The leaves fall without parallel

As soon as Xiao Lingche came out of the princess's mansion, he saw Qingshi waiting by the carriage.

"Why are you still here, where is Xiyan?"

"Your Majesty, Xiyan came out soaking wet. She said she was going back first."

"Why don't you send her back?"

"She said she would go back to the mansion first and asked her subordinates to wait for the prince here."

Xiao Lingche got on the carriage without saying a word and ordered Qingshi

"Return the same way, maybe she is still on the road"

"Yes, Your Majesty"

The master and servant drove the carriage all the way looking for Ye Qingge

"Your Majesty, maybe Xiyan has already returned home. I haven't seen her along the way."

"Go back home"

"Yes, Your Majesty"

Bluestone speeds up the carriage

After returning home, Xiao Lingche went straight to Xiyan's room. Xiaolan, who was cleaning at the door, saw Xiao Lingche and hurried forward to greet him.

"This servant pays homage to His Majesty."

Xiaolan bows and greets

"Where's Xiyan?"

Xiao Lingche asked

"Didn't my sister go out with you and come back with you?"

"So she hasn't come back yet."

Xiao Lingche turned around and told Qingshi

"Hurry up and follow me, take a group of guards and go find someone."

"Yes, Your Majesty"

Xiao Lingche and his guards were about to leave the house to look for someone, but Xi Yan appeared at the door.

"My Lord, where are you going?"

Ye Qingge was puzzled

"Xiyan, where have you been? We were just about to go out and look for you."

Qingshi asked first

"Your Majesty, I didn't know the way and was delayed on the road. Please forgive me."

Ye Qingge bowed and apologized to Xiao Lingche

"Nothing is wrong"

"Your Majesty, may I go back and change my clothes first?"

"Um"

Ye Qingge prostrated himself and left.

Watching Ye Qingge walk away, Qingshi was confused.

"Your Majesty, what happened in the Princess's Mansion just now? Why did Xiyan become a different person after returning? She suddenly became so polite that I am a little uncomfortable with her."

"She and Lin Ruoyue fell into the water. I asked her to apologize to Lin Ruoyue. I know she wouldn't push anyone into the water, but there were so many people around at the time. If I didn't let her apologize, it would be very troublesome, and the Lin family wouldn't let her go."

Xiao Lingche said to himself

"So that's how it is. She finally realized the difference between herself and her master, and began to understand the limits. This is a good thing, Your Majesty."

Xiao Lingche glanced at Qingshi. Why hadn't he noticed that Qingshi was so rude before?

"Tell the kitchen to make a bowl of ginger soup for Xiyan, and you go and deliver it yourself."

"Yes, Your Majesty"

The prince's look just now was a bit scary. He was right. Qingshi was very depressed.

Although this maid has some abilities, the prince really dotes on her too much. Next time, she should say less about Xiyan, so as not to upset the prince again.

Ye Qingge returned to the room. Xiaolan saw Ye Qingge coming back and ran over to ask

"Sister, how did you become like this?"

I was fine when I left home this morning, but my hair is all messed up and my clothes are all wrinkled.

"Oh, don't mention it. I followed the prince to the princess's mansion to celebrate her birthday, and was pushed into the water by Lin Ruoyue in the back garden."

"Ah... Is this Miss Lin who came to see the prince earlier?"

"Um"

"You have no grudge against her, why would she push you into this?"

"She's probably jealous of me being around the prince."

Lin Ruoyue is really vicious. Although the lake water is not deep, it is enough to kill someone who doesn't know how to swim. It seems that I have to be careful of her in the future.

"Ah, this woman is so hateful, sister, didn't you tell the prince?"

"The prince knew about it and asked me to apologize to her."

"What? She was the one who pushed you, why did you ask her to apologize? How could Your Highness do this? He is totally protecting her."

Xiaolan was very angry

"Forget it, Xiaolan. We maids can't compare to a rich lady. I can't ask her to apologize to me. Besides, there were a lot of people watching. The prince was doing this for my own good. Otherwise, it wouldn't be as simple as an apology. I would probably have even lost my life."

"So, our prince still protects you. I said that the prince treats you differently, hehe."

Ye Qingge looked at Xiaolan and smiled foolishly, shaking her head helplessly. This little girl is still so innocent.

With the prince's current power, it's just a matter of a word for him to protect anyone he wants. He probably doesn't want to offend the Lin family.

Or maybe Lin Ruoyue is really very important in his heart, after all, she is his childhood sweetheart.

Ye Qingge smiled bitterly in her heart. She thought the prince liked her, but it turned out that she was just being sentimental. Fortunately, she did not fall into it too deeply.

He also said that he treated Lin Ruoyue as his sister. What a lie a man can make.

Ye Qingge quickly changed into clean clothes, but still felt a little cold, so she simply went to lie down on the bed.

"Sister, are you cold?"

Xiaolan looked at Ye Qingge, who was still covered with a quilt in the hot weather.

“It’s a bit cold.”

Ye Qingge touched her forehead and felt it was a little hot. No wonder she felt dizzy all the way back.

"Xiao Lan, I seem to have a fever. I'll write you a prescription. Can you help me get some medicine from the medicine garden? By the way, please ask the prince before you go to get the medicine. He shouldn't be so stingy."

"Okay sister, I'll go right away."

Xiaolan saw Qingshi coming just as she reached the door

"Here, this bowl of ginger soup is for Xiyan."

Qingshi handed the ginger soup to Xiaolan

"My sister has a fever and can't drink this"

Xiaolan returns the soup to Qingshi

"What, are you sick? Then I'll go ask the prince for advice."

Xiaolan followed Qingshi away

In the study

"Your Majesty, Xiyan has a fever."

"Why don't you go get a doctor?"

Xiao Lingche put down the book in his hand

"Your Highness, Sister Xiyan is a doctor herself. She asked me to go to the medicine garden to get some medicine and ask Your Highness for your instructions."

Xiaolan showed the prescription to the prince

"Qingshi, take her to get the medicine."

"Yes, Your Majesty"

Qingshi took Xiaolan to the medicine garden

Xiao Lingche thought that this girl usually looked lively and energetic, but he didn't expect her physical fitness to be so poor. It was really difficult for her today.

Ye Qingge lay on the bed groaning, feeling so uncomfortable. The door opened and she thought it was Xiaolan coming back.

"Xiaolan, please pour me a glass of water."

Ye Qingge got up dazedly and leaned against the head of the bed, and a glass of water was handed to her.

"Thank you"

Ye Qingge lowered her head and drank it all. Her mouth was no longer so dry. She handed the cup to Xiaolan. Why was the hand she extended so big?

Looking up, it was Xiao Lingche. Ye Qingge was startled.

"My lord, why are you here?"

"Qingshi said you were sick, I came to see you."

Ye Qingge quickly stood up and prepared to greet Xiao Lingche

"What are you doing?" Xiao Lingche quickly supported Ye Qingge.

"I didn't know the prince was coming, so I'm here to pay my respects to him."

Xiao Lingche looked at Ye Qingge. Is she still angry with him?

"Are you angry with me?"

Ye Qingge was helped by Xiao Lingche to sit back on the bed

"Your Highness, you are joking. How dare I? I am not a servant of your status. How dare I be angry with Your Highness? Do you think my life is not long enough?"

This little mouth is chattering, and he says he's not angry

"I know you're not wrong about what happened today, but I'm afraid she'll cause you trouble in the future, so I'll ask you to admit your mistake to her. I'm sure she won't bother with you anymore."

It would be strange if she didn't care. This is the second time. Lin Ruoyue is determined not to let her go.
