What he thought she didn't want.
Pei Yanzhou had a trace of indescribable complex emotions, which disappeared so quickly that he could not even notice them.
It was dawn in a flash.
When Song Jinyin opened her eyes, there was no one around her, and the bed was cold, as if she had been away for a long time.
She turned her head and looked at the empty space.
Illness somewhat magnifies a person's fragility. Pei Yanzhou, who was so gentle yesterday, almost prevented her from regaining consciousness again.
With the familiar fragrance lingering on the tip of her nose, Song Jinyin recalled yesterday's scene.
She still remembered the scene of falling asleep holding his arm, and the close encounters that were mistaken for being half asleep were also clearly reflected in her mind.
Fortunately, she asked for grace for Xue Yu before she fell asleep completely.
If she can really leave the house in the future, it won't cost her her life.
There was movement outside the door.
Just as she was thinking, there was a knock on the wooden door, and Xueyu stepped into the house cautiously.
Song Jinyin came back to her senses and looked at her face. The original swelling had faded, leaving only some red marks and a few broken skin scars.
"Sister Jinyin!"
When Xueyu saw her waking up, she sniffed happily, then seemed to think of something, her mouth tightened, and she was ready to cry again.
"Why are you crying? Remember to apply medicine on your face and don't leave any scars. If you don't have enough money..."
"Don't worry, sister, I didn't spend any money on the medicine given by the prince."
Song Jinyin stopped talking, took a closer look at Xue Yu's face, and then felt relieved.
In the peripheral vision, there is an extremely noble gold-inlaid rosewood table, and there are several cyan porcelains placed on the wooden shelf next to it, which is simple and noble.
In the past, she had never thought that she would be able to spend the night in Pei Yan's boat house. She never imagined that she would be treated like this after walking through the gate of hell yesterday.
But this was not what she wanted originally.
After nearly losing her life several times in a row, she now not only admires her own tenacity, but also feels more and more justified that the word bad luck fell on her.
The disaster lasted for thousands of years. She was injured more and more severely each time, but she woke up faster and faster each time.
"Drink the medicine first, sister. The prince has specifically told me that sister's medicine should be taken according to the time."
"Where is the prince?"
Song Jinyin's voice was a little hoarse. She moved as she spoke and wanted to get up from the bed, but the pain forced her to frown. She didn't want to embarrass herself, so she finally gave up the struggle.
"Your Majesty, he..."
Xueyu put down the candies and cakes, and remembered the comments she heard from others when she came here just now, and hesitantly wanted to avoid the topic.
But when this look fell into Song Jinyin's eyes, she immediately saw the difficulty inside.
"What's not good to say about this?"
Song Jinyin looked at her and smiled, but she just wanted to ask if that person was in the house. If he didn't leave the house, she would lie down for another hour at most, and she would have to find a way to get back to her room.
"The Crown Prince is not in the mansion, that is, I just heard what the first two maids were saying. The Crown Prince received the message from the Xu family girl, and before daybreak, he asked Butler Wang to arrange a carriage to leave the mansion... ....”
Xueyu's voice in the room was a little nervous, and she spoke very slowly, while looking at the faces of the people in front of her.
Yesterday, my sister was brought back in her arms. She was in a coma, clutching the prince's robe tightly with her hands, just like the story about the talented man and the beautiful woman in the storybook.
But within one night, my sister was the only one left in the house.
"Oh, I see."
Song Jinyin nodded, her eyes unmoved, she just took the medicine in Xueyu's hand, and without the resistance she had when she was in unbearable pain yesterday, she drank up the bitterness in a few sips.
Xueyu was actually afraid that she would be sad.
But she has nothing to be sad about. She is more awake now, so she should be grateful.
What's more, she was supposed to last three days, but Pei Yanzhou rushed back early, which was beyond her expectation. It would be unjustifiable if the beauty was left out in the cold because of her.
Lowering her eyes to hide her thoughts, Song Jinyin curled her lips and smiled, "I've really had enough of this medicine this year."
