Xiangrong fell ill, rushing through the night and getting caught in the rain, she had a high fever that night, and the next day, she fell ill in bed and could not get up.
An Shi invited a doctor from Hundred Herb Hall to examine Xiangrong, the illness was a normal illness, with a doctor from Hundred Herb Hall around, An Shi was not worried.
It was just that Xuan Tianyi's side was more nervous, hearing the news here, he quickly rushed to the door, rushing to Xiangrong's bed, looking at the girl lying on the bed with a slightly red face and furrowed brows, he suddenly regretted the bad idea he thought of. If he did not claim to be ill, Xiangrong would not rush over here so quickly, right? And she would not get caught in the rain, right? He was only thinking about himself, but caused this girl to fall ill, was this not a sin?
He apologised to An Shi: "Madam, it's all my fault, I did not consider this matter properly, causing the girl to fall ill."
Because of Xiangrong, Xuan Tianyi and An Shi were considered acquaintances, but no matter how close they were, with An Shi's personality, facing a prince apologising to her so seriously, she still felt a little embarrassed. So she waved her hands, and even returned the greeting, saying: "Your Highness the Fourth Prince, please don't say this, this really hurts us mother and daughter."
But Xuan Tianyi did not think so, he really felt sorry for Xiangrong, as long as he thought of this girl falling ill because of him, the guilt in his heart could not stop. He stayed by Xiangrong's bedside and did not leave for the entire day, he did not eat either, only drinking water twice under the persuasion of the servants. Only when Xiangrong regained some energy in the evening and could sit up to speak, did he finally relax.
Facing Xuan Tianyi, Xiangrong was originally very angry, and had many complaints and lecturing words. She even thought of saying, 'You keep calling me Master, but when did I teach you to lie?' But after going through an illness, those thoughts were all gone, especially when she saw Xuan Tianyi sitting in front of her sickbed, watching over her with concern in his eyes. She suddenly thought, if she fell ill in Chun Palace, would His Highness the Seventh Prince be worried about her like this?
There was no answer to this question, because she had never fallen ill in front of the Seventh Prince. However, she had fallen into the water in front of that person. She still remembered that when she was rescued from the water, that person had supported her and wrapped a cloak around her. Now that Xuan Tianhua was protecting her, she felt moved, but thinking back to the time when Xuan Tianhua helped her, she was filled with nervousness and excitement, and even more joy.
This was the difference!
It was indeed different, Xiangrong thought, in front of the person she liked, she would be careful in everything she did, every word she said would need to be considered a few times, fearing that she would say something wrong and cause the other party to be annoyed. And when facing Xuan Tianyi, it was as though the two of them had already become a family. She did not need to have any reservations. She would say whatever she thought and do whatever she wanted. When she was happy, she could laugh without restraint. When she was unhappy, she could jump and scold people. She was in two completely different states. She couldn't tell which one she liked more.
"Do you feel better?" Xuan Tian Yi reached out to feel her forehead, and Xiang Rong subconsciously dodged back. His hand stopped in midair and did not continue. He pulled it back angrily, then smiled bitterly, saying: "I didn't think that I would cause you to fall sick, sorry, I was wrong."
This was the good thing about Xuan Tianyi, he would admit his mistakes and did not feel that he could not put down his face as a prince. In fact, he was not like this in the past. In the past, he was also a person with great ambitions, or else he would not have gotten engaged with Bu family's Bu Ni Shang, and he would not have followed Xuan Tian Ye to cause that matter of forcing the emperor to abdicate. It was just that the past was like smoke. Sometimes, the things that people felt that they could not let go for the rest of their lives would actually change in an instant. He let go of his burdens, but he did not know if there would be a day when he would be able to let go of this girl who had already entered his heart.
"If you have rested enough, then go back!" Xuan Tianyi said this against his will. Even though he was extremely unwilling, as long as he saw this girl on the sickbed, his heart ached so much that he would rather let her go back than let her stay here and suffer.
Xiangrong kept staring at Xuan Tianyi and did not say anything, but she had already guessed most of this person's thoughts.
She understood Xuan Tianyi, so much that she could almost guess what he was thinking. But so what if she understood him? She had already made her choice, had she not? Now that she was someone who had an engagement with the Seventh Prince, coming to see him, she had done her duty. From today onwards, they did not owe each other anything.
She lowered her head, feeling a little uncomfortable, but she still spoke to Xuan Tianyi: "I don't blame you for lying to me, just don't lie to me in the future. I came back to see you, we will say what we need to say, once we are done … … I will leave. Consort Yun made the decision and facilitated the marriage between His Highness the Seventh Prince and I. Around the second half of the year, she will come to the prefecture to present the betrothal gifts to my mother. "
Xuan Tianyi was a little surprised, the matters in Chun Palace had always been airtight and could not be spread. He did not have the ability to plant spies in Chun Palace and Imperial Palace Yu, so what Xiangrong said was definitely a surprise to him. He was stunned, his throat was a little dry, after a while, he still forced himself to say: "Congratulations, finally … … your dream has come true."
