Chapter 29: Wanting Her to Be a Princess

waiting for death.”Through the darkest times, he had already made it.Other pain, to him, was nothing.Nangong Ye's gaze upon her made Qingxuan for a moment think of the first rays of dawn.His gentle e...Before he could finish his words, Qingxuan tapped him on the head.

Qingxuan: "I told you, in my eyes, you are not ominous. In this world, if a servant is humble and cowardly, their master will also be looked down upon. If you keep thinking this way about yourself, you'll be dragging down the status of your master."

Yunshen was so startled by Qingxuan's words that he waved his hands repeatedly, and even his speech became stammering.

"Master, I don't mean it that way! I only…"

Qing Xuan wasn't speaking, she just kept looking at him.

Luckily, what Yun Sheng said next did not disappoint her.

Yun Sheng pursed his lips, trying hard to suppress the inferiority in his eyes: "Master is right. Yun Sheng will keep Master's words in mind. From now on, Yun Sheng will no longer say that he is an ominous person."

That's right.

Qingxuan nodded in satisfaction and immediately left the inn.

When she returned to the palace, night had already fallen.

The moment the secret passage opened, Nangong Ye, who was lying on the bed, suddenly opened his eyes.

Qingxuan is back!

In the darkness, a glimmer of excitement sparked in his deep-set eyes.

Although he knew Qingxuan was just going out to buy something, he was still afraid, afraid that Qingxuan would just leave like this and not want him anymore.

Nangong Ye looked in Qingxuan's direction and uttered a hoarse voice: "You're back."

Qingxuan: "I encountered some things today, which delayed my time."

When entering the secret passage, she took out the food she had bought outside from her bracelet beforehand.

"Is something the matter" Nangong Ye's tone became a bit worried, "Was someone bullying you"

Qingxuan hurried back this whole way, and she's thirsty.

However, she placed the food on the table, lit the oil lamp, and then presented the cup of wine to Nangong Ye. "You haven't had a single drop of water or grain all day," she said. "You must be starving and thirsty."

Qingxuan finished speaking and carefully fed Nangong Ye water. Under Nangong Ye's concerned gaze, she told him what had happened at the prime minister's residence today.

"Did you cure the illness of the Prime Minister's wife"

Under Nangong Ye's astonished gaze, she proudly raised an eyebrow at Nangong Ye. Nangong Ye had always doubted her medical skills: "You should believe in my medical skills now, shouldn't you"

Nan Gong Ye's face was still wrapped in bandages, the only indication of his state being his eyes.

At this time, Nangong Ye's expression was quite complicated: "I believe you. So after you heal me, are you planning to leave the palace"

Under Nangong Ye's dimming gaze, Qingxuan nodded. "I married you out of coercion, and you never intended to marry me anyway. When the time comes, just send me a divorce letter. I won't cry like other women who have been abandoned."

Qingxuan finished speaking, and she noticed that Nangong Ye's eyes were fixed on her face, his expression downcast like a discarded puppy.

His voice became low and cautious: "You... can you not leave"

Qingsuan was stunned and didn't understand what Nangong Ye meant. By that time, she had already cured Nangong Ye's illness, and there was nothing more she could do by staying in the Prince's Residence.

Just then, Qingxuan heard him say seriously, "You are my princess, now and forever. If you don't mind me... from now on I will protect you completely. This manor is your home. You needn't bear the bad reputation of being divorced by me and be pointed at by others outside. Nor do you need to live a wandering life outside."

After he finished speaking, he didn't have the courage to look at Qingxuan's reaction.

He didn't know what advantages he had now to keep her. All his promises were only for the future...

If...he doesn't get better, it will delay her.

Qingxuan looked at Nangong Ye's reaction in surprise.

His reaction looks...

Qingxuan: "You wouldn't have fallen for me, would you"

Nan Gong Ye's gaze still hadn't shifted from Qing Xuan's face. He stared at the flickering candlelight on the table.

Under the cover of night, his voice became very soft, very low....

"Nan Gong Ye: "I know now that I'm not worthy of loving anyone, and if you refuse me, I won't blame you."

Nangong Ye when he said this sentence, suddenly a mouthful of indescribable bitterness surged up from his throat.

As the room grew increasingly silent, Nangong Ye felt a growing bitterness within him.

His voice grew increasingly low and choked with emotion: "If only... if I had met you before I was hurt..."

Her heart ached to see Namgung Yeop looking so pitiful.

Nangong Ye's words were interrupted by her.

When you were unharmed, you probably looked down on me, a daughter of a marquess with an ill-gotten title and questionable reputation. If you…

Under Namgung Yeok's pitiful gaze, she actually found it hard to just leave him like that.

As if she had gone to live a carefree life, he became the little dog abandoned by her.

Qingxuan fell silent for a moment before saying, “If you don’t mind my illegitimate status as the eldest daughter, we can always get to know each other. If things go well between us, I might not have to leave the palace.”

Nan Gong Ye's dim eyes suddenly lit up.

Nangong Ye: "Xuan'er, you... are you serious"

Qingxuan was flustered by Nangong Ye's overly scorching gaze.

Just now it was a pitiful little dog's eyes, now this look seems like that of a wolf about to eat people.

Qingxuan's cheeks were slightly flushed.

She avoided Namgung Yeop's gaze and let out a light cough. "Are you hungry I bought you some roasted chicken. It's from Osangju, the one you like."

As soon as Qing Xuan's voice fell, even without turning back, she could feel Nangong Ye's gaze becoming even hotter.

Nan Gong Ye was overjoyed: "You know I love the roast chicken from Wuxiangju"ions."Qingxuan: “The prince is right. Zhang Jin, slap me!”Chun Tao originally wanted to make a good impression in front of the Crown Prince, hoping he would remember her. When Nangong Ye and Ji Qingx...
