Qing Huan sat alone by the lotus pond, her eyes looking far away. It was already midnight, but he still hadn't come.
"Be good and sleep. I'm leaving. I'll come and see you tomorrow." That was what he said after gently tucking her in.
However…Qing Huan looked into the distance again.
"Master. The Third Prince had already left the city this morning.”Qing Ye stood behind Qing Huan and bowed.
Qing Yun, Qing Lan, and Qing Yan stood aside one by one, looking at Qing Huan worriedly.
" Master…" Qingyan took a step forward and placed her hand on Qing Huan's shoulder. They had seen their master's mind. It was not something a child could possess. Therefore, if he was moved, it was true.
"Master. Don't wait. Let's go to the Clear Cloud Restaurant for a drink." Qing Lan giggled, but her eyes were filled with comfort.
"You don't have to worry about me. He should do what he promised me.”Qing Huan tilted her head and smiled.
"Qingri, you should also persuade Master.”Qingyun nudged Qing Ri who was standing on the other side.
The five of them had met when their master was unconscious. Seeing that they had no ill intentions towards each other, they got along peacefully. After Qing Huan woke up, she realized that they were actually partners.
"I, I wanted Your Highness to come back." Seiri mumbled, his voice getting softer and softer. The unspecialized in front of him had a murderous look in his eyes. However, he had followed the Third Prince before and knew that His Highness was actually a person who valued promises. Moreover, the other party was the master, so he would not go back on his words. However, seeing the three of them approaching him step by step with evil smiles, Qing Ri cried out pitifully,"Master…"
"Alright, you guys…" Qing Huan was about to stop them.
Qing Ye, who hadn't participated in the discussion, suddenly spoke,""There's someone. Let's go." After saying that, a black shadow disappeared with a swoosh. The other four did not delay. In the blink of an eye, Qing Huan was the only one left by the pool.
" Sigh…" Qing Huan put down her hand and smiled helplessly. Then, he turned his head to look at the water in the lotus pond.
His night clearing skills were very good. There must be visitors coming.
As expected, in less than a moment. A thin figure landed behind Qing Huan.
The water swayed, and a handsome young man's face appeared on the surface of the water. Qing Huan looked at the youth in the reflection and smiled." Baili Che, you're too late." He did not turn around.
" Huan 'er, I…" Baili Che hesitated.
"Didn't you go to Kuling City?”Qing Huan continued.
"Huan 'er. " Listen to me…" Baili Che looked at Qing Huan's back and slowly sat down on the grass not far away. Then, he lowered his head.
"Huan 'er, my heart is in a mess right now. I have never encountered such a dilemma.”
"In your eyes, I've always been clean and pure. However, my hands are actually not as clean as anyone else's. When I was seven years old, I met Shao Luo for the first time. He brought me to the Silver Clothing Valley to pay respects to my mother's grave. When I was eight years old, I plotted against Fourth Brother to kill the spy the Empress had placed in my palace. From then on, the lives in his hands could no longer be counted.”
"As long as I can get one step closer to that seat. As if everything is worth it."
"Huan 'er, I'm thirteen years old this year. She had always thought that she was determined enough. But today, I realized my weakness and softness.”
"Yin San disguised himself as me and went to Kuling City. I have to rush over tomorrow morning."
"But, Huan 'er. Even if I agree to the marriage alliance with the Beihan Kingdom. I won't let you down."
Huan 'er, I only want five years."
"Can…can you wait for me?"
Baili Che said what he wanted to say intermittently. Suddenly, he felt an indescribable sense of shame. What was he doing? He was making things difficult for the girl he hated the most. How could he be like this? At this point, he still said that he would not let her down. Wasn't he letting her down?
Qing Huan looked at the water and didn't speak for a long time. After a while, he sighed softly.
Baili Che felt as if he had been struck by lightning when he heard this soft sigh.
He sat there blankly for a while before he suddenly laughed. That smile seemed to have received all the light in the sky, and it looked like it could shine through the entire spring."Huan 'er, can you just treat it as if you've just arrived?”
He stood up and took two steps forward. He suddenly opened his arms and hugged Qing Huan from behind. Tight and deep. There was no space for a hug. It was as if he wanted to use up all of his emotions.
A warm breath brushed past her ear. I like you."
Then, Qing Huan felt a chill. It was empty behind him. She was the only one left.
What no one saw was a drop of clear tear falling on the water surface, creating ripples. Until everything returned to normal. It was as if nothing had happened.
Why did she start to miss him as soon as they separated? Qing Huan laughed. Under the moonlight, she looked exceptionally hazy.
Behind a tree in the distance, a young man stood silently. Her eyes were filled with pity as she looked at the delicate figure by the pool.
"Ye, let's go." Qingyun patted him on the shoulder, his voice filled with helplessness and understanding. It was hard not to love and dote on a girl like that.
Qing Ye nodded slightly. He understood the girl's determination. This was the only night that he would be in a sorry state. She didn't have any extra self-esteem to put her feelings to use. She had said it herself.
But what he didn't know was that things that he hadn't experienced before would always sound cool.
That night. The three people from the Nalan Residence did not sleep.
Five days later, Jing Hua Garden.
Qing Huan was trying to calm down. How deep were his feelings for Baili Che? What level had he reached? She never believed that there was anything in this world that she couldn't do without.
