deep palace cold girl

Chapter 23

Jiyuxuan is a unique building in the Wangfu. It is built on the artificial lake with a nine-swivel suspension bridge. It flows down from a high place, overflows through the pipes on the top of the corridor, and forms an artificial waterfall with the corridor.

Looking from the bottom, it is very spectacular, especially on sunny days, when the mist splashes, it becomes a dazzling rainbow. In summer, it is the best holy place to escape the summer heat in the palace.

In the past, my favorite thing was to watch the splash of the waterfall in Jiyuxuan, and I would be very happy when I listened to the sound of Qingling. These days, I have forgotten that it is a place that can make people feel happy.

I'm not in a hurry to see Brother Ling, because I don't know how to face him. I'm still worried. Even if Brother Ling said so, it's a hurdle for the prince. After all, I'm the county of Muyang Palace in name. host.

Went to Jiyuxuan with Dong'er, played around for a while, the depression of the past few days gradually disappeared, but saw Sister Shuizhu running in a panic, pulling me back.

He hurriedly said: "Shang'er, go back quickly, the prince's condition is getting worse!"

There was a chill in my heart, and I had a bad premonition. I always felt that the happiness I had so hard to get was going away again.

He hurriedly ran to the Qionghan Tower, but saw Brother Ling kneeling in front of the prince's bed with his head bowed, his face pale.

The princess stood at the end of the bed, sobbing softly. When she saw me, her eyes turned into sharp arrows of anger and shot at me.

Looking at Prince Muyang who was lying on the bed, who had lost a lot of weight in just two days, his lips were covered with blood on his clothes, and his face was pale.

The doctor frowned tightly, shook his head and sighed, and after a while he opened his mouth and said, "It's weird, it's really weird, it was true that he fell down because of overwork and anger, why is his pulse so chaotic at this time?"

These words made everyone feel cold and their faces darkened.

Looking at Brother Ling and seeing his face full of self-blame, I already guessed that the prince's condition suddenly worsened. Could it be that Brother Ling said something to the prince?Is it about me?
"Doctor, what is the situation of the prince now?"

"Princess, don't worry. Judging by the pulse condition, my body fluctuates from hot to cold, and sometimes convulsions. I'm afraid the prince has a hidden disease. I will do my best to treat the prince!"

The doctor's words did not reassure everyone, the concubine sent everyone away, leaving only brother Ling.

Standing outside the Qionghan Tower, I feel uneasy, not knowing what is going on now.

Turning around, I saw Sister Jigeng standing behind me, hesitant to speak, I smiled lightly, and walked towards Liuyan Pavilion together with her.

I didn't open my mouth along the way, and she was also silent, but the worry in her eyes seemed to be overwhelmed.

"Sister Kikyo, what's the matter?"

She didn't open her mouth, so I had to take the initiative to ask. I don't blame her, because she was also commissioned by the prince to paint that painting.

"Shang'er...do you like the little prince?"

I was startled, and smiled faintly, is my mind obvious?The face under the veil blushed slightly, and she nodded slightly.

"Of course I like Brother Ling. To me, he is the most important person in the world."

"Shang'er, but you are brother and sister, there is no way between you!"

She seemed a little anxious, and her amber eyes were full of tears, and I realized that there was actually deep pain and helplessness hidden in those eyes.

Could it be that she also likes Brother Ling?

Laughing, lost, looking at her, I sighed lowly: "Sister Jugen, you already knew that the prince wanted me to marry Sheng Yanchao, right?"

She bowed her head and remained silent.

I pulled a wry smile and continued: "I have always thought that I am the happiest person. Although I am an orphan, I am loved by the prince and concubine, Brother Ling's meticulous care, and the friendship of the three sisters. In the past, I always thought that this kind of happiness would last, but one day I suddenly discovered that all of this is just an illusion. I am not a happy princess, but a pawn that can still be used."

Wiping the tears from the corners of my eyes, I smiled and looked at her.

"Actually, I should have known earlier. How could they adopt a beggar for no reason... Sister Kikyo, I have always regarded you as my own sisters, but I am the only one who does not know what all of you know. The feeling of being betrayed is really painful. Could it be that I can only be a pawn? I am also a person of flesh and blood, and I also want to have real happiness and freedom."

Sister Kikyo suddenly raised her head and looked at me, her sharp eyes seemed to shoot through me, her gentleness was no longer there, I actually felt that it was the first time I knew her, she was so strange like this.

"Shang'er, do you know what the little prince sacrificed for you? It might be his life, the world he had at his fingertips! Do you want to see him lose everything he has worked so hard for over the years for you? You know that for those, he How much did you pay? Even, for you, he disobeyed the prince, if this continues, he will be destroyed!"

Looking into the distance, I remained silent, maybe sister Kikyo was right.

Without marriage, the two countries may go to war at any time. With the current strength of Tianshu Kingdom, it is impossible to resist the invasion of Shengyan Dynasty.

Brother Ling gave up the whole country for me. I know he has his ambitions, and I also know that if he chooses me, he may lose everything.

"Do you have the heart to watch the proud little prince lose everything? This is your love for him? Shang'er, maybe Sister Kikyo is selfish. I really hope you can think about it carefully and don't regret it later!"

After finishing speaking, she stopped looking at me, turned around and walked out of Liuyan Pavilion.

"The county master..."

Dong'er appeared behind me at some point, looking at me worriedly.

"Dong'er, can I really not have happiness?"

No answer, is it, really can not have?
No one knew what the concubine had talked with brother Ling, only that he locked himself in the study for a long time after leaving the Qionghan Building, and when he came out, he had returned to his former calmness.

The prince's condition did not improve, and the envoys from the Shengyan Dynasty came to visit. It is said that they will leave for the country in two days, and the marriage has not been mentioned from the beginning to the end.
