Chapter 611 Blood Swallow
Jiang Youzhen finally sent away the worried Jiang Fugui and the crying Shen. She sighed and finally could rest.
"I'm hungry! I'm hungry!" Jiang Youzhen was about to lie down when the mynah bird suddenly jumped over.
Jiang Youzhen said weakly, "Someone, take this thing down and feed it something."
"Has it become a spirit?" Jiang Youzhen was so sleepy that he fell asleep immediately.
Jiang Youzhen stayed in the Fourth Prince's Mansion for three consecutive days. During this period, she drank a lot of spiritual spring water and drank up all the spiritual spring water rewarded by the system.
But the effect is also very significant. Jiang Youzhen has gotten much better. At least he doesn't feel pain when he moves.
"Mr. Jiang, please get up and have some bird's nest porridge!" A round-faced maid walked in, her face full of joy.
She was later sent by the Fourth Prince to take care of Jiang Youzhen's daily life. Her name was Xiao Yuer.
Xiao Yu'er is very clever, lively and likable. Jiang Youzhen has gotten a lot of information out of this girl these days, but it's all trivial. It's impossible to get some confidential information out, and this little girl can't know it.
Jiang Youzhen sat up and suddenly felt itchy all over.
These days she asked someone to fetch her some water so she could simply wipe herself. She felt uncomfortable all over after not taking a bath for three days.
With a sigh, Jiang Youzhen took the porcelain bowl of bird's nest. He had eaten too well in the past three days. But it was not good to eat too much. His chest felt a little tight in the past two days. It should be that it had grown again.
Just as I was about to take a sip, I found that the bird's nest in the bowl was not snow-white, but red.
"Is this a blood bird's nest?" Jiang Youzhen was very surprised. In the Great Yun Dynasty, bird's nest was a sacred nourishing product and was very expensive. The price of a blood bird's nest was even more expensive and it was rare to see it.
Rumor has it that the red color is caused by the swallows vomiting blood, but Jiang Youzhen knows that it is the minerals on the cave wall that penetrate into the bird's nest through contact, forming the red color.
"Yes! There are a total of five taels in the mansion, and it was given by Concubine Hua." Xiao Yuer said while staring at the bowl in Jiang Youzhen's hand, afraid that Jiang Youzhen would accidentally drop it.
"What? So expensive?" Jiang Youzhen stopped the spoon that was about to reach his mouth.
"What have I done to deserve this?" Jiang Youzhen raised his eyebrows. Is the Fourth Prince so generous?
What's wrong with a mother eating the food she gives to her son to nourish his body?
"It's just that His Highness specifically ordered it to be stewed for you, saying that you have lost a lot of vitality and need to replenish your body. As for this blood swallow, no matter how precious it is, it is right for you to drink it."
Xiao Yuer said this with a look of pride on her face, as if she had already been Jiang Youzhen's personal maid.
Jiang Youzhen smiled awkwardly. It seemed that all the servants in this mansion were shrewd.
Don’t be fooled by Xiaoyuer’s heartless appearance, but what she said just now was clearly directed at her!
It's already cooked, so it's a waste if I don't drink it. Jiang Youzhen swallowed it in three or two mouthfuls, and he had to admit that it was really delicious.
I have to find a way to get some money to make up for it after I go back. Anyway, I still have three or four hundred thousand taels of silver in my hands and have nowhere to spend it!
"Go out! Go out! Get some sun! Get some sun!" a slightly sharp voice sounded.
Jiang Youzhen looked over and found a cage hanging by the window, and inside it was the mynah bird that the second prince had brought over a few days ago.
"Xiaobai, you've only been here for three days, how come you've gained so much weight?"
Jiang Youzhen clicked his tongue. The starling had had a good meal these past two days. Its belly became round and the bird gained weight.
"Asshole! Asshole!"
Hearing the starling getting angry and screaming in the cage, Jiang Youzhen ignored her.
She has been lying in bed for three days. If she lies down any longer, she will develop bedsores.
Lifting the quilt, Jiang Youzhen planned to get out of bed and walk around.
"Oh! Mr. Jiang, the doctor told you not to get out of bed."
Xiao Yuer was just about to leave with the tray, but when he turned around he saw Jiang Youzhen was about to get off the ground, so he quickly stepped forward to stop him.
"It's okay! I'm much better now. Lying down all the time is not good for recovery." Jiang Youzhen waved her hand. She certainly knew her own body.
"But..." Xiao Yuer looked embarrassed and almost cried.
"But His Highness has ordered that you are not allowed to get out of bed. If I did not take good care of you and His Highness knew about it, I would be punished. The lightest punishment would be a fine of three months' salary, the heaviest punishment would be twenty strokes of the cane."
Jiang Youzhen was speechless. This was a damned imperial society. It would be fine if you fined her the monthly salary, but you even want to punish her with a cane? How could you do that to such a cute little girl?
Who would have thought that the Fourth Prince, who looked so glorious and bright, would actually physically punish his servants at every turn?
Sighing, Jiang Youzhen decided not to embarrass the workers. He was about to lie down, but the starling shouted again, "Old Four is insidious! Old Four is insidious!"
Quite appropriate? Jiang Youzhen couldn't help laughing. This mynah bird was really a chatterbox. Sometimes he made people laugh, and sometimes he made people anxious.
"Old Four is insidious~"
"Ah~" the starling suddenly screamed and flapped its wings in the cage.
"Help! Jiang Youzhen, help!"
Jiang Youzhen was startled and looked over quickly, and found an arrow stuck in the side of the cage, and a lot of feathers inside the cage had fallen off.
"Help! Help! Birds are being killed~" the starling screamed.
"I'll break your throat if you scream again!" came a stern shout.
The scream stopped abruptly, the starling's eyes rolled around, and fate was strangled by someone.
Is it Yuan Shang? I didn't expect Yuan Shang's archery skills were also good. If the arrow just now had missed, the starling would have died.
"Ah~" The starling suddenly let out a wail, and fell down into the cage.
"Is it dead?" Jiang Youzhen was shocked. Although this starling was a bit noisy, it was good for entertaining people when they were bored.
"Haha! This starling is really smart. It can even pretend to be dead. Yuan Shangke didn't intend to kill it, but it lost some hair."
The Fourth Prince's voice came closer and closer, and he strode in.
Yuan Shang walked to the cage and sneered at the starling pretending to be dead inside the cage, "Stupid bird! If you say something nonsense again next time, I will kill you."
Jiang Youzhen saw Xiaobai's wings move, and his mouth twitched. This bird is really a wise man who knows the current situation and can even pretend to be dead.
But what did Yuan Shang mean? Why did he look at me with that warning look?
"Are you feeling better today?" The Fourth Prince ignored him and walked forward to ask with concern.
The Fourth Prince's eyes were extremely gentle, and it was easy for people to be intoxicated by them. However, Jiang Youzhen could not be intoxicated at all, because she always felt that this gentleness was hiding calculations.
"Much better. My chest doesn't hurt that much anymore. I wanted to get out of bed and walk around. But Xiao Yuer said His Highness wouldn't allow it, so I can only rest in bed."
"Oh? You're recovered so quickly? But didn't the doctor say you'd have to lie down for a month or so?" The Fourth Prince was a little surprised that Jiang Youzhen recovered so quickly.
Jiang Youzhen quickly raised his arms and moved them. "I have indeed recovered a lot. The doctor may be cautious. I am young! I recover quickly."
