Looking at Cherry in disbelief, Mu Qiu's brows creased into a line. Seeing Cherry nod, he shifted his gaze to Hua Mu Jin's body.
After a long time, time seemed to have stopped. It was extremely quiet.
"Miss, this servant feels that the relationship between Miss Jin and the Emperor is probably not ordinary."
Without needing Cherry to explain, Mu Qiu thought the same thing.
Seeing Mu Qiu's contemplation, Cherry knew that her young miss was aware of the formidable relationship between the two, so she continued, "Miss, His Majesty seems to really care about Miss Jin. If we later find out that she was wronged, it would be hard to avoid bestowing the title of an imperial concubine on Miss Jin. In the future, all of you will have to serve the emperor. Miss, although you have a kind heart, it doesn't mean that she won't try to woo you. "
Hearing Cherry's words, Mu Qiu smiled bitterly and continued to apply the medicine for the hibiscus flower.
"I didn't want to enter the palace. If it weren't for father forcing me to, who would want to enter the golden silk cage? I've never wanted to enter it."
"I think the same as I do."
After Mu Qiu finished speaking, a voice suddenly interrupted her words.
Astonished, she looked over. Hua Mu Jin had already opened her eyes, and her lips were pale as she looked at her.
"Elder sister Jin, you, when did you wake up …"
With great difficulty, she forced out a smile. Hua Mujiao was lying on the bed with her head tilted, her voice was a little weak, "I just woke up. Don't worry, there's something I have to do when I enter the palace. I don't plan on fighting with anyone for a favor. Once I'm done, I'll leave. "What concubine? I've never really cared about that."
"Miss Jin, your servant …"
Seeing the flower hibiscus awaken, Cherry hurriedly stood up, looking slightly panicked.
"It's fine, what you said is the truth. Cherry, can you pour me a glass of water? I'm thirsty. "
"This servant will immediately go and get it."
With that, Cherry walked quickly to the table, poured a cup of water, supported the hibiscus flower against her shoulder, and gave it to her to drink.
At this moment, Mu Qiu had already finished applying medicine on Hua Mujiao's wounds. He tidied up her clothes and handed them over to Cherry. "Cherry, you can leave first. I have something to say to Big Sister Jin."
"Yes sir!"
He took the medicine and left the room, closing the door behind him.
In a room that wasn't too big, only Hua Mu Jin and Mu Qiu were left.
Mu Qiu asked with concern, "Elder Sister Jin, is your wound still painful? But it feels better. "
With a grin, Hua Mujiao replied, "If it doesn't hurt, then it's fake. I don't know how many times I've been beaten. My butt felt like it was blooming, so I'm definitely covered in blood, right?"
Even though it was drugged, Hua Mu Jin still felt a burning pain on the spot where she was hit. This kind of punishment was worse than death.
"Endure it. The imperial physician said that it will be fine in half a month." It's just that these days, your wounds are not allowed to touch water. "
Giving Mu Qiu a comforting look, Hua Mujiao said, "I'm fine. As long as I'm alive, it's not a big deal. The more painful it is, the more I can remember what I suffered today. Didn't you say that 'this hatred is not avenged by a gentleman'? "How many times have I suffered today? In the future, I will make those who framed me pay double back!"
Mu Qiu shook his head helplessly after hearing Hua Mujiao's teasing. "I like Big Sister Jin, your temper is about the same as mine. "It seems like the two of us are rather compatible with each other."
Hearing this, Hua Mujiao shot a glance at Mu Qiu and denied, "What do you mean by 'smelly and similar'? How unpleasant. We are all in the same boat! "
He bit his lips as if he had made a great decision. After a long time, he asked, "Big Sister Jin Jin, I think the emperor cares a lot about you today. May I ask how you and the emperor met?"
