Princess Xiangsi - Chapter 160
"Sometimes you feel lonely in the Valley of Absolute Dust, so I wanted to find an animal to keep you company. In the end, I accidentally saved a thousand-year-old spirit bird."
Thinking of the spirit bird in the Valley of Absolute Dust, Qingyun couldn't help but chuckle.
Seeing that Qingyun's attention had been completely diverted, Li Ge's lips also curled up slightly.
Suddenly, Li Ge remembered what Qingyun had said in court, and a gentle light flashed in his eyes, "Woman, when did we pledge our lives to each other? And even swear an oath to heaven?"
Qingyun blushed and looked a little shy. She buried her head on his shoulder and hesitated for a long time before answering, "After writing a lot of books, the lines just come out naturally."
"Hehe..." Li Ge chuckled softly, his eyes filled with tender light. Feeling the softness beside him, Li Ge felt as if a feather had gently brushed against his heart, and his expression softened considerably.
At this moment, Qingyun looked up and saw Lige's face full of tenderness.
Qingyun's heart stirred, and she said softly, "Lige, I'll sing you a song..."
"Um."
The cool, warm autumn air gently caressed me, silently watching the shimmering light and the few red leaves fluttering in the evening breeze, making my body and mind feel soft and relaxed.
Half-drunk and half-awake, recognizing a thousand smiling eyes, I felt as if snowflakes were drifting from the clouds, gently kissing my face with icy purity, bringing forth wave after wave of tender affection.
How many times can love remain in this world to welcome the myriad changes of life, to do joyful things with lovers, without asking whether it is a calamity or a blessing?
Like a willow branch, like a spring breeze, accompanying you through spring, letting you bury yourself in the misty waves, releasing the passion in your heart, embracing the gentle spring rain...
Qingyun's soft singing voice echoed in the damp prison cell, and the whole world seemed to fall silent as time flowed slowly with the song.
Night, Weiyang.
The entire palace was enveloped in the stillness of the deep night.
The Heavenly Prison.
Sensing the unusual behavior of the person beside her, Li Ge opened her eyes.
Qingyun's face had an unnatural blush, her forehead was burning hot, but her body felt like it was in a cold pool of ice water.
Li Ge was startled and reached out to touch Qing Yun's forehead. His expression immediately changed drastically.
At this moment, Qingyun's forehead was burning hot.
Li Ge couldn't help but panic. He didn't have any medicine with him at the moment.
Feeling her icy body, Li Ge hugged her tightly, burying her in his arms, and placed his other hand on her back, channeling warm internal energy into her.
However, these measures only raised Qingyun's body temperature.
“Farewell Song…” Qingyun’s voice suddenly rang out softly.
Li Ge was startled and looked at Qing Yun, noticing that her eyes were still closed, but she was softly murmuring, "Li Ge..."
Li Ge couldn't help but feel remorseful. He shouldn't have given her that herb yesterday!
Just then, a soft female voice rang out from outside the prison.
"This is an imperial edict."
"...Your Majesty, please come in."
Yu Wuxia hurriedly walked in. At this moment, Yu Wuxia's face was slightly pale, and her lips were slightly purple from the cold weather.
After the guards in the imperial prison led Yu Wuxia to Qingyun and Lige's cell, they quietly withdrew.
Since Situ Xingyun issued his order, fewer and fewer people in the palace pleaded for Qingyun and Lige. Shuangdie could only watch anxiously from the sidelines, unable to think of any solutions. Situ Xingyun also decreed that no one was allowed to visit the prison without his written order. Yu Wuxia grew anxious as well. Before Qingyun stormed into the hall, she had instructed Yu Wuxia that if she and Lige were imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison, she must find a way to get in. Then Qingyun would teach her how to persuade Situ Xingyun to release them.
However, Situ Xingyun was unusually stubborn, which made Yu Wuxia anxious like an ant on a hot pan.
Today was Yu Wuxia's turn to serve the emperor. After Wuxia pleaded with him, Situ Xingyun reluctantly agreed to give her the imperial edict. After Situ Xingyun fell asleep, Wuxia got up and hurriedly went to the prison alone.
"Sister Qingyun..." Wuxia called out, raising the palace lantern in her hand.
Upon hearing the noise outside, Li Ge released Qingyun and took off his outer robe to cover her. Then he stood up and walked towards the prison cell door.
The dim yellow palace lanterns shone on Li Ge's fair face, allowing Yu Wuxia to see clearly for the first time the person her sister Qingyun loved.
He was exceptionally handsome, one in a hundred, and looked like a celestial being.
Yu Wuxia couldn't help but admire him in her heart: What an immortal man! He's even more outstanding than Cousin Wuhen. No wonder Sister Qingyun didn't fall for him.
"She has a fever." Li Ge frowned, her eyes filled with unconcealed worry.
Wu Xiao was startled and quickly said, "Ah? I'll go and call the imperial physician."
Li Ge shook her head. "As long as she stays in this damp cell, her illness will never get better. What she needs now is a warm quilt, hot soup, and the right medicine."
Wuxia was also in a dilemma. "But the Emperor refuses to release her." Wuxia's eyes suddenly dimmed. "After the Emperor found out that Sister Qingyun was pregnant, he became so cold that it was heartbreaking. I believe that Your Highness also knows how important Sister Qingyun is to the Emperor, and how terrible his mood will be when he knows that the woman he loves is pregnant with another man's child."
Looking at Yu Wuxia, Li Ge immediately realized that Qingyun was absolutely right. Yu Wuxia was indeed a kind woman.
"Before Sister Qingyun stormed into the court, she instructed me that if you were imprisoned, I should find a way to get in as well. Then Sister Qingyun would tell me how to get the Emperor to release you. But now..."
Yu Wuxia looked at Qingyun, whose face was flushed with worry.
Li Ge's eyes flickered slightly, and she guessed what Qing Yun was thinking. She probably intended to exploit Situ Xingyun's feelings after falling into the icy valley and then being suddenly pulled to heaven, as well as his doting affection for her!
"Your Highness, come here. I'll tell you the method..." Li Ge whispered in Yu Wuxia's ear.
Yu Wuxia was initially shocked, then her face lit up with joy, and her eyes shone brightly.
