Chapter 10 Creating Chance Encounters
Shi Yu would not be so narcissistic as to think that Wei Qingyan loved him and was taking the initiative to get close to him now that she had regained her female body.
Could it be that it has something to do with his good health, and she is using this method to heal him?
When he gave up his soul fire, although he was not stupid, his vitality was declining and he was often tired and weak. He had the will but not the strength to do many things. He was truly a weak and sickly person.
But after meeting Wei Qingyan by chance in the hot spring pool, he recovered as before, and his skills were even better than before, otherwise he would not have woken up early when she kissed him for the second time.
Fortunately, Jingzhe spoke out in time. Being kissed by her like that really tested his self-control.
He also felt a little regretful that Jingzhe spoke too early and scared her away.
Pursing his lips and gathering his wandering thoughts, Shi Yu circulated his internal energy and his body was as good as when he came.
If it was to heal his body, did she already know about the soul fire?
Are you also worried about his estrangement in the past, so you refuse to recognize him and just want to repay him and then have no contact with him again?
Thinking of this possibility, Shi Yu felt a sudden surge of pain in his heart.
Soon, he dismissed the idea.
The monk said that he would not tell her about the soul fire to avoid burdening her, and a monk should not go back on his word.
Thinking of something, he suddenly stood up.
He became sick because of his sacrifice of soul fire. Now that he has recovered, has the soul fire returned?
If this is true, what should Wei Qingyan do?
Will she die without the soul fire?
He walked quickly to the window, but Wei Qingyan was no longer outside.
She was able to sneak into the private room without making any noise, which showed that her skills were better than before and she didn't look like she was in trouble.
Why is that?
For the first time, Shi Yu felt that his brain was not enough, but he couldn't ask her directly.
His gaze fell on the burnt door curtain again. Although he couldn't guess the reason for the time being, he could make it easier for her to approach him next time, if she still needed it.
Thinking of this, he called Dong Zang in and whispered instructions...
Wei Qingyan returned to the private room. The sugar figures of the twelve zodiac animals had been made and the master packed up and left.
When Xiaoxiao saw her come back, she quickly took out half of it and handed it to her with a smile on her face.
Wei Qingyan saw that there were still traces of candy on the corners of her mouth. Thinking that it was not good for children to eat too much candy, he took it and wiped the corners of her mouth for her. "Are you happy?"
The little head nodded vigorously, with a flattering look, which made Wei Qingyan's heart soften. He told A Lu to pack up the sugar man, and took her to watch a shadow play before returning to the private room for lunch.
On the way back home, Xiaoxiao was tired after playing for most of the day, and her head dozed off little by little. Wei Qingyan had no choice but to hold her on his lap and pat her back gently, "Lean on your aunt and sleep."
In the past six months since losing his mother, the child has suffered a lot and been treated coldly, which is why he is so dependent and cautious in front of her.
Wei Qingyan thought of his childhood self.
My mother often said that she was the future head of the family and the helmsman of the 100,000-strong National Defense Army. She should grow up to be an upright man, so how could she act like a girl and act coquettishly in front of her mother?
Since she was a child, she has been subjected to her mother's strictness and disappointment when she feels that she is not good enough. Her mother would only show a little kindness to her in front of outsiders, but it made her feel very nervous.
She was happy, but also worried that this rare warmth would end at any time, and would eventually be met with even harsher condemnation.
When she was young, she even suspected that she was not her mother's child. But when she returned home injured after accompanying her father to war for the first time, her mother's tears almost drowned her.
She saw the heartache in her mother's tear-swollen eyes, and she felt ashamed of herself for having such thoughts.
Her mother was just strict, not unloving.
When the news of her death in battle reached the capital, her mother fainted and has been in poor health ever since.
Wei Qingyan lifted the carriage curtain slightly and said to A Lu, who was driving, "A Lu, let's go to Qingtai Lane."
There is the General Protector's Mansion in Qingtai Lane.
Wanyi, Shi Yu's younger sister, married the fifth elder brother of the emperor, Prince Jing. After the marriage, she lived with him in his fiefdom. Her mother was seriously ill, and Wanyi was worried about her. She came to the capital in person to take her mother to Prince Jing's fiefdom.
