An Yi straightened her chest, looking like "I'll take care of everything".
Ling Qingwan was amused by An Yi's appearance.
It turned out that she knew she was a princess. In front of Ling Qingwan, she didn't put on the airs of a princess at all.
After An Yi left, Ling Qingwan couldn't help but think about what she said about Song Zhiqing.
Ling Qingwan knew Song Zhiqing's character very well. After all, she had been his bedmate for a period of time in her previous life.
In his previous life, Song Zhiqing liked Ling Chuchu so much that he could be said to be crazy about her. Ling Qingwan was puzzled that after living a new life, Song Zhiqing seemed to no longer have the same feelings for Ling Chuchu as before.
Not only that, he also tried to please her in every way.
Ling Qingwan thought about it carefully, and it was indeed the first time she met Song Zhiqing after her rebirth that Song Zhiqing was particularly attentive to her.
She really couldn't figure out what Song Zhiqing was going to do.
However, it didn't matter if she couldn't figure it out. Ling Qingwan didn't care which woman Song Zhiqing liked. At least she was sure that Song Zhiqing suddenly cheered up and started to work hard, which basically proved one thing.
That means Song Zhiqing was seriously preparing for the struggle for power in the court.
In his previous life, Wei Xun died early, so later on, Song Zhiqing only had to fight Song Zhicheng alone. Song Zhicheng was cunning and had a strong backing, but he still couldn't beat Song Zhiqing.
In the end, Song Zhiqing destroyed the General's Mansion in one fell swoop, stepped on the corpses of Shen Chengzhou, Ling Xiao and Ling Qingwan, and ascended the throne of the Emperor of Dai Viet.
Memories flooded into her mind one after another, and Ling Qingwan couldn't help but shudder.
Even now, she still felt a chill down her spine because of the cruelty of Song Zhicheng and Ling Chuchu.
The person she loved had planned to kill everyone around her, forcing her to watch the people she cared about the most die one by one, but she was powerless to do anything. In the end, he ruthlessly abandoned her like an ant.
"Ling Qingwan, look, all the people who were kind to you are dead."
"Why aren't you dead yet?"
"You should be dead, you know that?"
With a "bang", the teacup in his hand fell to the ground, making a crisp sound.
Nanny Park and Qiao'er came in after hearing the noise, and couldn't help but worry when they saw this scene.
One of them wiped the tea stains off Ling Qingwan's clothes, while the other quickly cleaned up the broken teacup, accidentally hurting Ling Qingwan.
Fortunately, Ling Qingwan had been serving the tea for a long time, so it was already cold and not hot.
"Miss, are you worried about something?" Nanny Park couldn't help but ask.
Ling Qingwan has been in a bad mood these days.
"I was just thinking about some things." Ling Qingwan said to Madam Park. "But they are just small things, Madam, don't worry about me."
Nanny Park sighed.
How can we not worry about her when she is like this
In the end, it was Ling Qingwan who coaxed Nanny Pu and Qiao'er until they calmed down before leaving.
Ling Qingwan didn't feel tired, but happy instead.
Everyone around her regards her affairs as top priority. Seeing that she is in a bad mood, they become so anxious. This is her honor.
At night, just when Ling Qingwan was about to go to bed, Wei Xun came again.
Ling Qingwan was still the same, indifferent to Wei Xun, as if she had no interest in him at all.
"That's not right. Didn't the princess say during the day that when she went to see Miss Ling Er, the lady was still talking and laughing?" The servant wondered.
As he spoke, he turned his head and looked towards the door.
Ling Qingwan fell asleep again. Just like last time, Wei Xun and Ling Qingwan only said two or three sentences in total.
"Let's go back first."
After a long time, Wei Xun said heavily.
Ling Qingwan curled up on the bed and heard clearly the conversation between Wei Xun and the servant.
How could she not know that Wei Xun was depressed, but she was also feeling bad now.
Ling Qingwan was indeed in a bad mood, and it was all because of Wei Xun.
She was still thinking about how Sima Yan had lowered herself to ask to do something else.
The thought that even if she married into the palace and became a princess, he would have a concubine and even many concubines in the future.
Ling Qingwan has been thinking about a question these days: whether she is willing to serve the same husband as other women, and whether she is willing to share Wei Xun's favor with others.
She didn't want to, but she had no choice.
In an era when many men have three wives and four concubines, Ling Qingwan's demand for lifelong love with one person is undoubtedly an outlier.
After thinking for a long time, Ling Qingwan still couldn't figure it out.
Gradually, her head began to feel dizzy, and then she lost consciousness.
After a few days of peace, news suddenly came from the General's Mansion that Xiaobao had a high fever and was in critical condition.
Ling Qingwan's heart skipped a beat and she immediately asked someone to prepare a carriage so that she could return to the general's mansion to visit Xiaobao as quickly as possible.
The usually quiet East Courtyard was now surrounded by servants. Ling Qingwan lifted her skirt and ran into the room without caring about her image at all.
Xiaobao's whole body was red and cold sweat was coming out of his forehead.
Ling Qingwan touched Xiaobao's cheek with her hand, and it was so hot that she almost subconsciously withdrew her hand.
"What's going on?" Ling Qingwan looked up and asked.
"We servants don't know why, but Xiaobao suddenly started to feel hot. He cried at first, but now he can't even cry out."
Several maids who were responsible for taking care of Xiaobao cried with red eyes and told Ling Qingwan with sobs.
"Hongshang, check." Ling Qingwan ordered Hongshang.
Hong Chang is an excellent doctor and should be able to find out what happened to Xiao Bao.
At this time, Ling Shen was also standing aside, pacing back and forth anxiously.
Nothing can happen to Xiaobao.
Ling Qingwan clenched her hands so tightly that her nails dug into her flesh and she didn't even notice the blood coming from the scratches.
Xiaobao's parents died because of her. She promised Xiaobao's parents that she would raise Xiaobao and protect him.
Nothing can happen to Xiaobao, absolutely not.
Feeling that Ling Qingwan was trembling, Ling Shen patted her shoulder gently, signaling her not to worry too much.
"How about it!"
As soon as she saw Hong Shang coming out, Ling Qingwan immediately stood up and questioned Hong Shang.
Hong Chang's face looked a little strange.
"Miss, I have diagnosed that Xiaobao has... smallpox."
…
"Miss!"
“Wanwan!”
Hongxiu and Ling Shenshi stepped forward together and supported the unconscious Ling Qingwan.
Smallpox is not necessarily fatal, but even if it is mild, many people cannot survive the disease and eventually die. Moreover, Xiaobao is still a child, and his body is more fragile than that of an adult.
When this happened, Ling Shen first asked Hong Chang to find a way to cool Xiao Bao down, and then sealed off the entire East Courtyard, not allowing too many people to approach.
If this disease spreads from one person to another and infects the entire General's Mansion, the consequences will be disastrous.
"Xiaobao!"
When Ling Qingwan woke up, half an hour had passed.
She sat up and the first name she called was Xiaobao.
"Miss, you're awake!"
When Nanny Pu and Qiao'er saw Ling Qingwan wake up, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Where is Xiaobao? How is Xiaobao now?" Ling Qingwan asked.
After saying that, she got up, put on her shoes, and went straight to the east courtyard.
"Miss, don't panic." Qiao'er stood in front of Ling Qingwan.
