She gently opened the gauze curtain on the bed, and the next moment their eyes met.

Heiying didn't expect Ji Qianxue to be awake, and was panicked for a moment.

"Who are you, um..."

Because she was about to get married, Ji Qianxue had a lot of thoughts in her heart. Although she blew out the candles, she still tossed and turned and didn't fall asleep. Only when she heard the slight sound of the gauze curtain being rubbed did she open her eyes and look over.

The next second, her mouth was tightly covered by a black shadow.

Ji Qianxue's mind exploded with buzzing. She struggled desperately and all kinds of bad thoughts flashed through her mind.

She hit the head of the bed with her hand in an attempt to make a noise, but was soon restrained. The incense spread, and her consciousness gradually fell into unconsciousness, as if she had fallen into a dark abyss.

"Miss, what's the sound?"

Fortunately, the maid who was keeping watch outside heard the noise and knocked gently on the door.

Black Shadow glanced at the unconscious Ji Qianxue unwillingly, frowning.

The maid paused at the door for a while, but didn't hear the answer, but something was wrong with the voice just now, so she knocked on the door again: "Miss, are you okay? But you had a nightmare, are you still feeling uncomfortable? The slave has come in."

Fearing that her young lady would have a fever again, the maid opened the door.

The wind brought up the gauze curtains on the bed and fluttered instantly. The maid came closer with a candlestick and saw that Ji Qianxue was fast asleep. Suspecting that she had heard wrongly, she tucked the loose quilt corners for her and breathed a sigh of relief before turning around.

leave.

On the roof, the figure of the woman in black flashed past and disappeared into the night.

...

"Miss, miss..."

The voice of the personal maid Suqin came from above. In a daze, Ji Qianxue opened her eyes, feeling a little weak all over.

The sunlight outside the window illuminated the room brightly, which was a little dazzling for a while.

Ji Qianxue said softly: "Why am I so weak? What time is it now? Why didn't you call me earlier?"

Suqin smiled and helped her up: "It's almost noon. Miss has been sleeping for so long, so she is naturally tired. Madam has told you earlier that you should sleep more and have a good rest. Speaking of which, you can't stay up late tonight.

Embroidered flowers, look how different her complexion is."

Ji Qianxue touched her cheek nervously: "Really, does your face look bad? I seemed to have had a nightmare last night, so I must not have had a good rest."

Suqin nodded and said with concern: "Last night Xiaozhi was keeping vigil. She said she heard noises in the young lady's room at night. She must have had a nightmare. Today, I will ask the kitchen to make some soothing soup, young lady.

Have a drink tonight."

Ji Qianxue hummed, and hurriedly got out of bed, wearing only her middle coat, and went to the bronze mirror to look at her face carefully.

"Ah, miss, your little day has come." Su Qin suddenly exclaimed.

Ignoring cleaning the bed, she quickly took her clothes and put them on Ji Qianxue's body and warned her carefully: "It's a small day, so be sure not to get cold."

Ji Qianxue couldn't help but laugh: "Su Qin, you are really nagging more and more now, like an old woman."

Su Qin curled her lips and said: "Last time, the young lady disappeared and came back with a fever, which frightened the slave. I only regret that the slave was not with the young lady last time. Now I naturally have to pay more attention to everything."

Ji Qianxue nodded helplessly. Only then did she notice a faint sinking pain in her lower abdomen.

"Miss, are you feeling sick in your stomach?" Suqin quickly noticed Ji Qianxue's discomfort.

While she called the maid to change into a clean bed, she ran to the kitchen to boil some hot water with brown sugar and added red dates, wolfberry and ginger. When she brought it over, the bowl was still steaming.

Ji Qianxue changed her clothes, sat on the couch and took sips with a spoon. She felt her stomach was warm and felt much better.

She took another sip and asked nervously: "Does your face look better now?"

"Oh, my silly lady." Suqin smiled with crooked eyebrows and joked: "Miss, don't worry, she is already beautiful enough. It's all the slave's fault for talking nonsense, and she deserves a beating. What's more, the lady is like this now, she looks just Add to that the fact that she is weak and boneless, if Mr. Gu sees it, I'm afraid he will feel very distressed."

"Okay, Suqin, you're so brave, you dare to make fun of me, Miss!" Ji Qianxue cursed angrily in a low voice, and then she felt relieved.

Shen Qingyun naturally knew about Ji Qianxue and Gu Zhiheng's engagement. Now that he had received the news that the two were getting married in advance, he went to the warehouse and started to choose gifts.

His eyes fell on the box in front of him, and he was about to open it, but was pressed down by the pearl: "Miss, the prince said that this box of rubies was specially selected for the lady and cannot be given away."

Yes, before Si Moli left, he mentioned that he would give rubies to Shen Qingyun from the Dayue Kingdom. When he came back, he actually sent a box of rubies as promised.

There are three layers in the box. In the upper two layers, ten pills are placed on each layer. All of them are large, bright, and pure in color. The bottom layer is filled with small ones, spread evenly, and there are about thirty pills. .

Shen Qingyun couldn't help but laugh: "There are so many in there, it doesn't hurt to pick one."

Pearl's head shook like a rattle. She blinked and said meaningfully: "The prince said that this box of gems will be of great use. You can't pick any of them."

There was nothing he could do to get the pearl. After a few words of banter, Shen Qingyun flicked the pearl on the forehead and had to look at other things.

In the end, she chose a red coral bonsai with copper body and enamel. The base is a lacquered wooden base. The coral branches on it are red and thick, with bright luster. The panoramic view is exquisite and meticulous, using a combination of filigree enamel, painted enamel, engraving and welding. Various skills, wealth and splendor.

The bright red color is a good sign. Shen Qingyun nodded with satisfaction.

She ordered someone to take it off, wipe it again, and wrap it up. She would send someone to deliver it to Ji Qianxue on her wedding day.

Pearl sighed and said: "Miss, isn't this what it says in the painting book, that the man is talented and the woman is beautiful, and lovers will eventually get married. I never expected that in the blink of an eye, Miss Ji would marry her beloved as she wished."

Shen Qingyun was amused: "Looking at you, you seem to have learned a lot of great principles from the drawing book?"

Pearl shook her head and said seriously: "After reading so many painting books, I have some insights."

Immediately, she rolled her eyes and lowered her voice and said, "But Miss, the Sixth Prince will not do anything to prevent Miss Ji and Mr. Gu from getting married."

Looking at her nervous little face, Shen Qingyun patted her little head: "Don't worry, he may not have that energy when the wedding comes."

"Really?" Pearl's eyes widened in surprise: "But what did the prince do? It's great."

Shen Qingyun was a little helpless. This girl had simple ideas, but she often guessed the truth by mistake.

Indeed, Si Mingxuan was already very worried.
