2. Chapter 2

The tattered swing swayed gently, and the hemp rope squeaked and creaked as it drove the branches above, making the already troubled heart of the girl sitting on it even more agitated.

This girl who looks no more than fourteen or fifteen years old is the daughter born to the empress and the male attendant of Cangwu Kingdom, the fourth princess Cangwu Jingkite.

That's right! She had indeed been reborn fifteen years ago, and judging from the information she had gathered all day, she should have been reborn on the day after her Rite of Peace.

The humiliating gift, although ten years have passed, the cangwu jingkite is still fresh in his memory.

At that time, the reason why she was able to participate in the ceremony was entirely because the third princess Cangwu Lingxue and Cangwu Jingyuan who were born by the side monarch in the palace were married on the same day, so she invited Cangwu Jingkite to participate in the ceremony together.

However, during the whole process of the ceremony, when Cangwu Lingxue enjoyed the congratulations of others and shined at the venue, she, the so-called princess who was left out in the cold, was actually no different from a palace maid.

However, she may have been happy at that time, because if it wasn't for the banquet that day, she would not have had the opportunity to meet Shen Ye, the son of the general, and would not have indulged in his gentle appearance, let alone love him for a full fifteen years.

That is, after that banquet, she stood by the mirror lake and thought about Shen Ye smiling at her gently, congratulating her on her adulthood, so impatiently and ruthlessly rejected her when Bai Qian expressed her heart to her, and threw the puppet she had worked so hard to carve into the lake.

Cangwu Jingyuan knew very well that Bai Qian should be lying on the big bed in the dormitory of Xueyang Palace with a high fever at this moment, but she didn't know what face to look at her.

Cangwu Jingkite was able to bring down those forces that rebelled against her and ascended to the throne, although Bai Qian's contribution was indispensable, but if she was just a useless straw bale, she would not be able to climb to that position with Bai Qian's efforts alone.

Therefore, in addition to falling in love with someone who shouldn't be loved, Cangwu Jingkite is still very wise in other aspects.

So she didn't go to Bai Qian for the first time after she was reborn, she knew Bai Qian's heart for herself. And she knows better that her current feelings for Bai Qian are only deep gratitude and endless guilt. And what Bai Qian really wants now, she can't give it now.

The relationship that had been painstakingly managed for ten years was burned, and Cangwu Jingkite is now unsure whether he still has the ability to love someone. With such a she, what should she do to love Bai Qian now?

The only thing she can think about now is how to stabilize her position in the palace, have her own power, and let those who have betrayed her receive the retribution they deserve! Let Bai Qian not have to work so hard anymore......

"Cangwu Jing Kite! I didn't expect you to be so vicious! Do you know that Bai Qian soaked in the lake all night last night looking for the broken puppet to give you, and now he is having a high fever! Bai Qian has always been so good to you, she is sick now, you still have the leisure to swing here, do you still have humanity! ”

As she pondered, a voice full of anger came from behind her.

For this voice, Cangwu Jing Kite is no stranger. Her titular younger brother, Cangwu Jingrui, the fifth prince of Cangwu Splendid Country, is Bai Qian's admirer, and the only one who knows that Bai Qian likes her.

Turning his head and glancing lightly at the fair-skinned and somewhat heroic boy, Cangwu Jingyuan got up and walked towards the outside of the palace.

"Hey! Didn't you hear me talking to you? Don't think that I'm used to your stinky temper like Bai Qian, and annoy me, this prince is not polite to you! As he spoke, Cangwu Jingrui subconsciously grabbed Cangwu Jingrui's sleeve.

The cold gaze fell on Cangwu Jingrui's hand holding the corner of Cangwu Jingrui's clothes, and the coldness that came could almost freeze Cangwu Jingrui, he remembered that since Cangwu Jingyu's father died in Qingqiu Palace, except for people who are close to Cangwu Jingyuan in general with Bai Qian, others approaching her will cause her displeasure, so he hurriedly withdrew his hand and pouted.

Looking at Cangwu Jingrui's appearance, Cangwu Jingrui rubbed her eyebrows a little helplessly, she can change anything in the past fifteen years, but this habit of hating contact with others just can't be changed. Even if you are reborn once, can't you erase the shadow left by your father's death?

With a silent wry smile, Cangwu Jingyu swept away the chaotic feelings in her eyes, looked at Cangwu Jingrui and said, "Don't you want me to go to see Bai Qian?" Then go for it! With that, she walked out of her dilapidated Qingqiu Palace and walked straight towards the palace where Bai Qian lived.

"What a weirdo!" Cangwu Jingrui muttered in a low voice, stomped his feet indignantly, and followed Cangwu Jingrui towards Xueyang Palace.

Bai Qian was originally the daughter of the founding prime minister, but her parents were killed by the enemy when Bai Qian was four years old, and Bai Qian was taken out to play by the nurse that day, so she survived.

In view of the loyalty of their family, the empress sent someone to catch the murderer Ling Chi and execute him, and then brought Bai Qian into the palace as her own daughter. In addition, Bai Qian has been smart and clever since she was a child, and she is deeply loved by the empress, so that she was secretly given the title of future prime minister by the officials of the current court at a young age. Even the eldest princess, who has always been pampered and domineering, will give three points in front of her.

And this amazing future prime minister, but now she is bedridden by her, the fourth princess who is the most unfavored in the dynasty, Cangwu Jingkite is really a great crime!

"Sister Bai, I brought the Cangwu Jing Kite who made you like this to make amends for your sins, if you want to kill or chop you as you like, you should get better quickly!"

Pushing open the door of the Xueyang Palace's dormitory, Cangwu Jingrui rushed in and shouted at Bai Qianzhi who was lying on the bed, looking at Cangwu Jingyu's eyes as if he was looking at a heinous sinner.

Although this seems to be the case

Cangwu Jingyuan followed Cangwu Jingrui into the inner room, and saw Bai Qian lying on the bed covered with a quilt, and his originally fair and delicate little face was flushed because of fever. Maybe it's because the illness is too strict, Cangwu Jingrui just called out to her before she woke up.

Glancing at the palace maid Qiu Rong who was waiting on the side, Cangwu Jing Yuan frowned and said, "Have you asked the imperial doctor to take a look?" ”

Seeing that the dark color of the cangwu jingkite was not good, although the maid was very disdainful of this princess who did not have half of the real power in the palace, she knew that her master attached great importance to these four princesses, so she bowed down and responded: "The imperial doctor has already seen it, and the prescription has been boiled after the medicine, but the master said that he would not drink anything, and drove all of us maids out, wrapped in wet clothes and holding a small puppet and fell asleep with clothes." ”

Cangwu Jingyuan frowned slightly, and her words were a little annoyed, "She doesn't want to take medicine, so you let her mess around?" If something goes wrong, do you think you can take the responsibility? ”

As soon as he heard this, Qiu Rong obviously realized the severity of the matter, and said with a little grievance in a panic: "The master gave an order before falling asleep, saying that if anyone spreads the news of her illness, he will go and get the thirty boards himself, we are just slaves, how dare we not listen to the master's words and do it privately?" ”