"Sister Jinyin, actually, I think the prince has a sister in his heart..."
Unable to see her true emotions, Xueyu brought her a plate of dried fruits. Afraid that she would be unhappy, he hesitated for a moment and then said: "The prince got very angry last night. Not only did he go to Fuluyuan, he also sent me to He was so popular that he smashed everything on the floor and was still in front of the servants' room..."
As if thinking of something terrible, Xueyu swallowed, "Still in front of you, killing several people..."
Song Jinyin paused, and when she spoke again, her voice became hoarse.
"Where are the two women?"
"......Gone."
The room was quiet for a while, and Song Jinyin reached out and touched her neck.
In addition to the scratch mark, there are some places on the side that still hurt when touched.
The two women's extremely impatient attitude toward her was reflected in their actions of grabbing her neck and forcing her to raise her head.
Song Jinyin even felt for a time that if she couldn't survive the three days, half of the reason was because of the two women.
After a long time, Song Jinyin came back to her senses.
Just die, she is not kind enough to cry for the two people who bullied her.
And the old lady.
In the past, she might have wanted to leave a way out for herself, so she reminded herself at every turn not to leave anything to say in front of Fuluyuan, but now it seems that this way is dead.
They were all people who wanted her to die. Even if the old lady had been soft-hearted to her before, it was not enough for her to risk her life in return.
"Don't be afraid."
Song Jinyin came back to her senses and noticed Xue Yu's fear, so she comforted her: "Other people's affairs have nothing to do with us. We should be more careful in the house from now on. Although we don't mean to harm others, we must be careful. "
"I know, I only tell secrets to my sister."
Looking at Xue Yu, whose face was full of emotions and anger, her eyes were red one moment and she felt wronged and wanted to cry for her, but the next moment she was distracted by other things. Song Jinyin suddenly remembered her past self.
Her eyes were a little sore, and she was afraid of being seen. She lowered her eyes and looked at the mattress, waiting for the fog in her eyes to dissipate.
Butler Wang's voice came from outside, and then the door was opened, and an unfamiliar maid walked into the back room with her head lowered.
"Miss Jinyin, the three girls outside came over and said they wanted to come and have a look at you."
Song Jinyin was slightly stunned.
It wasn't because of the unfamiliar maid, but because Butler Wang wanted to let the third girl, Pei Musheng, into the back room.
"I can't get up yet, could you please ask the third girl to come in."
Pursing her thin lips, Song Jinyin responded to the visitor's words.
The maidservant lowered her head and retreated. Her body looked much taller than Xueyu's. She didn't look sideways all the way, only staring at the small area in front of her toes.
When the curtain was opened again, the third girl, Pei Musheng, took off her thin cloak and wore a pomegranate red dress with long sleeves, gold and silver painted flowers and silk, and the skirt was flying, dazzling and pretty.
The visitor didn't hide his face. He looked around Pei Yanzhou's room from the moment he entered. While nodding, he also asked someone to move a chair next to the bed.
It wasn't until there were no outsiders in the room that she pursed her lips and smiled, and said straight to the point: "My mother asked me to find a way to see you. I guess her elder brother's incident last night scared her, so she wanted me to talk to you privately. Come closer and ask a few words."
"But I was too lazy to think of a way, so I came over directly while my elder brother was away. Fortunately, Butler Wang didn't stop me."
Song Jinyin blinked and pondered the meaning of the third girl's words, then tilted her head and looked at the person with apology.
"This slave is unable to get up and salute. Don't blame me, Miss Three. However, what happened last night... actually I don't know. I even haven't figured out why Miss Three is willing to have someone deliver food to this slave."
"You don't have to figure it out."
Pei Musheng waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "I just don't want to deal with Pei Wenshu. She wants to starve you to death, so naturally I can't fulfill her wish, but..."
Pei Musheng looked at her with a smile, and then looked at the expensive wooden bed: "But you can remember it first, maybe I will ask for a favor from you in the future."
