After rebirth, she turned around and married the emperor's uncle and tore the scumbag apart

Chapter 531 The Last Chance

When Xiao Yu woke up clutching the quilt tightly, he felt his whole body was heavy, as if it weighed a thousand pounds.

After lying there for a long time, I was barely able to move.

That night, the bloody fight in the dream seemed particularly long, as if there was no end.

Wiping the sweat off his forehead, Xiao Yu closed his eyes tiredly again and casually put down the hand on his forehead.

But there was an empty space beside me, and the familiar warm body was gone.

Xiao Yu felt very uncomfortable.

He raised his hand and lifted the lotus-colored gauze curtain, and saw Su Lingyue wearing a pink and white long dress, sitting at a round table with her chin in her hand, reading a book, looking quiet and reassuring.

"Yue'er."

When Su Lingyue heard Xiao Yu's voice, she smiled and turned around to meet his gaze.

"The prince is awake."

Su Lingyue put down the book, sat down beside the bed, held Xiao Yu's hand, and placed her fingertips on Xiao Yu's wrist.

Xiao Yu's pulse was disordered and a little weak.

Su Lingyue felt a little regretful. She shouldn't have let Xiao Yu work so hard yesterday. She should have let him rest in the mansion.

She still didn't show it on her face, and asked with a smile: "Did the prince sleep well?"

"What time is it?"

"It's just past noon."

It turns out he slept for so long.

But he still felt very tired and had no strength.

Seeing that Xiao Yu was still drowsy, Su Lingyue said softly, "Your Highness hasn't eaten for most of the day. Eat something before going to sleep."

"No appetite." Xiao Yu half-squinted his eyes and looked at Su Lingyue, and responded lazily.

Su Lingyue walked to the bed, looked down at Xiao Yu, and put her hands on her hips as if she was giving him a lecture.

"Who said yesterday that this body was mine?"

Xiao Yu squinted at her.

It's very interesting to see someone who looks so aggressive but is actually weak.

"My husband."

Su Lingyue was satisfied and asked Caidie to bring the specially prepared medicinal food and the medicine that Xiao Yu was going to drink.

Under the quilt, Xiao Yu was still naked, so Su Lingyue did not let Caidie stay to serve him.

Xiao Yu propped himself up and leaned lazily on the soft pillow. The quilt slipped off, revealing an old wound on his chest.

Seeing Su Lingyue sitting down beside the bed with the porridge in her hand, she handed the warm medicinal porridge to Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu took the medicinal porridge, scooped a spoonful and took a sip, and raised his brows.

"How is it?" Su Lingyue looked at Xiao Yu with her clear eyes, sparkling.

Xiao Yu understood and chuckled, "It tastes good."

After saying that, he started eating slowly again.

Su Lingyue looked at Xiao Yu eating porridge and smiled with her eyes curved.

Xiao Yu looked at the pair of sparkling eyes and the small mouth that was swallowing, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.

He scooped a spoonful of porridge and brought it to Su Lingyue's lips. "If you don't let Yue'er taste it, this saliva will drip onto the mattress."

"No." Su Lingyue glanced at Xiao Yu, then looked away with a red face and opened her cherry-red lips to eat the porridge.

The amount of sugar is just right, so the medicinal taste in the porridge is not so strong, and the fish meat is tender and melts in the mouth.

After eating, Xiao Yu handed over another spoonful.

Su Lingyue was a little embarrassed, swallowed her saliva and said: "This is specially cooked for the prince."

"Open your mouth."

"Oh."

Seeing how relishing Su Lingyue's meal was, Xiao Yu also felt a little hungry.

Each of them took a bite, and they finished the bowl of porridge together.

*

After finishing the porridge, Xiao Yu leaned lazily on the head of the bed. His arms and chest, which were whiter than boiled chicken, made Su Lingyue unable to help but take a few more glances.

"Does your Majesty want to wash up?"

"Yeah." Xiao Yu leaned his head on his hand, half squinting his eyes, and answered lazily.

Su Lingyue handed him the inner garment placed on the bedside, "Your Highness, put on your clothes so I can send someone to bring you some water."

