Chapter 67 Do you regret marrying me? [32]
When Shen Jingya came out, she happened to see A Chu and Si Jinye leaving hand in hand.
She couldn't help but feel a little confused.
Does His Highness the Crown Prince truly love his sixth younger sister?
Did he fall in love with her at first sight because he saved her that day?
Or is it that men simply prefer such delicate women, which triggers their protective instincts?
Thinking of this, Shen Jingya felt extremely fortunate.
Fortunately, she acted decisively and swiftly, cutting off any chance for A Chu and Si Jinxuan to have more contact!
Fortunately, it was Si Jinye, not Si Jinxuan, who saved Achu at that time.
Otherwise, she would have nowhere to cry!
Shen Jingya only felt fortunate, without considering how wicked her behavior was.
In ancient times, people placed great importance on a woman's chastity and reputation, yet she chose to ruin a woman's reputation in this way.
.
Over there, Achu and Sijinye were talking as they headed towards the East Palace.
It was mainly Achu who was talking, recounting what she had seen and heard in Consort Jiang's palace.
"Consort Jiang looks so gentle and approachable!"
Upon hearing this, Si Jinye turned his head and looked down at her, saying, "Chen Jingtan, haven't you ever heard the saying?"
Ah Chu blinked, then asked in confusion, "Hmm? What did you say?"
Si Jinye: "You can know a person's face but not their heart."
"Some people wear beautiful skin, but are actually evil ghosts with blue faces and fangs."
His words were naturally directed at Consort Jiang.
Si Jinye's men were all around him, so he spoke without any restraint.
Achu's eyes widened: "This... is Consort Jiang really that bad?"
Si Jinye leaned down and whispered in her ear: "When I was eight years old, I was sent to the Kingdom of Garo as a hostage. It was she who suggested it to Father Emperor. What do you think?"
Achu didn't speak, but judging from her expression, she seemed to need time to process it.
The two walked quietly for a while.
Si Jinye suddenly heard A Chu say, "That Consort Jiang is definitely not as gentle and kind as she seems. His Highness was only eight years old back then... She is also a mother. How could she do such a thing!"
A Chu's tone was filled with indignation and heartache for Si Jinye.
Si Jinye's lips curled up slightly.
He didn't tell Achu that if Consort Jiang didn't persuade the emperor to send him to the Kingdom of Garo as a hostage, she might have to send her own son instead.
The two returned to the East Palace.
The sun was already quite high, and the temperature was rising.
Achu shook her round fan and said to Si Jinye beside her, "Your Highness, it's a bit hot today. How about I make a refreshing dessert for you?"
Si Jinye looked down at her and saw that there was still heartache and pity for him in A Chu's eyes.
He found it somewhat amusing, yet inexplicably heartwarming.
Si Jinye hummed in agreement and replied, "Okay."
Achu laughed and told Si Jinye to wait first, then took Xiaoliu and Chunhua Shuiyue to the small kitchen.
She spent half an hour tinkering in the small kitchen, making the dessert, and then went to find Si Jinye.
Si Jinye is currently in his study.
Achu didn't let the palace maids follow her; instead, she carried the tray in herself.
When the guards at the gate saw A-Chu, they didn't even try to stop him.
After all, this Crown Princess was already able to freely enter and leave the study before marrying His Highness the Crown Prince.
And what about now?
After A Chu entered the study, she saw Wu Ming sitting face to face with Si Jinye.
"Dr. Wu?"
Si Jinye and Wu Ming turned their heads at the same time to look at A Chu.
Wu Ming stroked his beard, stood up, and bowed to A Chu, saying, "This old man greets the Crown Princess!"
Ah Chu placed the tray on the table beside him, smiled, and raised his hand, saying, "Dr. Wu, there's no need for such formalities."
Si Jinye beckoned to A Chu: "Come here and let the old man take your pulse."
Achu nodded.
I had stayed in the East Palace for three months, and I would see Wu Ming once a month.
Achu also knew that the pills she took and the medicinal diet recipes she usually ate were all prescribed by Wu Ming.
Si Jinye stood up and asked A Chu to sit down.
Wu Ming sat down opposite A Chu again.
Achu placed her hand on the pulse pillow: "Thank you for your help, Dr. Wu."
Wu Ming waved his hand: "This is my duty!"
He began to take Achu's pulse and asked her about her recent condition, such as her daily routine, appetite, and menstruation.
Ah Chu told him everything.
As soon as Wu Ming withdrew his hand, Si Jinye asked, "How was it?"
Wu Ming habitually stroked his beard and replied with a smile, "The Crown Princess is in good health."
"Once you finish taking those pills, you won't need to take any more."
"Just pay more attention to your diet in the future."
Upon hearing this, Achu thanked Wu Ming again, saying, "Thanks to Doctor Wu, my health has been restored!"
Si Jinye poked her cheek from the side: "Why thank him? If anyone should thank someone, it should be me."
Achu grasped his hand, looked up at him and smiled, "Thank you too, Your Highness."
Si Jinye was dazzled by her bright smile and was speechless for a moment.
Wu Ming looked at A Chu, then at Si Jinye, and could only feel amazed.
He had known Si Jinye for several years, but he had never seen the Crown Prince so vibrant and full of life.
This Crown Princess not only relieved Si Jinye's headaches and tinnitus, but also transformed him from a demon into a human.
That's absolutely amazing!
Wu Ming declined A Chu's invitation to stay for lunch and left with his medicine box on his back.
Only Achu and Sijinye remained in the study.
Achu asked Si Jinye to try the dessert she made.
She made honey lychee shaved ice, which was very sweet and refreshing.
Eating a bowl of this in this kind of weather can completely clear away any irritability.
After finishing their dessert, Achu asked about Wu Ming's arrival.
"Did you invite Physician Wu to the East Palace just to take my pulse? Or are you feeling unwell?"
Looking at A Chu's concerned expression, Si Jinye remained silent for a few moments before telling A Chu about his physical condition.
"I took too much poison in the Kingdom of Garo, and the toxins infected my internal organs."
"I'm still alive thanks to Old Man Wu."
"So the rumors are true, I may not live past the age of 24."
He looked at Achu and asked her, "Do you regret marrying me?"
Si Jinye didn't even realize that there was a hint of nervousness and unease in his tone.
No sooner had he finished asking than Achu threw herself into his arms with tears in her eyes.
She buried her face in his neck, and Si Jinye wrapped his arms around her waist. Just as he was about to speak, he felt hot tears fall onto his collar.
The heat made his body stiffen.
Si Jinye heard A Chu's voice, trembling with tears, say, "I don't regret it!"
I don't regret marrying you!
Achu looked up at him, her eyes brimming with tears.
She forced a smile at Si Jinye and said, "It's alright. If you really only have two years to live, then we still have two wonderful years to go!"
"We can do many things together, can't we?"
Si Jinye's heart trembled.
He found it difficult to describe his feelings at that moment in words.
Si Jinye believed that if he really only had two years left to live, A Chu would do as she said...
How could there be such a silly girl?
So adorably silly!
The frost in Si Jinye's eyes vanished completely, never to return.
