Chapter 384 Suitable for repair
Yixiu was awakened by the noisy voices. When she opened her eyes, her first reaction was to look down at Honghui on the bed, but all she saw was her empty hands.
"Where's Honghui? Where is my Honghui?"
Yixiu quickly lifted the brocade quilt that was covered with New Year's gifts and jumped off the bed without even having time to put on her shoes, still asking the child questions.
The next second, the man came hurriedly from behind the screen and strode forward with a frown. The warmth of his broad and warm palm came to her through the movement of his shoulder support, but Yixiu subconsciously turned her head away and lowered her eyelids.
She was afraid her eyes were too cold, and also afraid her hatred was too strong. After decades of marriage, she actually understood this man the most profoundly. However, before Honghui died, she was completely immersed in the desire for power and the illusory love of the emperor, stubbornly deceiving herself and completely turning herself into a greedy, crazy and mad woman.
Now that she has been reborn and has found her lost Honghui, Yixiu is surprised to find that she has no love for Yinzhen at all, only an unconcealable disgust.
When she first married him, Yixiu loved and was grateful to him. Because of him, she escaped the fate of being a mere match and living in the shadows. Her dull life became bright because of him.
After her sister married him, Yixiu was reduced to her original form. The pain of falling from a height was a hundred times greater than before, but fortunately she had Honghui. As long as Honghui was there, she could still persevere. At that time, she still continued to suffer from her love for Yinzhen, but fortunately, there was another ray of light in her life, her Honghui, which always kept her from the brink of madness.
Yixiu died around the same night Honghui died. What survived was nothing more than a monster twisted by all the ugliness in the world, wanting only to tear apart and corrupt everything she saw!
Fortunately, Ulanara's crazy and chaotic life had rotted away in another palace. Now, the one who was alive was Yixiu, who had woken up with a thief's happy and despicable mood of regaining what she had lost.
Alive and well-maintained.
"Honghui is fine now, Xiaoyi...thank you so much for protecting our child."
Yixiu's originally good mood couldn't help but become irritable. What do you mean by thanking me? He is my son. It has nothing to do with you.
Thank you so much now. Why didn't I see him when Honghui was struggling with illness during thunderstorms in my past life and this life? Even in my past life, when I lost my child and fainted, I woke up and saw him with a face full of surprise and no sadness at all. The first words he said to her were:
"Yixiu, don't be too sad. Although your child is gone, Wanwan and I have a child. You two sisters have a deep bond, and her child is also your child."
Oh, what a big face.
"Where's Honghui? Jianqiu... Lord Beile? Can you see my Honghui?"
"Honghui is still sleeping in the side room. The imperial physician has examined him and his condition is stable. He's fine."
Yixiu looked like her mind was still confused, her flickering eyes didn't focus on Yinzhen at all, and she looked dazed and didn't seem to have come back to her senses.
Seeing this, the man couldn't help but hide the joy on his face, and subconsciously touched the tip of his nose, as if he finally realized that his reaction was not so appropriate at this moment.
He naturally didn't think he was completely wrong. After all, ever since Rouze entered the mansion, his heart had been completely occupied by her. Old people like Qi and new people like Gan and Miao, even the corner of his clothes could hardly be touched.
Compared with them, Yixiu at least got some attention from him from time to time because of her status as Rouze's sister and because she gave birth to his eldest son.
Let’s talk about the eldest son Honghui. Yinzhen naturally valued him very much, but now he doesn’t value him that much.
At this time, the still young fourth brother was only a Beile, and the position of the crown prince above him was stable. Although the Prince of Zhi and the crown prince had always been at odds and had many conflicts in the court, his vague idea had not yet transformed into a towering tree.
So, putting aside the rational analysis of benefits and considering only the emotional father-son relationship, the young father naturally had deep feelings for this intelligent and filial son.
However, he was introverted and restrained by nature, and it was inevitable that he would neglect others because he favored his wife alone. In addition, Honghui had been ill intermittently recently, and he had actually anticipated this result. Therefore, after learning from his wife that Honghui was not well, the Fourth Prince was heartbroken for a moment and could not help but have the idea of escaping.
After all, on one side, his lovely wife and loving son are living a happy and fulfilling life, while on the other side, the mother and child are suffering and in dire straits. His heart is already extremely biased, so naturally he becomes even more hypocritical.
But now, standing before Yixiu, with her hair loose and makeup unmade, she wasn't as hysterical as he'd imagined. Her pale face revealed only silent pain and a hint of longing. He was speechless, his heart aching. He ordered in a hoarse voice, "Su Peisheng, send for Prince Honghui."
"No, no need. I'll go by myself. Don't move the child. He just recovered yesterday. It's better not to move him!"
These words reawakened Yixiu's mind. She held Yinzhen's wrist with her backhand, and her cool fingertips accidentally brushed across it, making him feel uneasy.
Yixiu ignored his nonsense and gently broke free from the man's hand. She reached out to Jianqiu and Huichun who were waiting beside her to support her. She forced a weak smile.
"Please don't blame me, Lord Beile. I was not well-groomed and lost my composure just now. I haven't congratulated Lord Beile and his wife on their great wedding yet."
As she spoke, she bowed steadily, stood up and stumbled two steps, but before the other party could offer her hand, she stood firmly and resumed her usual respectful and humble appearance: "Please wait a moment, Lord Beile, so that I can wash up."
Yinzhen didn't say anything, but went straight out and sat in the main hall. His face was expressionless, but he didn't leave. He even accepted the tea from Xiuxia and sat down calmly.
Yixiu packed up quickly in the inner room, but not to keep Yinzhen waiting any longer. In fact, she thought he would turn around and leave once he saw that his son was alive and well. She packed so quickly because she wanted to see Honghui as soon as possible, and she didn't want the child to see her in such a state of disgrace when he opened his eyes.
She casually changed into a half-new cheongsam with a light green embroidered magnolia pattern, and asked Jianqiu to do the simplest bun for her hair. She casually inserted two yellow magnolia silk flowers that matched the pattern of the clothes and a burnt blue butterfly hairpin, and then took a little jasmine powder and dabbed it on her cheekbones. She immediately changed from being embarrassed to being elegant and calm.
Only the lips, which were as pale as spring cherry blossoms, still had a bitter paleness.
It’s so good to be young. After enduring Honghui’s illness for so long, once she was sure that Honghui was well again, she was able to recover 70% to 80% in just one night.
