Chapter 382.3: Strange Object, More Chaos
Fifth fuma didn’t disappoint Princess Min Xiang either, gently smiling at Princess Min Xiang as he looked towards Noble Consort Su, “Your Highness, it’s like this, actually two months ago, princess got pregnant, just at the time, before discovering, princess accidentally had a miscarriage and lost the child. Towards this matter, princess was very heartbroken, not daring to tell your Highness all this time. Speaking of which, this matter is also my fault. It was me that didn’t take care of princess well, as such, also exceptionally cowardly, not daring to ask for your Highness’s forgiveness.” As he said this, he revealed a sorrowful and guilty expression.
Upon hearing this, Princess Min Xiang also vigorously nodded, acting ‘heartbroken’ along with, appearing as if this really was the case. However, her acting skills didn’t pass, so in certain people’s eyes, it was practically just clumsy. How intelligent was Noble Consort Su, she naturally understood that there was probably another problem in this matter, but considering the current setting, she didn’t continue asking, even opening her mouth to console a few words, saying things like right now she was still young, so properly recuperate her body; she will eventually have children; in the future, be more careful, and so on.
When finally receiving news from Kunyi Palace again, it was already two hours later. Reportedly, the Empress has already woken up, and although still hazy, and somewhat unaware, but the illness this time came rather suddenly and also too aggressively, so afraid she won’t recover that quickly. Moreover, for a short period of time, it’ll be difficult to even climb down from the bed. However, fortunately, there wasn’t any worry to her life. As long as she properly recuperate, it won’t go as far as to affect her longevity. Just, it was best for her to not overly exert herself, especially during this recuperation period. The best would be to not worry about anything at all.
Learning this situation, everyone for the most part all relaxed a breath. And for Noble Consort Su and them, this kind of situation can be said to be quite beneficial. With the Empress alive, they won’t need to worry about Le Cheng Emperor trying to establish balance, and with her also lying on the bed, unable to do anything, the obstacles on Noble Consort Su’s side will reduce by a lot.
Just the cause of illness was probably still because of Kang Qinwang.
The unspoken words, everyone all knew. Le Cheng Emperor was unbearably angry, ruthlessly kicking him a few times, and then punished him to kneel.
Kang Qinwang this time was actually very obedient, lowering his head and not uttering a sound.
After confirming that the Empress can recover, Le Cheng Emperor also just left the Empress’s palace, returning to handle his own official matters. Speaking from this bit, he seemingly wasn’t considered too terrible? But who knows whether or not Le Cheng Emperor was also just putting on an act.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWith the Empress’s current situation, it truly wasn’t appropriate to disturb her. Thus, Le Cheng Emperor had the people left in the palace all sent back.
Noble Consort Su wanted to keep them in the palace for a meal. Actually, it was mainly still inquiring Li Hong Yuan’s opinion. The others, she simply didn’t need to ask, just a matter of one word from her.
Li Hong Yuan nodded in agreement, and Noble Consort Su immediately just beamed with happiness.
Seeing her reaction, Jing Wan couldn’t help but silently ridicule inside. Your Highness, you being like this, have you considered your actual son and daughter’s feelings? As expected, just like his Majesty, used to getting ‘abused’ by this son, closely following after his Majesty, also having masochist tendencies? Have to admit, this was all the living Enma’s ability. Others were unable to copy.
It was just having a meal, that’s all. Even without Li Hong Yuan present, Jing Wan was all able to eat well. With him here, it was further not having to worry about anything at all. And when speaking, she all didn’t need to be reserved and cautious, guarding against others’ traps. Li Hong Yuan’s certain attentiveness towards Jing Wan in his own manor have all become a habit. That’s why, even if somewhat restraining himself, his words and actions at certain times were still very obvious, especially when having the other two married couples as contrast. That’s why, what Jing Wan didn’t know was that she had inadvertently fed certain people a lot of dog food.
Without contrast, there was no harm, but if the contrast is too obvious, then the harm will be limitlessly big.
In the past, outsiders all rarely see them interact as husband and wife.
