Chapter 174 The Queen Mother and the Emperor are listening outside
Prince Rui did not respond, but just looked at her happily.
Shen Yuanwei wanted to ask more questions, but when she lowered her head, she suddenly saw the blood on Prince Rui's wrist.
The bright red blood had already dyed a large area of the sleeve red.
Her heart tightened, and she quickly called out to Xiao Lingzhao, "Lingzhao, Prince Rui's wound has split open, and he's bleeding!"
Xiao Lingzhao stepped over the threshold.
He was not annoyed by the poor little prince who was squatting obediently beside the bed, and he quickly took the golden wound medicine and cloth strips and handed them to Shen Yuanwei.
"I heard that the prince is afraid of others touching him. If I bandage him, he will definitely not do it. You come."
Shen Yuanwei took the cloth strip and medicine.
Holding King Rui's wrist and looking at the hideous wound that was still bleeding, she gently blamed King Rui, "It's been bleeding all the time, and you didn't say anything? If no one finds out, you're going to let it keep bleeding, right?"
Prince Rui obediently stretched out his hand and let his sister apply medicine to stop the bleeding, still without saying a word.
Shen Yuanwei continued, "Doesn't it hurt? Every day you either bang your head against the wall or cut your wrists with a dagger. You've cut my wrists into dense scars. It's so depressing to see—"
When King Rui heard her say "it's so ugly", his eyelashes trembled and he subconsciously wanted to take his hand back.
Shen Yuanwei grabbed his wrist, "What are you doing? Do you really not want to live?"
King Rui lowered his head in grievance, and a voice in his heart said slowly -
"Ugly, I won't show it to my sister."
Shen Yuanwei was both angry and amused.
"You went to slap a mosquito with your ears, didn't you? I mean I'm worried to death. Worried, worried about people, not because I think you're ugly."
Only then did King Rui stop struggling.
Shen Yuanwei found him a little amused, "Now you know how to be beautiful? Are you afraid that people will think you're ugly? Then why didn't you think about whether it would be ugly when you cut your wrists?"
She wrapped the strips of cloth around King Rui's hands and asked him, "You were fine these past few months, why did you cut your wrists last night, huh?"
King Rui lowered his head and said nothing.
Shen Yuanwei asked again, "Why did you cut your wrists? If you don't answer, I will keep asking you until you are willing to tell me."
Prince Rui pursed his lips, glanced at Shen Yuanwei secretly, then lowered his head and answered in his heart.
"I shouldn't be alive."
"It's all my fault."
"If I had finished drinking that bowl of bitter porridge obediently, my mother and sister wouldn't have quarreled over it. My mother bled a lot and almost died, and my sister almost died too..."
"I deserve to die."
"If I die, my mother and sister won't quarrel anymore."
Shen Yuanwei's hand movements slowed down.
She looked down at the quiet and well-behaved boy and sighed softly.
She tied the cloth into a knot and patted King Rui's head gently.
"You fool, I never thought that you committed suicide by slitting your wrists because of that bowl of porridge."
"Why do you think that the conflict between your mother and I is just because of your bowl of porridge?"
"Even if you drank up your bowl of porridge last night, I would still have a heavy bleeding and a difficult labor. Your brother the Emperor and I would still be able to find out that it was your mother who gave you the medicine. At that time, your mother and I would still have a conflict and a fight to the death—"
"So you see, the conflict between her and me has nothing to do with whether you drink porridge or not. This matter was caused by your mother wanting to harm me. It was not something you did wrong. You don't need to feel guilty about it, and you don't need to punish yourself for it."
Prince Rui looked at Shen Yuanwei slowly.
real?
Is it really not him who harmed his mother and sister?
Isn't he really a damned sinner?
Shen Yuanwei coaxed him with a smile.
"It's really not your fault. If you don't believe me, you can go ask your mother. She will definitely tell you that she was wrong about what happened last night. You have nothing to do with it from the beginning to the end."
"If she knew that it was she who caused you to slit your wrists and commit suicide, she would definitely regret it."
King Rui's eyelashes trembled.
It turns out that he didn't get into any trouble last night and he didn't hurt anyone.
He felt relieved and gave Shen Yuanwei a bright smile.
Shen Yuanwei asked him gently, "Did you not eat well today, and did you not take medicine well? Let's ask Brother Xiao to ask his chef to make you something delicious, okay?"
King Rui nodded slightly.
Shen Yuanwei asked again, "What do you want to eat? Porridge or noodles?"
King Rui blinked and answered in his heart, "Noodles."
Shen Yuanwei smiled, "Okay, let's eat noodles, the thin noodles, and then take a nap. We'll have a big meal tomorrow morning, okay?"
King Rui smiled shyly and quickly lowered his head.
Xiao Lingzhao watched from the side in amazement.
Prince Rui clearly didn't say anything, and no one knew how Yuan Wei understood what he meant.
When he heard Yuan Wei say that Prince Rui wanted to eat noodles, he did not hesitate and immediately turned around and went out to ask someone to prepare it.
…
Outside the yard.
Queen Mother Jiang and Xie Junlin, who was in casual clothes, stood quietly.
Shen Yuanwei did not deliberately lower her voice, so Queen Mother Jiang heard every word she said.
She covered her lips with tears.
She didn't expect that Ayou committed suicide because of that bowl of porridge!
Ah You felt that it was his bowl of porridge that caused the quarrel between his mother and sister. He was the one who harmed his mother and sister, so he felt that he was unforgivable and deserved to die...
This silly child!
It's clearly not his fault, why is he taking it upon himself?
Queen Mother Jiang felt heartbroken when she thought that Ayou almost died in that pool of blood.
She regretted it.
She shouldn't have dragged Ah You into this last night. She was the one who harmed her son. It was her fault...
Xie Junlin looked at her sideways.
"Mother, do you still want Ah You to stay away from Shen Yuanwei?"
"If you still hope that Shen Yuanwei won't get close to your little son, then I will go in now and tell her not to worry about your little son. You can take your little son back to your bedroom and wait for death."
Queen Mother Jiang looked at Xie Junlin with tears in her eyes.
She choked up and said, "Why do you have to speak so harshly? I'm just afraid that if Ah You continues to get entangled with her, he will fall deeply in love with her and get hurt in the future..."
Xie Junlin interrupted her.
"He will get hurt in the future, but that's a matter for the future. If you don't let Shen Yuanwei take care of him now, he will die in front of you now."
"Look, you coaxed him for a whole day, but he still refused to take medicine and eat because you didn't understand what he was thinking. But as soon as he stepped into Shen Yuanwei's room, Shen Yuanwei easily understood his heart and figured out the crux of his suicide. She coaxed him to open his heart and make him willing to eat obediently."
"Mother, you have to take care of the present first, so that you can look forward to the future. If he dies now, what future will there be?"
Xie Junlin looked at the house with a faint smile on his face.
"Besides, I don't think that 'not being able to get' is such a painful thing. You see, she can't stay with me forever now, and I can't get her, but I still think it's a blessing to know her, because she gave me two children -"
"I think it's the same with Ayou."
"He may never get Shen Yuanwei, and he may be tortured by this hopeless relationship in a few years, but he will still be grateful to Shen Yuanwei for appearing in his life and pulling him out of the darkness step by step."
