It was already late at night when we returned to the Prince's Mansion, the sound of the carriage rolling over the stone slabs echoed in the silent street, the light rain fell continuously, and the two dim yellow lanterns at the door reflected a soft halo.

After getting out of the carriage, Ling Yu wrapped the child in his arms with a cloak, and carried him down. Ji Qing held the umbrella behind him. Ling Yu looked up at the dimly lit mansion. When he stepped into the door, he tightened his grip. Clenching her arms tightly, tears seemed to fall in her heart, as if she had just found the only peace of mind in the past four years.

The dampness and coolness of the night rain wafted into the air, a tall figure trotted into a yard, hesitated at the closed door, and then knocked on the door: "Boom...boom...boom..."

Yet there was no response from the room.

The visitor bit the bullet and shouted in a low voice: "Miss...Miss..."

The persevering call finally caused the door to open with a "bang". Before the visitor could be happy, there was a ruthless kick in an embroidered shoe on the chest.

"..."

Xiang Bing didn't want to recall the scene where Qu He, who was woken up from his dream in the middle of the night, opened the door and kicked himself flying.

Seeing that the eldest lady who had kicked herself to eliminate the noise source glanced at herself coldly, she was about to close the door and go back to sleep, ignoring the numbness of her scalp, Xiang Bing struggled to get up from the ground, rushed forward and howled: "Grandma, help me..."

In the warm pavilion, Ling Yu was carefully wiping the dirty little face of the child on the bed with a towel. Hearing the screams from the yard next door, the wiping hand stopped for a while, and then continued to scrub as if nothing had happened. After a while, a girl came from the door. Sweet voice.

"Brother Yu," the girl in pink walked in lightly like the wind, blinking her big sparkling eyes, bowed obediently, and then said dissatisfiedly, "Where did you go today, I finally came to you Once, I was almost tied back by someone, and I almost couldn't see you. Anyway, this is also the third prince's mansion in Xingnai city. There is only one third prince's mansion in the whole Yuanhe, and the guards are too useless Well, can you find some more useful guards, the ones who are as powerful as my brother Ji Qing."

After finishing speaking, his eyes twinkled towards Ji Qing who was standing beside him, and he called sweetly: "Brother Ji Qing."

Facing the girl's unabashed praise and sweet smile, Ji Qing's expressionless face seemed natural, and he nodded in return: "Miss Qu."

Seeing that he was still so polite, Qu He pouted slightly, but didn't say anything.

The "useless guard" who followed her into the room listened to Xiang Bing, and consciously stood behind the butler silently.Seeing the young lady's soft and well-behaved appearance just now, her eyes were about to pop out, and there was still a fear in her heart that she would be so weak that she would groan in the next moment.

As one of the people present at the time, Xiang Bing was terrified, and said, yes, with Missy's fighting strength, the people who came to invite her back in the afternoon were beaten to the ground, and now they are all recuperating at home.Rubbing his aching buttocks, he chose to shut up.

Ling Yu nodded lightly: "Since you're here, let's stay for a few more days. I'll send someone to Qu Mansion to upload a letter tomorrow morning, and you can stay here with peace of mind."

Qu He smiled knowingly, her elder brother Yu was indeed reliable, but right now she had to take the opportunity to discuss other matters with Ling Yu, and she was a little embarrassed in front of Ji Qing.So he tilted his head, kept blinking and winking at Ling Yu, and a pair of well-behaved almond eyes clearly wrote "I have something to say".

Receiving her gaze, although the housekeeper and Xiang Bing were both idle, Ling Yu still ordered helplessly: "Ji Qing, you go to the kitchen and watch over, and boil some hot water."

Ji Qing said hello, turned around and went to fetch hot water.

"Well, I knew Brother Yu loved me." Seeing Ji Qing go out, Qu He's eyes were crooked, and he still smiled innocently, but his eyes were clear, "Didn't you let me go out these days?" Live in vain, right?"

The person was still lying on the bed, and his intentions were straightforward. Ling Yu smiled softly, and Qu He was immediately dazed. He really liked his smile like this.

Qu He noticed the ball lying on the bed, and asked, "Is that the child?"

Ling Yu got up and moved her position, nodded.

She leaned over and touched the child's veins, rolled her eyelids again, gave a strange surprise, and asked, "Brother Yu, did you use anything for him?"

Ling Yu paused for a moment, and said, "I smelled soothing incense for him."