Rui Wangfei didn’t need to be mentioned. She and Rui Qinwang have always just treated one another as honored guest, working hard to be his virtuous inner support. Rui Qinwang taking care of her and what not, being tender and whatnot, that was practically just a joke. New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on novelenglish.net . Firᴇ
Princess Min Xiang although had her own fuma controlled in her hand, not having yiniang and tongfangs at the side, but that was strong oppression, so on the inside, there was just hatred. Princes Min Xiang never knew that this older brother even had this kind of side to him, so how can she not be envious and jealous towards Jing Wan.
Noble Consort Su was also incredibly stifled at heart, especially seeing that ‘not knowing the taste of worry’ look of Jing Wan’s, fully accepting this treatment. Clearly it was having long been accustomed, so Noble Consort Su just felt increasingly annoyed. However, she needed take her son into consideration, take her son into consideration, take her son into consideration……………..
In the end, it was understanding Li Hong Yuan’s character, unlike the Pei clan leader, thinking that Li Hong Yuan was putting on an act. This usually willful and carefree man that disdained putting on an act, why would he deliberately do this kind of thing for others to see? That’s why, this was something that couldn’t be more real.
Who could’ve thought that the usually loose and lustful Jin Qinwang that never pampered a beauty for more than seven days, no matter how beautiful, would be this meticulous and considerate to no end towards his wangfei that was not really considered a stunning beauty.
After using the afternoon meal, and after digesting the food, they prepared to take the afternoon nap. Noble Consort Su let Li Hong Yuan take Jing Wan to the side hall he formerly resided in to rest. That was the place Li Hong Yuan lived prior to seven. Noble Consort Su has continuously preserved it to this day. Of course, Rui Qinwang’s also got preserved. However, Rui Qinwang tactfully declined. He still had matters to attend to, letting Rui Wangfei take the two children to go rest. As for Princess Min Xiang, this further didn’t need to be mentioned. Because she was a girl, prior to marrying, she lived in Yucui Palace the whole time. This while, she didn’t even have herself treated as a married daughter.
Jing Wan entered the side hall. Seeing the arrangement inside, not a single one wasn’t exquisite. Moreover, there weren’t any relatively sharp objects, and the corners and edges all have gone through careful treatment.
“Her Highness really was very good to wangye.” Jing Wan said with sentiment, yet this sentiment wasn’t genuine.
The complicated feelings flashed through Li Hong Yuan’s eyes.
This place was the place he lived in before turning seven, and when he had ‘returned’, he was already ten years old, meaning that the actual time ‘front and back’ he has parted with this place added together was almost fifty years. Originally, he should’ve long forgotten, yet after entering, some things still gradually surfaced in his memories. It can be seen, just how deep that period of memory was for him, yet Su-shi ruined it. In his past life, it’s not that he never resented, just as time passed, it also just faded. However, now, he had by his side the only person he cared about.
Li Hong Yuan reached out to pulled over Jing Wan’s hand. Jing Wan at first was confused, but immediately after just started smiling, “Does wangye have any little secrets hidden here?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Even if there is, after this many years, would’ve long forgotten.”
“Can I look around and see?” Jing Wan said rather eagerly. Towards her own husband’s childhood ‘matters’, Jing Wan very much had a bit of expectation towards.
Li Hong Yuan softly smiled, “Alright.”
Afterwards, Jing Wan just happily started ‘treasure hunting’.
This side hall was big enough. Jing Wan practically spent the entire afternoon nap time ‘treasure hunting’. That said, she actually found some things. One of them was a relatively small chest that was locked. From the looks of it, it hasn’t been opened in many years. As such, this chest, even if knowing its existence, Noble Consort Su as well as the palace maids that were in charge of cleaning this side hall all might not know what was inside. Li Hong Yuan carefully contemplated. Based on that bit of blurry memory, he looked in several places, finally finding the key.
“Really can’t tell, Ah Yuan, you are even quite good at hiding things.” Jing Wan opened the chest. The things inside completely revealed.
They were all some small things. Majority were all just toys, but as one can imagine, in a child’s eye, these things were all treasures.
Li Hong Yuan for the most part all didn’t remember these things’ origins. However, there was a red fortune pouch among them that got pulled out by him.
“What’s wrong, you have an impression towards this thing?”
Li Hong Yuan shook his head, already feeling the thing inside. Opening it up, it was a piece of jade. However, the moment he saw it, Li Hong Yuan’s expression just changed.
