Yu Tanqi's heart was beating rapidly because of Jiang Shi's extremely serious and firm words.
It's as if they are competing to consume the rest of their life's heartbeats.
Her cheek was pressed against his chest, and she could feel his strong heartbeat and the tenderness and enthusiasm of a young man.
Yu Tanqi's eyes were moist, and she naturally did not doubt what he said.
Of course he was sincere.
She blinked gently, and while she was extremely moved, a hint of worry flashed across her eyes.
The more he cared about her, the more worried she became.
She looked up, hugged his neck, and kissed his lips accurately.
Jiang Shi's pupils shrank slightly, then he lowered his eyes, hugged her slender and soft body tightly, and deepened the kiss.
Everything seems to be self-explanatory.
The candlelight cast shadows of the two kissing people on the window.
The night is quiet, the stars are twinkling, and the crescent moon is hidden in the clouds.
…
The next day, Jiang Shi finally didn't have to hide from Yu Tanqi anymore. He breathed a sigh of relief and his steps became much lighter.
He had a wound on his face, and in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he asked the teacher of the Imperial College for a few days' leave, so he could stay in the mansion for the next few days.
In order to make up for making Yu Tanqi sad and angry yesterday, Jiang Shi got up early this morning and cooked a few of her favorite dishes for her.
Green vegetable and lean meat porridge, bird's nest stewed with rock sugar and corn and meat stuffed buns.
Yu Tanqi likes to eat meat and wants meat-filled buns instead of steamed buns. So Jiang Shi also eats meat buns for breakfast and never eats steamed buns again.
"Tan Qi, have some porridge."
Jiang Shi served a small bowl of vegetable and lean meat porridge and placed it in front of Yu Tanqi.
Yu Tanqi took the soup spoon and scooped up the porridge to drink.
She was used to having Jiang Shi take care of her while she ate.
If it happened in someone else's home, if there was an elder or other person in the family, they would probably say a few words. How could a man serve a woman? The woman should stand aside and serve the man first.
Jiang Shi's behavior of taking care of Yu Tanqi in almost every detail was seen by everyone in Wu'an Marquis's Mansion. They all sighed that the prince really loved his fiancée, and Miss Yu was really lucky to have such a gentle, considerate and caring fiancé.
Jiang Shi's gentleness and attentiveness are engraved in his bones, so he quickly realized that something was wrong with Yu Tanqi today.
He frowned slightly as he watched Yu Tanqi lower his eyes and drink porridge in small sips.
It may seem like nothing, but he knew her daily eating habits very well. She would eat buns with porridge and would not eat them alone all the time.
And although she lowered her head and looked like she was drinking the porridge seriously, she could not hide her distracted expression.
Jiang Shi thought she was still concerned about him avoiding her yesterday. Even though he had repeatedly assured her last night, he still said, "Tan Qi, I promise you that something like yesterday will never happen again. I will never hide my injury from you again, and I will never hide from you."
Yu Tanqi blinked and said softly, "Well, I believe you."
She had already finished the porridge in the bowl without realizing it.
Jiang Shi gently held her hand and asked, "Would you like to drink bird's nest?"
"Yeah, drink." She nodded, looking very well-behaved.
Jiang Shi pursed his lips slightly, poured her a bowl of bird's nest, and asked in a low voice: "Did you sleep too late last night and didn't get enough rest? I think you seem a little absent-minded."
"No." Yu Tanqi smiled and said, "Maybe a little. It should be much better after breakfast."
Jiang Shi looked at her, thought for a moment, and said nothing more.
After the two finished their breakfast, Yu Tanqi looked at the wound on Jiang Shi's face and said, "From today on, I will help you apply the medicine."
Jiang Shi naturally wouldn't refuse, "Okay."
Yu Tanqi added, "Including the wounds on your body, I will apply the medicine."
"Okay." Jiang Shi now lets Yu Tanqi do whatever she wants, not wanting to make her unhappy.
It was just applying medicine, there was no part of his body that she hadn't touched.
Jiang Shi thought of what happened last night at an inopportune time, his breathing became heavy but his expression remained unchanged.
The two went to the study to read.
Yu Tanqi stood in front of the bookshelf in a daze.
Seeing this, Jiang Shi said, "Tan Qi can read the storybook to kill time."
Yu Tanqi thought of the story in the storybook, and clenched his fingers slightly, but still shook his head: "No, I'd better read another book."
She picked up a book at random and sat back on the beauty couch.
Although she seemed fine now, Jiang Shi still looked at her from time to time.
As expected, after she opened the first page of the book, she never moved again, but was lost in thought, as if she was thinking about something.
What is she thinking about?
Jiang Shi couldn't guess for the time being, but he didn't make any noise to disturb her.
Not long after, Danqing knocked on the door and came in, saying, "Master, the Second Prince of Tianqi has sent someone to deliver a message to you."
They did not avoid talking to Yu Tanqi.
Yu Tanqi, who was originally distracted, subconsciously looked at Jiang Shi when he heard "Second Prince of Tianqi".
Jiang Shi took the envelope, opened it, and was not surprised to see Yu Wenxiao's request to meet him.
He picked up the wolf-hair brush and quickly wrote a simple reply letter to Danqing.
After Danqing left, he looked at Yu Tanqi, who had already lowered his head.
Jiang Shi naturally did not ignore the look she had just given him.
At this moment he also noticed that her book was still open to the first page.
Jiang Shi narrowed his eyes slightly.
His fiancée seemed to have something complicated in her heart.
He thought about it in his mind but still didn't ask.
Just like when she saw the injuries on his body and asked the reason, but did not ask why he and Yun Xuan were so at odds.
There are some things and some words that are not suitable to be revealed at this moment.
There has to be a right time.
Since she didn't say anything, he didn't feel comfortable asking.
…
Xu Mubai's medicine was better than the one prescribed by the imperial physician. He said that the scars on Jiang Shi's face would disappear in seven days, and Jiang Shi's face really returned to normal on the seventh day.
In the following days, he stayed in the Marquis' Mansion and did not go out again.
Yuwen Xiao sent letters to Jiang Shi every day. Jiang Shi would reply every time, but never agreed to meet him.
Jiang Shi's excuse to the outside world was still that he had caught a cold and needed to rest.
At the same time, Yunxuan also claimed to be sick at home and refused to see anyone.
Few people in the capital could connect the dots that Jiang Shi and Yun Xuan were both "staying home sick", and they all lamented that Jiang Shi was still a sickly person.
Yuwen Xiao, who had been trying to meet Jiang Shi but failed, did not believe such rumors.
His elder brother Yu Wenxian is now really "seriously injured" and is so seriously injured that he cannot even show his face to others.
"Get away! You disgusting toads, stay away from me! I will kill you!"
The man with disheveled hair was holding a sword and randomly slashing at people and objects around him. He looked crazy, as if he had gone mad.
Tianqi's imperial physician was worried: "If the antidote is not given to His Highness, the toxins will accumulate in the body for a long time and will damage the body, causing uncontrollable serious consequences."
He looked at Yuwen Xiao who was standing beside him and said, "Second Prince, please think of a solution."