Xiangrong nodded, "Thank you. It was indeed a dream, from the first time I saw the Seventh Prince when I was ten years old, my heart could not be retracted. Xuan Tianyi, maybe you don't understand, maybe other people don't understand, but I know, he was the first person I liked at first sight, the first person I liked in this life, no matter what, I cannot let go. When we first met, the Feng family had already changed greatly under Second Sister's influence, the me at that time was already very different from the past. I had the guts to do some things that I did not dare to do in the past, and also had the guts to serve you, a prince, alone. But when I first met His Highness the Seventh Prince, the Feng family was at its peak, Mother and I were Feng manor's concubine and concubine's daughter, we did not have any status, we were disliked by Grandmother, suppressed by Father and bullied by our sisters. That was the darkest time in my life, it was during that period of time, His Highness the Seventh Prince gave me a lot of help, helped me, saved me and even gave me mental support. So, to me, he is different from anyone else. "
Xiangrong said these words faintly, and also thought about those things in the past, thinking about how His Highness the Seventh Prince gave her a set of luxurious clothes, thinking about how His Highness the Seventh Prince helped her when she fell into the water, thinking about how Feng manor was treated unfairly after that, the Old Madam thought about how His Highness the Seventh Prince took care of her and restrained herself. She even thought of that year when she saw Han shi appear by the lake with her clothes disheveled. Later on, if it were not for her mother bringing up his Highness the seventh prince, perhaps the people of the Feng manor would not even bother to look for her. They would only believe that she had fallen into the lake and drowned!
Thinking of this, she could not help but smile, everyone said that His Highness the Seventh Prince was a deity that descended to the mortal world and did not interact much with the human world. But between the two of them, there were actually so many things that could be recalled in the past, thinking about it now, it was all so beautiful.
She looked at Xuan Tianyi again, and for some reason, she began to talk about these things with him like a chatterbox. Starting from when the Seventh Prince and the Ninth Prince sent her Second Sister back to Feng manor together, she talked about it so happily, and it was all about the various things between her and His Highness the Seventh Prince. She even talked about how she mustered her courage to run to Chun Palace to ask for help that year, and how she felt when she entered Chun Palace for the first time.
Xuan Tianyi listened quietly, and when he reached the end, the doubts in his heart were cleared.
In the past, he did not know why Xiangrong was so infatuated with his Seventh Brother, thinking that Xiangrong was like other girls, falling for Xuan Tianhua's deity aura. Only now did he understand, there were actually so many stories between the two of them. Maybe these stories were not considered many compared to others, after all, if the roots of love were deep, there should be more interactions. But because he knew that one of the main characters was Xuan Tianhua, that prince who had never been tainted by worldly affairs, Xuan Tianyi thought, it was already enough, with so many past experiences, to his Seventh Brother, it was already enough. And in this world, other than Feng Xiangrong, there was probably no other girl who could enjoy so much care from his Seventh Brother, right?
Thinking like this, his heart was suddenly enlightened, then he laughed out loud, pointing at Xiangrong and saying: "Little girl, so you're this lucky. Do you know, just based on the things you said, it's enough to make all the girls in the world jealous. Your Second Sister married Old Ninth, the hearts of all the girls in the world have already died, if you marry Old Seventh, will all the girls in the world still be alive? "
Xiangrong was amused by him, with a "pft" sound, half of her sickly face faded away from laughing. She told Xuan Tianyi: "There will be a girl who will walk to your side."
Xuan Tianyi wanted to say that there was already someone who walked to his side, but after walking over, she left. He had tried to persuade her to stay, and used all kinds of methods, but he still could not make her stay.
"It's fine as long as you're happy." He told Xiangrong, "I won't be returning to the capital, I will stay in Ji 'an Prefecture, don't worry, I will take care of Madam An on your behalf, of course, there is no one here who will make life difficult for Madam, this is your territory. You should be together with Old Seventh properly, I look forward to your wedding. "
Xuan Tianyi knew, this time, he had really lost, there was no way to salvage the situation. If he had not heard of Xiangrong's stories, he might have wanted to fight for it again. But when he heard about those things, he knew, this girl's heart, he could not win it back. The roots of love had already been planted, even if he dug day and night, he would not be able to get rid of it. It would be better to let her be, as long as she was happy, that was the best.
Xiangrong stayed in Ji 'an Prefecture for five days, returning to the capital after five days, she had agreed with An Shi that she would return after autumn, Consort Yun would also follow along, personally sending the betrothal gifts.
An Shi did not say anything else, her daughter had already grown up, she could make her own decisions. As for the final outcome of this matter, it was better for her not to think too much about it! Whether it was good or bad, life or death, it was all Xiangrong's own choice, she had relied on the Feng family for the first half of her life, now that she was finally free, she could understand Xiangrong's feelings of wanting to make her own decisions like her Second Sister.
Xiangrong used 15 days to return to the capital, this round trip took more than a month, but she did not know, in the capital, Left Prime Minister Lu Song had already been removed from his position, no matter how much he struggled, he could not get rid of the decision made by Emperor Tianwu under the joint efforts of General Ping Nan, Xuan Tianming and Feng Yu Heng. This was also the first time Emperor Tianwu participated in court affairs after getting rid of the Gu poison, and at the same time, he made a decision — — From now on, the Dashun court would no longer establish the position of Left Prime Minister!
