"Stop crying, okay?"
Yuan Heng gasped weakly and wanted to reach out to wipe away the tears on Chu Xin's face, but he had no strength. He really felt so tired and had no strength left.
"I have never been so disgusted with my useless body. I can't even say a complete sentence. It's really useless."
This is what Yuan Heng has always said sincerely.
"He is a useless useless person. If he were born in an ordinary family, he would probably die of illness early. He just relies on the precious medicinal materials in the medicine garden to survive.
What you said is quite interesting. It was you who comforted me just now, but now you have to do the opposite and rely on me to comfort you?
Chu Xin wiped away the tears on her face and pouted in frustration.
"Am I not telling the truth?" Yuan Heng looked at her and said again.
"So what if it's the truth? There are so many people around you who care about you? The Pure Noble truly loves you, and you and your people must also sincerely hope that your health will get better and better, but you don't Is this self-destruction worthy of their good intentions?"
Chu Xin held Yuan Heng's arm and said angrily in a low voice.
He comforted the other party countless times, but why couldn't he listen to a word he said?
"Then I will give you the words you always say. There are still people around you who care and love you. Why do you give up on yourself like this?"
Yuan Heng suddenly looked at her and smiled slightly.
"I don't need you to worry about this. Can't I feel uncomfortable myself?"
Chu Xin was so angry that she let go of Yuan Heng's hand and turned away, not wanting to talk anymore.
"Not everyone in the world is bad, and not everyone is so cold-hearted. There are always soft-hearted people."
Perhaps because of the empathy he felt at this moment, Yuan Heng finally realized the feeling of being ungrateful to the other party no matter how many times he said it.
So when Chu Xin comforts herself, does she feel this way?
…
When Chu Yi entered the palace, he said it was Xiao Zhi and locked himself in the study. No one could enter.
At this moment, she was standing outside the study door. Someone was blocking her outside, and the person blocking her was Chu Xin.
"His Highness has given instructions that no one can enter."
Chu Xin lowered her head in fear and whispered.
"I am His Majesty's wife and Princess Xiang. Can't I go in?"
Chu Yi looked at her and asked coldly.
I have been alone in my house for more than a month. Sometimes I really wonder if I still have this husband?
"His Highness said that no one can enter, not even the princess."
Chu Xin's words were a little hesitant. To be honest, she was still a little afraid of Chu Yi.
"Mrs. Chuxin, don't you know what time it is? Faye Wong went in because she had something to discuss with His Highness, not to flirt. If you are so bold and dare to stop Faye Wong, you can give it a try!"
Yuexiang couldn't bear it anymore. Why would a slave dare to be so arrogant in front of the princess? Is it just because of the face that looks similar to Chu Xin?
"Please forgive me, Princess. It's not that I dared to stop the Princess, but because His Highness really told me this, and His Highness never let me in. Let alone others?"
Chu Xin is really helpless. Why is it that at this time, the princess is still entangled here?
Unexpectedly, the next second, he received a heavy slap on his face. He covered his face and looked at Chu Yi in disbelief.
He never expected that he would be slapped by the princess at this time, nor did he expect that she would actually do something to him.
"During this period of time, you stayed in the palace and accompanied His Highness. After a long time, did you forget your identity? You are just a concubine, I am the princess, and beating you is just convenient. thing!"
Chu Yi looked at Chu Xin, smiled slightly and said, yes, this is his nature, he just likes to bully others.
She has always been like this. She has never been a gentle and kind person. She has endured this original intention for a long time. She didn't expect that she would dare to stop her at this time. She really should be taught a lesson.
And Yuexiang also felt relieved that it would be okay if she tolerated it for a while, but she was just a slave, and she really didn't deserve Faye Wong to tolerate it.
"But I stayed outside to guard. His Highness personally ordered it. His Highness also said that if the princess is not allowed in, what will happen even if the princess vents her anger on me?"
Chu Xin covered her face with tears.
I have never suffered such grievances since I followed His Highness, and the people in the palace were respectful to her when they saw her.
After receiving a slap today, I really felt that I had lost all my face, let alone being protected by so many palace servants. How could I hold my head up in front of them in the future?
"That's enough, get out of here, you don't deserve to be in front of me!"
Chu Yi didn't want to say any more and directly reached out to push Chu Xin away.
Chu Xin still wanted to stop her, but Yuexiang grabbed her hand and twisted it to the side. Chu Yi directly pushed the door open and entered.
