Chapter 35 Cold Winter
Just as Wuchun planned, Shen Sui did not come to Fengchun Palace for a while.
Although something went wrong and he did not marry Jingyi, his goal was achieved.
But Wuchun did not feel very happy.
Sometimes at night, she would dream of a crying baby lying in a pool of blood, stretching out its little hands to her, and then suddenly wake up, covered in cold sweat.
Wuchun was afraid of cold, and because of the abortion, her body became even weaker. One day, she stood in the yard for a long time and caught a cold after being blown by the cold wind.
A servant informed Shen Sui that the princess consort was ill in the palace. Should he go back to the palace to see her? How long have you been living outside? It is getting colder and colder. It is time to go back.
Shen Sui said calmly, "Why go back? She doesn't want to see me, why should I go back?"
No one dared to mention Wu Chun in front of him.
On an auspicious day at the end of this year, Cheng Zhaoyang and Zhao Qing held their wedding. The mansion of the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue was bustling with excitement and the ceremony was very grand. A group of royal descendants and nobles were invited to the mansion for a drink. Most of the guests were willing to come to visit to give face to General Cheng.
Shen Sui was going to go.
And there was no reason not to bring Wu Chun with him.
"My Lady, the eldest daughter of General Cheng's family is getting married. You and the Third Prince are invited to the banquet. Here is the invitation."
Wu Chun, wrapped in a thick blanket, weighed the invitation, "Did Shen Sui ask you to deliver it?"
"Yes."
"Did he ask you to bring any message?"
The eunuch shook his head, "The Third Prince didn't say a word."
Wu Chun sighed, "I know, let's go." This book is exclusively
compiled Jinglian brought a bowl of soup to warm Wuchun up, "Your Highness, do you want him to come to you, or do you not want him to come to you?"
Wuchun felt a little sour in his heart, "Jinglian, I thought I would be very happy. Everything is going according to my plan. But...but I killed my own child with my own hands. That was an innocent life. My hands are used to practice medicine and eliminate evil. I...I..." Her voice gradually became choked, "I also drugged Shen Sui. I don't know if Cheng Jingyi's innocence was preserved that night. Shen Sui didn't marry her, so didn't I indirectly destroy her reputation..."
"It's not your fault. Everyone has their own destiny. We can only pray that the child will be born well in the next life. Cheng Jingyi had tried her best to marry the Third Prince. Didn't she say that she would not regret it if the Third Prince did not marry her? Don't blame yourself. Let's forget all this and just think about how to leave."
Wu Chun drank the soup and slept for a while. She was still tired.
When Shen Sui came back to the palace to pick her up to go to the residence of the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, Wu Chun was just getting better.
The carriage stopped at the gate of Yuning Palace.
Wu Chun was wearing very thick clothes today, wrapped in a sky-blue rabbit fur cloak, with only rouge and powder on her face. Standing in a white world, she looked like a snowman made of snow.
"Your Majesty, His Highness is waiting for you outside."
"Got it."
In previous occasions like this, Shen Sui would personally lead her to the carriage, but now he didn't even get out of the carriage.
After Wu Chun went over, she helped Jing Lian step into the carriage. As soon as she opened the curtain, she met Shen Sui's indifferent eyes.
After not seeing each other for a few days, she realized that Shen Sui's eyes when he looked at her were not so indifferent before.
Wu Chun's heart shuddered.
She gritted her teeth and lingered in the carriage. She accidentally stepped on a protruding crossbeam. When she almost fell, a slender hand reached out and pulled her.
The cold touch was like his eyes.
The force of the pull was a bit brutal, almost throwing her to his side, as if venting something.
Wu Chun didn't know whether she should thank him or not, but she still said thank you, but got no response from him.
Along the way, the two of them were silent, with only the squeaking sound of the wheels slowly rolling over the road that had just been cleaned. A few snowflakes fell from the pale sky, all of which sounded heavy and loud.
After arriving at the place, Wu Chun originally thought that Shen Sui would at least help her when he got off, but she didn't expect that after he lifted the curtain and got out of the car, he stood aside. She carefully lifted her skirt and slowly got off, with her cloak still falling on the crossbeam. Shen Sui walked over, lifted her cloak with one hand, and let go, and the cloak fell like petals.
Wu Chun met Shen Sui's eyes.
He turned around and was about to go inside, but Wu Chun paused and did not move.
Shen Sui turned around and said calmly, "You hate me so much, do you still want me to drag you in?"
