Chapter 136
Your Highness's Beloved Medical-skilled Princess
Prince Wendu went to Yu Wenhuaiâs Residence with Princess Sun these days as well.
Princess Sun was gorgeous and was in good shape. When she stood beside Prince Wendu, they looked like beauty and the beast.
Princess Sun only came a few times but each time she came, she would bring many supplements which had been obviously handpicked. Because all the supplements and herbs were specialized in treating consumption.
Chu Mingcui had called on Yu Wenhuai once along with Prince Wenqing.
Yu Wenlin never let Chu Mingcui get out of her sight. Even when Chu Mingcui went into the room to see Prince Wenhuai, Yu Wenlin stared at her all the time at close range for fear that she might make trouble.
Chu Mingcui had a few words with Yuan Qingling. She was very polite. After inquiring about Prince Wenhuaiâs condition, she curtsied to thank Yuan Qingling and then left. There seemed to have been no conflict between them.
It was Yu Wenhuai whose attitude had changed dramatically.
The date speculated by the court physician on his death had passed but he was still alive and had stopped coughing up blood. He didnât cough much as before and even could get up and walk around.
Ms. Lu was the most delighted person. She almost treated Yuan Qingling as God and ordered to give Yuan Qingling whatever she wanted.
Yuan Qingling was upset this day. After injecting Prince Wenhuai, she sat in the yard alone in a trance.
She was actually not used to the situation where she and Yu Wenhao hadnât seen each other for several days. She came back to their residence every day but there was only the lonely Phoenix Mansion waiting for her. Nurse Qi always followed the rules and Lu Ya was obedient and submissive to her. Yuan Qingling couldnât even find a person to talk to, except Dooby.
She also missed the days when she and Yu Wenhao horsed around.
Yuan Qingling leaned against the fence and looked to a corner of the garden.
It was in that shadowy corner that he kissed her.
She could remember every detail on that day and it became clearer in her mind.
His lips, his callused fingers...Every image rolled in her mind.
âWhat are you doing here?â It was Prince Wendu.
Yuan Qingling raised her head and watched him come close slowly with his hands clasped behind his back, followed by a manservant. He gave her a curious look.
She pulled her attention back and said, âNothing. Iâm just sleepy.â
Prince Wendu sat down and looked at her. âIâve not seen Wenhao for a few days. Whatâs going on with you two?â
âNothing! We are fine. Why are you asking?â Yuan Qingling pretended to be surprised.
âYou caught him screwing around with prostitutes, didnât you? There are gossips everywhere. And they say you smacked those two women around a little and kicked them out of bed,â Prince Wendu said.
Yuan Qingling was shocked. After a while, she jumped up and shouted, âWho said that? Itâs not true!â
âThatâs what people out there say.â
âRidiculous!â Yuan Qingling was angry.
âThat was unbelievable! How could it be possible that I hit those women and kicked them off the bed?â When thinking like this, she felt sick. Because if it really happened, how embarrassing the situation would be!
Prince Wendu said in surprise, âIsnât it? But almost everyone says that.â
âDoes Yu Wenhao know this?â Yuan Qingling asked.
Prince Wendu snorted and said, âEven Father has heard of it and called him in to give him a reprimand.â
Yuan Qingling didnât know whether to laugh or cry.
Prince Wendu looked at her and sighed, âForget it. If youâre not happy, just have something to eat. Let me buy you a big meal some day and youâll have some fun.â
Yuan Qingling gave him a grateful look. Although Prince Wendu was a little weird, he was the most artless person. In his view, the best way to comfort someone was to treat to him a big meal. Therefore, Yuan Qingling could feel his sincerity.
âThank you.â
Prince Wendu stood up slowly and said, âYou are welcome. And it will be better if you pay the bill then.â
Yuan Qingling stared at him and said, âCome on! Iâve only just been touched.â
âThatâs not working. Iâm poor,â he said with a deep sigh, âI only get twenty pounds a month allowance.â
Then he walked away tardily with a heavy heart.
Yuan Qingling was apprehensive about the rumor and she didnât know its cause. She felt it necessary to ask Tang Yang or Xu Yi.
She was escorted back to the residence. Then she told Nurse Qi to get Xu Yi here.
Nurse Qi said, âHeâs gone.â
âTo where? Did Yu Wenhao send him out for business?â Yuan Qingling asked in surprise.
âNo. Xu Yi did something wrong. His Highness was angry and let him go.â
Yuan Qingling was astonished. âWhat did he do?â
She felt it a pity because Xu Yi was an honest man though he wasnât reliable on dealing with things.
Nurse Qi said snappishly, âHe is too immature to handle matters. Donât know where he got the lame idea to put two women in His Highnessâs bedchamber. His Highness got angry and threw them all out. When Xu Yi came back the next day, His Highness drove him away again.â
Yuan Qingling was stunned. âWhat?â
âHeâs pitiful but he deserved it. He has adhered to His Highness for so long while he didnât follow the rules. His Highness hasnât even had concubines, let alone taken in those vulgar women out there.â
Yuan Qingling sat on the chair, scratching her head and tried to recall that day when they quarreled.
âSo...he drove those women away directly? Nothing happened between them?â She was aware that she might have misjudged Yu Wenhao.
What had happened in the carriage in the garden that day was still in her mind and her repressed longing for him poured out. Right at that moment, Yuan Qingling realized that she really missed him. She rushed out like a whirlwind.
âWhere are you going, Your Highness?â Nurse Qi shouted behind.
Your Highness's Beloved Medical-skilled Princess âI have something to do. Iâm not eating,â Yuan Qingling said without looking back.
She came to Wuthering Heights. Qi Luo saw her and said, âYour Highness, His Highness Prince Wendu isnât back yet.â
âI can wait!â
Yuan Qingling sat on the stone step before the cloister in a cool breeze. She felt herself stupid. Yu Wenhao had tried to explain at that time whereas she hadnât given him a chance.
âYou can wait him inside,â Qi Luo advised.
âNo. Iâm waiting him here.â
These days, Yuan Qingling had been imagining the future of Yu Wenhao and convincing herself rationally that nothing was going to happen between them. She thought what she cared was that they had no future rather than the women.
But now it turned out to be a mistake. All her worries about their future vanished. And she knew she did care about those two women.
Yu Wenhao didnât leave the government office until 9 p.m. After expelling Xu Yi, he hadnât found a suitable bodyguard for the time being. So, he ordered a house guard to follow him on an errand.
He rode on a horse with lax reins, wandering on the street. Even if he went back early, he couldnât sleep and would be thinking about seeing Yuan Qingling. Therefore, heâd rather hang around outside for some while.
He went to meet Gu Si. Since Gu Si had taken the job of the shuttle service for Yuan Qingling, he didnât have to return to the imperial palace.
They had a drink together. Gu Si sighed deeply and groaned about being forced to get married by his family.
As a nobleman and the captain of the Imperial Guards, Gu Si was favored by many highborn ladies in the capital city. But he was just unwilling to get married because he thought it would be meaningless unless he met his Mrs. Right.
Hearing his words, Yu Wenhao sneered. âWhat kind of girl would you like to meet?â
âSomeone can make me laugh and cry, make me happy and sad, make me feel flipped and make me feel hurt.â Gu Si was a little drunk and began to tell the essence of love.
