been a macho man, but at this moment his eyes were full of grievances, with sparkling tears in them. He patted his chest and nodded vigorously.

The mute girl had a pretty face. At this moment, she looked at Su Li eagerly, babbling and gesturing, hoping that Su Li could arrange work for her as soon as possible.

Su Li smiled and said:

"The prince doesn't like outsiders entering his room right now. Ya Gu, I'd like to ask you to help in the kitchen first and keep an eye on things to prevent anyone from eating the prince's food. Are you willing?"

The kitchen is an important place, and every grain of rice and every sip of water must be taken seriously. Although Aunt Tian and Aunt Hua have taken refuge with Su Li, people's hearts are still hidden.

Ya Gu nodded seriously, indicating that she would do her best.

Su Li called Song Zhi over and said:

"Songzhi, go to Fanlou, buy a fat chicken and a pot of fine rice wine. Take the chicken and wine to the City God Temple in the east of the city, invite a doctor named Fei, and have the mute slave accompany you."

"City God Temple? Fat chicken and rice wine? Last name Fei?"

Songzhi was a little confused. Shouldn't she go to Huichuntang to see a doctor?

But Su Li smiled,

"Go ahead. When you see Doctor Fei, tell him I'll give him a fat chicken a day for ten days if he comes with you. If he can cure the prince, I'll give him three fat chickens a day and unlimited yellow wine for the rest of his life!"

Songzhi was confused and went out with the mute slave.

Song Tao took Ya Gu to the kitchen.

Matron Li asked in confusion:

"Miss, who is this Doctor Fei?"

Su Li smiled mysteriously,

"We'll know when the time comes."

In the book, the doctor named Fei is a miraculous doctor who travels around. Later, he is met by the heroine Liu Xu. In order to repay Liu Xu for giving him a chicken, Fei once helped Liu Xu save the life of a prince in distress.

And this prince later became the emperor.

Liu Xu, because she was the emperor's savior, later rose from a commoner to a princess.

This Dr. Fei often hangs around the City God Temple.

"Miss, one more thing, you and this mute slave and mute girl only met once this morning. Why did you promote them to such an important task?"

"Mammy, I can tell fortunes, do you believe me?"

Nanny Li remained silent.

In fact, when Su Li saw Ya Nu and Ya Gu in the morning, she felt that they looked familiar.

Today she thought about the plot of the original novel for a long time, and finally remembered it when Pei Heng yelled at him to die.

In the original novel, Pei Heng died on a cold winter morning. After a grand funeral at the Marquis's mansion, a loyal brother and sister committed suicide by colliding with their heads in front of Pei Heng's tombstone, both sacrificing themselves for their master.

The book didn't mention the siblings' names, but Su Li understood everything just by asking.

How could such a loyal servant harm Pei Heng?

She should protect such a loyal servant well!

On the bed, Huan Ge'er was actually not asleep at all. He squinted his eyes and kept listening to the noise.

This woman looks fierce and cruel, but it is undeniable that nothing she has done so far has been detrimental to her father.

Okay, let her stay in Qingshanyuan for now.

……

The events of Qingshan Court soon reached the ears of the Marquis' wife.

"Whip?!"

The Marquis’s wife widened her eyes.

This woman is truly arrogant and domineering! What kind of lady from a noble family would whip someone?!

However, any lady from a wealthy family would be unable to resist throwing a tantrum when she thought of the humiliation she had endured in Zhengqitang.

"Madam, you must have been pushed to the limit! Things have been happening one after another for a whole day and night. Even the best temper would be driven crazy."

Nanny Qian stood behind the Marquis and massaged his wife's shoulders.

"Hmph, that's true. She happily married here, but the groom ran off with another woman. She was so angry that she married a paraplegic, and then she had two illegitimate children. Haha, no wonder she was so angry that she didn't even come to eat."

"Madam, I heard that the one next to her named Songzhi went out with her mute slave. I heard they were going to see a doctor."

Nanny Qian sent people to monitor every move of Qingshan Courtyard.

As soon as Songzhi and the mute slave left the house, the doorman went to report.

"Doctor? Even the palace physicians are helpless. How can a doctor be so capable? And you said mute slave? Who is he?"

Madam Qian lowered her head and said softly:

"Madam, have you forgotten? It turns out that he is the personal guard beside the prince."

"Weren't they all sent away?"

"Yes, they all left. After all, military orders are hard to disobey. But this one poisoned himself and made him mute, broke one of his legs, went to the Ministry of War to cancel his military registration, and knelt in front of the door and refused to leave. The Marquis was grateful for his loyalty and kept him. Madam, didn't you say that since he was a mute, there was no need to worry about him spreading rumors, so he stayed!"

"Oh!"

The Marquis's wife remembered that there was such a person.

Pei Heng had many loyal guards and maids around him, but she had also taken them away. Since this mute slave was mute anyway, he stayed in Qingshan Court to do the rough work of emptying the night incense.

"She's really good at finding people! Tell Ruyi and the others to keep a close eye on the situation. If there's any disturbance in the inner courtyard, report it immediately."

"Yes!"
