Don't disturb me, I won't be a concubine

It has been two days since Cui Qiyan came to Yingzhou. During these two days, he and Ji Bai took Yunling's portrait and looked around, but the current result is nothing.

Cui Qiyan was walking on the streets of Yingzhou, and when he thought that Lu Yunling might have passed by under his feet, he felt closer to her.

Cui Qiyan hadn't eaten anything since he came out in the morning until it was almost dinner time. He approached a noodle stall.

The stall owner greeted warmly: "What kind of noodles would you like, sir?"

Cui Qiyan turned a blind eye to the order board standing in front of him, and only carefully opened the portrait in his hand, "Have you seen this girl?"

The stall owner looked over and was interrupted before he could answer.

"Master, a message came from the mansion. The old lady is seriously ill and she wants you to go back immediately." Ji Bai left for a while and now hurried over.

Cui Qiyan turned around with a stern look in his eyes, "How did they know I was here? It was you who delivered the news behind my back."

He used an affirmative tone. He only brought Ji Bai with him this time, so the answer was obvious.

"I'm worried that something urgent happened in the capital. You missed the news outside..." Ji Bai's voice became lower and lower, "Master, what should we do now?"

Cui Qiyan stood there, his eyes full of painful struggle.

After a long time, he took the portrait back into his arms, turned around, and said, "Go back to Beijing."

Ji Bai followed him full of guilt.

The owner of the noodle stall murmured to the backs of the two of them: "The girl in the portrait seems familiar..."

Cui Qiyan and Ji Bai traveled day and night and returned to Dingguo Duke's Mansion at high speed for several days.

Outside the door, Cui Qiyan threw the horse to Ji Bai and walked straight to Shou'an Courtyard.

Without waiting for the servant to inform him, he strode into the room, "

grandmother……"

The voice stopped suddenly, and the letter said that the old lady who was seriously ill in bed was currently leaning comfortably on the warm couch and eating a bowl of bird's nest porridge.

As if she didn't expect him to come back so quickly, the old lady looked at him in surprise.

Qi's mother reacted, quickly took the bowl from the old woman's hand, and said happily as if nothing had happened, "The prince is back."

"Isn't grandma sick?"

Mother Qi glanced at the old lady who was wiping the corners of her mouth, and explained with a smile, "When I wrote the letter to the prince, the old lady was indeed very ill. Fortunately, the Duke invited the imperial doctor to come over, and the old lady is fine today."

Cui Qiyan suffered a lot along the way, thinking about Yunling while worrying about the old lady's condition. Seeing that the old lady's face didn't look sick at all at this moment, he couldn't help but suspect that this was an excuse to let him come back.

"I wonder which imperial doctor is so skilled in medicine that he can make my seriously ill grandmother recover so quickly?"

"That's the one..."

"Okay, you can't hide it from him." The old lady stopped Qi's mother from continuing to compile, and looked up at Cui Qiyan calmly, "This is the letter I asked your mother to give you. Otherwise, would you be willing to come back? ?”

In fact, Cui Qiyan didn't think that this might be a trick on him on the way back, but his grandmother was old and he didn't dare to gamble. Now that he had heard the truth with his own ears, he felt depressed and had nowhere to vent.

"Grandma shouldn't use her own safety as an excuse. Since grandma is well, my grandson will leave first." Cui Qiyan turned around without wanting to stop for a moment.

"Stop!" The old lady sat up straight and shouted to him, "Where are you going? Are you still looking for Yun Ling?"

Cui Qiyan stopped and said without looking back: "Yes, one

If I can't find her, I won't go back to Beijing for a day. "

"For a servant, you..." The old lady was so angry that she couldn't breathe while stroking her violently heaving chest.

"Old madam, please slow down." Seeing this, Qi's mother hurriedly bent down to give her some relief.

Cui Qiyan paused for a moment before lifting his legs and resolutely continuing to walk out.

But after taking a few steps, he ran into Cui Jun and the eldest lady who came after hearing the news.

"Qi Yan, you're back." The eldest lady was both happy and distressed to see him. His travel-worn appearance showed that he had rushed back in a hurry. After not seeing each other for a few days, he had lost a lot of weight.

Cui Jun noticed that the old lady's face had changed with anger, and turned to ask Cui Qiyan, "You made your grandmother angry just after you came back?"

The old lady regained her composure and raised her finger to point at Cui Qiyan, "If you want to find Yunling, you must die!"

The eldest lady was startled and walked over to help the old lady, "Mother can't say such angry words."

"Get out here!" Cui Jun glared at Cui Qiyan.

Seeing Cui Qiyan come back, the old lady felt relieved.

"The period of national mourning has passed, and it's time to go to the Qin family to propose marriage. You stay in the house and prepare to get married to Sui'er. You are not allowed to go anywhere."

"Grandma, I can't marry Miss Qin." Cui Qiyan said loudly.

The old lady pounded the warm couch, "What the hell are you talking about? You were the one who agreed to this marriage in the first place, and now you regret it as soon as you say you regret it. Where do you want Sui'er to put her face?"

"The two families have not officially discussed the marriage, so it will not affect Miss Qin's reputation. But those words are mine, and I will compensate her in other ways."

The old lady's face was livid, "Is it because of Yunling that you don't want to marry Sui'er? She is a maid, do you still want to marry her?"

become? ! "

Cui Qiyan was silent for a moment, and then said word by word: "I just want to marry her."

"Cough cough cough -" the old lady coughed in anger.

"You bastard!" Cui Jun was furious, "You don't even know who you are. It's absolutely impossible for you to marry a servant!"

"If it's because of this status, I don't want it. I'm not the only legitimate son of my father. The position of heir apparent can be given to Qi Yu..."

"Snapped--"

Cui Jun slapped Cui Qiyan in the face, "What is your position as the heir apparent? Do you give it to whoever you want? I think you have lost your mind!"

There was a deathly silence in the room.

The eldest lady walked to Cui Jun again, pulled him and persuaded him: "If you have something to say, please say it, don't do anything."

Cui Qiyan turned his face, "When my father asked me to be the crown prince, he never asked me about my wishes."

"Look what he said..." Cui Jun pointed at Cui Qiyan and said to the eldest lady.

The eldest lady said: "Qiyan, don't be angry and take ten thousand steps back. Even if you really don't want to be the heir, you are still the eldest son of me and your father, and you still can't marry a maid as your main wife. What's more, you are still the eldest son of me and your father. Yunling is gone, who are you going to marry?"

Cui Qiyan's eyes were full of pain, "I will find her."

"What if I can't find it?"

"No, I will find her even if I visit all the prefectures, counties and villages in Da Yin."

Seeing that he was so persistent, the eldest lady told the truth cruelly, "If you look for her like this, Yunling may not wait for you. Maybe she will already get married and have children before you find her."

Cui Qiyan suddenly clenched his fists, "So I can't delay any longer, I have to go find her."

"you dare--"

"old

lady! "Mother Qi exclaimed, "Old madam, please wake up——"
