Chapter 55: Meditation

When Wen Shumei woke up, it was already past three poles, and when she opened her eyes, she habitually looked to the side, and Zhong Lishuo was indeed not there. Wen Shumei's heart sank, but she still didn't give up and reached over and touched the position beside her, which originally belonged to Zhong Lishuo.

Cold.

It should have been expected, but for some reason, Wen Shumei was still uncomfortable in her heart. She sat up with all her might, her head didn't seem to be as dizzy as yesterday, but her limbs were still weak, and she felt tired when she moved a little, and she felt her mouth dry, and her tongue stuck out to lick the dry skin on her lips.

"Red Lotus! Red Lotus! Wen Shumei shouted weakly. Honglian, who was outside the house, heard the sound and hurriedly pushed the door in, and brought a bowl of tea to her. watched Wen Shumei take a big sip of water before she spoke:

"His Royal Highness came to see the princess early this morning, and said that the princess must have asked for water to drink when she woke up, and the slave maid was colder. Now it depends on His Highness's right. Wen Shumei listened to Honglian's words and raised her eyebrows:

"Your Highness has been here today?" Honglian took the empty tea bowl in Wen Shumei's hand and nodded:

"En, Your Highness came early this morning, and I didn't disturb when I saw that the princess was still asleep." Wen Shumei listened, and a sneer rose at the corner of her mouth:

"Why did he bother, he was already going to abandon me. I'm afraid it's for my father. At the mention of her father, Wen Shumei felt aggrieved again, and smiled self-deprecatingly, "My father, he is not in the mood to pay attention to me." I haven't seen it yet. Honglian heard Wen Shumei's words, and hurriedly comforted:

"The princess has wronged the lord by saying this, the lord came to see the princess last night, and saw that the princess was asleep, with tears in the corners of her eyes, and the lord was very distressed. He also helped the princess wipe her tears. The princess didn't see the old man's appearance•••••• "Red Lotus is still chattering." Wen Shumei listened, but her heart was a mess, and it was very messy, and she didn't know her own thoughts. Just reclining on the edge of the bed, he took Zhong Lishuo's pillow on the other side in one hand and held it in his arms.

Wen Shumei was holding a pillow in her arms, her eyes were staring at the light and shadow of the sunlight outside the window penetrating into the room, and suddenly she felt that the light in this dormitory was very dim:

"Red Lotus, is the sun outside very good today?" Honglian didn't react to Wen Shumei's question for a while, so she could only reply honestly:

"The sun outside is very good today, but the princess's body is not yet complete. If the princess wants to go out, the slave and maid will naturally be punished by His Royal Highness. As soon as Honglian's voice fell, Wen Shumei looked up at her eyes, and a strange smile rose at the corner of her mouth:

"I'm not going out, I'm asking you, how is the investigation of what you are doing?" Honglian was stunned for a moment, and suddenly became dumbfounded. I don't know what to say. Wen Shumei looked at Honglian's expression, and couldn't help but be suspicious in her heart, but she also knew Honglian's temperament very well, and it was impossible for her not to investigate. He put down the pillow in his arms, sat up straight, and said with a smile:

"Just say it, don't be afraid." Honglian lowered her head and pursed her lips tightly, and only after a while did she weakly spit out a sentence:

"That woman is not called Chu Chen. Her name is Jinse. As soon as Honglian said a word, she raised her head and skimmed Wen Shumei's expression, and saw that Wen Shumei was not angry before she said slowly, "The slave maid also asked from the person who went out with His Highness. said that the woman was originally an Oiran in Yangzhou, and her dancing skills were extraordinary. His Highness was fascinated. Later, I found out that the woman was a killer and was going to kill His Highness. But for some reason, His Highness just couldn't do anything to that woman. ”

"Bastard!" Before Honglian finished speaking, Wen Shumei scolded loudly, which frightened Honglian, Honglian's body shook, hurriedly put down the tea bowl in her hand, and took a step forward, when she wanted to comfort Wen Shumei, she only heard the closed door "squeak-" opened. The master and servant followed the prestige and saw Wentai standing outside the door.

"Shumei, why are you still so unruly!" Wen Tai said sharply to Wen Shumei. Wen Shumei was a little aggrieved by what her father said. Honglian saw it and hurriedly stepped forward to solve the siege:

"Don't be angry, sir, it's the slave who said the wrong thing. The princess should be scolded. Wentai's eyes kept looking at his daughter, but he just waved his hand and said coldly:

"You go out first. You won't be comforted as a slave, after all, you are a married person, how can you still be so ignorant! When Honglian heard this, she had no choice but to obediently exit the door. Wen Shumei watched Honglian close the door, and all the grievances in her heart surged up, and tears instantly forced out of her eyes, and she cried:

"Father, how can you say that about your daughter, do you know how much your daughter has been wronged!" As soon as the words came out, Wen Shumei's grievances during this period seemed to have finally found an outlet, and she was out of control and cried more and more.

Wen Tai saw his daughter crying like this, his heart seemed to be invisibly grasped by a hand, and now he swallowed it back into his stomach when he just wanted to blame, he only felt distressed, and hurriedly took two steps forward, took his daughter into his arms, and let Wen Shumei lie on his knees and cry, while gently patting Wen Shumei's back and comforting:

"Shumei, what's wrong, how did she suffer so much grievance. Tell your father and he will make decisions for you. Wen Shumei heard this, and cried more and more, but she still told her father about the grievances she had suffered in the past few days in a whimper, and she hoped that her father could speak for herself. But she didn't want to, after she finished speaking, her father just wiped the tears from her face for her and patted her to comfort her.

After a while, Wen Shumei was a little tired from crying, gradually stopped crying, wiped the tears on her face with her hands, looked at her father, and waited for her father to give her a promise to help her get angry. But all she saw was her father's frowning brow. Wen Shumei was a little distracted, so she shook Wentai's hand and said:

"Why didn't my father speak, didn't my father say that he wanted to make Mei'er angry!" Wentai looked at his daughter, and his emotions fell into an extremely complicated situation. He had no way to tell his daughter, he naturally knew that his daughter had been wronged, but he couldn't compete with the royal family. Therefore, after frowning and hesitating for a long time, Wentai could only spit out a sentence helplessly:

"Daughter, my father knows that you are uncomfortable and you are wronged, but my father still has to persuade you to endure it." This sentence was like a thunderbolt from the sky, throwing Wen Shumei back into the barren abyss from the warm bed that had just been protected, she was extremely angry, and angrily shook off Wentai's hand holding her:

"How can my father be like this, others bully me. But my father still has to persuade me to endure it! How could my father be so cruel to me! Wentai took a deep breath. Raising her eyes to look at Wen Shumei, she couldn't bear it, but she still said slowly:

"Shumei, don't worry, you can endure it now, it will be good for the future."
