The Sickly Scion’s Petite Wife Is Sweet And Cool

402 Accident

Song Jingchen didn’t know that he had been noticed, but even if he knew, he wouldn’t care. Ever since he stepped into the capital, she had been staring at him.

Shen Yijia did not know that she had done something bad by treating someone to fish. The couple sat in the carriage and shared their experiences today.

Hearing that Shen Yijia had met the white-haired man again, Song Jingchen frowned slightly. When he heard that she had treated him to roasted fish, his frown relaxed again.

There was even a smile in the corners of her eyes. Perhaps the capital had one more patient now.

He had seen the man twice. He felt that the man was looking at Shen Yijia as if he was looking at another person through her.

Song Jingchen naturally didn’t think that the white-haired man was old friends with Madam Wang like Shen Yijia did. However, it reminded him of the portrait he saw in the secret room.

His gaze subconsciously fixed on Shen Yijia’s smooth forehead.

Shen Yijia did not know what he was thinking. This was the first time her culinary skills had been recognized. She swayed proudly. “Hubby, I think my culinary skills have improved. I even brought fish back. When we get back…”

Song Jingchen came back to his senses and coughed lightly. “When I get back, I’ll get Mother to make dried fish. I haven’t eaten it in a long time. I want to eat it.”

When Shen Yijia heard Song Jingchen say that he wanted to eat it, she naturally had no objections. She thought for a moment and said, “I brought back a lot. Some of it is for Mother to make dried fish. As for the rest, I…”

“The rest can be made into soybean sauce. Don’t you like it? I remember that Brother Hao and the others like it too.”

Shen Yijia thought of the soybean sauce and rice and smacked her lips. “I’ll listen to you.”

Song Jingchen secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

Just as Song Jingchen had guessed, Xuanyuan Ce had indeed fallen ill. It was partly because of the fish, but the main reason was because of what the abbot had said.

He had been suppressing it with his internal energy, but his breathing became unstable after eating the fish, so the energy exploded.

The Hidden Spirit Temple originally had a master who knew the Qihuang technique. Unfortunately, Xuanyuan Ce was unlucky. He went up the mountain to pick herbs, and his disciple was helpless against Xuanyuan Ce’s situation.

However, he clarified for Shen Yijia that the fish was not poisonous.

Chu Feng naturally knew that it wasn’t poisonous. Didn’t they see that he was fine after eating it? However, he felt that eating too much of that thing was even more terrifying than poison.

The Hidden Spirit Temple could not treat Xuanyuan Ce. Instead, it delayed him for many hours. Chu Feng could only bring his men down the mountain in a hurry to find a doctor.

Xuanyuan Ce woke up from the pain. He opened his eyes in a daze and found himself lying in the carriage.

Looking at the ice mirror so close to him, Xuanyuan Ce rubbed his forehead. He must have bumped into it just now.

Just as she was about to call Chu Feng in, a woman’s stern voice came from outside.

“How do you drive? Do you know who’s sitting in my carriage?”

Xuanyuan Ce frowned and helped the ice mirror sit up. He roughly guessed what was going on.

“Then do you know who’s sitting in my carriage?” Chu Feng sneered. “Hurry up and move aside. If you delay my master’s treatment, your emperor won’t be able to afford it.”

“It was clearly your car that suddenly came towards…”

The woman wanted to argue, but she was interrupted by another female voice.

“Mo Yu.”

The curtain of the carriage was lifted. Ji Yunxi, who was wearing a veil, glanced at the carriage opposite and said indifferently, “Let him pass first.”

This was a crossroads. The two carriages were about to turn in the direction from which the other party had come. The speed of both sides was not slow, so they bumped into each other. Both sides were responsible.

“Young Master…” Mo Yu was a little indignant. She glanced coldly at Chu Feng before driving the carriage to the side of the road.

The other party took a step back. Chu Feng was not an unreasonable person. He cupped his hands at Ji Yunxi. “Thank you.”

With that, he was about to swing his whip.

Ji Yunxi suddenly said, “I heard that your master is sick just now. I know a little about the Qihuang technique. Do you need me to take a look at him?”

Chu Feng was surprised. It was rare for women to know how to treat illnesses, but it was impossible for him to let an unknown person treat his lord. He cupped his hands again and said, “There’s no need to trouble Miss.”

Ji Yunxi nodded and did not say anything else.

She only heard the other party say that even the emperor of Great Xia could not afford it and guessed that the other party’s identity was extraordinary.

She thought that if she could make the other party owe her a favor, she would not lose out no matter if she could use it in the future.

That was why she made this suggestion.

The other party did not believe her. There was no point in saying anything else.

The carriage started moving. When it passed by Ji Yunxi, a corner of the curtain was blown up by the wind.

Xuanyuan Ce glanced at it casually. His heart skipped a beat.

However, Chu Feng had no idea that Xuanyuan Ce had woken up. He was in a hurry to send him to the medical center and drove the carriage away.

Xuanyuan Ce came back to his senses and hurriedly said, “Stop the carriage.”

Chu Feng was delighted. He tightened the reins of his horse and the carriage stopped.

He got into the carriage. “Your Highness, are you alright?”

Xuanyuan Ce ignored him. He lifted the curtain and looked back. The carriage that had stopped at the corner had long disappeared.

“Did you only see that girl’s appearance after you released her?” Xuanyuan Ce asked.

Chu Feng’s expression froze. He felt that His Highness had become stranger and stranger ever since he came to Great Xia.

When he was in the Xuanyuan Kingdom, he did not care about the princess consort in the residence. He had been pure-hearted for more than ten years and had never explained himself even when others thought that he was incapable.

Now, he was staring at everyone he saw.

He had just been tricked by the little girl he had only seen three times, but he did not learn his lesson.

He felt that as His Highness’s trusted aide, he could not let His Highness make the same mistake again. A little girl was enough.

Therefore, he shook his head. “I didn’t see it clearly. She was wearing a veil.”

He was telling the truth.

Xuanyuan Ce glared at him. “I’m asking if there’s a flower bud on that person’s forehead.”

Chu Feng continued to shake his head. His face was neither red nor his heart was beating. His tone was incomparably certain. “No, Your Highness. Were you mistaken?”

Xuanyuan Ce frowned. Did he see wrongly?

Without waiting for him to think it through, Chu Feng said, “You must be hallucinating because your injuries haven’t recovered yet. I’ll bring you to the medical center now.”

Afraid that Xuanyuan Ce would see through his lie, Chu Feng left the carriage.

However, just as he grabbed the reins, he heard Xuanyuan Ce’s voice. “Turn around and go back.”

Chu Feng was speechless.

Reluctantly, he turned his horse around and drove the carriage back at a pace not much faster than a pedestrian walking.

Xuanyuan Ce had internal injuries. Even if he woke up, he did not have much energy, so he did not notice anything wrong.

When the carriage returned to that road, there was no second carriage other than the walking passersby.

As the carriage traveled, Chu Feng said, “Your Highness, I can’t find it.”

This was the main street. There were roads everywhere. Who knew where the carriage had gone?

Xuanyuan Ce pushed himself up and lifted the curtain to take a look. He closed his eyes in disappointment. “Forget it. Perhaps I was wrong. When will the diplomatic party arrive in the capital?”

“In about two days.”

“Let’s go back to the Hidden Spirit Temple.”

“Your Highness, your injuries…”

“It’s fine.”
