Chapter 556 Small Town Inn

Xiangyang found two maids from nowhere and brought them a clean dress and a set of pajamas.

Jiang Shuyue couldn't explain that she had just taken a bath, so she could only let Xiao Jingzhao carry her into the bathtub.

Under the service of the two maids, Jiang Shuyue had no choice but to take another bath.

Seeing the tall figure guarding the other side of the screen motionless, Jiang Shuyue felt indescribably moved.

After taking a bath, Jiang Shuyue quickly put on her pajamas, and Xiao Jingzhao asked, "Have you washed it?"

"Well, it's done." Jiang Shuyue wrapped her hair in a cotton handkerchief and walked out.

"Don't move."

Xiao Jingzhao bent down and carried her back to the bedroom.

"Be patient. This medicine won't leave any scars after application. It may hurt a little."

Xiao Jingzhao got a box of plaster from nowhere and helped her apply it with his own hands.

The medicine has a light fragrance and feels a little burning pain when it first touches the skin, followed by a cooling sensation after a while.

Jiang Shuyue's skin was so delicate that it would turn red at the slightest touch. The injury looked serious, but in fact she didn't feel much pain.

"Azhao, when will we return to the capital?"

Xiao Jingzhao put away the remaining medicine and said, "You are already injured like this. It's not too late to rest for a day before rushing on."

"I'm fine. It's just a little skin injury. It's not a problem." Jiang Shuyue raised her wrist and moved it.

"I've asked Xiang Song to prepare the carriage. It's a day's journey from here to the capital. It's more comfortable to take a carriage. Let's eat and have a good sleep later."

After a while, Xiangyang brought food.

Looking at the four dishes and one soup on the table, Jiang Shuyue suddenly remembered that there was a bowl of multigrain porridge in her space.

While the two were eating, they talked about what happened after they separated.

Jiang Shuyue had not eaten for two days and three nights. It was not suitable to eat too much or greasy food at this time.

I ate half a bowl of porridge in the space.

At this moment she ate some light dishes and put down her chopsticks after drinking half a bowl of soup.

Xiao Jingzhao, like her, asked Xiang Yang to take away the food without eating much.

Xiao Jingzhao carried Jiang Shuyue back to the bed before turning to wash up.

Jiang Shuyue felt touched and amused in her heart. It was not like she had broken any bones. He would not let her go even one step.

After washing, Xiao Jingzhao took off his outer robe and came to the bedside. He touched Jiang Shuyue's hair that was not fully dry with his hands. He turned around and went to the bathroom to get a clean cotton handkerchief and came back, twisting her hair with his own hands.

He didn't help Jiang Shuyue lie down until he felt it was almost done.

Her black hair cascaded down one side of the pillow.

"Don't think too much, I have asked Gao Mu and Cangyun to return to the capital first, so as not to worry your girl."

Xiao Jingzhao pulled the thin quilt over the two of them, stretched out his hands to wrap his arms around them.

"You are still thoughtful, Qiu Ju must be anxious at home."

There is no shortage of people to take care of him every year in the palace. Although Jiang Shuyue misses him, she is not worried about him.

Qiu Ju knew that she would have to hide her disappearance from other people in the house. You can imagine how much pressure she felt.

Jiang Shuyue was not sleepy at the moment. In order to let Xiao Jingzhao have a good sleep, she closed her eyes and had a lot of thoughts in her heart.

After a while, listening to the even breathing of the people around her, Jiang Shuyue also fell into a deep sleep.

After Xiang Song arranged the carriage and came back, he saw Xiang Yang taking a nap on the porch.

He glanced at the closed door and lightly kicked Xiang Yang with his foot.

Xiang Yang raised his head, rubbed his eyes and lowered his voice: "Don't go in, the master has already fallen asleep."

Xiang Song left a group of soldiers in uniform to escort him at the post house, and the rest of them all took orders to return to the capital.

Seeing that noon had passed, Xiang Song pointed to the next door and said, "Let's go inside and wait."

