"Your mother should be crying," Feng Yin said with a smile.”As she spoke, she walked out. Mu Sen walked her to the door, lifted the curtain with one hand, and looked out blankly. Nanny Chu walked over and said,"Young lady, it's cold outside. Don't stay here, let's go in.”
Mu Sen turned around and walked inside. He sat down beside the brick bed, but he was still in a daze and did not say anything. Seeing her like this, Nanny Chu advised,"Lie down and sleep for a while."
Mu Sen shook his head and said," I'm not sleepy. Granny, go and rest. I'll sit here for a while."”
Granny Chu knew that she was waiting for the cold, so she could only coax her,""Even if you're not tired, lie down. You can't be bothered with your illness.”Mu Sen ignored her and picked up the medicine box again. He opened it and looked at it carefully. Then, he took it out one by one and put it back neatly. After being urged by Nanny Chu several times, Mu Sen finally lay down and fell asleep in a short while.
Not long after she fell asleep, someone walked in. However, this person was not Leng but Hong Li. Seeing that there was no one in the room, he went to the inner room and saw Mu Sen lying on the brick bed. He slowed down his footsteps and walked in. He looked at Mu Sen attentively, and his fair face became more and more clean, like a fairy who had fallen into the mortal world. His brows were furrowed, and he looked like Xi Zi. Did this turbid world make her sick? It made people feel pity for her.
Hongli gently raised his hand and stroked her cheek. It was delicate, smooth, white, and gentle, making one unable to put it down.
At this moment, Nanny Chu came in and saw her. She was shocked and hated herself for not watching the girl at all times. Seeing that this person could come in, she thought that the master and madam would recognize him. She didn't know which rich young master he was. She suppressed her anger and said with a smile,"Young Lady is sleeping, please invite her when she wakes up.”As he spoke, he walked forward and pulled the blanket up for Musen, then pressed the corner of the blanket.
"You're still sleeping at this time? Can you sleep at night?" asked Hongli. It's time to wake him up."
Granny Chu was about to answer when Mu Qing walked in and said,""Please don't. No one dares to wake her up when she's not awake. Besides, she's sick now. Mother won't let anyone disturb her.”As he spoke, he bowed to Hongli. Hongli waved his hand, indicating that he was not going to bow, and said,"You're too spoiled."
Mu Qing smiled and said,"Your Highness, let's go outside."”
Although Hongli was reluctant to leave, he could only follow them out. Only then did he remember that it was Mu Qing who was talking to him. He had seen her that day and said,"Are you Musen's sister?"
Mu Qing poured a cup of tea for Hong Li and said with a smile,"Yes, I am. But she never called me sister.”
Hongli took the tea and said,"Oh, why?"”
"How would I know?" Mu Qing laughed.”
"What kind of tea is this?" Hongli asked after taking a sip of tea. The taste is so faint."
Mu Qing said,"Your Highness is not used to drinking it, so I asked someone to change it. It's because my sister likes to drink this tea, so there's only this tea in this room."”
After listening, Hongli took another sip and said after savoring it,""It really smells good." She then slowly said," You are her sister. If she doesn't call you that, then she has no rules. Why doesn't your mother call her?"”
Mu Qing smiled faintly and said," Sister is the rule. Who would criticize her? Besides, she's sick. She's a treasure in the palm of her hand, a piece of meat in her heart."”
"It seems that I'll have to be spoiled like this when I get married in the future," said Hongli with a smile.”As he was talking, he heard the sound of someone getting up and walking. He thought that it was Mu Sen, so he immediately stood up and walked inside. He didn't want to bump into Mu Sen. Mu Sen heard a man's voice in his half-asleep state. The first thing he felt was cold. He got up and hurried outside. However, he didn't expect Hongli to be there. His smile froze and he smiled awkwardly. He said,"When did you arrive?"
Hongli saw that she had changed from a smile to a disappointment when she saw him. How could it escape his eyes? He was a little unhappy, but he quickly dispersed and said,"I just arrived."
"His Highness is here to see you," said Granny Chu with a smile.”
"It's hard for you to think about it, but I'm much better," said Musen.”
"I'm relieved now that you're feeling much better," said Hongli.”
Mu Sen looked at Hong Li in confusion. He thought that they were not familiar with each other, so why did he come to see her? Then, he thought that it might be because of Gong Er. He turned around and walked to the bed, collapsed, and said,"I'm still asleep."
