Chapter 31 He Was not in Imperial Palace
Yu Wenhao picked up his chopsticks and started to have the dishes which was already cold. He raised
his head and took a glance at her, "Do you want to fight? Fight after we finish the meal, alright?"
Knowing that she misunderstood him, Yuan Qingling felt a little embarrassed. She put on the hairpin
and sat down.
As she was very hungry, she gobbled the food and soon finished.
But Yu Wenhao, by contrast, ate slowly. His expression was as gloomy as he used to be, except a hint
of calmness which made people feel that a hidden storm was around the corner.
After Yuan Qingling finished the meal, she took an injection and had medicine behind the screen.
The silk folding screen was transparent, so Yu Wenhao could see what she was doing.
He stared at her. In the past few days, things had gone beyond his control. Everything was different
because of her sudden change.
He was again besieged in troubles.
This wasn't a good sign. But if his grandfather could recover, it would be accepted.
He could wait until he went back to the mansion to slowly investigate the changes of Yuan Qingling.
She was nothing to be afraid of.
After the injection, Yuan Qingling put the medicine into her mouth and swallowed with cold water.
Yu Wenhao looked up at her and said, "Go back and stay. Don't ask anything and don't defend
anything for yourself. I’m going to leave."
Yuan Qingling felt very worried about the sudden change in his attitude, and thought he would do
something bad to her.
"I help you to bandage your wound." Yuan Qingling thought of his bad behaviors, and that he would not
be so kind.
Yu Wenhao shook his head, stood up, and turned to leave.
Yuan Qingling looked at his back and felt strange. He could leave without eating this meal.
Moreover, just now she bullied Chu Mingcui who was his lover. How could he let it go so easily?
Thinking of the moment Yu Wenhao wanted to slap her, Yuan Qingling was filled with horror.
Yu Wenhao's shadow was pulled very long by the setting sun. After he went out the arched door, his
shadow disappeared in an instant, leaving no trace.
A strange feeling slowly rose in Yuan Qingling's heart.
It was an ominous feeling.
When she returned to the Qinkun Palace, Retired Emperor and Lucky were still asleep. She sat beside
them. Servant Chang stood in front of the bed and glance at her occasionally.
The next day, Lucky became much more energetic.
As Lucky was better, Retired Emperor was in a good mood. His condition also got better.
After nine o'clock in the morning, Emperor Mingyuan came to greet Retired Emperor first, followed by
Prince Rui, Queen Chu, Queen Mother and other princes. The Qinkun Palace had been not quiet this
morning.
However, Retired Emperor didn't say much, and other princes came in and kowtowed before leaving.
Chu Mingcui and Prince Wenqing also came. Chu Mingcui's eyes were red. Prince Wenqing loved her
very much and always held her hand.
When Chu Mingcui entered Qinkun Palace, she glanced at Yuan Qingling.
At this time, Yuan Qingling has disinfected Lucky's wound, while she said, "Lucky, if you see the people
who hurt you, you must bite her."
Yu Wenqing glared at Yuan Qingling, and thought why she was so hateful? Yu Wenhao should teach
her a lesson.
After Yu Wenqing and his wife left, Retired Emperor looked at Yuan Qingling and said, "Can't you shut
up?
Yuan Qingling wiped his hands and said, "Yes, I will remember your words."
"Are you aggrieved? I'm doing it for your own good!" Retired Emperor snorted, "Don't you know your
ability? Think twice before you speak."
Yuan Qingling was stunned for a moment and said sincerely, "Yes, I understand."
She had nothing to rely on, and should not make enemies easily.
Retired Emperor patted the bedside, "Come here to kneel!"
There was a soft cushion on the bedside, which was convenient for Yuan Qingling to kneel down.
Retired Emperor knew she was injured and could not sit. It was the most comfortable for her to kneel.
Retired Emperor asked servant Chang to prepare a cushion.
Yuan Qingling had taken care of Retired Emperor for three days, and knew Retired Emperor well. He
would teach her a lesson if he felt better, and did not accept any objections or suggestions.
He scolded Yuan Qingling.
"Are you resentful because I ask you to tolerate it?" Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
Yuan Qingling shook her head, "I didn't think so."
"You did think so. You are resentful. You think it's unfair, and you have to say it out loud and can't
compromise."
Yuan Qingling shook her head, "I really don't think so."
Retired Emperor knocked on the edge of the bed and said, "Are you embarrassed? Everyone will think
the same. When I was young, I also thought the same. I understood the truth after I was in countless
trouble. When you have power, you can say anything unfair, but if you don't have, you have to do
whatever you don't want to do."
"...Yes!" Yuan Qingling lowered her head, looking as if she was obedient.
"Are you still not obedient?" Retired Emperor raised his eyebrows.
Yuan Qingling raised her head without any resistance in her eyes. She was as docile and obedient as a
rabbit. How could Retired Emperor see that she was not obedient?
"I am very obedient!" As she spoke, she glanced outside, and did not find Yu Wenhao. She didn't want
him to come at all.
Seeing Yuan Qingling was absent-minded, Retired Emperor was unhappy, "If you don't listen to me,
you will have trouble."
Good point! Retired Emperor was of literary talent!
The imperial physician personally came in with the medicine. Yuan Qingling heaved a sigh of relief and
said with great enthusiasm, "Let me do it!"
The imperial physician said respectfully, "Thank you."
Retired Emperor's face darkened when he saw Yuan Qingling walking toward him with the medicine.
Retired Emperor felt that her retribution came so quickly.
Servant Chang held candy to wait beside. When Retired Emperor finished the medicine, servant Chang
immediately handed candy over, and was worried about Retired Emperor.
"I want to be sick for you."
If someone else said this, it would be too flattering. However, servant Chang said with full of concern.
"You are not qualified." While Retired Emperor took the candy, he mumbled.
Servant Chang looked at him with a smile and did not answer.
Yuan Qingling gave Lucky some water. Lucky was weak. After taking two sips, he lay down again.
Yuan Qingling stroked him.
The sun came in from outside. Everything seemed to be quiet and good.
A young eunuch entered and said softly, "Retired Emperor, Prince Wenjun is waiting outside."
Retired Emperor hid all his anger and calmly said, "Come!"
As soon as Prince Wenjun entered the palace, he respectfully went forward to kneel down, "How are
you? Grandpa."
Retired Emperor lay in bed sickly. He glanced at the Prince Wenjun and squeezed out a hoarse 'hmm'
sound, which meat Retired Emperor already responded him.
Yuan Qingling watched Retired Emperor's changeable expression on his face, and thought he was like
a film actor!
Prince Wenjun took two steps forward, "Do you feel better today,grandpa?"
"It's much better!" Although Retired Emperor said so, he truly didn't feel any good from his voice and
expression.
"If grandfather is in good health, we all feel happy." Prince Wenjun looked very grateful.
After saying that, Prince Wenjun stood up and left.
Before leaving, he glanced at Yuan Qingling strangely.
Yuan Qingling felt terrible.
