The moment the name "He Yunxiao" appeared, Meng Qingrou's previously cheerful expression was completely shattered.
"Xing'er, stop talking. I don't want to hear him."
Xing'er, of course, couldn't remain silent.
The couple, one waiting stubbornly at the door like a fool, the other inside refusing to listen to anyone. If it weren't for someone acting as a matchmaker, their lives would probably have remained like this forever.
Xing'er didn't want Princess Nanzhu's life to pass by like this. Her youth, as brilliant and beautiful as fireworks, shouldn't slowly fade away in the desolate Linxuan Palace. Such a good girl deserves to be treated better and deserves a better life.
Relying on her good relationship with Meng Qingrou, Xing'er continued, "Your Highness, He Yunxiao bought you some snacks, would you like to try them?"
Meng Qingrou said expressionlessly, "No."
Xing'er then said, "Your Highness, shall I tell you what just happened?"
Meng Qingrou remained expressionless. "I don't want to hear it."
Regardless of whether Xing'er wanted to listen or not, she began to speak on her own. She started by saying that she had left Linxuan Palace with the medicine, then she talked about being frightened by He Yunxiao, about breaking the jewelry that He Yunxiao had given her, about He Yunxiao being happy about breaking the jewelry, about her throwing away the medicine, and about He Yunxiao's unwillingness to lie to her...
He spoke slowly and deliberately, without embellishment or flowery language.
When Xing'er started speaking, Meng Qingrou stopped asking whether she wanted to listen or not. Like a well-behaved child in class, she sat up straight with her hands on her lap, listening attentively.
Xing'er finally got to the end.
Before I returned, I asked Young Master He, "Young Master He, don't you have anything to say to His Highness?"
Xing'er paused and looked up into the eyes of her Highness, Princess Nanzhu.
Her large, watery eyes reflected the world's dazzling colors; in her eyes, the world was more beautiful than the world itself.
Seeing that Xing'er remained silent, Meng Qingrou subconsciously reached out to take Xing'er's hand and couldn't help but ask, "Xing'er, then what? What did he say?"
Looking at her prince's concerned expression, and recalling her earlier words of "no" and "I don't want to hear it" and her expressionless face, Xing'er felt a pang of sadness.
I chuckled to myself: Miss Meng, didn't you say you didn't want to hear or care? Why are you grabbing my hand and asking me questions now? Go ahead and pretend you don't care!
Xing'er deliberately said, "Young Master He said, 'From now on, I will sever all ties with Nan Zhu and never have anything to do with her again!'"
Upon hearing this, Meng Qingrou's face instantly turned deathly pale, and her chest heaved as if she couldn't breathe.
Even Xing'er, who knew her own princess well, never expected her to have such a strong reaction.
Xing'er immediately threw herself into Meng Qingrou's arms, and without thinking twice, she showered her with sweet words, saying, "Your Highness! Qingrou! Xing'er is talking nonsense! He never said that. He said 'I like you,' 'I will marry no one but you,' and 'I only want Qingrou'..."
After being comforted by Xing'er, Meng Qingrou's complexion returned to normal, even becoming rosier than before.
She punched Xing'er with her little fist, "You stinky Xing'er! He Yunxiao lied to me, and you lied to me too!"
Xing'er released her mistress's body and saw that she had returned to normal. Her mind, which had been in a state of panic, calmed down a bit.
Xing'er originally thought that Meng Qingrou wouldn't like He Yunxiao as much after being deceived by him, but she didn't expect that not only was He Yunxiao a reckless romantic, but her own prince was also a romantic.
Meng Qingrou pretended to be serious and said, "Xing'er, tell me quickly what he said at the end?"
This time, Xing'er didn't dare to joke anymore and obediently repeated He Yunxiao's words.
"Young Master He said, 'There are many things I want to say to her, but what I want to say most is—I miss you, I want to see you.'"
Upon hearing this, Meng Qingrou immediately turned her face away.
Regardless of whether He Yunxiao was there or could hear her, she rebuked him from afar, "Nonsense! You're just a liar! I don't believe you!"
Xing'er looked at Meng Qingrou's pretty face that she had turned away, and at the pinkness on her cheeks, and couldn't help but mutter to herself: If you really don't believe me, then don't blush.
Xing'er remembered the important matter of delivering the medicine, so she said, "Your Highness, I threw away the original dose of medicine. Please make a new one quickly."
Meng Qingrou stood up and said quietly, "Xing'er, whose side are you on? Why aren't you helping me? Go help He Yunxiao instead."
Xinger: Don't you know why you're helping him?
Meng Qingrou couldn't do anything about this older sister she had grown up with since childhood. In Linxuan Palace, even Xing'er had more influence over the other palace maids than she did.
She had no choice but to say, "I'm going to brew the medicine. You chase that person at the door away."
Xing'er had originally intended to respect her prince's opinion, but when she saw him turn pale and struggle to breathe upon hearing the words "sever all ties and never see each other again," Xing'er understood.
Just like that young master He outside, her own Princess Nanzhu wasn't indifferent to the other person; she cared too much.
The one outside, after being scolded, went from a master at sneaking into the bedroom to a timid and hesitant newbie. The one inside, after reprimanding someone, said he didn't care and it was okay, but he was actually very worried. In reality, he didn't even dare to see the person. He wanted to send them away before the medicine was even ready, being both fierce and cowardly.
Xing'er sighed. It seemed that the fate of this awkward couple depended entirely on their own efforts to pull together.
It's a pity Myolie hasn't seen Spider-Man, otherwise she would have felt the same way.
Xing'er didn't rush to find He Yunxiao. Instead, she took the jewelry, rouge, and cloth that He Yunxiao had given her and went to the other palace maids' quarters.
While distributing the bribes, he also briefly explained Princess Nanzhu's predicament.
The palace maids, while accepting He Yunxiao's bribes, listened to the gossip with shining eyes.
After giving her instructions, Xing'er left the palace to find He Yunxiao, who was still waiting outside the courtyard wall.
He Yunxiao was completely immersed in the world of martial arts. Although the weather was cool at night, he could not feel the slightest chill because of the constant flow of his internal energy. He was full of energy and could also feel the subtle changes happening in his body.
The body, tempered by internal energy, spontaneously expels toxins.
Although it is extremely rare, He Yunxiao felt that if someone truly possessed Chu Chu's level of skill, even without taking the antidote for the Soul-Devouring Pill, they could live much longer than others.
Chu Chu said before that she had a way to extend my lifespan without dispelling the Soul-Devouring Pill, could it be...?
"Young Master He."
Before He Yunxiao could think further, Xing'er came to him.
He Yunxiao was naturally indebted to Xing'er, so he stopped practicing martial arts, stood up and asked, "Miss Xing'er, what's wrong?"
Remembering Prince Nanzhu's order to "drive that person at the door away," Xing'er smiled and said, "Young Master He, our prince invites you in."
