Back at the palace, Gong Nan and Ling Mei were admiring the flowers in the garden. In early spring, many flower buds gradually blossomed into colorful flowers.
Seeing them come back, Ling Mei was very surprised, "Why did you come back so soon?"
Gong Bingye just made up an excuse.
Ling Mei didn't ask any more questions and took Xia Xingchen's hand to appreciate the flowers together. "Xingchen, look how beautiful these flowers are."
"Mom, girl, you guys enjoy the flowers first. I'm going to take care of something." Ling Mei impatiently drove him away, "Go and do your own thing. Don't disturb us, mother and daughter, enjoying the flowers."
Arriving at the study on the second floor, Gong Bingye pressed his temples with a headache. What happened just now still made him feel scared. He paced around the study in annoyance. After a while, he called Ke Junchen.
About thirty minutes later, Ke Junchen knocked on Gong Bingye's study door.
"What's so urgent?" Ke Junchen asked anxiously as the door was opened.
The prince either doesn't look for him, or when he does, he becomes anxious.
"Come in." Gong Bingye closed the door and thought, "Is the girl's illness getting worse again? And it's more serious than I thought."
If the scene just now was captured by paparazzi, those netizens would definitely think that the girl was a lunatic!
He couldn't let this happen.
"What do you mean?" Ke Junchen asked suspiciously.
The two sat on the sofa, and Gong Bingye told Ke Junchen what had just happened.
After hearing this, Ke Junchen also fell into deep thought.
"At first, when grandma told me in the letter, I thought she was making a big deal out of nothing. It wasn't until today that I realized how terrible this illness is." Gong Bingye became more and more panicked as he spoke.
Ke Junchen grasped the key point of this sentence and asked, "Did your grandmother say in the letter when she started?"
Gong Bingye: "After being abandoned by Cui Jingshu when she was little, the girl also had these symptoms. Later, under the careful care of her grandmother, she didn't have these symptoms for many years."
"That's right!" Ke Junchen snapped his fingers, then sat up straight and analyzed, "Choi Jung-sook's departure was a huge blow to her, leaving a shadow in her heart. And her illness this time must be because her grandmother's death was too great a blow to her. She hasn't fully recovered from the pain of losing her grandmother..."
"I think only when she truly lets go of it, her illness will be cured."
He continued, "Miss Xia is not physically ill at all. The only thing she has is a mental illness."
"Since it is a heart disease, it must be treated with heart medicine."
Gong Bingye began to feel troubled. "Now that grandma is dead, her heart disease will never be cured?"
Ke Junchen looked at Gong Bingye and smiled thoughtfully, "Prince, you've been so obsessed with love that you've made yourself stupid. Where is the wise, intelligent, and decisive Prince gone?"
Gong Bingye glared at him, "Stop talking nonsense, if you have a solution, tell me quickly."
Ke Junchen smiled lightly, "Prince forgot that although Miss Xia's grandmother is dead, Cui Jingshu is still alive."
Gong Bingye shook his head decisively, "What a rotten idea this is. The girl will never forgive Cui Jingshu, so how can she heal the girl?"
Ke Junchen sighed, "No matter what, they are mother and daughter after all. As the saying goes, mother and daughter are connected by heart. This is the only way to cure Miss Xia. Why don't you give it a try, Your Highness?"
Gong Bingye's face was full of worry. He was willing to give it a try, but he was afraid that the girl would not want to see Cui Jingshu.
In the evening, after dinner, Gong Bingye came to Ling Mei's bedroom. He sat on the edge of the bed, hugged Ling Mei, and called out, "Mom, Mom!"
Gong Nan, who was standing in front of them, was full of jealousy and glared at his son. "Why are you hugging my wife instead of your own?"
Gong Bingye hid in Ling Mei's arms like a little boy and acted coquettishly, "I miss my mother."
His words made Ling Mei feel like a fairy tale. This kid never came home when he was in school, and he was nowhere to be seen after graduation. Fortunately, Xia Xingchen lives here now, so he can come back every day. Otherwise, who knows where he would have gone?
How could someone who doesn't love home miss his mom?!
Ling Mei took the hand cream handed to her by Gong Nan and asked as she applied it, "Tell me, what do you want from me?"
Gong Bingye immediately let go and became obedient, "Nothing can escape my mother's sharp eyes."
Ling Mei glanced at Gong Bingye sideways, appearing disgusted but doting on him in her heart.
"I just want to ask you a question." He turned serious. "If a mother treats her own daughter very badly, will the daughter hate her mother?"
Ling Mei found it incredible. She looked at Gong Bingye and asked, "Is there any mother in the world who doesn't love her daughter?"
Gong Bingye nodded seriously.
She handed the hand cream to Gong Nan and said, "I think what children need most is the company of their parents. Even if the parents are not good to the child, the child still longs for the love of his parents in his heart."
Gong Bingye listened and suddenly understood!
So he sent someone to find Cui Jingshu's whereabouts.
He only knew that after Li Zhenglin and Cui Jingshu divorced some time ago, Cui Jingshu seemed to have disappeared from the world.
The next afternoon, Gong Bingye found out where Cui Jingshu lived.
He drove his sports car and came to the secluded little apartment alone.
This apartment is sparsely populated, with no one around and a poor environment, but it is quiet.
He walked in slowly. The door was closed. He knocked a few times, but no one came to open the door. However, there were some faint noises coming from inside the apartment.
After making sure there was someone inside, he knocked on the door hard. Unexpectedly, he only used 10% of his strength and the door was pushed open.
The scene before him shocked him!
There were only a few plates of dirty food on the table. The rice in the bowl must have been eaten, it was very dirty, and there were dried rice grains stuck to the bottom of the bowl. There were also two mice on the table running around the dishes, making squeaking sounds.
The bed was a mess. Choi Jung-sook sat in a corner of the bed with a dull look in her eyes, holding a broken rag doll in her arms and humming a song, as if she was coaxing the doll to sleep.
Gong Bingye couldn't imagine that the once graceful and elegant lady Cui Jingshu had ended up like this. At this moment, he really didn't know whether to be happy or sad for the girl.
Because she was Xia Xingchen's mother, he politely said, "Mrs. Cui!"
Hearing the unfamiliar voice, she slowly turned her head, made a 'hush' gesture to Gong Bingye, and then whispered, "Keep your voice down, I just coaxed Xingkong to sleep..."
After she finished speaking, she continued to hum.
Cui Jingshu's hair was messy, her face was pale and haggard, even her lips were white, and she looked terribly haggard.
Her mind was clearly not clear.
He asked tentatively: "Mrs. Cui, do you still remember me?"
Needless to say, Choi Jung-sook didn't react at all.
So, Gong Bingye stepped forward and snatched the rag doll from Cui Jingshu's arms...
