Princess Xiangsi - Chapter 179
After Qingyun successfully brought back the silver powder, Hongxiu immediately began to decoct the medicine. After drinking it, Lige's face gradually became less pale and he was in less pain. Then Hongxiu told Qingyun that as long as the dregs were decocted five or six times, Lige would wake up in a few days.
After Situ Xingyun discovered that Shuangdie had poisoned him, he was furious. However, when he remembered that she was the only princess of Fengxi, he had no choice but to suppress his anger. He only demoted her from Consort to Consort Die and confined her to the Die Palace. Crown Prince Xi'er was taken care of by Yu Wuxia.
Despite her reluctance, Shuangdie had no choice but to swallow her anger and obey the emperor's command.
Prince Ande's Mansion.
Li Ge's complexion has improved a lot recently; it's no longer as pale as before and has gradually become rosy. On the contrary, Qing Yun looks increasingly haggard.
After Li Ge took the medicine for the first day, her condition improved slightly, and Qing Yun asked Situ Xingyun if Li Ge could return to the Prince of Ande's residence. Situ Xingyun looked at Qing Yun with a complicated expression, but he still agreed.
After Li Ge was sent back to the Prince of Ande's residence, Qing Yun went there every day to take care of her, leaving early and returning late, which greatly displeased Situ Xingyun. However, Situ Xingyun thought for a moment and remembered that Situ Xingzhi was his younger brother, and after all, they were blood relatives, so he found it difficult to be angry.
"Princess, it's time for lunch." Today, Qingyi accompanied Qingyun to the Pingyan Prince's residence to urge Qingyun to eat. The princess had barely eaten anything these past few days, which had made her look haggard.
"Leave it there! I'll eat it later." Qingyun didn't even lift her eyelids; she kept looking at Lige.
"Princess, please eat something! Otherwise, if you collapse when Young Master Li Ge wakes up, he will be very worried," Qingyi said anxiously.
"I'll eat later," Qingyun said as if she hadn't heard. "Qingyi, go check if the medicine is ready."
Qingyi had no choice but to stomp her foot and obey orders to go to the kitchen.
Qingyun looked at the unconscious Lige. She felt as if her heart was being torn apart. Putting herself in his shoes, how much pain must Lige have felt when he learned that she had fallen off the Cliff of Bones?
"Li Ge, when will you wake up? I miss your soft 'woman' so much..."
"Princess, the medicine is ready."
"Okay, you can leave now! And close the door behind you." Qingyun instructed after taking the medicine from Qingyi's hand.
After Qingyi closed the door, Qingyun first put a mouthful of medicine in her mouth, then she pressed her lips to Lige's and slowly put it in.
One bite... two bites... three bites...
The medicine was bitter, but my heart was even more bitter.
Li Ge's lips were cold, unlike their usual warmth.
If she hadn't agreed to Shuangdie's request that day, if she hadn't gone to the Butterfly Palace with Lige that night, if she had drunk Shuangdie's wine that night, then...
But there are no "what ifs" in this world...
"Plop—" A tear fell onto Li Ge's face. The icy tear slid down Li Ge's face and into his collar.
Qingyun pressed her lips to Lige's, the medicine on her lips was more bitter than bitter melon, and tears fell like broken beads, pattering incessantly.
Suddenly, she felt a warm sensation on her back. She abruptly opened her eyes and was greeted by those brown eyes she had longed for.
"woman……"
“Farewell Song…” Qingyun was overjoyed, and tears fell even more profusely.
I'm sorry to have worried you.
"Li Ge." Qingyun hugged Li Ge's neck tightly. "You have to make it up to me! I've been worried about you for three days!"
"Okay." Li Ge hugged Qing Yun back, her voice gentle.
"You can't faint anymore."
"...Okay." This doesn't seem to be something he can control!
"I need to take better care of myself in the future."
"Okay." He felt that the man already cared about him a lot.
"Stay away from Shuangdie from now on!"
"Okay." He tried to avoid contact.
Suddenly, Qingyun bit Lige's neck very hard.
Li Ge winced in pain. "Woman, why did you bite me?"
"I'm afraid you'll faint again."
Hearing the panic in her voice, Li Ge felt a sharp pain in his heart, as if someone had grabbed at it. His fainting spell must have terrified her.
He tightened his grip on her arm and said softly, "Woman, I will keep my promise to you."
Qingyun finally felt relieved. She remained nestled against Lige's neck, greedily inhaling the faint pear blossom scent that belonged only to Lige.
Just then, a woman in green suddenly burst in, "Princess..."
Seeing Qingyun and Lige embracing each other, Qingyi stopped talking abruptly. But when she saw Lige open her eyes, her eyes welled up with tears of emotion.
"Young Master Li Ge, you're finally awake. If you hadn't woken up, the princess would have collapsed. She hasn't eaten properly for days."
"Qingyi, get out," Qingyun called out in displeasure.
"Alright. Young Master Li Ge, remember to make sure the princess has a meal!" Before leaving, Qingyi said reluctantly.
"Woman..." came the slightly angry voice.
Qingyun buried her face in Lige's neck guiltily, unwilling to get up.
"Get up now."
