"Yes, I won't try to fool you. Let Yuancheng talk to you slowly."
The teacher told them all to leave. Xie Yuancheng's eyes were brimming with tears, and I felt incredibly guilty.
"I won't faint next time, don't be sad~" I reached out to hug Xie Yuancheng. The scene in the dream was so real. Seeing them all standing alive in front of me, there was nothing better than this!
"Ying'er~" Xie Yuancheng's voice softened. I smelled his scent, and I was so jealous of it. He always had that sweet fragrance.
I touched the blanket and there really was a book. I quickly took it out and said, "I just dreamed about historical anecdotes, and this book really exists."
"What's going on? Has Master come to Linyang?" Xie Yuancheng, unusually, didn't try to take my place; he was completely dejected.
"Yuancheng, let me tell you, although this is a very far-fetched story, I remember it very clearly." I placed the book in his hand; all my things belonged to him.
The scenes in my dream were still vivid in my mind, and I told Xie Yuancheng everything I had seen. By the time I finished, it was already dark outside, and I had slept for a very long time, more than a day and a night.
"Why didn't Master appear in my dream to make Ying'er suffer!" Xie Yuancheng is so cute. He said that I was injured by the Crown Prince and haven't fully recovered yet.
Having given birth to three children, I never got a proper rest, always chasing after him, so my health isn't as good as the average person's. He's usually very careful about his health, so I blame the shopkeeper for taking up my energy.
"Yuancheng~ Little Chengcheng~ Hurry up and make the arrangements, let's not fall into their trap." I leaned against him, Xie Yuancheng was still talking, I tugged at his sleeve and he stopped.
"I need to send someone to find my master and have him transfer all the abilities he gave you to me. Ying'er, you have no idea how scared I was when you fainted. What would I do if you didn't wake up?"
I cupped his face in my hands and said, "No, this must be fate, letting me help you from behind the scenes. I'm so happy."
"But I'm not happy, I'm sad, heartbroken, and my heart aches for Ying'er~"
Xie Yuancheng's eyes started to well up with tears again. I leaned over to kiss him, but he didn't dare to use any force. I told him he was being too cautious.
"Go take care of business first. You yourself are riddled with illnesses. If it weren't for the shopkeeper and the others helping you get better last time, I don't know if you would have been able to escape so many calamities."
"How dare you say that! If we hadn't secretly run away, we wouldn't have been separated and would have ended up hurting each other."
"Yes~ I really want to do things for you, my dear Marquis. Go and have someone prepare some food, and then go and arrange things. I've already told you, if you delay, I'll ignore you."
"Ying'er~ I don't want to leave you~" Xie Yuancheng wouldn't leave. I knew he was worried, but this matter was very important.
"Yuancheng, I'm so hungry! You can't let me go hungry!"
"No." Xie Yuancheng picked me up and covered me with a thin cloth: "I will take Ying'er with me wherever I go, and I will never let you out of my sight."
"Such a cunning and domineering marquis, he's so childish."
"That's exactly what I want! I don't want to be separated from Ying'er. You have no idea how scared I am!"
Xie Yuancheng rarely softened his temper, so I propped myself up and hugged him. Anyway, it was still early, so it was good to let him act spoiled.
"We've only just begun and haven't contacted the capital yet, Ying'er, don't worry. The teachers are going to deliver a message this time, but they've changed it to a trip. They've been so busy, it's good for the whole family to go on a long trip."
"Really? I saw that Yan'er was taken away. I'm worried that you've started making your plans."
"No, but the position of Grand Tutor will likely be uprooted. I didn't expect the old emperor to be so shrewd. This is a good opportunity to give him a big gift so that Linyang can get through this safely."
"No matter what, nothing will happen if we don't send it. They just like to stir up trouble and want others to take the fall for them. They don't realize how big their appetite is. They should be careful not to get into trouble."
"Yes, ignore them. I'll go out and take care of it after Ying'er falls asleep."
"You work too hard, you always wait until I'm asleep before you go. Next time I'll lock you out."
"You dare!" Xie Yuancheng's eyes started to glare, and I quickly hugged his neck tightly, burying my head in his arms like an ostrich. "I'm not going to waste my breath on you. I'll personally serve you, my lady, and you can eat properly."
He just teased me, and I won't say those things to him again. After sleeping all day, my eyes lit up when I saw something delicious.
Xie Yuancheng started making arrangements, saying that I couldn't eat this or touch that, and many dishes were being moved around in front of me, but I couldn't eat any of them.
"Mommy~ Waaah~" I was arguing with Xie Yuancheng about the dishes when Xizhi ran in from outside crying. I was about to hug him when Xie Yuancheng picked him up first.
"Daddy~ I want Mommy~" Xi Zhi reached out for me to hug him, but Xie Yuancheng took two steps back while holding him, successfully avoiding me.
"Of course Daddy wants Mommy, your Mommy is Daddy's darling~"
"Mommy~ Waaah~" Xi Zhi was waving, and I asked Xie Yuancheng to give me a hug. He glanced at me several times, and I was about to hug his leg before he finally hugged me from behind. He was worried that I would fall, so he held me very carefully.
"Hehe~" Xi Zhi finally smiled in my arms, hugging my index finger and acting cute: "Mommy~"
"Is it just the younger brother who came? Where did the older sister go?"
"Haha~" Xi Zhi started clapping, but I was too stupid to answer. Xie Yuancheng had me carry half a cup of tea, and then he carried Xi Zhi over.
The two little ones must have known their mother had fainted, and they were worried. Xizhi can run around everywhere, so that's how she was able to get in.
I wasn't even eating properly. Xie Yuancheng held Xizhi and watched me eat. If I didn't eat the food he picked for me, Xizhi wouldn't even let me hold her little hand. It was really too much. I didn't want to ask Xie Yuancheng where Su Ling had gone, otherwise he wouldn't let me hold Bao'er's son later.
"Xizhi, your mother is such a good girl, she has finished all her food."
"Hehe~" The father and son started to put on a charade.
Xi Zhi struggled to get down and ran off again in a flash. The nanny followed behind, and I wanted to follow too. Xie Yuancheng told me to rest for another night and go play with the children tomorrow.
"Really? You can't just let me go to the courtyard for a little while."
"No, Ying'er can go all day. They'll be learning a lot of things later, so they won't have time to play with you."
"Sigh, they have to learn so much at such a young age. My children are so pitiful."
"Who says otherwise? I was forced to learn a whole bunch of things I can't even remember when I was just one year old. They're so lucky. And hey, go lie down now, or you won't be able to get up tomorrow morning."
"Yes, he's really fierce." I jumped into his arms and asked Xie Yuancheng to carry me back.
I only ate a little of the food and then I didn't want to eat anymore. Xie Yuancheng thought that Xizhi was deliberately allowed to come in and then leave. If my youngest son wasn't here, I don't think I could have finished even half a bowl of rice.
I knew he was going to leave after I fell asleep, so I deliberately kept my eyes open and watched him, preventing Xie Yuancheng from leaving.
