Chapter 62 The prince is Shen Wuhui!
"What's wrong, cousin? Are you feeling unwell?" Lu Yu immediately asked with concern.
Song Lingyi groaned, "...My stomach hurts so much, I can't hold the pen anymore."
Pei Ling, who was sitting opposite, noticed the situation, called the maid softly and gave her a few instructions.
After a while, the maid quickly walked over to Song Lingyi and bowed, saying, "Miss, are you feeling unwell? My old lady has invited a doctor to come to the mansion to see you. He should be in the inner hall now. I will help you to the Begonia Pavilion to rest for a while, and then we will ask Doctor Duan to see you."
The opportunity to leave Sifang Pavilion was exactly what Song Lingyi wanted, so she immediately nodded and agreed.
Begonia Pavilion is close to the main hall in the front yard. Many flowers and trees are planted around the pavilion, such as jasmine, gardenia, rose, as well as large areas of weeping willows and banana trees. Various flowers and trees are scattered around.
There is a soft couch in the pavilion.
The maid helped Song Lingyi in and sat her down. Seeing that she was holding her belly and looked uncomfortable, she felt a little worried and called another maid to look after her.
"Miss Song, please wait here. I will go and get Doctor Duan."
After saying that, the maid quickly walked towards the front yard.
It was quiet inside the Begonia Pavilion, with the air filled with the faint fragrance of flowers. No one was looking for trouble, so Song Lingyi felt relaxed and happy staying here.
After about a quarter of an hour, voices were heard from the corridor outside the pavilion:
"Doctor Duan, please go faster. Miss Song is feeling unwell and is in great pain."
"Don't panic, don't panic. I followed you here before I even finished my drink. It was already fast enough."
The girl who was leaning on the couch sat up straight upon hearing the sound.
Why does this doctor's voice sound so familiar?
Song Lingyi stood up and looked towards the corridor, past the lush flowers and trees. Her beautiful eyes suddenly widened as the two approached!
The doctor beside the maidservant is Duan Congnan! It turns out that 'Doctor Duan' is him!
Instead of the joy of meeting old acquaintances, Song Lingyi felt only anxiety.
Although he didn't know how Duan Congnan had become a guest of honor at the Pei family, if he knew her identity, he would definitely tell the bandit leader. When the bandit leader came to collect the "debt", many things would be exposed.
No, we can't just sit there and wait for death.
Fortunately, the Begonia Pavilion was connected at both ends: one led to the front courtyard and the other to the garden veranda. While the maidservant wasn't paying attention, Song Lingyi lifted her skirt and ran in the opposite direction, so fast that it looked like she had seen a ghost.
When the maid brought Duan Congnan in, there was no one in the pavilion.
"Where is Miss Song?" the maid asked.
"He was here just now, and then he disappeared suddenly."
Duan Congnan flicked his sleeves and said, "That girl is quite flexible. I guess her stomachache is gone. I'll go back and continue drinking. Call me if you need anything."
…
At the same time, Song Lingyi walked quickly through the garden corridor. The large banana trees blocked some of the sunlight, and the breeze blew, making the corridor cool and comfortable.
"Your Highness, please come this way."
Uncle Pei's voice came from the gravel path in the yard, accompanied by the sound of footsteps, and several figures were approaching the corridor.
Your Highness the Crown Prince?
Song Lingyi paused, thinking of her cousin's evaluation of the prince and the quick glance she had on the street, she couldn't help but be curious about what the prince looked like.
She leaned over to look at the gravel path, but the moment she saw the face of the person in the lead, her expression changed drastically, and her little face became as white as snow.
The leader was dignified and dressed in a crimson jacquard brocade robe with intricate five-claw dragon patterns embroidered on the corners with silver thread. Most of his long, jet-black hair was tied up high with a jade crown. His familiar face contained a gentle smile, and he looked like a gentle gentleman, no longer the bandit who had once killed people like crazy.
The bandit leader is the prince, which is more absurd than a dream.
The girl pinched her palm and it hurt.
After a brief moment of daze, a huge sadness surged in my heart.
It turns out that the name 'Chen Wuhui' is fake, and the identity of 'bandit leader' is also fake. The people in Hutouzhai are not bandits, but soldiers under the command of the prince.
Everything makes sense.
No wonder they didn't want to give her a proper status and instead abandoned her in Hexian Tower...
The sound of conversation on the path was getting closer and closer. Without thinking too much, Song Lingyi immediately turned around and ran in the opposite direction. When she passed a corner, a hand suddenly reached out and dragged her into the corner.
The man covered her mouth, her back was a cold wall, and the thick shadows completely enveloped her like an airtight net.
It was not until Xiao Mingyi walked past and the footsteps became farther and farther away that Song Lingyi calmed down a little and slapped the hand of the person in front of her away.
"Why are you here?" she asked.
"I was just about to ask you something." The young man took a half step back, curling his lips in a wicked smile, "Why are you so flustered? Did you run into a creditor because you owed money?"
“…” Song Lingyi’s eyes flashed.
She must never let Lu Qian know that she had given herself to the prince before coming to Beijing.
He forced a calm smile and said, "No, I saw so many people, it's okay to show my fear."
"Showing your timidity?" Lu Qian looked at him with disdain, his auspicious eyes seemed to say, 'You also know how to show your timidity?'
Song Lingyi continued to argue: "The one who went before was the prince, not an ordinary person. I was afraid of being rude."
Lu Qian was silent for a few breaths, and his mind couldn't help but recall the time when Song Lingyi had just returned to the Duke's Mansion and the prince had come to Jinzun Tower looking for him with a portrait. Could it be that the person in the portrait was really Song Lingyi...
This girl has a lively and bold personality. She even dared to rob his carriage. It seems like she would be able to provoke the prince.
He is so panicked today, he must be afraid that the prince will seek revenge.
"Hey." Song Lingyi poked Lu Qian's arm and changed the subject. "Why are you here instead of staying in the inner hall?"
Lu Qian's eyes turned slightly, hiding the complex emotions in his eyes.
"Just taking a walk." His tone returned to his usual nonchalant tone. "Some time ago, the prince came to me with a portrait of a woman. The person in the painting looks a bit like you."
“…”Song Lingyi.
It can’t be that unlucky.
But why didn’t Lu Qian tell the prince?
Just as I was beginning to doubt it, the young man in front of me said, "But I think the person in the painting is much prettier. It's probably not you."
“…”
"Judging from His Royal Highness's attitude that day, the person in the painting must have offended him. You'd better avoid him from now on and don't rush to seek trouble."
Song Lingyi's eyelashes trembled violently, and she felt increasingly nervous. She clenched her hands beneath her sleeves and answered calmly, "I haven't offended His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, so why should I be afraid? His Royal Highness has great connections, and he must have already found the person in the portrait, but he just didn't say it."
"That's not necessarily true." Lu Qian snorted and finally reminded, "You'd better keep this matter in mind. Here's a little gossip: His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also took a portrait when he suppressed the bandits. You should know what happened to the bandits in Jiuhua Mountain, right?"
"..." Song Lingyi's breathing stagnated slightly.
Shen Wuhui's suppression of bandits is actually related to her?
Could it be that they thought she had defected to another group of bandits, and in a rage, they wiped out the bandit camp?
