After reading my mind, Daddy, why don't you smile?

"Shangguan Shu!"

"Shangguan Shu, wake up!"

Shangguan Shu suddenly opened his eyes, his scarlet eyes filled with confusion and pain, which startled Zhao Ying.

Zhao Ying didn't want to wake him up because he was crying too hard.

To put it bluntly, even when his mother died, she never saw him cry so much.

"Ying'er..."

Shangguan Shu stared at Zhao Ying in a daze. The high fever had made him so unconscious that he forgot to think and react.

Zhao Ying responded, but just stood up and walked to the door, asked the maid to bring the medicine, and then returned to the bed.

Shangguan Shu regained consciousness. He looked at Zhao Ying eagerly. She looked as pitiful as a stray dog ​​that no one wanted. He opened his lips and said in a trembling voice, "Ying'er, is that you?"

Zhao Ying stared at him quietly for a long while, then said without blushing or panting: "I am not, I am your mother. I know you want to see the princess, so I transformed myself into her appearance."

As he spoke, Zhao Ying touched Shangguan Shu's forehead with a handkerchief.

Well, it's still burning.

"Son, you have suffered..." Zhao Ying said, imitating the tone and expression of the old Duke's wife.

Shangguan Shu's pupils shrank when he heard this. After a while, he frowned slightly, his voice was hoarse, and his eyes were indulgent, "Ying'er, I am sick, not stupid..."

Zhao Ying: ...

Zhao Ying stood up expressionlessly, "Since you are fine, I will leave now."

Having said that, he turned around without hesitation.

"Don't go! Ah!"

There was a loud noise behind me, as if something fell off the bed.

Zhao Ying turned around and saw Shangguan Shu lying on the ground with his hand stretched out towards her. There was fear in his eyes, as if he was afraid that she would really leave.

Zhao Ying took a deep breath and said helplessly: "Lie back down, I won't leave."

Hearing this, Shangguan Shu's eyes lit up, "Okay, I'll lie down."

Perhaps because the high fever made his limbs weak, Shangguan Shu climbed onto the bed slowly, looking very strenuous.

He lay down, covered himself with the quilt, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, I heard the maid outside the door say, "Your Highness, the medicine is ready."

Zhao Ying brought the medicine and fed it to Shangguan Shu personally. During the whole process, Shangguan Shu stared at her without blinking, his eyes as sharp as torches.

Zhao Ying glanced at him calmly and thought, this look looks like Yue'er...

Shangguan Shu was reluctant to sleep after drinking the medicine, so he glared at Zhao Ying. Zhao Ying didn't say anything either, until he couldn't bear it any longer and fell asleep.

Zhao Ying stood up and left.

As soon as I stepped out of the door, I saw a tall figure standing in the cold wind not far away.

Zhao Ying asked softly, "Cousin?"

The figure moved and walked towards her.

"I thought you wouldn't come out..."

Wei Fu looked a little lonely. He obviously didn't expect that he had wanted to expose Shangguan Shu's self-torture scheme, but ended up making Zhao Ying owe Shangguan Shu a favor.

Shangguan Shu is really...

Zhao Ying was surprised, "Why?"

"He became like this for you, won't you be soft-hearted?"

The words were out of his mouth, and it was too late for Wei Fu to take them back.

This kind of words makes him seem petty.

Zhao Ying did not answer, but said, "You heard it just now. It was my father who asked me to stay."

It turned out to be like this...

Wei Fu's mood suddenly became clear. He knew that Yingmei was a decisive and straightforward person who would never change her mind once she made a decision.

Why would she still want to return to Shangguan Shu?

A light and happy smile appeared on Wei Fu's lips, but his eyes passed Zhao Ying and fell on the man who was standing alone at the door in a single piece of clothing.

With obvious provocation.

The man's gaunt body stood in the cold wind, but he didn't move at all, his chin slightly raised, his face calm, only a hint of emotion could be seen from his eyes which were as dark as rolling ink.

Everyone who knows him knows that Shangguan Shu is serious about this.

When Shangguan Shu received Wei Fu's provocation, he did not linger on him. He just glanced at him lightly and turned back.

The lights in the room were turned off, and it was as dark as an abyss. His figure quickly disappeared, as if being sucked in.

Zhao Ying seemed to have a premonition and looked back, but there was no one there?

Is she overthinking?

"Sister Ying, let me take you back!"

"Wait a minute, cousin..." Zhao Ying took out the jade hairpin from her arms and handed it to Wei Fu.

When Wei Fu saw the hairpin, his eyes darkened.

"Cousin, I...I can't accept your hairpin..."

"The hairpin is very beautiful... but this is not in accordance with etiquette. You should give this hairpin to your future sister-in-law!"

Zhao Ying tried to speak more tactfully.

Wei Fu clenched his hands at his side, and after a while, he pretended to be cheerful and said, "You are considerate. I didn't intend to give it to you, if you didn't insist..."

Wei Fu swallowed his saliva, as if he wanted to swallow the bitter taste in his throat, "I won't give you a gift either."

When Zhao Ying heard this, she immediately felt relieved. It turned out that she was overthinking it. She had just said that her cousin had been frank with her and that it was Shangguan Shu who was causing the trouble, so she had also overthought it.

Zhao Ying snorted and cursed with a smile, "Stingy!"

Then he walked away.

Wei Fu looked at Zhao Ying's back quietly. With a "bang", the jade hairpin broke.

The next morning, the two groups of people who hate to sleep the most, children and the elderly, met in the garden of the inn.

Shangguan Qingyue was pleasantly surprised, and rushed towards Emperor Jianxi, "Good morning, Grandfather!"

Emperor Jianxi picked up the little guy and asked, "Why did you get up so early?"

"Yue'er wants to go see daddy, okay?"

When Emperor Jianxi heard this, his heart softened. How could his grandson be so filial!

The little guy asked again, "Grandfather, what are you doing?"

Emperor Jianxi thought to himself, shouldn't I practice some exercises and lose some weight to welcome your grandmother?

But he didn't want to tell them in advance, he wanted to give them a surprise.

So he made up a lie, "As the ruler of a country, how can I just enjoy myself? I must work hard to govern the country and work day and night. Look, I got up early to go out and understand the people's sentiments... Hey, Yue'er, you must remember that a wise man must first do his own job well..."

Shangguan Qingyue opened his eyes wide, and their eyes rolled around.

Listen carefully to the most noble person in the world telling her the truth of life.

[Those who are idle should do their own work well? ]

Shangguan Qingyue's eyes suddenly lit up, she understood.

"Grandfather, I understand. I am an idle person. I have to do my own job now!"

"Oh? What is your responsibility?"

Emperor Jianxi was curious.

The little guy said in a baby voice, "My daddy is sick, I have to go take care of him!"

Waiting for illness?

Emperor Jianxi already had a psychological trauma from Shangguan Qingyue's words "attending to the illness".

He did not forget that Shangguan Qingyue had almost died while tending to Zhao Yao's illness.

Emperor Jianxi said tactfully: "Why don't you not go?"

"No, no, the Emperor's grandfather said that Yue'er must do his part and Yue'er must be obedient!"

Emperor Jianxi: ...Why is he so talkative?

My dear Shangguan, please don’t blame me.

Emperor Jianxi had no choice but to let Shangguan Qingyue go to "attend to the illness". As a result, when he arrived at Shangguan Shu's room, he found that no one was inside.

Shangguan Shu is gone...
