The little sister is a troublemaker

Chapter 439 Do you want to keep me locked up like this for the rest of my life?

This time, even Li Mulan, who knew the details afterwards, had to admire Xuanyuan Hong's quick response.

I don't know why this vigorous and resolute style of doing things is always suppressed by the princelings. Perhaps it's because the people he wants to support are too slow...

Finally, the Northern Qi Emperor ordered Zhuge Wenqing to return home to reflect, which surprised everyone.

He raised it high and then put it down gently. Everyone knew that the Emperor of Northern Qi did this for the sake of the prince. After all, Zhuge Wenqing was a member of the prince's faction.

Xuanyuan Hongqi clenched his fists tightly, and the joints made a "creaking" sound. Situ Yue wanted to say something, but was stopped by his eyes.

After the court was dismissed, Situ Lian was called to the imperial study by the emperor. Outsiders had no idea what the two talked about, but they only knew that the prince had a very gloomy face when he came out.

Li Mulan and Huo Yuanruo were hiding in a remote palace. The road outside the palace was the only way back to the prince's bedroom in the palace. They only needed to wait here, because the prince of Northern Qi would go back to rest for a while after leaving the court every day.

"Uncle Junior Master, why didn't you tell me earlier that we were going to the palace?"

"What did you say earlier?"

"I'll prepare a bigger bag and go to the imperial kitchen to pack some food to bring back to Xiaoqi and the others. I haven't even eaten the imperial meals in the Northern Qi Palace."

Li Mulan glanced at him, quite speechless. Apart from food, she really couldn't think of anything else.

"The Northern Qi prince must be being scolded by his father. I don't think he can go back for a while. How about you..." Huo Yuanruo looked at Li Mulan with a guilty look, "Is it okay for me to sneak out for a while?"

Seeing that Li Mulan ignored him, he continued, "It's just a short while. I'll be back with something to eat. I won't delay your work."

"Little Master~"

"Shut up." Li Mulan raised her chin. Situ Lian came over with a gloomy face.

Huo Yuanruo didn't know how many times he had cursed this man in his heart. How come he finished cursing so quickly? This Northern Qi emperor was really incompetent.

The two of them immediately followed. In broad daylight, they were probably the only two who could follow someone so blatantly in the imperial palace.

As soon as Situ Lian returned to the bedroom, she dismissed all the servants. Soon, the sound of something breaking could be heard in the hall, and it continued until half an hour later, when the sound stopped.

Situ Lian appeared again, but it was obvious that his mood had eased and he was no longer as gloomy as before.

"Someone is coming."

"Your Highness the Crown Prince." A young eunuch knelt on the ground respectfully.

"Tidy up."

"Yes."

"Also, prepare some light food. Oh, don't put ginger in it. Send it directly to my bedroom."

"Yes."

Li Mulan's eyes flashed slightly in the dark. She was now more certain that Qingyu was in the palace because she didn't eat ginger either.

Situ Lian returned to her bedroom and quickly changed her clothes. Just then her meal arrived.

The maid lowered her head, placed the tray on the table, and left.

It has been like this recently. The prince refuses to be served during meals.

Only after everyone left did Situ Lian close the door of the hall.

He carried the tray to his bedroom. There was a red gem on the armrest beside the bed. When he pressed it, the mechanism was triggered, and a huge hole appeared behind the bed, and there were steps, which looked to be quite deep.

Qingyu had been transferred here for several days. She lay down every day and looked very weak. But she was not as thin as before.

Because Situ Lian used Long Yi as a threat, she would eat all the food Situ Lian sent her every day, and she didn't know how Long Yi was doing now.

"Yu'er, how do you feel today? Does your wound still hurt?"

Qingyu's eyes, which were originally open, closed when she heard someone coming.

Situ Lian's gentle tone always made her feel creepy.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Situ Lian didn't get angry, but quietly placed the tray beside the bed. Looking closely, the furnishings in this room were exactly the same as those in the room outside.

"The medicine I apply to you every day is specially prepared by the imperial physician. Although you can no longer practice martial arts, it will definitely not affect your life, so don't worry. I remember saying before that I don't like you practicing martial arts. Aren't you also very obedient? You never use force in front of me. So, it's good now, isn't it?"

Qingyu's eyelids moved, but she still didn't speak.

Situ Lian pinched her face gently, then skillfully took her hands out of the quilt.

He carefully untied the white cloth on the wound, skillfully cleaned it, applied medicine, bandaged it, and then bandaged the ankle. People who didn't know him would definitely think he was gentle and caring. Who would have thought that all the wounds were caused by this man?

After reapplying the medicine, he kissed Qingyu's cheek again, his eyes full of tenderness, "Okay, little lazy pig, you can't sleep anymore, hurry up and get up to eat. Some things delayed me today, you must be hungry, right?"

Qingyu still frowned and said nothing. Situ Lian's eyes dimmed, "Yu'er, you have to be obedient."

Qingyu felt very bitter, "Situ Lian, why don't you kill me?"

Her voice was unusually hoarse and her tone was full of decadence.

"Why would I kill you? You are my Crown Princess, and you will be the Queen in the future. I love you and cherish you, how could I bear to kill you?"

"Love me? Haha, Situ Lian, look at me, take a good look at me." Qingyu raised her hands with a sad expression, "Is that how much you love me?"

Situ Lian did not look at her hand, but turned his gaze to the tray beside him. He took a bowl of chicken porridge and said, "You used to like this porridge the most. Come and try it and see if it still tastes the same as before."

Whispering turned her head away, "I'm not hungry."

Situ Lian's expression did not change at all. "Even if you are not hungry, you have to eat. If you don't consider your own body, you have to think about others."

Hearing the warning in his tone, Qingyu couldn't help but say, "I'll eat it myself."

Situ Lian did not refuse. She sat aside and watched her eat quietly.

Time seemed to have gone back to many years ago, when they were very much in love. At that time, she had not yet spoken harshly or had no hatred towards him, but was full of love and admiration for him.

Now, how could it become like this? She obviously loves me so much, why can't she be more tolerant of his little flaws? Are the lives of those outsiders more important than her husband?

He really couldn't understand him and always wanted to figure it out.

"Do you want to keep me locked up like this for the rest of my life?"

Qingyu knew that he was staring at her, but she didn't want to look up. She took small bites of her former favorite food, but she couldn't taste it at all. How ridiculous.
