Chapter 133 Weird
The old man went to fetch some water and was about to take Xiao Chenyang's pulse again, but he dodged him: "Who are you? Don't touch me. Only Qiao'er can touch me."
As he spoke, Xiao Chenyang looked at Xuanyuan Qiaoer, "Qiaoer?" Xiao Chenyang's voice was very weak, and he immediately started coughing after he said that.
Shen Wanqing watched from the side and felt something was strange.
There seems to be something wrong with Master Xiao...
It was not until she saw Young Master Xiao leaning his head on Xuanyuan Qiaoer's shoulder and Xuanyuan Qiaoer coaxing him softly that the strange feeling in her heart became stronger.
Sure enough, in the next few days, Xiao Chenyang couldn't leave Xuanyuan Qiaoer at all. He felt uncomfortable and anxious when he didn't see her for a while. He would follow Xuanyuan Qiaoer wherever she went, and would never go west if she told him to go east.
Shen Wanqing found Princess Suyun and said, "Princess, please explain."
Princess Suyun smiled bitterly and said helplessly, "I don't know why, but people who wake up from poisoning only feel a liking for those who bleed. This is the first time I've seen such a situation."
According to Princess Suyun, she just hoped that Master Xiao would stop resisting her, but now seeing Xiao Chenxuanyuan Qiaoer's appearance was beyond her expectations, and she felt more and more regretful.
The old man studied it for a while and thought that it might be because Xiao Chenyang was already deeply in love with Xuanyuan Qiaoer, and now he has become more dependent on her after being poisoned. He jokingly said: "I will try to prepare some medicine for Master Xiao, but if it can't improve the situation, I don't think it's a big deal."
Shen Wanqing sighed lightly. No matter what, it was always better to save her life first.
Princess Suyun was then sent back to the palace by Du Zhijie. Shen Wanxiu then arranged for several nannies to take care of her. Ostensibly, they were there to teach her the etiquette of her future marriage, but in fact, they were also keeping Princess Suyun under guard.
The Second Prince summoned Du Zhijie to the Qianqing Palace and asked, "Zhijie, how is Young Master Xiao doing now? Is he alright?"
Du Zhijie frowned, not knowing how to describe it, and could only describe in detail what had happened in the past few days.
The Second Prince snorted coldly, "The Zi Luo Kingdom has evil ambitions. Although they have signed a peace treaty this time, there's no guarantee they'll do something harmful to our dynasty someday."
He paused, then smiled at Du Zhijie, "You did very well this time, and I'm very pleased. But Zhijie, if Young Master Xiao is with Xuanyuan Qiao'er, and you want to marry the girl from the Shen family, I'm afraid some people in this palace won't agree. Have you made any arrangements? You know, my thoughts haven't changed. When you've thought it through, make a decision as soon as possible."
Du Zhijie's expression was indifferent, he just nodded.
At this moment, a eunuch's shrill voice came from outside the palace, announcing: "The Second Prince's wife requests an audience."
"Since the Second Prince's wife is here, I will withdraw first." Du Zhijie bowed and then left the Qianqing Palace.
The second prince sighed and continued to read the memorial.
The chief eunuch beside him whispered, "The Second Prince's wife is still waiting outside. Should she be summoned in?"
"Let her in." The second prince rubbed his eyebrows. Seeing this, the eunuch chief hurried out to invite Shen Wanxiu in.
She took the ginseng soup from her hand and placed it on the second prince's desk.
Seeing that the Second Prince looked exhausted, he stepped forward and gently pressed his temples.
"This is the ginseng soup I made this morning. Please drink it quickly. It is for nourishing your body. You must have been exhausted recently."
"I am so lucky to have you by my side." Yuwen Yi picked up the white jade soup bowl and drank it in big gulps, with a happy smile on his face.
But on her way back, she happened to meet several palace maids holding new clothes, which they were going to give to Princess Suyun.
Shen Wanxiu's thoughts turned: "Let's go, I will go with you to see if the princess can adapt."
"Yes, the Second Prince's Consort." The palace maid saluted and responded, walking in front to lead the way for Shen Wanxiu.
Princess Suyun lived alone in a palace. When she saw Shen Wanxiu coming, she hurriedly stood up and saluted.
Shen Wanxiu had someone help her up. She looked at her for a long moment before she smiled and said, "Princess, you are truly beautiful. The more I see you, the more I like you. If you find anything difficult to get used to living here, please feel free to send someone to tell me."
"Thank you for your concern, Second Prince's wife. Everything is arranged very well here." Princess Suyun responded with a smile, but she became wary in her heart. The Second Prince's wife had not been so enthusiastic towards her before.
"Princess, please don't be so formal." Shen Wanxiu said, and pulled her up affectionately and walked into the inner room.
The two talked for a long time before Shen Wanxiu left Princess Suyun with a smile on her face.
......
Du Zhijie had already returned to the general's mansion, but he didn't expect the housekeeper to tell him that the ninth prince was already waiting inside.
Seeing him come back, the Ninth Prince seemed to have seen a savior and said hurriedly: "General Du, can you help me? I don't want to marry that princess."
Du Zhijie said coldly, "The imperial decree has been issued. Do you think you can disobey it?"
The Ninth Prince was not frightened by his cold face. Instead, he said with a smile, "That's why I came to see you, General. I know you will have a solution."
His mother was just a little palace maid, and it was an accident that she became pregnant with him. Because she was inconspicuous in her daily life, she gave birth to him in secret, but she injured her body and could no longer get pregnant.
He had a difficult childhood. The palace maids and eunuchs would bully him, especially one maid who liked to poke his waist with a hairpin. However, Du Zhijie happened to see it and punished those people on the spot, executed the maid, and taught him to learn how to resist.
At that time, the little boy understood that the general was not as cold and scary as he appeared.
Everyone in the palace is a shrewd person. With Du Zhijie's attitude, although he and his mother are still not welcome, at least their food and clothing are not deducted as much.
Later, he began to approach Du Zhijie intentionally or unintentionally, and talked to him boldly, and the two gradually became familiar with each other.
Looking at the innocent and coquettish smile of the Ninth Prince, Du Zhijie sighed slightly in his heart. The matter was urgent. When he told the Second Prince Yuwen Yi that he needed to leave Princess Suyun behind, he did not expect that the Second Prince would choose to abandon the Ninth Prince directly.
The Ninth Prince's only wish is to be a leisurely prince in his fiefdom in the future, but if he marries Princess Suyun, he will probably not have peace.
"You just have to be patient for a few days. If you don't want to marry her, just tell the truth when the nanny examines her in a few days." Xiao Chenyang has not fully recovered yet. If Xiao Chenyang is fine, Princess Suyun will be of no use.
According to Zhao Yurou, when she went to the post station and opened the door that morning, she saw Fan Yunfei, Princess Suyun and her maid cuddling in bed, which made her even more unacceptable and she started fighting with them.