Only her original intention was left outside the door, covering her face with a look of grievance. She was really humiliated today, and she actually underestimated this princess.
Just say how could she tolerate his existence? After waiting for so long, she finally revealed her true face, right?
"Didn't I tell you not to let anyone in?"
Seeing Chu Yi come in, Xiao Zhi's expression was pale, and there was a hint of boredom in his brows. It was obvious that he didn't want to see her at this moment.
"Sure enough, I got your order, so I dared to be so bold in my original intention, and even I dared to stop you. You have not been home for several months in the palace. Have you also forgotten that we are a natural couple?"
Chu Yi just smiled slightly. Compared with before, she was able to control her temper very well now. Even at this time, she still behaved very calmly.
If it were a normal time, he would definitely be arrogant and willful at times and make a fuss.
"Looking at you like this, could it be that you bullied her again?"
Xiao Zhi's brows furrowed even more tightly. It wasn't that he didn't understand Chu Yi's temperament, nor had he forgotten her bullying appearance in the past.
"I did slap Chuxin, so what? It's an honor for a slave to get a slap from me."
Chu Yi walked over while smiling and held Xiao Zhi's hand affectionately.
"I know why you keep a slave by your side, and I also know who you like? But it doesn't matter, I don't care about this, I can tolerate her existence, do you think I have become very generous now? What’s up?”
As Chu Yi spoke, she raised her head and looked at Xiao Zhi, eager to get a compliment from the other party.
"Now is not the time to talk about such things. You should know what is happening in the palace now. I am not in the mood to talk about it."
Xiao Zhi pushed Chu Yi away and walked to the window alone, with his back to her, not knowing what he was thinking.
"I know that the current situation in the palace is very complicated. Is Your Highness really sad when you hear the news that His Majesty is critically ill? There are no outsiders at the moment, and there is no need to pretend in front of me. Your Highness has been waiting for this day for a long time. Alright?"
Even if she was pushed away, Chu Yi didn't mind and still smiled slightly while talking.
"Actually, I should congratulate His Highness for finally getting everything he wanted, but I don't know if His Highness will recognize me as his wife by then?"
"What do you mean by this? We are husband and wife. How could I abandon you?"
Xiao Zhi turned around and looked at her, indicating something, but he understood the meaning of what he said.
"I can rest assured that."
Chu Yi smiled with satisfaction, "I think that when the news comes back to Chu State, the emperor's brother and mother will definitely send a big gift to congratulate me. At that time, it will be a great joy for both His Highness and me!"
Chu Yi smiled, very happily.
Isn't it just for everything today that I have tolerated so much?
Xiao Zhi can be allowed to have no feelings for him at all, and he can also allow so many women to exist, but he absolutely cannot allow himself to lose even the most basic status.
The Queen Mother is right. Emotions are too illusory. Only status is eternal.
So just now I was able to slap Chuxin in the face from above, while the other party could only endure it silently. This is the biggest benefit of having status.
"Now you have become very sensible. I like the way you are now."
Xiao Zhi looked at Chu Yi for a long time, then suddenly showed a rare smile, and even walked over and took the initiative to hug her and sit down.
"If you were like this from the beginning, that would be great, and we as a couple wouldn't have wasted so much time."
Xiao Zhi was quite emotional as he spoke. He had never liked a coquettish and willful woman, but only a gentle and quiet woman.
Only in this way will you feel happy in your heart.
"It's indeed my fault. It's all my fault that when I was in Chu State, my father, queen and mother pampered me too much. After you get married, you need to know how to control your temper. You shouldn't be so indulgent and willful."
Chu Yi was very ashamed, as if she was really ashamed of her past behavior.
"If only I had been more tolerant of Chu Xin, things wouldn't have gotten to this point. If he was still with you, you wouldn't have to keep a substitute, right?"
I don’t know whether this was intentional or not, Chu Yi just said it carelessly.
Xiao Zhi was silent for a while, obviously he did not expect the other party to say such things.
"Actually, you have already understood why I kept him by my side. Her appearance is indeed very similar to that of Chu Xin, but it's just the appearance, and nothing else is the same."
Xiao Zhi expressed that he was still very disappointed. Maybe there would be no people with the same temperament and personality in the world. Even if they had similar looks, it would be rare.
But considering his original intention and being obedient, it is quite good to stay by his side as a substitute.
This is already good. Sometimes having good intentions can be regarded as making up for the regrets towards Chu Xin in the past.
