Seeing Shangguan Qingyue suddenly stopped talking, Xuanyuan Yan nervously propped up his crutches and stood up, walked around the piano table and walked to her side. He reached out and gently rubbed her head and asked:

"Why, did you really beat yourself silly?"

Shangguan Qingyue subconsciously avoided his touch, scratched her head to hide her embarrassment, and said hesitantly:

"Uh, hey, it's time to leave suddenly. Maybe it's a bit tiring to crochet these anklets. I'm going to go out for a walk to relax my eyes and come back later."

After saying that, she was about to stand up, but Xuanyuan Yan held her shoulders down.

"You haven't answered me yet. In your opinion, what kind of man is a good match?"

Shangguan Qingyue felt somewhat helpless. She put the fabric in her hand back into the bamboo basket and raised her little face and said:

"As a couple, even if they can't be in love, they should at least respect each other, right? The fifth prince got married less than three months ago and he wants to marry a concubine. No matter how you look at it, he has ulterior motives. How can you entrust your life to such a person?

Miss Wang is not only beautiful, but also as talented as any man. Wouldn't it be better to marry a man who loves her in his heart and eyes? Why bother sharing a husband with others?"

Xuanyuan Yan loosened his hand on her shoulder, put his cane under his armpit and walked out slowly. Seeing that Shangguan Qingyue was still not following him, he turned around and said:

"Didn't you say you wanted to go out for a walk? Why aren't you moving?"

Shangguan Qingyue immediately stood up, trotted behind the other person, and followed closely.

The most eye-catching thing outside the study is the Moon Fairy.

Because of the introduction of hot spring water into the mansion, a stream with steaming water runs through the entire house. The Moon Palace Fairy was planted beside the stream, nourished by the hot spring water all day long and not disturbed by the severe cold. At this time, the flowers are still in full bloom.

Not only that, wherever the stream flows, there is lush greenery. Shangguan Qingyue couldn't help but sigh every time she came to take a walk in the courtyard.

Neither of them spoke, but there was a warm feeling flowing between them.

Shangguan Qingyue suddenly turned her gaze to Xuanyuan Yan's injured right leg, and just kept staring at it as she walked.

Unexpectedly, the person in front of her suddenly stopped, and she was watching too intently, so she bumped into his back.

She rubbed her sore nose and tears welled up uncontrollably. Xuanyuan Yan felt distressed and amused at the sight.

"Could it be that he left again? What's the reason this time?

Fortunately, I stood still enough. If you had knocked me to the ground and my leg injury had gotten worse, I would have depended on you for the rest of my life."

His words were a little ambiguous, and Shangguan Qingyue's face instantly turned red. She looked around and didn't say anything. Seeing that the other party was looking straight at her, she immediately asked:

"I just looked at your right leg carefully and found that it has recovered well. You don't have to be disabled. You don't need to be too pessimistic."

"Well, I'll borrow your good words then."

Seeing that the other party looked indifferent and didn't seem to care, she asked again:

"Then why did Your Highness deliberately let the world think that your legs would definitely be lame?"

In fact, she had wanted to ask this question a long time ago. Doctor Nan Rong had stayed in the mansion for seven days without showing any sign of worry. If he was really not sure that he could cure the patient, he should not be so relaxed.

In addition, she had been with Xuanyuan Yan day and night for some time, and many times she saw him using a cane, but it was clear that he was not using it for support.

Xuanyuan Yan was not surprised that the little girl would find out the clues. He had never pretended in front of her, so it was only a matter of time before he was exposed.

He stopped in a pavilion, and the servants immediately laid thick cushions on the stools in the pavilion and brought two burning charcoal basins.

After the two sat down, tea and snacks were quickly served.

After everything was packed up, Xuanyuan Yan spoke slowly:

"Don't they say that true friendship emerges in times of adversity? I'll just take this opportunity to see what a person's true nature is like."

With a smile in his eyes, he asked again:

"But you, being entangled by a lame prince like me, aren't you worried at all that I will rely on you?"

He brought up the old matter again, obviously not intending to let it go.

Shangguan Qingyue smiled and shook her head.

"Your Highness, even if you are really lame, does that mean you are no longer yourself? Since you are still the same person, why should I worry?

not to mention……"

She was halfway through her words when she suddenly hesitated, not knowing whether she should continue. She just picked up a spoon, scooped a piece of cake into her mouth and ate it slowly.

