Although the Yan family and Xichuan sacrificed a lot, he also bleeded heavily.
I thought for a while and asked, "Then he—ask what we want?"
Qingchen smiled weakly: "What else can he want? The few swords hanging on his head have been sheathed. What he has to deal with is fighting outside and food, what he needs most when fighting."
"It's just this?"
Seeing that I was confused, Qingchen smiled again and shook his head and said, "Although my sister is willing to trust everyone, it is not easy to deceive you."
“What the hell is it?”
"Sister, please don't ask about this matter first, okay?"
"Why?"
"Because," he looked at me with a smile: "My sister will definitely be angry with me."
I immediately frowned: "What did you promise him?"
He looked into my eyes and said seriously: "Sister, I can rest assured that I did not give in to my sister's affairs, but I should not ask about other matters for now."
I vaguely felt that money and food were probably small things compared to this matter, so he deliberately concealed me, but I really couldn't think of any big thing that was worthy of being so cautious about him and Pei Yuanhao, and he couldn't understand the outside world.
I thought for a while, looked down at him with tired expressions, and my eyelids were drooping. I hurriedly said, "Are you tired? Lying down and rest for a while?"
"No," he reached out and grabbed my arm: "I have to get up, there is still a document to write."
"I'm so busy at this moment?" I stood up and pressed his shoulders to let him lie down: "Nothing is more important than your body. Let's rest now and wait for a better spirit before writing."
He was crushed on the bed by him, and looked at me with wide eyes for a while. His eyes were filled with joy and said with a smile: "Actually, if my sister cares about me so much, I will be enough."
"Stop talking, rest first."
"Yeah, I'm obedient."
After he finished speaking, he still opened his eyes wide, as if he was looking at me reluctantly. I thought about it and said, "I'll go out first, you'll be busy when you wake up, be obedient."
He nodded and still looked at me.
I let go of his shoulders, turned around and walked out, until I left the room, and I heard the person on the bed sigh, with an indescribable satisfaction and joy, and then, I heard him as if he had fallen asleep.
I was relieved, but I felt indescribable heavyness in my heart.
The peace talks between the Yan family and the court seemed to be over, but this is just the surface we see. It is a truth hidden under the seemingly calm water. I know nothing about it. Qingchen refused to tell me until now. I think half of it is to not worry me, and half is because he is the head of the family. Only he can bear the present and future of the Yan family and Xichuan.
I just hope that everything is worth it.
After leaving his room, I went to the Yan family to take a look. Although everyone was shocked by the illness of the head of the family yesterday, fortunately, there was Aunt Hong in charge. In addition, the other old patriarchs were very peaceful and nothing happened. Even the island in the middle of the lake was very quiet. It seemed that after the negotiations yesterday, Pei Yuanhao and his ministers had a lot of things to be re-arranged.
I didn't sleep well all night, so I took advantage of this time to go back and sleep for a while. It was already afternoon when I woke up. Susu had prepared food for me. I sat down and ate a little, and was about to go out. She hurriedly pulled me and persuaded me: "Miss hasn't eaten since last night. How can she bear it? Eat a little more."
I couldn't resist her chanting, so I could only serve another bowl of broth and drink it.
Just as I was drinking, Aunt Hong came.
When she saw me eating, she felt relieved and said, "Miss has been red in her eyes these two days. It would be good to eat more."
I asked, "Aunt Hong, why are you here?"
"I'll come over and say to the eldest lady, that girl Alan and Ye Fei are gone."
"What? When did you leave?"
“At noon.”
"Why, I left suddenly?"
"It's not a sudden. Miss Alan went to find the head of the family first. The two of them talked for a while, and then she said goodbye and left."
"Didn't I say, let Qingchen take a little longer? Why wake him up?"
Aunt Hong sighed and said, "Originally we didn't want to disturb the head of the family's rest, so when Miss Alan came over, I was outside to persuade her, but the head of the family probably heard her voice and got up and asked us to invite her in. The two of them talked about a meal in the room. After Miss Alan came out, she said goodbye and left."
"oh……"
I felt sorry for Qingchen and a little disappointed. Although I didn't treat her very well when Alan came over there, in fact, I still had some things to talk to her about Qinghan's poison, Ye Yunshuang, and Sect Master Ye, but I haven't been busy these days. When she was able to take care of her, she had already left again.
