Chapter 1999: Miserable Fiancée vs. Aristocratic Young Lady (Part 34)
Gu Shengyin furrowed her brow, but she didn’t say anything.
No matter what his identity is, he surely has his own privacy.
Since he is unwilling to speak, she naturally won’t press him for answers.
...
Nighttime.
Gu Shengyin blew out the lamp in her room, and after making sure there were no prying eyes around, she turned over and lay down on the bed.
Then, she closed her eyes and, in the next moment, her whole being appeared in a wondrous place.
Green grass was lush, and the ground was covered with a thin layer of drifting white mist, which made the place seem like an ethereal paradise.
The distant scenery was shrouded in the mist, making it impossible to see clearly.
Gu Shengyin’s attention was focused on the nearby area.
Right in front of her was the Spiritual Spring.
On the land beside it, flowerpots and seedlings were already properly placed together.
Gu Shengyin planned to cultivate flowers directly in this space over the next two months.
She had her own reasons for this; the space was abundant in spiritual energy, and generally, the flowers and plants would grow lush and quickly. Plus, with the water from the Spiritual Spring for irrigation, growing a pot of flowers in two months would be no issue at all.
As for the season? That was even less of a problem.
This Spiritual Spring Space had no concept of the four seasons, making it extremely suitable for the growth of flowers and plants.
The only tricky part was confidentiality.
She’s growing so many flowers and always in this courtyard, yet no one has ever seen where those flowers are.
Anyone would naturally be suspicious.
Gu Shengyin simply sought out Qi Chengxuan the next day.
"For the next two months, no one is allowed to step into your courtyard?" Qi Chengxuan was taken aback, "Why specifically tell me this?"
Gu Shengyin smiled slyly at him: "I can command the servants in this courtyard, but your people, Your Highness, won’t listen to me."
Qi Chengxuan’s expression shifted.
She even knows about the Hidden Guards?
Perhaps Miss Chang has some peculiarities in flower cultivation or a unique technique she doesn’t want others to know about, Qi Chengxuan fully understood this.
He said: "Miss Chang, rest assured, without your permission, my people will absolutely not appear around you."
Gu Shengyin nodded upon hearing this: "His Highness Prince Ping’s promise is as good as gold, and Chang Jiujiu naturally trusts it."
She suddenly seemed to remember something and asked: "How is the heat toxin in your body, Prince?"
Speaking of this, Qi Chengxuan’s face showed a smile: "Miss Chang, your medical skills are exceptional. I’ve been feeling very well lately."
More than just well?
Qi Chengxuan felt as if he had never been this relaxed in his entire life.
In the past, his heat toxin would recur every spring and summer, making him suffer throughout the entire summer until the fall cools down, allowing him some relief.
Yet, even when the heat toxin wasn’t active, he had to wear Cold Jade every day and take pills made from precious medicinal materials with a cold nature to suppress the heat toxin within him.
Even so, his body always remained in a state of extreme irritation and restlessness.
At every moment, Qi Chengxuan felt he couldn’t control his body, wanting to destroy, to annihilate, to remove all obstructions!
The physician who had long been nurturing his health once sighed that His Highness Prince Ping’s endurance was truly unparalleled in his lifetime.
Such an experience! If it were an ordinary person, they’d have long been driven to collapse.
Yet he endured like this for over twenty years.
