Doesn’t she like the prince?
Su Jingxuan originally thought that Qi Wanyin would ask the Queen to give her to the Prince.
Seeing his reaction, Qi Wanyin chuckled with a hint of self-mockery: "Mr. Su seems very surprised."
"Miss Qi has let the prince go?" Su Jingxuan couldn't help but ask.
"I let myself go."
Qi Wanyin slowly raised her head and looked at the sky, as if she wanted to release all the troubles in her heart, with a relieved look on her face.
Su Jingxuan's eyes were complicated. After not seeing her for a few years, she seemed to have become more and more adept at hiding herself.
Has she really let it go?
If she had let it go, she would not have been staring at the prince since he appeared at the banquet, with the attachment and reluctance clearly visible in her eyes.
He would not ignore the young men who came today, and had no intention of understanding them at all.
"Miss Qi, do you have a young man you like?" Su Jingxuan asked calmly.
"It doesn't matter whether I like you or not. My aunt will help me choose a good one."
There was helplessness and loss in Qi Wanyin's voice, and her head was slightly lowered.
Along the way, the two chatted casually.
But with every extra word, Qi Wanyin's heart sank more.
She had hinted so clearly, but Su Jingxuan was like a piece of wood and didn't respond to her.
Since it was impossible for her cousin to marry her, she could only plan a better future for herself.
Young Master Su is different from other young masters in the capital. He doesn't care much about his background or the foreign blood in her. He is a man as gentle as jade and extremely gentle.
Marrying him might be her best choice now.
They were walking on a gravel path, and Qi Wanyin's mind was not at all on the ground beneath her feet.
Suddenly, her foot twisted, she lost her balance and fell straight down.
"Miss Qi, are you okay?"
Su Jingxuan subconsciously reached out his hand to help her, but stopped halfway.
Men and women should not touch each other, and he could not tarnish the woman's reputation because of his impatience.
"I can't seem to get up. My ankle hurts."
Qi Wanyin frowned, a look of pain on her face, but in her heart she hoped that he could help her.
Although Qi Wanyin deliberately took Su Jingxuan to a place with fewer people, there were palace maids and eunuchs everywhere in the palace after all, the only difference was the number. Otherwise, Su Jingxuan would never be alone with Qi Wanyin so easily.
His upbringing also never allowed him to be alone with a woman like this, so as not to damage the woman's reputation.
"I'll have the maid help you up, and then I'll notify the Queen and ask her to send a sedan chair to take you back."
Qi Wanyin didn't expect that even after she was like this, Su Jingxuan was still unwilling to touch her.
"No, that's not necessary. Let the maid over there help me go to the Qinghuan Palace in front. I don't want my aunt to worry about me."
Su Jingxuan agreed and waved his hand for the palace maid to come over.
The palace maid carefully helped Qi Wanyin up, and she limped towards Qinghuan Palace with the help of the palace maid.
At this time, Qinghuan Palace was deserted, with only a cleaning maid busy in the corner.
This palace has been uninhabited for a long time and seems particularly empty and quiet.
The cleaning maid never expected someone to come. After hearing the noise, she went to bring a pot of tea.
After Qi Wanyin sat down on the chair, she raised her head and said softly, "Mr. Su, please sit down and have some tea."
"No need, I'll ask someone to get a doctor to come and see you."
Qi Wanyin's body trembled slightly. She didn't say anything, but slowly lowered her head, her voice so low that it was almost inaudible.
Muttered: "Am I really so annoying now..."
Su Jingxuan paused.
He knew that she was always very sensitive and fragile, and suddenly he wondered if he had acted too cold and callous.
Thinking of this, an expression of reluctance emerged on his face. After hesitating for a moment, he turned around and sat down.
"Don't think too much about it. I just think your ankle needs to be checked out by a doctor as soon as possible."
Su Jingxuan's tone softened a little.
Qi Wanyin raised her head, forced a smile on her face, picked up the teapot, and poured a cup for Su Jingxuan.
"Mr. Su, this cup of tea is for you. Today, my aunt is going to marry me off to someone else. We may never see each other again. Thank you for your kindness to me."
Su Jingxuan was startled when he heard her words, but he didn't refuse in the end. He took the teacup, tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp, his Adam's apple rolling up and down.
Outside Qinghuan Palace, Chu Yinxue couldn't hold back and wanted to show up when Qi Wanyin deliberately sprained her ankle, but when she saw that Master Su did not reach out to help her, she refrained from exposing herself.
However, at this moment, a full quarter of an hour had passed since the two of them entered Qinghuan Palace. Why hadn't Master Su come out yet?
Chu Yinxue became more and more anxious, biting her lips with her pearly teeth.
Forget it, she should go in and take a look!
Chu Yinxue made up her mind, took a deep breath, and stepped into Qinghuan Palace.
Who would have thought that there was no one in the Qinghuan Palace!
Chu Yinxue's face was full of confusion, her brows were furrowed, and her beautiful eyes quickly scanned the hall.
Without giving it much thought, he began to search every room in the temple one by one.
After searching several rooms, I finally found them in a side hall!
Chu Yinxue looked at the scene in front of her with her mouth wide open in surprise.
Master Su lay quietly on the bed with his eyes closed, while Qi Wanyin was lying on top of him, her clothes looking disheveled and even a little untidy.
She instantly understood that it must be Qi Wanyin who was behind this.
She must have drugged Mr. Su and tried to get close to him!
How shameless!
