Chapter 107 Coax her, open your heart
Mu Lianzhi casually picked up a silk flower from the box, and before she could react, it was taken away from her. Then, the pink and white silk flower was directly inserted into her hair.
Beitang Yi also lifted the lid of the wooden box so that she could see the effect on her temples through the bronze mirror inside.
Today, she casually gathered her hair on top of her head into a loose bun. She didn't like the way it was loose, so she used the wooden pearl hairpin she often wore to fix it. It looked frizzy and not very good-looking.
At this moment, this small dot is the finishing touch, adding a bit of lazy beauty.
"You have a sharp eye! These cicada wing flowers are mostly used by the royal court. They are difficult to make and easy to damage. They are worth a fortune."
This thing is really hard to handle.
He hugged her from behind, Beitang Yi curled his head around her neck, his voice becoming a little softer:
"I saw that you seemed to like these light ornaments, so I found some for you."
Of course, I don’t want to benefit others with this favor.
"From now on, no matter what others can give you, I can give you."
He turned her body around, took her hand and played with it for a while, then Beitang Yi gently kissed the back of her hand:
"Everyone here is my trusted confidant. From now on, you are the master here, Zhizhi. You are free and don't have to hide."
"Whenever you want to see me or come over, tell Leng Yu and ask her to disguise herself as you. Then, even if something happens, it won't be too late to just shout."
"I've wronged you."
Given their identities and current situation, this is all he can do for now.
He stroked her smooth hand with his fingertips, and thinking of something, Beitang Yi took out a stack of banknotes and handed it to her:
"Your elder brother offered it as a sacrifice..."
He didn't want to mention Ling Yuchi, but thinking about her money-loving nature, she might be happier seeing the money, so Beitang Yi took out all the banknotes he had received during the day.
Nearly fifty thousand taels.
It was originally just the compensation she wanted.
Beitang Yi was carefully choosing his words, thinking about how to make her completely forget about this article, when he noticed that her eyes were dazed and her gaze seemed a little slanted.
Following her line of sight, he saw a wooden lunch box on the small table. The lid of the box was open, and various fruits were placed inside.
Just when he was about to ask her if she wanted to eat it, Beitang Yi noticed the golden hand-painted pattern on the box. It was a dragon totem with four rounded corners. The seal of the Prince's Mansion was on the lower right corner, and there was a handwritten word "Hua" in the circle on the upper left corner.
Moreover, it was obviously added later.
Is this the box that the Crown Princess gave him as a Mid-Autumn Festival gift?
Damn!
How come he hadn't noticed before?
The same goes for the kitchen. Why did they move this in and use it to hold fruit?
Beitang Yi was almost furious.
Seeing Mu Lianzhi pursing her lips, her little mouth was about to pout in displeasure, without thinking too much, Beitang Yi put his arms around her waist and hugged her tightly:
"Don't think too much about it. It's a Mid-Autumn Festival gift sent by the Ministry of Rites on behalf of the Crown Prince's Mansion. Maybe they kept it and used it because they thought the box looked good."
Fearing that she would break up with him again out of anger, Beitang Yi no longer had time to think:
"I didn't release Ling Yuchi for the Crown Princess."
Sure enough, when this was mentioned, Mu Lianzhi suddenly raised her eyes and looked at him.
With a sigh, Beitang Yi could only say:
"I knew you would mind this."
"Zhizhi, I didn't release him early because of the Crown Princess's plea. I haven't forgotten what I promised you, but I really didn't know that it would hurt you. I don't know how to tell you the reason, but I think you understand... I have always been afraid of the emperor, and I released him only because of this."
"In fact, I can't do whatever I want anytime and anywhere."
Otherwise, he wanted to keep her by his side forever.
Suddenly, Beitang Yi was also shocked by his own thoughts. He paused for a moment before continuing:
"Just like the last time I went to the Marquis' Mansion and saw you being bullied, I really wanted to take you away immediately, but in fact, I even had to consider protecting you. I was afraid that if I couldn't always be by your side, I would only bring you trouble in the end."
"I was careless this time."
"From now on, I will remember every word you say and take it extremely seriously."
Caressing her still thin face lovingly, Beitang Yi truly regretted his decision:
"Can this article be revealed?"
If possible, he wanted to erase it completely. He wanted the girl with stars in her eyes, light in her eyes, and him in her eyes.
When their eyes met, Mu Lianzhi vaguely understood something. However, looking at her stunning beauty, Beitang Yi's mind went blank again. He felt that he could never get enough of looking at her beauty:
"Zhizhi~"
He leaned against her forehead and instinctively wanted to do something. At this moment, the maid's voice came from outside the door:
"Sir, Lord Si Chao is here."
Suddenly coming back to his senses, Beitang Yi remembered the purpose of pulling her over, and immediately let go of her a little:
"Bring him here."
After giving the order, he stroked Mu Lianzhi's hair again:
"Si Chao is a pretty good doctor. You saw him at the last state banquet. I specially called him over to check your body again."
As he spoke, he pointed to the bed on the other side:
"Go over there."
Beitang Yi had just helped her lie down when Si Chao came in with a medicine box:
"grown ups--"
"Hmm~"
After pulling the quilt up for her and making sure it was okay, Beitang Yi turned around:
"come on."
Like Yingfeng, he kept his eyes half down as much as possible. Si Chao stepped forward and saluted Mu Lianzhi carefully:
"Ma'am, don't be nervous."
Afterwards, he sat down beside the bed and felt her pulse under someone's gaze. He changed hands twice in succession. The more he felt the pulse, the more puzzled Si Chao became. He unconsciously raised his eyes and looked at her:
"Are you feeling unwell?"
When he said this, Beitang Yi became anxious:
"Can you do it or not?"
Turning his head, Si Chao gave him a cold face for once:
"You'd better get out! In this way, I know if her imbalanced heart rate is due to you or the disease?"
Beitang Yi choked and blushed for the first time. He turned his back and did not leave, but sat down at a table in the distance.
Mu Lianzhi didn't really feel anything, so she just told the truth:
"I'm not feeling unwell, I just had a fever for a few days and felt a little weak and sleepy. Is there something wrong?"
Shaking his head, he asked her how often she took blood from her heart, and watched her wound recover from a distance before Si Chao stood up.
"Don't worry, there's nothing wrong. It's just that the recovery is... a little fast."
It's only been a few days, and he can't be diagnosed with blood deficiency? And his wounds seem to heal faster than normal people.
Si Chao was actually quite puzzled.
This should be a chronic disease. Normally, it would take several months to recover from blood loss. Even if she took blood-replenishing pills as meals every day, she shouldn't have recovered so quickly. Besides, the medicine cannot be taken every day.
What's going on?
If she had this recovery speed, why did she faint from blood loss at the last state banquet?
Abnormal must have monsters!
Si Chao was a little confused, because he couldn't explain it -
