"I'm so thirsty..."
A voice sounded in his ears, and Shao Lecheng immediately became alert and looked at the person who was mumbling.
"Gou Qiong, Gou Qiong, are you awake?"
Duan Gouqiong slowly opened her eyes. In front of her was a man who seemed to be looking at her with concern. Duan Gouqiong looked at him suspiciously. When her vision cleared, she immediately shouted angrily, "You bastard!"
Following a curse, a slap was also slapped on Shao Lecheng's face.
Shao Lecheng's face turned to one side, and he covered his face with his hands in surprise.
Duan Gouqiong sat up on the bed and was about to continue cursing, but Shao Lecheng took the initiative and said, "I'll go call the doctor."
He stood up and prepared to walk out, but Duan Gouqiong said, "Stop!"
Shao Lecheng paused and did not turn back to look at her.
Duan Gouqiong continued, "You little brat, don't you care about me? You didn't even come to catch me when I jumped off the roof? Why are you pretending to be here to guard me now?"
Facing Duan Gouqiong's sarcastic questioning, Shao Lecheng did not get impatient. He turned around and looked at Duan Gouqiong: "I... everything started because of me. I feel guilty and I have decided that I must protect you. This is not hypocritical, this comes from the heart!"
Duan Gouqiong thought Shao Lecheng would refute and mock her, but his words surprised her.
She looked at Shao Lecheng in surprise: "You, really, care about me? Then why did you sleep with me in the brothel? Is it because you fell in love with this princess?"
If it were any other time, Shao Lecheng would have turned around and left when faced with this kind of question, but it was different now. He knew that every word he said and every action he took could cause Duan Gouqiong to commit suicide.
So he chose to treat Duan Gouqiong well and cherish the present.
"Yes, I like you, despite your bad temper and willful behavior. I want to marry you!"
Duan Gouqiong had just woken up and her brain was a little confused. Shao Lecheng's lines made Duan Gouqiong even more confused.
She held her forehead and looked at Shao Lecheng with surprise in her eyes.
Is this really a dream?
Seeing Duan Gouqiong's silly reaction, without any excitement on her face, Shao Lecheng said with a smile: "Why are you looking at me like an idiot? I really do like you, there's no denying it!"
He walked forward, stretched out his hand to Duan Gouqiong, who was standing on the bed with a stunned look on her face and didn't react at all, and held her in his arms, "I'm afraid of losing you, I want to marry you."
Ni Yueshan and Jing Yuchen had been waiting for Duan Gouqiong and Shao Lecheng to come out. The moment the door opened, Ni Yueshan and Jing Yuchen turned around and saw the two of them walking out hand in hand.
Ni Yueshan nudged Jing Yuchen with her shoulder. Jing Yuchen came back to his senses and spoke first: "Are you planning to be together?"
Duan Gouqiong lowered her head shyly, while Shao Lecheng said seriously, "Yes, we plan to be together. I will take her to the palace to see my father and ask for his permission!"
"Go ahead, the carriage is ready for you!"
Ni Yueshan spoke up and said that she was very happy that the two of them could be together now.
Shao Lecheng and Duan Gouqiong left together. Ni Yueshan looked at their departing figures with a complicated expression.
"No way... we're already together, and now we're going to ask for the Holy Will."
They got married just like that, too fast?
Jing Yuchen chuckled: "Are you envious?"
Ni Yueshan raised an eyebrow, "Isn't that so?"
Jing Yuchen frowned, looking at Ni Yueshan with some dissatisfaction in his eyes: "Did I make you feel unhappy in some way? Are you envious of others?"
Ni Yueshan shrugged helplessly: "I think Shao Lecheng must have said a lot of sweet words just now, and I want to hear them too."
Ni Yueshan grabbed Jing Yuchen's hand coquettishly and shook it, her eyes full of anticipation.
Jing Yuchen chuckled, which gradually turned into a smirk: "Go to bed early, you can dream about anything!"
Then Jing Yuchen put his hands behind his back and walked away.
Ni Yueshan glared at his back: "Stingy man, you'll die if you listen to what I've said!"
Jing Yuchen felt like he was going to die, he was going to die of embarrassment...
In the evening, Ni Yueshan was still waiting for the happy news between Shao Lecheng and Duan Gouqiong, but a servant came to report: "Crown Princess, I heard that the Prime Minister's wife is seriously ill and is dying. Do you want to go and see her?"
Ni Yueshan looked at the servant who was speaking in surprise, then stood up.
After it was getting dark, Ni Yueshan arrived at the Prime Minister's residence. Ni Gaofei was also in the room.
Ni Yueshan had never taken the initiative to tell Ni Gaofei who she was, and now that she appeared in the room, no one knew what Ni Gaofei was thinking.
Ni Yueshan walked to the bedside and looked at Miao Yuan, who was lying on the bed with a sick face. "Isn't my mother under the care of a doctor? How could her condition deteriorate to this point..."
Lying on the hospital bed, dying...
Ni Gaofei looked solemn and sighed, "You've been taking the medicine according to the previous formula and dosage, but your health hasn't improved. It's getting worse day by day. You suddenly fell into a coma these past two days and haven't opened your eyes for two days. Otherwise, I wouldn't have sent someone to the Prince's Mansion to inform you."
Ni Gaofei did not explicitly say whether he knew Ni Yueshan's identity, but the meaning was already very clear: he knew it, and he knew it very well.
Ni Yueshan's expression was serious: "Where's the imperial physician? Where are the other doctors? Have you asked for them?"
Ni Gaofei sighed: "I invited you, but it's useless!"
Ni Yueshan looked back at her with a distressed look. She didn't want anything to happen to Miao Yuan.
Ni Yueshan stood up: "I believe there must be an expert who can wake my mother up!"
