Chapter 37

Without the anger from the last time in the study, without the malice of deliberately torturing her, such a sudden kiss made Chu Yan lose his mind for a moment, and when he looked up at him, his eyes were full of puzzlement and embarrassment.

She stared blankly at Gu Qi, and shouted hoarsely, "Your Highness..."

The red lips are slightly parted, and the lips are moist and beautiful, as if reminding Gu Qi just of the soft taste when the lips meet.

Gu Qi stretched out his hand to caress her lips, and sighed.

He was clearly ill, but he was more cowardly and charming than usual, which made him want to do something, but he was afraid of hurting her who was extremely fragile.

He was afraid she would suffocate him even if he kissed for a moment.

He stared at the confusion in Chu Yan's eyes, and finally stood up while shaking his head, "Are you hungry? Have something to eat."

Because Chu Yan was ill, Gu Qi asked someone to bring food into the room, Hanzhi put a small table in front of Chu Yan, and Gu Qi stood aside to watch her eat.

Chu Yan ate a little unnaturally, secretly looking at him from the corner of her eye from time to time, and every time he met her gaze, she would shift her gaze guiltily.

It seemed that he was ashamed of the kiss just now.

Gu Qi thought that she should eat more when she was sick, and she couldn't eat well here, so she simply went to the main hall to eat, "I'll come see you later."

Chu Yan's face was obviously relieved, and she smiled at him, "Okay."

The sick and delicate beauty smiled relievedly, and the ice and snow in the room melted in an instant.

Gu Qi stepped out of the room, looked at the gradually darkening sky and shook his head. The relationship between the two of them quickly grew closer as she moved, and the more time they spent together, the more he cared about her. He knew it was not good, but I also felt that there was a constant gravitational force between the two of them.

Is she too special, or is he too easy to attack?

Gu Qi wanted to simply treat her as his wife who was about to get married, but when he occasionally thought of the Zhao family, he felt that there were indeed some seemingly insurmountable obstacles between the two of them.

In the end, he was still too weak. If he was strong enough, how could he wrong his desire to be close to someone because he was afraid of courtiers' dictatorship?

He wanted to be nice to her, not for anything else, but because of her tolerance and understanding of him from the beginning to the end, and because of the faint touch and comfort in his heart when he saw her smile.

He had lived without a city like her before, but that was when he was taken care of by Concubine Rong as an innocent child in Xihua Palace. Now that his father, mother and concubine have left, only He fought alone, and those years were blurred by this solitude.

The last ray of sunset light shone on the prince, he did not go to the main hall to eat, but walked into the study along the long corridor.Looking back at the green willows and dusk outside the window, he picked up a pen and began to sketch lightly on a piece of clean paper.

It was a scene of a little person sitting by the stream, with apricot blossoms blowing all over his head in spring, and the rays of sunshine are the most gentle.

There are flowers and water in that painting, and there is a bucket beside the child. Although you can’t see what is inside, it is not difficult to see from the contented and happy expression on the child’s face. It is very rewarding.

Wanxi stood behind the prince and glanced lightly at the scene in the painting. The sunset glow was intoxicating and gently enveloped the person who was painting, and even his back became gentle and hazy.

Wanxi thinks that the prince is painting the happy time he spent in Xihua Palace when he was a child, but the person in the painting...seems like a little girl?
Thinking of the prince's attitude towards the princess these days, Wan Xi frowned, as if she understood something.

The crown prince is too far away from the carefree time, now seeing the crown princess living such a relaxed and happy life, he automatically adds his lost years to the crown princess.Seeing her smile, seeing her happy, seems to be a great satisfaction.

The Xiaguang completely disappeared by the window, and Wanxi stepped forward to hold the lamp for the prince, just in time to see the person who finished the painting making the final inscription for the painting.

The eaves are low and the stream is green.Drunk, Wu Yinxiang is so charming, who is the white-haired Weng Mai?
The older one is hoeing beans to the east of the creek, the middle one is weaving chicken coops, and the younger one likes rascals the most, lying on the head of the stream and peeling lotus pods.

There are obviously no lotus leaves or lotus pods in the painting, so this poem is a bit far-fetched.

But Wan Xi was taken aback, and felt that such an artistic conception was perfect for this painting.

His Royal Highness... Maybe he was attracted by the concubine's rascal temperament, right?
Voice-over: Father-in-law, you are the truth!

It took three full days for Chu Yan to recover from her illness. During these three days, the prince came back early every night, and occasionally accompanied her to eat in the house, occasionally just came to see her, personally supervised her to take the medicine, Then I went back to the study to get busy.

From this point of view, the prince can actually be a good husband even when he is not angry. Of course, the premise is that Duke Ding and Zhao Ronghua did not offend him.

Chu Yan thought that since she came to Yong'an Palace, she had no chance to inquire about outside news. She didn't know what happened to her aunt, and she didn't know anything about the situation in Xijiang.

She thought for a while, then told Chen Xiang that she would go back to Yuanxi Palace to see Zhao Ronghua, the crown prince is not in Yong'an Palace, and the crown princess is naturally the biggest, so Chen Xiang nodded, "The servant will go and prepare the chariot for His Highness immediately."

So he wobbled back to Yuanxi Hall in a chariot.

Chu Yan's mood was still immersed in the relaxation and joy brought by the prince these days, and she didn't know what was waiting for her in Yuanxi Palace.

