Chapter 193 The truth about life
Furong turned around and glared at Nanny Wu, "What on earth did you say to His Highness?"
Nanny Wu took a step back after being yelled at.
"Don't blame her."
Shang Xi said, stretched out his hand and grabbed the air, touched Furong's arm, and continued to repeat the words: "Go back home first."
Fleur supported him as they stumbled out of the room.
When going down the stairs, Shang Xi missed a step and fell forward.
"Your Highness!"
Furong hurriedly protected him with her body.
But Shang Xi was much heavier than Furong, so he pushed Furong to the ground with one blow, and her waist hit the stone steps. She hissed in pain and cold sweat broke out on her forehead.
Shang Xi got up and groped to help her.
Furong endured the pain and stood up: "I'm fine..."
The noise attracted Uncle Zhang and others.
"What's wrong, Your Highness?"
Shang Xi didn't want anyone to notice his abnormality, so he lowered his eyes and said, "I'm fine. I'm sorry to bother Uncle Zhang today. I have something else to do, so I won't stay to talk to Uncle Zhang. Madam Wu, you'll have to continue to look after me..."
Uncle Zhang noticed Shang Xi's expression was not right, so he did not try to persuade him to stay. "Of course not. Your Highness, please go and do what you need."
Furong supported Shang Xi and stumbled into the carriage.
The carriage was filled with the familiar smell of incense.
Shang Xi's back, which he had tried hard to straighten, gradually collapsed and leaned against the carriage. His beautiful eyes were now dull and even looked dazed because he could not see.
Furong was very worried and opened her mouth several times, but in the end, nothing came out.
She simply placed her hand on the back of his hand and squeezed it firmly.
Shang Xi didn't react much.
It seems to have lost the ability to perceive the outside world.
Even when he returned to the princess's mansion, he still looked half dead.
Furong helped him into the room and whispered, "Your Highness, I'll go get a doctor to see you..."
"No, I want to be alone..."
"But your eyes cannot wait..."
Shang Xi showed a hint of self-mockery on his face, "What can't be delayed..."
"Do you want to go to see your husband like this in the future?"
As soon as these words came out, the expression on Shang Xi's face finally changed. He fumbled around the edge of the bed with his fingers helplessly, and finally said softly, "Go."
Upon hearing this, Furong immediately went downstairs to arrange for someone to call a doctor.
After making the arrangements, she turned around and looked at Shang Xi, who was sitting on the bed in a daze. She sighed softly, "Your Highness, I'm right outside. Just call me if you need anything."
After saying that, he closed the door and walked out.
Shang Xi was still sitting on the edge of the bed, staring at the void with lifeless eyes, and there was darkness before his eyes.
He had always been curious about how Concubine Rong had been able to hide the fact that he, a man, had been disguised as a woman, entered into the royal family register, and raised him to adulthood.
Today I learned that the original Princess Duanhui was actually a girl...
That was his twin sister.
Like him, he was just a pawn used to preserve the late emperor's true bloodline...
From the way Rong Fei treats him, we can know how Rong Fei treats her sister.
When her elder sister died of a high fever when she was almost two years old, they used a trick to replace her with a younger one, sending her into the palace and continuing to raise her as Princess Duanhui.
However, the real prince who should have died grew up safely and smoothly, and even became the most famous first prince in Shengjing City.
Oh, how ridiculous...
Originally, he and his sister should have been the legitimate son and daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, growing up safely and healthily, perhaps even having a mother who loved them...
Unfortunately, everything is false...
As for Madam Shen, their original mother, he had heard some rumors about her, saying that she was a great beauty when she was young, but unfortunately she suddenly went crazy and died not long after.
Why did you suddenly go crazy?
It was obvious that she discovered something and was murdered by her husband.
Just for Shen Zhiyi, his mother and sister lost their lives, he lost his identity and freedom, and was trapped in the palace, taking every step carefully, just to find a way to survive.
He didn't even have his own name...
Abandoned by his biological father, hated by Concubine Rong, no one really cared about him...
The mother he admired since childhood was his enemy.
How ridiculous?
All his previous cognition was overturned, and he suddenly lost his direction. He didn't even know what to do now...
Perhaps everything he is doing now is just to prepare wedding dresses for Shen Zhiyi.
He doesn't want to give him a bargain...
He even wanted to perish along with Shen Shulan, Shen Zhiyi, and the entire Shen family by reporting these matters to the emperor.
But thinking of Xiao Ning...
He had to suppress these emotions.
We still have to take a long-term view.
He couldn't let Xiao Ning get involved...
He hasn't confessed his love to her yet, she hasn't seen his true appearance yet, and he himself doesn't even know what he will look like after he stops taking the medicine.
He really wanted to kiss her again.
He wanted to see the look on her face when she found out he was a man...
He wanted to see those pink lips become bright and juicy after being kissed by him...
He missed her, so much...
Shang Xi fumbled to pick up the wooden sculpture, held it tightly in his hand, and pressed it against his chest.
It seems that only in this way can he gain strength and have the energy to continue to deal with what is coming next.
“Knock knock knock…”
There was a knock on the door, bringing Shang Xi back to his senses.
"Your Highness, the doctor is here."
"Come in."
Shang Xi said, putting the wooden carving back on the low cabinet, folding his hands in front of his knees, and straightening his shoulders.
The door opened and Furong came in with the doctor.
After taking the pulse, the doctor sighed, "Your Highness, this is a temporary blindness caused by great grief. It's not a serious problem. I will prescribe some calming medicine for you. However... Your Highness should relax and take it easy. Otherwise, you will die sooner or later..."
Furong glanced at him and said to the doctor, "Thank you for your help. Please come this way."
Furong took the doctor away, and Shang Xi was left alone in the room again.
He looked at the dark room, clenched his fists, and finally let out a deep breath.
Yeah, he needs to relax.
So what if Shen Zhiyi is the real prince? As long as Shen Zhiyi is killed, he will be the only son of the late emperor.
Doesn’t he want to be Shen Zhiyi? Then let him be Shen Zhiyi for the rest of his life. Even after his death, he should still carry on the identity of Shen Zhiyi.
After a long time, Furong came in with a bowl of medicine.
"Your Highness, it's time to take your medicine."
Furong knew that Shang Xi was not in a convenient position at the moment, so she wanted to feed him the medicine, but he fumbled to take the medicine bowl from her hand, tilted his head back and drank it in one gulp.
Seeing this, Furong quickly brought the plate of candied fruit to him.
"Your Highness, please have some candied fruit to sweeten your mouth."
Shang Xi took out a candied fruit from the plate and put it in his mouth, chewing it.
"The preserves don't seem sweet enough this time."
Furong sighed silently. It wasn't that the candied fruit wasn't sweet enough; it was clearly His Highness himself who was feeling bitter...
Although I don't know what Nanny Wu said to His Highness, but looking at His Highness's expression...
Furong felt that Shang Xi might not be of royal blood.
But it doesn't matter whether it's true or not. His Highness will always be her only master.
We will be together through life and death, never leave each other.
