Chapter 262 Xinrong's Persistence
Chapter 262 Xinrong's Persistence
Seeing Concubine Yu crying, everyone thought she was still angry with Yongqi.
For a moment I didn't know what to say.
Fortunately, Imperial Physician Chang arrived. He took a look at Concubine Yu's condition and breathed a sigh of relief. "That's all right, that's all right. Concubine Yu is no longer seriously ill. I can only prescribe a few prescriptions and take good care of her."
"And the Fifth Prince is still unconscious."
Yongqi is fine. Doctor Chang can wake him up with just a gentle injection.
When Yongqi learned that his mother had woken up, the first thing he did was to get out of bed and see her.
Unfortunately, as soon as he stepped out of bed, he fell to the ground because of the severe pain in his knee.
The young eunuch was startled and quickly reached out to help him.
Yongqi only felt that his knees were as painful as being pricked by needles, and every step he took felt like someone was cutting his bones with a knife.
But Yongqi didn't care about so many things at this time, he just wanted to see his mother.
Yongqi endured the pain and rushed to Concubine Yu's bedside and knelt down heavily.
"Eniang!"
"Mother, you finally woke up. I know I was wrong. You can't abandon me."
At this time, the Fifth Prince was crying like a three-year-old child. All he could think about was that he could not lose his mother.
Seeing Yongqi crying so sadly, Concubine Yu also shed tears.
The mother and son hugged each other and cried. Those who didn't know the truth would think that the mother and son had suffered a great injustice.
But this tender scene lasted less than half a moment before Concubine Yu spoke, "Yongqi, marry Xinrong."
Hearing this, Yongqi's crying stopped abruptly.
Xinrong's tears rolled down. Sometimes she didn't understand why Concubine Yu was so persistent.
After a moment of silence, Yongqi nodded, "Okay, okay, I'll marry her, Mother. I'll marry her, Mother. It's all my fault. I'm unfilial. I'll marry her."
Yongqi was in great pain, but for his mother's sake, he had no choice but to marry Xinrong.
Everyone gave time to Concubine Yu and Yongqi. The mother and son had experienced life and death separation, and they must have a lot to say at this time.
Xinrong followed Jingyan and Qing'er back to the Cining Palace.
The Empress Dowager had just learned that Concubine Yu had woken up.
She was in a somewhat cheerful mood.
"Xinrong, I haven't had the chance to tell you this. Now that things have come to this, why don't you just call it quits on your marriage to Yongqi? After all, I won't let you down."
Xinrong was somewhat touched that she did not expect that Karl Lagerfeld would take the initiative to propose to cancel their engagement.
The old lady really did this for her own good.
But Xinrong has decided to continue marrying Yongqi.
"Old Buddha, Xinrong feels that although the Fifth Prince was somewhat reckless before, he should be much more mature after experiencing these things. Xinrong is willing to continue to marry him."
Unexpectedly, Xinrong actually thought this way. The old Buddha was a little shocked: "Xinrong, have you really thought it through? The fifth prince's future is basically ruined."
Xinrong smiled. Originally, she also had great ambitions. She wanted to bet on a promising prince and sit on the highest position. But now Xinrong no longer had these ideas.
During these days in the palace, Xinrong also understood a lot. Being a leisurely princess might be more comfortable and free than being a queen.
Moreover, given Concubine Yu's love for her and her father's status, he would definitely not let her suffer any grievances, which was very good.
Why be greedy?
Thinking of this, Xinrong smiled and nodded, his eyes full of determination.
Seeing Xinrong's attitude, the old lady didn't say anything more. After all, it is best to decide one's own destiny.
The four of them had dinner together. Concubine Yu woke up, and Xinrong was about to return home to get married. Fortunately, there were still more than ten days before the wedding, so it was not too hasty.
Jingyan and Qing'er had been listening quietly to what the old lady and Xinrong were saying.
Neither of them understood why Xinrong was so determined to be with the Fifth Prince.
If it were before, the Fifth Prince had deceived everyone with his glamorous appearance, but now the rottenness inside has been completely exposed, why is Xinrong still becoming more determined?
Even if Karl Lagerfeld himself said it, it wouldn't hold true.
Jingyan was puzzled. Xinrong's inexplicable possessiveness and love for Yongqi in the play was very strange. Is this the power of the plot?
But the plot has gone so far off track that even his own mother doesn't recognize him.
However, no matter how biased the plot was, Concubine Yu still hanged herself. Wouldn’t the key plot change?
Wouldn’t that mean the Fifth Prince will elope with Xiaoyanzi?
Jingyan was eating the rice in the bowl, thinking about how the subsequent plot would develop. It seemed like Xiang Fei would be let go and escape later?
But Erkang is dead.
It's really puzzling.
"what are you thinking?"
Qing'er stepped on Jingyan under the table.
She came back to her senses and saw that the three of them were looking at her. Jingyan laughed awkwardly: "What's wrong? Eat."
The old lady shook her head helplessly: "This girl doesn't eat well, and I don't know what she is thinking. I just said that you and Xinrong will leave the palace together later. Send Xinrong back first and then return to the mansion. By the way, thank Guanbao and his wife for me. Our Xinrong has worked so hard these days."
Jingyan nodded and said, "Leave it to your granddaughter. I will definitely send Xinrong home safely."
It was obviously not the Empress Dowager's style to just say thank you verbally, so when Xinrong left, he was followed by a long list of rewards.
Although Xinrong is determined to marry the Fifth Prince, it is possible that Guanbao and his wife are already dissatisfied with this unfilial son.
This matter has wronged Xinrong after all, so the old lady still has to express her gratitude.
At the very least, we must make it clear to Guan Bao that if Xinrong marries the Fifth Prince, the Empress Dowager will definitely protect her.
The three of them sat together in the carriage. Jing Yan was a little curious, "Xinrong, I see that you and Cai Lian seem to have a pretty good relationship these days."
Speaking of Cailian, Xinrong smiled and said, "Cailian is efficient and methodical in her work, and she is also a good person."
I didn’t expect Xinrong to have such a high opinion of Cailian.
Jingyan and Qing'er didn't often go to Yonghe Palace and didn't know Cailian very well, but in their impression, Cailian didn't seem like the kind of person who would stay calm and avoid trouble.
As if seeing through the two people's hesitation to speak, Xinrong felt that there was nothing to be said, so he said: "I know Cailian's identity. I just think that if I marry Yongqi in the future, it would be nice to have Cailian to support me."
The main reason was that Cai Lian disliked the Fifth Prince just as much as she did. Xinrong felt that their goals should be the same. They all wanted to live a peaceful and stable life. Wouldn't one more friend be better than one more enemy?
"With Cailian's help?" Jingyan's tone suddenly became higher because of shock.
She thought Xinrong didn't know what was going on with Cailian. Did she now accept that Cailian would enter the mansion?
Xinrong smiled and nodded: "Yes."
Unfortunately, Concubine Yu was probably determined to give Yongqi a concubine, otherwise if she could let Cailian be her maid, Cailian might be happier.
But being a master is also good. At least there are people serving you. It would be even better if the Fifth Prince could remain a virgin for Xiaoyanzi.
"It's fine if you accept Xiaoyanzi, but can you also accept Cailian without any hesitation?" Qing'er asked in a low voice.
"To me, there is no difference between one and two."
"I have to say, you have such a broad vision." Jingyan and Qing'er already admire Xinrong very much.
Xinrong smiled and shook her head: "Our original needs are different. I think it's good now. Wait a few days, Yan'er, you will call me sister-in-law."
Jing Yan nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, I don't bother to call Fifth Prince brother, but I will definitely call you sister-in-law."
