Every time the prince opens his eyes, he sees

Gu Huai could still say that he had returned home, but Xie Qingchen was also missing. What happened?

Could it be that he had thought it through again and decided not to appear in front of her and left?

But his room and his things are still there!

After looking around but couldn't find Xie Qingchen, Lu Yaoyao had no choice but to go back to her room.

……

The best incense in Beijing.

First-class room.

"Bishui, this is the Bone-Dissolving Pill. Find a way to mix it into Xie Qingyu's diet every day. Within a month, all his internal organs will fail and he will die suddenly."

"Yes, sir." The beautiful woman in green took a green porcelain bottle from Xie Qingchen.

In front of his subordinates, Xie Qingchen didn't need to disguise himself, so he showed himself with white hair.

Bishui felt very distressed when she saw this. "Master, is there really no way your body can recover as before?"

"No."

"My men heard that there is..."

Before she could finish, Xie Qingchen interrupted her, "You don't need to worry about my affairs. You just need to do your part."

Bishui immediately changed his expression to respectful, "I understand."

Bishui put on a white gauze hat and put the medicine bottle in place

Collect it and leave.

Xie Qingchen was the only one left in the elegant and exquisite room. He looked out the window with a dim gaze.

If there is hope of recovery, he doesn't want to give up.

But as long as she continues to live, Lu Yaoyao will never get the freedom and happiness she wants in her life.

It was dark and Xie Qingchen had not returned yet. Lu Yaoyao began to worry.

She tossed and turned in the room, feeling a little uneasy.

Although she told herself not to think too much, that inexplicable worry followed her like a shadow.

It seems like this time is different from the last time.

But I don’t know if it’s really different or if her state of mind has changed.

The next morning, Lu Yaoyao woke up early and had some breakfast, but still couldn't find Xie Qingchen. She grew increasingly anxious and decided to go out and look for him.

Walking on the bustling street, Lu Yaoyao looked around, hoping to see Xie Qingchen.

However, there are so many people, where can she look for him?

Just when she was about to give up, a familiar figure suddenly came into her sight.

That was Xie Qingchen. He was standing in front of a stall not far away, talking to the stall owner.

Lu Yaoyao was delighted and walked over quickly.

"Xie Qingchen, where have you been? I've been looking for you for a long time." Lu Yaoyao said angrily.

Xie Qingchen turned around and saw Lu Yaoyao, a hint of tenderness flashed in his eyes, "I was just going out for a walk, I didn't expect you to come to see me."

"If you like leaving without saying a word so much, you might as well not come back in the future." There was a hint of blame in Lu Yaoyao's tone.

Xie Qingchen smiled slightly and reached out to gently stroke Lu Yaoyao's hair. "I'm sorry for making you worry. Thank you for your concern. I will tell you when I go out next time."

It seems that being persistent does have its benefits. Even if she doesn't love him, she has gotten used to him being around.

Lu Yaoyao looked at Xie Qingchen like this, and the anger in her heart gradually dissipated.

She didn't know that her anger came and went so quickly.

The two returned to the courtyard together, and Lu Yaoyao took out the leftover breakfast and gave it to Xie Qingchen.

"Xie Qingchen, where did you go? Why did you leave without saying a word?" Lu Yaoyao couldn't help but ask.

Xie Qingchen was silent for a while, then slowly said: "I went to do some things, there are some things I have to do in person."

Lu Yaoyao looked at Xie Qingchen's mysterious expression, and became even more curious. "What's going on?"

Xie Qingchen shook his head. "I can't tell you now, but you will know one day."

"Tch, pretending to be a ghost."

……

When Bishui returned to the East Palace, Xie Qingyu was drinking heavily. His eyes were blurry and he was completely drunk. There were several wine bottles scattered on the ground. Not only that, the surroundings were in a mess. It was obvious that he was angry and smashed the place.

"Prince, what's wrong with you?"

"Bishui, where have you been? Why haven't I seen you? Do you know how much I miss you? That old man scolded me again, saying that I'm not even as good as Xie Qingchen. If Xie Qingchen was so good, why would he be ruined by that old man?"

"Yes, our Highness is the most wise and powerful. The Emperor is old and has lost his mind."

"Bishui is still obedient, and what she said is what I like the most. Come, pour me some wine, and let's have a drink."

At this moment, Xie Qingyu let down his guard, which was the best time to drug him.

While coaxing Xie Qingyu, Bishui quietly took out the bottle of bone-dissolving pill from her sleeve.

She poured herself a glass of wine first, then poured Xie Qingchen a glass of wine, and quietly put the pill in while he was not paying attention.

The pill dissolved in water and was handed to Xie Qingyu.

Xie Qingyu was completely unprepared and drank it all in one gulp, smiling and praising the mellow taste of the wine.

Bishui watched him gradually sink deeper into drunkenness, a smile curling up at the corner of her lips, "No matter what happens, I will always be by your side."

"Yes, I was exiled to that bitter cold place, but you didn't despise me. You stayed by my side the whole time and helped me to cheer myself up. So I will treat you well for the rest of my life."

The corners of Bishui's lips curled up.

Stupid man.

……

Lu Yaoyao heard a loud noise outside before she woke up. If the bad guy Xie Qingchen woke her up on purpose, she would definitely scold him to death.

I ran out in a rage, only to see a dreamy swing set.

"You're working on this so early in the morning?"

Lu Yaoyao's anger disappeared instantly when she saw the exquisite swing in the yard, and was replaced by an incredible surprise.

The swing is carefully carved from fine wood, and the ropes are replaced by soft silk ribbons. When the breeze blows, it sways gently, as if whispering.

Xie Qingchen smiled and nodded, "I remember you once said in the cold palace that you wanted a swing in the yard that could swing very high, as if it could touch the sky. I couldn't make it happen for you at that time, and later I was deeply involved in the battle for the throne and had no time to stop and do such small things. Now, I can finally make up for it."

Lu Yaoyao's eyes unconsciously became moist. She walked to the swing and gently stroked the smooth surface, with complex emotions surging in her heart.

"Xie Qingchen, you... don't have to do all this. It's not like I'll be moved and fall in love with you again." Lu Yaoyao's voice was choked with sobs.

"It's okay, I just did this to make you happy."

"Come, come and sit down and see if it fits you and whether it needs improvement."

Lu Yaoyao sat on the swing, and Xie Qingchen gently pushed it. The swing slowly rose, and Lu Yaoyao stretched out her hand, as if she could touch the sky. At this moment, all the troubles seemed to be blown away by the wind, leaving only pure happiness.

However, happy times are always short-lived.

When night fell, Lu Yaoyao once again fell into speculation about Xie Qingchen's whereabouts.

He disappeared again.

Although his explanation during the day temporarily reassured her, she vaguely felt that Xie Qingchen was hiding too many secrets that she didn't know about.

On the other side, in the East Palace, Xie Qingyu's physical condition began to deteriorate.

At first it was just occasional abdominal pain, but gradually the pain became frequent and severe.
