Ji Zeyu was dressed in a black shirt with crossed collar sleeves. His ink-black hair was tied up high behind his head and draped over his straight back. His jade-like face was expressionless and his handsome face was as cold as ice.
Li Helan looked at Ji Zeyu and her heart throbbed. She teased in a sweet voice, "Why is Prince Consort here? Could it be that you miss this consort?" She stepped forward to take Ji Zeyu's arm.
Ji Zeyu raised his arm to avoid Li Helan and sat down on the rose chair next to the window. He said in a deep voice, "When the incident happened in the palace, were you with the Empress Dowager?"
Li Helan's hand froze in midair and her face darkened. "What, did Prince Consort come here because of this?"
Ji Zeyu said, "What else could it be?"
"You!" Li Helan gritted her teeth. "Ji Lan, don't forget your status. Don't refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit! Do you think you're the only man in the world? This consort is the Eldest Princess and there are many men who flock to this consort. You're the only one who's angry at the sight of this consort. What do you want this consort to do? "
"Doesn't the Eldest Princess get to do whatever she wants?"
Li Helan's face was ashen. "You still hate me … If you don't like it, I'll just dismiss those people. You don't have to give me face all the time!"
"There's no need to force yourself. You can be with whichever man you like." Ji Zeyu's expression was indifferent. "I don't wear broken shoes."
"You! How dare you! "
Ji Zeyu ignored her. He lowered his eyes and played with the horsewhip in his hand. He said casually, "What happened in the palace that day? If you're willing to tell me, then tell me. If you don't, then I'll take my leave. "
"What kind of attitude is this!"
Ji Zeyu looked at Li Helan and simply stood up to leave.
"Stop!"
Li Helan was so angry that she stomped her feet. She strode forward and reached out to grab Ji Zeyu's sleeve.
If Ji Zeyu didn't want to, who could touch his clothes? Li Helan's hand missed again.
"Princess Royal is willing to tell me?" Ze Yu glanced sideways.
Li Helan gnashed her teeth in anger and said, "You came to ask me about something, yet your attitude is so negligent. Do you think I have to tell you?!"
The corners of Ji Zeyu's lips twitched as he stepped forward again.
Looking at his handsome back, Li Helan simply loved and hated him. They were husband and wife after all. No matter how many gigolos she had, she still had to bear children with this man.
Besides, which one of her gigolos was as handsome as Ji Zeyu? Moreover, his aura could only be possessed by someone who had been honed on the battlefield.
"Stop right there. Am I supposed to ask you to tell me?"
Ji Zeyu stopped and turned around to look at Li Helan. Then he walked back into the room and sat down on the rose robe. He didn't say a word as he waited for Li Helan to speak.
Li Helan's face was dark. She didn't want to give up the chance to interact with Ji Zeyu, so she could only tell him what had happened in the palace.
Ji Zeyu had been playing with the whip with his eyes down. It was as if he didn't take Li Helan's words to heart.
After Li Helan finished speaking, Ji Zeyu said, "She was locked up without any investigation?"
"It was clearly her. Would imperial mother wrongly accuse her?"
Ji Zeyu gave a mocking smile and said, "She was locked up by the Empress Dowager?"
Li Helan looked at Ji Zeyu's expression and felt an indescribable anger in her heart. She said with dissatisfaction, "What, why does husband care about that cheap woman?! Whether she lives or dies, what does it have to do with you?! "
Ji Zeyu didn't reply. This time, he got up and walked away. Li Helan couldn't catch up to him even if she wanted to.
"Come back! Ji Lan, come back here! "
Ji Zeyu didn't even look back, but he quickly walked away.
Li Helan clenched her fists. Her back was tense and her shoulders were tense. She gritted her teeth as she looked in the direction Ji Zeyu left. Her eyes gradually turned red.
This was her husband in law. He spoke to her with such an attitude!
