Chapter 204 Things are different and people are different.
After everyone left, Chan Yi sat down next to Pei Jin's bed again. She had thought about it just now. This time, she would just regard it as repaying the kindness she had shown him in the past, and all the grudges would be wiped out.
Mo Yan brought the medicine and saw Chan Yi wiping Pei Jin's face. He felt warm in his heart. His young master had finally finally gotten his due, and the young lady was finally willing to stay and take care of him.
"Young Madam, let me do it." Mo Yan said respectfully.
"Call me Miss Xiao." Chan Yi put down the towel in her hand and laid Pei Jin's hand flat.
"Yes, Miss." Mo Yan responded readily. As long as she was willing to stay, it didn't matter what her name was.
That night, Chan Yi took care of Pei Jin without sleep. Seeing how hard she worked, Zhou's mother wanted to replace her, but she refused.
Chan Yi did not meet Doctor Hu and only took care of Pei Jin when no outsiders were around.
Mrs. Wang also came to see Pei Jin several times at night. Seeing that Pei Jin's complexion gradually recovered and his pulse was stable after taking the medicine, she finally felt relieved.
"Miss, you should go and have some rest." Mrs. Wang looked at the dark circles under Chanyi's eyes and felt very sorry for her. She had to take care of Shenzhi and feed An'er by herself. She knew how hard it was without even thinking about it.
"Madam, the young lady has been guarding her for the entire night. I wanted to take her place, but she refused." Mother Zhou's eyes were red. She could not accept the news that her own young master was unconscious for a while, and she had cried several times behind his back.
"Ah, it's all our fault that you have been implicated." Mrs. Wang said, holding Chan Yi's hand.
"Well, I'll go to rest now. After tonight, the prince should be fine. Doctor Hu just came and said that the prince's pulse is stable and he will be fine after a few more days of rest." Chan Yi rubbed her eyes. She felt a little exhausted after a night of careful care.
"Okay, that's great. Miss Chuyue and Qinghe are already waiting for you in the East Courtyard. It's more secluded there, so you can have a good rest." Mrs. Wang nodded, her eyes full of gratitude.
Chan Yi followed Mother Zhou back to the East Courtyard, and Chu Yue hurried over to greet them. On the bed in the inner room, An Er was lying on it playing hide-and-seek with Qing He. When he saw his mother coming, he excitedly shouted at her.
"An'er, be good." Chan Yi saw An'er wearing a cream-colored jacket, raised her head, grinned, and dimples appeared on her round face. She really couldn't love him enough.
"Let the old slave hold him." Mother Zhou said with a smile, "The young master just ate half a bowl of egg custard. He was very well behaved. Go wash up first, the breakfast that Madam brought you is still warm. It's just right for you to eat after washing up."
Chan Yi nodded and followed Chu Yue to wash up. After taking a hot bath, she finally felt refreshed.
When she came out of the bathroom, Qinghe had already prepared breakfast.
Bamboo shoots, fern and shrimp wontons, pheasant shredded congee, stuffed buns, bird's nest three-fresh soup, pork dumplings, egg pancakes, as well as Huixiangzhai's mung bean and osmanthus cake and lotus leaf beef patties.
Chan Yi always likes to have some soup for breakfast. Maybe because she is hungry, she eats very quickly. These breakfasts are all prepared to her liking.
After eating breakfast and feeding An'er, Chanyi was afraid that Qinghe would get indigestion if she slept at this moment. Seeing that the child in her arms had fallen asleep, she took Qinghe to the pavilion on the other side of the lotus pond.
Since she became pregnant, she has been living in Zhuxiang Garden. When she has nothing to do, she always likes to go to the high pavilion and lean on the railing to look at the distant scenery.
Walking through the long corridor, the air is filled with the fresh scent of aquatic plants beside the lotus pond. Climbing up the high pavilion and looking far into the distance, you can see the magnificent scenery of most of the capital city.
Things are people and nothing is done, and tears shed first.
Chan Yi suddenly thought of this sentence, and every bit of the past slowly unfolded like a movie scene. The past that she thought she had long forgotten was already deeply engraved in her memory. It turned out that the deliberate avoidance did not mean that they had really been erased from her heart.
Qinghe stood quietly by the side, the breeze gently blowing Chanyi's light blue skirt, the sleeves dancing in the wind, like a fairy descending to the earth. She couldn't help but stare in amazement, her own girl was really outstanding in temperament and beautiful like a fairy.
No wonder Prince Pei and the Fourth Prince fell in love with the girl at first sight. Who could not be attracted by such a beautiful and elegant woman? Even she and Chu Yue, the two maids who had only followed the girl for a few months, had already been conquered by her.
"Why are you looking at me like an idiot?" Chanyi suddenly turned around and found Qinghe staring at her in a trance. She couldn't help but feel a little funny.
"Miss, you are so beautiful." Qinghe tilted her head to look at Chanyi and said, "If I were a man, I would also fall in love with you."
"Silly girl, are you thinking about getting married?" Chan Yi tapped her nose and smiled, "Tell me, do you have a crush on someone?"
"Young lady, you are making fun of me again." Qinghe lowered her head shyly and said, "I will not marry. I will follow you for the rest of my life."
"Don't say that too early. One day you might cry and ask me to let you get married." Chan Yi said with a smile.
As she walked down, she looked at the sparkling lake in the distance. Although she was smiling, a trace of sadness rose in her heart for some reason.
When the old Taoist priest from Qingcheng Mountain comes back, he should be fine, right? When he is fine, everything will be settled, right?
Now, His Majesty's health has gradually returned to normal, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince still holds the power of regent. His Majesty, who is in his prime, may not have too much suspicion about his legitimate son, but he cannot resist the fact that those court officials have different ideas.
Chan Yi didn't dare to think further, she could only pray that the government would not be too turbulent. She always felt that Pei Jin was very strange during this period, and there was always a trace of sadness in his eyes. There were some things he wanted to tell her but he seemed to be hesitant.
She knew that the world was not as stable as it seemed, and that dangers were lurking everywhere. Pei Jin might be the fuse that triggered these dangers.
Chan Yi walked down from the high pavilion slowly, and the waves in her heart gradually calmed down. Since she had chosen to stay and take care of him, she should not think about other things. After all, An'er was Pei Jin's flesh and blood. If he met with misfortune, those people would probably not let An'er go either. Thinking of this, Chan Yi could not help but tremble all over.
Although Chan Yi had been resting all morning, she had not actually fallen asleep. When she woke up dazedly, Mother Zhou brought a piece of news that was hard to say whether it was good or bad: Pei Jin had woken up once, but soon fell into a coma again.
Chan Yi carried An Er back to Pei Jin's bed. Mo Yan was standing there alone, and when he saw them coming, he quickly stood up and tried to quietly make way.
"Mo Yan, let me ask you, why are you the only one left here? Where are the others?" Chan Yi asked.
"Well, Miss, I don't know. I only obey the master's orders." Mo Yan lowered his head and answered in a low voice.
"Okay, then tell me when he woke up?" Chan Yi put An'er next to Pei Jin and asked in a low voice.
"Half an hour ago." Mo Yan glanced at the bed and replied.
When An'er saw someone lying on the bed, he screamed excitedly. The little baby thought that the adults were teasing him, and he climbed onto Pei Jin's belly with a giggle.
