Meeting her gaze, Huangfu Lingyao trembled!
Offending the Empress was not a concern, but he couldn’t afford to offend his wife!
He immediately said, “Wife is busy! How about this, Wife, you can leave the palace during the day to do your tasks and come back at night?”
Empress,
Liu Shimei,
So, why did she need to come to the palace at night?
Under the strong insistence of the silly son, even if there wasn’t much point in coming to the palace at night, Liu Shimei agreed.
There was no choice. Normally, she would agree to his requests like this, and besides, he was injured because of her.
Now with his left shoulder and right palm injured, he needed help even to eat. Liu Shimei volunteered to feed him breakfast in the palace and promised to come to the palace later to feed him dinner.
Seeing her make such arrangements, Huangfu Quan felt somewhat relieved about his silly son.
No matter how foolish the son was, he was still his son. It was because of his pitiful state that Huangfu Quan was more inclined to indulge him. Seeing his son with a wife who took care of him so well, the father’s heart felt at ease.
But while the Emperor was content, the Empress was not.
Although she didn’t show it on her face, Liu Shimei sensed that something was amiss!
After the Empress left, Liu Shimei sat on the edge of the bed and asked, “Lingyao, are there people in Deer Seeking Hall who are good to you?”
Actually, what she wanted to ask was: Is there anyone you can trust?
Huangfu Lingyao glanced at her, pursed his lips, and remained silent.
Just this one glance, and Liu Shimei felt like her heart had been tightly squeezed!
It hurt!
She sighed and said, “I’ll let Lian Qiao take care of you. I’ll also ask Lu Ying to stay and help you with your baths and such.”
“Wife, you’re so kind!” the silly son immediately beamed with joy!
In the palace or at the mansion, the situation remained the same. So, he wasn’t allowed to go to Fusheng Pavilion, and he wasn’t allowed to recuperate at the Liang family’s residence. It didn’t matter where he was.
Liu Shimei sighed and said, “What’s so kind about this? All of this… it’s what I should do.”
As his fiancee, the person he risked his life to protect, if she couldn’t even do this, wouldn’t that be heartless?
Huangfu Lingyao looked at her with a smile, not saying anything aloud, but in his heart, he thought, ‘Mu Jiangli isn’t wrong. My wife is sincere to me. She dares to accompany me through danger, even in the face of great risks. But the moment I think about telling her about my act of feigning ignorance, my heart panics.’
Well, forget it. Let’s take it slow!
If there was a suitable opportunity, he would think about how to tell her.
“Then, you stay here. I’ll make some arrangements. As for you, you can rest now.” Liu Shimei left some instructions for Lian Qiao, “Lian Qiao, you understand how to take care of the injured. Stay here.”
“Yes.” Lian Qiao complied.
Although Huangfu Lingyao was reluctant to let her go, he couldn’t hinder her from pursuing her career. He could only agree.
But, even though he agreed, he couldn’t help but repeatedly remind her, “Wife, if you see the Crown Prince in the palace, don’t talk to him!”
Liu Shimei,”…”
She fell silent for a moment and then said, “How can you be so sure that I will definitely meet His Highness the Crown Prince?”
Huangfu Lingyao thought, ‘Is there even a need to say? Just because you won’t go find him doesn’t mean he won’t come to find you!’
But he said, “Anyway, just don’t talk to him. I don’t like you talking to him!”
“So, if I do meet the Crown Prince, I should still pay my respects, right?” Liu Shimei asked straightforwardly.
Indeed, she hadn’t done anything wrong, so there was no reason for her to run away if she encountered the Crown Prince, right?
Huangfu Lingyao was momentarily speechless, snorted, and looked very displeased.
Liu Shimei smiled faintly and said, “Alright, I’ll leave the palace first. I’ll arrange things as soon as possible and come back to accompany you during your recovery, okay?”
Hearing her words, Huangfu Lingyao naturally agreed, “Yes!”
Leaving the Deer Seeking Hall, Liu Shimei hadn’t expected that her silly dog was such a jinx!