"What time is it now? Since you're awake, let's talk."”As she spoke, she sat down beside him. Mu Sen thought that Hongli should go out now that she was lying down, but he was sitting beside her. He quickly raised his body to avoid her and said seriously,"Why are you like this? I'm still sleepy and don't want to talk.”
When Hongli saw her getting up to avoid him, his face instantly darkened. He had never experienced being rejected like this.
Mu Qing and Nanny Chu saw Hongli's expression change and heard what Mu Sen said. They couldn't help but feel nervous. He was a noble prince, but he had caused trouble this time. They looked at Mu Sen worriedly. Unexpectedly, Hongli said,"Don't tell me you're still angry at what I said last time. It's been so long, but you still remember.”After saying that, he looked at Musen with interest.
Hearing him mention what happened last time, Mu Sen felt irritated and his heart began to ache. He unconsciously raised his hand to cover his chest. When Nanny Chu saw this, she was shocked and said,"What's wrong? Does it hurt again?" He pulled her to the bed and asked her to lie down. Mu Sen refused to lie down and stood there in a daze. Hongli knew that it was because he was there, but he still walked over and asked with a deep gaze,"You hate me?"
Musen turned his head to avoid his gaze and remained silent.
Granny Chu also quickly smiled and said,""Yes yes, miss is not awake and is sick, wangye must not be angry.”
Hongli suddenly laughed and said with interest,""What are you talking about? Why would I be angry with a little girl? You should rest. However, I really should teach you some rules.”
After saying that, he smiled at Mu Sen and followed Mu Qing out. He was still unhappy and left after saying a few words.
After another four hours, Leng finally came. Mu Sen handed Leng a medicine box. Leng didn't know what it was, so she took it and opened it. She smiled and said,"Why are you giving me this? I'm fine.”
"Aren't you going to share my joys and sorrows? I'm taking the medicine now, so you have to take it too," said Musen mischievously.”
"Alright," said Leng.
"Remember to take one before you go to bed every night," said Musen.”
"I know. How are you? Why do you still look so pale?"”
"I'm fine. I'll be fine after a while," said Musen. I heard that you came yesterday afternoon. Why didn't you wake me up?”
"You're asleep, and there's nothing to do anyway. It's not worth it to wake you up just to see you," said Leng.”
"I'll decide whether it's worth it or not." Musen pursed his lips.”
"You, ah, if I woke you up and made you angry, wouldn't I be asking for trouble?"”
Mu Sen smiled and said," Why did you wake me up? I'm angry with you. You're in the wrong, yet you're blaming me again."”As she spoke, she twisted Leng's arm fiercely.
Leng dodged and smiled,"I was wrong. Please forgive me this time." Oh right, what else did your mother say to you last night?”
"No." Musen was stunned.”After saying that, she looked at Leng. Seeing that he was a little disappointed, she asked again,"What did my mother say to you?"
"No." Leng quickly replied.
Musen didn't believe him." He must have said something. Otherwise, why are you asking me? I've never hidden anything from you, but you're hiding it from me."”
Seeing that Mu Sen was unwilling, Leng could only hold his forehead and say,"He just wants me to give in to you and protect you well so that you don't suffer.”Musen looked at Leng foolishly and smiled. Leng held her hand and said affectionately,"Only when you are well can I be well.”
At this moment, Muna ran in. He stood up coldly and took a few steps forward. He bent down and picked him up. He hugged him and said,"I haven't seen you for a few days. You've grown taller again."
"Why are you back so early?" asked Musen.”
Just as he finished speaking, Yilan, Ruoxin, and the others walked in one by one and said,""It's still early."
"Brother Leng, Ma asked you to accompany me to ride a horse. Let's go now." Mu Na waved his hands and said.”After saying that, she pulled him out with all her might. She looked coldly at Musen, who was reluctant to part with her. However, this was the only way she could do it.
"Be careful," Ruoxin warned worriedly.”
"There's nothing to worry about with Leng accompanying you," Yi Lan said with a smile.”
"I'm going too," Musen said unhappily.”
"What are you going to do?" Yilan shouted.”
"Be good," he said, smiling coldly at Musen.”With that, she followed Mu Na out and did not elaborate further.
