Chun Er waited for Bing Lanyue to lie down again, and then, through the curtain, she slept on a bed not far away from Bing Lanyue. After blowing on the light for a long while, she said: "Miss, you definitely can't go against Concubine Lin."
"I know, go to sleep …" Bing Lanyue was originally very clear-headed, but hearing Chun Er's words, her eyes revealed a touch of coldness. She knew what she meant, as the had treated Bing Lanyue well in her memories, but she was not the Bing Lanyue in her memories.
The sky was bright, and after waking up from yesterday's headache, she had already felt much better. Matriarch had specially gone to the Imperial Hospital to invite the imperial palace's medicine woman to treat her.
Matriarch, the sole direct daughter that the previous deceased wife left behind was always cold, neither intimate nor isolated. Why did he seem to be interested in him after one night?
After the doctor girl checked Bing Lanyue's pulse, she used a silver needle to treat her. Then, she wrote a prescription and passed it to Chun Zi, telling her to apply it on the side.
"Chun Er, go and get me some candied fruits."
When a bowl of pitch black medicinal juice was placed in front of him, Bing Lanyue frowned, she had already drank this medicine six or seven days ago, but her headache was actually getting worse and worse. This time, she did not plan to drink anymore, and in Chun Er's absence, she had poured two-thirds of the medicine away, leaving the rest in the small jar she had prepared under the bed.
When Chun Er returned, she saw that the young miss was already frowning as she wiped her mouth. The medicine bowl was already cleaned up, and she was surprised.
Bing Lanyue picked up a sweet fruit and placed it in her mouth, she lightly scratched Chun Er's round face and said: "I want to quickly recover, so naturally I'll obediently eat the medicine."
Young miss is getting easier to please, Chun Er is so happy! Chun Er happily patted her hands, but Bing Lanyue quietly pulled her hand, and said softly: "Can you help me find some things?"
"What does Miss want to eat? Chun Er will definitely get it for you. " Chun thought her young mistress wanted something delicious and fun, so she agreed without hesitation.
Just then, Bing Lanyue took out a piece of paper from under her pillow, and wrote a bunch of things on it. Chun Er looked troubled as she said: "Miss, I can't get ahold of these things, Chun Er can only go to the fourth gate, and the fifth gate is the General's Estate. As long as it's us servants, we can't leave."
Bing Lanyue pursed her lips, it seemed that the thing she wanted could only be found after leaving the house.
"Then is Chun Er willing to help me with something else?" Bing Lanyue's smile was very warm, but it made Chun Er feel a chill on her back.
"Miss, you're saying …"
"Help me catch a few rats!"
"Huh?"
At night, using the weak light in the room, Bing Lanyue saw the mouse inside the bamboo cage sniffing around uneasily with eyes shining brightly.
"Miss, this was caught by the little fish from the second door while I was in the kitchen. This damn mouse made us spend a lot of effort to find this live rat, but you told me not to tell anyone else." Chun Er mumbled, and it sounded like she was talking to herself, she didn't understand what her young miss wanted such a disgusting thing for.
"Chun Er, find me a steel cage. This cage can't handle these rats. Bing Lanyue naturally heard Chun Er's mutterings, but now was not the time to explain, she was only suspecting a few things, and had not confirmed it. She did not plan to tell anyone, including Chun Er.
"Oh, Little Fishy already gave it to me. I thought it was too dirty, so I washed it. I said it was used to seal the pangolin in the kitchen, so it was greasy." As he spoke, Chun had already brought back a small metal cage from the outside. Looking at the dark cage made one feel stifled.
Bing Lanyue rolled up her sleeves, put on the thick gloves that she herself made, and extended her hand to grab one of the rats, only to hear it squeak and scream. Bing Lanyue had already thrown the mouse into the iron cage.
"Miss, you, you, you …" Chun Er did not dare believe his eyes. The young miss, who normally would not even dare touch a red-crowned crane in a garden, actually dared to catch such a black and disgusting rat.
"Chun Er, I'm hungry. Give me something to eat." Bing Lanyue's tone was light, but a smile still hung on his face, causing him to stare blankly for a moment as he walked out.
Bing Lanyue took the chance while Chun Er was gone to throw a piece of chicken, which had been soaked in medicinal juice for an entire day, into the cage. Then, she covered it with a cloth and placed it in the corner of the Little Flower Garden at the back of her house.
"Eh, where are Miss's rats?" When Chun Er returned, he saw her young miss reading a book lazily. She was not only curious about her.
"I threw them in the water and drowned..." Bing Lanyue was very calm when she said this, but Chun Er actually shivered.
