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

"like."

She took it with her bare hands and smelled the fragrance of the flowers.

Qing Changan asked, "Just now, what was Ah Ying thinking about so intently? Was there something troubling her?"

He didn't know if he was overthinking it. She concealed it very well at first, but later on - she was always a little absent-minded.

All this seemed to have happened since she knew that Xiao Chen was setting up a stall.

"No," she didn't look at the young man, but looked at the river in the suburbs. The weeds on both sides were overgrown, but it was a unique landscape. "The scenery here is quite good."

There are people fishing upstream and downstream.

Knowing that Mingzhu and Ada were following slowly from behind, Xie Ying didn't feel that uncomfortable.

However, even Qing Changan began to suspect that she had something on her mind——

Xie Ying didn't want to go on any more. She hugged the flowers and said, "The weather is a bit stuffy. I want to go back home."

Qing Changan's smile froze on his lips, "Okay." He tried his best to force a smile.

In the carriage, Mingzhu was still wondering why the eldest lady wanted to go back home so early today?

It was just past noon.

Lord Qing finally got his day off and spent all his time with the young lady, but in the end—

As usual, Qing Chang'an sent Xie Ying back to the Duke's Mansion first. When passing by the end of Xiao Chen's Chang'an Street, Xie Ying lifted the curtain of the carriage again, and sure enough, Xiao Chen was still there.

He was calculating something for a middle-aged man, looking calm and spotless.

A hint of barely perceptible jealousy flashed across Qing Chang'an's brows, and he couldn't help but think of the rumors that Ada had heard.

The peach blossom hairpin and the "only" thing between Aying and Xiao Chen forced him to take it seriously again.

"Goodbye."

Xie Ying bowed slightly and said, "Goodbye."

After watching Xie Ying return home, Qing Chang'an looked at Ada and said, "Find a chance to ask Mingzhu, Aying and Prince Chen more—"

"I have asked." After all, they were at someone's door, so Ada's voice was very low, but it was loud enough for Qing Chang'an to hear clearly, "Mingzhu said that Miss Xie wanted to marry you."

Do you want to marry him?

But he couldn't feel it.

Maybe, he was just her choice when she had no other choice?

When he looked up at this moment, he found that the clear sky had become gloomy. In the distance, dark clouds were pressing down, and there seemed to be a storm.

"Master?" Ada also sensed his master's uneasiness and could not help but remind him, "Let's go back to the mansion and talk about it."

Qing Chang'an lifted up his robe and jumped onto the carriage, while Ada drove away.

In the Duke's Mansion.

Xie Ying was feeling a little annoyed and in a bad mood. She wanted to talk to Xie Jiaojiao, but the servants told her that her mother and Xie Jiaojiao had both left the house.

My father should still be in court.

Of course, how could a girl possibly tell her father about her little thoughts?

Mingzhu obviously felt that the young lady was in a bad mood, and asked tentatively, "Young lady, what's wrong with you?"

Could it be because I saw His Royal Highness Prince Chen on the street?

Xie Ying looked at Mingzhu and said, "I feel a little confused."

"Why--chaos?"

"I--"

She couldn't say it, looking at Mingzhu. Even if this man was absolutely loyal, he would never dare to betray her, but she didn't want to say it.

Mingzhu dared to ask, "Yes, because of His Royal Highness Prince Chen?"

Xie Ying laughed. Even Mingzhu could see it. As for Qing Changan - she felt a little guilty.

She didn't know what to say except sorry.

No, she couldn't even say sorry.

"Does the eldest lady like His Royal Highness Prince Chen?" Mingzhu asked uncertainly.

She felt that her question was unnecessary and she deserved to be beaten. The eldest lady was already engaged to Lord Qing and would be getting married at the end of the year.

Saying that you like His Royal Highness Prince Chen - how bold.

"I don't know." Xie Ying said.

do not know?

"Why, how could I not know?" Mingzhu was shocked now. The eldest lady could deny it, but she shouldn't say 'I don't know.'

The eldest lady was very confused because she didn't know whether she liked His Royal Highness Prince Chen, or she was a little hesitant about whether she should marry Lord Qing?

sky--

This is a bit troublesome.

It seems that she has to be more careful when talking to Ada in the future. She must not let Ada know what the eldest lady is thinking, let alone let Lord Qing know.

How would Xie Ying know?

Maybe it was because she saw such a down-to-earth side of him, what was she expecting?

To be precise, she actually didn't know when she fell in love with Xiao Chen?

Otherwise, why would there be such a big reaction?

Thinking back on the times she and Qing Chang'an met again and again, it seemed as natural as if they were old friends.

How could it be possible to have a blushing heartbeat and fluttering heartbeats as described in the book?

No, she had felt very anxious before, but it was because of Xiao Chen.

After her mother and Xie Jiaojiao returned home, Xie Ying's mood had calmed down a lot. She felt that she shouldn't tell her mother and others about the things she hadn't figured out yet.

At night, she admired the moon through the window.

The starry sky was as messy as her mood.

Mingzhu served her flower tea. Seeing that the young lady had been quiet for such a long time, she hesitated for a few times and finally persuaded her, "Young lady, it's getting late. You should settle down earlier."

Xie Ying sighed, "Okay."

After washing.

Lying on the bed, Xie Ying tossed and turned again. In his mind, he saw the scene of him at the end of Chang'an Street, pure and yet connected with the mortal world.

Not only that, she also remembered clearly the day on the island in the middle of the lake when he made tea with his own hands and even handed her the teacup. She also remembered clearly the scene of him holding her in his arms, flying across the lake, and then walking all the way back to the Imperial Observatory.

He said that she was a person with a special fate, so she was able to enter the Imperial Observatory.

But why is her fate so special?

No!

She sat up and secretly decided to go to the end of Chang'an Street again tomorrow. If he was still there, she would go and ask him!

Having made up his mind, Xie Ying finally lay down. He should be able to fall asleep this time, right?

Morning arrived as promised.

After Xie Ying washed up and had breakfast with his family, he asked Xie Zheng to drive the carriage to the end of Chang'an Street.

"Miss, it's too early. His Royal Highness Prince Chen hasn't arrived yet." Mingzhu reminded.

"I know."

If she had known earlier, she should have waited a little longer at home. After looking around, she finally found a teahouse and sat down to wait.

Someone hid in the alley for a while, and when he saw Xie Ying and others enter the teahouse, he left quietly.

Then, the man headed straight towards the imperial city.

When he entered the post station outside the imperial city, he found Ada and reported truthfully that Xie Ying had left the house today and stayed in the teahouse at the end of Chang'an Street.

Ada opened his mouth and looked at the man, "Keep watching." Sure enough, what the master was worried about was probably true.

"Yes." The man responded and retreated.

Ada looked towards the imperial city. His master was still in the court. If he knew the news after leaving the court, he would...

I wonder if he will be very anxious.

Anyway, he is already getting anxious now.

----

Xie Ying drank two cups of tea. The sky became increasingly gloomy and gradually it began to drizzle.

Mingzhu said: "It's raining. In this weather, His Royal Highness Prince Chen will not come."
