Noble First Daughter-in-law

Chapter 1268 Don’t worry

Upon hearing this, Yu Wenyuan's eyes suddenly darkened.

Zhang Yuping's face was gloomy. He said, "How can this be possible? The emperor has already publicly issued an order in the court, asking the people in the Qin Palace to leave Chang'an in ten days. How can she change it so easily?"

Yuwen Yuan turned around and looked at her.

She was probably too angry and couldn't control her voice when she spoke, so her voice sounded particularly sharp.

Su Qinglan's eardrums were also scratched by her voice, and she subconsciously wanted to open her mouth to refute, but the moment she opened her mouth, her mind suddenly emerged with the words that Shang Ruyi had carefully instructed her when she was facing the princess in the Qin Palace just now -

Doctor Su, I know this matter is very difficult for you, but now that things have come to this, we have no way out. I hope you can help us.

You just need to tell the emperor about Yuan Qian's illness and ask for his approval on my behalf. As for the rest, no matter who is around and how they advise the emperor, you should ignore them.

The emperor will make his own decision.

……

Thinking of this, she suppressed the uneasiness and anxiety in her heart, closed her mouth, lowered her head and said nothing.

The hall suddenly became quiet.

Although the silence was very short, it was a long struggle for the people in the hall. Zhang Yuping suddenly realized in this infinitely prolonged silence that he had been too aggressive just now - no matter what, Yuan Qian was Yuwen Yuan's only grandson and the emperor's eldest grandson. No matter how Yuwen Ye fought with him, they were close relatives, and he could not be ruthless to this child.

What's more, it happened when the child was sick.

So Zhang Yuping immediately said: "Your Majesty, I am just worried——"

Seeing her hesitating, Yuwen Yuan silently turned his head away. Although he did not scold her, he just waved his hand at her. His nonchalant look made Zhang Yuping even more uneasy.

Yu Wenyuan didn't plan to pay any more attention to her, but just looked at Su Qinglan in silence.

Under normal circumstances, the Princess of Qin would not have to say anything. Knowing that Yuan Qian had this disease, he would have instructed that no one else was allowed to go to the Prince of Qin's Mansion to disturb Yuan Qian easily, and he would have told the people in the mansion to take good care of the child and let the child rest. But now, although he still felt sorry for his grandson, there seemed to be a hint of uneasiness surging in the deepest part of his heart.

Tomorrow is the day when the King of Qin will leave for Luoyang to take up his post. According to his will, all the people in his mansion, including his confidants, generals and everyone else should go together.

This is being uprooted.

But now, Princess Qin asked for permission to stay - it was like leaving a root behind.

He was silent for a while, and his deep and bottomless eyes looked at Su Qinglan: "This kind of disease is most afraid of being exposed to the wind, and can't be tired by boat or car. You should rest peacefully, right?"

From what he said, it seemed that he was very familiar with the disease, and the reason he asked about it was probably because he was really feeling uneasy.

I can't bear it either.

Su Qinglan lowered her head, and the cool water droplets on her forehead fell along a strand of hair and landed on the floor in front of her. Although the "plop" sound was very slight, it seemed to hit her heart hard. Fear and timidity were completely shattered by that slight drop of water at this moment. She was like a person who had walked to the edge of a cliff. After exhausting all her fear, she released her courage and released everything.

She raised her head and said solemnly: "Yes!"

"..."

"The little prince caught a cold a few days ago and stayed in bed for a few days. Although he has recovered, his body has been affected. If such a young child is really allowed to travel long distances when he has smallpox, I'm afraid..."

Yuwen Yuan couldn't bear it and closed his eyes.

When he opened his eyes again, there seemed to be a few more wrinkles at the corners of his eyes. Although it made his eyes look a little gentler, it also made his expression look a little older.

He said, "Okay, let them stay."

The heavy rain had not stopped yet. Su Qinglan, holding an umbrella, walked out of the palace gate accompanied by several young eunuchs. It was already past the time to close the palace gate. The gate had been delayed because they had to wait for her to go into the palace to report on Yuan Qian's condition. People had been sent to urge them several times, so the young eunuchs became a little anxious and quickened their pace.

Su Qinglan was not walking slowly, she was so hurried that she didn't even avoid the puddles on the ground. After a while, the hem of her skirt was wet to her knees.

If someone looked closely at her steps at this time, they would find that her walking posture was very strange. Her knees were hardly bent, her steps were big, quick and strong, and her whole body was a little stiff.

Finally, they reached the palace gate.

As soon as he walked out, the tall and heavy palace gate closed heavily behind him.

Su Qinglan was stunned by the loud noise like muffled thunder. She turned around and saw that it was already pitch black behind her. The tall palace gate stood in the darkness of night and rain like a huge monster. She turned her head immediately, but a gust of wind and rain came towards her again. The only lantern left in her hand was shaking in the wind, and the faint light was immediately extinguished in the wind and rain.

This time, she was completely plunged into darkness.

Su Qinglan froze.

