The daughter of the Marquis is too delicate, the abstinent prince pinches her waist and loves her

Chapter 13 Yun Qing is not dead

The sky outside the window was turning pale, and birds were singing sweetly among the branches.

When I opened the door, I heard two maids chatting: "I heard that the young master of Zhenbei Marquis's mansion has a worse leg disease. This morning, the Marquis paid a lot of money to find a famous doctor. If he can cure the young master, the reward is 10,000 taels."

"Ten thousand taels! The Marquis really spent a lot of money."

"Isn't it? He is the only son of the Marquis. If he can't be cured, he won't be able to become the crown prince in the future, nor can he inherit the Marquis' title."

"That child is so miserable. I heard that the disease is really not for human beings. He is so young and suffers all day long. It's really pitiful."

Yun Qing frowned. Sheng Yi was her blood cousin and the nephew her father had always been looking forward to meeting. Yet, he was suffering such torment.

"I heard that the prince is going to the Zhenbei Marquis's Mansion today. When the time comes, ask Zhuque, who is accompanying the prince, about the child's condition."

Chaohui Palace.

"Your Majesty, you asked me to find out about Miss Yunqing, and I have a clue."

"Speak." Ye Jinchen, dressed in a gorgeous black robe with dark patterns, sat on the throne, holding up the teacup and sipping tea leisurely.

"Miss Yunqing and Miss Su came to the capital from other places half a year ago. I sent people to search along the way and found some clues in the suburbs of Beijing."

"I heard from the villagers at the foot of Longyin Mountain that these two girls came down from Longyin Mountain half a year ago, dressed in Taoist nun's clothes. Because of their beautiful faces, the villagers were quite impressed. After looking at their portraits, they said that Miss Yunqing had cured the old man in their family."

"Longyin Mountain?" Ye Jinchen raised his beautiful long eyebrows and said, "Isn't that the Taoist temple of the Qingxu Sect?"

Pei Xuan nodded and said, "Your Highness is right. Taoist Yunsheng of the Qingxu Sect is very famous and has a deep understanding of Taoism, but he has a strange personality and few people have seen what he looks like."

Ye Jinchen placed the teacup on the table. It seemed that Yun Qing was the successor of Taoist Yun Sheng.

"My Lord, Miss Yunqing seems to have some connection with the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion."

"Oh?"

"The prince asked his subordinates to investigate the purpose of Miss Yunqing's visit to the capital. After several searches, the spies found that Miss Yunqing and Miss Su, in addition to seeing patients at Sanshengtang, also went to the gate of Zhenbei Marquis's mansion to wait and see. This morning, I heard that Zhenbei Marquis said that Miss Yunqing slandered Miss Sheng and had some conflicts outside the gate of Sanshengtang."

Ye Jinchen narrowed her eyes slightly. Is she related to Sheng Jintang?
"Speaking of the Zhenbei Marquis' Mansion... Your Majesty, aren't we going to the mansion today? Perhaps we can ask the Zhenbei Marquis directly?"

Ye Jinchen turned the ring on his thumb with his fingertips and said, "Hold on."

Yun Qing hurried to the Chaohui Palace and saw Ye Jinchen heading towards the main gate. He trotted over to stop him and said, "Ye Jinchen, wait a minute."

Ye Jinchen raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's the matter?"

Yun Qing took a few breaths, raised his hand and pulled his sleeve, saying, "You want to go to the Marquis' Mansion? Take me with you."

Hearing this, Ye Jinchen's eyes flashed with an elusive deep meaning. He raised the corners of his lips slightly and said, "Okay."

Upon hearing that Ye Jinchen was coming to the Marquis' Mansion, Sheng Jintang dressed up with a shy smile on her face.

Zhixing walked into the room quickly and opened the bead curtain. Sheng Jintang was hesitantly choosing a pearl hairpin in front of the dressing table. He saw Zhixing's figure in the bronze mirror, holding two pearl hairpins on his head and comparing them, and said, "Zhixing, which one do you think looks better on me?"

Zhi Xing's face looked very ugly. She swallowed and said, "Miss, Yun Qing...is not dead."

"Pah." Both pearl hairpins fell to the ground. Sheng Jintang's breathing was unstable, and her delicate makeup powder covered her increasingly pale face. She stood up suddenly, turned around and glared at Zhi Xing, saying: "Didn't you say she was dead?" Zhi Xing lowered her head, her expression solemn, and said: "She somehow came back to life, and..."

Sheng Jintang walked quickly to her, grabbed her collar, and sweat broke out on his forehead: "And what?"

"She... came here with King Ye."

Hearing this, Sheng Jintang's breathing stopped, and his heart seemed to stop beating. He suddenly felt dizzy and almost fainted.

She took a few steps back, leaned against the dressing table, and said, "She's not dead, and she's still with King Ye?"

Zhi Xing nodded and said, "That day, Sansheng Hall closed its doors and Yun Qing was no longer seen. I guess he went to Prince Ye's Mansion."

Sheng Jintang's body couldn't stop trembling, and he said, "Zhi Xing...what should I do...what should I do!"

"Miss," Zhi Xing looked embarrassed and turned away, "Excuse me, Yun Qing's strength is above mine, you have to be prepared to deal with him."

Sheng Jintang gritted his teeth, raised his hand and slapped her, saying, "Waste!"

If Zhi Xing is unreliable at the moment, she can only count on Sheng Yukun.

After so many years of relationship, Sheng Yukun would not easily believe a single word from that strange girl.

Zhixing covered her face, lowered her head, bit her lips tightly, and said nothing.

On the bluestone road, an exquisite and luxurious carriage passed by, with four sleek brown-red horses neatly lined up in a row, and delicate patterns carved out of rosewood.

Inside the carriage, there was a tea table in the middle, surrounded by three soft couches. The carriage was moving steadily, and the tea on the table never swayed.

Ye Jinchen looked at Yun Qing who was sitting opposite him, eating the pastries on the plate with relish, without any intention of being polite.

He rested his hand on the coffee table, tapped the surface with his fingertips, and said, "I heard that the Marquis of Zhenbei smashed your clinic."

Yun Qing snorted and said, "You think it's too much, don't you? You are really indiscriminate and have been blinded by lard!"

Ye Jinchen picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip of tea, and said, "Are you going to seek revenge?"

Yun Qing folded his hands on the coffee table, supporting his chin with an unfathomable smile on his face: "If I go to seek revenge, would you be afraid?"

Ye Jinchen raised his eyebrows: "What are you afraid of?"

Yun Qing turned her lively eyes and said playfully, "You scared your fiancée."

Ye Jinchen frowned: "The marriage has not been decided yet, don't talk nonsense."

Hearing this, Yun Qing moved to his side, raised her hand and poked his arm, saying, "Hey, if you haven't been engaged yet, just reject the marriage this time. I'm telling you, Sheng Jintang is not a good person, don't be fooled by her appearance."

Speaking of Sheng Jintang, after he confirmed that she was not his childhood playmate, he no longer had any feelings for her. He went to the mansion today with the intention of rejecting the engagement.

But then again, after she mentioned it like that, if he went along with her wishes, wouldn't he be very embarrassed?
Seeing Yun Qing approaching, he smelled the sweet fragrance of a young girl. His breathing stagnated, and he moved his body to keep some distance. He frowned and said, "Whether the king refuses to kiss or not is none of your business."
