After these twelve words, Empress Xiao could no longer hold back. Even though she tried her best to control her shaking hands, if Chu Yan's face had not been too pale, she would have slapped him hard.
Hang!
He actually said it so seriously.
Empress Xiao took a deep breath and told herself that she must calm down, not get angry, and not let Chu Yan lead her by the nose. She had to figure out what was wrong with Chu Yan.
Empress Xiao adjusted her mood and tried to soften her tense and stern face, then she said, "Yan'er, your majesty can promise you."
Chu Yan raised his eyes, his gaze still deep and cold.
"But Queen Mother wants to know why?"
Empress Xiao asked again.
Chu Yan didn't say anything for a long time. He lowered his eyes and fell into silence. Empress Xiao showed great patience.
After a while, Chu Yan said, "What could be the reason? Of course, I want her, and she is indispensable. But now she is Feng Ling's woman. If I want to snatch her away, I can only get her if I ascend to that position."
Crazy, crazy, really crazy.
"What about Qingyue? Just two days ago, you were desperate for the girl from the Qing family, and after just one day, you've changed your mind? Chu Yan, are you crazy, or is your mother crazy?"
Empress Xiao's forehead twitched and she felt extremely panicked.
"There is no Qingyue, only Qin Wan."
Chu Yan said.
Empress Xiao couldn't figure it out, and she felt anxious and powerless.
Empress Xiao couldn't convince herself to believe Chu Yan's words no matter what. Love? It has to be Qin Wan? Stop talking nonsense.
But after this incident, she no longer dared to claim that she understood her son. Looking at Chu Yan's cold and indifferent face, Empress Xiao was anxious but had no idea what to do.
"Mother, why are you speculating so much? There's no point in digging into the details. I've agreed to your request. Isn't this what you've always wanted me to do? Now that I've agreed, no matter what the reason behind it, shouldn't you be happy?"
Empress Xiao's expression was very complicated.
No, she wasn't happy at all, and even felt a little nervous.
She was really afraid that her son was driven crazy by the stimulation.
But obviously, she couldn't ask anything.
If she pressed the issue further, they might start arguing again, and she didn't want to ruin the mother-son relationship that had just been eased.
"Okay, Mother understands."
In the end, Empress Xiao said this with a frown.
"Then you should have a good rest. Mother will return to the palace first."
"good."
Before leaving the room, Empress Xiao turned back with some concern, "Yan'er, you're not doing anything stupid, are you?"
Chu Yan raised his eyes, "Don't worry, mother."
After Empress Xiao left Prince You's Mansion, she sat in the carriage back to the palace. She was completely confused and couldn't figure it out. She thought that something must have gone wrong when Qin Wan went to treat A Yan. Could it be that Qin Wan also poisoned A Yan?
Empress Xiao shuddered. It seemed that she should ask the head of the Imperial Hospital to give A Yan a thorough physical examination.
…
Qing Yue walked out of Prince You's Mansion, and before she stepped onto the carriage that Mo Yu had brought, she saw Feng Ling galloping towards her. He was riding a chestnut horse, which raised its hooves and neighed, and stopped at the gate of Prince You's Mansion, in front of Qing Yue.
It was obvious that he was galloping, with beads of sweat on his forehead, and his phoenix eyes were cold and clear, with a look of anxiety.
I think he came all the way here after returning from the palace and hearing that she had come to Prince You's Mansion.
"A Ling."
Qingyue called out to him.
Feng Ling dismounted, and without leaving a trace, he glanced at her outer cloak and slightly swollen eyes, then took a step forward and held her in his arms, "Fourth brother, how is it?"
Qing Yue shook her head, "It's fine now."
"That's good."
Feng Ling nodded.
At this time, Mo Yu stood beside the carriage and bowed his head to Feng Ling. Feng Ling waved his hand and said, "Get up. I came here in a hurry to take the princess home. I know your master is seriously injured, so I will not enter the mansion to disturb you."
After he finished speaking, he put his arm around Qing Yue's waist, jumped on the horse, and with a wave of the whip, the horse turned around and rushed towards the Qing family.
The wind blew past, messing up the hair, which flew up in the air and tangled with the phoenix feathers.
After leaving Chang'an Street, the horses slowed down and found another road with fewer people. He sat on the horses and strolled towards Qingyue, taking a leisurely stroll.
"A Ling, Chu Yan was seriously injured and unconscious. He asked me to come and save his life. I'm a doctor, and I can't just stand by and watch someone die, so..."
Qing Yue's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she took the initiative to explain.
Her relationship with Chu Yan was complicated and deeply entangled, and she should have avoided suspicion, but her mother's words were absolutely right. Apart from her fourteen-year relationship with Chu Yan, she was also a doctor whose fundamental purpose was to save lives.
Just thinking of the familiar crabapple tree she saw in Prince You's Mansion, hearing Chu Yan's mumbling in her dream, and that hug, she felt sorry.
Whether in the past or now, she has always been steadfast and loyal in her feelings.
Since she and A Ling have already expressed their feelings to each other, she should never waver between two men. When she first woke up, she was determined to make her feelings clear and distanced herself from Chu Yan. But the hug and the tears she shed today were beyond her duty.
Feng Ling was a smart person. As soon as he saw the blood-stained clothes, he could probably guess what had happened. Apart from the hug, there was no blood stain on that part of the body.
So, she felt a little sorry and explained first.
"He's a little stuck in the past, so..."
It's a bit difficult to talk about, I don't know how to describe it.
"Silly girl."
The next moment, he heard a doting voice in his ears. It was Feng Ling's low and clear voice.
"Silly girl, you don't need to explain. I understand everything and I believe you."
Qing Yue's heart felt full, and the feeling of being trusted made all her pain and loss disappear in an instant.
Mother is right. If Feng Ling loves her, she will trust her.
She turned her head, raised her chin, and looked at the man behind her who was holding her in his arms. His black hair was long and his eyebrows were elegant and beautiful. Her shadow was reflected in his phoenix eyes. The cold and tyrannical aura he once had disappeared without a trace, and he turned back into the elegant and noble young man he once was.
Bang bang bang.
The beating in my heart is warm and vibrating, that is the sound of my heartbeat.
Qing Yue thought that she fell in love with Feng Ling in just over a year. It was not only because they were each other's salvation, nor was it because she was moved by his risking his life to save her. It was obvious that he understood her anxiety and everything about her, and was willing to protect her heart that had been broken and then glued together.
His trust in her was the reason why she was willing to give everything.
The reason why she and Chu Yan could no longer be together was that after the incident in the teahouse, the trust between them collapsed, which led to the inexplicable hatred and anger that followed.
"A Ling, you are so nice."
Qingyue said softly.
Her eyes were bright and clear, warm and moving.
"Is that all?"
Feng Ling smiled. His little girl was soft-hearted, kind-hearted, and easily moved.
He slowly saw the shadow of the once arrogant Qing Yue in her.
"A Ling, I love you so much..."
