Chapter 63 Xie Xuanyin, are you worried about me?
Perhaps they didn't expect Shen Ruoli to suddenly wake up and make such a... bold and absurd move!
Xie Xuanyin was so startled that he cried out and stood up, "Shen Ruoli!"
To cover his embarrassment, he gritted his teeth, "What are you doing! How dare you deceive me! How dare you!"
He knew it! How could a selfish woman like Shen Ruoli risk her life for him?
She was faking it all!
He suddenly pulled his hand back, almost causing Shen Ruoli to fall off the bed!
"Thank you, Xuan Yin!"
Shen Ruoli hurriedly grabbed the edge of the bed, feeling dizzy and lightheaded, and leaned against it. "Is this how you treat patients?!"
Xie Xuanyin's expression changed, and he quickly helped her up.
Shen Ruoli looked up, her little face full of triumph.
"Xie Xuanyin, you still care about me, don't you?"
"You lied to me again?!"
Enraged, Xie Xuanyin pushed her back onto the bed, then took several steps back, glaring at her warily and displeased.
Sure enough, this woman must be a fox spirit in disguise!
He vowed never to be deceived by her again, but time and time again he was manipulated by her!
wrong.
Shen Ruoli just said that he still cares about her?
"When have I ever cared about you! Don't flatter yourself!"
Xie Xuanyin gritted his teeth, but his ears turned red.
"Xie Xuanyin, you're thoroughly accustomed to it."
Shen Ruoli leaned against the headboard, laughing and teasing him.
Even though she was sickly at the time, her smile was still bright, making Xie Xuanyin unable to take his eyes off her!
He suppressed the pounding in his heart and slowly sat back down by the bedside. "You've taken too much of a risk! What if Physician Liu and the others don't come up with an antidote and keep you safe for now? What will you do then?"
Is Your Highness worried about me?
"Yeah, I'm worried you won't die."
Xie Xuanyin feigned calmness and looked away.
"Xie Xuanyin, you're just being stubborn."
Shen Ruoli disagreed, "But don't worry, I really won't die. Even if Physician Liu and the others fail to concoct an antidote, I have something to save my life."
After all, the poison that Hongyan possessed was something she personally brought back from Fuzhou!
In her previous life, Empress Sun was poisoned by a beautiful woman.
However, the dosage was controlled extremely well, and Empress Sun's poison seeped into her internal organs little by little, day by day.
At first, nothing seemed amiss, and even the imperial physicians could only conclude that Empress Sun had a chronic illness, and that she was growing increasingly haggard and weak.
He died from the poison!
By then, Shen Ruoli had already successfully retired, and no one could trace her back to Shen Ruoli.
A trace of guilt flashed in Shen Ruoli's eyes when she thought of Empress Sun.
She whispered, "I'm sorry for making you worry."
"Um?"
Xie Xuanyin's eyes flickered slightly.
"It was my own decision, and I made you worry. It was my fault."
Shen Ruoli forced a smile. "But we've achieved our goal, haven't we?"
As the saying goes, only the person who wronged you knows how wronged you really are!
This is the case with Shen Ruoli and Song Xuerou.
In her previous life, Xie Xuansong used her to cause the deaths of Empress Sun, Xie Xuanyin, and the Shen family.
In this life, she will use Xie Xuansong's method to return all of this to him!
When will the King of Chu return to the capital?
Shen Ruoli asked.
"What? Missing him?"
Xie Xuanyin gave her a cold glance.
Shen Ruoli: "...Xie Xuanyin, are you really not afraid that you'll drive me crazy?"
She risked her life for him, and he still doubts her!
"sorry."
Xie Xuanyin was quick to criticize her, and surprisingly, he apologized just as quickly.
He had originally planned to say a few more sarcastic things to her, but seeing how weak she looked, he couldn't bring himself to say the words.
He looked away. "Originally, Father Emperor planned to summon Xie Xuansong back to the capital on Mother Emperor's birthday. But what Father Emperor really wanted was for Xie Xuansong to stay in the capital legitimately after his return."
He certainly wouldn't let Xie Xuansong have his way!