She was still young, not even nine years old. Of course, she automatically ignored the age of her previous life. Women had always been used to deceiving themselves when it came to age. Alright, she was still young. There was no need to consider these things. In that case, it was his career. Therefore, she had actually been dealing with business matters at the Clear Cloud Loft for the past two days. She was a lazy boss. After she handed over the task, she rarely interfered. It was always their own development. This time, she had participated in two annexation cases. He went to Qingyan's March of Fireworks to teach a few courtesans a lesson. He even went to Lan Hua Villa to grind herbs for the entire afternoon.
On this day, when she woke up and thought of Baili Che, she could suppress the sadness in her heart. Hence, he smiled. The initial difficulties were finally over.
So she remembered that she had left early and returned late these few days and had not seen her mother.
She put on her clothes, washed up briefly, and walked towards Jing Hua Garden.
It was already strange enough that the servant boys and maids he met on the way looked at him awkwardly. The moment he entered Jing Hua Garden, he was actually lifeless and lifeless. What exactly happened?
Qing Huan was worried and quickened her pace.
As soon as he stepped into the bedroom, he smelled the faint smell of medicine."Mother."
"Huan 'er is here. Come in quickly." Madam Nalan's voice came from the other side of the screen.
Qing Huan turned into the screen and saw her mother lying on the bed, covered with a thin blanket. His face was pale and almost transparent. He seemed to be about to disappear in the cool morning sun. He was shocked.
"Mother, what's wrong?" Qing Huan sat beside Lady Nalan and grabbed her hand, her voice trembling.
"Good Huan 'er, Mother is fine. Don't worry. I just caught a cold." Madam Nalan smiled weakly and comforted her daughter gently.
Qing Huan felt a sharp pain in her heart, not only because her mother had weakened so much in such a short period of time. He regretted not discovering it. He was only immersed in his own unhappiness and actually ignored his mother.
"Men." Qing Huan said loudly.
"Little Miss." Duan Rou and Duan Jing walked in. They bowed in unison. She looked at Qing Huan and her eyes turned red.
"Duanjing, go to Lan Hua Villa and invite Lan Ji over. He said that Miss Nalan, please come quickly.”Qing Huan stopped Lady Nalan and quickly ordered.
Duan Jing's face relaxed and she left happily.
"Duan Rou, tell me everything that happened these few days. Don't leave anything behind."
Duan Rou glanced at Lady Nalan. Shaking his teeth, he lowered his head and replied,"Five days ago, the night was a little cold. Young Lady waited for General until late at night, and General stayed in the Plum Garden.”
Qing Huan's eyes turned cold and his expression darkened."Continue."
"On the second day, Young Lady ate a little less and was in a daze.”
"On the third day, Madam Li of the Plum Gardens came to visit Young Lady. She said…said she came to pay her respects to Young Lady. The general personally came to pick up Madam Li and returned to the plum garden. That night, Young Lady felt a little feverish."
"I invited a doctor yesterday and prescribed some medicine. However, after taking the medicine, Miss's spirit became worse. Duanjing and I were a little scared, so we went to report to the general. The general said…"
"What did you say?" Qing Huan asked.
"Say, since Young Lady's health is not good, then all the matters in the residence will be moved to Li Furen's place to handle. Miss is not feeling well, so call the doctor over.”
"Has the general never been here?" Qing Huan looked at Duan Rou.
"I haven't." Duan Rou replied in a low voice.
"Where's Young Master?"
"Young Master has been staying at Young Master Black Eagle's residence for the past few days to help him prepare for the exam. The Young Lady had instructed not to tell the Young Master about the matters in the residence.”
Qing Huan looked up at her mother. Her mother was still smiling at her, but there were tears on her eyelashes.
"Huan 'er. Mother is really fine, don't…" She choked.
"Miss, Miss Lan Ji has arrived." Duan Jing and the girl in blue hurried in.
Qing Huan stood up and bowed,"Sorry to trouble you, Miss Lan Ji." Please take a look at my mother's body."
"Greetings, Miss Nalan. Let me check your pulse first." As she spoke, she did not rest and sat by the bed. She pulled Madam Nalan's hand and took her pulse.
After a moment, Lan Ji looked at Qing Huan and said,"Miss Nalan, please move aside."”
Qing Huan nodded and brought Lan Ji to the next room.
As soon as the door closed, Qing Lan knelt down." Master, Qinglan is guilty."
"Get up and explain." Qing Huan's voice was calm and emotionless.
"Madam took a large amount of God of Food Powder.”Qing Lan answered with her head lowered.
"Food God Powder." Qing Huan clenched his fists and repeated Qing Lan's words, one word at a time. After a while, he continued,"I'll give you two days to recuperate Madam Nalan's body." Is there a problem?"
"No, I haven't." Qing Lan answered happily," Also, there's something I need to tell you.”
"Speak."
"My master is here. He said he wanted to see you tonight."
"Sure. I'll wait for him in the clouds." Qing Huan nodded, then turned around to open the door and leave.
Qing Lan sighed. When would Master be able to breathe a sigh of relief?
Qing Huan turned back to Madam Nalan's bed and looked at her for a long time. In the end, she only asked softly,""Mother. I want to leave. Are you willing to accompany me?”Then, he returned to the watery clouds. With Qinglan here, Mother's body would be fine.
She had already decided to leave. I'm determined to leave.
That night, Qing Huan stood in the study room with the windows wide open. He was waiting for a white figure.
The night gradually darkened. Finally, a white shadow swept over from the horizon. As fast as lightning. Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:111420183: 49PM #Cancel Review All: wdd201302 Time:111420185:56PM
