After Xiao Ziwu left, Tianyun fainted.
Beside her, there were scattered pastry crumbs all over the floor.
...
When Xiao Ziwu was facing her, he was extremely perceptive. He noticed that her expression was a little strange after she heard the name Gu Beiye that day.
After reflecting on his actions, he realized that it was indeed his fault.
How can I mention other women's names in front of my precious baby?
If you put yourself in his shoes, he would also feel unhappy if his daughter mentioned other men in front of him!
Therefore, he went to Xinxiangyuan and bought a red date and linggao (a type of glutinous rice cake) to apologize to the young lady.
Today was not his day off, so he could only go to the military camp to clock in before climbing over the wall to the Siye Mansion.
Tianyun was completely unprepared, and since His Highness could now come and go freely in the Siye Mansion, and because of Shangguan Tianlin's unexpected presence, no one was notified.
That's why he overheard these words—
She already had a slight fever, and his cold attitude frightened her so much that she fainted.
Lingqi, that little girl, seemed to realize she had said the wrong thing. When she found Tianyun unconscious on the ground, she was terrified.
Now he spends his days in tears, confessing his sins to the unconscious girl.
"It's all my fault for speaking carelessly; I deserve to die!"
"You must not be harmed, or I will go with you!"
Yi Hua changed the wet gauze on the girl's forehead. Hearing Ling Qi's words, he slapped her on the head in an annoyed tone, "Aren't you Miss Zhou?"
"Yes, yes, yes, ptooey! I spoke without thinking, may the gods forgive me!" Lingqi slapped herself a few times, then burst into tears, unable to catch her breath.
Finally, she sobbed, "Miss has been unconscious for two days, and His Highness hasn't come to visit her. Is it really... that he's really neglecting her?"
Yi Hua exhaled a breath of stale air, but didn't know how to comfort this silly girl.
The young lady and the Third Prince have a very deep affection for each other, and it is impossible for them to break up so easily. However, there is a knot in their hearts, and if this knot is not untied, it may remain stuck in their hearts for a lifetime!
Neither of them noticed that when Lingqi said those words, another tear fell from the corner of the person on the bed's reddened eye.
※※※※
It's been three whole days and the girl still hasn't woken up, and she can't eat much of the rice porridge we feed her.
Her small, palm-sized face was thin with a pointed chin, and her long, ink-black hair cascaded down her back, reaching her slender waist, making her delicate face appear no bigger than a peach blossom in spring.
Her lips were pale and white, and even in her unconscious state, her brows were furrowed, as if she were having a nightmare and was sleeping very restlessly.
Lingqi's eyes were swollen like big walnuts. The girl was getting weaker and weaker, but seemed unwilling to wake up. She lay on the bed breathing weakly.
The master and mistress came four or five times and spoke to the girl at length, but they still couldn't bring her to her senses.
"How could she suddenly become so ill?" Qin sat by the bed, stroking her thin face with concern, her eyes full of heartache.
Upon learning that their youngest daughter had fallen ill because of the Third Prince, the Shangguan couple were speechless. They exchanged glances, unsure of what to do.
Qin raised her hand to wipe away her tears, "Could it be that the Third Prince... abandoned our Yun'er after starting a relationship?" She cried very sadly.
Shangguan Ming's expression was complicated, and he told her to stop talking. "Be careful what you say!"
Xiao Ziwu has been favored by His Majesty and is no longer the unknown Third Prince he once was. It was no surprise to Shangguan Ming that he would look down on Yun'er now.
I guess I'll just have to accept my bad luck!
Shangguan Ming said, "That's fine, let's not have any contact in the future."
Shangguan Tianlin frowned deeply. He believed that the Third Prince was not such a heartless and ungrateful person, and that the Third Prince had some unspeakable secret.
Therefore, I wanted to say a few words in defense of Xiao Ziwu.
"Father, Mother, let me ask the Third Prince for clarification. The truth may not be so. I still trust the Third Prince's character!"
"Shut up! Don't you dare bother His Highness!" What if the Third Prince thinks they're a family member and tries to cause trouble?
Shangguan Ming slapped him on the forehead in exasperation, "With this energy, you might as well find some famous doctors to come and examine your sister."
Once Yun'er recovered, he found her a good young man with a gentle character and a respectable family background.
Their family couldn't possibly be worthy of the Third Prince's family...
Yun'er has been unconscious for three days. If Xiao Ziwu abandons her again, she will definitely not be able to bear it.
He couldn't risk his daughter's life!
Shangguan Tianlin swallowed his anger and kept quiet. He was indignant, but dared not disobey his father's orders, so he could only rush out to find a doctor.
※※※※
After the Shangguan couple left, Lingqi was terrified. She was the only one who knew the truth and that the young lady was at fault, not that His Highness was heartless...
But now the disaster has already happened. Lingqi, with her swollen eyes, looked at the girl who was still unconscious with her brows furrowed and occasionally uttering painful murmurs. She inexplicably knew that only the Third Prince could bring the girl back to consciousness!
She made up her mind to go see the Third Prince without the master's knowledge!
But she was just a maid, and had no way of knowing where the Third Prince's newly built mansion was outside the palace. She also couldn't openly arrest people outside the military camp and ruin the young lady's reputation.
After much deliberation, he could only wait in vain in front of the Duan residence.
But the Third Prince never came...
As night fell, the tightly closed gates of the Duan residence finally opened slowly. Lingqi squatted by the steps outside the gate, looking up happily.
But instead of the Third Prince she longed for, she saw Shi Que staring at her with a questioning look. "Who are you? Why are you squatting at the door?"
Shi Que had been observing her for a long time. Seeing that she was dressed as a maid and lingered at the door for a long time, he wondered who she was looking for.
