Chapter 43 Fortunately, I have you
Ning Yunxi's eyes froze and she was slightly startled.
"Did I... cry?"
As he spoke, he stroked his right cheek with his fingertips, and indeed, he felt a drop of warmth.
Qiu Bi took out a silk handkerchief, walked over a few steps, smiled caringly, and wiped her tears.
"What did the eldest master say to the girl?"
"Girl, are you wavering again?"
Ning Yunxi shook her head and tried to smile, but only a bitter smile came out.
"Nothing said."
"It's not a big deal."
"After your previous advice, I will not waver again."
After saying that, she picked up Qin Ziyu's gold hairpin and sealed it in a wooden box.
Qiu Bi glanced at the wooden box.
"This is a box for storing things that are not often used. Why did you put the hairpin in here?"
"That gold hairpin looks like it's newly bought."
Ning Yunxi glanced at him disappointedly, and finally looked at the golden hairpin.
"My older brother bought it."
"It's useless at ordinary times, it's a pity to throw it away, so just put it in this box."
"Just think of it as the first step towards breaking off all feelings and love."
Qiu Bi finally understood what the girl meant and couldn't help feeling distressed.
"Girl, you still don't want to leave, right?"
Ning Yunxi withdrew his gaze, sat on the chair, and laughed at himself.
"What's the point if I just don't give up?"
"The falling flowers have feelings, but the flowing water is merciless."
"He is just trying to win me over for the emperor."
Qiu Bi nodded in agreement.
"The emperor's old illness was cured by the girl."
"Before, you married His Royal Highness Prince Chen."
"As the daughter-in-law, the emperor is naturally willing to trust her, so he lets the girl take the medicine without any worries."
"But now, the young lady assists King Dijin."
"It is understandable that the emperor is suspicious and unwilling to believe it."
"I guess even if your old illness relapses, the emperor won't ask you for a cure."
"In my humble opinion, the emperor is eager to win you over mainly for your medical skills, right?"
Ning Yunxi looked towards the window, gazing in the direction of Prince Dijin's palace.
"maybe."
"It may also be that he simply doesn't want me to assist King Di Jin, so he asked my elder brother Yinghuo to create discord between us."
"Among all the people in the Ning Mansion, the Emperor only values my elder brother. This shows that he is very good at judging people and can see through their subtleties."
"With big brother's extraordinary wisdom, no one in the Ning Mansion can compare to him."
"I have to say, big brother's ability to play two-faced tricks is becoming more and more unstoppable. Compared with his previous life, he seems to be more skilled."
"I couldn't handle it several times, and even now, I still feel dazed."
"Is he sincere?"
Qiu Bi glanced sideways and fell into thought.
"Perhaps, the eldest master is sincere."
"I feel that simple hypocrisy is not scary; straightforward malice is even more fearless."
"It is only this kind of deception mixed with sincerity that is hard to guard against."
"Young Master is sincere, is that so?"
"correct,"
"I just received a message from Lord Xie, saying that he happened to see Madam entering the palace, and it seemed strange, so I asked someone to keep a close eye on her."
"As a result, after Madam asked to see the Imperial Concubine Yi, she went straight to Prince Chen's Palace."
Ning Yunxi thought about it for a moment and sneered.
"She took advantage of my soft heart and the rift between me and my brother. She couldn't miss the opportunity and quickly tried to win over the Prince."
"On weekdays, she is also good at disguising herself and acting sanctimonious,"
"But, in front of my big brother, I still pale in comparison."
"It's unbelievable. Compared to her big brother, even she seems much more straightforward."
"Big brother is very scheming, and that's evident from this."
"Forget it, I don't want to think about them anymore,"
"How's the situation over there, brother?"
"Son of Lord Qin, are you willing to join the government?"
Qiu Bi sighed helplessly.
"The prince seems to be on guard. I didn't find out anything in Prince Dijin's mansion."
"However, I learned from Lord Qin that Young Master Qin has already followed the prince."
"Young lady, you know that Lord Qin is investigating the old grievances of my biological parents, so he asked me to come over and ask a few questions."
"It seems that the prince's plan to recommend me for officialdom is going smoothly."
Ning Yunxi lay on the table, looking depressed.
"Alas, there are troubles everywhere."
"Why can't he understand my soft-heartedness?"
Qiu Bi comforted her gently.
"In this life, the relationship between the prince and the girl is too shallow."
"Don't rush anything. When the time is right, everything will fall into place."
"I believe that the young lady will succeed."
Ning Yunxi felt warm at heart when she heard this.
"Luckily I have you."
"Thank you for trusting me."
Qiu Bi smiled gently, her eyes narrowed into the most beautiful arc.
"It should be the maidservant who thanks you, young lady."
"I am a dull servant who cannot distinguish beans from wheat. I am grateful to the young lady for not abandoning me and entrusting me with important tasks."
……
Qin Hongzhong personally conducted the trial and quickly redressed the injustice of Feng Yan and his wife.
Qiu Bi was overjoyed and said that she would go in person to bring her parents back to Beijing.
Not long after, he ran back in a hurry.
All the cheerful looks on her face were replaced by a frown of heartache, and when she knelt in front of Ning Yunxi, Qiu Bi was already crying bitterly.
"Please, young lady, save my parents!"
Ning Yunxi didn't understand what was going on, so she reached out and helped her up.
"You stand up first."
"what happened?"
"Master Qin... has he failed again?"
Qiu Bi almost burst into tears.
"No."
"Everything goes well, Master Qin."
"It's His Royal Highness Prince Chen..."
As she spoke, she handed over the letter that Gu Nianting had written to Ning Yunxi with trembling hands.
Ning Yunxi was also extremely worried and quickly took the letter and read it:
Please invite my third cousin to come to Prince Chen’s mansion alone for a chat.
Qiu Bi's parents are safe and sound, please don't worry, cousin.
This king has prepared a large house and has asked his men to serve them and accommodate them.
Treat others with courtesy and there will be no unexpected danger.
Ning Yunxi was so angry that she slammed the letter on the tea table.
"Too deceiving!"
"You only know how to do these little tricks behind my back, you scoundrel!"
Qiu Bi cried so hard that she almost fainted.
"Please try to rescue her, girl!"
"Your Highness Prince Chen must have conspired with Concubine Yi."
"When he said there would be no unexpected danger, did he mean that my parents could only be murdered by him on purpose, rather than encountering an accident?"
Ning Yunxi's eyes were filled with heartache and she hurried to comfort him.
"Don't worry."
"I will definitely save them."
"Not only will I rescue them, but I will also cure the diseases they have contracted from exile."
"In this life, you will definitely be reunited."
"Trust me, okay?"
Qiu Bi's crying gradually stopped and she regained some of her sanity.
"But,"
"Your Highness Prince Chen's move is obviously a fraud."
"Girls who are deeply involved in this can easily become passive."
"I really can't bear to see the girl fall into the trap."
Ning Yunxi pretended to smile calmly.
"fine."
"At worst, I can live another life."
“Everything starts all over again.”
Qiu Bi reminded while sobbing.
"But the girl told me before that this life is the last chance."
"There can be no next life."
Ning Yunxi swallowed.
"Listen to me, the 22nd century is a very prosperous place."
"In the words of my brother in my previous life, it is very developed and advanced."
"Perhaps, Brother will come up with other ways to help me be reborn again."
"you do not need to worry,"
"They can't do anything to us."
