Li Xue was startled for a moment, and then said nonchalantly: "I'm going to get wet in the rain?"
Xiao Yunheng hummed, his expression very indifferent: "This is the next best thing, otherwise I will be trapped here and never think of a way out."
"But what if..."
"There is no such thing as a chance." Xiao Yunheng's tone was a little more impatient, "Yun Zishu can't just watch something happen to you. After all, it is a life, so she will have scruples."
"Brother Heng, that's not what I meant." Li Xue explained quickly, for fear that he would misunderstand, "I wanted to say that we don't have to wait until it rains. I... I slipped and fell into the water tonight, and then... and then...
…”
"You lost your footing and fell into the water?" Xiao Yunheng's expression changed slightly, and he subconsciously thought of the incident where she fell into the water and framed Yun Zishu before, and a layer of gloom formed in his heart, "What if no one saves you?"
Li Xue said: "I can find a shallower river."
When Xiao Yunheng heard these words, he took a deep look at her. It turned out that she was proficient in this art and was really willing to do harm to her body for the sake of acting.
Outside the room, Yun Zishu's lips slowly turned into a mocking arc. She was not interested in continuing to listen and quickly turned around and left.
Apart from Li Xue, there was no one else waiting on her in Qingchen Residence. Yun Zishu came and left silently. From the beginning to the end, neither Xiao Yunheng nor Li Xue noticed her presence.
Si Cang followed Yun Zishu silently. There was no emotion on his stern face, but he could not help but glance at Yun Zishu's profile from time to time.
The girl is still young, with a palm-sized face that is delicate and flawless, and her skin is so tender that it looks like you can squeeze water out of it.
The face that was once innocent and ignorant of worldly affairs was stained with a layer of indifference, coldness, and overly calm demeanor that should not belong to this age.
Sicang quietly closed his eyes.
The obsession that has been rooted in people's hearts since they were young. As they grow older and grow from children to adults, that obsession does not decrease but increases, making him like a demon and unable to extricate himself day by day.
It was like there was a beast trapped in his chest, eager to break out of the cage. He had to suppress and restrain himself to ensure that he would not hurt her.
He respected her like a god and did not dare to blaspheme her in the slightest, let alone give the wildly roaring beast in his chest any chance to escape.
The sky is getting dark.
Yun Zishu returned to Qifeng Hall and had dinner with Sicang. The atmosphere during the meal was very natural and easy-going. She looked at the simple and delicious dishes in front of her and smiled lightly: "After tomorrow, you can accompany me every day."
It feels good to eat three meals a day with me, as if I have returned to those days when I was a child."
Although her life was relatively poor, it was extremely difficult for her, an unpopular princess, to get some medicinal materials. She had to compete with others for her wits and courage. Although three meals a day was too shabby compared to other princesses, she was often alone.
Wait.
But the days when we depended on each other were, to a certain extent, indescribably warm and precious. Thinking about it now, I often miss them.
"Those days, I will never forget them in my life." Sicang lowered his eyebrows and looked at the white rice in front of him. The rice was crystal clear, fragrant and sweet, but it was not as precious as eating a bowl of gruel with only a few grains of rice.
.
The feeling is different.
But Sicang knew that the days of eating white rice were equally worth cherishing for him, because he could eat it with the most important people in his life, and no matter what he ate, it was as delicious as heaven.
After dinner, Yun Zishu sat in front of the window and drank a cup of tea, thinking about Li Xue's clumsy plan and secretly calculating when she would start implementing it.
Not long after, hurried footsteps were heard outside: "Your Highness."
Yun Zishu raised her eyes.
The steward reported: "The side wife of the Xiao family fell into the water."
"Is he dead?"
"...No." The steward was stunned for a moment before replying, "I was rescued."
Yun Zishu hummed, "Let's find a doctor to see her. If she has something to do, she can give her a few drops of medicine and the medicine will cure her illness."
The stewardess coughed lightly, respectfully agreed, and quickly left.
"Leng Shuang." Yun Zishu followed the instructions with a calm tone, "Assign someone to decoct the medicine. After the medicine is cooked, bring it to Li Xue and watch her drink it three times a day. Remember to add more coptis."
Leng Shuang said yes, turned around and walked out.
Leng Yue was speechless, finally understanding why Yun Zishu could leave calmly without punishing Li Xue when she was facing those unpleasant curses outside Qingchen Ju.
A mean-tongued woman like Li Xue has no other skills except scolding and complaining, as well as using any means to create small plots to sow discord.
It is really useful to sow discord in the house, especially when she has the advantage and is favored. Those idiots will believe whatever she says, but the situation is different now.
Under the roof, her clumsy plots and tricks had no effect, and she was frustrated and aggrieved again and again. Apart from trying to satisfy her cravings, what other power could she use to resist?
However, people who like to curse need to be taught a lesson. Slapping her mouth all the time doesn't seem to have much effect, so just drink more bitter medicine and deal with it without any pain or itching.
So that night, after Li Xue was rescued, she lay wet on the bed for nearly an hour.
An hour later, Leng Shuang led a maid in. The maid held a bowl of freshly cooked decoction: "This is the medicine prescribed by the doctor. Madam, please get up and drink it."
Xiao Yunheng took the opportunity to ask Leng Shuang to open the chains, "Li Xue is feeling unwell and needs someone to take care of her. Please open my chains."
Leng Shuang refused ruthlessly: "Mrs. Side's health is fine. I'll just take care of her and drink a few pills."
Li Xue was helped up by the maid and sat up. She took the decoction. A strong bitter taste penetrated her nose. Before she even put it into her mouth, she felt her stomach began to churn violently.
"Drink, add one or two more Coptis chinensis, don't waste it." Leng Shuang said indifferently, "You don't need to thank my Princess, Your Highness is kind and kind, and I won't argue with you."
One or two coptis?
Li Xue's face suddenly turned earth-colored, and she wanted to throw out the bowl of carefully prepared soup: "Leng... Miss Leng Shuang, can you go and talk to Her Royal Highness, Brother Heng..."
"No." Leng Yue ruthlessly rejected her request again, "You drink your medicine, I will do my thing, and forget about other things."
Xiao Yunheng struggled to get up and said angrily: "What kind of medicine needs to be added with one or two berberine roots? You are deliberately teasing her."
"Young Master Xiao, these words are disrespectful again." Leng Shuang turned to look at him, her cold face full of chills, "You think you haven't received enough lessons these days, and you want the princess to give you another lesson?"
Stop?"
"you--"
"Brother Heng, please stop talking." Li Xue said weakly, her pale expression looking pitiful due to her forbearance, "Good medicine tastes bitter, this is the wish of Her Royal Highness, I will drink it."
After saying that, Li Xue lowered her head and took a sip of the medicine with the attitude of dying early and being reborn soon. However, just after taking a small sip, the bitter taste that was difficult to swallow immediately filled the entire mouth, making her almost spit it out.
Li Xue frowned and gritted her teeth to endure it. After a while, she was able to suppress the nausea. Just as she was about to take a second sip, her stomach suddenly started to churn violently. She hurriedly put the soup aside and got out of bed.
He rushed out without even having time to put on his shoes.
