Chapter 69



Qin Peng slept soundly all night long. When she woke up, she suddenly found herself in Qin Shuhuai's arms.

Qin Peng was stunned for a second, and she began to think seriously, how did she get up there?

She looked at Qin Shuhuai suspiciously, but seeing that he was still seriously injured and unconscious, he didn't look like he could get up and carry her. She guessed that maybe he didn't sleep well, so he climbed onto the bed instinctively?

Thinking of this, she hugged Qin Shuhuai's forehead and tried it with her own forehead. After confirming that Qin Shuhuai no longer had a fever, she got up from the bed carefully.

As soon as she turned around, Qin Shuhuai smiled silently, rubbed the quilt with his face, squinted his eyes and continued to sleep to catch up on his sleep.

It was already noon, and the servants were standing outside. Qin Peng walked out and told someone to quietly bring him some toiletries. He then asked someone to cook porridge and boil some medicine, then went into the room and washed himself.

The sound of her washing woke Qin Shuhuai up. Qin Shuhuai couldn't sleep anymore, so he just opened his eyes.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he felt something was wrong. All he saw was a blur of white, and nothing seemed clear to him.

He couldn't help but feel a little flustered: "Peng Peng? Zhao Yi? Jiang Chun?"

As he spoke, he tentatively stood up.

There was nothing in front of him, he waved his hands in the air, and said anxiously, "Someone come!"

Qin Peng was rinsing his mouth. When he heard the sound, he spat out a mouthful of water and hurried back to the inner room, shouting, "Call the doctor!"

As he spoke, he came to Qin Shuhuai and asked anxiously, "What..."

"Peng Peng!"

Qin Shuhuai pulled her into his arms. The warmth of Qin Peng's body calmed Qin Shuhuai down. He hugged her and said nothing more.

Now that someone had arrived, he was no longer in a hurry. Qin Peng was stunned for a moment and wanted to push him away, but in the end, his concern got the better of him and he suppressed his panic and asked, "What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

"It's okay," Qin Shuhuai calmed down at this moment, and his tone was also calm: "Let Mo Jing come in, it should be the residual poison that has not been eliminated, I can't see anything."

Qin Peng's heart skipped a beat. Qin Shuhuai seemed to sense her uneasiness. He closed his eyes in her arms and said comfortingly, "Don't worry. It should be fine soon."

"Um……"

Qin Peng lowered his eyes. At this time, Mo Jing rushed in. He glanced at Qin Peng inconspicuously. Qin Peng stepped aside and made room for him.

As soon as Qin Peng moved, Qin Shuhuai grabbed her.

"Peng Peng," Qin Shuhuai said in a gentle voice, "Stay by my side. I have something to tell you."

As he spoke, he held her tightly and did not let go. Even if Qin Peng really wanted to leave, she could not.

Qin Peng could only accompany him. Mo Jing examined Qin Shuhuai for a while, then heaved a sigh of relief and said, "The remaining poison has not yet been eliminated. Follow the prescription I prescribed and you will be fine in two months."

Qin Shuhuai nodded, and Mo Jing looked up at Qin Peng and said directly, "Princess, please take care of me these days."

Qin Peng: “???”

There are so many people in Huai'an Palace, why did this old man go directly to her?

She was about to refuse, but Mo Jing stood up and said, "Madam, I'm leaving first."

After saying that, Mo Jing ran away.

Qin Shuhuai suppressed his smile and said gently, "Princess, please help me wash up."

"Oh no..." Qin Peng was a little annoyed: "I just saved you, why do you rely on me? There are so many people in your house, wait, I will call Jiang Chun over!"

As he spoke, Qin Peng went to pull Qin Shuhuai's hand. Qin Shuhuai remained calm and said gently, "Since I met the princess, I first fell off a cliff and broke my legs, and now I was hit by an arrow and blinded. Princess, don't you think that you should be responsible for this?"

Qin Peng froze.

She suddenly felt that what Qin Shuhuai said made sense. This man had never been well off since she showed up. She pondered for a moment and said, "What the prince said is very true. I thought about it and it might be that the prince and I are incompatible. Otherwise, I..."

