Chapter 202 Concealment

Xie Jingyu took the medicine, Shen Wan took the medicine bowl, and walked away, looking back every few steps.

After leaving the study, Shanhu took the tray and went back to the room. She sat on the bed for a long time before lying down.

It was already late, and I had been sleepless for half a day, only falling asleep in the second half of the night.

If you go to bed late, you will get up late. When you wake up, it is already noon. Looking at the sunlight shining in through the window, it is not as soft as before. Chen Wan knows that he has gotten up late.

Shanhu Yinchuan was guarding outside the door and only came into the room when they heard the noise. Chen Wan got out of bed and said, "Why didn't you wake me up?"

Shanhu whispered, "Slave, I got up late this morning too..."

Chen Wan goes to bed late, and Shanhu Yinchuan also goes to bed late.

The two maids were worried.

They really wanted to know what the Crown Prince's Concubine had done to make the Crown Prince so angry that he vomited blood. Should they go back and report this to the Duke and the Duke's wife? In theory, they should, but the Crown Prince didn't do anything to the Crown Prince's Concubine, and they were also afraid that Shen Wan would be scolded by Shen Ji and Yun.

The two maids discussed for a long time but could not come to a conclusion. They woke up early in the morning but could not get up. They thought they would take a nap, and ended up taking a nap for most of the hour.

The two maids hurriedly helped Chen Wan get out of bed. Before they even entered the room, Chen Ping called them to boil medicine. Thinking that it was too late for the Crown Prince's wife to pay her respects today, they decided to just sleep a little longer.

If she was late in paying her respects occasionally, she would at most be scolded, but nothing could happen to her.

Shen Wan was still worried about Xie Jingyu. She didn't know if his anger last night had subsided...

Shanhu helped Chen Wan get dressed. After washing up, she sat in front of the dressing table and tied her hair into a bun. Just as she finished her makeup, Chun'er came in and said, "Prince's Consort, Mother Zhao is here..."

The princess fell ill, and Mother Zhao had to serve her and help her deal with matters in the mansion. How could she come to Zhao Lanxuan?

Worried, Shen Wan got up and went out.

As she stepped out of the door, she happened to see Mother Zhao heading towards the study. When Shen Wan walked outside the study, she heard Mother Zhao say, "There's a rumor in the mansion that the Crown Prince was so angry with the Crown Princess that he vomited blood. The Princess asked this servant to come and ask what happened?"

Shen Wan was startled and looked at Shan Hu.

Coral shook her head repeatedly.

Only a few of them knew that the prince was vomiting blood. Even Zhao Lanxuan hadn't spread the news, so how could it have reached the ears of the princess?

If the prince and princess knew that the Crown Prince's wife made him so angry that he vomited blood, they would definitely not like her anymore.

Shanhu was sweating in her heart for Chen Wan, and then she heard Xie Jingyu's voice coming from the study, "Does mother also believe such rumors?"

Mother Zhao said, "The Crown Prince is the lifeblood of the Princess. No matter how outrageous the Crown Prince's affairs are, the Princess dare not take them lightly."

Mother Zhao said this while looking at the medicine bowl on the desk that had not been taken away.

Xie Jingyu said, "I got a stitch in the side while practicing last night and spit out blood. It wasn't serious, but Chen Ping was worried and had Doctor Zhao come to take my pulse. The Crown Prince's Consort was trying to piss me off to the point of spitting blood. Zhao Lanxuan is already preparing for the funeral."

That's true.

The Crown Prince has never had a good temper since he was young. Even if the Prince asks him to suffer a little injustice, he will not tolerate it. If the Crown Princess can really make the Crown Prince angry to the point of vomiting blood, then we will really have to worry about her life or death.

Besides, Mother Zhao couldn't imagine what outrageous thing the Crown Prince's wife could have done to make the Crown Prince so angry. She really deserved to be punished for spreading such rumors.

Seeing that Xie Jingyu looked fine, Mother Zhao said, "Young Master, when you practice martial arts in the future, please don't rush for success. This will hurt yourself and make the prince and princess worry."

Xie Jingyu said, "Later, I will go with the Crown Prince's Consort to pay my respects to Mother."

Mother Zhao wanted Xie Jingyu to recuperate, but the princess was worried unless she saw Xie Jingyu in person. If she hadn't stopped her, the princess would have dragged her sick body to Zhao Lanxuan.

Chen Wan didn't expect Xie Jingyu to hide it for her, and she felt more and more guilty.

Mother Zhao came out of the study and saw Shen Wan standing there. She bowed to Shen Wan and left.

