forced to fall in love

Chapter 28 Princess Consort

========================

The coolness gradually spread to the limbs and bones. Lingxi instinctively wanted to stop the ladle in Zhao Qingsui's hand, and even went to the side to cover her with a hand stove, but Zhao Qingsui's cold eyes made Lingxi stay where she was. .

It wasn't until Su Rui came back with the imperial doctor that the hand slowly let go of the water ladle. It seemed like a futile effort, the water ladle hit the water surface with a muffled sound, and quickly bubbled and sank.

Lingxi and Zhao Sheng were placed in two separate rooms, one is to let them have a good rest, and the other is that the injuries of the two are different, and they need to be taken care of separately, and this matter is an impressive challenge to Huang Wei, and the news needs to be closed .

Zhao Qingsui stood on the highest step in the main hall, with one hand behind her back. Although she was wearing a gorgeous dress, she could vaguely see the dark color of her sleeve robe soaked in water.

The draft gushed in from Lingxi's side, passed through her fingers and continued forward.

The luxuriant light on Zhao Qingsui's side swayed gently with the wind, and the candle light was pale yellow, but it still couldn't hide the chill.

Suddenly, Lingxi frowned, she raised her hand to ask the servant to wait, then turned and went back to the main hall.

Lingxi walked around the commander of the imperial guards who was kneeling on the ground, picked up the hand stove from the table where they were sitting before, and bent down to stand below.

"Your Highness, I hope you can take care of your health."

Lingxi held the hand stove in his palms with both hands, pushed it slightly forward, and then said: "With the high commander, I will be able to assist Your Highness to catch the assassin. Your Highness can rest assured."

The person standing on the high hall did not speak for a long time, Lingxi lowered her head, and could only see from the corner of her eye the candlelight melting her figure into the carpet embroidered with red lotus flowers, covering it like a narrow black shadow and continuing to climb the rock And up the road.

The lotus branch bloomed brilliantly and strong, pierced through the shadow and climbed up, but in the next second, it was completely blocked by another black shadow.

"The son-in-law is so courageous, he dared to resist the order of the palace."

The voice suddenly came from in front of Lingxi, and the moment Lingxi withdrew his peripheral vision, he saw the sleeve robe of the person standing on the high hall floated in front of his eyes.

"Your Majesty dare not, please appease your anger."

The hand stove held in the palm was suddenly taken away by someone, and the palm lost weight, but Lingxi still maintained that posture.

Zhao Qingsui caressed the furnace wall of the hand stove with her fingertips. There was only a weak temperature left in the hand stove. When she went down and explored the bottom of the furnace, there was a little residual heat hidden. Spreading, his eyes seemed to sweep Lingxi's still open palm.

Yu Wen might be the temperature of his palm, Zhao Qingsui thought so.

"High commander."

"Chen is here!"

"No matter what, today's matter, I want to see people when I live, and I want to see corpses when I die!"

"Yes!"

There were clearly majestic words with a piercing chill in his ears, and when the words fell into Lingxi's ears, for some reason, Lingxi felt a little warm.

This strange emotion instantly spread from the brain to the whole body, and even the fingertips were numb.

"My son-in-law, you are guilty."

A faint voice came from in front of him, and Lingxi secretly returned to his senses.

"I'm guilty." She said in a low voice.

Zhao Qingsui's eyes stopped slightly, as if the person kneeling under the bed on the wedding day overlapped with the person in front of her today.

It is obviously a different occasion, different things, but it seems to be the same.

Zhao Qingsui looked at Su Rui, who immediately bowed his head and walked back slowly.

"So, come with me."

"Yes."

Lingxi followed Zhao Qingsui out of the main hall, stepped on the pebbles in the courtyard, stepped on the wooden boards on the lake, and finally walked through a long corridor and entered a remote courtyard.

There are white magnolias planted on both sides of the courtyard, and it is the flowering season now. The white petals on the branches stand tremblingly in the wind, but there are only a few petals under the tree.

Lingxi glanced at the courtyard, and when she turned her head, Zhao Qingsui was standing under the eaves at the top of the stairs looking at her.

The black eyes are like bright Taibai stars in the dark night, shining with light, so dazzling that people can't help but want to get closer.

