Ambitious Favored Consort: How To Become A Wangfei

Chapter 33: Plastic

Tongxiu carried her skirt and ran quickly along the corridor. Before she approached the gate, she stopped and took a deep breath, and when her breath calmed down, she hurried towards the gate.

At this time, Prince Jing's carriages just stopped at the gate one after another, and the womenfolk's carriage did not stop and drove directly to the second gate. While unloading things, Tongxiu asked the accompanying guard, "Why did Wangye only come back now? It was many days later than expected. Was there a delay on the road?"

"No." The guard replied, "It's Miss Tang who is ill. Wangye has been waiting for Miss Tang to get well before he set off the journey."

Tongxiu seemed to hear something from the fantasy world, her eyes widened in disbelief, and she could not understand the guard's words at all. Did not Prince Jing hate trouble the most, especially when he has to prolong the whole journey due to one person. One of the womenfolk fell ill and Prince Jing did not throw the person away, yet he was waiting at the relay post station for the woman to get better?

At this time, a little eunuch hurried over and called, "Tongxiu Gugu."

Tongxiu answered quickly. The eunuch stopped panting, "Gugu, Steward Liu has something to say. He wanted you to call the mansion's imperial physicians as soon as possible."

"What?" Tongxiu immediately nervous, "Is Wangye injured?"

"No, it's for Miss Tang to check her pulse."

Tang Shishi recovered from a serious illness, but her illness kept coming back and forth along the way. Prince Jing stopped at the relay post station for three days, but Tang Shishi wanted to return to the mansion urgently and reluctantly said that she was well at that time. As soon as she entered the second gate, she could not hold it anymore and quickly went back to her courtyard to rest.

In the Jianjia courtyard, the maids had been busy since they received the news that Prince Jing was on the way back. When they heard the news of the carriages entering the gate, Dujuan was surprised, "Why is it so fast?"

Just now a young manservant reported that there was still a stick of incense, but they came back in a blink of an eye. Dujuan hurriedly went outside to greet Tang Shishi. As soon as she went out, she saw Tang Shishi being escorted and walked back looking sickly.

Dujuan was very surprised when she saw Tang Shishi's complexion. She helped Tang Shishi through the door, and the maid inside quickly served hot tea, put cushions, and some cakes for her. After everything was arranged, Dujuan poured a cup of tea for Tang Shishi, and carefully looked at Tang Shishi's face, "Miss, what's the matter with you?"

Tang Shishi supported her forehead and said weakly, "It rained in the paddock. I caught a cold and have not been well on the journey. It's not a problem, I just need to sleep."

After hearing this, the Dujuan exclaimed, "You are actually infected with a cold. Miss, you go lie down first, and I'll make ginger soup for you."

Before Tang Shishi had time to stop her, Dujuan hurriedly ran outside the room. She had just left the doorway and met a group of people. What she wanted to say was stuck in her belly. Her tongue became numb, "Liu... Liu Gonggong? Gonggong is always busy, why are you here?"

Liu Ji said with a friendly smile, "Wangye has ordered to check on Miss Tang's pulse. Is Miss Tang inside?"

Du Juan glanced inwardly, suddenly reacted, and hurriedly gave way to Liu Ji and a group of imperial physicians, "Miss is inside."

Tang Shishi was holding her forehead and closing her eyes temporarily to calm her dizzy mind. She opened her eyes slightly when she heard the movement outside the door. When she saw Liu Ji, she was about to stand up, but Liu Ji quickly stopped her, "Miss, you shouldn't. Your body is delicate, just rest."
