"Oh, I have a headache, Mei Shu, go and ask the house doctor!" Jiang Xiuli felt a splitting headache as soon as she woke up, she sat up and called her maid Mei Shu. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Niangniang, you can wake up!" Mei Shu heard the shout and hurriedly ran to Jiang Xiuli's side to serve.

Jiang Xiuli was about to speak again, but she heard the sound of the door being pushed open violently, and she looked at it and saw that it was Ye Su who came in. Ye Su came to her side and checked her pulse.

"Mei Shu, you go down first!" Jiang Xiuli ordered Mei Shu to get out of the house.

"The effect of the medicine has passed, you are fine!" Ye Su said softly to Jiang Xiuli after checking the pulse.

"Where's the prince, is the prince okay?" Jiang Xiuli asked anxiously.

"Don't worry! The prince is very good!" Ye Su's heart felt as if he had been pricked by a needle.

"Then where is the prince, why don't you come to see me?" Jiang Xiuli was a little lost in her heart, when she was vulnerable, she always hoped that her beloved could be by her side, but at this moment, Dongfang Xun was not by her side.

"The Empress Dowager's birthday is approaching, and the prince is responsible for the safety of the imperial capital, but I am afraid that there is no free time in the past few days. Dongfang Xun is indeed very busy, but Ye Su said that he was busy at this time, and most of the ingredients were to comfort Jiang Xiuli.

"The Empress Dowager?!Oh!By the way, what about Mei Shu?Mei Shu!" Hearing the words of the Empress Dowager, Jiang Xiuli remembered that it was time to come to the palace today to pass on the Empress Dowager's decree. She fell asleep for so long, and she didn't know if Yi Zhi had arrived, so she hurriedly asked Mei Shu to ask.

"Niangniang, what's wrong?" Mei Shu had been guarding outside the house, and when she heard her master's call, she came in in response.

"Ye Su retires!" Jiang Xiuli was fine, and Ye Su exited the house with interest.

"Hmm!" Jiang Xiuli anxiously asked about the Empress Dowager's decree, and responded perfunctorily.

"Mei Shu, has the Empress Dowager arrived?" Compared with Yu Yesu's coldness, she asked Mei Shu very eagerly.

"Back to Niangniang, not yet! But I'm afraid it's coming soon. Mei Shu replied.

"Hurry up and help the concubine make up!" Jiang Xiuli said busily, and the master and servant got busy.

Ye Su walked out of the door, only to feel empty in his heart, he had this feeling of loss countless times, but he had never felt as vulnerable and powerless as today. He knows Dongfang Xun very well, and knows that Dongfang Xun has no love for Jiang Xiuli at all, so he has been waiting, waiting for one day Jiang Xiuli can give up Dongfang Xun, he has always held such hopes, and has never given up, even if it is an injury like now, he has been holding back, because he believes that one day Jiang Xiuli will change his mind. He had never even doubted his feelings for Jiang Xiuli, and today he felt that his heart was lost. He always thought that he had grown up enough to protect her, and he could even give his life for her, but after last night, he realized that even if he gave his life, he might not be able to protect her.

He raised his head and looked at the sky, the sun was dazzling, and he subconsciously blocked it with his hand, it was such a small action that reminded him of the year he and her first met. He was nine years old, and she was twelve, and he was naughty, like a little ghost crawling out of the mud, and she was already out like a peony flower in a garden. The sun was as dazzling as it is today, and he still remembers that because he had a quarrel with his eldest brother, he accidentally injured his eldest brother, and his father punished him to kneel in the courtyard of the garden to repent, and he remembered that his father told him when he could get up if he admitted his mistake, but he did not think that he was wrong.

Under the scorching sun, it was really torture for a child who was only nine years old, his sweat was dripping like soybeans, the clothes on his chest were soaked, and his knees were numb, but he gritted his teeth and said nothing. He just felt that the sun above his head seemed to be covered by dark clouds, so he looked up at the sky, only to realize that it was not dark clouds that covered the sun, but a pair of immature little hands.

Although he was only nine years old, he also knew that the world was hot and cold, and all the best in the family were given to his eldest brother, and no one would care about a little young master who was not subject to **, so he turned his head curiously and saw her who was as dazzling as the sun and as pretty as a little fairy.

"Isn't that cooler?" her voice was so sweet that even now when he thought about it, it still mesmerized him. Maybe she was too beautiful and made him feel ashamed of himself, maybe it was because he had been cared for so little and the sudden care made him speechless, maybe he had been exposed to the sun for too long and his throat couldn't make a sound at all, so he opened his dry lips and said nothing.

"Giggle~cuck~c~" Her laughter was as pleasant as a string of silver bells in the wind, and he was overwhelmed by her laughter, so he lowered his head shyly, but she laughed louder.

"Are you shy?Little ~ Flower ~ Cat ~" She deliberately lengthened her voice when she said the word Little Flower Cat.

"Who is the little flower cat!" he stubbornly refused to admit it, but subconsciously wiped his face with his sleeve.

"Tsk~tsk~ I'm not very old, and my temper is not small. She pursed her cherry-like lips.

"Of course I'm older than you, you should call me Big Brother. He thought that the eldest brother was the authority, and when he became the eldest brother, others would respect him.

"Yes, yes, yes, little brother, wipe your face!" she pulled out a white handkerchief to wipe his face. But his childish and stubborn heart told him to refuse, so he tried to dodge until he heard a faint call, and she responded.

"Here you go. She gave him the handkerchief, but he refused to ask for it, so she shoved it into his hand, and said a little anxiously, "Take it quickly! I should go, you can wipe it yourself!"

The feelings of the teenager are always so beautiful, and since then she has left an indelible mark on his heart. Every time Ye Su recalled, there would always be a chuckle on the corner of his mouth, and he laughed at his cowardice. At that time, he didn't even dare to ask who she was, until he occasionally heard people talking, and he knew that he was Jiang Xiuli, the pearl of the great general Jiang Zhenlou. Since then, he has worked a hundred times harder than ordinary people, just to become a man worthy of her.

The funny thing is that when he sees her again, she has become Dongfang Xun's princess, and what is even more ridiculous is that maybe she doesn't remember the little flower cat in the sun at all. When he saw the tenderness and sweetness in her eyes when she looked at Dongfang Xun, he already understood that she was no longer the little fairy in his memory. His heart was full of bitterness, but no matter what he thought in his heart, it was always cold on his face.

In the world of feelings, giving is not necessarily rewarded, but there is such a person who is willing not to ask for anything in return, which is also the mystery of love. Ye Su is such a person, although Jiang Xiuli is married to another woman, he still guards her without regrets.

"Falling flowers deliberately chase the water, and the flowing water flows from the east" When he stood on the edge of Mingyue Lake and watched the lake go farther and farther away with the falling petals, he laughed at himself as if he was a falling flower in this water. Gently took out the yellowed white handkerchief, the fragrance lingering in his memory, and gave him endless strength.
