Chapter 11 Don’t cry!
"Have you had dinner tonight?"
Xie Qinghuan helped him sit back on the bed, patiently showing concern.
Chu Hanxiao was grateful for Xie Qinghuan's indulgence towards him and responded in a rare move, nodding his head.
"Go get the medicine box."
Xie Qinghuan saw that his wound was bleeding again and wanted to bandage it again.
Just as he was about to remove the bandage, he retracted his hand.
Xie Qinghuan looked up in surprise and saw him gesturing:
【slave……】
Thinking that she didn't like him calling himself a slave, he paused and gestured:
【I dare not trouble you, young lady. 】
Xie Qinghuan did not sleep well last night and was exhausted both physically and mentally.
She sighed softly and pinched her eyebrows.
Get up.
"Then let Yuluo help you. I'm going to sleep. Just tell Yuluo if you need anything."
Then he walked back to the bedroom with heavy steps without raising his head.
Didn't look at him again.
Lying in bed, she tossed and turned.
I was obviously extremely tired, but I couldn't sleep well.
Chu Hanxiao...
Really dead?
Then why was she able to be reborn?
Her mind was a little confused.
Thinking back to his past life over and over again, he couldn't figure out why he died for her...
If I have feelings for her, then when did it start?
It is clear that they were separated at this point in time in their previous life!
After she got engaged to Chu Yongji, she never saw him again.
When they met again, he had already seized the throne by stepping on a pile of corpses.
After seizing the throne, he slaughtered most of the Chu government and the people;
Those who survived his hands were also stripped of their real power!
Even my uncle's military power was taken back...
He has completely lived up to his reputation as a "tyrant"!
Afterwards, he even ignored her engagement with Chu Yongji and forced her to marry him...
In order to protect Chu Yongji, she became the queen.
Everyone thought he would take revenge on her severely!
But he didn't.
Even though she was extremely critical of him, making things difficult for him, and even trying to assassinate him repeatedly!
He just kept silent and indulged...
But looking at Chu Hanxiao now, how could he have any affection for her?
Clearly full of disgust...
What went wrong!
Xie Qinghuan couldn't figure it out...
I always feel like I've missed some important information...
Tossed and turned and fell asleep.
I had a chaotic dream all night.
She woke up at dawn the next day.
Yutong, who was on night watch, went in to serve.
"Miss, it's still early, why don't you sleep a little longer?"
"Um... no, has my brother left the court?"
"He should be back soon."
Yutong lifted the curtain, helped her get dressed, and then knelt politely on the side.
Xie Qinghuan rubbed his temples and leaned over the dressing table to wake himself up.
Seeing this, I was a little confused.
"you……"
Upon hearing the voice, Yutong hurriedly bent down and waited for instructions.
Xie Qinghuan then remembered.
In her previous life, she hated Yutong because she was sent by her aunt, and she made things difficult for her.
She was only allowed to serve on her knees.
She slapped herself on the forehead lightly, hating herself for all the "evil things" she had done in the past!
He turned around, faced Yutong who was lying on the ground, and asked softly:
"The old lady summoned me to the Lotus Garden yesterday. Was it you who informed my aunt?"
Yutong shuddered all over, thinking that he would not be able to escape the beating today.
He swallowed nervously and answered truthfully.
"Yes……"
Xie Qinghuan twisted his feet, which had already subsided in swelling, and asked again:
"Then, I asked for Chu Hanxiao and kept him in my room... did you also tell me?"
Yutong was so frightened when he heard this that he banged his head loudly.
"I dare not! I swear that I will never do anything to harm the young lady! If I am unfaithful even once, I will be cut into pieces!"
"Oh? You're not my aunt's man?"
Xie Qinghuan asked even though he knew the answer.
Yutong raised her forehead which was covered with dust and tears glistened in her eyes.
"I was sent here by the mistress, but my indenture is in the young lady's courtyard. I am a member of the young lady's ship..."
Xie Qinghuan heard this and smiled lightly.
"In that case, you don't have to kneel down to serve me anymore..."
She remembered that Yutong died miserably in her previous life.
She discovered the affair between Chu Yongji and Xie Qingwan and risked her life to report it!
However, she was blinded by her heart and thought it was a deliberate provocation, so she was beaten to death in the courtyard...
Now that I am living my life again, I will never let her die with hatred in her heart!
When Yutong heard Xie Qinghuan's instructions, she was still a little bit unbelieving.
He raised his head and looked at her in fear, afraid that there was murderous intent hidden behind her smile.
The next moment, he would order someone to drag her out and beat her to death...
But she didn't.
Instead, he leaned over and helped her up.
"Okay, I already understood your aunt's painstaking efforts yesterday. From now on, I won't take it out on you anymore, but..."
She struck with both kindness and severity:
"You have to remember what you just said. You have to know what to say and what to keep to yourself. You have to know your limits!"
"I know! I will never leak any news about Yueqiong Garden!"
Yutong nodded timidly.
But in my heart I was thinking...
The lady has really changed!
She had noticed something when she faced Miss Shu yesterday.
Unexpectedly, the lady really changed for the better!
Great……
From now on, she no longer has to kneel down to serve...
"Okay, serve breakfast. I'll go eat with Chu Hanxiao."
"Yes……"
Xie Qinghuan adjusted her makeup in front of the bronze mirror and went out.
Yu Luo was guarding outside Chu Hanxiao's door. As soon as she saw Xie Qinghuan, she knelt on the ground with trembling legs.
Xie Qinghuan thought that she had just been promoted to the head maid and was just nervous when he saw her.
So I didn't ask any more questions.
Push the door and enter.
Seeing Chu Hanxiao leaning against the head of the bed, his face was a little pale.
She stepped forward to feel his pulse.
"Your pulse is a little irregular. Didn't you get enough rest last night?"
Chu Hanxiao always kept his eyes down and remained silent.
But today there seems to be a hint of irritability.
Xie Qinghuan was used to his questions but she would not answer and would just resolve the issue on her own.
"Let's eat first. After breakfast, I'll prescribe some medicine for you to recuperate and then you can have a good rest."
Taking the shredded pork porridge handed to her by Yutong, she signaled everyone to leave.
Only the two of them were left in the house.
She stirred the porridge to dissipate the heat, scooped up a spoonful, blew on it and fed it to him.
Chu Hanxiao, who was just depressed and irritable, suddenly had a hint of surprise in his eyes.
The unhappiness she felt for leaving him last night suddenly dissipated a little.
But I feel a little confused...
She is a lady, and she feeds him porridge personally. Is it okay for him to drink it?
But in Xie Qinghuan's eyes, this entanglement turned into hesitation.
She was a little hurt.
He withdrew his hand and lowered his eyes.
"Are you still afraid that I'll poison you?"
He drank a spoonful himself, tilted his head and smiled aggrievedly and sadly:
"No poison..."
Chu Hanxiao pursed his lips.
Seeing her forced smile, I felt overwhelmed with guilt.
Finally, she fed him again and he took it without hesitation.
Xie Qinghuan laughed, and as he laughed he felt a little sad.
Chu Hanxiao...
I seem to be able to see a little bit of your shadow in him...
fine……
fortunately!
"Is it tasty?"
Her voice was hoarse, as if she was about to cry again!
Don’t cry!
Chu Hanxiao frowned and nodded heavily holding the spoon in his mouth.
Xie Qinghuan smiled with relief, and hope rekindled in his heart.
She feels...
Chu Hanxiao is not dead!
He lives in the body of this little Chu Hanxiao!
One day, he will grow up to be like him and return to her...
"Chu Hanxiao, I have found a solution to cure your muteness! We will go find medicine tomorrow!"
