Chapter 106B: Nangong Qing returns
Totally ignoring Wang Xue Ru’s obsequious smile, he lifted the hem of his robe as he sat down and looked icily at Luo Qing Shuang, “This Prince had told you long ago, for you to stay in the palace to accompany Imperial Mother but not only you not heed my advice, you even made your own decision to return, are you trying to spoil This Prince’s plan?”
Totally not expecting Nangong Chen to be so upset, Luo Qing Shuang was gobsmacked as she immediately went up to him and acted coyly, “Chen, don’t be angry. I just thought that Mother might not be used to it at home, hence I came back to keep her company.....”
Before she could even finish her sentence, she was cut off by Nangong Chen, “What’s there to be not used to! Prince’s Mansion is such a big place and there are even people to wait on her, what are you worried about? No matter how not used to she is, your status is different now, unlike the past so you should exercise restraint and stop trying to grow come baby moths out!”
An unreserved range of words made Wang Xue Ru’s face turned red then white, but there was nothing that she could say at all.
On the surface, she was Nangong Chen’s mother-in-law, but she totally didn’t dare to put on any mother-in-law airs! If it wasn’t for Nangong Chen’s consent, she might not even have a place to go to. Although her daughter is married to him, but even if she is pregnant, she still only has the title of Side Consort. If she gives birth to a daughter, her hopes of becoming the Prince Consort would probably be just a dream!
“Yes.... What the Fifth Prince said is correct.” Wang Xue Ru stammered this sentence after some time and hurriedly left dejectly.
Sweeping a look at her departing figure, Nangong Chen said apathetically, “Qing Shuang, listen properly. Now that you’re pregnant, other than entering the palace to accompany the Imperial Mother, you should not be doing anything else. Especially to go against your sister! Now that she’s married to Nalan Ye, she’s not just your sister. Even if I were to meet her, I have to be more polite and if you dare to spoil my plan, don’t blame This Prince for becoming hostile towards you!”
Ever since she became pregnant, Nangong Chen seldom lectured her with a black face. Luo Qing Shuang’s heart turned icy cold but she totally didn’t dare to show her feelings. This man was no longer the man in the past who whispered sweet nothings to her, not to mention saying that he would love her forever. The Nangong Chen now had his heart filled with gaining imperial power and even if she was now pregnant with his child, if she made a slight mistake, he would not give her any face as he hollered at her.
Perhaps men were all the same, country was forever more important than beauty!
Luo Qing Shuang lowered her head, not daring to explain herself, “Yes, I know.”
......
After a busy day, she had finally met with Old Madame Luo and Hongyu and when it was a quarter of an hour to 5pm, Luo Qing Luan and Nalan Ye then bade farewell and returned back to Prince Chu’s Mansion.
The butler had been waiting since some time ago and he hurried up to welcome his Master into the residence. On the streets, the hurried sound of horse’s hooves was heard from a distance away and closing in as though something urgent had cropped up. Luo Qing Luan couldn’t help but stopped as she looked towards the sound when she saw a maroon red coloured horse speeding over. On the back of the horse was a man who was travel-worn with a pale expression, as though he would fall down any second.
“Shhhh......” The man tugged the reins tightly and the horse gave a miserable cry at its front hooves raised high up and it finally stopped.
The man jumped down from the horse and at the same time, the horse couldn’t hold on any further as it slumped down.
By now, Luo Qing Luan finally saw the person who had arrived was actually Nangong Chen. His entire body was trembling as though he wasn’t able to stand properly. A pair of red pupils laid intently on her face, as though he didn’t recognise her at all. If it wasn’t for the fact that they were acquainted to each other, everyone around the Prince’s mansion and Nalan Ye would probably thought that she and Nangong Chen had some deep feud and he was here to assassinate her.
“Your Highness, haven’t you gone to the border.....”
Luo Qing Luan had not even finished her words when the latter only shouted out one sentence, “Young Miss Luo.....” Later on, he totally lost strength and fell unconscious immediately.
“Things are bad, His Highness has fainted!”
All the men from Prince Chu’s mansion were in a flurry as they carried Nangong Qing into the Prince’s mansion. Butler personally went to look for a doctor. Luo Qing Luan was just thinking if she should personally take a look at Nangong Qing when Nalan Ye moved slightly and pulled on to her, “No need to worry, he’s just out of strength and overly tired hence he fainted. Let him sleep for an entire day and he’d be fine.”
Luo Qing Luan asked curiously, “How do you know? I thought Crown Prince should be at the border and I’d totally not expected him to suddenly appear here, is he here to look for you?”
Nalan Ye smiled but didn’t say a word, but he was actually feeling grave. Although he had expected Nangong Qing to return sooner or later, but he had not expected him to return this fast. He had just been married for three days and Nangong Qing had already come back. The border and Capital was thousands of miles apart, so Nangong Qing probably had changed a few horses for several days and nights, before he finally reached back here?
Just how dedicated was Nangong Qing towards his bride, which made him do such a thing!
He wondered what would happen if he gained his consciousness?