In fact, just now in the Liangyi Palace, when she said those words and got the emperor's consent as she wished, her soul seemed to be sucked away. She had always been kind to others and abided by the rules, but she had also worked hard to make a difference. She knew very well that she had hung herself on the edge of the cliff that night.

If she can take advantage of the favorable wind, she can soar into the sky and achieve great success!

If the cliff collapses, she will fall into the abyss, with no way out, and even her family will be doomed to eternal damnation...

She simply couldn't believe that she had actually said those words and that she had actually participated in such an earth-shattering plan that could change the fate of the entire world!
Will he win? Or will he lose...?
She was holding the extinguished lantern, her legs wrapped in completely wet clothes, as if tied with heavy weights, and she walked forward stiffly step by step. But just after she took two steps, she suddenly felt as if someone was looking at her in the heavy rain in front of her.

She looked up immediately.

At this moment, she saw that there had been a carriage parked in front of her, but she couldn't see it clearly because of the heavy rain at night. The moment she saw the carriage clearly, she immediately saw a familiar tall and agile figure standing beside the carriage, holding an umbrella in his hand. Although the wind was strong and the rain was heavy, the figure stood steadily in front of her, motionless, as if waiting for something firmly and stubbornly.

As soon as she saw the familiar outline, Su Qinglan's heart beat violently.

That’s Jiang Wei!
"you--"

Su Qinglan opened her mouth, but her voice was completely hoarse.

The words she had just said to the emperor in the Liangyi Hall had almost cost her half her life. At this moment, not only was her voice hoarse and her legs stiff, but even her hands were so numb and weak that she could hardly hold the light oil-paper umbrella.

The next moment, another strong wind blew, and the umbrella in her hand was blown away.

Heavy rain fell, and the cold rain threads entangled and attacked her. Just when Su Qinglan was almost suffocated by the wind and rain, Jiang Wei rushed over and not only stood in front of her, blocking all the wind and rain, but also held his umbrella over her head.

His eyes were as bright as a lamp, staring at her intently: "Are you okay?"

Su Qinglan looked up at him, a few strands of cold rain flew into her eyes, stinging her eyes and making them feel a little painful and itchy. Then a pool of warmth surged up from the bottom of her eyes and suddenly crossed her eye sockets, making her vision blurred and she could hardly see anything in the deep night.

The only thing that can be seen clearly is the tenderness and determination in those eyes.

"I--"

She tried to say something else, but her voice was still hoarse.

But Jiang Wei had no intention of listening to her at all. He held the umbrella in one hand and with the other hand he pulled off his cloak and put it on her.

The cloak still carried his body temperature and his breath, like a thick chest that instantly wrapped up Su Qinglan's thin body. She had just been attacked by the wind and rain, and her cold body suddenly felt like she was in warm spring. Su Qinglan shivered, and the whole person woke up with a start: "What about you?"

Jiang Wei not only put a cloak on her, but also put his arm around her shoulders and held her in his arms.

He said, "I'm not cold."

"..."

"Get in the car first, I'll take you home."

"..."

Su Qinglan did not struggle or speak, but obediently snuggled in his arms and followed him into the carriage. After they were seated, Jiang Wei gave an order to the coachman, and the carriage immediately turned around in the wind and rain and drove towards her home.

About half an hour later, the carriage stopped at her doorstep.

Jiang Wei jumped off the carriage first, then turned around and stretched out his hand to the people in the carriage. Su Qinglan just glanced at him, then silently stretched out her hand for him to hold, and then got off the carriage.

It was still pitch black all around.

But Jiang Wei's eyes seemed brighter than before.

Although they didn't say a word in the carriage during the journey, he never let go of the body in his arms that was gradually warmed up by him. Looking at his cloak wrapped around her, he even felt a sense of unprecedented satisfaction.

He said: "You——"

But before he could finish his words, Su Qinglan spoke first: "Go and report to the King of Qin and the Princess, the Emperor agrees."

Jiang Wei said: "We know."

Su Qinglan lowered her head.

Jiang Wei also lowered his head, leaned as close to her ear as possible, and said softly, "Don't worry."

Su Qinglan's heart skipped a beat, and she regained her sanity, knowing what she had done tonight. Of course, at this point, nothing could be changed. What she had done was a foregone conclusion, and as for her outcome - she could only depend on them.

Thinking of this, she raised her head again and was about to say something when a gust of wind and cold rain blew towards her again. Su Qinglan subconsciously shrank her neck, but before she could feel the coolness, she felt herself falling into a warm and solid embrace.

"...!"

Her breath also choked at this moment.

Jiang Wei hugged her tightly, and the umbrella in his hand flew away with the wind.

Su Qinglan opened her eyes wide and wanted to say something, but all the words seemed useless at this moment and she couldn't utter them. She could only feel the pair of arms like iron clamps hugging her tightly, almost making it difficult for her to breathe, but she didn't feel sad. In fact, she instinctively let him hold her tighter and more submissively.

Then, a deep voice sounded in her ears——

"do not worry."

"..."

"We won't lose, we will definitely win!"

"..."

"I will become someone worthy of you, someone you can trust, and then I will come to your door!"