"So the princess should take care of me."

Qin Shuhuai anticipated what she was going to say, and said decisively: "If the princess feels that it is okay to not take care of me, then I think that the assassination should be thoroughly investigated. I will let Jiang Chun issue a wanted order first, and must bring Bai Zhi back for interrogation. What do you think, princess?"

Qin Peng: “…”

She now hoped that Bai Zhi could honestly return to Beiyan and go back to be with Xia Houyan. Bai Zhi should not interfere in her affairs.

Qin Peng took a deep breath and forced a smile.

"I think it's better for me to take care of the prince. Bai Zhi is my subordinate, I will just send someone to catch him."

Qin Shuhuai smiled, holding her hand tightly, and said in a softer voice, "What do you want to eat? I'll ask the chef to make it for you."

Since they were going to take care of Qin Shuhuai, they would naturally try to get as much good as they could. Qin Shuhuai's chef, Qin Peng, had been thinking about him for a long time, so he decisively wrote out a long list.

She was worried about eating too many things. She couldn't remember them all. Qin Shuhuai just listened with a smile. When she finished, he asked in front of the stunned faces of many attendants, "Are you done?"

"Uh... that's all for now."

Qin Shuhuai nodded, and the attendant who was taking notes beside him immediately knelt down and said in a trembling voice: "Prince..."

"What's wrong?"

Qin Shuhuai recognized that it was Jian Mo, who served him specially, and felt a little strange. Jian Mo said with difficulty: "The princess spoke too fast and too long just now, Jian Mo didn't remember it all..."

"Uh..." Qin Peng was just talking nonsense, not wanting to embarrass anyone. Just as he was about to say forget it, he heard Qin Shuhuai say, "In the morning, we'll have longan and lotus seed porridge, soup dumplings, and cold mixed shredded vegetables, plus an osmanthus coconut cake. For lunch..."

Qin Shuhuai spoke slowly and steadily, dividing all the dishes she had just mentioned according to the time of day, picking out the appropriate ones, and deciding what to eat for three meals a day.

Jian Mo was taking notes frantically, feeling a little hopeless as he did so. Was this how they were going to live from now on?

Qin Shuhuai finished speaking, took a sip of tea, waited for a while, and looked up and asked, "Have you finished memorizing?"

"I've finished."

Jian Mo breathed a sigh of relief: "I'll ask someone to prepare the meal."

Qin Shuhuai nodded, and the servant came forward to help Qin Shuhuai wash up.

Qin Shuhuai couldn't see, and the servants were all men, so they were stumbling around. Qin Peng couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so he took over, helped Qin Shuhuai wash up, and helped Qin Shuhuai change his clothes.

As she half-knelt to tie Qin Shuhuai's belt, Qin Shuhuai lowered his eyes, imagining what this person looked like.

They were like this when they were newly married.

He suddenly felt that the past six years were worth it, and all the suffering at this moment made him feel that it was actually not important.

Qin Peng helped him dress and tie his hat. After she finished all this, she breathed a sigh of relief and said directly, "Let's go."

After saying that, she turned and left. However, after taking only two steps, she found that Qin Shuhuai did not follow her. Then she suddenly remembered that he was blind.

She sighed helplessly, turned back, and pulled his sleeve: "Come on, follow me."

Qin Shuhuai nodded and followed her closely.

Qin Shuhuai walked slowly, so Qin Peng slowed down his pace and followed him. However, Qin Shuhuai still accidentally stepped on empty air and almost fell down.

Fortunately, Qin Peng was quick and held him, and Qin Shuhuai finally stabilized his body.

"Your Highness," Qin Shuhuai raised his eyes, with a look of helplessness on his face: "Can I hold your hand?"

Qin Peng pursed his lips and finally said, "Pull it."

Qin Shuhuai had a smile on his face, but he was still trying to hold it back. He held Qin Peng's hand in his palm. Qin Peng didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Is this how you pull it?"

"What else can I do?" Qin Shuhuai tilted his head, as if he really didn't understand. Before Qin Peng spoke, he added, "I only pulled my wife. This is how I pulled my wife."

