Chapter 1372: I’ll Be Here Waiting for You, You Don’t Need to Be Afraid of Anything
Considering Jiang Ying’s frail health.
The journey between Prince Qing Mansion and Wanzong Marquis Mansion takes thirty minutes by carriage.
However, Prince Qing felt sorry for Jiang Ying’s fatigue and was reluctant for her to endure the bumps along the road.
So, that night, Prince Qing asked Feng Fuce to take her in.
"I will accompany her at the Marquis Mansion for one night, and when she feels better tomorrow, I’ll take her away." Prince Qing said to Feng Fuce.
Feng Fuce coldly replied, "No."
Prince Qing frowned, "Why? It’s just one night!"
Feng Fuce looked at him and said, "Except for Bai Zhi’er, no other women can stay at my mansion."
Bai Zhi’er was helping to feed Jiang Ying her medicine nearby.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ying chuckled and nearly spat out the medicine.
Bai Zhi’er’s cheeks instantly became flushed and red.
A hint of suspicion had already risen in Prince Qing’s eyes.
He stared at Feng Fuce, "Why can Zhi’er stay?"
To prevent Feng Fuce from saying anything earth-shattering, Bai Zhi’er hurriedly said, "Oh, uncle, Brother Fu Ce is just joking with you."
She blinked her beautiful eyes at Feng Fuce, "Brother Fu Ce, you actually agree, right?"
Feng Fuce looked at his Little Demon Pet’s gaze.
After a moment, a trace of a smile appeared in his eyes, somewhat helpless.
Feng Fuce finally nodded, "Yes."
Prince Qing then laughed, "I couldn’t tell before, but Marquis Wan, you’re quite an interesting person."
After speaking, he walked over to Jiang Ying and asked with concern, "Is the medicine bitter?"
Jiang Ying shook her head, "What’s bitter about this? I can even eat bitter melon raw!"
The two exchanged smiles, and Prince Qing saw that she had taken the medicine and her spirits had improved considerably, so he sat by the bedside to talk to her.
After a while, Jiang Ying got tired and would fall asleep, and Bai Zhi’er had arranged a dream for her, which would unfold in her slumber.
At this moment, Feng Fuce quietly walked to Bai Zhi’er’s side, hooked her little finger, and led her to the side.
"What’s the matter?" Bai Zhi’er asked.
Feng Fuce glanced at Prince Qing who was focused on talking to Jiang Ying.
He said calmly, "You should also stay here tonight."
Bai Zhi’er opened her round watery eyes, "I have nothing to do, of course, I’m going back to the imperial palace!"
Otherwise, if her father and mother find out she’s out all night, they’d be worried.
Feng Fuce seemed to see through her thoughts.
"The Emperor and the Heavenly Dao probably won’t notice you didn’t return tonight."
"Just now, when arranging for a servant to get medicine, I asked Prince Qing’s attendant, he came from the palace."
"Obviously, Prince Qing went to the imperial palace first, found you weren’t there, so he came here."
"And Prince Qing’s attendant said, he didn’t even see the Emperor’s face because the Emperor was busy coaxing that Imperial Concubine and didn’t allow anyone to disturb them."
Bai Zhi’er felt helpless.
Father and mother are really inseparable, like honey blending with oil!
Feng Fuce whispered, "So, would you stay with me?"
He said this with a somewhat enchanting tone, causing Bai Zhi’er’s cheeks to flush slightly.
She glanced at the two over there, Prince Qing and Jiang Ying.
Ultimately, Bai Zhi’er nodded, "Alright then, it’s like I’m thanking you on behalf of my uncle!"
Besides, she also needed to stay by Jiang Ying’s side to prevent any accident, keeping Jiang Ying trapped in her dreams.
Feng Fuce’s cold brows immediately relaxed, smiling brightly for the first time.
Jiang Ying, with limited energy, talked with Prince Qing for a bit, then grew tired.
Bai Zhi’er immediately came over, her fingertips gently touching Jiang Ying’s forehead.
Jiang Ying instantly felt drowsy.
Prince Qing hurriedly clasped her hand, sitting directly at the foot of the bed.
"I’ll be here waiting for you, you have nothing to fear."
So, Jiang Ying truly felt at ease and closed her eyes.
