Chapter 363: Kind Words as Rewards
He Yanli understood in an instant that this heartless person did not come to see him today, but came to irritate him!
Qiao Wanyan laughed so hard that her belly was filled with laughter, and her laughter sounded as clear and pleasant as the tinkling of silver bells. Even Mo Xiao who was outside the door was infected by her laughter and had a smile on his face, feeling happy.
Well, it seems that the prince and the second lady get along very well, and the prince must be very happy at this moment.
He Yanli listened to the laughter and saw that tears were coming out of the corners of her eyes. Suddenly he sneered.
Qiao Wanyan suddenly felt a chill on her back, her smile stopped abruptly, and she sensed the crisis.
He Yanli: "Have you met Yun Heng?"
He put two bowls of blood on his forearm, and Yun Heng was the only one who knew about it besides Mo Xiao. Mo Xiao didn't have the guts to ruin his own show, and there wouldn't be anyone else except Yun Heng.
From the beginning to the end, his mind was on He Zhiyu, and he forgot about this honest-looking Yun Heng!
Qiao Wanyan stood up and said, "Yun Heng is now living in the Shangshu Mansion. Since the prince is now in poor health and has severe anemia, I will take my leave and not disturb the prince."
She emphasized the word anemia.
Seeing He Yanli's face change slightly, she turned around and left quickly.
But he was a step too slow. Just as he took a step forward and before his foot touched the ground, his arm was grabbed and pulled backwards.
Qiao Wanyan exclaimed, and the next moment her back was pressed against He Yanli's body.
He held my waist tightly in his arms and strangled my neck, making it impossible for me to escape.
He pinched her neck but didn't use any force. He just wanted to scare her, but Qiao Wanyan wasn't afraid.
It would be more accurate to say that his hand fell on her neck rather than strangling her.
"You are so bold to laugh at me now."
A low voice sounded in her ears, and because it was too close, Qiao Wanyan felt her ears tingling and a little itchy.
"Bear heart and leopard gall sound disgusting. I have never eaten them."
He Yanli felt like a heavy blow to cotton.
"Don't you like to laugh? Why don't you laugh now?"
Qiao Wanyan didn't say anything, but just held He Yanli's hand that was pinching her neck with both hands, and slowly rolled up her sleeves. As expected, she saw a shocking knife scar on her arm.
Just by looking at the width of the scab, you can guess how deep the cut was.
"What are you doing?" He Yanli wanted to pull his hand back but Qiao Wanyan held it tightly and he couldn't pull it out.
Qiao Wanyan half-closed her eyes and looked at the wound, saying in a leisurely and light voice, "I feel so sad."
He Yanli froze in place, his heart seemed to be enveloped by a ray of warm sunshine, his heart suddenly fluctuated and his expression was moved.
It’s just a pity that Qiao Wanyan had her back to him, so he couldn’t see that at this moment, Qiao Wanyan was saying the most tender words and had the most indifferent and calm expression on her face.
The tone and intonation are controlled perfectly, touching the deepest part of the other person's heart.
Qiao Wanyan pressed her cheek against his wound, which was more difficult to calm down than a gentle kiss.
He Yanli's gaze fell on her profile, and this one glance was enough to be engraved in the depths of her soul, lingering like an ink painting.
When the door opened, Qiao Wanyan handed Mo Xiao a small box.
After everyone left, Mo Xiao walked in and saw his own prince sitting on the bed with a lost look on his face.
"Your Majesty, this is what the Second Miss asked me to give to you."
He Yanli took it immediately, and looked at the donkey-hide gelatin inside, with a slight smile on his lips.
"Put it away and store it in the warehouse."
Mo Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly. Donkey-hide gelatin was not a good thing. Why did the prince ask him to store it in the warehouse? Did he think little of this small piece of donkey-hide gelatin or was he reluctant to eat it?
If it is the latter, the weather is getting hot, so won’t the donkey-hide gelatin go bad?
"Forget it, don't put it in the storeroom, put it in the drawer of the study."
Mo Xiao's head was filled with black lines: "........"
Just offer it up.
He guessed that the second young lady probably brought some supplements that she didn't like.
"etc."
Mo Xiao stopped and asked, "What else do you want, Your Majesty?"
He Yanli looked him up and down and said, "Go get some money from Manager Shangbai and buy some clothes. I have seen you wearing these clothes for several years. You will embarrass me if you go out."
Mo Xiao's eyes lit up, "Thank you, Your Highness! By the way, Your Highness, the servant said that you were resting and the Second Miss almost left, but I stopped her and told her that you and she were childhood sweethearts, and she woke up when she knew she was here, Your Highness. That's why she didn't go back!"
He Yanli lay down and said, "Starting from this month, the monthly allowance will be doubled."
Mo Xiao's eyes were bright, "Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"This is not because of these things. I am rewarding you because you have worked diligently beside me over the years."
Mo Xiao said very wisely: "I will not misunderstand you. Your Majesty has no desires or requests in his heart. I have been with you for many years and I know this clearly."
"Triple the monthly salary."
Mo Xiao: Hehe~
Mo Xiao did not go directly to the study, but ran quickly to the door. Qiao Wanyan happened to have not walked out of the palace gate yet.
"Is there anything else, Your Majesty?" Qiao Wanyan asked.
Mo Xiao smiled awkwardly and said, "The prince is not feeling well and has gone to bed, so he asked me to come and see you off. Miss, take care. I wish you a safe journey and a smooth journey!!!"
Qiao Wanyan pursed her lips and looked at him for a long time, and finally threw a hairpin from her bun to him, "Good words are a reward."
Mo Xiao caught it steadily, looked at the pigeon blood red hairpin in his hand, and his mouth opened wide.
Second Miss, you are so generous!
Mo Yun looked at Mo Xiao standing at the door and grinned foolishly, "What are you doing? It was normal before that your brain was half flour and half water, but now it's all mixed up into a paste?"
Mo Xiao looked back at him and sighed, "Look at yourself. How can you compare with me when you are so bad at talking?"
On the way back, Qiao Wanyan met Xia Siwen. The two hadn't seen each other for a long time, so they went straight to the teahouse.
In the private room on the second floor, the servant wanted to close the window to prevent the guests downstairs from making too much noise, but was stopped by Qiao Wanyan.
"No need to turn it off. I've been really bored staying at home lately. Listening to this sound makes it lively."
Xia Siwen smiled and said, "You should be bored. It's hard not to be bored when you have someone like your eldest sister at home."
Qiao Wanyan was somewhat helpless, "You heard about it too."
Xia Siwen sighed and said, "When I went home to visit my parents yesterday, even my grandmother, who never leaves the house, heard about this incident. My father also said that many ministers in the court were also talking about it privately, and they even asked the Department of Astronomy to observe the celestial phenomena to see if the recent continuous disasters are related to the evil spirit that the people are talking about!"
Qiao Wanyan pursed her lips and smiled, "How is that possible? Isn't that an exaggeration?"
Xia Siwen whispered, "Tell me, when Qiao Yihuan was born, was she so beautiful that she didn't cry or make a fuss? Was she able to open her eyes right after she was born, and looked at people like a demon? Did she even kill the old lady of the Qiao family?"
Qiao Wanyan was a little embarrassed. "I wasn't even born when my eldest sister was born. How could I know about those past events? Rumors are not true and should not be believed."
