As bright as a star: Madam, she is an almighty little princess

It was only on the seventh day that Ling Qi showed signs of waking up. The whole room was filled with the sound of Ling Luye calling for her mother. Ling Yu strode to the door. Just as he was about to open the door, Ling Chuan hurried from downstairs.

This is his second gaffe.

"My lord, there is news from the medical room. Madam...is awake."

Hearing this, Ling Yu's hand that was about to place it on the doorknob froze in mid-air, and his whole body tensed up for a moment.

In the quiet corridor, Ling Luye's intermittent crying and Pei Yanxing's voice calling Ling Qi faintly overflowed from the room. Ling Yu retracted his hand, turned his back to Ling Chuan, took a deep breath, slowly closed his eyes and opened them again. After a long while, he lowered his voice and said, "Are you really awake this time?"

Lingchuan has returned to his usual composure, leaned forward, and lowered his voice like Ling Yu, "Back to my lord, it's true. I woke up last night, and the doctor observed her all night. My wife's physical signs are improving significantly, and there is no The situation of falling into coma again, and..."

"Lingchuan!" With a deep voice, Lingyu's majesty that he had been hoarding for the past few days was released at this moment.

Lingchuan knew that he had committed a big taboo, so he did not dare to hesitate any more. He bowed and answered in a matter-of-fact manner, "There is a message from over there that Madam wants to see you as soon as possible."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ling Chuan heard Ling Yu's significantly heavier breathing.

There was another moment of silence, Ling Yu's hands tightened inch by inch, and his voice deepened, "Didn't you say anything else?"

Lingchuan's body was also a little stiff, and he lowered his head to cover up the disgust he felt every time he mentioned that person, "Return to the Lord, no."

The biting cold overcame the warmth in the room, and there was a sound of bones cracking in the corridor.

Ling Yu looked at the closed door and closed his eyes to cover up the complexity and hatred flowing crazily in his eyes. "Stop all sources of information in the palace. Don't let Xiao Qi know about this for the time being."

Lingchuan nodded, "Understood!"

Opening his eyes, the frightening aura on his body disappeared, and Ling Yu opened the door with a calm expression.

"Mom~ Does it hurt? Aye is scared. Mom, please get better soon."

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Ling Luye lying next to Ling Qi, holding Ling Qi's hand with tears in his eyes, expressing in a hoarse voice the uneasiness he had felt for so many days.

"Aye is not afraid, mom just took a nap." Ling Qi's voice was obviously weak. She leaned into Pei Yanxing's arms and stretched out the hand that was still injecting nutritional injections to touch Ling Luye's thinning circle. little face.

Xiao Zaizi held Ling Qi's wrist and said, "Mom is lying. Mom has been sleeping for seven days. Everyone is worried about her."

In the past seven days, although everyone was busy performing their duties, everyone could feel the depressing atmosphere. Even the strong smell of Chinese medicine brought out by walking in the air made people feel depressed.

In the bedroom, Pei Yanxing sat on the head of the bed, hugging Ling Qi from behind who had just woken up and didn't have much strength. He silently watched mother and son comfort each other.

The door was pushed open from the outside, and the three of them looked up. Ling Qi was stunned for a moment when she saw Ling Yu, and then avoided Ling Yu's sight.

Ling Yu, who was walking towards the bed, paused. Dense heartache surged over him, and his heart felt swollen and tight.

Since Ling Qi was rarely at home, Ling Yu almost never saw Ling Qi getting sick with his own eyes, and could only find out about her condition from Ling Ye's mouth.

He knew that Ling Qi was deliberately avoiding them and not letting them see her.

Ling Qi was not the only one who was injured in this injury. Ling Yu didn't feel any better than her, and she knew it.

She was using her own way to ease the guilt in Ling Yu's heart.

Of course, it's also escaping.

However, once this gap exists, no matter how hard you try to repair it in the future, the gap will always exist and will never be restored to its original appearance.

"What, you don't recognize me anymore?" Ling Yu only stopped for a moment, then walked over with a smile covering the loneliness in his eyes as if nothing happened.

Sitting on the edge of the bed, Ling Yu's warm hands covered the little face that was still colorless, "Are you surprised to see big brother?"

Ling Qi lowered her eyes, and her long eyelashes trembled slightly the moment Ling Yu's palm came over her, "Brother, why are you still here, and don't care about state affairs?"

"You stinky girl, national affairs are more important than our Xiaoqi," Ling Yu pinched his little face, which had also lost weight, and sighed softly, "I have lost weight again."

Ling Qi kept her eyes lowered, as if she didn't want Ling Yu to see her like this.

Ling Yu looked at it, added some strength with his big hands, and slightly raised his little face, "Xiao Qi, look at big brother."

Ling Yu's tone was a little more serious.

Their eyes met, Ling Yu pursed his lips, "Xiao Qi, look at me, who am I?"

The bedroom fell into silence. Pei Yanxing took out two pillows and placed them on Ling Qi's waist and back. He squeezed Ling Qi's palm and said, "I'll go to the kitchen and get you some medicinal porridge."

Standing up, Pei Yanxing picked up the dazed Ling Luye and said, "Come out of the kitchen with dad to serve porridge to mom. You should also eat some more. Xiaobai doesn't have as much breakfast as Xiaobai."

The door clicked shut.

Beside the bed, Ling Yu looked at the two faces that looked exactly the same, and then lowered his eyes without blinking.

There was silence.

I don't know how long I waited before the person on the bed slowly raised his head, looked at the dark green eyes of Ling Yu, and slowly said in his throat, "Brother."

The fingers clenched in the palm of his hand tightened for a moment, and there were indescribable emotions. Ling Yu's heart ached when he heard these two words.

His throat rolled, and the man beside the bed slowed down his voice, "Yes, it's the eldest brother, our Xiaoqi's brother."

After a pause, Ling Yu's big hand touched Ling Qi's face again, "So Wan'er, eldest brother is also worried. No matter whether you are around or not, eldest brother is always caring about you. In the future, don't avoid eldest brother on purpose anymore. Okay? Big brother is no one else."

There was even a plea in the low voice, and the bedroom fell into silence again.

Seeing the sadness in Ling Yu's eyes, Ling Qi's eyes suddenly heated up.

For a moment, the person on the bed twisted his eyes and moved his lips, "Okay."

"That's fine, what are you hiding from?" Ling Yu's tone suddenly relaxed, and he stretched out his hand to turn Ling Qi's face back, "Why are you so shy with Big Brother?"

Ling Qi's face had no expression, but her eyes were slightly red.

The next second, before the person could react, he was held into a long-lost embrace.

"Xiaoqi, my eldest brother didn't dare before, I really didn't dare. I was afraid that after saying these words, I would push you further away and make you even more unwilling to go home. My eldest brother has hidden these words for thirteen years. Today, eldest brother and You solemnly say sorry, brother, I'm sorry for our little Qi."

Beside the bed, the hands hanging on both sides of Ling Yu suddenly trembled, and Ling Qi closed her eyes.

Two arms slowly wrapped around Ling Yu's back.