Qin Peng was speechless for a moment, and after holding it in for a long time, he could only say: "I am not your wife!"

Qin Shuhuai nodded, with a calm face: "I know, what I mean is that I will only lead the girl in this way, no matter if this girl is my wife, not my wife, or my future wife."

Qin Peng: “…”

She raised her eyes and felt helpless. Qin Shuhuai was shameless and there was really nothing she could do about him.

After holding Qin Peng's hand, Qin Shuhuai walked steadily, so it was not difficult for Qin Peng to guess how he fell just now.

She thought Qin Shuhuai was a little childish, but she didn't care about such a childish person.

The two of them sat at the dining table. Qin Shuhuai picked up the chopsticks and tried to pick up anything, but couldn't. He paused, sighed, and simply put them down.

Qin Peng thought she had to be tougher, so she pretended she saw nothing and held on until she was full. Qin Shuhuai heard her put down her chopsticks and asked, "Are you full?"

"I'm full!" Qin Peng sighed, "Your chef is really good."

"Princess, you can eat it all the time in the future." Qin Shuhuai said meaningfully: "There is no need to rush for one or two days."

"It's better not to." Qin Peng coughed lightly: "No matter how good the chef is, you will get tired of eating after one or two days."

"That's right." Qin Shuhuai nodded, not realizing what he had said, "When the princess wants to eat, I can send it to the princess's mansion."

Qin Peng had a mouthful of coconut cake stuck in his throat and started coughing rapidly.

Qin Shuhuai frowned, patted Qin Peng's back, and said gently, "Are you okay? I'll ask Mo Jing to come over."

Qin Peng waved his hands and slowly recovered his breath.

"Wait for me for a moment," Qin Peng stood up and walked out. "I'm going to take a breath. I'm almost suffocating."

Qin Shuhuai was stunned, and Qin Peng had already walked out.

After going out, Qin Peng finally felt much more relaxed.

In fact, she has realized it now. Although she asked Zhao Yi not to tell Qin Shuhuai, with Qin Shuhuai's attitude, how could he not know?

With Qin Shuhuai's intelligence and smartness, he must have seen it a long time ago.

Qin Peng stood in the yard, in a daze.

If Qin Shuhuai didn't say anything, she didn't dare to expose it. If she did, she wouldn't know how to reject the man who had been waiting for her for six years.

She was unworthy of his affection.

When I was young, I always thought I had given a lot, but now I understand that person did even more in secret.

What she feared most in her life was owing emotional debt. She couldn't give him such deep affection, so she could only hide like this.

Qin Shuhuai actually understood it.

Zhao Yi, who had slept enough and was on duty, came out from the dark, picked up some food for Qin Shuhuai, and whispered, "Prince, why don't you speak to the princess?"

"What's there to spread?"

Qin Shuhuai smiled, with a helpless look on his face: "It would be terrible if I accidentally scared him away."

"Besides," Qin Shuhuai raised his eyes, as if he could see who it was, and said softly, "If she liked me the first time, she will definitely like me the second time."

"She is with me now, I am waiting."

Zhao was stunned for a moment, then he understood and nodded, "That's right. He's here and can't run away."

While the two were talking, Qin Peng came to his senses.

She owed Qin Shuhuai, and even if she couldn't repay the emotional debt, she had to be nicer to him.

Qin Peng calmed himself and turned around. When Zhao Yi returned to his position in the dark, Qin Peng saw Qin Shuhuai groping for food by himself.

She felt a little distressed, so she walked up to him and took his chopsticks.

"Let me feed you."

"Um?"

Qin Shuhuai didn't expect Qin Peng to actually come back to feed him. When he realized what was happening, he couldn't help but feel nervous.

He responded: "I want to eat coconut cake."

"Why do you want to eat this?"

Qin Peng was a little surprised. Qin Shuhuai never liked to eat this. She put a spoon in Qin Shuhuai's mouth. After Qin Shuhuai took a bite, he looked up at her and laughed out loud.

"sweet."