Shen Wan hesitated outside the study for a while, then walked in. "Thank you for helping me keep it secret from you about what happened last night..."

The voice became smaller and smaller.

Xie Jingyu's eyes swept across her face and he said coldly, "Is it glorious to spit out blood out of anger?"

"Go see mother in half an hour."

His eyes fell on the book, and he looked unwilling to say another word to Shen Wan. Shen Wan left tactfully.

The small kitchen brought the already late breakfast, and Shen Wan sat down to eat it. When half an hour was up, she went out, and Xie Jingyu also came over from the study.

The rumor about Xie Jingyu vomiting blood due to anger has already spread to Zhaolanxuan. Although the maids and servants thought the rumor was outrageous, they still couldn't help but look at Shen Wan and Xie Jingyu. After all, empty words can't bring wind.

There does seem to be something wrong in the relationship between the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess. When they first got married, their hands seemed to be tied together. Later, they no longer held hands, but they still walked side by side. Now, the Crown Prince is walking in front, and the Crown Princess is several steps behind.

Although it is different when you are newly married, the novelty wears off too quickly.

After leaving Zhaolanxuan, Xie Jingyu looked at Chen Wan, who was several steps behind, and said, "Stay away from me."

Shen Wan was distracted thinking about something and didn't even look at Xie Jingyu, so she quickly did as he was told.

But when she turned around, she felt something was wrong. Xie Jingyu wanted to go with her to pay his respects to the princess because he was afraid that the princess would worry. If they went separately, wouldn't that make the princess even more worried?

Shen Wan turned around and saw Xie Jingyu's face shining darkly in the sunlight.

It's over. I misunderstood him again and annoyed him.

If he made her spit out blood again on the spot, she could get the divorce papers and leave today.

Chen Wan walked over with her head held high and even tried to grab his hand. Xie Jingyu didn't shake her hand off, but held it tightly, so tightly that Chen Wan felt like her hand was going to break.

Shen Wan walked a hundred steps, and finally couldn't help but beg for mercy, "It hurts..."

The voice was so weak that it could hardly be heard. After all, there were maids and old women around, looking over here frequently.

The Crown Prince and the Crown Princess have such a good relationship, how could there be a rumor that the Crown Prince was so angry with the Crown Princess that he vomited blood? This rumor is too far-fetched.

Xie Jingyu didn't let go, and Shen Wan didn't dare to beg for mercy anymore, so he could only endure it.

The second wife came over with her maid and saw this scene from afar. She was so angry that she almost vomited blood.

But she was angry with Xie Jingyu.

The Crown Princess was so angry that she was about to vomit blood, but he couldn't let go of her hand. What kind of magic potion did the Crown Princess feed him?!

Looking at the tightly clasped hands, the second wife was so angry that she felt like smoke was coming out of her head and she was having trouble breathing.

Shen Wan was in so much pain that tears came out of her eyes, and Xie Jingyu loosened his grip a little, but the maids and old women didn't dare to get close, so they didn't notice anything was wrong.

Rumors that the Crown Prince was so angry at the Crown Princess that he vomited blood—

It will fall apart without being attacked.

After all, everyone in the Jingbei Palace knew Xie Jingyu's temper.

In the eyes of the servants, the Crown Prince is not someone who would vomit blood if angered, let alone vomit blood, and yet he can be so loving with the Crown Princess.

Even the princess didn't notice anything unusual, and believed Xie Jingyu's story about getting a stitch in the side and vomiting blood from practicing. "How could he get a stitch in the side from practicing? Is it serious?"

Xie Jingyu said, "Didn't Mother see me? Does Mother think I'm seriously ill?"

The princess was relieved and said to Shen Wan, "Mother's old illness has not yet healed. The prince has been busy with military affairs these days. I originally planned to let Yu'er go with you to celebrate the birthday of Concubine Kang, but it seems that you have to go alone."

Shen Wan, “…”

Let her go alone?

She was now terrified when she heard the words "birthday banquet for Concubine Dowager Kang".

Could she not go?

Shen Wan didn't dare to say anything and could only look at Xie Jingyu.

Xie Jingyu said, "It's just a mouthful of blood. It's fine now. Wan'er and I will go to celebrate your birthday together the day after tomorrow."

The princess was a little worried. "Your health is more important. Don't force yourself. If you are worried about the Crown Princess, your mother will ask Mother Zhao to accompany you."

Xie Jingyu said, "Mother thinks I am too weak."

Going to celebrate a birthday was not a tiring task, and since it was the day after tomorrow, the princess did not say anything.
