After Gu Qingli heard about the sting, she rushed to Yuexuan to get the Jade Dew Powder. She walked over to take the handkerchief away and smelled the faint scent of dandelion and horse teeth. She was surprised at how well Zhou Zhen had treated the wound.
Zhou Zhen explained it again as she had said before, and only then did she nod her head. She used a wet towel to slowly wipe away the grass juice, and then applied the jade dew to it.
Without any change in expression, Gu Qing Li extended three of his fingers and placed it on Helian Shuang's wrist. He only felt that his pulse was steady and normal, as if nothing had changed.
"Perhaps that wild bee was a bit too poisonous, or perhaps the physiques of the Northern Chu people are a bit different … Although Princess Helian is still unconscious, her pulse is normal. She will wake up very soon. " When Gu Qing left the room and spoke like this, a trace of doubt appeared in his heart.
At this time, Helian Shuang's convulsions had gradually stopped. She was only in a deep slumber. It seemed that there was nothing out of the ordinary about her.
Helian Yu was unable to return to the inn alone, so he simply invited him to the front courtyard to have a meal and rest.
While holding Gu Qing Li's hand, Xiaoyi Xiu inadvertently shoved a handkerchief wrapped around the dead bee into Gu Qing Li's palm. Then he and Helian Yu went to the front courtyard and instructed them to accompany the princess if she woke up.
Gu Qingli looked around the room and walked to the corner by herself. She spread out her palm and stared at the wasp. The more she looked, the weirder it felt. There were four pairs of membranous wings, four pairs of powdered feet, and the stinging stings on the tail had been cut off. It didn't look like much, but the mouthparts were unusually sharp. They didn't look like the chewing and sucking mouthparts of bees.
What in the world was this?
Gu Qingli was deep in thought when she heard the inner chamber's joyous cry. "It's awake! The princess is awake!"
Gu Qingli quickly put away the handkerchief and entered the room. When she saw Helian Lie awake, she sat up on the bed. However, the red and swollen half of his face had not completely disappeared yet. He still had the Jade Dew Powder on his face and had a wet handkerchief stuck to it. He did not look too good.
"What's wrong with the princess?" As the main concubine, Gu Qingli naturally had to show her concern and concern, but in reality, there was no concern in her eyes. This Savage Princess was not like Princess Lan Xun. Her personality was savage and her heart was kind. Just from her eyes, one could tell her ruthlessness.
Helian Peng was dazed for a moment. He extended his hand and was about to touch his face. He frowned and said, "It hurts. It's even a bit cold and numb."
Zhou Zhen hurriedly stopped her. "This is all normal. Later on, there will be strange itchiness and a piercing pain. But the princess must not extend her hand to caress it in order to avoid damaging her beauty."
Helian Lie looked at Zhou Zhen in confusion, then looked at Gabriella, "Who are they?"
Gu Qingli explained the identities of the two madams to her, causing Helian Shuang's expression to turn even uglier. She didn't expect Xiao Yi Xiu to have two other wives besides her main wife. They both looked like delicate flowers, so she couldn't help but feel jealous. Only when she heard that Zhou Zhen had dealt with the bee venom in time to cure her did her expression ease up slightly. At last, she had a good impression of Zhou Zhen.
However, when Helian Lie lowered his head and saw that he had changed into the attire of a woman from Dongyuan City, his expression changed once more. There was disgust and disgust in his eyes. Whose dress is this? It's too much trouble, too dark... It's so ugly! "
Even Gabriella couldn't help but frown. She thought that Princess Helian was very rude, kind enough to save her, and even changed her dirty clothes. So far, she hadn't even heard a word of thanks. If it wasn't for the great disparity between their statuses, she really wanted to return a few pleasantries.
