Chapter 440 Yu Lingxiu's Memories
Xie Dan rubbed his still sore arm, and with heavy steps as if he was dragging a thousand-pound burden, he slowly stepped into Yu Lingxiu's yard.
As soon as he stepped into the room, he was met with Yu Lingxiu's gaze, which was as cold as a frozen pond and seemed to be able to see through everything.
"Stop staring at me like that. I failed to bring the person here. And just because of your back disease, I was scolded by King Ning for nothing." Xie Dan's voice was full of coldness.
When Yu Lingxiu heard this, her brows knitted tightly together, and the questioning in her eyes was as hot as a blazing flame: "Prince Ning has never been the kind of person who would casually attack people from the Princess's Mansion. There must be something wrong with your actions!"
Her tone was firm, as if she had already determined Xie Dan's fault.
Xie Dan raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and let out a mocking sneer, and slowly said: "Yes, he really won't make trouble without reason or attack at will. It's just that I was only thinking about your illness, and I wanted to see what magical properties the medicinal materials in the princess's hand had, but I accidentally angered the princess, so the prince taught me a lesson."
When Yu Lingxiu heard this, she was slightly stunned.
Xie Dan looked at Yu Lingxiu's face full of disbelief, and thought to himself, he simply added fuel to the fire, deliberately saying in a seemingly casual tone: "I just got a little closer to the princess, just to see what the medicinal herbs in her hand were good for. Who would have thought that the prince would be so jealous as soon as he saw it. Miss Yu, men, only when they care about a woman very much, will they be so easily jealous."
As he spoke, he observed Yu Lingxiu's reaction from the side, and a barely perceptible calculation flashed in his eyes.
After hearing this, Yu Lingxiu unconsciously clenched her hands into fists, her knuckles turning white from excessive force, as if she wanted to vent all the anger and unwillingness in her heart through this action.
She gritted her teeth and retorted stubbornly: "After all, she is the biological mother of the little princess. The prince protects her only for the little princess!"
Her voice trembled slightly, as if she was trying hard to convince herself.
"If you insist on thinking so, I really have nothing to say. But as for the needle on your waist, I am really unable to properly deal with it now." Xie Dan sighed slightly, and that sigh seemed to hide endless vicissitudes of life.
There was a very hidden gloom and calculation in his eyes, but he returned to normal in an instant.
After saying this, he slowly turned around, his movements were slow and heavy, as if every step required great strength, as if he was ready to leave.
Yu Lingxiu was left lying there alone, with Xie Dan's words constantly surging in her mind. Those words were like a spell, circling and echoing in her mind, unable to be shaken off.
Xie Dan was gone, and Nanny Wu would not come over now. She stayed here alone, surrounded by silence, as if she was the only one left in the world. She couldn't help but think wildly, if she died here, would no one know?
Is it as if she has never existed in this world, disappearing silently?
Thinking of this, Yu Lingxiu suddenly raised her voice and shouted anxiously: "Someone, someone, come!"
The voice echoed in the empty room, carrying a hint of fear and helplessness.
The maid who had been guarding in the yard heard the noise and hurried in.
When he saw Yu Lingxiu struggling on the bed, he was immediately horrified and his voice trembled: "Miss Yu, what's wrong with you?"
"Go, help me go to Cuizhu's room!" Yu Lingxiu struggled to get up, but her weak body and the silver needles on her waist made her movements extremely difficult.
When the two maids saw the silver needle flashing with cold light on her waist, they turned pale with fear and hurried forward to dissuade her: "Miss, there is still a silver needle on your waist. I will call Doctor Xie to remove the needle for you!"
"No, I must go to Cuizhu!" Yu Lingxiu's eyes were full of stubbornness, and her tone was firm. For some reason, at this moment, she seemed to be driven by an inexplicable force in her heart, and she wanted to see Cuizhu very urgently.
Her unusual behavior made the two maids beside her look at each other in surprise.
The two of them looked at each other quietly, and one of the maids mustered up her courage and whispered, "Miss Yu, Miss Cuizhu has already left. Where are you going to find her?"
"Where are her things?" How could Yu Lingxiu forget that Cuizhu lost her life to take the blame for her? Thinking of this, her eyes turned red and her voice trembled slightly, "I want her things!"
When the two maids heard this, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
They had just been secretly speculating, wondering if Miss Yu was going to that eerie mass grave to look for Cuizhu.
Then, two maids hurried over to fetch a emerald green bundle.
In this bundle, there were some items that were given to Cuizhu by Yu Lingxiu and her mother, Princess Anyang.
Because of this, no one dared to touch the bundle at will. However, because of Cuizhu's incident, everyone was afraid and no one had the courage to present this small package to Yu Lingxiu, for fear of bringing bad luck to her and making her sad.
Yu Lingxiu's hands trembled slightly, and she couldn't wait to open the bundle.
Seeing this, the two maids serving nearby quickly retreated.
I don’t know what’s wrong with Miss Yu’s brain. She doesn’t even remove the needle from her waist and just lies there. Doesn’t she feel any pain?
Yu Lingxiu had no idea what the two maids were thinking. What caught her eyes were pieces of exquisite jewelry that still sparkled with a cool luster under the dim light.
Her eyes were fixed on these objects, and her thoughts were like a runaway horse, instantly drifting back to the past.
In the innocent years before she entered the princess's mansion, she was accompanied by green bamboo day and night.
They played together among the blooming flowers in spring, enjoyed the cool together by the gurgling stream in summer, laughed together in the golden wheat waves in autumn, and chased each other together in the white snow in winter.
The friendship between them was much deeper than that between Lin Miaoyin and Yuzhu. To say that they were like sisters was simply not enough to describe the closeness between them.
However, the trajectory of fate changed quietly the moment he stepped into the Princess's Mansion. The former beauty gradually dissipated like a dream bubble.
Yu Lingxiu frowned, her eyes full of confusion and bewilderment. When did everything change?
Lin Miaoyin's hypocritical face suddenly appeared in her mind, and hatred instantly surged in her heart. That bitch, on the surface, told her that she didn't care about Prince Ning, but secretly, she did such a shameless thing as seducing Prince Ning.
It was because of what she did that I ended up on a tit-for-tat path.
Yu Lingxiu bit her lower lip and clenched her hands unconsciously. Suddenly, a crisp sound of "click" drew her attention back.
