Chapter 200 The Black Constable is Here
A certain prince obviously didn't think there was anything wrong with his behavior. He held Yun Qingqing's little hand tightly with both hands and breathed a sigh of relief.
Yun Qingqing: ...
Don't you have inner strength? Do you really think I can't see that you froze like this on purpose?
But before she could finish her words, the man suddenly leaned forward and pressed his forehead against her shoulder.
"Qingqing, I..." Xiao Changheng's low voice stopped halfway and there was no sound.
Yun Qingqing was stunned.
Even when I witnessed him healing his wounds alone beside a cold pond in the snow that day, this man was cold and unwavering.
She had never seen it before, and had never even imagined that this person would one day be so... vulnerable?
"...What's wrong with you?" She asked subconsciously, "Are you in any trouble?"
Xiao Changheng pressed his forehead against her neck and shook his head silently.
He didn't say anything for a long time, and Yun Qingqing didn't know what to say, so she could only sit there stiffly and motionless.
She had never faced such a situation in her life, and for the first time in her life, she felt overwhelmed.
Fortunately, the road always has an end, and this situation will end when the carriage arrives at the palace.
Yun Qingqing thought silently and simply gave up.
But after a while, Xiao Changheng spoke again in a low voice.
"Thank you... for saving my brother."
Yun Qingqing suddenly understood.
After rescuing the emperor a few days ago, she also prescribed a recuperation prescription that could improve the emperor's weak physique. I think Xiao Changheng already knew about it.
In the eyes of others, this man is a powerful and evil prince. Many people even believe that he controls the court. If it weren't for his disabled legs, he would have taken his shot at that position long ago.
But in fact, the emperor is like a father to him, and he only wants to protect his brother's kingdom.
He never bothered to explain the misunderstandings from the outside world.
But that day when the emperor was dying and he appeared in the bedroom in a rage, she was the only one who could see his anxiety and panic hidden under the mask.
Yun Qingqing lowered her eyes and the man's perfect profile came into view. Also clearly visible was the blood-red causal line between the two of them.
She pursed her lips, cleared her throat and spoke calmly:
"He is the ruler of a country. His life and death are linked to the fate of the country and the great way of heaven and earth. I am just following my heart to protect the great way. You don't have to thank me."
After he finished speaking, Xiao Changheng clenched his hands and slowly looked up at her.
"You...is there only the Tao in your heart, with no room for anything else?" His voice was hoarse and dark, and his inky eyes were filled with emotions that she couldn't understand.
Yun Qingqing's heart stagnated slightly.
In her previous life, her master often boasted in front of others that her extraordinary talent was rare in a century, but what was most rare was her true and pure mind. If there was only one person in the entire Xuanmen who could ultimately reach the great Dao of heaven and earth, it would definitely be her.
However, she died when she was just one step away from the goal that countless generations had been working towards their entire lives.
Because of this, even if the spiritual energy in this world is exhausted and the Xuanmen is on the decline, she still wants to try her best.
In her new life, she didn't want to let herself down.
Yun Qingqing took a deep breath, drove away the memories in her mind, and silently recited the Qingxin Jue.
Then he looked directly at Xiao Changheng and nodded, saying unequivocally:
"right."
Then, without waiting for his response, she pulled back her hand, leaned back on the chair, closed her eyes, and said calmly:
"If the prince has finished his affairs in the court, please arrange some time so that we can start treating the leg."
The man beside her didn't move for a long time. Even with her eyes closed, she could still feel the burning gaze on her.
It was not until the carriage stopped at the gate of the palace that she finally heard him speak in a hoarse voice:
"good."
"You decide how to arrange the time. I will fully cooperate with you!"
…
Xiao Changheng kept his word. From that night on, he turned down all court affairs and left everything to Yun Qingqing.
She gave him acupuncture twice a day, morning and evening, let him take a medicinal bath all day in between, and pasted talismans all over his legs before he went to bed at night.
Although it was troublesome and boring, Xiao Changheng did it without hesitation.
Nan Zheng, on the other hand, was in high spirits the whole day, saying that the prince's leg disease had never recurred since the princess entered the palace, and that he would soon finally recover completely.
However, Nan Zheng’s happiness did not last long because his monthly salary was deducted because he stepped in with his left foot first.
The mountain temple in Zhiluo has been becoming more and more popular recently, and she has to rush back from time to time. So every time Yun Qingqing finishes her acupuncture in the morning, she still goes to Tianming Pavilion on time to take charge.
One day, as she walked to the door of Tianming Pavilion, she saw a handsome, dark-skinned constable pacing around the door like a headless fly.
He kept muttering:
"I remember correctly. The last time I came here, it was right between the restaurant and the dim sum shop... Isn't it said that if you ask for it, you can find it? I'm so sincere, why can't I get in..."
Yun Qingqing burst out laughing:
"Is it possible that you came too early and my Tianming Pavilion hasn't opened for business yet?"
Yan Haochu turned around suddenly and said in surprise:
"Master Qingyun! I'm so glad to have found you!"
Yun Qingqing curled her lips and pointed at the door:
"Let's go in and talk."
Yan Haochu looked back at the big sign of "Tianming Pavilion" that suddenly appeared in front of him, his mouth wide open, until Yun Qingqing walked past him calmly, then he hurriedly followed her step by step.
After sitting down, Yun Qingqing poured him a cup of tea and said straight to the point:
"It seems that you have encountered that case again."
Yan Haochu took a breath:
"Is that it?"
He clearly remembered that when he first met Yun Qingqing, she said that he would soon encounter an unsolved case that would implicate him and even cost him his life.
Yun Qingqing nodded, then shook her head:
"But... your luck has really changed a lot. Although the case is quite difficult, at most you will be implicated and punished with a few beatings and fines. It's not a big deal."
Yan Haochu: ...
Isn't this a big deal? He was a poor little policeman, and being beaten with a stick was fine, but being fined was a death sentence!
He scratched his head with a sad face:
"Master, you are so awesome, come up with a way to help me out! I have parents and children to take care of, and they all depend on that little money for food. If you want to fine me, you might as well give me a few more strokes of the cane!"
Yun Qingqing raised her eyebrows and looked at him with a half-smile:
"There's a kid down there?"
