Chapter 215 Care
As soon as Wen Jiu arrived at the door, he saw Qiao Shinian standing inside waiting for him. Behind Qiao Shinian stood Yingzhu. After glancing at him, she quickly lowered her head and no longer looked at him.
Wen Jiu clenched his fists, and then the eunuch who was holding him called out in a low voice: "Ouch! Your Highness Prince Yongle, it's my fault, please let me go."
Qiao Shinian stepped out of the door, took out a few coins and handed them to the eunuch: "Thank you for your hard work, eunuch, leave it to me next."
The young eunuch secretly glanced at Wen Jiu's expression and saw Wen Jiu let him go. He took the silver, said "it's my duty" and quickly left.
Qiao Shinian supported one side of Wen Jiu and turned to look at Yingzhu. Yingzhu was unmoved. Chunxue had disappeared, leaving only Yue Yu to support the other side.
"Why do you want to hide it from me?"
"Oh, it's because I don't want to make my sister worry! My sister hasn't been in a good mental state recently, and I really can't let you be distracted by such a small matter of mine." Wen Jiu smiled foolishly. Before he entered the bedroom, Chunxue had already hurried over with the imperial physician.
"No injuries were done to my bones, but I need to rest for some time."
These were the words of the imperial physician. Qiao Shinian looked at the bloody undergarment and took a deep breath: "Don't be so reckless next time. Don't hurt yourself when punishing them."
"I'm fine." Wen Jiu looked at Qiao Shinian's gloomy face and wanted to reach out and hold her hand.
Qiao Shinian turned around and walked outside: "I heard that the Ninth Prince's mother gave birth to a princess. We are the beneficiaries of their kindness, so we should go and congratulate them. You should write carefully today and think about what gifts you can give. I will come to see you tomorrow."
Watching Qiao Shinian leave without looking back, Wen Jiu finally let out a breath he had been holding on to: "Go find a eunuch to apply medicine to me." Wen Jiu buried his face in the pillow, feeling a little uncomfortable in his heart.
It seemed that Qiao Shinian didn't care much about him when he saw him like this, and didn't even bother to stay and take care of him.
"Miss Qiao, what do you think of the strategy I told you?" Feng Tianmo was flipping the sweet potatoes on the iron rack. When he saw Qiao Shinian coming in, he quickly stood up and gave her his seat.
"It's a bit mean." Qiao Shinian thought about it, but still couldn't make up his mind.
Feng Tianmo's smiling face froze. After thinking for a while, he said, "Although this trick is a bit sinister, it works! It is simple and clear to keep the Zhou envoys, and it will also make the Zhou country lose face."
Qiao Shinian looked at Feng Tianmo and saw him smiling ingratiatingly. She couldn’t stand it: “Wen Jiu and I are close. Since you are his uncle, you are also my elder. There is no need to be so reserved.
Sir, you might as well think about how Wen Jiu can gain a foothold in Xingzhou. I heard that Xingzhou is not so easy to govern."
"Oh~, I have a rough idea about this, but I don't have enough information, so I can only think and plan for the time being. However, I have been planning for a long time about the girl's matter, and it is urgent to vent your anger for you."
Qiao Shinian was speechless: "Sir, roasted sweet potatoes are delicious, but don't be greedy, otherwise you will have indigestion and high blood sugar." Qiao Shinian stood up and said, "I am not good at planning. Regarding Xingzhou's affairs, I would like to trouble you to take the trouble to plan for Wen Jiu."
"Of course, please rest assured, young lady." Feng Tianmo stood up and kicked a small bag of sweet potatoes beside him.
Yue Yu occasionally complained that he was like a mouse, and he would take away several sweet potatoes without her noticing. This happened every day, and in just a short time, he had almost eaten half a sack of sweet potatoes.
Back in the room, Qiao Shinian looked at Yingzhu who was following behind him: "Thank you for telling me about Wen Jiu."
Yingzhu held Qiao Shinian's cold hand and said, "I haven't seen you for a few months. Why are you so distant from me? I am yours, so I will naturally put you first and will never lie to you."
"But you concealed Mu Qingchen's true intention from me." Qiao Shinian withdrew her hand. She looked at Yingzhu in front of her. She wanted to be angry, to be furious, and to scream.
However, they are Mu Qingchen's only legacy in this world, they are the legacy Mu Qingchen left to her.
Yingzhu took Qiao Shinian's hand again, full of tenderness: "Girl, you can punish us. We don't want the prince to leave us more than anyone else. He asked us to protect the girl he loves most, just like protecting him."
Qiao Shinian's eyes were moist again, and she closed her eyes: "You don't know, these past few days, sometimes I feel really bad about myself. There is nothing in this world worth him staying with, including me, and he just silently waited until the end and chose to leave everyone."
"No, girl. The prince cherishes you very much. He said that he wants to live in the peaceful and prosperous world you created in his next life. He has endured too much pain and sin in this life. It would be difficult for him to face himself if he lived like this." Yingzhu lowered her head, tears already falling to the ground.
Night comes early in winter. It is already dark at 5:20.
Wen Jiu woke up and looked at the two flickering candles in the room.
He had a rare nightmare and couldn't calm down for a long time after being awakened by the fright. He looked at the unfamiliar environment and felt a little panic for a moment. His brain was blank and he couldn't remember who he was or where he was. He just felt that everything in front of him was extremely strange.
"Hiss!" He wanted to move, to turn over, but the pain between his waist and hips brought back all his lost memories.
"Awake?" Qiao Shinian came in with a bowl in his hand. Seeing Wen Jiu sweating all over his head, he put down the bowl and sighed, "Don't move. Did you have a nightmare this afternoon? Seeing you sweating and talking nonsense all the time, I thought you had a fever."
"What did I say?" Wen Jiu turned his head and watched Qiao Shinian light the candles one by one, watching the light return to the room.
"It's a bit blurry, I couldn't hear it clearly, I only remember two sentences, 'You can't abandon me like this' and 'We agreed to be together forever'." Qiao Shinian couldn't help laughing after she finished speaking. She squatted beside the bed and wiped the sweat off Wen Jiu's forehead with a handkerchief. "Why, do you have someone you like? Or were those words directed at me?"
"Say it to the person you like." Wen Jiu lowered his head and whispered softly.
"Hey, who is it? Do I know him? No, do I know that person?" Qiao Shinian brought the crucian carp and meat porridge that had been simmered for more than an hour in the afternoon, blew on it gently and fed it to Wen Jiu.
"Ah~, open your mouth."
"Sister, why do you take care of me so much?" Wen Jiu opened his mouth and took a bite, his face filled with happiness.
Qiao Shinian smiled and said, "When I was cooking this porridge for you this afternoon, I don't know why, my maternal instinct suddenly exploded. Feeding you like this reminds me of the cultivation game I used to play. If I stay here for a long time, I may be old enough to have children.
Although I don't want to have children, it doesn't stop me from raising one. After all, I'm a wealthy woman now, and I can afford to raise a child."
After Wen Jiu heard this, the happy smile on his face immediately disappeared. He turned his head and said, "I'm not a child anymore! I've told you many times. How do you want me to prove it to you?"
"Have you reached puberty?" Qiao Shinian held the bowl in one hand and turned Wen Jiu's face over with the other, "Open your mouth!"
"Hmph!" Wen Jiu reluctantly opened his mouth again.
