Chapter 40 King of Qin
"Grandma, please let me see my second brother." Su Yuheng stood there, sobbing softly.
Madam Su was very resolute: "Fourth girl, you'd better put away your thoughts. This is absolutely impossible!"
"Madam Zhang, send her back to Fangfei Garden. Without my order, she is not allowed to set foot in Yanqiu's courtyard."
"Yes, ma'am."
…
Night falls
In Qingfeng Courtyard, Su Yanqiu was still lying on the couch, unable to move.
He hadn't heard Su Yuheng's voice in the past two days, and he felt a little uneasy.
He tried his best to struggle, but his whole body was so limp that he couldn't wake up.
He could only rely on his hearing to carefully listen to the movements around him.
The door of the wing room was pushed open with a creaky sound, and the maid Ziyuan came in from outside with a basin of warm water and placed it in front of the bed.
She wrung out the handkerchief and gently wiped Su Yanqiu's cheek.
Smelling a different scent in front of him, Su Yanqiu became more certain that the person in front of him was not Su Yuheng.
Sure enough, she didn't come.
He felt a little disappointed.
Not long after, a strange sound of footsteps came into his ears. Su Yanqiu guessed that it was his personal bodyguard Mo Yu.
After Mo Yu entered the room, he glanced at Su Yanqiu lying on the bed and asked, "How long will it take for the prince to wake up?"
Zi Yuan pursed her lips and said, "Doctor Liu from the Imperial Hospital said it would take about half a month. Now, if I calculate the date, it should be twelve days."
"Twelve more days?" Mo Yu frowned. There were many things in the Marquis' Mansion that needed Su Yanqiu's care.
"These past few days, you're the only one looking after the prince in Qingfeng Courtyard?"
Zi Yuan put down the handkerchief in her hand and sighed, "The fourth young lady used to come here often, but Madam ordered her not to set foot in Qingfeng Courtyard. Now I am the only one here."
"I heard that the fourth young lady went to the old lady's yard today and knelt down to beg her, but the old lady refused to let the fourth young lady come to see the prince. The fourth young lady couldn't bear the blow and almost committed suicide."
"The fourth young lady has returned to the courtyard and has not eaten or drunk anything for the entire day."
Mo Yu sighed and said, "The Fourth Miss truly loves our Prince deeply."
Su Yanqiu, lying on the couch, listened to every word of the conversation between Mo Yu and Zi Yuan.
He didn't expect that Su Yuheng would go on a hunger strike for him.
He struggled desperately in the chaos, but couldn't wake up.
Fangfei Courtyard.
The dim candlelight flickered slightly, and a fragrance filled the air in the master's room of Fangfei Courtyard.
"Miss, this is for you."
The maid Bai Lu pursed her lips, smiled, broke off the duck leg from the roast duck, and handed it to Su Yuheng.
"This is what I secretly bought tonight. The roast duck here is more fragrant and crispy than the one we ate at before."
Su Yuheng took the duck leg handed to him by Bai Lu and began to nibble on it gently.
The skin of the duck leg is very crispy, and the meat is fragrant and soft, leaving a lingering fragrance in your mouth after one bite.
Seeing Su Yuheng enjoying his meal, Bai Lu whispered, "I wonder if Sister Ziyuan has finished her business."
Bai Zhi, who was standing by, looked at Su Yuheng and smiled with pursed lips.
"A message has come from Sister Ziyuan, and she has already said what the young lady wanted."
"Even if the young lady doesn't live in the Qingfeng Courtyard of the deceased, it's understandable. There are so many delicious foods in this world, how could our young lady go on a hunger strike?"
Su Yuheng finished eating the duck leg in his hand, looked at the two clever little maids, and whispered: "Let's do it as usual later. Bai Lu will accompany me out, and Bai Zhi will stay in Fangfei Garden."
Bai Lu and Bai Zhi nodded, "Yes, Miss."
After the master and servants finished eating a whole roast duck, Su Yuheng changed his clothes and took Bai Lu to Wangjing Tower in Kyoto.
Wangjing Tower is brightly lit at night.
After Su Yuheng got off the carriage, he went straight to the private room in the northwest of Wangjing Tower.
A wisp of incense burned in the exquisite and elegant room. When Su Yuheng entered, he saw a man in an indigo brocade robe and a silver crown holding his hair sitting next to a chessboard.
"My Lord, someone is coming."
Hearing the sound, King Qin, who was sitting beside the chessboard, slowly raised his head and saw a girl in purple clothes entering his sight.
"Your Highness, Prince Qin, how are you?"
King Qin put down the black piece in his hand and said coldly: "You are finally here."
