Chapter 315 Mu Xinyue's Scheming
Chapter 315 Mu Xinyue's Scheming
Hearing this, Zhao Yichen subconsciously glanced at Shen Qingqian. Shen Qingqian was also looking at her, and he was a little confused about the deep meaning in her eyes.
Zhao Yichen rubbed his brows irritably, feeling a headache. General Mu died to protect him, and before he died, he entrusted his daughter to him to take care of. Since he had promised, he could not break his promise and had to take care of it.
But Shen Qingqian obviously doesn't like Xinyue, and he doesn't want Shen Qingqian to misunderstand, or for Xinyue to affect his relationship with Shen Qingqian, so he is really in a difficult position!
He looked at his attendant and asked, "Didn't you ask the court doctor to see him?"
The attendant said, "My Lord, the palace doctor has examined her and said that Miss Mu's high fever was caused by a lack of acclimatization and gastrointestinal discomfort. He has already prescribed medicine for her."
"Since you have already seen it, why do you still come to me?"
Zhao Yichen said impatiently.
The attendant's legs became weak after being asked, and he almost knelt down, but he still said with a stiff upper lip: "My Lord, Miss Mu said that she hasn't seen you since she returned to Beijing, and she doesn't know anyone here, so she wants to see you."
Zhao Yichen remembered that he had not returned home in the past two days. He stayed in the palace for one night on the day he came back. He came to Shen Qingqian as soon as he finished his work this morning, but he didn't care about Xinyue.
Xinyue had just arrived, so she must have been having trouble adapting. And since she couldn't see him, she probably felt a little uneasy, so she fell ill.
"Qingqian, Xinyue is sick, and she has no relatives here. I will go back to see her first, and come back to accompany you tomorrow when I have time."
Zhao Yichen looked at Shen Qingqian cautiously while speaking, fearing that she would be angry.
Shen Qingqian smiled slightly and said, "Okay, go ahead. It's not right to leave a little girl alone at home. We have a long way to go, and there will be plenty of time in the future."
Zhao Yichen was a little surprised by Shen Qingqian's words. He thought she would be unhappy, but he didn't expect her to say that!
He looked at Shen Qingqian with an inquiring gaze, wanting to see if her words were from the heart, but Shen Qingqian always maintained a faint smile, showing no emotion at all!
Zhao Yichen walked out of the room, crossed the corridor, and finally went out of the hanging flower gate and disappeared.
Shen Qingqian stared blankly at his disappearing back, feeling mixed emotions. She knew Zhao Yichen was simply following someone's orders and doing what he asked her to do; she was not a petty person and would not tolerate an orphan girl who had lost her relatives.
However, she could tell that Miss Mu definitely had ulterior motives! She felt uncomfortable with such a person getting involved between her and Zhao Yichen!
Zhao Yichen said he would come to see her tomorrow, but Shen Qingqian planned to report to the military camp tomorrow. Yang Zhi had to arrange Yang Sheng's funeral at home, so he would need to rest for a few days. She needed to pay more attention to the affairs in the military camp.
Zhizhu's poison has been completely resolved, but his vitality has also been damaged and needs to be replenished slowly.
After what happened last time, Shen Qingqian didn't dare to be careless anymore. She asked Han Qingshan to help her find a few good guards to keep by her side at all times.
The man in black who had robbed and killed Shen Qingqian was sent by King Rui, but the result was that Shen Qingqian was still alive and well, while the people he sent were all wiped out!
Of course, Prince Rui was unwilling to give up, but if he failed this time, it would be difficult to find another chance! But Zhao Yichen also came back, and the emperor granted them a marriage, which made Prince Rui even more depressed!
Zhao Yichen has always supported the prince, and now with Shen Qingqian, the prince will have another helper!
King Rui felt that he could no longer sit there and wait for death, he had to do something! And this time, he must not fail again!
The Yang family held a funeral for Yang Sheng, and many court officials went to pay their respects. Even the emperor gave many gifts to the Yang family, and conferred the title of First-Class Imperial Lady on Old Madam Yang.
But for the Yang family, no matter how many material possessions they have, they cannot make up for the pain of losing their loved ones.
The rumors about the third princess were not suppressed, but intensified. The Yang family also heard some of them. Yang Zhi didn't take them seriously, thinking they were just groundless rumors, but Old Lady Yang believed them. The pain of losing her son made her paranoid that the third princess had killed Yang Sheng.
She began to hate the Third Princess in her heart. If it weren't for her status, she would definitely go and cause trouble for the Third Princess!
Dong Yurou's situation was much worse than the Third Princess'. Every day she either threw things or tried to commit suicide, causing unrest in the entire Prime Minister's Mansion.
After a few days of this, Dong Yurou finally couldn't stand it anymore and accepted the reality. She just waited for her hair to grow back quickly so that her life could get back on track.
But at this moment, she heard the news that the emperor had granted marriage to Zhao Yichen and Shen Qingqian. Dong Yurou's heart, which had finally calmed down, began to explode again. She was like a lit firecracker, and when she went crazy she was even more terrifying than before!
Prime Minister Dong tried his best to comfort Dong Yurou at first, but seeing Dong Yurou's increasingly unstable mood, completely losing her previous image of a lady and making a fuss like a mad woman every day, he gradually lost his patience and was ready to give up on his daughter.
Therefore, Prime Minister Dong never mentioned to the emperor again about marrying Dong Yurou to Zhao Yichen.
Mrs. Dong had originally thought about going to Concubine Dong to ask for an explanation, but when she heard that Concubine Dong had been under house arrest by the Emperor and that Prime Minister Dong's attitude had also changed, she thought about it and decided not to go and get into trouble.
When Zhao Yichen returned to his house, Mu Xinyue had already taken the medicine and her fever had almost subsided.
Seeing Zhao Yichen coming in, Mu Xinyue struggled to sit up, looked at him with a pair of misty eyes, and said with a hint of guilt: "I'm sorry, Brother Yichen, I'm really feeling very uncomfortable and a little homesick, so I asked someone to call you back. You won't blame me, right?"
Zhao Yichen looked at her weak appearance and felt a little guilty. He was the one who brought her back and promised to take good care of her. But she got sick on the second day after she arrived!
"It's okay. How are you feeling? Are you feeling better?"
Mu Xinyue smiled weakly and said, "I'm much better now. Brother Yichen, I heard that you went to see Miss Shen. I called you back. Is she angry?"
Although Mu Xinyue had only met Shen Qingqian once, she could roughly tell what kind of person Shen Qingqian was. She was straightforward, strong, had a clear distinction between love and hate, and was also very thoughtful. Therefore, she concluded that Shen Qingqian would be angry if she deliberately called Zhao Yichen away!
It would be best if the two of them could have a quarrel, so that when Zhao Yichen comes back, she can be a little gentler and more considerate, and Zhao Yichen will compare in his heart who is the one who deserves his love!
As time goes on, she doesn't believe that there won't be a rift between the two of them!
