…
Lian Jinchen didn't know how he walked out of the palace and how he returned home.
He fell down on the chair, and at some point, a thin layer of sweat broke out on his forehead.
The lip color is also slightly white.
Zi Su came in with tea and was surprised when she saw his appearance. She hurriedly walked to him and squatted down. She raised her head and asked with concern: "Your Highness, what's wrong with you? What happened?"
Lian Jinchen didn’t respond.
After a while, Lian Jinchen seemed to have come to his senses and stretched out his hand.
Zi Su reacted immediately and put a cup of tea in his hand.
Lian Jinchen raised his head and took a sip, and Zisu hurriedly added more for him.
After drinking three glasses in a row, his dry lips seemed to finally have blood. He took the handkerchief from Zisu's hand and wiped his forehead casually. Zisu stood up considerately, holding the handkerchief and looking at it carefully.
I wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"Did you take care of her like this before?" Lian Jinchen suddenly asked.
Zi Su paused with her fingers.
She slowly tightened her fingers holding the veil, bit her lip for a while and then whispered back: "Little... Princess, she has been very independent since she was a child. She doesn't like servants to serve her closely. She... she is impatient to comb her hair.
So what we do most is help her put her hair up and arrange her clothes and jewelry, but she always finds these troublesome."
In fact, she has said these words many, many times.
But in the past, His Highness would only ask her when he drank too much, asking her what Qi Wan usually did, what he liked, and everything about Qi Wan.
But these days, he seems to think of Qi Wan more often.
After finishing speaking, Zisu saw that Lian Jinchen's face had improved a lot, but his expression was a little dazed. She couldn't help but ask, "Did something happen to His Highness today? Do you want the imperial doctor to come over and take a look?"
"No need," Lian Jinchen raised his hand to ask her to step away: "It's nothing, I just feel like my life was saved."
"Oh? Who is he? Do you want to invite someone to come to the house as a guest?" Zi Su suggested.
Lian Jinchen shook his head, remembering the scene in the Garden of Strange Beasts.
At that moment, life and death were right in front of you, and the feeling of being torn apart was also very thrilling.
He was trying to be a hero and wanted to save people, but he didn't want to be the one being saved.
He doesn't like to owe people their lives.
I really don’t like it.
He once owed a life.
He was saved once between life and death.
Later, he was unable to repay, but he lost the lives of others.
He didn't care at first.
Isn’t it just that a person died?
As the prince of Xiliang, he has been on the battlefield, in charge of prisons, and is now responsible for the security of the entire Yujing. He has seen countless lives and deaths under his hands. He just sacrificed one person to fulfill himself. He thought he had given
Enough.
But it turns out that's not the case. He destroyed her and got nothing.
"Your Highness, someone came to Qi Guogong's Mansion today. He said that Miss Qi is very ill and asked you when to come over." Seeing that his expression had almost recovered, Zi Su reminded him in a low voice.
"Let's wait another day." Lian Jinchen replied casually as if he didn't hear what she said, and then said: "It's getting late, let's prepare the meal. I'm a little tired."
"Yes." Zi Su responded and stepped back.
In Qi Guogong's mansion, Qi Mingyue received the news that Lian Jinchen was busy again, and couldn't help but vomited a mouthful of blood.
It scared Mrs. Zheng directly.
He hugged her and cried heartily, "Yue'er, you must not hurt yourself. Are you trying to scare your mother to death? His Highness has been busy these days and he doesn't have time to come. You can also go see him.
, Your Highness has been working hard these past few days. Mom asked someone to prepare some nourishing soup. You can just send it over and go there in the afternoon, okay?"
This is against the rules.
In the past, Mrs. Zheng would never have said such a thing.
But Qi Mingyue was so weak that she could be blown away by a gust of wind from the day she returned home. In order to keep her, she did not hesitate to force Qi Wan to death.
She was stunned to have to pay such a price to keep her.
I don’t want to see her suffer the slightest grievance, so I don’t care about anything.
"No, Mom, I'm fine," Qi Mingyue said weakly: "I just accidentally caught the wind yesterday and am not feeling well. There's nothing else. Don't worry, Mom. I know Brother Chen is busy. I won't go.
Disturb him."
"My poor son——" Mrs. Zheng was so distressed that she couldn't breathe.
"Mother, Ming Yue, what's going on? Is Ming Yue feeling unwell again? Have you called the imperial doctor?"
A gentle male voice came. Mrs. Zheng wiped her tears and looked at her eldest son Qi Rongxuan who walked in.
Qi Mingyue asked with red eyes, "What have you been doing these days, brother? I haven't seen him for several days."
"Ahem," Qi Rongxuan was a little embarrassed and replied in a low voice: "Jin Niang is going to have a mourning period these days, and there are a lot of things at home, so I will go and help. Speaking of this, I still have something to trouble my mother and sister. Jin Niang
The eldest princess of Xiangyang, who has not been socializing in Beijing for a long time, will celebrate her birthday in two days. At that time, she will ask her mother and younger sister to take more care of Jinniang."
Qi Mingyue looked at his blushing face and asked softly, "Is the eldest brother getting married?"
Jinniang is his fiancée Xu Manjin, and they have been engaged since childhood. Xu Manjin was also the daughter of the Hou family, but the Xu family's luck was not good. In the past few years, Xu Hou and the old lady of the Xu family passed away one after another, and the Xu family's heir apparent was demoted due to his young age.
, is now just an Earl's Mansion. Xu Manjin, the former eldest daughter of the Hou Mansion, is now in a very embarrassing position. There is only a sick mother and a younger brother left in the family. If Qi Rongxuan refused to withdraw from the relationship, the Qi family would not be happy.
Marry her and get married.
But Qi Rongxuan insisted that Mrs. Zheng had acquiesced in this matter because Qi Mingyue had not cared about him in recent years.
"I understand. Your sister is not in good health. Just let her rest at home. Since you have identified her, my mother will take care of her." Mrs. Zheng said tiredly.
"Thank you, mother." Qi Rongxuan thanked her hurriedly.
"Brother is so focused on my sister-in-law that he doesn't care about me anymore." Qi Mingyue looked jealous and shook Mrs. Zheng's arm.
Seeing that she looked much better, Mrs. Zheng also laughed: "How dare he! You are the most important thing in our family!"
Qi Rongxuan also smiled apologetically: "What mother said is, Mingyue, even if my eldest brother marries a wife, the person he cares about most is you."
"That's pretty much it. Then I won't be jealous of my sister-in-law. I'll ask someone to prepare a gift for my sister-in-law. Mom, I'll go with you. I'm curious about what kind of beauty my sister-in-law is to make my brother miss me so much. You
Just take me with you!" Qi Mingyue acted coquettishly.
"Okay, okay, then take your medicine and take care of yourself. Mother will take you there." Mrs. Zheng hugged her and coaxed.
"I understand, mother, I'm not a child anymore." Qi Mingyue frowned, but her fingers curled up in her sleeves were clasped together, and her nails dug into her palms.
The eldest princess of Xiangyang is Lian Jinchen’s aunt, so brother Chen will also go, right?
