Chapter two hundred and eight, the reason for the midnight guest
"Father, that day... my daughter was in a panic. When she saw someone was injured, she helped her, then called someone and left. I was also scared at that time. At least someone... was not running for her life alone." Yu Xi
Jiao lowered her head, her little face looking increasingly pale and weak.
Seeing his daughter's appearance, Yu Ruiwen's voice became gentler and he didn't ask any more questions, fearing to remind her of the frightening things: "It's okay. What other things did Prince Qi ask about?"
"Ask my daughter if she found anything at that time. How could she find anything else at that time?" Yu Xijiao said, nodding to Mingyue. Mingyue and Qingyue went in and took out two gift boxes, "Father, this is
The thank-you gift sent by the Prince of Qi said that the Queen will also come with the decree, but it may not be immediately."
"Aren't you talking about the grace of saving your life?" Yu Ruiwen straightened his body and asked urgently.
"Don't tell me this reason." Yu Xijiao said.
"That's good, that's good!" Yu Ruiwen breathed a sigh of relief. He was also very worried now. The matter with his second daughter was over. If something happened to his younger daughter again, it wouldn't be enough for him to split into two.
"Father, these gifts?" Yu Xijiao pointed to the two large gift boxes in front of her.
Yu Ruiwen stood up, walked over, took a look, and nodded. Although the gift was expensive, it could indeed be accepted as a life-saving gift.
"Take it first. If there is a chance in the future, I will repay the gift to my father." Yu Ruiwen didn't want to get involved with Feng Yu.
"Thank you, father." Yu Xi said softly.
Seeing that her face was pale and she looked extremely frail as she sat there, Yu Ruiwen didn't stay long and told Yu Xijiao to take a rest before going back.
Instead of going back to the study, he went directly to Princess An and the eldest daughter's house. He still had to listen to his mother's wishes on this matter...
Yu Xijiao washed her face and lay down again. The medicine was taken out. After taking one dose, Yu Xijiao behaved much better.
She just didn't want to see Mrs. Qian for the time being. From what the servants said and Yu Ruiwen's attitude, she knew that Yu Ruiwen had great respect for this mother-in-law.
She pretended to be sick and avoided it for a while. This was not the best time for the two parties to meet. She also did not want to be a tool to show Mrs. Qian's generosity and kindness, forcing herself to change her words.
It is impossible to force yourself to reconcile with Qian.
"Girl, will Mrs. Qian come here again tomorrow?" Qingyue brought a cup of tea for Yu Xijiao and asked worriedly. She saw Mrs. Qian today. If the girl hadn't asked her
Be careful, she will definitely think that Mrs. Qian is a kind, old and weak person, and she is a philanthropist no matter what.
"No!" Yu Xijiao shook her head and asked Qingyue to open the window slightly to let out the smell of medicine. Her condition should be much better tomorrow.
"Girl, I heard from the people around Mrs. Qian that she may come to the house tomorrow. They said that Mrs. Qian is injured now, and Mrs. Qian is worried."
Qingyue was still worried. She secretly asked people around Mrs. Qian to get the news.
"Second sister's matter... I'm afraid there is something wrong." Yu Xiyao closed her eyes, her long eyelashes clinging to her eyelids, showing a bit of weakness and weariness.
"Is it because the Marquis went to his wife's house after returning to the house and then left the house again?" Qingyue opened the window and looked outside. It was already dark and it was much quieter outside.
Nanny Xu went to inquire about it before. Yu Ruiwen hurried out of the house, then hurried to Qian's place, and finally came to Yaoshui Pavilion, and then left the house again.
I heard that I went to my grandmother's house.
"Father... doesn't seem to like Yu Yuxi being the princess." Yu Xijiao sighed. She was also surprised by this. She originally thought that her father would be very happy to let Yu Yuxi ascend to the royal family. Judging from Yu Yuxi's past expenses and behavior,
There is a strong sense of cultivation in this direction.
"Is His Royal Highness Duan Wang coming to the palace today because of the second girl?" Mingyue, who has been waiting silently at the side, turned on the light a little brighter and asked.
"Maybe." Yu Xijiao said thoughtfully. This thing was a bit strange. She saw it from a distance, so she could only say "what a coincidence", as if it was planned.
"Second sister rarely comes to the yard in the past. At least during this period of time, she hardly goes to the yard to enjoy the scenery. She looked dressed up for a long time that day. She didn't need to dress up like this in her own house." Yu Xi smiled sweetly.
Well, if this was a coincidence, she could only call it a coincidence.
Since she came to the house, Yu Yuxi often complained of illness. Even in the same house, the two of them almost never met.
At that time, I met King Duan, who immediately went to the palace to see the queen and ask for her decree.
How can it be so easy to decide on the royal wife? Duan Wang Feng Lanxiu has such an impulsive temperament? She fell in love with her at first sight, and then entered the palace to seek orders. It had nothing to do with interests or power, just for that
The woman I fell in love with at first sight sounds so beautiful, so beautiful that it feels like it is true.
But she didn’t believe it!
The marriage between Yu Lanxuan and Chu Zihan was also caused by "love at first sight". For Yu Lanxuan, Chu Zihan knelt down and begged his father, and swore to heaven that Yu Lanxuan was the only one in his life. He also promised that he would be devoted to Yu Lanxuan. Xin Kangbo also expressed his love to his father again and again.
