Early the next morning, Su Ningxin woke up in Chu Jihan's arms. The sky outside was still only slightly bright, and it seemed that it was still early.
Turning his head to look at Chu Jihan, who was still sleeping, he closed his eyes slightly, his upper and lower eyelashes tangled together, without his usual cynicism, he looked particularly calm and peaceful.
Su Ningxin usually sleeps very well. If no one wakes her up, she can sleep until three o'clock in the morning before waking up. However, Chu Jihan wakes up very early every day and goes out to practice martial arts quietly. Su Ningxin rarely sees her. He looked like he was sleeping soundly.
It was rare for her to wake up so early as she did now. Su Ningxin sighed slightly. Even though she had tried hard to show her calm and calm side, her body could not deceive others. After all, she was still troubled by the whereabouts of Shuanghua and Xiaoan. Can't sleep well.
Chu Jihan woke up because of Su Ningxin's sigh, opened his eyes in confusion, subconsciously held Su Ningxin in his arms, and asked in a slightly hoarse voice, "Would you like some water?"
"Yeah." Su Ning agreed.
Chu Jihan stood up very skillfully and poured a glass of honey water from the table to Su Ningxin. After watching Su Ningxin finish drinking, he put the cup back.
Chu Jihan was in a daze during the whole process, as if these reactions were just out of his instinct.
Su Ning watched with her heart in bed as Chu Jihan returned to the bed, pulled her into his arms, and fell asleep again after a while.
[Perhaps it would not be bad to support each other for a lifetime with him. ] Su Ningxin looked at Chu Jihan's profile and thought silently.
Compared with when she was still a student before time travel, when she only wanted to be with her senior who had a clean and bright white shirt, or when she wanted to live up to her mother's honor after time travel, it seemed that Chu Jihan was more suitable to stay together.
"It would be better if you were a sick person..." Su Ningxin muttered in a low voice, and the second part of the sentence was, "The secret guard is too dangerous, I don't like it." ' Didn't say it out loud.
After muttering, Su Ningxin closed her eyes. Although she couldn't sleep anymore, she accompanied Chu Jihan until it was time for him to practice martial arts.
After breakfast, Su Ningxin and Chu Jihan separated. Chu Jihan had his own affairs to deal with, while Su Ningxin went to the princess's room.
As soon as she reached the corner of the corridor, Su Ningxin saw Concubine Li with a flattering look on her face, swaying towards her unsteadily.
Ahem, in fact, this was the effect of Su Ningxin seeing Concubine Li wearing a uglifying filter. In fact, Concubine Li's expression was just a friendly smile, but it looked a bit fake because she was not sincere.
"Is the Crown Princess here to treat the princess? I didn't expect that the Crown Princess would have such superb medical skills at such a young age."
[How can you say that I have superb medical skills, and all cats and dogs can judge me?]
Su Ning rolled her eyes inwardly and said, "Oh? How can the concubine see that I have superb medical skills? Is the concubine also proficient in medical skills?"
Concubine Li hurriedly retorted, "The Crown Princess is joking, how do I know any medical skills?"
"I'm just saying, what are you so anxious about?" Su Ningxin looked sideways at Concubine Li with innocent eyes, leaving Concubine Li at a loss of what to say.
If it were anyone else, Concubine Li would definitely take out her little notebook and write her down, and then make a careful plan on how to get back.
But for Su Ningxin, she had not yet found out the details of the other party, and she had an intuition that the other party was not an easy person to get along with, so Concubine Li did not dare to act rashly.
Concubine Li had such an intuition, naturally because she went to Prince Lihua yesterday to cry out, saying that her appearance had indeed aged, and that the crown prince and crown prince had treated her like a rough-and-tumble mother-in-law.
She has always tried this trick with great success, but last night when the Crown Princess faced the prince's questioning, she said lightly,
"Concubine, please keep your voice down. The mother-in-law cannot bear the noise. She is at her most vulnerable now. If she is disturbed, if she cannot wake up... Ah, I said the wrong thing. I hope your father will not blame me. I am too I’m worried about my mother-in-law.”
Then he knelt at the foot of the stairs for half the night, completely humiliated.
However, Concubine Li is very aware of current affairs. She feels that for such a powerful person as the Crown Prince, there is no need to be an enemy of her. The right way is to win over her first.
After all, there are some mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law who can get along well with each other, especially the prince who has an incurable disease. The princess's whole heart is devoted to him, so naturally she cannot bear to see her daughter-in-law do anything bad.
The two people will definitely have irreconcilable conflicts in the near future. Compared with the stubborn princess, the smart and ruthless Crown Princess will naturally have a better chance of winning.
When the time comes to reap the benefits, wouldn't it be easy to get rid of the princess, his lifelong rival
Su Ningxin didn't know what kind of bright future Concubine Li planned. She just felt that since the other party was sensible and didn't say anything, she would be happy and free. She was always impatient to deal with these fools who thought they were smart.
Su Ningxin knocked on the door and then pushed open the door of the princess's room. Inside, the prince was guarding the princess's bedside, while Hongzhu was brewing medicine outside like yesterday.
"Ning'er is here," the prince's eyes immediately lit up when he saw Su Ningxin, "Come and see your mother and concubine. Yesterday you said she would wake up this morning, why hasn't she woke up yet?"
[I really don’t know if you are really anxious or if you are pretending to be used to it. Even you believe it. While you are deeply in love with your mother and concubine, you are flirting with Concubine Li at the same time. You don’t feel tired.]
Although she was thinking like this, Su Ningxin still went up to check her pulse without hesitation, and then said warmly, "Father, don't worry, my mother's condition has improved a lot. Now let her rest more, it will be good for her and the fetus." OK."
"That's good, that's good, let Yuan'er sleep a little longer." King An looked happy, which made Su Ning want to go up and give him a kick.
In order to avoid this happening, Su Ningxin did not look at Prince An. Instead, she glanced at Concubine Li when the fetus was mentioned and observed her expression.
But what surprised Su Ningxin was that when Concubine Li heard about the princess's fetus, she didn't feel jealous or resentful. On the contrary, she had been calm all the time, as if she didn't care at all.
This made Su Ning feel a little confused. Could it be that she had guessed wrong
She had always felt that it was strange that her mother-in-law had been infertile for twenty years, and it was also strange that Concubine Li suddenly appeared at this time. Moreover, in several places, Concubine Li was obviously lying, which made Su Ningxin have to suspect that there was something behind these things. her participation.
But now her expression seemed to lack motivation. She didn't seem to have the most common and reasonable jealousy in the backyard.
"Hongzhu! You can't even boil medicine?" Su Ningxin suddenly spoke, surprising everyone in the room.
Su Ningxin's voice was not sharp, but very calm. It sounded majestic to others, and Hongzhu was so frightened that she immediately knelt down.
