Chapter 142 Missing You
"There are thousands of kinds of poisonous herbs. If we don't know which one it is, I'm afraid it will be difficult to restore my appearance and my physique will not be the same as before. I'm afraid I will never be able to go to the battlefield again."
Qianque felt a little regretful when she got to this point.
"Fortunately, the young master can now walk freely, which has relieved the immediate crisis."
Qian Que was afraid that Xiao Jue would turn on her at this moment, so she hurriedly spoke up to make amends.
If it were merely to prolong his life, then Xiao Jue would have no reason to stay until now.
He must restore things to their former state.
"I will find a way to find the root cause of the herbicide."
"Just stay here and give me half a month."
Qian Que waved his hand dismissively and said indifferently, "The food and drink here are excellent, and I can stay for a year. However, if you can't find the person who poisoned you back then, you won't be able to find out where the poison came from, and therefore you won't be able to find the antidote. Your Highness, this is like looking for a needle in a haystack."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Jue suddenly recalled Xie Qingran's words.
Perhaps the key really lies with that imperial physician.
However, the imperial physician is currently hidden, and the people on the Consort's side must be keeping a close eye on her. The key to finding this person is to divert the Consort's attention.
Xiao Jue twirled his fingers and quickly came up with an idea. He wrote a secret letter to the Empress in the palace and sent it through a special channel.
The next day, early morning.
When Xie Qingran opened her eyes, Xiao Jue was already awake, sitting quietly beside her. The two looked at each other, and Xie Qingran smiled slightly: "Young Master, you're up so early."
"Yes, it's your homecoming today, you should arrive early." Xiao Jue nodded lightly and called out to the outside, "Redwood!"
As Hongshan entered, Baozhu also came in and began to help the two of them wash and dress.
Xie Qingran originally had no hope for Xiao Jue, but she never expected that he would actually go home with her.
“Your Highness, isn’t this really necessary?” Xie Qingran stared in disbelief at the huge cart full of things. “Isn’t this a bit too extravagant? I’m already very happy that Your Highness is coming back with me.”
Xiao Jue didn't say anything else, just glanced at Xie Qingran indifferently, and got into the car.
Seeing this, Xie Qingran could only get into the carriage with him. She sat next to Xiao Jue, looking at him curiously: 'Your Highness, why are you so good to me?'
"Just as you said, it's only right." Xiao Jue's voice was indifferent.
Previously, everyone said he was sinister and sharp-tongued, but Xie Qingran felt that he was actually a very polite person and would be a very good husband.
It's a pity that their marriage was based on mutual exploitation from the start.
Xie Qingran really didn't dare to hope for anything like love.
The Xie family.
Xie Yankang was waiting at the door early. He knew that Xiao Jue would also be coming today, so he had to be polite.
Wang had been ill for several days, but today she forced herself to come to the door. However, the way she looked at Xie Yankang and Xie Hanyue had subtly changed.
Seeing Wang Shi come out, Xie Hanyue hurriedly went to greet her and took her arm: "Mother, you're not feeling well, so you shouldn't have come out. My sister won't blame you."
"Your sister is my daughter, how could she blame me?"
"It's just that I miss her a little after not seeing her for so many days."
Wang silently withdrew her hand, her voice icy as she spoke.
Xie Hanyue was dumbfounded. Wang Shi had always doted on her and rarely acted so coldly. What was wrong with her today?
Seeing Xiao Jue's car parked at the door, Wang Shi clenched the handkerchief in her hand, suddenly feeling a little nervous. She was now even unsure how to face Xie Qingran.
First, Hongshan carried Xiao Jue out of the car, and then Xie Qingran got out of the car. Today was her homecoming, and Xie Qingran specially wore an apricot-yellow long dress. She looked radiant and beautiful, just like a ripe apricot.
She was already good-looking, but now that she's dressed up like this, her features are even more defined, making her look exactly like Xie Yankang.
Looking at Xie Qingran, Wang's body trembled slightly. She stepped forward and touched Xie Qingran's cheek with trembling hands, saying, "Good child, you're back! You're back!"
After hearing this, Xie Qingran understood that during the few days she was away from home, Xie Hanyue must have found out Xie Hanyue's identity and realized that the daughter she had loved all these years was the daughter of the person Xie Yankang loved.
You must feel as disgusted as if you'd swallowed a fly, right?
Xie Qingran silently took a step back and bowed respectfully: "Greetings, Father; greetings, Mother!"
"Good child, get up quickly, why are you being so polite with us family!"
"Let's go home, let's go home!"
Wang grabbed Xie Qingran's hand and they walked inside affectionately.
Xie Yankang was naturally pleased to see this, but Xie Hanyue felt a sense of crisis when she saw it.
Before, wherever she was, no one could see Xie Qingran. How come now, Wang Shi seems to have become a completely different person?
Her eyebrows were tightly furrowed as she followed behind, her face full of resentment.
Xie Yankang smiled and looked at Xiao Jue: "Your Highness, you must be tired from your journey."
"It's not hard work, it's what I should do."
"This is just a small gift, nothing special, but please accept it, Father-in-law."
Xiao Jue had no expression, and his voice was indifferent.
However, this was already a great honor for Xie Yankang, who felt flattered and hurriedly said, "Your Highness is too kind. We are all family, there is really no need for such formalities."
Once inside, Madam Wang pulled Xie Qingran along, looking her up and down: "Qingran, how are you doing in the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion? How is the young master treating you?"
"The Crown Prince treats me very well, Mother, please rest assured."
Xie Qingran gave a faint twitch at the corner of her mouth, silently withdrew her hand, and remained as cold and distant as ever.
If it were before, Wang Shi would probably have immediately turned hostile if she had been so indifferent, but now, Wang Shi felt a pang of bitterness in her heart.
She knew that it was because she had done something wrong that Xie Qingran had become so distant from them. It wasn't Xie Qingran's fault; it was her fault, and she, as a mother, had been blind!
"Sister, now that you're married, the house feels so much quieter."
"Your parents and brother miss you very much!"
“Look, your mother cried when she saw you.”
Xie Hanyue smiled at Xie Qingran, a flash of ruthlessness passing through her eyes.
Xie Qingran glanced at her and said calmly, "And you, do you miss me, your older sister?"
