The Tsundere System Chasing Wife

Li He stroked the strings of the zither with both hands. A melodious melody came out from his fingertips. The sad music was like an endless deep sea that made him sink. Gradually, his white fingers were stained with blood.

These days, the emperor and the empress came to persuade him one after another that life is long and short, and one should not be unwilling to move forward because of some things. They all told Li He that it was not his fault, and that he should go and explain things clearly to Qingling, and Qingling would definitely not blame him.

Li He opened his eyes, but he blamed himself... When the song ended, Li He's eyes were cold and empty, as if he had lost his soul.

As soon as the second prince entered the room, he saw that Li He's fingertips were bleeding, and he immediately asked someone to call the imperial physician to bandage Li He.

"Third brother, what are you doing?" The second prince took Li He's hand and said.

"I'm sorry, brother. I was a little absorbed in playing the piano."

"What's the point of you saying sorry to me? Li He is a man! If there is a problem, you should face it properly, instead of guarding the palace all day. Why do you have to put all the blame on yourself? Everyone is unhappy that Qingling was injured, do you think you are the only one who is unhappy? That Si Bai is so powerful that he can't be defeated, so he can't be defeated. What do you mean now? Are you trying to escape? If everyone is like you, this country would have been over long ago!"

"I'm sorry..." Li He said again. He knew his second brother said this for his own good, but... he just didn't want to let him go...

The second prince looked at Li He who was lost in thought, sighed, turned around and walked out of the Linghe Palace.

The eldest prince, the emperor, the queen, and Concubine Zhang were waiting outside the palace gate for the second prince to come out. When they saw the second prince, they hurriedly stepped forward to ask him if Li He was feeling better today, but the second prince still shook his head.

"You really should use something to knock open Third Brother's brain and see what's inside. He is so stubborn." The Second Prince looked at the Emperor and others helplessly. They had been worried about Li He these days and had not had a good rest.

"Don't be like this, second brother. Let your third brother calm down. One day he will figure it out." The eldest prince patted the second prince on the shoulder and asked him to calm down. If Li He hadn't been dealing with Si Bai during that time, who knows what the situation of Li State would be like today. Now that Qingling was injured, he knew that Li He would blame himself, but he didn't expect Li He to be so decadent. He locked himself up in Linghe Hall all day long. Except for going out once for General Lin's wedding, he never went out again and didn't eat much. Qingling has been asking people to invite Li He to Zhang's house to talk, but Li He declined all of them.

"Calm down? How long do you think he can last if he keeps calm like this? He is already injured..." The second prince became a little emotional when he said this. If he had not been controlled at that time and could have helped Li He, maybe he would not be feeling so bad now.

"Okay, stop arguing. Just come and visit him more often when you have nothing to do. He will definitely not starve to death with so many people watching over him in the palace." The emperor spoke calmly but his eyes were full of worry. He seemed to have aged a few years in these days and was worried about Li He every day.

"Your Majesty is right. When you have nothing to do, come over here more often and keep an eye on He'er. Don't let him do anything stupid. Let him calm down on his own. I hope he can think it through on his own." The queen looked towards the closed door of the Linghe Palace, and her heart was filled with worry.

"Don't worry, mother. I will come to Linghe Palace every day and take my third brother out of Linghe Palace one day." The second prince patted his chest and promised. Since Li He would not leave the palace, wouldn't it be the same if he brought Qingling in? Strike while the iron is hot. I don't believe I can't cure you.

"Second brother, I leave it to you. I'll take care of those chores first. Third brother's affairs are left to you. Don't let father and the queen down."

"Well, don't worry, big brother. I will definitely get my third brother out of the shadows as soon as possible."

After Lin Mo's wedding, it snowed heavily in Li State for several days. The whole Li State was covered with a layer of snow. Everyone in the Zhang Mansion endured the grief and concealed the news that Qingling's condition worsened.

