Chapter 2 She'll fight tooth and nail to stay in the Prince's mansion.
Upon hearing this, Qin Ye was momentarily stunned, then, as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world, he said coldly, "Yun Si, what right do you think you have to say such a thing?"
Yun Si also knew that she was not qualified.
But she wanted to change the ending of her past life, to kill Shen Qian with her own hands to avenge herself, and to clear the name of the Marquis's family. Right now, she had to return to the Prince's Mansion first.
That's all she could say.
"sorry."
Yun Si's voice sounded calm: "I know I no longer have the right or standing to say such things, but I really don't want you to marry someone else."
Qin Ye stared at Yun Si's thin body, a sarcastic smile curving his lips.
"Since you know you have no position to uphold."
His unfathomable eyes were filled with coldness and ruthlessness: "Then why don't you get lost?"
"..."
When she arrived, Yun Si was only thinking about changing the ending of her previous life and wanted to see Qin Ye as soon as possible. She was very excited and also mentally prepared to face Qin Ye's indifference.
But when I actually heard him say such heartless words...
She was the one who hurt him, and now she deserves to face his cold words.
Yun Si was in poor health. After the ordeal of the night, her legs felt like they were walking on cotton. She forced herself to calm down, readjusted her mindset, and then brazenly spoke up: "Qin Ye, I... I regret it, can I..."
"cannot."
A hint of mockery flashed in Qin Ye's eyes, but it was quickly covered up by indifference. He said impatiently, "Are you leaving or not? Don't delay my marriage to my concubine."
If Yun Si hadn't clearly known how Qin Ye had gone mad with grief after her death in her previous life, holding her corpse, she would have been deceived by his cold-hearted words and hesitated to back down.
She was the one who wronged him.
In their past life, there were many misunderstandings between them. One didn't ask, and the other didn't explain; neither of them had a mouth.
In this life, no matter what their future holds, she hopes to clear up those misunderstandings.
Thinking of this, Yun Si's heart gradually calmed down.
"good."
Yun Si used a feigned retreat to advance, looking at Qin Ye with a sad gaze and giving him a bitter smile: "I'm sorry, I disturbed you."
After saying that, she slowly turned around and walked away step by step.
The April wind blew against her thin frame, making her shiver involuntarily.
She could feel Qin Ye's gaze fixed on her departing figure.
Yun Si is gambling.
If she fails to return to the Prince's Mansion and Qin Ye's side today, her future path will be difficult, even dangerous.
Shen Qian will soon realize that the fire last night did not harm her, but her sudden departure without saying goodbye must mean that he has some suspicions about her.
Having experienced her previous life, she realized just how terrifying a hypocrite Shen Qian truly was.
Therefore, regardless of her status upon returning, she must find a way to stay in the Prince's residence.
Yun Si took several steps but still heard no movement from Qin Ye, and she began to grow anxious.
This man still harbors resentment towards her, so he probably won't soften his heart easily.
Then let's increase the intensity.
Yun Si seemed somewhat dazed. She didn't even notice when she reached the stone steps. Whether her foot slipped or she accidentally missed a step, she suddenly lurched forward.
Face down.
She closed her eyes, bracing herself for excruciating pain.
As a result, I unexpectedly stumbled into a firm and familiar embrace.
Yun Si had mixed feelings.
In the end, he still couldn't bear to see her get hurt.
But in order to return to the palace smoothly, she was still...using him.
"Yun Si?"
Qin Ye caught Yun Si when she "fell" and was about to push her away when he noticed that her eyes were closed and the corners of her eyes were slightly moist.
He frowned slightly, then scooped her up in his arms. Eunuch De Cai, who had been watching from a distance for a long time, stepped forward and respectfully reminded him, "Your Highness, the wedding procession has been waiting for quite some time. If we don't set off soon..."
The wedding is canceled.
Qin Ye coldly uttered a sentence, then carried Yun Si and strode into the mansion.
Yun Si nestled obediently in his arms, her body feeling as light as if it were nothing.
This was the first time in a year since they got married that Yun Si had allowed him to hold her so obediently.