Although she ran a dessert shop, she didn't like sweets very much. She took one bite and didn't touch it again. She took two or three sips of tea to wash away the sweetness in her mouth.

Xuanyuan Yan waited patiently for her to put down the teacup in her hand before asking:

"Not to mention what?"

"Besides, I am just a country girl. What good is there for you to rely on me? You have been born in the clouds, while I have been rolling in the mud all day long. There is a huge difference between us."

She spoke seriously, without any sign of inferiority or timidity on her face, and it was obvious that she was speaking from her heart.

Xuanyuan Yan didn't like what he heard, and said with a frown:

"What does it matter if we are in the clouds or not? We all live on the mundane world. I just find you, a person who rolls in the mud, very pleasing to the eye."

After these words came out, Shangguan Qingyue could no longer deceive herself. This was clearly, clearly...

She sat there in a daze, and saw Xuanyuan Yan pick up the cake in front of her that she had only taken a bite of and put it in front of her, eating it with gusto.

This action frightened her so much that she started to hiccup.

At first, Xuanyuan Yan could still hold it in, but later, when the hiccups continued, he just burst into laughter. This laughter almost resounded throughout the Third Prince's Mansion, and the servants thought they were hallucinations when they heard it.

In all these years, they had never heard their master laugh so happily! This was truly the first time in history!

“Your Highness! Hiccup, I’m in such a state of distress, and you, hiccup, are actually gloating over my misfortune!”

The little girl was very annoyed, but she couldn't stop the burping. Her whole face, including her ears, was red, and the red even showed signs of spreading to her neck.

She simply stood up, pulled the hem of her skirt to the side, tied it around her waist skillfully, and ran along the bluestone brick road in the yard.

The clothes she wears now are all tailor-made by Shangpin Pavilion according to her ideas. The original skirt is made into four pieces, and the inner lining is thick trousers.

Anytime and anywhere, if she feels inconvenient, she just needs to lift up the hem of her skirt and tie it around her waist on both sides.

Her breathing was a little disordered at first, but became more rhythmic later, and she gradually forgot about the hiccups.

Xuanyuan Yan held his chin with one hand, his eyes following the green figure all the time, with a faint smile on his lips. The little girl was obviously panicking, which was a good thing.

Seeing this, Shuying, who was watching from afar, immediately ran back to get a thick cloak, and put it on her young lady as soon as she stopped.

Shangguan Qingyue was running and thinking about random things in her mind, but she was suddenly interrupted by Shuying when she was immersed in it. The little girl first stuffed a heater into her hands, and then put a cloak and a hood on her.

After everything was tidied up, he said:

"Miss, the lady sent a message saying that the old master had a stroke. Please go back and visit him."

Shangguan Qingyue was stunned for a moment before she realized that the 'old man' Shuying was referring to was her stepfather.

"Stroke? Can you tell me what caused the stroke?"

Shuying lowered her voice and replied:

"They said that the Second Master was angry with them. I don't know any more details. The person who came didn't elaborate."

This matter naturally needs to be discussed with Xuanyuan Yan. After listening, he thought for a moment and said:

"I'll go with you to see the old man, and we'll pick up the miracle doctor on the way."

Shangguan Qingyue wanted to refuse immediately, but Xuanyuan Yan did not give her a chance and said:

"I'll be worried if I don't go with you. If you find it inconvenient, I'll wait for you in the carriage."

Shangguan Qingyue opened her mouth, but finally nodded obediently.

Fu Qiuyang had the same idea as Xuanyuan Yan. He also came with Shangguan Yunxin and was also waiting outside without entering the mansion.

The old man was in much better condition than expected. Although his mouth was a little crooked, he was still conscious. Although he spoke with some effort, he could still hear clearly.

Zhou Xiaonan didn't come with them because he had something to do. Nan Rongyuanzhi carried the medicine box and walked towards the old man's bed very reluctantly, but was stopped by Shangguan Zheng halfway.

He looked at Shangguan Chong, somewhat annoyed and angry:

"Brother, what's your intention in bringing a doctor here? Could it be that you don't trust me?

Where did you find this barefoot doctor? If something happens to your father due to his careless treatment, can you afford the consequences? ! "

Lu immediately echoed:

"My elder brother and sister-in-law seem to be desperate and are seeking medical help. Yesterday, my husband invited the imperial physician from the palace to come to the house. You two can rest assured."

Then she glanced at Nan Rongyuanzhi with contempt and ordered the servants:

"Come here, give him five taels of silver and send him away quickly."