Qingling didn't want to worry Lin Zhi and the others, but her condition kept getting worse. After Lin Mo's wedding that day, she vomited blood several times at Zhang's house. Some of them were in front of Lin Zhi and the others because she really couldn't bear it. She felt her stomach churning.

Zhang Run and Mu Qi wanted to ask a doctor to help. Even if Qingling couldn't be cured, they could at least reduce the pain. But they were stopped by Qingling. She told Zhang Run and Mu Qi that she didn't feel any pain, not at all, but her body was no longer able to bear it. Qingling hadn't eaten for two days and basically vomited everything she ate. Now her hearing and vision were fading. Sometimes Qingling couldn't even hear what Lin Zhi and the others were saying. At the beginning, she took the medicine given by Jiang Siyi. I don't know what he made it from. It was really bitter, but the pain-relieving effect was ok. Now her sense of taste has basically disappeared, and everything she eats tastes the same. Her body sometimes cramps and sometimes feels like countless needles piercing through Qingling's body. Sometimes she can't help but faint. Lin Zhi and Zhang Qingfeng will stay with her whenever they are free.

Qingling looked at the blurry figures of Lin Zhi and Zhang Qingfeng, reached out and carefully held Lin Zhi's hand.

"Mom made you worry again... It's me, I'm sorry..."

“Qingling, don’t say these things. Don’t even think about it. Just rest well and wake up. Mother will be here with you…” Lin Zhi gently touched Qingling’s little face. As usual, Lin Zhi’s palms were warm and comfortable, but Qingling’s rosy face turned pale and bloodless. Lin Zhi knew that her child would not be able to hold on… She was now trying hard to hold back the sadness in her heart… The slightly trembling body was holding back the tears…

Qingling shook her head, unable to hold back her tears. She really couldn't hold it any longer, and she called out to Zhang Qingfeng in a low voice.

"Qingfeng, mother and father are now in your care. Take good care of them. You have been very obedient. I believe in you." Qingling looked behind them and found that Muqi, who usually looked at her, was not there today, so she said again.

"Where's Muqi? Is he not here? It doesn't matter if he's not here... If I fall asleep and can't wake up later, can you give the letter I secretly wrote a few days ago to my sister-in-law, Muqi, Li He and the others..."

Some things were a bit embarrassing to say in front of him, so Qing Ling wrote three letters, one to Su Yan and the others, one to Mu Qi, and one to Li He... Although she still wanted to see Li He again... it seemed unlikely...

"Sister, I agree to whatever you say... Can you... not sleep... don't leave me..." Zhang Qingfeng looked at Qingling who was still enduring the pain, and felt particularly distressed... He didn't want Qingling to die... nor did he want her to suffer so much... Muqi, why haven't you come back yet.

Qingling wanted to say something when she felt a sweet and fishy taste in her throat again. She quickly covered her throat with her hand, trying to swallow it, but failed. A mouthful of blood directly dyed her entire palm red.

"Qingling...it's okay, don't bear it, mother is not afraid..." Lin Zhi said as she gently wiped the blood from the corner of Qingling's mouth with a handkerchief. After wiping the corner of her mouth, she began to wipe Qingling's hands.

"Mom...if there is an afterlife...I will still be the daughter of the Zhang family...okay..." Qingling said to Lin Zhi.

"okay."

The palace guard looked at the unfamiliar face and hurriedly stopped him.

"Who are you? How dare you break into the palace?"

Mu Qi didn't say anything, but threw a token to the guard. The guard looked at the token and let him go.

Feng Boyu happened to be on patrol and was a little surprised to see Mu Qi, but since they had attended General Lin's wedding together, he was familiar with each other and hurried forward to say hello.

"Muqi, what are you doing here in the palace today? Do you want me to lead the way?"

"Looking for Li He."

"?" What's going on? Miss Qingling asked Muqi to come to see the Third Prince for something. However, the Third Prince has been depressed recently, so it would be good for him to meet Miss Qingling. Wouldn't that clear up the misunderstanding? Thinking of this, Feng Boyu hurriedly walked to the front to lead the way for Muqi.