Qin Ye's eyes were swirling with emotion, and he seemed somewhat agitated.
"Yun Si, do you know what you're doing?"
Qin Ye murmured softly, while Yun Si in his arms had already fallen into a deep sleep.
………
Qiwu Garden.
Yun Si is ill.
I slept in a daze for three days, and only today did I finally wake up.
The two maids who had come with her as part of her dowry from the Marquis of Yongyi's mansion were guarding her bedside.
One was named Lansing, and the other was named Lu Yu.
When she divorced Qin Ye, he forbade her from taking anything from the palace, including her dowry and personal maid.
Back then, in order to get rid of Qin Ye, Yun Si didn't care about anything else. Now, after a lifetime, when she saw Lan Xin and Lu Yu again, she felt an indescribable bitterness in her heart.
“Master.”
When Lan Xin and Lu Yu saw that she had woken up, they couldn't help but burst into tears of joy: "You're finally awake! You scared us to death!"
"I'm fine."
Yun Si smiled faintly and gently comforted them.
During this month, Qin Ye kept them in the Prince's mansion. Although he did not make things difficult for them, the servants in the mansion still took out their resentment towards him on them, causing them to suffer a lot of grievances and disdain for no reason.
"Lanxin, Lu Yu, it must have been hard for you two to follow me for the past year or so since you married into the royal family. Don't worry, I won't make any more foolish or stupid mistakes in the future. If possible, I will try to win back His Highness."
Upon hearing this, Lan Xin and Lu Yu exchanged a glance, both finding it somewhat unbelievable.
Is this what the Lord said?
What has my master been through in the past month? Why did he suddenly change his mind?
She actually said she wanted to win back His Highness?
She used to despise His Highness.
Lu Yu stepped forward, reached out and touched Yun Si's forehead, and asked in confusion, "High fever for three days, could it be that the fever damaged her brain and made her sober?"
Lan Xin slapped Lu Yu's hand away and glared at her: "Don't talk nonsense. The master has figured it out, which is a good thing, but..."
The master has hurt His Highness so badly; it's probably very difficult to win back His Highness's heart.
But she didn't dare say it, for fear that her master would give up.
Now that the Marquis's mansion has fallen, and the mistress has lost her maternal clan, Her Highness is her only support. It is good that the mistress can understand this.
"The concubine has entered, is that right?"
Yun Si fell ill after Qin Ye carried her back to Qiwu Garden that day, and she knew nothing about what had happened in the past three days.
If Qin Ye really marries a concubine, it will probably be difficult for her to stay in the Prince's mansion.
Yun Si was filled with worry.
How could she have been so stupid before, unable to distinguish between good and bad people?
"Has Your Highness been here in the past three days?"
The two looked dejected and shook their heads together.
In the past, if His Highness had been this ill, he would have personally stayed by the side of his master.
This time, however, the two of them went to invite His Highness twice, but His Highness only said that he would send the royal physician to treat her, and never came to see the master even once.
As expected.
Yun Si forced a smile and said weakly, "Since the concubine has just entered the house, he naturally has to accompany her."
"The concubine hasn't entered the house."
Lu Yu hurriedly said, "The wedding has been canceled. The wedding was organized by the Imperial Household Department. His Highness was even reprimanded by the Emperor because of this. That Miss Lin came to us on her own. It is said that she took care of His Highness's mother back then. His Highness's decision to marry her as a concubine was not His Highness's own wish, but His Highness's mother's last wish."
Lan Xin added, "My lady, during the time you were away from the palace, His Highness was heartbroken. In addition, Miss Lin took the initiative to come to him, which is why he followed his mother's last wish to marry her, and as a concubine. Now that you have returned, my lady, he immediately canceled the wedding. What does this mean?"
"This shows that His Highness only has Master in his heart."
"Of course, but my lord, you still need to go and appease His Highness. After all, what you did back then was indeed a bit too much, and His Highness's injuries haven't fully healed yet..."
The two chattered on and on, and Yun Si's mood rose and fell with their conversation.
