Chapter 246: The Last Hope
Previously, there were many palace maids who fawned over her. Not only the maids in the Hehuan Palace, but also the maids in the side palaces and even the low-ranking concubines would come up to greet her when they saw her.
If I lower my standards and they hear it, wouldn't I lose all face?
Xiaoya's face turned pale and then flushed.
"What are you standing there for? When did you start dawdling like this?"
"This servant will tidy it up right away."
She gritted her teeth and went down to order the palace servants who were sweeping and cleaning.
Seeing that Chu Wan had almost finished her tea, Bai Qiu immediately and obediently took the porcelain cup. "This servant may be nosy, but I just noticed that Your Highness's complexion is not good. Is something troubling you?"
Upon hearing this, a dark glint flashed in Chu Wan's eyes. "Yes, His Majesty is angry with me. I'm trying to find a way to appease him."
Bai Qiu keenly noticed the change in her expression and knew that she was not completely trusted. She immediately nodded knowingly and glanced at the dishes on the table in the hall as if by accident: "Did Your Highness prepare this especially for His Highness Prince Mu? It is so exquisite. It is a pity that it has not been touched much. If I were Your Highness, I would be heartbroken."
These words immediately enlightened Chu Wan.
Yes, although that little bastard didn't vomit it out, what the Emperor heard was still said by her, just in a different way.
Chu Wan immediately changed her gloomy expression and cheerfully instructed, "Go to the kitchen quickly and tell them to add a few more dishes, according to the Emperor's usual preferences. Remember to send them over as soon as possible."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Bai Qiu accepted the order and went straight out of the Hehuan Palace. When she passed the corner, she heard a faint sound of vomiting. She paused for a moment and continued walking towards the Imperial Kitchen.
Seeing that she secretly made a hand gesture, Zhong Heng knew that things had gone smoothly, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief and walked back, feeling sorry for Yu Shiyan who kept vomiting.
"Why...why do this?"
Zhong Heng couldn't help but sigh after a long while, and spoke as if he were complaining.
Yu Shiyan pushed the spittoon aside and reached out his hand to Zhong Heng, who immediately took out a handkerchief and handed it to him.
Yu Shiyan's face was pale, and even the tip of his nose was covered in a fine sweat, but he said it lightly: "Never mind."
Zhong Heng immediately became anxious: "Your health is the most important thing. If this continues, I'm afraid your wound will reopen. Do you still have any hope for her, waiting for her to suddenly realize her mistakes and remember her family ties?"
Realizing that he had overstepped his bounds this time, Zhong Heng paused and fell silent.
Yu Shiyan slowly wiped away the fine sweat, but his slightly white knuckles betrayed his inner emotions.
He did give Chu Wan a chance.
But she always let go, pushing him into an even darker abyss, tearing apart his last remaining hope for his blood relatives.
Now that he has the little tit, he no longer needs that hope.
"She is content with the past, and seeing my unusual behavior today, she panicked and naturally took the second path."
Yu Shiyan gave a light chuckle, lifted his wide sleeves, pulled out the silver needle from the Neiguan acupoint on his wrist, put it back into the cloth bag, and rolled it up.
Seeing that he had a plan in mind, Zhong Heng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: "That's good. I was worried about you..."
"What, worried that I'm soft-hearted?" Yu Shiyan chuckled, his features clear and bright like a jade tree, yet the aura surrounding him sent chills down one's spine.
Yu Shiyan had no intention of wasting his time on unnecessary people. Clutching his chest, he suddenly frowned and said, "The wound does seem to have reopened a bit."
"Then I will go and fetch Physician Liu..."
As they were talking, Zhong Heng's brow twitched: "Let's go to Jianzhang Palace."