"Huh?" Qu He looked up at Ling Yu feeling a little surprised, but she didn't ask. She knew that Ling Yu always had his sense and reason in doing things, so she turned her head and said, "Oh, the effect of Anshenxiang is not good. For a long time, it seems that the child really fell into a coma, what a pity, I thought Xiang Bing was tired of disturbing people's dreams in the middle of the night, and wanted to find someone to collect his body."

"Do you dare to say these dire words in front of Ji Qing!" Xiang Bing roared inwardly.

Of course, Xiang Bing didn't dare to say a word. In fact, he had already lost three of his seven souls when he heard that the young lady would stay for a few more days. Hearing this, he stood by the wall with his head drooping. She didn't dare to say anything more, for fear that the sense of presence would be emphasized, and the eldest lady would think of having fun with herself in the future.

The housekeeper was rubbing the wiped veil with clean water, seeing Xiang Bing's timid look, he couldn't help but smile.

"Brother Yu, where did the child come from? It's so dirty, I'm afraid this hair has become dirty." Qu He was disgusted while applying the needle.

no answer.Qu He raised his head slightly, feeling strange, and said to himself, huh?Can't say this?Ling Yu has always done things openly, and it is rare for her to be so secretive, so she didn't continue to ask.

Xiang Bing said tremblingly at this time: "It's my distant cousin, who came to join me when the house was flooded..."

all quiet...

In the current situation, no one but Xiang Bing could do such obvious nonsense with open eyes.

Qu He rolled his eyes speechlessly, and the housekeeper also felt embarrassed, coughed lightly, and explained: "This is an external statement."

But it is not an outsider who can call Qu He here.

After a while, Ling Yu said: "I met him when I went to the Nursery Home today, and I brought him back when I saw how pitiful he was."

Take Anshenxiang with you to pick up children in the nursery?It really cannot be said in detail.Qu He twitched the corner of his mouth, and kept saying with his hands: "You look so skinny, it seems that life in a sales home is not too different from living on the streets."

Ling Yu didn't refute her, and didn't want to explain too much. At this time, the child suddenly groaned, but he still didn't wake up. Ling Yu's face was calm, but the anxiety in his eyes fell into Qu He's eyes. She hit her He yawned and said: "I'm hungry and a little frightened, I'll be fine when I wake up."

"Then when will he wake up?" The little ball under the quilt looked very pitiful, and Ling Yu's voice was a little weak amidst the sound of rain.

Qu He blinked and said: "You can feed some rice soup now, and then feed some porridge after the little fur boy wakes up. It's okay to adjust slowly."

The housekeeper immediately went out and ordered rice soup to be cooked, and Xiang Bing was afraid of Qu He and followed him out with a salivating face.Qu He took the silver needle, sat on the side and asked with his chin, "But Brother Yu, do you want to raise him?"

"Well, it's human life anyway." Gently brushing over the scar on the child's hand, the redness was not as red as before after applying the medicine, his eyes were gentle and firm.

"Oh." Qu He seldom sees him like this. His brother Yu is usually as gentle as jade, but he rarely has such peace and joy from the heart. But she is also happy when brother Yu is happy, no matter what he raises, But soon a hint of slyness flashed in her eyes and she asked, "Is there any reward for taking good care of this little fur kid?"

"..." Ling Yu was taken aback, and suddenly felt a little headache.

"One month!"

"Three days..."

"Half a month!"

"Three days..."

"Seven days!"

Ling Yu stroked his forehead and said, "Only three days."

"Okay, okay." For a few days, the girl didn't care about the setback in the bargain, her eyes narrowed, she still had that innocent look, but she wagged her successful little tail.

Ling Yu rested for less than two hours before getting up and going to the court. As the late empress' son, his status was already more noble, but his mother's family had declined. The heart of the emperor, coupled with the influence of the Qin family in the ruling and opposition parties, has a faint ambition, so he is also diligent in government affairs, so as not to fall into the public eye.When he got up, Ji Qing also wanted to follow, Ling Yu said: "Come with another boy, you don't have to follow me for these three days, just stay in the mansion and take care of Qu He."

Hearing this, Ji Qing retorted subconsciously: "This is inappropriate..."

"That's it." Ling Yu didn't say anything, but shook his head and smiled.Before leaving, she said lightly, "I think she misses you a lot."

After Ling Yu's carriage drifted away, a trace of panic flashed across Ji Qing's calm face, and he stood alone for a long time before turning and walking into the Prince's Mansion.
