Chapter 221 "Qing Huan, I'm back."
Xie Qinghuan calmed the old general's emotions.
I fed him some porridge and gave him some medicine.
I watched him fall asleep before leaving the general's mansion.
It was very low-key all the way.
The engagement day is getting closer.
While Xie Qinghuan was looking forward to meeting Chu Hanxiao, he felt increasingly uneasy.
Yu Yuan noticed something.
Asking despite knowing the answer:
"What are you worried about, young lady?"
Xie Qinghuan lowered his eyes.
She was worried about too much...
I didn't know how to start.
Just shook his head silently.
"Then... let me guess, Miss is worried about the old general's condition?"
"My grandfather's illness...is a mental illness. Mental illness is the most difficult to cure. No medicine can help..."
Yu Yuan looked at her gloomily and touched her hair.
"Don't think too much about it. Since you said it's a mental illness, when the predicament is resolved in the future, the old general's illness will naturally be cured."
"hope so……"
Xie Qinghuan sighed softly.
"I don't know what's going on with Chu Hanxiao..."
Yu Yuan calculated the time.
"The engagement ceremony is just a few days away. I'm sure... His Highness the Third Prince and his men are already preparing to return to the capital."
"Um……"
Xie Qinghuan nodded vigorously.
"I must cheer up and welcome them back to Beijing in the best possible condition!"
"it is good."
The two returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Xie Qinghuan tossed and turned and fell asleep.
The next day, Yu Yuan brought news again:
"According to Qianyin Pavilion...your two cousins have parted ways!"
"Huh? What's going on?"
Yu Yuan thought for a moment and told the truth.
"It seems that the pregnant one is determined to give birth...
The other one didn't want to live in hiding with her, so he stayed in the town where they were staying.
The pregnant woman set off alone to Yangzhou..."
Xie Qinghuan was choosing hairpins and rings.
"Whatever they do, it's none of our business."
"Well, but there is one more thing...Miss will definitely be interested!"
Xie Qinghuan looked at him through the bronze mirror.
"what's up?"
Yu Yuan laughed softly, leaned over and whispered in her ear:
"Qianyin Pavilion sent a message, the Third Prince and the building owner will arrive in Beijing tonight..."
"Really?"
Xie Qinghuan jumped up with excitement, his eyes full of stars.
"Yes! It's absolutely true."
Yu Yuan is also looking forward to it.
He hasn't seen the OP for many days!
He was thinking about it, but he didn't know that the heartless...
Do you miss him?
The two of them were restless all day.
I looked at the time anxiously.
Finally, I made it until nightfall.
But there is still no news.
Xie Qinghuan was so anxious that he would ask from time to time:
"Where are they? Have they entered Beijing?"
Yu Yuan is also anxious!
But Qianyin Pavilion only had one sentence:
"The Pavilion Master and His Highness the Third Prince were delayed on the way, and it is not yet confirmed when they will arrive in Beijing."
He could only wait anxiously.
I wanted to go and pick her up, but I didn't feel comfortable leaving Xie Qinghuan alone...
Seeing that she was uneasy, he comforted her:
"It's already this hour and it's not time yet. I guess we'll have to wait until tomorrow... Should we rest first?"
Xie Qinghuan clutched the hairpin that Chu Hanxiao gave him.
I can't help but think wildly.
"Are they in any danger?"
"No! No one in the court knows that the Third Prince has returned to the capital in secret."
Seeing Yu Yuan say this, Xie Qinghuan breathed a sigh of relief.
He pushed me onto the bed, but I still couldn't fall asleep, tossing and turning...
Until the moon reaches the zenith.
She heard her window...open.
Xie Qinghuan held his breath immediately.
I didn't dare to turn around or breathe.
Listening to the slightest sound with ears pricked up.
I heard a familiar breathing stop at the bedside...
She clenched the hairpin even tighter in her hand.
Face inwards.
My heart is beating wildly...
Time seemed to stand still at this moment.
Chu Hanxiao, who was dressed in dust, just looked at her back quietly.
His eyes were complicated and greedy.
I don’t know what I’m thinking about…
Xie Qinghuan never turned around.
She is waiting.
Wait for him to speak and tell her——
All this is not a dream!
But the short silence seemed so long...
It was so long that she could no longer bear it and turned back...
She finally heard the words...
"Qing Huan, I'm back."
His voice was soft and hoarse.
Choking and sour.
Just a simple sentence, but filled with the pain of missing someone after being apart for so many days.
His throat was also slightly hot.
Hear His Voice...
Xie Qinghuan could no longer control himself and started sobbing.
The shoulders shook.
Tears are falling down...
All the emotions that had been building up since we separated came pouring out.
Worry, longing, grievance...
The strength that I had been pretending to be collapsed in an instant the moment I saw him.
Chu Hanxiao took off the black cloak covered with frost and dust with one hand.
One knee on the couch.
He held her gently in his arms.
Holding her palm-sized face, he wiped away her tears with his fingers.
"Qing Huan, I made you worry. It's all my fault... I'm back. Everything is fine. Don't cry anymore..."
Xie Qinghuan rested her head on his arm, holding tightly in her hand the silver hairpin he had given her.
Thinking of all the bullying he had suffered at the hands of Chu Yingji, he felt so aggrieved that he could not help himself.
Instead, she cried even harder than before.
Chu Hanxiao patted her on the back, coaxing and persuading her.
"It's my fault. Qinghuan has been wronged..."
He lowered his head and kissed her forehead gently.
Then he slowly moved down and kissed away the tears on her face.
I saw that she calmed down slightly.
Just raised my head.
"Don't cry, it's all my fault. I made Qinghuan so worried... I really deserve to be beaten!"
He took the hairpin from her hand, grabbed her little hand, and pressed it on his strong chest muscles.
"Otherwise... Miss, hit me to vent your anger!"
Xie Qinghuan sobbed.
She hummed softly.
"Who wants to hit you..."
"If you don't want to be beaten, you are not allowed to cry... otherwise, your eyes will be swollen tomorrow!"
Xie Qinghuan nestled in his arms.
With his head lowered, he sobbed.
By his strength.
Touching his hard pectoral muscles.
"How is your injury?"
Chu Hanxiao helped her wipe her tears.
Chuckling:
"Okay! Otherwise, Miss, check it yourself?"
He was slapped hard by Xie Qinghuan.
"Why are you so smooth-talking today?"
Chu Hanxiao held her tightly in his arms.
"I'm so happy! I finally get to see you, Qinghuan... I'm so happy!"
Xie Qinghuan was also happy.
She felt even happier knowing that he missed her too.
His eyes were still wet, but he laughed out loud.
"What are you so happy about? It's so late, and you still come to my place...
You've been traveling for such a long time, why don't you take a good rest?"
Chu Hanxiao hugged her tightly against his chest.
Pressing the back of her head, he rubbed her hair with his jaw.
"I miss you and want to see you right away. There's no time to lose!"
Suddenly he let go of her head.
He frowned and looked down at her:
"What? You don't miss me?"
Xie Qinghuan deliberately angered him and turned his head away.
"In no mood!"
Chu Hanxiao burst out laughing.
Pinching her little nose, he forced her to turn her head and look at him.
"I don't want to... Then why aren't you sleeping yet? Aren't you waiting for me?"
