Zong Zhengchen returned to Mingyue Pavilion.

Xiao Zhihua was lying on the bed. She had just taken medicine and her face was pale. She saw the man weakly raising his body:

"Your Highness, ahem... this is all Hua'er's fault. Don't go looking for trouble with the princess..."

He coughed a few times after saying a few words, which was particularly heartbreaking.

The man frowned slightly, his face looked unhappy, he pursed his lips and sat down.

"Does the wound still hurt?"

"It won't hurt after applying the medicine. Hua'er's injury is not a big deal, but I don't want Your Highness to have a conflict with the Princess Sister because of Hua'er. I don't want the noise in the backyard to disturb Your Highness' mood..."

She is very sensible and always considers the prince and princess.

But when Zong Zhengchen thought of Qin Ye's rebellion and resistance, his brows furrowed even more.

If there ever comes a day when Qin Ye obeys, that will be the day when the sky falls.

"Take good care of your injuries. I will find a way to deal with your health problem. Even if I have to use the best medicine in the world, I will make you live a hundred years."

The man's deep voice made Xiao Zhihua's eyes suddenly red.

Touched, aggrieved, considerate, and sensible.

She looked at the man with tears in her eyes without saying anything, all the words were written in her slightly red eyes.

Suddenly, Han Feng came running in from outside the door, looking anxious:

"master!!"

He opened his eyes and saw Concubine Xiao there, then paused and said nothing.

Concubine Xiao was very considerate and said, "Chen, you go and do your work first. Hua'er will be fine after taking a rest for a while."

The man nodded, tucked the quilt for her, said a few words to her to have a good rest, then got up and left.

Outside the yard, in a quiet place.

"master……"

Han Feng opened his mouth, wanting to say something but stopping himself, his face looking a little ugly.

Zong Zhengchen frowned, "Why are you so hesitant?"

"Master, it's your business..."

Han Feng glanced in the direction of Mingyue Pavilion and lowered his voice a bit, "Some time ago you asked your subordinates to investigate your drowning ten years ago, and there is a result."

"When you fell into the water, an old woman passed by there. She saw that the person who saved you was... was..."

The cold wind hesitated, and the voice was heavy:

"It's the princess..."

"What did you say?!"

Zong Zhengchen was shocked, as if struck by a bolt from the blue. His mind went blank and he was completely stunned.

Is it Qin Ye?

The person who saved him back then was Qin Ye?

How could that be?

When he woke up, it was clearly Xiao Zhihua who was with him!

Han Feng continued, "The old nanny wanted to come to rescue you, but when she saw the princess rescue you, she fainted due to exhaustion. Concubine Xiao came over, and she had the princess moved away. She wet her clothes and lay down beside you."

"I created the illusion that I was saving you..."

Zong Zhengchen could no longer hear what Han Feng said afterwards.

At this moment, several images kept replaying in his mind:

——On the night of taking a concubine, Qin Ye’s inner voice: I was the one who saved you back then, what does it have to do with Xiao Zhihua?

——In the small side yard, Qin Ye roared: What's wrong with her lungs? She was just pretending, she had been pretending for more than ten years.

But in a rage, he didn't believe it, he didn't listen, and even forcibly dragged Qin Ye over to apologize.

The person who saved him that year was not Xiao Zhihua.

This means that there is no problem with Xiao Zhihua's lung.

It was equivalent to her weak coughing all these years was a deception to him.

Including the doctor who examined me just now, and what she said about shortening my lifespan by 30 years, all of it was fake...

After understanding all this, he was not angry at all. Instead, his mind was filled with that angry, disappointed face with the birthmark, and the woman's roaring voice:

——I won’t go over to apologize unless you kill me.

——I did nothing wrong. I didn’t hurt him. Why should I apologize?

——I want to separate from you.

Zong Zhengchen, I am leaving Prince Chen's Mansion today and will never come back!

Never coming back...

Won't be coming back...
