Chapter 36

After Yuan Qingling helped him hang the needle, she went back to wipe herself and change her clothes. When she came over, she saw Chu Mingcui entering the courtyard with her maid.

She is wearing a violet-colored satin skirt with embroidered cloud patterns. The wide sleeves are rolled with green edges, and the waist is tied with a palace ribbon of the same color. Her waist is full and charming.

She wears a fairy bun, a gold and jade phoenix tail hairpin, and small gold hollow lantern earrings hanging on her white earlobes. When she moves, the earrings hit her skin, making a clear sound like broken jade.

When King Qi saw her coming, he smiled tenderly. He stepped forward and took her hand, "Are you tired from riding in the carriage?"

Chu Mingcui responded with a gentle look and said softly: "I'm not tired."

The two of them intertwined their fingers and climbed up the stone steps together.

Yuan Qingling stood at the door, looking at Chu Mingcui indifferently.

Chu Mingcui withdrew the hand that was held by King Qi without leaving a trace, and faced Yuan Qing Lingfu. "Hello, Princess Chu."

"Yeah!" Yuan Qingling responded.

King Qi was furious. According to etiquette, she should say "Hello, Princess Qi" instead of "Hmm".

Um, what? The shelves are still on?

Chu Mingcui reached out and pressed the back of his hand. She smiled at him and shook her head, indicating that she didn't need to be acquainted with her.

King Qi saw that Chu Mingcui was so sensible. He couldn't help but pity the fifth brother for marrying such a woman as his princess. What an injustice.

"Let's go in!" King Qi wanted to grab Chu Mingcui's hand again, but Chu Mingcui had already stepped in first.

Yuan Qingling did not follow him in, but leaned against the door and watched and listened quietly.

Chu Mingcui walked to the bedside and raised her worried and anxious eyes, "How is the prince?"

Her eyes were fixed on the wound on his brow bone, and she was shocked.

Even so, he was still so handsome that her heart beat wildly.

Why doesn't this man live up to his expectations? If he could become the prince, why would she do this?

My heart suddenly felt sad, and looking at his eyes, I couldn't help but feel a little sad.

Yu Wenhao seemed very calm, and even smiled lightly, "It's okay. Thank you, Princess Qi, for visiting me."

"You and I are like brothers and sisters, so there is no need to say thank you." Chu Mingcui sighed softly, her beautiful face was covered with delicate and watertight makeup, but there was only a layer of sadness.

King Qi stood behind her and naturally did not see her expression.

Yu Wenhao did not comment on her words, but the smile on his lips froze.

"Who is so cruel?" Chu Mingcui asked.

King Qi said coldly: "If I know who it is, I will definitely chop him into pieces."

Chu Mingcui looked back at him, with some helplessness in her eyes, and then turned to look at Yu Wenhao, "The prince must have an idea in his mind, who is it? Why did he commit such a heavy murderer?"

Yu Wenhao's eyes looked tired, "I don't know."

Chu Mingcui was a little confused, "Even the prince doesn't know? Has the Jingzhao Mansion investigated it?"

"No one has come to report yet." King Qi said.

Chu Mingcui said oh and stood there not knowing what to say.

On the other hand, Yu Wenhao slowly closed his eyes, as if he was very sleepy.

Upon seeing this, King Qi said: "Cui'er, please go back first. It's time for fifth brother to rest."

Chu Mingcui took a deep breath, looked at Yu Wenhao and said, "If the prince knows who the murderer is, he might as well tell him."

Yu Wenhao remained silent, as if he had fallen asleep.

King Qi glanced at Chu Mingcui. Why did she seem to be very concerned about the murderer? Instead, she didn't ask about the fifth brother's injury.

"Let's go!" He held Chu Mingcui's hand and said.

Seeing that Yu Wenhao seemed to be asleep, Chu Mingcui had no choice but to go out with King Qi.

At the door, Chu Mingcui stood still and looked at Yuan Qingling, "Take good care of the prince and don't make him unhappy."

Yuan Qingling said calmly: "Princess Qi is troubled."

King Qi was angry and was afraid that she would say ugly words again. He pulled Chu Mingcui and said, "Let's go and leave her alone. Isn't it because the emperor's grandfather asked her to come back to take care of the fifth brother? Let's see what she can do."

Chu Mingcui's eyes were startled, but he was already pulled out by King Qi.

Yuan Qingling looked at the direction they were leaving and heard Chu Mingcui ask King Qi, "Did the emperor's grandfather ask her to come back to take care of the fifth brother?"

But King Qi asked: "Why do you always ask about the murderer?"

Chu Mingcui sighed softly, "I am thinking about you. If someone wants to kill King Chu, it is inevitable that someone will want to attack you. I am worried about you, but you don't understand."

Yuan Qingling closed the door, blocking out the conversation between Prince Qi and his wife.
