Chapter 28: Yuan Xiu Niang

When the two of them got up again, the snow outside the yard had melted in the sun and was dripping down from the eaves.

"Drink some porridge, and then eat something else in the afternoon," Xie Jingyu fed him porridge spoonful by spoonful, just like when he was sick.

The servants watched closely. The princess was not sick this time. She was carried back to her room last night. It was self-evident what had happened.

"Your Majesty, which family are Lin Qingyu from?" Wei Qingcheng didn't mean to make Xie Jingyu jealous, it was just that Lin Qingyu's last name was too special.

The tragedy in the previous life...

"Why, do you want to eat porridge these days?"

Xie Jingyu held a spoon in his hand and frowned in anger.

"Oh, you... stop messing around. I have something important to discuss with him. The prince is the best in my heart, and no one else can compare to him. Be good and tell me now!"

Since what happened last night, Wei Qingcheng has figured out Xie Jingyu's temper. As long as she gives in and says nice things, everything will be easy.

Several servants could hardly hold back their laughter when they heard the princess' coaxing tone, but they still restrained themselves, fearing that if they were not careful, the prince's majesty would no longer exist.

"Well, Lin Qingyu is the second son of the Prime Minister, and he has an older brother."

When Wei Qingcheng heard the Prime Minister's words, her heart skipped a beat. As expected...

The first time he saw Lin Qingyu, he felt that his eyes looked familiar. Now, everything was clear.

In his previous life, Prime Minister Lin's house was confiscated and his family was forced to parade through the streets. He saw Lin Qingyu on the execution cart.

He was wearing prison clothes, his hair and boots were covered with egg liquid, his round black eyes were dull and lifeless, and he was completely different from the person he is now.

He has started over again, and met Lin Qingyu again by chance, so he can't just sit back and watch!

"Take another sip. Didn't you complain about sore throat this morning? It's a good time to moisten it."

Seeing him in a daze, Xie Jingyu pressed down her eyelids and smiled evilly.

"Your Highness!" Wei Qingcheng snatched the spoon from his hand and drank her porridge. She didn't want to pay attention to him. Ever since he started eating meat, this man's mouth has been unruly.

People's hearts will change, and their desires will only expand infinitely. Xie Jingyu firmly believes in this, and now this has been verified on himself.

In the previous life, Wei Qingcheng had never cared about him like this, nor had she married him in a formal ceremony with a sedan chair carried by eight people. She could only watch from afar and wish for him to be happy.

In this life, the bright moon hanging high in the sky tilted towards him. He gradually felt the taste of mutual understanding and was no longer satisfied with just guarding.

Even when Wei Qingcheng mentioned Lin Qingyu again and again, evil ghosts arose in her heart.

Just shout, lock him up, keep him in the palace, make him a bird in a cage, let his eyes only look at you...

In the evening, the Dali Temple sent a messenger to say that Yan agreed to sign and seal, admitting that she was jealous of Concubine Xin and had murdered Wei Qingcheng.

Xie Jingyu wanted to go by himself, but Wei Qingcheng insisted on going. He asked Song Rui to put a cushion on the carriage, and the two of them set off.

"Your Highness, tell me, Yan kept crying foul before she agreed, and she refused to sign despite all the suffering she endured. Why is she suddenly willing now?"

Wei Qingcheng sat on Xie Jingyu's lap, thinking that Xie Jingyu was really doing too much. He had already planned to hold her in his arms all the time, and even pretended to add a cushion.

"Maybe someone is giving her a hard time. We'll know when we get there."

"Um,"

The two met the jailer, took the key and went to the cell where Yan agreed to stay.

Yan promised that she would not be as panic-stricken as she was on the day of the hunt. Instead, she had a calmness that made her ready to die without hesitation.

There were two empty bowls on the floor of the cell, which showed that Yan agreed to have a full meal before they came.

Seeing them coming, she ignored them, holding a piece of clean silk in her hand.