At night, Nanny Chu gently patted Mu Na. Yilan leaned back on the couch and asked with a smile,""Sleeping?"
Granny Chu nodded with a smile and said,""Yes, I'm exhausted today."
Yi Lan said," It's been hard on me. I was thinking that you should rest now that Yi Erha is grown up, but you have to worry about this illness. Also, our little ancestor has to be coaxed by you to sleep."”
Granny Chu's face was filled with a blissful smile as she said softly,""Madam, what are you saying? This is my blessing.”
Seeing that there was no one around, Yilan asked quietly,"At that time, I brought you here from that manor. Did you blame me?”
Granny Chu was stunned at first, but then she smiled and said,""No, I haven't."
"Of course there is." Yi Lan pouted.”
Granny Chu said," I really didn't. I was bought by the master of that manor to be a servant. I'm already in my thirties, but I still want to be a concubine. If word got out, I would be laughed at. If it weren't for the madam bringing me here, I wouldn't have been able to stay in that manor."”
Yilan said regretfully," So what if you're 30 years old? You were still so beautiful back then. You didn't look like a person of that age at all. It's all my fault. I'm on sister-in-law's side. Perhaps you'll have a son and a daughter after you follow my brother. You'll have someone to rely on in the future."”
Granny Chu didn't expect Yilan to say these words, but she didn't want to continue this topic. She remembered what happened in the day and her heart was still in a knot, especially when Hongli said,"But I really should teach you some rules." Those words and eyes made her unable to let go, so she asked softly,"Is our lady very familiar with Prince Bao?”
Yilan couldn't help but be stunned." How are we familiar? Why do you ask?" she asked.”
Granny Chu told Yilan everything that had happened this afternoon. Yilan's heart tightened, but she also said to her in relief,""You think that girl of yours is like a treasure, and others also think that she is like a treasure? What a girl should do, she did not know. It was only when she was sick that she felt a little gentle and lovely. Look at her usually, she did not look like a girl at all.”
Nanny Chu patted Mu Na and smiled without saying anything. Ruoxin entered and said softly,""She's asleep."
Granny Chu stood up and said to Yilan,""Furen should also rest. I will send Little Brother over there.”
"Alright," Yilan said lazily,"Granny, you can go back after you send them over."”
After seeing them leave, Huixin said,"Is Madam waiting for Master?"
"Why aren't you back yet?" Yilan said."Let's wait a little longer. You can go down first and leave me alone."”
"Yes," Huixin replied. Then, he led the two servant girls out.
Yi Lan was the only one left in the room. She carefully recalled what Granny Chu had said. Why did Prince Bao come? It couldn't be that she had taken a fancy to Yi Erha, right? Yi Lan shook her head with a smile as she thought about it. Suddenly, her heart tightened. Could it be because of Mu Qing? In terms of appearance, talent, and temperament, Mu Qing far surpassed Yi Erha. Just as she was letting her imagination run wild, she heard someone talking outside. She stood up and walked over. When she saw Gong Er, she smiled and said,"You're back. Where did you go so late? Have you eaten?”
"Yes, I did," replied Gong E. At this moment, a servant girl came in with tea. Gong E took a sip.
Seeing that he seemed to have something on his mind, Yilan said to her subordinates,"All of you may leave." Everyone left.
"What's wrong?" asked Yilan.
"Today, the Emperor told me that he wants you to bring our young lady into the palace to pay her respects to Imperial Consort Xi," said Gong E.”
"Why?" Yi Lan was stunned and thought deeply. Did he say anything?"
"No," replied Gong E. Seeing Yilan's worried expression, he could only comfort her,"Don't think too much. What can happen? It's just that your sister misses you and is too embarrassed to tell you, so the emperor said this on her behalf. Besides, this is a big festival, so it's only right to pay her respects. You haven't seen each other for fifteen years, right? You're too willful.”
"You only know how to talk about me to outsiders. Besides, what kind of sister is she?" Yi Lan said.”After saying that, he stared at Gong E.
Gong E said," Alright, you're right no matter what. Get up early tomorrow and get ready. Oh right, take Muqing with you. He only said that he's taking our daughter with him. He didn't say which one. Musen is sick and can't go out."”
Yilan punched him and said with a smile,"You don't have to say that." Gong Er held her in his arms for the entire night.
