You are the One and Only - C52
Ling Yexuan would come to the Qinxin every night to take a look, but it was unknown if he was really too busy, or if he did it on purpose. Every time he came, Qin Nuo would fall asleep. Actually, there were times when Qin Nuo wasn’t completely asleep either. He could feel a pair of dry and warm big hands gently sliding across his face, but he could only suppress the palpitations in his heart and pretend that he didn’t know anything.
Naturally, he could only pretend that he did not know! On the second day, Jade Peaches, Ming Liu and Ying He would take turns bombing in front of her. Bi Tao’s attitude was gentle and bitter. Ming Liu was straightforward and talkative, but Ying He was careful to beat around the bush. No matter how she said it, it was just to tell her that the prince cared about her!
“A few days ago, my lord said that you guys have grown up and wanted to send you away, but I still couldn’t bear to. Now it seems that I should really send you off! So, I shall leave Qing Luo to serve her well, and continue to chat non-stop all day, until my ears are going to hear the cocoons! ”
“I’m tired!” Leave behind those who are on guard duty. Everyone else can go rest! ”
“Huh?” Ming Liu was the first to be unable to endure it any longer, and cried out softly. Empress, why are you resting so early? ”
“Cough, cough!” Bi Tao could not help but cough twice. This Ming Liu, he was too impatient!
“What is it? When will I go to bed, with your permission? ” Qin Nuo glanced at Ming Liu and Bi Tao.
Peaches snickered. This tone made her resemble a prince. The Empress was just being stubborn, but she had long since put the prince in her heart!
“No need, no need.” “Ying He quickly followed up and acknowledged Qin Nuo. This servant will attend to the Empress by bathing and changing her clothes. ”
“Even more so!” Ming Liu poked Ying He with her hand and whispered.
Ying He was slightly startled, and a little helpless she pursed her lips. She was too hardworking, couldn’t she bathe and change the Empress later? This way, he could delay the time until the prince arrived.
Qin Nuo rolled her eyes at the girls in her heart, but she still put on a dignified look.
Ying He had no choice but to walk forward and support his mistress as she got up, and went into the inner room. Seeing that the Empress had closed her eyes when she was on the bed, Ying He sighed softly, closed the curtains and turned to leave.
Qin Nuo had been holding back her laughter the entire time, listening to Ying He’s footsteps get further and further away, only then did she open her eyes, covered her mouth with her hands, and almost had a stomachache from laughing.
She wasn’t going to wait for that damned evildoer! He thought that if he didn’t force her to return to the main house, he would be touched by the fact that he had made a small kitchen for the Qinxin and even sent all of his girls over?
After lying in silence for an unknown period of time, hearing the lass’s crisp greetings and hearing the soft footsteps from outside, Qin Nuo quickly closed her eyes and tried her best to calm her breathing.
Ling Yexuan walked over to the bedside, and seeing that Qin Nuo had fallen asleep so early, he could not help but chuckle. For the past two days, perhaps the poison in her body had yet to be cleansed, she had always gone to sleep early, and sometimes she even slept unstably. But last night, she clearly hadn’t slept, but when his hand slid across her face, she didn’t move away, causing his heartbeat to unconsciously speed up!
Honestly speaking, this was the first time in his life that a woman had told him that she just didn’t want to see him! Until now, whenever he thought of what she had said that day, his heart couldn’t help but twitch. He had once thought stubbornly, so what? Even if he didn’t want to see her, as long as he wanted to see her, he would do everything in his power to keep her by his side! However, such a thought was still unable to resist the loss and pain in his heart.
Although he had quickly sent his servants to the Qinxin, he did not dare to face her. He spent the night searching for the person who poisoned him, as well as finding the mastermind behind the scenes. Even though he would only rest late every day, he still couldn’t sleep. Whenever he thought of her, even his fingertips would feel cold!
If it wasn’t for the fact that Ol ‘Eight couldn’t stand to watch any longer and had said so many things to him, he really wouldn’t know how to deal with his broken heart.
Ling Yexuan’s hands unknowingly caressed Qin Nuo’s face. No matter if she was really asleep, or if she was pretending to be asleep, as long as he could see her, and touch her, her heart would be filled with satisfaction. This feeling was extremely wonderful. It was something that had never happened before!
Sighing gently, Ling Yexuan stood up. It seemed like she still didn’t want to face him!
He knew that there were some knots in his heart that would not be easily opened once they were formed. Moreover, since the first day she met him, there had been countless knots between the two of them! He knew that if he lost his patience and acted according to his own will as usual, he would really lose her!
Even if he left her by his side for the rest of his life, his heart wouldn’t be at peace.
He had never been so worried about personal gains and losses, and yet there was nothing he could do about it!