Wu Chun felt a little embarrassed, but maintained her dignity, "Of course not, I have been unwell recently, and the wind has been blowing for a while, and I feel a little cold."
It is unknown whether Shen Sui heard her or not, and he did not say a word to show his concern for her. After she came over, he walked towards the residence of the Minister of Revenue.
Unlike her and Shen Sui, the residence of the Minister of Revenue was lively and festive, and many people had already come to the residence. Shen Sui and Wu Chun found a not-so-conspicuous place to sit down.
Daliang has many red tapes and complicated wedding ceremonies. Wu Chun was bored for a long time, so she simply went out for a walk. When she stood up, Shen Sui raised his eyes and glanced at her, but did not care much.
Wuchun ran into Cheng Jingyi.
Seeing that there was no regret on her face, Wuchun also thought that she was willing last time.
There was nothing to say, Wuchun was going to beat around the bush, but Cheng Jingyi called her, "Prince's Consort."
Wuchun turned around and looked at her, "You tried your best to marry Shen Sui, I helped you, if you still want me to help you, then I will definitely not do it."
Cheng Jingyi said: "Your Majesty, you are thinking wrong, but I have always had a question, why is your relationship with the Third Prince so different from that of an ordinary couple? How can you avoid your husband everywhere and even find ways to find a concubine for your husband?"
"This has nothing to do with you."
The snow stopped.
The rocks and plum trees in the courtyard were covered with a thick layer of snow, which was dripping down.
Wu Chun's tone was not good, and in Cheng Jingyi's eyes, it seemed that there was something difficult to say, "If the queen doesn't mind, tell me, I can help you relieve your worries."
Coincidentally, Shen Heng also passed by here and happened to hear their conversation. He was a little suspicious, wondering why Wu Chun had anything to do with Cheng Jingyi, and stood at the corner of the corridor not far away and listened.
Wu Chun said, "I just don't like Shen Sui anymore, there's no other reason."
"But you and the Third Prince are together day and night, so you must have some feelings for each other. You don't like the Third Prince, but you have someone else in your heart?"
Shen Heng's hands clenched.
"Whether I have someone I like or not has nothing to do with you," Wu Chun didn't want to talk to her more, "It's useless for you to beg me now, Shen Sui doesn't believe me now, if you still want to ask Shen Sui to marry you, you might as well go to him more often." This book is exclusively compiled by the LK team for you.
When talking about this, Wu Chun inhaled a breath of cool air, which cooled his lungs.
Shen Heng's eyebrows moved.
So it turned out to be like this, the second lady Cheng liked the third brother, but Wu Chun didn't like the third brother, so he helped to match them up, and I don't know what went wrong in the middle, the two girls were not happy.
Did she hate her third brother to such an extent?
What kind of life did she lead in Fengchun Palace?
Hearing Cheng Jingyi no longer pestering him, Wuchun also changed the direction of walking. Shen Heng quietly withdrew, thinking all the way, and the more he thought, the more unwilling he felt.
This book is exclusively compiled by the LK team for you.
If Wuchun had a good life with Shen Sui, it would be fine, but she didn't live well and was even full of resentment.
To be fair, he really didn't want to see such a smart and cute girl become a complaining woman all day long.
Could he... do something for her?
...
Before Wuchun returned to the banquet, a drunk official came to her with a wine glass, "Whose beauty is this? Come, have a drink!"
Wuchun frowned at the smell of alcohol and tried to ignore him, but the middle-aged official with a big belly kept pestering her.
"Hey, I'm talking to you, didn't you hear me? You unruly maid!"
The voice was a little loud, and many people nearby heard and looked over, but Wuchun was very calm, "I don't know which fat pig who got drunk and bumped into people dared to insult the royal bloodline. Aren't you afraid that your blood will be used as a sacrifice for the next battle of Daliang?"
The people around laughed and also admired Wuchun's courage.
The man was furious, and raised his glass to smash it, "You are so arrogant! Are you looking for death?"
The glass didn't fall down in the end, but was knocked off course by a cold white hand, and the wine scattered in the air in a fan-like arc, and soon disappeared in the snow. When
Shen Sui moved his elbow, the official's hand made a clattering sound.
"
Ah
...
"Your Highness, wait for me."
Wu Chun trotted over, but accidentally got caught on her skirt and fell, crying "Ouch!"
Shen Sui did not look back, but stood there and did not move forward.
Wu Chun got up by himself and looked at his back, "At least you should have walked with me. What if there are still people like this?"
"You really know how to use people." Shen Sui sneered and started walking again, leaving Wu Chun standing alone in the snow.
