Chapter 171 Withered Rose
Chapter 171 Withered Rose
The group returned to the capital
Ye Qingge thought Xiao Lingche would take her back to the Ye Mansion, but unexpectedly the carriage did not go in the direction of the Ye Mansion.
Where is Xiao Lingche taking her?
Until the carriage stopped at the gate of Prince Xuan's Mansion, Ye Qingge couldn't help asking him
"Why did the prince bring me to the palace?"
"Are you sure you want to go back like this? Come to the palace first and change into clean clothes before going back."
Ye Qingge looked at herself. Her clothes were wrinkled and her hair was messy. She really couldn't go back like this, lest her grandmother and father worry.
Xiao Lingche helped her out of the carriage, then carried her into the palace.
Shen Qingqing behind her was still thinking about waiting for Brother Che to help her get off the carriage, but when she saw him carrying Ye Qingge in, she stamped her feet in anger, but still followed him in.
Qingshi wanted to stop her
"Princess, you should go back."
But Shen Qingqing ignored him, she dodged the bluestone and ran in from the side.
Qingshi was helpless. After all, she was a princess, and he didn't dare to use force, otherwise he would have thrown her out long ago.
Nanny Wang and Xiaolan were shocked to see Ye Qingge's frail appearance. They ran forward and asked with concern:
"Sister, what's wrong with you?"
"Your Majesty, what happened to Qingge?"
“She was a little hurt.”
Xiao Lingche frowned, glanced at Ye Qingge and continued
"Madame Li, Madame Zhang!"
Two maids came over after hearing the noise
"I am here, what are your instructions, my Lord?"
"Go and help Qingge check if she has any injuries."
"Yes, Your Majesty"
The two maids helped Ye Qingge away. Ye Qingge didn't understand why, but Nanny Wang saw the prince's intention.
"Your Majesty, please let me go."
"No need, Nanny Wang, please prepare some clean clothes for Qingge."
"Yes, I'll take my leave."
Nanny Wang pulled Xiaolan away
"Mammy, is my sister hurt? I want to go see her."
Nanny Wang held Xiaolan and shook her head at her
“I can’t go now.”
"why?"
Xiaolan didn't know why Nanny Wang stopped her from visiting her sister. She was pulled away by Nanny Wang.
"Xiaolan, go prepare clothes for Qingge first, I'll go see Qingge"
"Yes, Mammy."
Xiaolan was a little confused, but she still went to prepare clothes.
Xiao Lingche sat in the lobby with a heavy face. Shen Qingqing sat beside him, looking at him without daring to say a word.
After a while, Nanny Li came in. She walked to Xiao Lingche and said in a low voice:
"Your Majesty, Miss Ye has no injuries on her body, and she is still a virgin."
After hearing this, Xiao Lingche's brows relaxed instantly. He looked at Li Ma excitedly and asked
"really?"
"Um"
Nanny Li nodded, absolutely right
Xiao Lingche happily stood up and went to see Ye Qingge. He knew that he had misunderstood her and he couldn't wait to see her.
Although Shen Qingqing was sitting far away, she also heard what Li Ma said. Then she looked at Brother Che's happy face and was stunned.
How is it possible? She was clearly poisoned yesterday, and in the wilderness, there was no antidote. If she hadn't had a man, she would have died. Now she is safe and sound, and she is still innocent.
Who was the person who saved her? Shen Qingqing felt that Ye Qingge must have hidden some important secret.
-
Nanny Wang took some clothes for Ye Qingge to change into. Ye Qingge was lifeless at this moment, like a puppet.
Nanny Wang saw this and felt very upset. She didn't know why the prince did this. Could it be that something had happened to Qingge?
But no matter how she asked, Qingge didn't say anything, which made her feel distressed.
The prince's actions really hurt Qingge's heart, but as a servant, she could only obey the prince's orders.
She sighed as she dressed Qingge and combed her hair.
Ye Qingge waved her hand, signaling her to leave
Nanny Wang put down the comb, shook her head helplessly, and left.
She closed the door and turned around to see Xiao Lingche running towards her.
"Mammy, where is Qingge?"
"Your Majesty, Qingge is inside."
Seeing that Nanny's face looked strange, Xiao Lingche asked
"What happened to Qingge?"
"Your Majesty, please go in and see for yourself."
Xiao Lingche pushed the door open and walked in. The sun had already set and the light in the house was dim.
He glanced around and finally saw a small figure lying on the dressing table.
At this moment, Ye Qingge had her back to her. He wanted to call her out, but the scene before him made him feel strange.
She was wearing a plain white dress, with long black hair spread out in a mass. On her head was a hairpin he had given her. He remembered that this hairpin was called Eternity.
This plain appearance from head to toe made him panic. He walked forward gently and squatted beside Ye Qingge.
He held her shoulders
"Qingge, I'm sorry. I misunderstood you. Why didn't you tell me earlier? You don't know how much pain I felt just now."
Although Ye Qingge opened her eyes, she did not answer him.
His heart tightened, and he quickly straightened her body.
"Qingge, are you okay? Say something and don't scare me."
Ye Qingge's eyes were empty and lifeless, and she looked like a withered rose.
Xiao Lingche looked at her, and it felt like a piece of his heart was missing. He felt that he was about to lose her. He had never seen her like this before, and it scared him so much that he hugged her.
"Qingge, I was wrong. Can you please say something?"
"Your Majesty, are you satisfied?"
A calm voice came from his ears, and Xiao Lingche let her go.
"Qingge, I will let you beat and scold me, but you must not do this..."
Xiao Lingche regretted it. He should have asked Qingge, but he really cared about her too much, which made him make the wrong decision.
"My Lord, I want to go back."
"Okay, I'll give it to you..."
"Let my brother pick me up"
Ye Qingge interrupted him. Xiao Lingche didn't want to make her angry anymore, so he ordered his servants to inform Ye Shaobai to come to the palace.
"Your Majesty, please go out. I want to be alone for a while."
Ye Qingge lay down on the table again after she finished speaking. She closed her eyes, as if she wanted to make a break with the world.
Xiao Lingche couldn't bear it, but he still retreated silently.
When Xiao Lingche ran over, Shen Qingqing followed him. She secretly stood by the window, but she didn't expect to be caught by Nanny Wang.
"Princess, are you okay?"
"Oh, it's okay, I'm just strolling around."
"Then please go back, my princess. The prince doesn't like to be disturbed."
Shen Qingqing left because she was Brother Che's nanny. It was a pity. She felt like she had missed a good show.
When Ye Shaobai arrived, he saw his sister lying there alone. She looked so pitiful. What had happened?
Where did his lively and lovely sister go?
Xiao Lingche must have done something unforgivable, otherwise my sister wouldn't be like this.
He picked up Ye Qingge and walked out. When he passed Xiao Lingche, he glared at him, humphed, and then walked away without looking back.
Xiao Lingche didn't care about Ye Shaobai's attitude, he only cared about Qingge, but she buried her face in Ye Shaobai's arms and didn't even look at him.
After leaving the palace, Ye Qingge couldn't help crying in her brother's arms.