Yun Si felt very guilty when she mentioned Qin Ye's injury.
Where is he?
Yun Si got up from the bed: "Help me do my makeup, I'm going to see him."
Yun Si breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that he had not taken a concubine.
If she were to marry him, she truly wouldn't know what to do.
Fortunately, he didn't.
………
Main courtyard study.
A light drizzle started falling outside again, and the house remained slightly chilly despite the rainy weather.
Qin Ye sat upright behind his desk, reading the news sent from Jinzhou.
Just as he was about to write a reply, Eunuch Decai came in and reported: "Your Highness, that person from Qiwu Garden... requests an audience."
Yun Si's current status is awkward; even the servants below her don't know how to address her.
Qin Ye paused slightly, his handsome face devoid of any emotion. He wrote a line of text before speaking slowly and deliberately: "Let her in."
Yun Si entered, accompanied by a cool breeze.
As soon as she closed the door and turned around, she saw Qin Ye behind the desk.
Qin Ye wore a dark brocade robe with subtle patterns, the collar and cuffs embroidered with silver cloud patterns, understated yet noble.
A black jade belt was tied around his waist, making his figure appear as upright as a pine tree.
Her long, jet-black hair was half-tied up with a jade hairpin, the rest of her hair falling over her shoulders and back, gleaming with a cold luster.
He was extremely handsome, with sharply defined eyebrows, a high nose bridge, and thin, slightly pursed lips, exuding an aloof and unapproachable air.
My condition has completely changed compared to three days ago.
Yun Si's gaze fell on his hands.
His slender fingers held a wolf-hair brush, the knuckles distinct and long, exuding a sharp and powerful aura.
It's really beautiful.
How come I never noticed this before?
Qin Ye noticed Yun Si's gaze and looked up at her. Her dark, deep eyes were as cold as an icy pool, devoid of any emotion.
Yun Si met his gaze and smiled faintly.
She approached slowly, her eyes lowered: "Your Highness."
His voice was very soft, with a hint of hoarseness from recovering from an illness.
"Are you cured?"
Qin Ye's dark gaze fell on her, a barely perceptible glint flashing within it.
She was wearing a moon-white jacket and skirt, with a light purple cloak over it, and a soft silk belt of the same color around her waist, which accentuated her slender figure.
Her hair was simply styled in a bun, loosely secured with a single white jade hairpin, with a few stray strands falling on either side of her face, adding to her delicate and fragile appearance.
Qin Ye put down his pen, his expression indifferent: "If you recover, you can leave the Xiao Prince's Mansion at any time."
"May I ask Your Highness a question?"
Yun Si didn't respond to his words, but instead tried to take control of the conversation herself.
"What's the problem?"
"Why did Your Highness cancel the wedding? Is it because..."
“Yun Si”.
Qin Ye abruptly interrupted her, his voice cold: "I advise you not to flatter yourself."
Yun Si lowered her eyes, but then heard him say, "There's no medicine for regret in this world, and I don't need you."
"..."
The study remained silent for a while.
Yun Si forced a smile and said, "I have remembered Your Highness's words."
Before he could answer, she changed the subject and said, "Then let me ask you another question. It was Your Highness who sent people to rescue my parents, right?"
In her past life, she overheard Shen Qian and that mysterious man saying that everyone in the Marquis's mansion had been killed on their way to exile. But after she died, her soul followed Qin Ye and she learned that her parents and brothers had survived. Qin Ye had sent people to rescue them and arranged good accommodations for them.
Qin Ye's eyes narrowed, and he coldly denied it: "No."
"I knew it was you."
"What? Didn't you say with absolute certainty that I framed the Marquis's family? If I framed them, why would I save them?"
"I was wrong."
Yun Si spoke with slightly pale lips, her eyes reddening and misty with tears: "Qin Ye."
She was determined to stay in the Prince's mansion.
Yun Si mustered her courage and took a step forward, reaching out to hook his finger: "I was wrong before, please give me another chance to make it up to you, okay?"
After she finished speaking, she nervously looked up at him.
