Chapter 19 - Qinhuai Region
Even if he saw that she was suffering now, no matter how doubtful he was, he would wait until she was safe before deciding. Perhaps when she woke up and became that silly girl from half a month ago, he wouldn't have any worries …
However, when she thought back to how she had shrewdly chatted with him yesterday, discussing the conditions, she felt reluctant to part with him.
Just like that, he stood by her for the entire night.
During this period, Qiu mama came three more times and fed the medicine to Zhuo Qingyan.
The first two times she still couldn't feed it, and it was still with Chu Yi Chen's help. But after the third feeding, it went much smoother.
At daybreak, when Chu Yi Chen extended her hand towards her forehead, her fever had already subsided, allowing him to breathe a sigh of relief.
After another hour, he heard a sound from the bed and immediately went over. He saw her eyes moving wildly under her eyelids, and at the same time, she was humming, "Pain …" Pain... "It's itchy..."
"Don't move, your lordship will call Doctor Ye right away. Endure it …" After Chu Yi Chen finished speaking, he immediately called for people to go get Ye Jingxuan.
But right after she left, Zhuo Qingyan opened her eyes and stared blankly for a while before opening her mouth. "There's water …" "Really …"
Her voice was so hoarse that even she was afraid of hearing it.
Immediately, a cup of water was passed to her, and at the same time, her body was helped up. As soon as the cup came over, she greedily drank it. Because of her anxiousness, she even choked and coughed for a long time.
After drinking the wine, Chu Yi Chen gently asked, "Do you still want more?"
"Mm …" Zhuo Qingyan answered lightly.
Not long after, another cup was handed over. This time, she didn't drink it fast. After drinking it, she let out a sigh of relief. "Thank you …"
"Better?" Chu Yi Chen lightly let her lie down again, and looked at her pale little face through the mask.
Zhuo Qingyan weakly closed her eyes and nodded: "It's alright now … "He won't die anymore …"
"Of course not!" Chu Yi Chen said.
"Your Highness …" Can I ask you another favor? " Zhuo Qingyan asked weakly.
"Speak!"
"Don't feed me that medicine again, I don't want to be a fool anymore. There are some things I haven't done yet, and once I'm done, I'll disappear. If you're afraid of danger, you can kill me." "Good …" After Zhuo Qingyan finished speaking, she panted heavily, feeling very tired.
Chu Yi Chen was startled, and didn't say anything, but stared at her.
When she opened her eyes to look at him again, Zhuo Qingyan's lips twitched as if she was smiling, "I heard your conversation yesterday …"
"Did you hear that?" Chu Yi Chen was surprised.
"Yes, I heard it …" So it turns out that all of you were my mother's friends before she died. So it turns out that all of you were like this because you wanted me to live … My mother has friends like all of you, so she should have no regrets in this life. In any case, if it was me, it would definitely be … " Zhuo Qingyan had her eyes closed.
"That's a way out. If you can guarantee... "You can't guarantee it …" Chu Yi Chen shook his head.
"If I really can't control myself, I'd rather die than become a fool again. I don't want to become another person's weak spot …" Zhuo Qingyan said.
"Weak weakness?" What did you think of? " Chu Yi Chen was shocked again.
"Behind Zhuo Baiyuan, there is still another person. He is someone that has only heard the voice, and has never seen his face before … Moreover, it was a woman … "A woman who used me to threaten my mother …" Zhuo Qingyan panted again.
Chu Yi Chen tightly clenched his fists, his gaze cold. "Who could it be?"
Without waiting for Zhuo Qingyan to reply, Ye Jingxuan rushed in, pushed Chu Yi Chen away. He sat in front of the bed and held her wrist, his eyes moving back and forth like a pendulum, and faster and faster.
"Little girl, tell me, is it really done?" Ye Jingxuan couldn't believe it.
Zhuo Qingyan grinned again: "Thank you Martial Uncle for your medical skills, and for saving Little Four …"
Ye Jingxuan was immediately stunned and stared at her in shock.
"At that time, my hair was muddled, my eyelids were heavy, I could hear all the sounds coming from the outside world, but I could not wake up. Furthermore, a lot of information was flowing out of my brain, didn't Little Four want to eavesdrop on your conversation …" Zhuo Qingyan said.
"Alright, alright, it's fine. I didn't want to hide this from you at first, but after a few days, when you've gotten used to life in the Prince's Mansion, I'll tell you then. Now that you know the truth, there's no harm in it …" "As long as you are safe …" Ye Jingxuan immediately comforted her.
"I really thought of many things regarding this illness, but they were all fragments and I couldn't connect them all …" Zhuo Qingyan shook her head.
"Alright, I won't think about it anymore. Good child, be good and take good care of yourself. Senior uncle has already concocted the antidote to cure the poison in your body. You'll be fine after you soak in the medicinal bath …" Ye Jingxuan said softly.
"Alright, thank you Martial Uncle!" Zhuo Qingyan pursed her lips again.
Ye Jingxuan was so happy that he immediately had Ruo Xue take him to prepare a bath.
Zhuo Qingyan looked at Chu Yi Chen who was still standing in front of the bed and smiled bitterly: "My prince, can you sit for a little longer? Little Four wishes to speak with Your Highness … "
Chu Yi Chen didn't say anything, but still sat down.
"Little Four is still the original Little Four, but there are some things that only after I woke up, I finally understand. My mother really taught Little Four many things, and because she was foolish, she didn't really know how to use it. For example, literacy, martial arts practice …" Zhuo Qingyan heaved a long sigh.
Seeing her like this, Chu Yi Chen said: "We'll talk about it later."
"Let's talk about it now. Initially, the prince only came to our rescue because of a promise. However, if there is doubt between us, then there will be suspicion. This isn't a good thing for either of us …" Zhuo Qingyan suddenly reached out her hand to hold down Chu Yi Chen, who was about to stand up, and looked at him with an incomparably resolute gaze.
"Good!" "Go ahead." Chu Yi Chen nodded.
"Thinking about Zhuo Qingfan, after Second Aunt passed away, Zhuo Baiyuan was afraid that the people of the Wang family would blame him, so he refused to let second brother go back to his ancestor home …" Zhuo Qingyan swallowed and said.
"But second brother's martial arts are not weak, and he even got the first place in the Martial Arts Competition. Why is this? Who is second brother's teacher?" Your highness must have guessed it right? "
Chu Yi Chen turned around and picked up a kettle, then poured a cup of warm water. He held her up and gave her some to drink before saying, "This I knew, and was very surprised at the time. I didn't expect … "Your mother is a peerless expert …"
"What's the use? "Didn't he die from poison …" Zhuo Qingyan closed her eyes.
"You know?" Chu Yi Chen asked.
Zhuo Qingyan nodded her head, "At that time, I was also knocked unconscious, but when I woke up, my mother tapped me once. Thus, I could only close my eyes and hear everything … That person threatened me with my life and death, causing my mother to drink that bowl of poison … "To put it bluntly, I am the one who killed my mother …"
"What does it have to do with you!" Chu Yi Chen frowned.
"No? If it weren't for me, she wouldn't need to drink it, but in order to save my life … Right, what kind of place is Qin Huai's land? " Zhuo Qingyan looked at him eagerly.
"Land of Qin Huai?" Chu Yi Chen's mind immediately lit up. So it was like this …