Praying hard, it can be said that everyone in the Kangbo family is determined to marry Yu Lanxuan.
But what happened in the end? There was no place for me to be buried in this room. The so-called marriage ruined the lives of so many relatives!
"Girl..." Hearing Yu Xijiao's breathing become heavier, Qingyue looked at Mingyue and whispered uneasily.
"Go down!" Yu Xijiao did not open her eyes.
"Yes!" The two maids looked at each other, blew out the lamp, and retreated.
The room became quiet, and the only sound in the darkness was Yu Xijiao's breathing, which sounded a little clearer than before.
Turning to one side, the closed eyes slowly opened. In the night, there was only a ray of light outside the window, and some objects in the house were faintly visible.
My heart was pulled hard, and it was painful.
Dad, grandpa, grandma... and my cute little cousin who was just born...
Her hands were clenched into fists under the quilt. Even under the quilt, she slowly curled up in one place, as if that could keep herself warm. The night was cold, but what was really cold was the human heart.
I don't know when the quilt covered her head. It was dark, absolutely dark, and I couldn't see my fingers. Yu Xijiao closed her eyes tightly and shivered slightly. Only on a night like this, would she recall the events of her previous life?
, shrink some, shrink some more...
The quilt was suddenly lifted, and someone chuckled in the darkness. Yu Xi stopped shaking. She suddenly opened her eyes in the darkness, and stared at the person in front of her with a pair of blood-red eyes.
"Don't you feel hot?"
"not hot."
"Cover you again." The quilt came down again, pressing her heavily, and her eyes were filled with darkness again.
Yu Xijiao exhaled forcefully, pushed back the quilt, and looked at the dark figure in front of her expressionlessly. She had only seen it during the day, and such an elegant voice was unmistakable. As for entering someone's house in the middle of the night,
, once raw and twice mature.
"What's wrong, Your Majesty?"
There were no lights in the room, and the only light was the moonlight shining from behind. The moonlight was like water, and the night was very beautiful and bright today. Feng Yu stretched out his legs and hooked the chair, sat down, and said without thinking: "What about your father?"
mean?"
"I don't like it." Yu Xijiao sat up, leaned back, pulled the quilt up to cover her neck, and answered extremely calmly.
"Marquis Xuanping is not a completely bloodless person." Feng Yu lowered his eyes and looked at the girl on the bed who looked calm but was actually wary, and laughed softly.
There was so much meaning in these words that Yu Xijiao fluttered her long eyelashes twice: "Why did the prince say that?"
"It seems like you don't know about the old affairs of your Xuan family." Feng Yu's eyes were dark and dark, and he stretched out his hand towards Yu Xijiao.
Yu Xijiao looked at the stretched out hand motionlessly, and then saw that the hand took a soft cushion beside her and put it lazily behind Feng Yu.
I was sitting on my own chair, not a wheelchair!
"Your Majesty, please speak!" Yu Xijiao said.
"These are all family affairs of your Xuanpinghou Mansion. Since Xuanpinghou didn't say anything, I have nothing to say, but there is one thing I really want to know."
"What's the matter?" Yu Xi asked gently.
"What will your grandmother do? I heard that Princess An and the eldest princess hated evil and had the most violent temper when they were young. But after so many years, they look like ordinary old royal princesses who are just enjoying their lives." Feng Yu
The words were full of sarcasm.
"Grandma is very good. It was then, and it is now. No one can stay the same, not even grandma." Yu Xijiao was not happy to hear this and retorted.
Across the vast sea and mulberry fields, who can guarantee that you will always be as young as you were!
The irony is obvious.
Feng Yu didn't take it seriously and laughed loudly. He propped up his chin and looked at the girl on the bed leisurely. From his direction, he could clearly see Yu Xi's delicate and charming face without any fear. Her eyes looked at each other calmly without any hesitation.
, there is no trace of charm at all. It is obviously the most charming situation, but there is no charm at all between the two people.
"Do you like Princess Anhe? I heard that you have been left alone in the south of the Yangtze River for so many years, and your relatives in the capital have ignored you. Being a legitimate daughter of the Xuanping Marquis is like an orphan without a father or a mother.
It seems that I have been living in the south of the Yangtze River. The people in the capital only knew that the second girl from the Xuanping Hou Mansion was the direct daughter, but they didn’t know that the third girl from the south of the Yangtze River was also."
Feng Yu smiled lazily.
Yu Xijiao smiled slightly: "Even so, it cannot cover up what my grandmother has done for me. I am grateful for my grandmother's feelings."
"Since I'm grateful, would you like to do something good for your grandmother?" Feng Yu laughed.
He really couldn't believe that an orphan girl who was left in the south of the Yangtze River with no one to look after her would be so interested in a grandmother she had never met before.
Yu Xijiao took a deep breath: "Is this the reason why the prince came here tonight?"
No matter how much she said, she couldn't hide the true meaning behind this sentence. Yu Xijiao didn't think that the prince of Qi in front of her was just here to mock her grandmother.
"Yes, that's the reason for coming here today. The little girl is smart and reacts quickly." When what was in his heart was revealed, Feng Yu first laughed, and then said without concealing it.