The eldest lady's sisters were not close to them. Except for the eldest sister who married in the capital, the other three sisters followed their grandmother back to their hometown to start their own families.
Today, there are only a few servants left in the General's Mansion.
Wei Qingyan didn't stop the carriage, but just watched from afar through the gap in the curtain.
In the entire general's mansion, no one knew that she was a girl, except for her parents, Nanny Qiu who was by her mother's side, and Abu, whom she brought home.
Aunt Qiu was my mother's dowry and was loyal to her.
“Although the Emperor knows that you are a woman, the heart of an emperor is hard to predict. Since ancient times, emperors have been most afraid of military generals who command large armies.
If the secret is exposed, and the civil and military officials force the emperor to sentence our Wei family to the crime of deceiving the emperor, it is hard to say whether the emperor will follow suit."
Her mother often told her these words and strictly required her to be careful and protect her identity.
Wei Qingyan carefully reviewed the eighteen years he had spent disguised as a man, wondering if it was possible that he had been exposed inadvertently.
Just as she was lost in thought, she heard the neighing of a horse. Her eyes suddenly became sharp and she jumped out of the carriage holding Xiaoxiao.
"I'm really sorry, the horse suddenly went crazy. Are you okay?" Dong Zang looked apologetic.
Wei Qingyan glanced at Xiaoxiao, who was awakened but still calm, then looked at the fallen horse, and then turned to Dongzang, "Your horse is not an ordinary horse, why did it suddenly go crazy?"
"Please forgive me, young lady. I haven't found out the reason yet, but this isn't the first time. I'm just sorry for getting you into trouble."
He glanced at the carriage that had been smashed to pieces at the Du Mansion and took out a banknote from his pocket. "Miss, I'm afraid this carriage needs some serious repairs. This is our compensation. Please accept it."
From what he said, it seems that this kind of thing has happened before. Who in the capital dares to lay hands on Prince Rong's horse?
Wei Qingyan looked at A Lu suspiciously.
A Lu nodded slightly at her.
Wei Qingyan frowned slightly. Is Shi Yu’s current situation so bad?
Dong Zang seemed to have just noticed A Lu at this moment and asked happily, "A Lu? Why is it you? And who is this girl?"
The two masters had met frequently before, so A-Lu and Dong-zang were naturally familiar with each other. Thinking of the Marquis' instructions, he replied, "This is our young lady, the Marquis's biological sister."
It is no secret in the capital that Marquis Anyuan has a lost sister.
Upon hearing this, Dong Zang bowed again and introduced himself, "I am Dong Zang from the Rong Palace, meeting Miss Du. I apologize for any offense. If you don't mind, we can give you a ride."
The atmosphere in the Wei Dynasty is quite open. There must be a reason for this. With A Lu and Xiao Xiao around, Dong Zang's invitation is not too abrupt.
Wei Qingyan turned to look at the carriage of Prince Rong's Mansion.
The person in the car seemed to have heard this and lifted the curtain to look over. After a moment's pause, he asked, "Are you looking for Du Xueyi?"
Shi Yu was not pretending to be stunned. The first time they met was at night. He had closed his eyes the whole time in the private room. This was the first time he saw Wei Qingyan wearing women's clothes.
Her back is straight, not as gentle as an ordinary woman, but rather as tough as a young man. However, her facial features are delicate, her face is small and her skin is as white as jade, which softens her toughness.
Plus the clean and elegant temperament...
Shi Yu still remembers the shock and heartbreak he felt when he sewed up her body and discovered that she was a woman. It turned out that she looked so beautiful when dressed as a woman.
"Yes." Wei Qingyan also looked at him. That day in the hot spring, she said that she came to Beijing to find her relatives.
"The prince and Miss Du actually know each other?" Dong Zang smiled. "That's like a flood that has washed away the Dragon King Temple."
Shi Yu glanced at him indifferently and asked him to create an opportunity to meet, but he didn't expect that he noticed that someone had drugged the horse, so he took advantage of the situation and used such a dangerous method as crashing the car.
Fortunately, she was fine. He looked at her and said, "Your brother and I are old friends. Come up. I'll give you a ride."
