As Xie Xun watched, the servants moved things much faster.
After a while, all Qin Fang's good things were moved to the east courtyard.
After another chaotic cleaning, Qin Fanghao and Xie Xun finally sat down after clearing the bedroom space in the east courtyard.
Xie Xun now understands his thoughts. He came today to make it clear to Qin Fang.
But before Xie Xun could speak, Qin Fanghao spoke first.
"I know what the prince wants to say to me, and I can see it today."
Qin Fanghao let out a long sigh: "Your Majesty must already have the same feelings as my sister. You must have drawn a clear line with me by coming today."
I don't know if it was because the life in the nunnery was too poor, but Xie Xun looked at Qin Fanghao, and her whole body exuded a weak air.
She obviously has a big belly and looks like the child is growing very well, but when she looks closely, she realizes that she is so skinny that she is already skinny and bones.
So when Xie Xun spoke again, his tone was much softer, "As long as you understand."
"I understand what the prince means," Qin Fang took a deep breath and tried his best to put on a smile that was uglier than crying, "I only have one thing I want to ask for, the prince."
"I beg you, Your Majesty, for the sake of my assisting you in the battle at the border and saving so many people at the border, please promise me something."
Xie Xun's heart sank.
This matter is a favor between him and Qin Fanghao that can never be untied.
"Say it. As long as it does not violate the king's principles of dealing with things, I will definitely agree to you."
"My lord, you should know how much I am looking forward to this child in my belly, and you should also know. A woman's childbirth is a journey through hell."
"I don't ask for anything else. I don't ask for the prince's love, nor do I ask for any status in the palace in the future. I don't care about these anymore. I just ask that the prince allows me to stay in the palace until I give birth safely. During this period,
Please spend more time with me and our children."
Qin Fanghao has already talked to this point, how can Xie Xun refuse.
In fact, what he was thinking about was to wait for Qin Fang to give birth to the child first, and then arrange a place for her to go.
In short, he has now understood his own intentions, and it is absolutely impossible for him to continue to keep Qin Fanghao in the palace.
But he couldn't be so cruel as to drive Qin Fanghao out who was still pregnant with the child, so he could only place her in the palace first.
Now that Qin Fang had confessed to him, he breathed a sigh of relief.
It would be great if Qin Fang could figure it out.
Seeing that Xie Xun agreed to her proposal, Qin Fanghao asked hesitantly, "Will the prince stay in the east courtyard tonight?"
Xie Xun paused and said, "Just stay."
…
In the main courtyard.
Qin Rushuang was still wearing the clothes of today's princess, sitting in front of the dressing table without saying a word.
After a while, Qingzhi opened the door and walked to Qin Rushuang. After hesitating for a long time, she reported to Qin Rushuang truthfully.
"Princess, over there in the east courtyard...the lights are out."
"Snapped--"
Qingzhi was startled by the sudden sound. When she looked closely, she saw that an ebony hairpin in Qin Rushuang's hand was broken into two pieces by her.
After the wood was broken, all the fine wood chips were inserted into Qin Rushuang's hands. The blood flowed down the black ebony and was quickly absorbed by the ebony.
The already bottomless black suddenly became darker, with a faint trace of blood in it, revealing an extremely strange red-black color under the dim light.
"Princess, please go get the medicine box and bandage it for you immediately!"
Qin Rushuang said nothing, let go of the hairpin in her hand, and let the blood flow everywhere.
She was talking to Xie Xun like that today just to see if Xie Xun could understand her feelings.
It seemed that Xie Xun had once again trampled her heart to the bottom of her feet.
When Qin Fanghao returns to Kyoto, the person who is most worried and uneasy is not the imperial concubine who is worried about the unrest in the back house of Prince Huai's palace, nor is it Qin Fanghao who finally returns to Prince Huai's palace after a long journey, but she who is watching her life once again be ruined by others.
The invading Princess White!
She thought Xie Xun should understand that the person who needed him most at this moment was not Qin Fanghao who finally got what he wanted, but her...
She thought Xie Xun should be able to hear what she meant, so she pushed Xie Xun to the east courtyard, but it was a helpless move. In fact, she hoped more than anyone else that Xie Xun could reject her proposal and return to the main courtyard as usual.
She thought Xie Xun could and should be able to understand her and understand that tonight, in this sleepless night for many people, she was the one who needed comfort most.
But Xie Xun doesn't understand.
I don't understand her hesitation, her worries, her thoughts, and her... fragility.
There was a noise at the door, and it was Qingzhi coming panting and holding a medicine box.
"Princess, please don't move, I'll take care of your wound."
"Don't come in."
Qingzhi's footsteps stopped in place and hesitantly said: "But...the wound on your hand, Princess..."
"Don't come in."
Qingzhi was stunned.
Under the dim candlelight, she seemed to see some transparent liquid, with a "tick" sound, falling on the ebony hairpin and mingling with the blood on the hairpin.
The princess... seemed to be crying.
Qingzhi's body stiffened, and he stood firmly in place, not daring to take another step forward.
A proud person like the princess would definitely not want others to see her crying...
Qingzhi stood there and watched, watching her princess cry silently.
But even though she was crying silently, the princess's back did not bend even a little.
Just like the proud and free-spirited Qin Rushuang who never gave in.
It wasn't until Qingzhi's legs were numb from standing that Qin Rushuang's voice came from the room, "You don't have to wait on me today."
Qingzhi quietly retreated, "Yes, Princess."
But she didn't go far. She stood quietly outside the door of the main courtyard all night.
The lights in the room never went out, and Qin Rushuang's straight back was reflected in the window.
Qingzhi watched outside the door all night, and the people inside the house sat quietly in front of the dressing table all night.
…
Early the next morning, just after dawn, Qin Rushuang's voice came from inside the house, "Qingzhi, come in and help me dress up."
Qingzhi went in and found that Qin Rushuang's posture was exactly the same as when she left last night, and she really hadn't moved at all.
The princess seems to be the same as before, but something has changed...
Qingchun tried hard to adjust the smile on his face, and asked in a brisk tone: "What do you want to do today, Princess? I see the sun is very nice outside, why don't we go for a walk on the street?"
Qin Rushuang shook her head: "No, I will stay in the palace today and not go anywhere. There may be orders from the palace later.
Qingzhi was not allowed to enter the main hall that day. Later, she vaguely heard that something happened in the main hall, but she did not know what was said specifically, so she did not know that Emperor Qi had proposed that Qin Fanghao become a concubine.
Therefore, when the news came from the people in the east courtyard that Qin Fanghao was going to be named the concubine of King Huai, Qingzhi felt unbelievable.
"How could this happen? How could the prince allow it?!"
Qin Rushuang lowered her eyes.
Why not?
Xie Xun stayed in the palace courtyard last night. After coming out of the east courtyard today, he immediately went to the military camp without caring about her emotions at all.
