Pingyang lowered his voice, but couldn't control his anxiety.
Feng Ling took two steps forward. The head of the Imperial Hospital stopped in front of Feng Ling and reported, "Your Highness, the toxins in the princess' body have been basically eliminated, and the fatal wound in her heart has been treated. However, the princess has lost too much blood and is very weak. Although her life is not in danger, she will need to recuperate for a few days. It is estimated that the princess should wake up at midnight."
As soon as the imperial physician finished speaking, Feng Ling's eyes turned red almost instantly, but he tilted his head, closed his eyes, and then said, "This king understands."
"That's great, Sixth Princess is fine now, Fourth Brother..."
Pingyang, who was standing aside, said in a low voice with red eyes.
Feng Ling nodded, and the breath he had been holding finally relaxed. He was almost impatient to step into the house.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty. Since the princess is fine now, I will take my leave."
At this time, Qing Ziyuan's voice sounded behind her. Feng Ling turned around and realized that Qing Ziyuan had not left.
He paused and looked at the young general in front of him. His body was straight, and his wisdom and sharpness were hidden in his eyes.
Thinking of his desperate rescue on the clifftop, and the few words he blurted out at the critical moment of danger, Feng Ling pursed his lips. He felt that the young master of the Qing family must have vaguely sensed something unusual, such as Wan'er's identity...
However, now is not the right time to talk about this, and it is not his turn to talk about it. Let's wait until Wan'er wakes up to talk about it.
"You've worked hard, Major General. Go back soon. General Qing and his wife still need your help to comfort them."
"Yes, I will take my leave."
Qing Ziyuan bowed and turned to leave.
"Pingyang, you should go back too. Wan'er hasn't woken up yet. The imperial physician said she might not wake up until midnight. There's no point in you staying here."
Pingyang bit her lip. She didn't want to leave actually. She had a lot to say to Qin Wan, but she also knew that it was getting dark now, and it would be against the rules for her to stay here.
"Then I'll come back tomorrow morning."
After leaving these words, Pingyang left.
After sending everyone away, Feng Ling took a deep breath and walked into the house.
The room was dimly lit, with only two candles burning, emitting a reddish glow.
Qing Yue was lying on the bed, her black hair had all spread out, her face was pale without a trace of blood. She was only wearing a small shirt, the wound on her heart was bandaged with gauze and applied with medicine, and a thin blanket covered her chest, revealing her round and white shoulders.
But Feng Ling did not have any romantic thoughts in his mind at this moment. He sat on the edge of the bed, gently holding her hand, and finally could not hold back the tears that fell drop by drop.
"Qingyue, you are such a cruel girl."
He said softly.
The scene on the top of the cliff almost became his nightmare, and that scene appeared when he closed his eyes.
How could he bear to do that to this little girl?
But the person on the bed was sleeping soundly, unaware of his heartache.
"You are so soft-hearted and kind-hearted. What are you going to do in the future?"
He asked again, as if asking her, but also as if asking himself.
Chu Yan is still staying in the courtyard next door. The imperial physician had reported before that his internal energy had backfired and he was seriously injured. He also had some self-inflicted wounds and needed to be nursed back to health. It would take at least three months for him to fully recover.
"If you knew he was so badly injured, you would be heartbroken. He doesn't want the throne, he doesn't want anything, he only wants you. What if one day he knew the truth?"
If Qingyue was awake, Feng Ling would naturally not ask these questions.
"But Yue'er, I will never let go, never."
Feng Ling held Qing Yue's hand tightly, as if it was a declaration.
As the night grew deeper, Feng Ling stared at the little girl on the bed without blinking. Finally, he lowered his head carefully and kissed her lightly on the lips, loving her to the core.
…
The other side.
Qin family.
Qin Ningyue tossed and turned. Her heart had been beating wildly since she came back from the palace.
The emperor had issued a gag order at the time, and not a single word of what happened in the Golden Palace today could be spread outside. Even if the emperor hadn't given the order, she would never dare to spread a single word.
What Qin Wan and Qing Yunyao talked about today four years ago all involved royal secrets. She only spread them because she was tired of living.
But, there is one thing...
Qin Ningyue stood up and took two steps left and right, her thoughts going back to four years ago, when she first met Feng Ling...
That day, a daughter of the Jiang family held a birthday party, and she was invited to attend. However, halfway through, the noble ladies and others suddenly began to talk in a low voice, staring at a certain place with excited eyes. She subconsciously followed the crowd's gaze and looked over, only to find that Prince Yu had arrived.
That day, he was wearing a crimson robe, and he looked extremely handsome, elegant and graceful.
Who doesn't know the Sixth Prince? He was crowned a king at a young age, is handsome, his mother is the emperor's most beloved imperial concubine, and he is also the emperor's most beloved prince. Which noble lady in Kyoto would not want to marry him?
He walked in the sunlight, and his men handed a wooden box to the noble lady of the Jiang family, wishing her a happy birthday.
The box opened, revealing a deep-sea pink pearl.
The eldest daughter of the Jiang family blushed and thanked him quickly. The eyes of the other noble ladies were full of envy, thinking that he had come in person to celebrate the birthday of the noble daughter of the Jiang family, but they didn't expect that he was walking straight towards her.
God knows, at that moment her heart almost jumped out of her chest.
She pretended to be reserved and looked away, not daring to look directly and openly at this noble prince. However, she didn't expect him to actually stand in front of her. His voice, as clear as water dripping through stone, rang out, "Miss Qin, I have something to talk to you about. Could you please go over there and talk?"
With just these words, all the noble ladies froze in their places, including the noble lady from the Jiang family. She blinked and looked at her in confusion, then her brows slowly furrowed, and tears seemed to gather in her eyes. It was at this moment that everyone understood that Prince Yu Feng Ling appeared here specifically to look for the legitimate daughter of the Qin family.
Qin Ningyue felt unprecedented satisfaction in her heart at this moment.
"good."
She nodded modestly, left the banquet with Feng Ling, and went to the small garden behind the Jiang family.
It was obvious that he had something very important to ask. The small garden was guarded by his subordinates and no one could break in.
Such a strict preparedness made her involuntarily nervous.
"My Lord, what is the matter?"
She couldn't help but speak first.
Feng Ling stared at her face for a long while before asking, "Do you recognize this?"
It was a jade pendant, made of purple colored glaze, full of luster and of excellent quality. There was a word "moon" carved on it with a knife. It was obviously something for a girl.
Her heart skipped a beat. She didn't recognize this jade pendant!
