Chapter 301 I Really Miss You
When Yu Qinghuan heard Xiao Jinghe say that the child's nose and mouth looked like Cheng Gongjin, she was confused and thought: How is that possible? This child is not Cheng Gongjin's.
She followed Xiao Jinghe's gaze and looked carefully at the child's nose and mouth... In fact, they did look a bit similar.
It should be more like Mu Huaian, but Xiao Jinghe didn't know that and still thought the child was really Cheng Gongjin's.
Meeting Xiao Jinghe's gaze, Yu Qinghuan covered his conscience and said, "I don't think so."
With Yu Qinghuan's words, Xiao Jinghe was forced to completely like this kid.
Mother Xu took the child and looked at him twice more. You know what, he really looks like Lord Cheng.
Sang Ru took her out of the house and considerately closed the door.
In the yard, Mu Huaian and Xie Zhili both had official business to attend to, so they left Cheng Mansion when Yu Qinghuan was resting. Now only Cheng Gongjin, who had taken sick leave, was sitting there.
He was obviously on guard, preventing Xiao Jinghe in the house from taking people away.
At this time, in the room, Xiao Jinghe looked at Yu Qinghuan and said seriously:
"Huanhuan, I won't force you to enter the palace, but could you please come to the palace to see me more often, or stay for a few days?"
Afraid that Yu Qinghuan would refuse, he softened his tone, clearly showing weakness, "Now that I'm in this position, I have many government affairs to attend to. I can't leave the palace to look for you as often as before. I can't see you when I miss you..."
As he spoke, Xiao Jinghe reached out and held Yu Qinghuan's cold little hand, gently stroking the back of her hand with his fingertips, and whispered, "Do you know that every day when I review the memorials, I can't help but think, how great it would be if you were by my side?"
His voice was low and gentle, yet it revealed a barely perceptible fatigue, as if the longing that had been suppressed for so long had finally found an outlet.
"I really missed you."
Especially when it was late at night and everyone was asleep, looking at the empty bedroom where she once lived, he just wished he could lock her up by his side.
Yu Qinghuan pursed her lips, but eventually she softened her heart, nodded, and said softly, "I will visit you often."
As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Jinghe's eyes suddenly lit up, the corners of his lips curved up, and he gently embraced her in his arms, "I won't force you anymore, you can live wherever you want, even if you want to live in the Cheng Mansion forever, I won't stop you."
Yu Qinghuan didn't expect that Xiao Jinghe's attitude had changed so much in just two months.
Is this man really so easy to coax?
I didn't even do anything to comfort myself.
She asked suspiciously, "Really?"
Xiao Jinghe responded, "Well, as long as you are happy."
In a corner where Yu Qinghuan couldn't see, his thin lips curled up slightly. After Cheng Gongjin died, he would find a reason to take back the Cheng Mansion and give it directly to Yu Qinghuan.
At that time, his Huanhuan can stay as long as she wants.
Yu Qinghuan had no idea that Xiao Jinghe had such an idea in mind. She was even thinking about how to tentatively ask about the poison in Cheng Gongjin's body.
Selfishly speaking, she naturally did not want Cheng Gongjin to die. Such a man who could check and balance Xiao Jinghe and respect any choice she made would be the greatest help.
So she took out her old tricks again.
She put her arms around Xiao Jinghe's waist, put her face against his chest, and asked softly, "Can you ask Doctor Chen to check on Cheng Gongjin? He seems to be ill and has looked very bad recently."
Xiao Jinghe's eyes suddenly darkened, and he sneered in his heart, thinking that it would be strange if he didn't look bad.
But he didn't refuse, and followed the woman in his arms, "Okay, I'll ask Doctor Chen to check him out later."
Yu Qinghuan raised her pale little face from his arms, looking somewhat weak, and asked pitifully, "Can it be cured?"
Xiao Jinghe raised his hand and rubbed her head. "If you are sick, you should be able to."
Yu Qinghuan curled the corner of his mouth, the meaning of this sentence was not simple.
If it is a disease, it can be cured.
But Cheng Gongjin is not sick.
What he meant was that he was not going to rescue him and wanted to watch Cheng Gongjin die.
She whispered, "But I don't think he's sick, but rather poisoned..."
Yu Qinghuan said this in a mysterious manner, as if she was only telling Xiao Jinghe about this matter. "I saw him once, and he was fine, but suddenly he vomited blood, his eyes turned red, and he looked like he had gone crazy. It was very scary."
"Xiao Jinghe, can Doctor Chen cure this poison?"
Xiao Jinghe remained silent. He was not a fool. The woman in his arms was obviously testing him.
He didn't know how much Yu Qinghuan knew, but considering Cheng Gongjin's personality, since he was unwilling to hand the person over, he probably wouldn't tell her about the poison.
Did she guess it herself?
Yes, she has always been smart.
Seeing Xiao Jinghe remained silent, Yu Qinghuan called him softly, "Xiao Jinghe?"
Xiao Jinghe pursed his lips slightly, his narrow eyes showing a hint of displeasure, and his voice became a little deeper, "Huanhuan, I am a man."
"Huh?" Yu Qinghuan looked puzzled. He was telling him about Cheng Gongjin's poisoning, so why was he saying this?
It's not like I don't know that he is a man.
Xiao Jinghe lowered his voice and said, "You care about another man in front of me like this, aren't you afraid that I will kill him right now?"
This was the first time Yu Qinghuan heard the man in front of him call himself "I" in front of him. His words and deeds reminded him that he was the emperor of the dynasty and killing a minister was just a matter of a word.
She suddenly remembered the dream she had just had... The entire Duke Dingguo's Mansion, including more than a hundred slaves, was beheaded on the execution ground, all because of a single word from the old emperor.
If Xiao Jinghe really wanted to kill Cheng Gongjin, and Cheng Gongjin died, would the Duke Dingguo's Mansion be able to escape?
Yu Qinghuan suddenly felt a chill on her back and laughed sweetly, "Don't scare me, I'm scared."
Sensing the slight trembling of the person in his arms, the coldness in Xiao Jinghe's eyes faded away and turned into tenderness.
He tightened his arms, pressing Yu Qinghuan deeper into his embrace, rubbing his chin lightly against the top of her head, and sighed softly, "What are you afraid of? I won't kill you."
Yu Qinghuan: “…”
Xiao Jinghe's fingertips caressed Yu Qinghuan's slightly cold cheek, and his thumb gently rubbed her face, "Do you know that in this world, the person I'm most reluctant to hurt is you."
Yu Qinghuan only felt a chill on her back. He was reluctant to hurt her, but he could kill Cheng Gongjin and the others for her.
Seeing Yu Qinghuan remained silent, Xiao Jinghe let go of her and grabbed her hand, pressing it against his chest. "So, don't mention other people all the time. It hurts my heart."
Through the brocade fabric, Yu Qinghuan could feel the rapid and strong heartbeat under his palm.
Xiao Jinghe smiled bitterly, "Do you feel it? It's right here. It always hurts if I can't see you for a day."
"Even if you have someone else in your heart now, or even have a child with someone else—"
He paused and gently kissed Yu Qinghuan's trembling eyelashes, "I accept it too."
Yu Qinghuan stared blankly at his suddenly red eyes, "How can I be worthy of you doing this?"
There are many women in the world, and as long as he wants one, many of them want to enter the palace to accompany him.
Xiao Jinghe said in a hoarse voice: "I love you, it's worth it."
