Dressed as the villain's stepmother

Facing the emperor, Jiang Lianzhu could only tell the truth.

But the truth was too cruel to her son Liao Xiaoping. Even if the words came to her lips, she could not say them out.

"Mom, did you see the prince after you entered the palace? Do you know how his highness is doing now?"

Liao Xiaoping was worried about the prince's health.

"I sent the wheelchair that my mother made before to the East Palace. The prince likes to go out for a walk. If he sits in the wheelchair, he should be able to get out of bed and relax."

When Jiang Lianzhu heard what Liao Xiaoping said, she reached out and stroked the child's shoulder.

"Mom has not seen the prince, but I think the prince must know your thoughts."

If you know it one day later, you will suffer the pain one day later. These days for Sanbao are too difficult, and Jiang Lianzhu doesn't want him to continue to be sad.

"Go on, change out of these clothes and wear thicker clothes. Don't freeze and catch the cold."

Liao Xiaoping temporarily put aside his worries and went back to the room to change clothes.

Liu Qingqing returned to Lihua Garden an hour later.

"Shopkeeper, when I saw you entering the palace, I wanted to go back to the hospital and take a trip home to pick up some things."

This is Lihuayuan, not Liu Qingqing's home.

Although she has no worries about eating and drinking here, it is still a bit inconvenient to obtain daily necessities.

"Thank you for taking care of me these days. Stay and have dinner with us in the evening. I will ask the people in the mansion to drive a carriage to take you back later."

"Shopkeeper, I'm not leaving..."

Liu Qingqing thought Jiang Lianzhu had misunderstood and quickly explained.

"I know it's been very hard for you to stay in Lihuayuan to take care of me these days. Now my injuries are almost healed. You can't hang around me alone this year. You still have family waiting for you. You go back for a reunion, so after dinner today, I will send someone to take you back."

Jiang Lianzhu gave everyone in the hospital and shop a holiday and asked them to go home for reunion.

Liu Qingqing has no obligation to keep guarding her.

Because Jiang Lianzhu was resolute, Liu Qingqing left after dinner.

In the past few days, Liu Qingqing had stayed in Jiang Lianzhu's room to keep her company. Now that she was gone, Jiang Lianzhu no longer had to worry about Liu Qingqing. She put out the candles early at night and sat there in the middle of the night.

Not being able to sleep has become the norm.

Jiang Lianzhu simply put on her clothes and stood up, sitting in front of the bed. The bright moonlight shone in through the window, and the room was also illuminated a lot.

She opened the window directly and stared at the moonlight in trance.

The moonlight shone on the dressing table, making the wooden box that Liao Yunchuan left for her dyed with moonlight. Jiang Lianzhu reached out and took it over, rubbed it for a while, then opened it and took out the jade pendant that was broken into several pieces.

She took out the fragments, facing the moonlight, and pieced the jade pendant fragments together piece by piece.

The jade pendant had long lost its previous blazing temperature, and its tentacles were cold, which reminded Jiang Lianzhu of the scene when she rushed into the fire.

At that time, the jade pendant was hot. The closer she got to the fire, the hotter the jade pendant became.

"Could it be that you wanted to tell me that Liao Yunchuan's life was hanging by a thread?"

Jiang Lianzhu said to herself.

She heard Liao Yunchuan mention that this jade pendant had been with him for many years. Some people said that jade can channel spirits. Maybe there was a connection between this jade and Liao Yunchuan. Otherwise, she really didn't know how to explain the situation that day. .

Jiang Lianzhu was lost in thought, and suddenly, the dark room lit up.

"Winter nights are the coldest. It snowed in Kyoto not long ago. What will happen if you catch a cold or get sick?"

"I'm not with you, and you're so careless about taking care of yourself."

Someone was holding a candle and walking slowly from behind. Jiang Lianzhu's heart skipped a beat when she heard this familiar voice.

She didn't dare to look back, worried that everything in front of her was just her fantasy.

"Lianzhu, I'm back."

Liao Yunchuan looked at Jiang Lianzhu's stiff back and knew her current mood. His eyes heated up and he walked up to Jiang Lianzhu.

"Everything you see now is not a dream, Lianzhu, I am really back."

Liao Yunchuan put down the candlestick, reached out and took Jiang Lianzhu's hand, and put it on his face. It was only then that Jiang Lianzhu came back to his senses.

"Warm."

she muttered to herself.

The face he touched with his fingertips was warm, not the cold and unrecognizable corpse placed in the six-door courtyard.

"Live, just live!"

Jiang Lianzhu kept mumbling, and then stretched out her arms to hug Liao Yunchuan, who could not sleep well day and night.

Liao Yunchuan's eyebrows moved, and he reached out to hold Jiang Lianzhu in his arms. He knew that Jiang Lianzhu had always been rational and restrained, and her current behavior was all because of him.

"I've made you and the children worried these days, Lianzhu, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hide this matter."

People in Kyoto were talking about Jiang Lianzhu acting crazy after his death. Liao Yunchuan heard it, so after all, he didn't care about anything else and went to Lihuayuan late at night to see Jiang Lianzhu.

"Liao Yunchuan, I heard from Yang Fei that you were seriously ill that day...how did you escape?"

After confirming that the person was still alive, Jiang Lianzhu had thousands of questions in her mind, but before that, she needed to confirm one thing!

Jiang Lianzhu let go of Liao Yunchuan, pulled Liao Yunchuan's wrist directly, and checked for his pulse.

"I'm fine, Lianzhu, don't worry, am I standing in front of you properly?"

Liao Yunchuan didn't want Jiang Lianzhu to worry about him.

But Jiang Lianzhu didn't believe these words at all. After checking his pulse, she even took off Liao Yunchuan's clothes. This man was always good at concealing things. It was impossible for Jiang Lianzhu to believe what Liao Yunchuan said until he saw it with his own eyes.

Liao Yunchuan knew that Jiang Lianzhu's behavior was different from that of ordinary women, so he simply stood and let Jiang Lianzhu pull off his clothes. As long as Jiang Lianzhu could feel at ease, he didn't mind these things.

Moreover, they are a couple.

Jiang Lianzhu felt that Liao Yunchuan's pulse was not strong enough and there were injuries on his body, but it was only after she saw it with her own eyes that she realized how serious Liao Yunchuan's injuries were.

There were large and small scars on the waist, abdomen, and shoulders, and one of them actually ran across the entire back.

"These injuries of yours are not healed. Did I touch them again when I hugged you just now? Does it hurt?"

Jiang Lianzhu's nose was sore and she reached out to touch Liao Yunchuan's bandaged back.

"It doesn't hurt. It's slowly healing. It's still being treated these days. Don't worry."

"Then you were so seriously injured. How did you escape from the fire on the day of the explosion?"

Jiang Lianzhu had more doubts in her heart.

"Actually, after receiving your letter, I was on guard. But then I didn't expect that they would drag so many people from the city to be buried with them just to kill me. What happened was beyond expectation. I was ejected from the fire by His Majesty's secret guards. Rescued.".