"Therefore, I have instructed Feng Qing to immediately summon Xie Xuansong back to the capital!"
"So fast?"
Shen Ruoli was somewhat surprised, "Didn't you still want to leave him in Fuzhou to suffer more?"
Now that Xie Xuansong and Xie Yuanxun have fallen out, Xie Xuansong's life in Fuzhou is not easy.
Why did Xie Xuanyin let him come back so early? Wasn't it to help him escape his suffering?
"The Princess Consort of Chu is seriously ill, so her husband naturally needs to return to the capital to visit her as soon as possible. It's possible that this will be the last time the two of them meet."
Xie Xuanyin gave a half-smile.
Shen Ruoli asked in confusion, "Is the Princess Consort of Chu seriously ill?"
She was only unconscious for half a day, so how did Song Xuerou become seriously ill?
Before she could figure it out, Xie Xuanyin stood up and said, "I have important matters to attend to. You should rest well. Since the incident happened in the Imperial Study, you can stay here without worry."
Every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt its debtor.
The fact that Shen Ruoli got into trouble right under Xie Yuanhe's nose means her father should be held responsible!
This is a perfect opportunity for Shen Ruoli to properly "correct" her father's biased habit!
Just thinking about Xie Yuanhe's helpless state when Shen Ruoli angered him made Xie Xuansong's lips curl into a smile.
"I'll come and keep you company after I'm done with my work."
Xie Xuanyin didn't think much of it and blurted out those words.
It was as if he was comforting her, or as if he felt sorry for her.
Shen Ruoli's eyes lit up. "I understand what you mean! Don't worry, Father, I've got you covered!"
Xie Xuanyin: "..."
Okay.
Consider it as him "flirting with a blind man".
He frowned, then left without looking back, leaving Shen Ruoli completely bewildered.
"Why is he angry again all of a sudden? He really changes his attitude faster than the weather!"
No sooner had Xie Xuanyin left than Wang Luhai craned his neck to look inside from the doorway.
Seeing that Shen Ruoli had woken up, he was about to go and report to Xie Yuanhe when she called out to him, "Eunuch Wang!"
"Why!"
Wang Luhai put on a smile and hurried in, "Your Highness, you're finally awake! Is there anything else that's bothering you? Is there anything you need to tell me?"
Shen Ruoli pointed to the stool, indicating that he should sit down and talk.
Wang Luhai dared not, and stood aside with his whisk, chuckling dryly, "Hehe."
"sit down!"
Shen Ruoli frowned. "You're standing too tall. I have to look up to talk to you, it's tiring."
Wang Luhai suddenly realized what was happening, and quickly knelt down, saying, "Your Highness, what are your orders?"
"What's going on with the Princess Consort of Chu?"
Shen Ruo left the door and got straight to the point.
Wang Luhai was stunned for a moment, "What?"
The Emperor didn't give any instructions. If the Crown Princess asks about the Princess of Chu, how should he answer?
If this is not handled carefully, it could cause trouble for the Emperor!
"His Highness the Crown Prince just said that the Princess Consort of Chu is seriously ill?"
Shen Ruoli stared into Wang Luhai's eyes, "It's only been a day, what illness has Princess Chu contracted?"
"this……"
Wang Luhai stammered, his eyes darting around as he quickly considered how to answer.
As an old servant who had been by Xie Yuanhe's side for a long time, he quickly replied, "Your Highness, Princess Consort of Chu has fallen seriously ill today. Her condition has progressed rapidly, and she is currently unconscious! As for what illness she has, this servant truly does not know!"
"How about I go and inquire about it?"
Although his answer sounded foolproof.
But Shen Ruoli immediately understood: Song Xuerou's so-called "acute illness" was probably caused by Xie Xuanyin!
It seems that man isn't as cold and heartless as he appears!
Shen Ruoli's fighting spirit was rekindled. "Eunuch Wang, I heard that the King of Chu is about to return to the capital?"
Perhaps noticing the change in her gaze, Wang Luhai felt uneasy and cautiously asked, "Your Highness, why are you asking about this?"
Why did he always have this ominous feeling that he was "worried about the King of Chu"?