Gu Qingli also withdrew the center of her brows. Her face was frosted over, and just as she was about to retort, she heard Zhou Zhen's reply, "Princess, please forgive me. These clothes belong to me. This concubine was born into a humble family with a humble background. She was unable to enter the eyes of a princess. As the princess was stung by the wasp, she fell unconscious in the flower bush, and her dress was stained with the flower mud and frost dew, so she dared to change into the princess. "Originally, the mansion had a set of luxurious clothing, but I was afraid that the princess would love to be clean and wouldn't like other people's clothes. My clothes were newly made, and although it isn't eye-catching, I have never worn them."
Zhou Zhen spoke with confidence and assurance. Her expression was as indifferent and dignified as ever. Although she was modest and not inferior, her words were thoughtful, making it hard for people to refute him. Gu Qingli, on the other hand, gave her a look of appreciation.
It was only then that Helian Peng realized he had fainted and fallen into the mud of flowers, staining his clothes with filth. He also felt that Zhou Zhen was very considerate with her worries. Although he was only a delicate and pretty boy, he had the grace of a lady from a noble family. He was willing to bow his head and submit, which was much more pleasing to the eye than Gu Qing Li's cold and arrogant attitude.
"Where is the prince?" Helian Xianzi vented his anger and thought of Xiao Yi Xiu.
Zhou Zhen said: "Because it is inconvenient to enter a woman's room, the Prince and Prince Helian are currently waiting in the outer chamber. I am only advising Princess Helian to meditate and recuperate, not to go out for the time being."
Helian Xianzi frowned. His eyes were filled with a trace of anger. "Why?"
This time, without waiting for Zhou Zhen's reply, Gu Qingli had already taken out the Precious Appearance Copper Mirror from the dressing table and placed it before Helian Zhenren. With a smile that was not a smile, she said, "Princess Helian, please examine your jade face."
He grabbed the copper mirror and threw it with all his might, creating a heaven shaking sound. This caused Helian Yu and Xiao Yixiu, who were in the outer room, to be startled, and without caring about the difference between them, they hurriedly entered the inner room.
Helian Yu frowned as he stared at the copper mirror that had been smashed into a distorted shape. He asked, "What are you doing?"
Although Helian Xianzi's talent was insufficient, he was still a woman who had practiced martial arts since childhood. His strength was truly not small, and it caused a large dent on the teak wood floor of Zhou Zhen's room. The bouncing of the bronze mirror had also left several shallow marks on the floor.
Seeing that Xiao Yi Xiu was looking at her, Helian Peng hurriedly stretched out his hand to cover his face, revealing only a pair of narrow phoenix-like eyes, afraid that he would see her unbeautiful side.
Xiao Yi Xiu was aware of her actions. He smiled like a gentle breeze caressing his face. "Don't worry Princess, it's just a small bee sting. It won't affect your devastatingly beautiful appearance."
Although his words were polite and there was a hint of praise in his tone, his gaze only swept across her face as he said to Zhou Zhen, "You and Bi Ruo should stay behind and take care of Princess Bi Ru. If there is anything wrong, inform Ben Xing."
"Yes." Zhou Zhen bowed slightly and lowered her head to her eyes.
"Princess, you must rest well. You mustn't let the scars on your face and ruin such a delicate and beautiful appearance," said Xiao Yixiu.
Helian Shuang was instantly overjoyed. She took it as his concern for her and her eyes instantly reddened. She nodded her head with extreme gentleness. She even lowered her voice to an octave, no longer appearing as domineering and tyrannical as before.
However, Xiao Yi Xiu had already led Gu Qing Li out of the room without waiting for her to explain.
Helian Yu really didn't show much care for this little sister. Other than seeing her smash the bronze mirror when she entered the sect and felt that she was a stately princess of a country that was bold and fierce, insulting the family's members, he had never expressed any concern or greetings regarding the red and swollen discomfort on her face.
He only thought that if her unhealthy little sister had not broken off their family's flowers and caused them to sting, ruining his interest in talking with Princess Mo, he might still be in the midst of a conversation with her.
