Chapter 827: Did you hear her say 'husband'?
She and Jian Wu had just gone to ask the imperial physician, but Xie Ying hadn't woken up yet, so she had no idea what the situation was.
But one of the imperial doctors suspected that Miss Xie might never wake up...
Seeing people wake up, Mingzhu's voice trembled with fear.
"nothing."
Xiao Chen carried the person onto the carriage. Jian Wu and Ming Zhu also got on immediately and drove away.
"Jian Wu, return to the palace."
Palace?
Jian Wu was shocked, and so was Ming Zhu. "Your Majesty, this, this is not good?"
Although people are much bolder nowadays.
Although the eldest lady likes the prince.
However, the prince has never promised the eldest lady marriage, so what does it mean for her to follow him to the palace?
If outsiders knew about this, the young lady would be drowned in spit.
Xiao Chen knew Mingzhu's loyalty and said, "Yesterday, I promised Aying that the emperor would grant us marriage when she wakes up."
what?
Jian Wu was not surprised.
But Mingzhu opened her mouth wide, like a patient suffering from a level 10 stroke, and couldn't close her mouth for a long time.
Jian Wu smiled and said, "Silly girl, our prince promised that he would marry Miss Xie when she wakes up."
“Really, really—”
Jian Wu nodded, "Really, you heard it right."
Mingzhu didn't know what to say for a moment. The eldest lady finally got what she wanted, but why did it happen after the eldest lady was injured and fell into a coma?
But yesterday, the eldest lady couldn't sleep in the middle of the night.
If the prince has already agreed, why can't the young lady sleep? Or is it a misunderstanding?
That’s right, the eldest lady said that the prince accepted the handkerchief.
But she was just a maid, so how could she dare to ask the prince why he also accepted Xie Shanxiang's things?
After arriving at the palace, Xiao Chen directly carried the person into his main house.
Mingzhu was so anxious that she jumped up and down.
"Is this really okay?" Mingzhu was isolated and helpless here, so she asked Jianwu helplessly.
Jian Wu said, "Don't worry, I will go to Jingzhao Yin now to see how Xie Zheng is doing. If you have any problems, you can use the people in the mansion as you like, but there are no women here, so you will have to take care of Miss Xie personally."
"Yeah, I sure will."
Mingzhu took the tea brought by the servant and went in.
Xiao Chen sat beside the bed, quietly watching the girl falling asleep with a smile on her face, his heart aching.
He didn't know that his concern for her had reached the point of heartache.
Mingzhu stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, would you like some tea?"
Xiao Chen waved his hand without saying anything.
Mingzhu had no choice but to put the tea aside and stood quietly waiting for instructions, looking at the eldest lady with the same concern.
"Go check the kitchen to see when the medicine will be delivered."
Mingzhu then remembered that the Imperial Hospital did not prescribe any medicine, but after His Royal Highness Prince Chen came back, he talked to Jianwu about it for a while.
Jianwu should have told the housekeeper in the mansion.
About quarter of an hour later, a servant came to deliver the medicine.
"Your Highness, the medicine is here. I'll serve the young lady the medicine." Mingzhu said as she was about to start.
Xiao Chen didn't move, but just stretched out his hand.
Mingzhu had no choice but to hand the bowl of medicine to Xiao Chen, and then stood aside silently. It seemed that His Royal Highness Prince Chen really cared about the eldest lady.
If you had shown such concern earlier, how could the young lady be sad, and then——
Thinking of this, Mingzhu couldn't stop crying.
Xiao Chen was feeding Mingzhu medicine and didn't notice that she was crying, but Xie Ying refused to take the medicine and he didn't know what to do.
When I looked up, I saw Mingzhu's red eyes from crying.
Mingzhu knelt down quickly and said, "Your Highness, I am sorry for my rudeness. I am just sad for the young lady. If the young lady had known your feelings earlier, perhaps the disaster this morning would not have happened."
After saying that, Mingzhu cried out, she really couldn't help it, "Miss, Miss has really tried her best to pursue you, she is not afraid of the worldly eyes -"
"The prince is finally moved by the young lady, but why hasn't the young lady woken up yet..."
Mingzhu continued talking, not noticing that Xiao Chen's brows were furrowed in pain because of the sudden pain in his heart.
"Miss, Miss seems to be smiling." Mingzhu suddenly discovered.
Xiao Chen also looked over, only to see Xie Ying smiling slightly and saying something. He leaned over to listen and heard her say "husband".
"What did the lady say?"
"Husband." Xiao Chen said.
Mingzhu opened her mouth and said, "The eldest lady must have known the prince's intentions. She is happy. Miss, please wake up soon. The prince said that as long as you wake up, he will marry you."
Xiao Chen looked at Xie Ying. She actually called him husband.
He decided to ask Aying to issue an edict to grant him and Aying a marriage tomorrow!
However, what did Mingzhu mean by that just now? "You just said that if it weren't for what happened yesterday, Aying wouldn't have gotten into trouble. What do you mean by that?"
Mingzhu choked up and said, "The prince said that you promised the eldest lady yesterday, but the eldest lady didn't seem to think so."
"I already accepted her handkerchief, and this—"
"But the prince took Xie Shanxiang's pillow and sachet and placed them in such an obvious place on the kang. Could it be that the prince always sleeps with the pillow and the sachet in his hand during his nap?"
Xiao Chen: “…”
“No!”
He felt so wronged that he said, "I've asked Jian Wu to throw away those two things!"
Mingzhu was speechless, "So, the prince only has our eldest lady in his heart, and the prince is not so kind to everyone."
Xiao Chen almost got angry.
Aying is still in a coma. Judging from his pulse, his life is not in danger, but if he doesn't wake up within three days, there's no telling when he will wake up!
He also had to find a way to make her wake up as soon as possible!
"She is the only one I allow to get even a little bit closer!"
Mingzhu burst into laughter and said, "So that's how it is. When Miss wakes up, I will definitely tell her that the prince has liked her for a long time."
Xiao Chen didn't say anything, but looked at the medicine bowl in his hand, "You go out first, I'll feed Ah Ying the medicine."
"The medicine can't be fed in, Your Majesty, what should I do--" Feed?
Xiao Chen frowned slightly. He had thought of an unprecedented solution, and was afraid that Mingzhu would worry, so he said, "Aying doesn't seem to be in any danger, but if she doesn't wake up within three days, we don't know when she will wake up!
That is why I brought her directly back to the palace. Only here, with the formation and feng shui of my room, can I save her from danger!"
Mingzhu suddenly realized and looked at this simple room again. The five elements and eight trigrams were everywhere, which was a bit like the decoration inside the Imperial Observatory described by the eldest lady.
"Tomorrow, the King will ask the Emperor to grant me and A Ying a marriage. Will you be relieved?"
Mingzhu knelt down again, shedding tears of gratitude, "Thank you, Your Highness. Thank you, Your Highness." She was especially scared when she thought of what she heard in the Imperial Hospital that the eldest lady might not wake up.
Mingzhu thanked the prince from the bottom of her heart.
Now, the Empress Dowager and Lord Rong Xun are both not in the capital, and His Royal Highness Prince Chen is the Director of the Imperial Observatory. He can't do anything, let alone others!