She knew that Ji Zeyu cared about her gigolos. However, Ji Zeyu was so cold to her and didn't give her any face. She was the Eldest Princess. Could it be that she couldn't find her own happiness? Ji Zeyu had wronged her like this, so why should she endure it!
Ji Zeyu quickly left the Eldest Princess Residence. The attendant beside him watched the entire process and said in a low voice with worry, "Duke, will the Eldest Princess hold a grudge? What if she goes to Your Majesty to complain? Wouldn't that be bad?"
Ji Zeyu didn't care at all. He gave a cold laugh and said, "Let her do as she pleases."
The attendant knew the inside story and naturally didn't like Li Helan's fickle character. Moreover, Ji Zeyu was such an outstanding and proud person. Therefore, the attendant didn't try to persuade him anymore.
Ji Zeyu flipped onto his horse. White Cloud, whose fur was silvery white like silk, intimately galloped a few steps forward.
Ji Zeyu gently stroked White Cloud's soft mane. He lowered his eyes and thought for a moment before urging his horse to quickly leave the Eldest Princess Residence.
In a dark room in the back hall of Ci 'an Palace.
Qin Yining hugged her arms and fell into a deep sleep. It had been two days and the Empress Dowager had only sent someone to send her a bowl of porridge. She was so hungry that her vision was blurred and it was cold in the hall. She didn't have any strength in her body and she was so cold that she didn't want to move. Her head was so heavy that she just wanted to sleep.
At this time, she heard the sound of chains moving outside the door. After the sound of the door opening, a small attendant who looked to be around twelve or thirteen years old poked his head inside.
Qin Yining narrowed her eyes to look at him. She knew that he was the attendant who had been responsible for sending her food these past few days.
The little attendant looked around the room and quickly walked out. Not long after, he came back.
Seeing the bedding in his hands, Qin Yining was a bit surprised.
After the little attendant came in, he did not say anything to Qin Yining. He first went to put the bedding on the heated kang by the window and then quickly ran out. He struggled to bring in a basket of charcoal and lit a charcoal brazier. He then placed a brass kettle on the brazier and boiled some water.
After doing all of this, he finally brought in a basket from outside. There were four or five white steamed buns in the basket.
Qin Yining looked at all of this in confusion. Seeing that the little attendant was about to leave after putting down the things, Qin Yining quickly asked, "Gonggong, please wait. What are these?"
The little attendant stopped and obediently said, "I don't dare be called gonggong by the princess. This servant is just following the Empress Dowager's orders. "
Qin Yining was even more surprised. How did the Empress Dowager think it through? With the Empress Dowager's personality, she would torture her as much as she wanted before killing her. But she had waited for two days and not only had no one come to torture her, they had even brought in the bedding and charcoal brazier.
"Why would the Empress Dowager give such orders?"
"This servant doesn't know." The little attendant lowered his head and said this as if Qin Yining was a scourge. He acted spoiled and ran away.
Qin Yining was very puzzled. She stood and dragged the heavy chains to the edge of the kang. She took down the bedding and placed it in a place away from the wind and next to the charcoal brazier.
Who knew that a small blue package would fall out of the bedding.
Qin Yining quickly put down the things and picked up the package.
Inside the package was a small porcelain box and a note. The handwriting on the note was unfamiliar. It was drawn horizontally and the handwriting was hard and thin. With one look, she knew that the owner of the handwriting was arrogant and cold.
The content of the note was very simple. Other than saying that the porcelain box contained the cream for blood circulation and blood stasis, there were only four simple words — Endure and wait.
Qin Yining looked over the note in confusion. The ink and paper used were the most common and she could not find any flaws.
She could not think of anyone who had the ability to make the Empress Dowager order someone to send her something and even send the cream inside. But this way, she could live a bit more comfortably.
Qin Yining put the note into the burning charcoal brazier. She watched as the note was licked by the flames and disappeared in the blink of an eye. Only then did she feel at ease. She wrapped the blanket around her and sat next to the charcoal brazier to warm herself while applying the medicine.
