Chapter 1853: Injuries Take 100 Days to Heal

Ning Shu returned to Orchid Garden and saw her old maid Zhi Tao waiting for her at the door. She raised an eyebrow and walked over, asking, "Why are you here?"
Zhi Tao curtsied. "This servant is Miss's personal maid so of course this servant must be by Miss's side to take care of Miss."
This girl had come out of nowhere. Ning Shu rolled her eyes and curled her lips in disdain. If this was the case, where had this servant been all this time?
When Zhi Tao saw Ning Shu remain quiet with a strange expression, she hurriedly said, "This servant had been recovering from the broken hand. Now that this servant’s hand is almost back to normal, this servant has come to serve Miss."
"Oh, injuries take 100 days to heal. You better go back and recuperate well," said Ning Shu indifferently. She just took a leave to recover from her injuries without saying a word.
Zhi Tao knelt down. "Miss, this servant will serve Miss well in the future. Please give this servant another chance."
Ning Shu said, "Just do what should be done. I won’t request for you to be particularly loyal."
These maids were, to put it bluntly, just workers. It was all too normal for them to aim to move towards higher places.
"Yes, yes, this servant understands." Zhi Tao immediately cried with joy.
Ning Shu said again, "Go sweep the yard. You’ll be the sweeping maid for now."
The personal maid had to be carefully chosen, how could it be decided so easily? After all, a personal maid knew their master’s situation quite well, perhaps even better than their master’s parents.
They could be said to be the closest people to their master. Ning Shu intended to examine Zhi Tao for some time.
After all, Zhi Tao had always been Feng Qingqian’s servant. She just didn’t know how Feng Qingqian would deal with this servant when she returned.
When Zhi Tao heard that Ning Shu had demoted her to being a sweeping maid, her face collapsed. Still, she bowed towards Ning Shu and said, "This servant understands."
Ning Shu nodded, waved her hand, and indicated Zhi Tao to leave the room. She then took off her shoes and sat on the bed to cultivate.
Due to Ning Shu and Ying Su's battling, Feng Qingqian’s body mechanisms now had some problems. Ying Su's heavy Yin energy had caused quite some damage to this body.
Ning Shu had no choice but to cultivate and slowly repair this body. Otherwise, Feng Qingqian would end up with a short lifespan when she came back.
Ning Shu stayed in the general’s residence and didn’t take a single step out. A big event took place in the capital, though. Prince Xin had attempted to assassinate the emperor. He was now being hunted by the entire city, and the guards were combing through every house.
As a result, the atmosphere in the capital was quite tense.
Prince Xin hadn’t done the deed personally. The emperor would invite his vassals, who had come to offer birthday gifts, to the palace to chat from time to time. The stage would be set with singing and dancing. They would drink and appreciate the beautiful women.
This time, the enchanting and charming dancing girls suddenly drew their snowy swords and slashed at the dumbfounded vassal kings. They killed two of them on the spot and injured several others.
While some dancers slashed towards the emperor, others actually shouted towards Prince Xin, “Master, you withdraw first. We subordinates swear to protect you with our lives,” and blah blah. They said some incomparably touching words about loyalty to death and then accidentally dropped a token they were carrying.
Above the token was a large ‘Xin’ character.
Prince Xin's expression was extremely dark at that time. He was surrounded by several dancers and was dragged away in the name of protection.
Prince Xin turned around and saw the emperor, who had been stabbed in the thigh, and was furious.
Stabbing the thigh was nothing. If they had the ability, then stab the heart. Judging from their crooked aim, it was clearly a conspiracy to pin the blame on him.
By relying on his strong strength (halo), Prince Xin got rid of the dancing girls, who were grabbing him, and escaped from the palace.
The emperor, with bandages on his thigh, was furious. He vowed to catch Prince Xin. The entire city was put on red alert, and the gates had been closed.
