Chapter 181 Rong Yue changed her mind about him
"Xie Yin!"
Prince Cheng, who had been silent just now, suddenly changed his expression and shouted, "How dare you talk to your mother?!"
Upon hearing this, Xie Yin angrily said, "Am I wrong? How can she look like my mother at all?!"
"She has always favored Song Tangning since she was little. Even after Song Tangning's parents died, everyone wanted to give in to her. Didn't I treat her well in the past? I only made a mistake once, and I didn't kill her, but Mother always lectures me about everything."
"How can I be her biological son? Where in the world is there a mother as biased as her..."
Before he could finish his words, Prince Cheng slapped him hard in the face: "Shut up, Prince!"
Seeing Xie Yin's face all red and swollen, as if he couldn't believe that he would actually hit him, Prince Cheng's eyes were dark and uncertain: "What nonsense are you talking about? She is your mother, you are not allowed to be rude to your mother."
Xie Yinwan didn't expect that at this time, his father would still protect his mother. It was clearly his mother's fault, but he actually hit him!
He covered his face and felt his gums loosening. He tasted a faint sweet and fishy taste in his mouth. His eyes were red and he looked at Princess Cheng fiercely, then turned around and ran out.
"Ayin!" Princess Cheng wanted to go forward and chase after him.
Prince Cheng stretched out his hand to stop her: "Ignore him, he just has a childish temper."
Seeing that Princess Cheng's face was extremely grim, Prince Cheng whispered, "Mother is not feeling well. Ah Yin is also upset, so he spoke without thinking. Don't bother with him. He didn't mean what he said just now."
His face was haggard, and he stretched out his hand as if he wanted to touch Princess Cheng's hair to comfort her, but when he got close, he seemed to remember her resistance to him. His hand remained suspended in the air for a moment, and then he withdrew it, but his expression was gloomy.
"I'll have someone watch over A Yin. Once he figures it out, he'll know you're doing this for his own good. You're pregnant now, and you must be tired from the journey back. Go and rest for a while. I'll stay here with Mother."
Princess Cheng looked at Prince Cheng, whose eyes were red but he pretended to be fine, and her heart wavered for a moment.
"Let me accompany you." Princess Cheng whispered.
Prince Cheng suddenly raised his head, as if hope had suddenly emerged from despair. He tried his best to turn his mouth towards Princess Cheng with a smile on his face: "No, your health is also important. Nothing can happen to you and the child."
He paused, then said,
"Niang Yue, I'm a little tired. Can I hold you for a moment?"
Princess Cheng looked at him without saying anything.
The eyes of King Cheng gradually darkened, and he smiled bitterly: "Forget it, you go and rest first..."
Someone suddenly approached him, and King Cheng's words were interrupted before he could finish them.
Princess Cheng put her arm around his waist. The long-lost soft jade in his arms made Prince Cheng stunned for a moment. The next moment, he suddenly hugged Princess Cheng tightly and lowered his head on her shoulder. After a moment, Princess Cheng noticed that her neck was wet.
"Mrs. Yue..."
"Don't be sad, mother will be fine."
Princess Cheng said something soothing softly.
Prince Cheng held her in his arms and hummed a low "hmm," as if his emotions had calmed down a bit. Before Princess Cheng could speak, he released her and gently stroked her hair. "Go back and rest. I have to go take care of my mother."
Princess Cheng said, "If mother wakes up, please send someone to call me."
"good."
Princess Cheng was indeed tired and lacked energy. She did not insist on staying by the old empress dowager's side, but led Nanny Jiang, Ayane and the others back to the main courtyard first.
Prince Cheng stood in the yard and watched her leave with deep affection. When the person disappeared outside, he withdrew his gaze and lowered his eyes, with a cold look in them.
Rong Yue changed her mind about him.
Prince Cheng had never felt Rong Yue's estrangement from him so clearly. They had slept in the same bed together for all these years, and he was familiar with every expression of Rong Yue. Her feelings for him were no longer as strong as before, and even had a hint of defensiveness and vigilance.
Even though they had just hugged each other, and even though he had used the old concubine's serious illness to soften her heart, he could still feel that Rong Yue was different.
How could she become so obvious in just one month? Who was responsible?
Song Tangning?
Or Gu Helian? !
The affectionate look on Prince Cheng's face disappeared completely, and his face became ferocious for a moment as he pinched his palm in his sleeve.
Did Gu Helian say something to Rong Yue, or did they really have an affair, and did Rong Yue rekindle his old feelings for her childhood sweetheart and "brother"?
…
After Princess Cheng returned to the main courtyard, the room was exactly as it was before she left, untouched. It was filled with her favorite incense, and the powder box she had used the day she left was still on the dressing table. She sat in the room with a complicated feeling in her heart.
Nanny Jiang said, "Princess, the prince seemed to be crying just now. I think the prince really knows his mistake, and he doesn't seem to be like what Mr. Gu said. Could it be that Mr. Gu and the others have misunderstood the prince?"
Princess Cheng touched the wet collar of her clothes at the edge of her neck, and thought of Prince Cheng crying just now, and she hesitated for a moment.
"After I returned, I saw that the palace had become quite desolate. The prince and the young master were both haggard. I'm afraid the gossip outside must have really hurt the young master's heart. The prince lost his job and I don't know when he will be released from house arrest. Even the old concubine is not sure if she can make it..."
As Nanny Jiang spoke, she sighed softly, feeling a little reluctant.
Seeing Princess Cheng's expression change, it seemed that she was moved by Nanny Jiang's words.
Ling Yin suddenly spoke up, "Madam Jiang, let's not talk about Prince Cheng's affairs for now. The princess's hand is injured. You are familiar with the mansion. Can you go get some clean water so I can bandage it for her?"
Nanny Jiang then remembered that Princess Cheng was injured and quickly slapped her forehead: "Look at my memory, I actually forgot something important. Miss Lingyin, you take care of the princess first, I will go get some water."
The door was wide open and Nanny Jiang hurried out. Ayane glanced over there and a figure followed her out silently.
However, Ayane didn't wait for Nanny Jiang to come back with water. She took out two porcelain bottles from her bosom and poured the contents of one of them onto Princess Cheng's bleeding finger.
"Princess, please bear with it for now."
The stinging pain made Princess Cheng's face turn pale.
Ayane took out some more medicine and applied it to Princess Cheng while whispering, "The wound is quite deep and will probably leave a mark. If the girl and Mr. Gu saw it, they would probably make a scene again."
She said with a hint of meaning, "You are pregnant, and this palace is surrounded by wolves. You must not let yourself get hurt again."
Princess Cheng lowered her head as she listened to Ayane's words: "What do you want to say?"
Lingyin looked up. "I just feel that you look so different from the last time I saw you. If I hadn't seen you in good health, I would have found it hard to believe that you could become so haggard in just one month. Although Master Gu can't see you every day, he can tell you've changed. I'm also worried about your weight loss, but what about Prince Cheng?"
Princess Cheng's expression changed, and she suddenly remembered how Xie Tianyu looked when she saw her after returning home today.
Ling Yin said softly, "I have only met you twice, yet I can still notice your changes. After sharing a bed with you for over ten years, if Prince Cheng really cared about you, he would not have failed to notice your changes. He would not have been so busy showing you affection and using the old concubine's illness to soften your heart, while forgetting your bloody hands."