Xiang Song went in and lay down directly on the couch with his clothes on.

Xiang Yang: "..." Why didn't he think of this?

Looking around, I saw several soft cushions on the armchairs in the room.

Extremely sleepy, he picked up the cushion and placed it on the floor and lay down.

Perhaps because she was frightened in Yizhuang, Jiang Shuyue slept uneasily. In a daze, she slipped into Xiao Jingzhao's arms.

The two slept hugging each other, Xiao Jingzhao smelled the familiar body fragrance, and did not wake up until the end of the night.

On this day, the two of them did nothing but eat and sleep.

Jiang Shuyue had insomnia at night because she slept too much during the day.

She didn't feel sleepy until late at night.

When she woke up the next day, she was already in the carriage returning to the capital.

"Did you not sleep well last night?" Xiao Jing leaned over and kissed her forehead.

Jiang Shuyue didn't want Xiao Jingzhao to worry about her, so she shook her head gently, "No, I slept very well last night. With you by my side, I slept so soundly."

Xiao Jingzhao gently stroked her cheek, "Yue Niang, can you live directly in the palace with me after you return?"

"No, there are still many things that I need to do personally at the Women's Medical Hall, and occasionally I need to go to the medical center to sit for a half-day consultation."

After Yinqiao went to Yannan, Jishitang lost an effective assistant. Jiang Shuyue calculated by herself that if she completely let go, it would take at least five years.

Her requirements for the medical woman are not just to be a stable mother-in-law.

Xiao Jingzhao also knew how busy she was, and it was not her character to live in the palace to enjoy happiness.

He looked at her with doting eyes, "Gao Mu and Cangyun are not enough to protect you. I will assign a team of secret guards to protect you secretly and will not affect your life."

Jiang Shuyue sat up from the soft couch, "This matter has nothing to do with Gao Mu and Cang. I asked them to do other things."

"I don't mean to blame them. Two people are too few and I don't feel comfortable."

Xiao Jingzhao took his coat from the wall of the carriage and helped Jiang Shuyue put it on.

Then he lifted a corner of the curtain and told Xiang Song, "Find a place to eat in front, preferably a restaurant with an inn."

"Master, there is a small town in front. There is no restaurant, but there is an inn, and you can buy food."

Jiang Shuyue quickly took over the conversation, "Okay, as long as you can wash up."

The carriage was very spacious. Jiang Shuyue asked Xiao Jingzhao to turn around and quickly change out of his pajamas and put on his dress.

Then he used a hairpin to gather his ink-like hair behind his head.

After a while, the carriage stopped in front of an inn in the middle of the town.

The innkeeper saw a luxurious carriage parked in front of the door, followed by a team of guards.

This posture showed that it was not an ordinary nobleman.

"Do you want to stop by or stay overnight?"

The innkeeper hurried forward to greet him respectfully.

Xiang Song threw a silver ingot to the waiter beside the shopkeeper, "For dinner, ask for a room upstairs, prepare more hot water, and prepare a rich breakfast."

The waiter took the silver and looked at the shopkeeper, who hurriedly said, "Go and prepare hot water for the upstairs."

The waiter took the order and trotted in.

Xiao Jingzhao helped Jiang Shuyue get off the carriage.

The shopkeeper saw that the two had good temperaments, and hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, "Please go upstairs, my dear, I will prepare food right away."

Xiao Jingzhao and Jiang Shuyue went upstairs, and the waiter quickly brought hot water.

Jiang Shuyue came out of the bathroom, washed up, walked to the dressing table, sat down and combed her hair again.

Xiao Jingzhao took out the ointment to help her apply the ointment, and he was relieved when he saw that the red and swollen areas had improved a lot.

After a while, the waiter brought up tea and food.

Seeing Xiao Jingzhao frowning slightly, the waiter bowed quickly, "Drink some porridge first, my lord. The buns and barbecue will be here soon."

"Is there barbecue for sale here?"

Jiang Shuyue was quite surprised.

"Is it delivered here?"

A familiar voice sounded outside the door.