After letting out another long sigh, Ling Yexuan turned around and left. In his heart, he was still somewhat disappointed, but just as he took two steps, he heard a teasing voice.
“He’s already here, but he doesn’t even have the courage to sit down for a while. This doesn’t seem like the way Prince Rui does. “So where did all that power go?”
Ling Yexuan immediately turned around, meeting Qin Nuo’s eyes that carried a smile and ridicule with it, and the corner of her mouth that was raised slightly, that cute and mischievous look, along with a trace of “I just don’t like you” disdain. His heart leaped in her chest, and she instinctively wanted to rush over, but she had only taken a single step when she stopped.
“Aren’t you tired? “Rest early!” He looked at her carefully.
“I’m not really used to you acting like this.” Qin Nuo rolled his eyes at Ling Yexuan. I don’t like submissive men! Besides, which one of your eyes sees me tired? ”
Ling Yexuan’s heartbeat grew even faster, but he couldn’t help but clench his teeth. This woman, he really did not know what ‘gentleness’ was. He was actually unwilling to even say something nice!
“Madam, this servant heard that the Prince was resting in Qinxin last night.” Zhuo Tao spoke while observing her face.
Ever since Empress was sent to the Qinxin, the Prince had always stayed at the main house and never went anywhere. It was no wonder that when the concubine heard that the Empress had been sent away, she did not look happy at all!
Thinking about it, she felt happy when she heard that the wangfei had angered the prince, but she was still too impetuous!
“It’s just a matter of time. No wonder!” Jing Shuyi’s face had a faint sneer on it, but she unconsciously placed her hand on her left wrist.
That day at the tea ceremony, not only did Qin Nuo see through her thoughts, she also pinched her left wrist quietly. Although it did not touch her wound, the woman’s strength was not light either. In a flash, she had no time to injure the place where she was still wrapped, so she had to cut her hand in order to attract his attention.
But, he told her to rest early! Furthermore, apart from the night of their marriage, he had never once asked about her injuries! That wound was only there for him!
Jing Shuyi held her hand tightly. The pain on her wrist made her suck in a breath of cold air and she quickly let go. This kind of pain was enough for once. No matter what, she wouldn’t harm herself again.
Rather than hurting himself, it was better to hurt others!
“Speaking of which, I have yet to take a look at how the Empress has been poisoned!” Jing Shuyi let go of his wrist, as if he had thought of something.
“Madam, Your Highness did not allow anyone to go to the Qinxin because he was afraid of disturbing the Empress’s recovery. “Let’s wait until the Empress is better, or until some madame or young lady has been there. It won’t be too late to go then.” Mo Ju quickly came forward and advised in a low voice.
“Sister Ingee is really careful!”
Zhuo Tao slanted her eyes and glanced at Moyu. She really couldn’t understand why concubine would bring such a good-for-nothing personal girl to accompany him in marriage. The affairs in the Meng Xin Yuan were arranged neatly, but other than the Meng Xin Yuan, she did not seem to be interested in anything else.
“Your Highness did say it a few days ago, but the poisoner at that time had not been found out, and Empress’s body is also not well. Now that he was able to keep the prince here, it was obvious that he had done well. Of the few ladies and ladies that were left behind, which one of them was not an intelligent person? Who would beat his wife to it? Not mentioning that they have gone beyond the rules, they seem to be flattering him! ”
“Sister Zhuo Tao’s words are correct. However, it’s better to wait for the prince to speak. Otherwise, it would seem that we’ve gone against the rules. Moreover, the prince had just rested there, and Madame was rushing over. Mo Jiu looked at Zhuo Tao and said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
This Zhuo Tao had been muttering all day in front of his wife, urging her to go against the Empress. She had followed the lady since she was young. How could she not understand the lady’s heart? Previously, when she came into conflict with the Empress, he had already caught the attention of the Prince, even though the Prince was furious and chased the Empress over. But what now? His Royal Highness was in the midst of his excitement. Anyone who wanted to fight him for his jealousy would only be asking for trouble!
Jing Shuyi played with her fingers as if she did not hear the two girls talking about this. After a long time, she finally smiled.
“Forget it!” If Your Highness has anything to say, go and see it again! Otherwise, it would really make us look petty. ”
Zhuo Tao’s lips moved, she wanted to say something, but after looking at Jing Shuyi’s expression, she swallowed her words in the end.
Jing Shuyi looked at Zhuo Tao silently.
Zhuo Tao had been given to the Duke by the Imperial Concubine. She had thought that the Duke giving Zhuo Tao to her as a gift was exactly what she wanted. But now that she thought about it, it was hard to tell if her actions were intentional or not!