The scent of flowers instantly rushed to the body, surrounding the two of them.

"Your Highness, Doctor Wang is here."

Su Rui's voice suddenly came from not far behind, and Lingxi lowered her head belatedly.

The people under the eaves also paused for a moment, but quickly covered it up.

"Well, come in."

Lingxi sat on the side, the imperial doctor prescribed medicine for her, Su Rui replaced a new hand stove, Zhao Qingsui sat on Lingxi's side holding the hand stove.

The thick ointment was applied to the wound, and the painful burning sensation seemed to be covered by a layer of film, and even the pain became blurred.

But in the final analysis, Lingxi couldn't tell whether it was the effect of the ointment or the effect of the person beside her.

"Doctor Wang, how is the situation?"

"Returning to Your Highness, fortunately only a few drops were splashed out. After the minister has treated the wound of the son-in-law, as long as you are more careful, you will be fine."

Zhao Qingsui glanced across the wound on the back of Lingxi's hand and said: "What kind of poison is hidden in the wine glass?"

"Returning to Your Highness, the old minister has identified it with everyone in the Imperial Hospital. According to the injury, it may be green vitriol."

Zhao Qingsui narrowed his eyes slightly, and said coldly: "Ridiculous!"

"Your Highness, please calm down."

Physician Wang bent down and knelt below.

The room fell silent for a moment, and no one dared to speak.

Lingxi frowned and thought, but thought of something in vain, and the next second Su Rui's voice sounded outside the door.

"Your Highness, Dali Temple Minister Li Daren is asking to see you."

Zhao Qingsui said indifferently, "Take him to the study first and wait."

"Yes."

The bitter taste of the ointment gradually spread, Zhao Qingsui's frowning brows did not relax for a moment, Lingxi got up and stood in front of her and saluted: "Your Highness, I want to ask His Highness to investigate this case with Master Li, and relieve His Highness' worries .”

Zhao Qingsui's eyes darkened slightly and said: "The son-in-law has forgotten that he is already wearing a sinful body."

"The minister can be punished..."

"presumptuous."

Zhao Qingsui looked up at her, there were faint creases between his frowning brows, his eyes stopped on the back of her hand, and then moved away.

"The sin of the son-in-law can only be pardoned by respecting the doctor's order."

"This matter is up to Mr. Li."

Lingxi wanted to say something, but couldn't say anything for a while.

Zhao Qingsui got up suddenly, "Don't talk about it, Doctor Wang, you continue to take medicine for the son-in-law."

"Yes."

Zhao Qingsui took his peripheral vision away and left.

Lingxi bent down to see Zhao Qingsui off, until the figure disappeared in front of her eyes, and the words whispered in her ear by Wang Taiyi continued to give her medicine, which brought her back to her senses.

"Doctor Wang, what did you say?"

"Ah, son-in-law, the old minister said that His Highness treats you very well."

In an instant, a little numbness on the fingertips swept through the whole body.

Lingxi was left to rest in Zhao Qingsui's courtyard. Without her order, Lingxi did not dare to leave the hospital. As a result, she didn't know what happened to the case outside or what happened to the rest of the people.

The white magnolia flowers in the courtyard were fragrant, and Lingxi sat in the courtyard for too long, and it was a little cool by the wind, but the "culprit" might be her large sleeve robe.

Before, because of washing with water for a long time, the sleeves and robes were also soaked.

Lingxi looked around, and after making sure there was no one there, he sighed secretly.

Forget it.

She went back to the room and closed the doors and windows, took off her sleeve robe, spread it on the table, then took the candle again, trying to dry it by baking it.

The candlelight was flickering and reflected in the eyes, but the outline of Zhao Qingsui gradually emerged in front of Lingxi's eyes.

The dark eyes drew her, but she couldn't move her eyes away.

Then, a voice came from outside the door.

"His Royal Highness, here!"

Lingxi raised his head abruptly, as if awakened with a start.

The outer robe was on the table, and she was only wearing a thin middle coat.

The candlelight was hastily put aside, Lingxi had already put one hand into his outer robe, but at this moment the sound of footsteps outside the door approached.