Wei Qingcheng and Xie Jingyu looked at each other, Wei Qingcheng squatted down and looked at Yan Ying at eye level: "I know you were wronged, why did you sign?"

"I'm not wronged, I just want to kill you!" Her hair was messy but her face was clean.

Xie Jingyu grabbed her neck and said, "Say it again!"

The moment Yan agreed, he seemed to see Sun Yanhong in his previous life.

"Jingyu let her go, she is not the murderer,"

Xie Jingyu regained his senses and let go.

Yan agreed while laughing and breathing heavily: "Ahem, if you kill me, you will never know the truth in your life. If that person fails to achieve her goal, she will come back to kill you..."

"It's obviously not you, why are you confessing? You are so stupid, covering up for a murderer, but if you tell us, the prince and I can save your life."

As long as there is a way to survive, who wouldn't want to live? Wei Qingcheng patiently persuaded

Yan agreed and laughed even louder, as if she was laughing at his stupidity: "How can a discarded pawn save his life? Will he be killed again after he gets out?"

"Does your mother know that you're in prison? She must be very worried, right?"

As a human being, you will be entangled by worldly emotions. The emperor has no love. Wei Qingcheng wants to try family affection.

“Hahaha, they say he’s been abandoned, why would anyone care?

The abandoned child of the entire family, what are you talking about my mother? She just came and brought me two big bowls of my favorite rice, which she made herself.

Hahahaha, I thought I was going to die and she finally loved me for once, guess what?

She came to give me my last meal, asking me not to bring shame to the family. She used this piece of silk to wipe my face.

When I was a kid, she never wiped me..."

Yan was still the innocent one who agreed. Wei Qingcheng only said one word and she told the truth.

There is no greater sorrow than a dead heart. This is probably the case.

She was tired of crying, so she stood up and threw the silk toward the window of the cell. The silk flew away with the wind.

She said with relief: "Mother, this time I don't want you!"

"Come with us. The palace is in need of a maid who can embroider. Are you willing?"

Wei Qingcheng looked at Xie Jingyu. The two of them looked at each other from a distance, and their minds were connected.

"good!"

One night later, Yan in prison agreed to commit suicide, and a new embroiderer named Yuanyuan appeared in the palace...

This is the new name Yan agreed to give herself. She said that the word "Yuan" means "beloved daughter" when it is separated, which is a beautiful expectation for the afterlife.

From then on, she was no longer the daughter of the Yan family, but only the embroiderer of the Hexuan Palace...

"Tsk, we still don't know who that person is. Yuanyuan said she actually didn't know either, and she was just pretending to be tough at first."

Wei Qingcheng took a bite of the lotus crisp and continued to discuss the matter with Xie Jingyu.

"Yuanyuan? Qingcheng calls me so affectionately. How can Qingcheng be so nice to everyone? I am going to be jealous."

Xie Jingyu ate a petal of the lotus crisp to vent his anger.

Wei Qingcheng pushed the plate towards him, signaling Xie Jingyu to share the meal.

"Okay, okay, Yuan Xiu Niang, Jing Yu, don't be jealous. I will be careful in the future and won't make you jealous.

This was also the first time I was with someone as a lover, so I was inevitably a little careless.

Don't be angry, I will get used to it slowly."

As he said that, he hugged Xie Jingyu's neck. Xie Jingyu's heart suddenly blossomed, and he just hugged him and patted his back.

"It's so annoying to talk to Qingcheng. She makes me blush and my heart beat fast after just a few words. What should I do in the future? Will I get sick?"

He chuckled and teased the person in his arms.

"Then I won't say anything more. I'm going to eat. Your Highness, take care of your health slowly and don't get sick again!"

Wei Qingcheng pouted her red lips, pushed the person away, and went back to eating the lotus cake. No matter how Xie Jingyu coaxed her, she refused to speak.

Xie Jingyu laughed out loud at his cute and naive appearance, and took him into his arms...