She signaled the little eunuch on duty to keep silent, walked briskly over and opened the door, intending to surprise her aunt.

It's a pity that the moment he opened the door and entered, what caught his eyes was a woman who seemed to have aged ten years overnight - Zhao Ronghua sat in the dark hall with a withered complexion, looking at the floor under his feet calmly, Like a lifeless statue.

Shu Qiu crouched beside her with tears in her eyes, begging for something.

The smile still on her lips froze on her face, Chu Yan paused, and then ran towards Zhao Ronghua, "Auntie, what's wrong with you, Auntie?"

Her heart was beating violently, and she didn't know why her aunt became like this within a few days after she left, but she felt that she almost stopped breathing when she saw her strange appearance.

Zhao Ronghua didn't speak, but when she heard Chu Yan's voice, she slowly raised her head, so Chu Yan could clearly see the desolation and despair in her eyes.

In the silence, Zhao Ronghua looked at the princess who was brought up by himself, smiled miserably, and murmured, "What crime did I do in my previous life? In this life, I want to witness my son plotting to kill my father ?”

Her eyes were gray and filled with tears in an instant. She grabbed Chu Yan's hand and asked again in a more mournful voice, "Chu Yan, tell me, am I really such a hateful mother? He just Is it true that our Zhao family can't tolerate it at all? He has my blood on his body, why does he treat me like this in reverse? "

Zhao Ronghua's appearance was terrifying, as if a person had reached a point of despair and no longer had reason, Chu Yan felt that the blood in his whole body was frozen at this moment.

She held Zhao Ronghua's hand back in a daze, and asked eagerly, "Auntie, what's the matter?"

She has only been ill for three days, but she has not stepped out of the gate of Yong'an Palace for three days. Why has everything changed dramatically?
Zhao Ronghua laughed, and tears rolled down her face. She turned around and pointed in the direction of Yong'an Palace, "What happened? You go ask him! Go ask my son who is competitive and assertive! He is afraid that I will The family dominates one side of the court, and is afraid that your grandfather's power will affect his imperial power, so he agreed to marry you on the surface, and sent your grandfather to the western border, but secretly sent someone to poison his food! How is it now? , your grandfather is in danger, but because he is in the western border, we are beyond our reach!"

Such desolate and hopeless laughter hit Chu Yan's heart one after another, and she froze in place, as if struck by thunder.

What did aunt say?
Zhao Wu has been poisoned, is he in danger now?
She came from time travel, stayed in Zhao's house for only a few days, and then entered the palace, so she didn't have much impression of Zhao Wu, the grandfather.But Zhao Ronghua is different, this aunt treats her like her own daughter, protects her, loves her and dotes on her since she was a child, Chu Yan lost her parents in the early modern age, so in Zhao Ronghua, she realized what mother's love is, and she really loves her This elder, even if she is not smart enough, the city is not deep enough.

But children will never dislike their parents because of these shortcomings, so Chu Yan is the same.

She wasn't very sad and indignant because of Zhao Wu's poisoning, but she was worried because of Zhao Ronghua's appearance of being hit hard.

What shocked her the most was what Zhao Ronghua said.

Is the crown prince really so cruel that he hates the Zhao family so much?That was his own grandfather, he actually repaired the plank road secretly, poisoned and murdered Zhao Wu?

Chu Yan was stunned in place for a long time, and finally came back to her senses as if waking up from a dream, and anxiously supported Zhao Ronghua, "Auntie, please sit down first, don't be so excited, things may not be as you think Oops!"

"Don't be excited? I can't help but be excited!" Zhao Ronghua shook off her hand with tears, every word was extremely painful, like tears of blood, "I gave birth to a good son. I used to be the one who treated him harshly and raised him up Today's cold-blooded and ruthless emperor's heart; now my retribution has come, he is willing to kill his grandfather himself, why don't you tell me not to be excited? I did it wrong, I did it wrong... .”

Since Zhao Ronghua heard the news of Zhao Wu's critical illness last night, he has been described as haggard and silent in the hall, not thinking about food and drink, as if he were a dead person.

During this period, Shu Qiu cried and begged her to persuade her, but it didn't work at all.

Now that Chu Yan came, her emotions finally exploded, this kind of sadness exploded like a bomb at this specific time, and not only herself was injured, but also Chu Yan who knew nothing about it.

Chu Yan was originally full of joy to tell her aunt about the prince's attitude towards her these days, which also made her happy. Unexpectedly, the happiness she thought was gone, was replaced by such a thrilling catastrophe.

She couldn't persuade Zhao Ronghua, because even she herself had cold hands and feet, and her heart was barren.

Concern leads to chaos, and concern leads to chaos. Chu Yan, who was infected by Zhao Ronghua's emotions, has lost her ability to think. She didn't even think about how Zhao Ronghua, who stayed behind closed doors all day long, learned of the news from Xijiang.

Seeing that Zhao Ronghua looked like a madman, she bit her lip tightly, turned her head and said to Shu Qiu, "Look at Auntie, I'll go back and ask His Highness the Crown Prince immediately!"

Just as her aunt protected her in the past, now that she has grown up, she will defend her aunt's heart with the same firm attitude, preventing anyone from hurting her in the slightest.

Not even the crown prince!
