"Your Highness..."

"Drink it quickly, otherwise the ginger soup will get cold and won't have any good effect..."

"Your Highness, come here, open your mouth...ah..." Yun Susu looked at the Ninth Prince coquettishly and carefully brought the spoon in her hand to his mouth.

She looked exactly like a concubine in the backyard.

Bei Chenxi sighed softly.

He just caught a cold.

Yun Susu had forced him to stay in bed for three days.

these three days.

The other party tried every method and used all kinds of medicine on him, and he was almost... turned into a medicine jar!

Bei Chenxi held her hand and stopped her from feeding her the medicine.

He pulled the corners of his lips helplessly, and said in an extremely gentle tone, "Susu, you don't need to work so hard. I'm sick, and naturally there are servants to take care of me. It's not your turn to do it yourself."

"You are the Ninth Prince's wife. You need to take care of many things in the palace. My illness is just a small matter."

"How can your Highness' illness be considered a trivial matter? No matter how big the matter in this world is, it is not as important as your Highness's matter! Susu, you can do nothing, but you must not fail to take care of the Ninth Prince! Moreover, the current emperor has also entrusted Susu with this..."

Yun Susu's eyes turned red.

Beichenxi was speechless.

This is not the first time that Yun Susu has used the current emperor to pressure him.

It won't be the last time either.

he!

very!

bother!

Noticing that Bei Chenxi was a little impatient, Yun Susu whispered, "Your Highness, you were in a coma for so long before, and I was worried every day. Now that you finally woke up, I just wish I could stay with you every day. Usually, I can be busy with the messy things in the Ninth Prince's Mansion, but now that you have caught a cold, how can I not worry and want to stay with you all the time..."

Ok.

Ok……

Ok……

Yun Susu not only used her father to pressure herself, but also held herself hostage emotionally...

Beichenxi coughed lightly a few times.

A sickly gloomy look appeared on his handsome face.

He whispered a few words of comfort to the other person.

It wasn't until a subordinate came in and whispered a few words in his ear that his expression improved a lot.

Bei Chenxi knew that Lin Xilan had accepted the gift he gave her, and he was very happy.

He nodded.

Show that you know.

The subordinates withdrew.

Bei Chenxi watched his subordinates leave, looked at the ginger soup in Yun Susu's hand, and sighed secretly.

"Does Susu know about the news that the Regent Princess fell off a cliff and was seriously injured?"

Yun Susu's body froze for a moment, and she answered after a long while, "I heard that she was seriously injured and almost died. When I first heard about it, I was also very worried about her..."

"At Nanshan Villa, I felt that she was too aggressive. She didn't need to let everyone know that she had talent..."

"If she keeps a low profile, maybe she won't be targeted..."

Yes.

It wasn't just Beichen Yuan who went to Nanshan Villa that day.

Almost half of the famous scholars and talents in the capital were there, including the Ninth Prince and her, after all, Lin Xilan was still her close friend.

Beichenze would naturally invite her!

but.

But she didn't say a word for Lin Xilan when she was being targeted.

Bei Chenxi lowered his eyes, and the scene of that day emerged in his mind.

"I thought you would go and see this close friend. After all, the person closest to you in the past was the Regent Princess. But why are you only in the side room and not next to Lin Xilan?" Bei Chenxi finally asked the question that had been weighing on his mind for days.

Yun Susu was stunned.

Then, her eyes became even redder.

She whispered, "Of course I want to go, but I am now the Ninth Prince's consort. If I stay with her all the time, I will be criticized. It will be even worse if I cause trouble for the prince."

His Royal Highness the Regent, who is with Lin Xilan, is second only to the emperor and is in a very high position.

She was just a woman who had lost her mother's family and lived in fear under the care of the Ninth Prince.

What can she do?

and so……

Yun Susu didn't want herself or her husband to be involved in Lin Xilan's affairs at all.

She wants to protect herself!

Beichen Yuan frowned, a hint of disappointment flashing in his eyes.

Although, he had already guessed why Yun Susu wanted to distance herself from Lin Xilan based on her performance in the Ninth Prince's Mansion! However, when those cold and ruthless words came out of her mouth, Bei Chenxi couldn't help but feel extremely disappointed!

Yun Susu now no longer has the courage and daring spirit of the past, nor the rebelliousness and girlish loyalty of the past... She has become a soulless young lady in the deep courtyard...

"You are Lin Xilan's best friend, and she saved me, so it would be inappropriate for the Ninth Prince's Mansion to ignore her injury. Therefore, I sent her a generous gift. Leave the ginger soup here, and I'll ask Yingtao to serve it to me. I want to take a rest, so you can go downstairs."

"Yes."

Until Yun Susu left.

There was silence in the room, and then the Ninth Prince, who was in poor health, sighed.

"It seems I chose the wrong person."

……

Now, Bei Chenxi feels a little regretful.

With the Ninth Prince's words, Yun Susu had no choice but to leave reluctantly. But when she was about to turn the corner, she saw several maids coming towards her with books in their hands.

"what is this?"

Her eyes fell on the nameless books, and she felt a little curious.

"Princess, this is what His Highness asked us to find."

A hint of sadness flashed across Yun Susu's eyes.

Beichenxi has been well-versed in the works of hundreds of scholars since she was young, and can be said to be knowledgeable about both ancient and modern times. Although she is the prime minister's legitimate daughter, she has never received any real education because of her parents' partiality.

This is also what often makes her sad.

"Is it a book that Your Highness likes to read?"

The longer she stayed with Bei Chenxi, the more she felt the gap between herself and him.

It would be nice if I could have something in common with Bei Chenxi.

however.

She had only turned a page when she heard the maid say respectfully.

"Replying to the princess, this is the poem written by the Princess Regent. Your Highness specially had it compiled into a book. I think you want to keep it as a treasure..."

Yun Susu's hands suddenly froze.

Those calm eyes suddenly widened and his face turned pale.

what?

……

"Boom!"

A bolt of lightning struck, and Lin Xilan, who was sleeping, suddenly opened his eyes.

Before she could say anything, the man behind her had already put his arms around her, hugging her tighter in the dim light.

"Fear?"

Lin Xilan frowned, "No, I've never been afraid of thunder and lightning, but the thunder in the hot summer makes me feel uneasy, as if something is going to happen."

Her intuition was usually pretty accurate.

however.

Beichen Yuan just hugged her and pressed her head into his arms.

He thought she was still in shock after being assassinated, so he gently held her hand, interlocked their fingers, and coaxed her softly -

"Don't worry, with me here, nothing bad will happen."

Also.

With her current status, nothing will happen as long as she doesn't do anything stupid.

Moreover.

After what happened last time, Beichen Yuan stayed by her side almost every night.

What bad thing could possibly happen?