I couldn't help but sigh.
Aunt Hong said, "By the way, she even asked me to give the eldest lady a sentence."
I hurriedly raised my head: "What do you mean?"
"She said, reassure the lady."
"Don't worry, what's worry?"
"I asked her, but she didn't say anything anymore, she just said this and left."
“…”
What's going on? Alan left this sentence and left, reassuring me, but what was the least reassuring thing for me now? Isn't it just the poison in Qinghan's body, how can it be resolved? She reassuring me, was it to make me feel at ease about this matter?
How can I feel assured if his poison is not resolved?
Thinking of this, my brows were tightened. Aunt Hong looked at me and said softly: "Miss, she reassured you, why are you more worried?"
I glanced at her and sighed: "Nothing."
Aunt Hong sat next to me, looked at my frowning look and said softly: "I know what the young lady is worried about, but as the saying goes, life and death are fate and wealth are all in heaven. People like Mr. Liu - God probably have something to let him do, so why would he let him go? Since Miss Alan lets you rest assured, you can relax. The boat will naturally straighten when it reaches the bridge."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! Aunt Hong's words of persuading people are not the same as pure comfort, but they really come to my heart.
Yes, how could he just leave?
He still has a lot of things to do. He wants to see the world's stability and the people in Jiangnan live and work in peace. He even promised me that after the matter is done, he will live a happy and happy life with me. How could he leave these things behind?
But, where is he now?
I was quiet for a while before I smiled bitterly and said to Aunt Hong, "Thank you, Aunt Hong, thank you for comforting me like this."
"Why did the lady tell me this?"
As she said, she reached out to stroke a strand of hair on my cheek behind my ears and said softly: "As long as the lady is good, everything will be fine."
I felt like I was doting myself by her when I was a child. That feeling was so good.
The two of them were chatting for a while, and I remembered Qingchen again and asked, "What are Qingchen doing now? Are you resting?"
"Of course not. The head of the family refused to rest after waking up. Now he has gone to the study and said he wants to write something, but no one will let him in."
I know that I must write a document to Pei Yuanhao.
Pei Yuanhao should be writing too.
I said, "How is he doing now? Are he getting better?"
"It's better than last night, but my face is still not very good and I haven't eaten much."
"Have you taken the medicine?"
"After drinking it, Yao Lao even prescribed another prescription and said he would take a look."
The pharmacy...
When I mentioned him, my heart started to move again.
Aunt Hong looked at me with her eyes flashing and asked, "What are the eldest lady thinking?"
I looked up at her and said, "Aunt Hong, go and tell Lao Yao that he would ask him to ask Qingchen for his pulse three times a day, and let him go and guard every time he took the medicine."
"how?"
"Qingchen's body is related to the entire Yan family and the future of Xichuan. We must not be careless. We must let him take care of it in person. He himself is very clear about this."
Aunt Hong thought for a while and nodded, "I understand, I will go and say hello to him later."
"Um."

The day passed quickly. Early the next morning, I went to see Qingchen, and his face was better than before.
When I went there, the pharmacy was decorating medicine. After a while, Yao Lao was about to come over to ask for a pulse.
So, I told him both sides, turned around and left, and walked straight to the west wing.
Because I had to take care of a crazy patient and was worried that she would run out to make trouble at any time, so there were more people here. I went all the way, because I had already said hello, and no one came up to stop me. I walked to the door of Queen Yin's residence. I gently pushed the door in and saw her lying alone by the window, quietly looking at the scenery outside the window.
The window over there is facing Qianqiu Lake.
Hearing the sound of me pushing the door in, she looked back at me and immediately stood up: "Where is my son? Is he here?"
“…”
She has no impression of me now, but she has always been impressed by Qinghan. She hasn't seen her for so long and never forgets her for a moment.
I whispered, "He didn't come."
She immediately showed a disappointed expression: "Why haven't he come yet?"
"He has something important to do, but he said, let me come and visit you."
As I spoke, I walked over and gently pulled her wrist and walked to the table to sit down, because when I heard me say it was Qinghan who asked me to see her, Queen Yin was much more gentle than usual, and looked at me seriously with her eyes wide open.
I said, "He also asked me to ask you something. If you answered well, he would be able to come back to see you earlier."
