Chapter 561.2: sent flying

He paused, taking out the jade pendant from within his sleeve. This is your jade pendant, remember?

Su Xi-er had been able to tell that the jade pendant was invaluable, but she was not cognizant of it because she wasnt the original owner.

Du Ling dotes on his younger sister so much, yet, Im not his real sister.

Ill help you put it on. This is an ornament that represents your ident.i.ty; you must wear it at all times. Du Ling bent down and tied the exquisite jade pendant around her neck with a fiery red string.

I realised that your body is cold, but this is a warming jade. Do you feel it? The corners of Du Lings mouth rose as he stared at her.

A trace of warmth began to emanate from her neck, and Su Xi-er nodded at him.

Your Elder Brother will bring you back to the Western Region and give you everything an imperial princess is supposed to have perpetual glory. You will no longer be a lowly maidservant from the Palace Side Quarters; you are the n.o.blest imperial princess of the Western Region. Du Ling grabbed her hand, worrying since it was still ice cold.

Su Xi-er needed a few more days before she could speak, so she was only able to nod. However, she still felt a trace of regret in her heart.

Du Ling has searched for his younger sister for so many years, but even if he has found her, its no longer the same person.

If he finds out one day that his real sister has died, and that the person occupying her body is Nanzhaos Eldest Imperial Princess, Ning Rulan, what would his reaction be? Will he invite a Buddhist priest to expel my soul?

Outside the palace, Pei Qianhao kept knitting his brow as he listened to the imperial physicians report. He didnt dare to speak a word more than necessary, s.h.i.+vering as he watched Pei Qianhaos frosty visage.

What if Pei Qianhao is angry and sends me flying with no regard for my position?

It should eventually improve after continuous years of nouris.h.i.+ng the body. Pei Qianhao finally spoke.

The imperial physician trembled as he stammered. Its hard to say. The Princess Consorts const.i.tution was already cold, and now she has suffered again. Umma word of advice from this subject: if you value descendants, youll need to take in a secondary consort. As soon as he finished speaking, the imperial physician noticed Pei Qianhaos expression turn absolutely stormy.

But I havent even said the most important part yet

Hence, he decided to pluck up his courage. Prince Hao, most women who have a cold const.i.tution wont live long.

In less than a second, the imperial physician felt a sharp pain in his abdominal area as he was sent flying through the air, landing face-flat on the ground.

My poor old bones; an injury to the tendons and bones will last a hundred days! I cant even move!

Two guards from the Prince Hao Residence immediately came forward and carried the imperial physician out of the repose palace.

This imperial physician doesnt know the weight of the Princess Consort in Prince Haos heart. It wouldve been bad enough if he just said it would be hard to give birth to children. To think he even said that the Princess Consort will have a short lifespan!

Prince Hao has already let him off easy by only kicking him!

Pei Qianhaos expression was terrible, and only after spending several minutes calming himself was he able to return it to normal. Once he got back inside the room, his eyes landed briefly on Du Ling and Su Xi-ers intertwined hands.

Du Ling, stay here with Xi-er. Ill go and prepare some soup. He bent down and patted Su Xi-ers cheeks. Dont worry, the imperial physician said that you just need some nourishment for your body to recover.

Pei Qianhao stood up and pa.s.sed Du Ling some burn ointment. Help Xi-er apply this to the burns on her arm.

Du Ling nodded; the two of them had come together because of one woman.

Ill apply it for you. Frown if its painful. Du Ling softly coaxed in a voice that even he himself cringed at.

Su Xi-er nodded and held out her arm. To Du Lings surprise, her arm was also cold to the touch!
