Long Heng hugged her with one hand, but because his palm still had the Red Pearl's medicinal properties, her clothes were also dyed red.
The man didn't care about this and only said, "Why did you faint? Quickly call a doctor."
Suddenly, that bright red hand grabbed him and said in a trembling voice, "No … no need. Just wrap your hand properly."
Long Heng didn't believe her and soon the doctor came over.
This doctor was the prince's household's doctor. He sighed inwardly about Madame Xiu's weak body and called for him every three to five days.
However, she was a beauty and the Prince liked her!
But after examining her, he found that she didn't have any illness!
The doctor's imagination ran wild. Could it be that she was pretending to be weak in order to gain the Prince's favor?
He frowned. In order to entertain his masters, he could only say, "Fourth Madame's illness is caused by a weak body. It's not serious." As he said this, he prescribed some medicine. In any case, it was good for the body and wouldn't hurt.
Long Heng only frowned. His original plan of pouncing on her as soon as they returned to the manor had been aborted.
Her hands and waist were injured. No matter how beastly he was, he had to endure it.
In any case, he was used to enduring it. Recently, he wasn't in such a rush to pounce on her. On the contrary, he felt that he wanted to be with her, but it wasn't just that.
Bai Xiangxiu didn't have a good impression of drinking medicine. She was curious as to how this doctor diagnosed her fainting from blood as weakness.
It seemed that in an instant, she had serious doubts about this doctor's medical skills.
Long Heng wanted to leave when he saw her lying down, but he didn't know what to do.
After circling around some of the narrower areas, he actually decided to stay.
Bai Xiangxiu wasn't lying down comfortably. There was a red claw mark on her clothes!
After thinking for a long time, she silently propped herself up.
Before Xiao Shi could speak, Long Heng sat to the side and looked at his book. He said in a low voice, "Lie down."
Bai Xiangxiu lay back down on the bed and closed her eyes.
However, she couldn't sleep at all, not only because of the red mark, but also because of a physiological reaction. She wanted to go to the toilet.
However, Prince was too strict, so she was strictly asked to lie down. If this continued, she might pee on the bed while still alive.
Thus, she rolled left and right on the bed, her face flushed red.
There were a few times when he wanted to prop himself up and say that he needed to go to the outhouse.
But she was shy!
If Long Heng was an ordinary man, it would be fine, but he was the man who was going to pounce on her.
Wasn't it too embarrassing to mention the matter of going to the outhouse before being pounced on?
Bear with it, bear with it. That physiological reaction was really unbearable.
Helpless, she sat up with a red face.
"Lie down …"
"Prince, this concubine wants … wants, wants that …"
"Which one?"
"To the outhouse."
Bai Xiangxiu felt like she was going to bang her head against a wall. This Prince was really too ignorant.
Long Heng stared blankly for a moment, then said with a wooden face, "Go!"
Bai Xiangxiu felt like she was asking for leave from school to go to the outhouse. Then, she walked out of the classroom under the attention of the entire class.
At first, she walked, but when she walked out of the door, she basically jogged all the way.
Originally, there was a side hall in the room, but how could she dare to enter when there was a man sitting in the room!
After she came out of the outhouse, she had Xiao Shi take her to the inner room to change her clothes.
Then, she let out a sigh of relief and returned to the room to lie down. She was much more comfortable than before.
However, as soon as she lay down, someone came to say that the old madame had fainted.
Long Heng was shocked when he heard this and immediately left. Bai Xiangxiu couldn't lie down anymore, so she followed him to the old madame's room.
When they entered, the old madame was already awake. It was said that it was an old illness. Whenever the weather was cold, she would be like this.
The book also explained that the old madame had to go to the south for a period of time to recuperate.
During this period of time, Long Heng asked the female lead to go somewhere to play. During this time, she got to know another male supporting character.
As for where they went, she had long forgotten. However, she felt that the old madame was fine, so she didn't need to worry too much.
However, she still had to put on an act. When she arrived, the other three madams had already arrived.
When Long Heng entered, the three madams and their maidservants bowed to him again and again. He didn't even frown as he walked inside.
The old madame needed to rest, so they could only watch from the outside. They couldn't enter.
Bai Xiangxiu knew what her status was, so she didn't follow in. She automatically stood outside and waited.
She was ranked fourth, so according to the rules, she sat in the fourth place.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she sat down, the second madam clicked her tongue and said, "Younger Sister, you're injured, right? Your hand looks a bit heavy."
"It's nothing."
Bai Xiangxiu raised her hand and waved it.
The second madam smiled and said, "Younger Sister can endure. However, I'm afraid that the Prince will feel distressed."
Bai Xiangxiu frowned. Was it the time to talk about this when the old madame was lying inside?
She was different from the girls of Bengui. Ever since she came here, she had been living carefully. It was the same now.
There was no other way. Who told her to not have the female lead halo!
Thus, she faintly smiled and pretended to be shy. She didn't say anything else. She only hoped that the second madam could be more honest, so that the old madame's people wouldn't find fault with her.
Unfortunately, she underestimated women's jealousy. The four of them entered the manor on almost the same day. Among them, Bai Xiangxiu had the best appearance and had always been rejected by them.
They didn't expect that the Prince would directly take a fancy to her. Not only did he often go to her place, he didn't even look at them.
This was undoubtedly a complete failure for women. How could they bear it?
Thus, finding fault with them became one of the things they had to do. Who told them to be too idle and have nothing else to do?
"I heard that you were injured in the Song manor. They really were careless. How could they let a guest suffer such a serious injury?"
The second madam only said what she heard. She always felt that this matter was fishy.
Wasn't it just an injury? Why did the Song manor and Long Heng hide this matter?
She believed that she was very well-informed, but she didn't know how she was injured.
There couldn't be any other reason, right? It was said that Miss Lin was also there that day.
One was the mistress who hadn't married into the family, and the other was a favored concubine. It was inevitable that there would be some friction.
The three madams were actually eager for them to fight. That way, they would have a good show to watch.
Of course, if there was a fight, there would be injuries.
No matter which one was injured, they would all be very happy.
"It was just an accident."
Bai Xiangxiu was also a woman. Even if she wasn't good at fighting in the manor, she still knew a bit about their thoughts.
They were thinking too much if they wanted to get any gossip from her mouth. Moreover, that matter wasn't pleasant to hear.
Since the Song family and the Prince's side had both shut up, it would be strange if she could talk about it.
The three madams were originally listening attentively, but they didn't expect that Bai Xiangxiu would faintly say such a thing. There seemed to be no way to continue this topic!
