Chapter 697 Comic Victim
Mu Qing silently turned his gaze to the comic book rack and glanced at Hu Xin'er again. The meaning in his eyes was very clear: "Another comic book victim."
Hu Xiner covered her face. The eldest princess had been poisoned by her comics for a long time, and there was no sign of her waking up yet.
She paused and explained, "Yun Jue is in Qingzhou City. He got to know Miss Du, so we decided to marry him to the Du family as a son-in-law. He is currently in Qingzhou City. Calculating the time, the wedding should have been completed."
From the moment the princess uttered her first word, she became increasingly shocked. "The wedding is over? You, as his brother and his wife, are truly incompetent. You actually let him get married alone?"
She looked at Mu Qing, not knowing whether she was lamenting her lost youth or was shocked and angry that Lu Yunjue looked down on her and found another woman to marry.
Hu Xin'er said calmly, "He's already someone else's son-in-law, and they're the only son in their family for nine generations. Why should we worry so much about it? What's more..."
Mu Qing continued, "Besides, wasn't it because you issued the urgent imperial edict that we had to hurry back?"
The princess coughed and started drinking her tea. "Well, the main reason is that we didn't know you had such an urgent matter. It's all Zhao Yunxuan's fault!"
Mu Qing coldly retorted, "If it weren't for your orders, how would Young Master Zhao dare to treat us like this?"
"Are you done yet?" The eldest princess put her hands on her hips in anger. "If you keep saying that, I'll throw you out of the palace and monopolize Xin'er every day, leaving you alone in your empty room!"
This move was indeed a bit cruel. Mu Qing stopped talking, but the look in his eyes when he looked at Hu Xiner was very melancholy.
Hu Xiner saw that the flames of war had spread to her head again, and she felt her head was as big as a bucket: "You all should calm down first, this is not the point!"
After she said this, the originally lively atmosphere in the room suddenly became silent. The three of them no longer wanted to interrupt. They thought of those heavy things and were unable to say a word.
Sometimes laughing and joking are just a disguise, but only disguise can make people forget their troubles for a short time.
After the skin was torn off, the bloody reality made everyone reluctant to face it.
Things have changed and people have changed, that's probably what it feels like.
"It would be good if he could marry and have children in Qingzhou." The princess drank her tea in one gulp. "After all, there are so many handsome men in the world. Even if he's gone, there will be an endless supply of new handsome men. The capital is already full of people who flock to Zhao Yunxuan. What's the point of the Four Young Masters of the Capital?"
"What about you?" Hu Xiner also thought of a topic that had been buried in her heart for a long time.
She stared at the eldest princess closely: "Are you still thinking about Erdong?"
The eldest princess's fingertips trembled slightly, and she clenched her teacup in an almost awkward manner. "Why should I think about him? He doesn't like me anyway. A rebellion reveals a lot about people's true colors."
The night after the prince escaped was also the most unforgettable time in her life.
It's useless to think about some people. After all, no matter how much you think about them, they will never come back.
Even if we meet, we will just have a quarrel as usual. It would be better not to meet.
"The past cannot be retrieved. We must always look forward." She forced a smile. "That's what your comics taught me."
Hu Xiner's eyes were filled with heartache.
She understood that if it wasn't for Erdong, how could Yue'er dismiss all her lovers and remain calm when she heard that her former lover had married?
It is nothing more than once you have seen the sea, and nothing else can compare to the puddles. Nangong Yue found that no matter who she was with, she was not as moved as she was with Erdong. Only then did she finally understand her own feelings.
But this feeling has come too late.
She thought for a moment and said, "Actually, when I was going to Qingzhou, I passed by a temple. Erdong had already gone to another world..."
In that world, Erdong might be fighting on the battlefield. After all, it is impossible for him to be a military doctor.
I don’t know if he would look up at the same bright moon and think of the woman in the distant palace who had an unbreakable bond with him.
"Now that he's gone, is there any way for him to come back?" the eldest princess couldn't help but ask.
Hu Xin'er exhaled: "Generally speaking, it's impossible to come back."
It was rare for her to see the princess so depressed, so she cheered herself up and tried to infect her with her own happiness: "I've been talking about me all the time. What about you? How are you feeling in the palace?"
The eldest princess then spoke of her own recent situation: "Ever since you left, father has become secretive. He's either searching for elixirs or worshipping memorial tablets. He's also become much more clingy, but he still refuses to go to the harem."
She suddenly remembered something, the near-despair of suffocation beneath the palace walls that day. A pang of pain pierced her heart, and she said gloomily, "After the deposed Crown Prince rebelled, Mother was deeply saddened and bedridden. She hasn't fully recovered yet."
"Wasn't the Queen always in good health?" Hu Xin'er asked worriedly, "Why did she suddenly become ill?"
The eldest princess smiled bitterly and said, "Although the deposed crown prince is the late queen's son, he was also raised by my mother. We grew up together, and my mother has a deep affection for us. Now he has acted like this, even nearly killing me... How can I not be heartbroken?"
The two best friends met again after a long separation, and their conversation lasted from day to night.
After dinner, the eldest princess wanted to stay in Yime Pavilion and chat with them, and even wanted to drive Mu Qing away.
Mu Qing had been coaxing the little girl for a long time, but after hearing this unreasonable request, he threw the princess out.
"Bang!" A figure flew out and hit Merlin at the door.
The princess got up from the ground. Although she was not injured and did not feel much pain, she was still furious and cursed: "Mu Qing, you are such a petty man. You have occupied her for so long, and now you are trying to stop us from meeting!"
"We are a proper married couple!" After saying this, the palace door slammed shut. Mu Qing shook the little ball in his hand and said solemnly, "My lady, let's go to bed."
Hu Xin'er was secretly laughing at their elementary school bickering. Upon hearing this, she smiled and said, "Okay, then we'll sleep with Xiaotuanzi?"
Xiao Liu, who had just finished clearing the teacups, came over and took the little girl away with a smile. "Master and Madam, please go and get busy first. The side hall has been cleared, and the wet nurse and the others are already in place."
Hu Xin'er was led inside by the hand and asked blankly, "When were you ready?"
Mu Qing said silently, "When you were discussing with the eldest princess which of the concubines in the mansion was the most beautiful."
Hu Xin'er looked up at the sky, pretending she couldn't hear anything: "Otherwise, you should just avoid us girls next time we have a chat."
