Chapter 295: Sowing Dissension
After hearing Doctor Li say that Yu Qinghuan was not seriously injured, Cheng Gongjin felt relieved. However, he did not expect that her emotions would be so greatly affected by Mu Huaian's incident.
Yu Qinghuan pressed his hand and whispered, "I'm fine."
Cheng Gongjin nodded and said, "Don't move around for the next two days. Just rest in the mansion."
Yu Qinghuan frowned slightly, "No, I..."
Seeing Yu Qinghuan's thoughts, Cheng Gongjin said in a deep voice: "If he wants to see you, he will come to find you. If he doesn't want to see you, you won't be able to find him even if you search the entire capital."
Yu Qinghuan: “…” That’s what you said, but can’t we find the person by going to the Duke Dingguo’s Mansion?
There is no need to go so far as to search the entire capital.
Cheng Gongjin suddenly raised his hand, touched her head, and said softly, "Your health is important, be obedient."
Yu Qinghuan was stunned for a moment and looked at him blankly.
This was the first time he was so gentle.
Sang Ru watched from the side and thought, if the young master was gone in the future, she would probably have to rely on Lord Cheng to make the girl obedient. After all, the second master and the man in the palace had no way to deal with the girl.
When Doctor Li left, he led Cheng Gongjin outside the screen and whispered to him, "You are already in your last trimester. Remember not to have sex anymore, and don't get emotionally aroused."
Although Miss Yu is in good health, she should still be more careful and not torment herself like this.
Moreover, we still haven't figured out what's wrong with his body, so we can't have sex too frequently.
Thinking of this, he asked, "How are you feeling lately?"
Only then did Cheng Gongjin bring up the matter of the poison.
Doctor Li frowned. He had heard of these things, but had never come into contact with them. He just said that he would go back and look through ancient books and asked him to take care of his health during this period.
...
That night, Yu Qinghuan drank the medicine and was helped by Cheng Gongjin to lie down.
Seeing that he not only didn't leave but also undressed, she was a little surprised, "Aren't you going back to your room to sleep tonight?"
Cheng Gongjin nodded, "I'll stay here with you for the next few days."
Yu Qinghuan was stunned. She watched him get on the bed and lie down beside her, still unable to react.
Cheng Gongjin placed his palm against her slightly bulging belly and rubbed it slowly. Although his voice was cold and hard, his tone was much softer. "Does it still hurt?"
Yu Qinghuan shook her head, "It doesn't hurt anymore."
Looking at Cheng Gongjin who suddenly became gentle in front of her, she was actually a little uncomfortable. She even thought of Mu Huaian in a trance because of the similar face.
"Why didn't you tell him about the poisoning?"
She was a little puzzled. Isn't it tiring to carry it all by herself for so many years?
Cheng Gongjin's eyes darkened. Why didn't you say it?
What he did was a life-threatening undertaking. The old emperor's illness did not suddenly worsen, the prince did not suddenly rise to power, and Prince Rui did not suddenly rebel.
He pushed all of this forward step by step.
How can we involve other people in such a matter?
The less people know, the less danger there is.
However, facing Yu Qinghuan's question, Cheng Gongjin did not answer, but just tucked the corners of the quilt for her. His movements were very familiar. After all, he had done this many times when he was taking care of Mu Huaian in the past.
"It's late, go to bed."
Yu Qinghuan wanted to ask more, but saw that Cheng Gongjin had already closed his eyes, obviously thinking of nothing, and finally sighed in his heart.
...
Xie Zhili, who originally wanted to climb over the wall of Cheng Mansion at night to secretly visit Yu Qinghuan, was suddenly dragged to Xifeng Tower by Mu Huaian.
He thought Yu Qinghuan had something to do, so he followed him. But now he saw him eating and drinking by himself, drinking one pot after another, and he looked obviously disappointed.
Apart from anything else, seeing Mu Huaian like this, Xie Zhili felt quite happy. He asked in a frivolous tone, "Did you have a fight?"
Mu Huaian paused in his drinking, his eyes darkened, his throat slightly hoarse from the wine, "You were right before, I was stupid..."
Xie Zhili looked puzzled: What did he say before?
Mu Huaian just smiled bitterly, "She was riding in the same carriage with the teacher...how can she be innocent?"
Previously, he had defended his teacher a lot for this, fearing that Xie Zhili would ruin the reputation of his teacher and Yu Qinghuan.
Hearing this, Xie Zhili finally realized that he had discovered the affair between Yu Qinghuan and Cheng Gongjin.
Looking at him like this, he was in even more pain than when he discovered his relationship with Yu Qinghuan at Zhuangzi, or even when he was at Ningyuan Marquis's mansion, listening to them in the courtyard...
It turned out that he called himself out to drown his sorrows in alcohol and talk about his troubles. Tsk, shouldn't he go to Xie Zhiwen for such a thing?
However, he felt really good when he saw Mu's desperate state.
It's good to quarrel. If you don't sow discord now, when will you do it?
Xie Zhili stood up, poured a glass of wine, placed it in front of Mu Huaian, patted his shoulder, and sighed, "Don't be too sad. Master Cheng looks similar to you. She might have been confused for a moment and mistook Master Cheng for you."
Under the mask, Mu Huaian's face was a little pale.
Yes, I look a lot like the teacher, but the teacher's face is intact.
Xie Zhili sighed and expressed his thoughts, "Even though she's been married once, she's still a little girl. Seeing a good-looking guy, it's inevitable that she'll have some feelings for him. Look at this city, what little girl doesn't like a handsome man?"
Mu Huaian's face turned pale. The handsome man... was not like herself, who lived with a mask on all day long.
Maybe she was tired of it.
Xie Zhili added one last sentence, "But don't think too much about it. She was able to be with you before, so she must not be such a superficial person."
Mu Huaian's heart was broken by Xie Zhili's words, his eyes were red, and he was in so much pain that he couldn't breathe when he thought of the scene he saw today.
He suddenly picked up the wine jug and drank another whole bottle, tears welling up in his eyes. "Ah Huan, you clearly promised me that you would not abandon me, why did you choose the teacher today?"
Why the teacher?
The two most important people to him.
Seeing Mu Huaian in pain and murmuring about Yu Qinghuan, Xie Zhili felt relieved. He finally felt what he had felt before.
God knows, when he discovered that the wild man was Cheng Gongjin, he had been waiting for this day.
It is true that Yu Qinghuan likes Mu Huaian, but her feelings change rapidly. She used to like Xie Zhiwen, then she liked Mu Huaian, and now she may like Cheng Gongjin.
Women’s minds are fickle, who can guarantee that they can always have the upper hand?
Anyway, it seems that Mu Huaian can't accept the relationship between Yu Qinghuan and Cheng Gongjin, so he has to be eliminated.
Xie Zhili curled the corners of his mouth. Today was indeed a good day. No one would compete with him for the child.
He picked up the wine jug and touched the one in Mu Huaian's hand, "We're both wanderers in this world, come, I'll drink with you!"