Xiao Yu raised his lips and said, "I don't want to move."

The meaning is to let Su Lingyue handle it.

He did this on purpose.

She really didn't want to show her beautiful body to others.

Su Lingyue frowned, made up her mind, lifted the quilt and began to dress Xiao Yu.

The top is okay, but what’s underneath, when the quilt is lifted up, you can see everything you should and shouldn’t see.

Su Lingyue's cheeks were flushed red and her earlobes seemed to be dripping with blood.

She looked up at Xiao Yu guiltily, but found that he was as calm as ever. He squinted his eyes and looked at her with a red face, not knowing what to do.

Su Lingyue turned her eyes away in shame and anger, not wanting to look at Xiao Yu, and took her time putting her clothes on her two ridiculously long legs.

This is the second time I’ve dressed someone else.

The first time was also with Xiao Yu, but he was unconscious at that time and would not be smiling at her like he is now.

Fortunately, Xiao Yu was cooperative and he was able to put on his clothes smoothly.

"Your Highness, please lie down first. I'll have someone bring you some water." Su Lingyue walked away as if escaping.

Outside the corridor, Caiyi saw Su Lingyue coming out, put down her needlework, and asked, "Miss, is this... a fever?"

Su Lingyue dodged her gaze, picked up the fan with sparrow branches from the sewing box beside her, and fanned herself with the wind, saying, "It's okay, it's just too hot in the room. The prince wants to wash up, please bring in the hot water."

After Xiao Yu finished washing up, Su Lingyue told him about Li Huaizhi's investigation at the mansion.

"Did he tell us about his investigation at Duke Dingguo's Mansion?" Xiao Yu asked with a serious look.

"No." Su Lingyue shook her head with a smile on her face. "I think it was a similar way of asking, but father must have tried his best to throw dirty water on the palace, and I didn't mention anything. After this, father must have become Li Huaizhi's biggest suspect."

"Good news should come from the Ministry of Justice soon."

Xiao Yu leaned lazily against the head of the bed and said seriously: "With a virtuous wife at home, a husband can sleep with peace of mind."

Being praised by Xiao Yu, Su Lingyue raised her little face and said confidently: "Your Highness, if you want to sleep, go ahead. I am here and nothing will happen to the mansion."

Thinking of what Yan Qing said about the portrait in the attic, Su Lingyue suppressed her smile and asked with some concern: "Will this ruin the cooperation between the prince and Xiao Changan?"

A hint of coldness flashed in Xiao Yu's eyes, and he said, "It's just a temporary relationship of mutual benefit. This day will come sooner or later. Now in the capital, the only one he can rely on is me, and he can't make any waves."

"Is that so?" Su Lingyue felt much more relieved.

Xiao Yu looked at Su Lingyue and said softly, "Ask Yanqing to come over. Also, I want to drink the tea that Yue'er brewed."

Asking her to make tea was just an excuse. Xiao Yu wanted to talk to Yan Qing alone.

"Okay." Su Lingyue went out with a smile.

I don't know what they are going to talk about.

There must be something that you can't do.

Now all she can do is to do what she can within her ability and reduce his worries.

*

Yan Qing came in and saw Xiao Yu leaning against the head of the bed. His complexion was obviously much worse than yesterday.

"Your Highness..." Yan Qing looked at him with worry on his face.

"I'm fine." Xiao Yu said calmly, "Send a message to Yun Ting and ask him to find a chance to search Xiao Changan's belongings."

This may be his last chance.

The city gate will not open for another five days. These five days are Yun Ting’s last chance to find medicine.

"Yes." Yan Qing did not dare to delay for a moment and went back to his room to write a letter.

In the Duke Dingguo's Mansion, Su Heng asked his men to capture the patrol soldier who had been to Prince Su's Mansion in the morning. After asking him about the situation inside, he couldn't help but snorted coldly.

This rebellious daughter of his has grown up to be so capable that she dares to team up with Xiao Yu to throw dirty water on him!

Li Yi couldn't just stand by and watch.

He must go to the Ministry of Justice's prison. If Li Yi still holds a grudge against Li Xiaoyun, he cannot stay.
