Chapter 136: Chapter 135: Moved by Her Own Words
Rong Ling, because of his poor health, couldn’t drink the medicine too quickly, so he could only sip it little by little.
Feng Qing watched him drinking the medicine with such graceful demeanor, even though it was bitter, he did not frown at all.
Seeing this, Feng Qing couldn’t help but mischievously think, maybe I should add a bit more Coptis tomorrow to make it unbearably bitter for him.
However, seeing this man in such a frail state, she felt a bit reluctant. Regardless, this Lord has contributed to Dayan.
If in the future the Little Emperor misgoverns Dayan, he would still have to step in, so perhaps she shouldn’t torment him too much.
After administering the medicine, Feng Qing began to perform acupuncture on Rong Ling.
Rong Ling quietly half-lay on the edge of the bed, allowing Feng Qing to perform acupuncture.
In the room, everyone else had withdrawn, leaving only Rong Ling and Feng Qing.
Busy with the acupuncture, Rong Ling leisurely remarked, "You should learn to serve this Prince in the future. As the main wife, if you can’t even serve your own husband well, won’t it be a joke if word gets out?"
Feng Qing’s hand trembled with the needle, almost going off course, as she suddenly realized that Rong Ling seemed to truly intend for her to become the main wife of the Prince Yong Mansion.
But she didn’t want to be the main wife of the Prince Yong Mansion, nor did she want to share a husband with so many women. Just thinking about it was frightening.
But Rong Ling was so determined, how could she persuade him otherwise?
While contemplating, Feng Qing casually said, "Prince, actually I am not worthy of you, Prince, I?"
Saying this, she seemed to lower her head slightly in sadness, so Rong Ling would see her as heartbroken. Then, before Rong Ling could speak, she quickly said, "So Prince, you should let me leave the mansion."
"If I became the main wife of the Prince Yong Mansion, firstly, my self-esteem would suffer, and I wouldn’t be able to associate with other ladies in the Capital City. Secondly, you would become the laughingstock of the noble families in the Capital City."
"Prince, for your sake, you should let me leave the Prince Yong Mansion. I don’t desire to serve by your side nor the riches and power; I only wish to watch you from afar. As long as you live well, I will be happy."
By the end of this speech, Feng Qing wasn’t sure if anyone else was moved, but she surely moved herself, letting fall two tears.
Unfortunately, the man above her did not cooperate at all, looking down at her with a calm face, saying, "Why hasn’t this Prince felt your self-esteem issues then?"
Feng Qing felt stifled, her vision darkening; she had performed all this, and he hadn’t gotten into the act at all—what a shame.
"Prince, some self-esteem issues are internal, you just can’t see them. Look at my face, wouldn’t that make me insecure?"
Rong Ling looked at Feng Qing’s face and certainly couldn’t see any reason for her not to feel insecure.
"Your face certainly makes it easy to feel insecure."
Feng Qing internally sneered coldly twice, but her face was filled with sorrowfulness, "That’s why I can’t stay in the position of Princess Yong, please let me leave."
Rong Ling glanced at Feng Qing’s face, wanting to say he didn’t mind, but it was hard to be straightforward with such a face.
Rong Ling then thought of another issue, if they were to consummate the marriage, could he face such a face?
However, remembering Feng Qing repeatedly saving him, Rong Ling felt this flaw was bearable, and most of the time, he could ignore the marks on her face.
"Don’t worry, as long as this Prince doesn’t mind, it doesn’t matter what others think."
Hearing his words, Feng Qing instantly wanted to punch him, "You don’t mind, but I mind, okay?"
However, having gone this far with her act, she couldn’t stop performing.
"Prince, I don’t want you to lose face. For you, I am willing to endure hardships and suffering, just so you remain untroubled."
