Tragic death on wedding night, replacement doctor concubine reborn to kill the whole family

"This is my portrait, which was lost yesterday." Xie Ying exclaimed, it turned out that she and Chujiu were overthinking it.

Old Man Ding shook his head and waved his hands, "No, no."

"Ok?"

"This is what I stole from Chen'er yesterday after spending so much time and effort on it."

"what?"

Xie Ying was even more shocked. "You, are you saying that you got this portrait from His Royal Highness Prince Chen?"

"That's right." Old Man Ding saw some affection from Xie Ying's reaction and continued, "Little girl, do you know why he only left your portrait?"

Xie Ying didn’t know, “It’s definitely not because he likes me.” She was very sure of this.

Because when they were together, he always kept a certain distance from her.

Old Man Ding did not object.

After all, the current Xiao Chen really does not have any romantic feelings for Xie Ying. As for why he left behind Xie Ying's portrait, only Xiao Chen himself knows the answer.

Xie Ying refolded the portrait and returned it to Old Man Ding. Old Man Ding took it and said, "Chen'er has been practicing since he was born. He has seen all kinds of human life wherever he goes. He is not as easily moved as an ordinary young man."

Xie Ying didn't say anything, she had thought so too. She looked at Old Man Ding: So, how can this true love continue?

"That depends on you, little girl."

"I?"

"Well, it depends on you." Old Man Ding, "This is the only true love in your life."

The only true love in this life?

It sounds a bit ridiculous.

"Until you make up your mind, the old man suggests that you don't meet him for now."

Xie Ying took a deep breath.

With Master Ding's interference, she really felt that her excuse was lame.

I also feel that I don’t have that much determination.

The only thing that made her feel uneasy was that Master Ding said that Xiao Chen was her only true love in this life.

Doesn't this mean that she won't be happy if she marries anyone else except Xiao Chen?

Ate a dessert.

Xie Ying stood up and said, "Thank you Master Ding for your advice. I will think about it carefully."

"It's easy for a girl to pursue a boy. Besides, Chen'er has a kind personality and is not as cold as he looks." said Old Man Ding.

He has watched the children grow up, and no one knows the kindness in the hearts of them better than Changkong and Yu Shiqi.

"At least, he won't make you look bad."

Xie Ying bowed to Old Man Ding and then left the Imperial Observatory.

Looking at the girl's figure, Old Man Ding smiled bitterly for a moment. He was not exaggerating, but the girl had not yet realized that the husband she wanted in this life was someone like Xiao Chen.

Below ordinary.

There are very few men who can stay with one person for their entire life.

What's more, it is even more difficult to find a family background and status that matches that of Duke Xie's Mansion.

"Master Ding."

Xiao Chen's cold voice was heard. He had calculated that Xie Ying would enter the palace and come to the Imperial Observatory today.

But he didn't expect that he would be intercepted by Old Man Ding halfway.

Old Man Ding looked at Xiao Chen, who was dressed in white and fluttering sleeves, and said, "What's the tone of your voice? Are you angry?"

Xiao Chen smiled slightly, "No."

"Then why are you so stern?"

Xiao Chen smiled slightly, "I have always been like this, but Master Ding clearly advised me to let everything go with the flow, and I just wanted to let it go, but you stopped me."

Old Man Ding smiled and said, "Everything in this world is not what you want it to be."

Xiao Chen said nothing.

Old Man Ding handed the portrait back to Xiao Chen and said, "I stole it yesterday."

What a good steal.

Only now did he realize that the portrait had been taken away by Master Ding.

There was an unnatural blush on her face.

Old man Ding smiled and saw through everything but didn't say anything. Xiao Chen was so cooperative and even seemed to be eager to follow Xie Ying in and out of the Imperial Observatory. His only purpose was to quickly end this worldly relationship.

He wanted to cut off his worldly ties and devote himself to cultivating the Tao.

But he didn't know that the girl had already fallen in love with him. How could he easily withdraw from her?

If it were so easy to get over a deep love, a person like Rong Xun would never be able to get over it in this life - no, in both of his lives.

"Chen'er." Old Man Ding stood up and put his hand on his strong shoulder. "If you are eager to end this earthly relationship, you are not following the law of nature."

Xiao Chen opened his mouth, he couldn't hide anything from Master Ding.

Old man Ding sighed. He didn’t know if one day he would still be as calm and composed as he was today, even when facing Xie Ying’s tearful eyes.

“Don’t do this just to get it over with—” Old Man Ding smiled and let go of his shoulders. “The old man is going back.”

Xiao Chen watched him leave.

Looking at the folded portrait in his hand again, he opened it. The girl had bright eyes and a heart-warming smile on her face.

What Master Ding said was, don't do it just to get rid of worldly ties.

It’s not that he did it just for the sake of regret, but his heart was just so calm, without the indescribable feeling of a man and a woman in love.

----

Mingzhu saw the eldest lady walking out of the Imperial Observatory and immediately walked over to her, "Eldest lady," what happened?

Xie Ying smiled slightly and said nothing.

She even looked back at the Imperial Observatory, her eyes fixed on the top nine floors, the Xuanming Tower.

Her only true love - Xiao Chen.

If it wasn't for her elder brother, why would she care so much?

"Miss, are we going to meet the eldest master?" Mingzhu asked.

Xie Ying shook her head, "No, let's go back home."

"Go back home?"

"Ah."

Mingzhu didn't dare to say much. She felt that something was wrong with the eldest lady after she came out of the Imperial Observatory.

But I can’t tell.

After Xie Ying left the palace, Xie Yunchu got the news. He looked at Chujiu and asked, "She went directly to the Imperial Observatory after entering the palace, but didn't come to the Jinrong Palace?"

Chujiu bowed his head and said, "Yes."

"Why doesn't she come to Jinrong Palace?"

The ninth day of the lunar month: "..."

It must be because of what he said to the eldest lady yesterday.

Chujiu was still a little afraid that his master would ask questions, but he had already thought it through and decided to ask the emperor instead.

"Hey, master, where are you going?" Chujiu lowered his head, and seeing Xie Yunchu striding away, he hurriedly chased after him.

"Leave the palace."

"What are you doing out of the palace?"

Xie Yunchu asked: "What are you doing in the palace?"

Chujiu: “…” Not waiting for the emperor?

For example, accompanying the emperor for lunch, and then having a secret affair in the imperial study or something like that.

After leaving the palace.

Xie Yunchu first went to the shop under his name to check it out and reconcile the accounts with the shopkeeper. He was busy until noon before returning to Duke Xie's Mansion.

"Big brother……"

Xie Jiaojiao was very surprised to see Xie Yunchu, "You're back."

"I can't come back?"

"You've married the emperor, I didn't think it would be so easy to leave the palace."

Xie Yunchu: “…”

He wanted to say something, but felt that there was nothing to explain. The fact was that he had entered the palace and, in principle, should not have left the palace at will.

But because of A Yao's favor, he is very free.

Ou Yurong slapped Xie Jiaojiao and said, "How dare you talk like that." Her eldest son was equivalent to a son-in-law who lived with the family. Fortunately, he was a son-in-law of the royal family, which was also an honor.
