Chapter 175 Why don't you get out soon, His Highness?
Chapter 175 Why don’t you get out of here, Your Highness? (1st update)
Su Jingqin helped Concubine Liu to the side hall to rest.
Concubine Liu, who had been tense, suddenly relaxed, lay down on the couch, and fell asleep soon after.
Su Jingqin stood by the couch and looked at Concubine Liu for a while, with a complicated look on her face.
Since she was born, she has only seen Concubine Liu a handful of times, and every time, as long as Su Hongxuan is present, her entire attention will be directed to him.
Every time, without exception.
When Su Jingqin was young, she even thought bitterly that it would be great if Su Hongxuan died, so that the mother-in-law could focus all her attention on herself.
But now that Su Hongxuan was dying, looking at Concubine Liu Gui's worried look, she couldn't be happy at all.
Maybe he is past the age when he cried and wanted to be in his mother's arms after being woken up by thunder.
Or maybe it's something else. Looking at the haggard face of the woman on the couch now, the resentment for so many years seems to have faded a lot.
"Your Royal Highness..." the palace attendant on the side called softly.
Su Jingqin came to her senses and was about to speak when she felt her hand being held by a fleshy little hand.
Su Jingqin was stunned, lowered her head, and met a pair of dazzling almond eyes.
"Shh!"
Su Jiu put her fingertips against her lips, glanced at Concubine Liu on the couch, turned to the palace attendant and said, "Sister, please take care of Concubine Liu."
The palace man nodded in agreement.
Su Jiu thanked her, showed a faint smile, and pulled Su Jingqin out of the side hall.
"Jiu'er, why don't you go back and rest first."
Su Jingqin held the villain's hand and said.
Su Jiu shook her head, "Fourth sister, you didn't sleep well last night. You go and have a rest. I'll just stay here and watch the third brother!"
Su Jingqin glanced at the inner hall and still felt uneasy.
"Fourth sister! Don't worry, Jiu'er will take good care of third brother. If there's anything you need, I'll ask brother Jingyi to tell you!"
Su Jiu patted her small chest and said in assurance.
Su Jingqin really hadn't slept well these days, so she raised her hand and rubbed the little man's head, "Okay, I'll take over for you after dinner."
Su Jiu shook her head again, "No, Jiu'er just asked the palace maid to prepare a bed for Jiu'er. If the fourth sister sleeps with Jiu'er, she will squeeze Jiu'er."
Su Jingqin choked, her chest heaved a few times, and she couldn't help but pinch the tip of the villain's nose gently.
"Okay, got it."
Su Jiu hurriedly hid behind Jing Yi and spat out her pink tongue at Su Jingqin, "Fourth sister, bye~bye~"
Su Jingqin laughed, but she knew in her heart that Su Jiu said this because she wanted to have a good rest.
Su Jiu watched Su Jingqin leave, the smile on her face disappeared little by little, she let go of Jing Yi's clothes, and sat down on the threshold of the palace gate.
He held his chin with both hands, and a few strands of hair fell down on both sides of his face. He looked extremely well-behaved and quiet.
As an imperial physician, Chu Bai did not dare to relax for a moment. He kept guarding Su Hongxuan in the inner hall, watching the villain coaxing Su Yijun to rest and Su Jingqin to rest. He knew that he could not help him, he was only so close.
It was carefully guarded, and even the threshold was close to the door frame, so it would not affect the palace guests coming and going at all.
Chu Bai immediately understood why His Majesty doted on the Ninth Princess so much, and why His Majesty the Fourth Highness, who had always shown no respect to anyone, was so kind to the Ninth Princess.
"Brother Jingyi..." The villain reached out and grabbed the hem of the little eunuch's clothes, with a hint of fear in his dark and bright almond eyes.
The little eunuch, who had been silent all this time, knelt down and raised his hand to gently smooth the villain's frown.
Su Jiu threw herself into Jing Yi's arms and said in a muffled voice, "Brother Jing Yi, the third brother won't die, right?"
For Su Jiu, death is not an unfamiliar word, but such a word is extremely heavy for a person like Su Yijun, let alone Su Jiu.
Jing Yi felt that the body holding the little one was trembling slightly, as if at this moment, he had taken off all the pretense of being well-behaved and sensible, exposing his truest heart.
Jing Yi's dark eyes wavered slightly, embracing the villain.
"Um."
It'll be okay, as long as you want it.
Su Jiu sniffed and clenched her little hands into fists, "Yes! Third brother will be fine!" In the image given by Uncle 66, the third brother did not die like this.
Just when Su Jiu withdrew from Jing Yi's arms, a plate of cakes suddenly appeared in front of her.
The villain's almond-shaped eyes flashed, and he looked over and saw the little eunuch carrying a plate.
The little eunuch looked a little shy, even nervous, and did not dare to look at Su Jiu. He turned his body outward, as if he was about to run away at any moment, but Nai He held the plate in his hand and could only stay in place.
"Brother Xiao Huazi?"
When Xiao Huazi heard the villain's voice, his body trembled, and his hands even began to tremble, "Eat, eat the cakes."
For Xiao Huazi, who has gynophobia, taking the initiative to approach is the biggest limit for Xiao Huazi. At this moment, it is good that he did not shake the plate in his hand.
Su Jiu took the plate and smiled sweetly at Xiao Huazi, "Thank you, brother Xiao Huazi~"
'boom!'
Xiao Huazi's whole face turned red instantly, and he ran away before he could say a word.
Su Jiu:……
The villain couldn't hold it back and laughed out loud as he looked at Xiao Huazi's fleeing back.
At this time, Su Jiu covered her eyes with her hands that had always been slightly cool, and blinked in confusion.
The villain's slender eyelashes were like two small brushes, gently scratching the palm of his hand, itching.
"Brother Jingyi?"
Jing Yi's dark eyes moved, and he glanced at Xiao Huazi who had disappeared around the corner. He slowly let go of his hand and looked into the little man's doubtful almond eyes, "Well, the sun is a bit dazzling."
Su Jiu raised her little head and glanced at the sky covered by clouds, then at the expressionless little eunuch, "...Oh."
The little eunuch opened his eyes and looked down at the cake in the villain's hand. He said without any hint of guilt in his voice, "Eat."

"You guys stay outside, I want to be alone for a while."
Su Jingqin crossed the threshold and stopped, turned to look at Cuizhu and the others behind her, and said coldly.
Cuizhu paused and glanced at Su Jingqin with concern, but said nothing, "Yes."
The door was slammed shut.
Su Jingqin quickly walked into the inner hall, sat beside the dressing table, clenched her hands into fists, and took a few deep breaths.
On the dressing table, the plain silver hairpin was placed quietly on the table. Su Jingqin's eyes were slightly red. Just when she was about to pick it up, she heard some movement suddenly coming from behind the screen that separated the outer room. If it hadn't been for this very moment.
Be quiet, and Su Jingqin won't notice.
Su Jingqin's eyes turned cold, she pulled out the whip from her waist, and said in a cold voice: "Who is sneaking behind the screen? Why don't you get out of here, Your Highness?"
