"Shangguan Shu!"
"Shangguan Shu, wake up!"
Shangguan Shu suddenly opened his eyes, and there was confusion and pain in his scarlet eyes, which startled Zhao Ying.
Zhao Ying didn't want to wake him up because he was crying so hard.
To put it bluntly, even when his mother died, she never saw him cry so much.
"Ying'er..."
Shangguan Shu stared at Zhao Ying in a daze. The high fever had made him so unconscious that he forgot to think or react.
Zhao Ying responded, but just stood up and walked to the door, asked the maid to bring the medicine, and then returned to the bed.
Shangguan Shu regained consciousness. He looked at Zhao Ying eagerly, looking as pitiful as an unwanted stray dog. He opened his lips and said in a trembling voice, "Ying'er, is that you?"
Zhao Ying stared at him silently for a long moment, then said without blushing or panting, "I'm not you. I'm your mother. I knew you wanted to see the princess, so I transformed myself into her."
As she spoke, Zhao Ying touched Shangguan Shu's forehead with a handkerchief.
Well, it's still burning.
"Son, you have suffered..." Zhao Ying said, imitating the tone and expression of the old Duke's wife.
Shangguan Shu's pupils shrank when he heard this. After a while, he frowned slightly, his voice hoarse, and his eyes were filled with indulgence. "Ying'er, I'm sick, not stupid..."
Zhao Ying: ...
Zhao Ying stood up expressionlessly, "Since you're fine now, I'll leave."
After saying that, he turned around without hesitation.
"Don't go! Ah!"
There was a loud noise behind me, as if something fell off the bed.
Zhao Ying turned around and saw Shangguan Shu lying on the ground with his hand stretched out towards her, as if he was afraid that she would really leave, his eyes full of fear.
Zhao Ying took a deep breath and said helplessly, "Lie back down. I won't leave."
Hearing this, Shangguan Shu's eyes lit up, "Okay, I'll lie down."
Perhaps because of the high fever that made his limbs weak, Shangguan Shu climbed onto the bed slowly, looking very strenuous.
He lay down, covered himself with the quilt, and breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, I heard the maid outside the door say, "Your Highness, the medicine is ready."
Zhao Ying brought the medicine and fed it to Shangguan Shu personally. During the whole process, Shangguan Shu stared at her without blinking, his eyes as sharp as torches.
Zhao Ying glanced at him calmly and thought to herself, this look looks like Yue'er...
Shangguan Shu was reluctant to sleep after drinking the medicine, so he glared at Zhao Ying. Zhao Ying didn't say anything until he couldn't bear it anymore and fell asleep.
Zhao Ying stood up and left.
As I stepped out of the door, I saw a tall figure standing in the cold wind not far away.
Zhao Ying asked softly, "Cousin?"
The figure moved and walked towards her.
"I thought you wouldn't come out..."
Wei Fu looked somewhat lonely. He obviously had not expected that his original intention to expose Shangguan Shu's self-torture scheme would end up making Zhao Ying owe Shangguan Shu a favor.
Shangguan Shu is really...
Zhao Ying was surprised, "Why?"
"He became like this for you, won't you be soft-hearted?"
The words were out of his mouth, and it was too late for Wei Fu to take them back.
This kind of words makes him seem petty.
Zhao Ying didn't answer, but instead said, "You heard it just now. It was my father who asked me to stay."
So that's how it is...
Wei Fu's mood suddenly brightened. He knew that Yingmei was a decisive and straightforward person who would never change her mind once she made a decision.
Why would she still want to return to Shangguan Shu?
A light and happy smile appeared on Wei Fu's lips, but his gaze passed Zhao Ying and fell on the man standing alone at the door, wearing only a single piece of clothing.
With obvious provocation.
The man's gaunt body stood in the cold wind, but he didn't move at all, his chin slightly raised, his face calm, only a hint of emotion could be seen in his eyes, which were as dark as ink.
Everyone who knows him knows that Shangguan Shu is serious about this.
Receiving Wei Fu's provocation, Shangguan Shu's gaze did not linger, he glanced at him lightly and turned back.
The lights in the room were turned off, and it was as dark as an abyss. His figure quickly disappeared, as if being sucked in.
Zhao Ying seemed to have a premonition and looked back, but there was no one there?
Is she overthinking it?
"Sister Ying, let me take you back!"
"Wait a minute, cousin..." Zhao Ying took out the jade hairpin from her arms and handed it to Wei Fu.
When Wei Fu saw the hairpin, his eyes darkened.
"Cousin, I...I can't accept your hairpin..."
"The hairpin is very beautiful...but this is not in accordance with etiquette. You should give this hairpin to your future sister-in-law!"
Zhao Ying tried to speak as tactfully as possible.
Wei Fu clenched his hands at his side. After a long pause, he pretended to be cheerful and said, "You're quite considerate. I had no intention of giving it to you. If you hadn't insisted..."
Wei Fu swallowed his saliva, as if he wanted to swallow the bitter taste in his throat, and said, "I won't give you a gift either."
When Zhao Ying heard this, she immediately felt relieved. It turned out that she was overthinking it. She had just said that her cousin had been frank with her and that it was Shangguan Shu who was causing the trouble, so she had also overthought it.
Zhao Ying snorted and cursed with a smile, "Stingy!"
Then he walked away.
Wei Fu looked at Zhao Ying's back quietly. With a "bang", the jade hairpin broke.
The next morning, the two groups of people who hate to sleep the most, children and the elderly, met in the garden of the inn.
Shangguan Qingyue was delighted and rushed towards Emperor Jianxi, "Good morning, Grandfather!"
Emperor Jianxi picked up the little guy and asked, "Why are you up so early?"
"Yue'er wants to go see daddy, is he okay?"
When Emperor Jianxi heard this, his heart softened. How could his grandson be so filial!
The little guy asked again, "Grandfather, what are you doing?"
