Chapter 84
Qin Rong doesn't remember that he had hurt Yingying.
Or, he had a vague memory of the incident that night and didn't know what he had done. Yingying didn't tell the truth to Qin Rong after understanding it. She smiled and pretended to be indifferent, "What's going on?"
"Ah, is the third brother talking about my neck?" Yingying made up a lie temporarily and blinked several times and looked around.
"Yingying had a nightmare last night. She always felt that she couldn't breathe in her dream. Brother, please guess what happened to me when I woke up? I found myself pinching my neck."
"It's so embarrassing. The third brother must not tell anyone."
In the past, Yingying was talking nonsense, and she could always make Qin Rong laugh twice, helpless or angry, but Qin Rong would always smile at her. However, the expected laughter did not come this time, Yingying could only laugh dryly. She lowered her eyes and did not dare to look at Qin Rong, and was always afraid that he could expose her lies through his eyes.
"Third Brother..." Yingying was about to find something else to talk about when a hand suddenly fell on her chin.
Her cheeks were forced to be raised, and Yingying saw Qin Rong still looking at her neck.
The finger marks on Yingying's neck were dark and obviously it took a few days to form. Seeing the traces on her neck clearly, Qin Rong's eyes seemed to contain ice slag. He couldn't think of anyone who was so bold to attack Yingying, and his tone couldn't control it and his tone was cold, "Who is it?"
"No, no one."
Doctor Wang specifically explained that although the aura in Qinrong's body had calmed down, it had not been completely suppressed, so try not to let him have emotional fluctuations.
Seeing that Qin Rong seemed to have anger, Yingying hurriedly went to hold his hand. She rubbed her cheek and said pitifully, "It was Yingying who pinched it himself."
"Brother Third, don't be so fierce, Yingying will be afraid."
It wasn't that she said this on purpose. Yingying was used to the gentle and good-tempered Qin Rong, and she was really afraid of him like this.
Qin Rong probably didn't realize his emotional fluctuations. He was stunned by Yingying's reminder and quickly returned to peace. When did he start to feel so uncontrollable?
The long eyelashes drooped, Qin Rong had thoughts in his heart. During this moment, Yingying kept pestering him and talking. She deliberately avoided the topic just now and grabbed Qin Rong's injured hand and told him: "Can the third brother care about himself? Don't be hurt all the time, okay?"
Qin Rong's hands were very beautiful, with slender fingers and distinct joints. When his five fingers were opened, he could easily put her little hand in. At this time, a scar was hanging horizontally on the back of the hand. Although the wound had scabbed, the red marks on the back of his fair hand were very obvious.
Qin Rong followed Yingying's gaze and vaguely remembered some of the things that happened that day. He remembered that after Yingying left, he had an unbearable headache and waved his hand over the table. He still remembered the severe pain in his chest, and his internal force backfired and the wound on his body was shattered again.
That night, he was handcuffed on his feet and was unable to move. The darkness in the room was full of burnt smell. As Yingying left, his emotions became more and more irritable, and then...
Qin Rong's eyes were so deep that he thought he had a good memory, but he couldn't remember what happened later.
Yingying was still talking to him in his ears. The little girl grabbed his hand and wanted to make him happy. She didn't dare to speak loudly when she softened her voice. Seeing Qin Rong remained silent for a long time, Yingying paused and said, "Does the third brother have a headache again?"
...Qin Rong didn't remember, he told Yingying that he had a headache.
Yingying thought Qin Rong felt that she was quarreling again, but her voice was obviously lighter, and there was a little aggrievedness in her heart. She pressed her voice down and said, "Then Yingying is helping the third brother rub it."
As soon as she raised her arm, her wrist was grabbed by one hand.
"Third brother?" Yingying asked carefully.
Qin Rong's lips were tightly pursed, and Yingying's cautious look in front of him stinged him. Combined with Yingying's current performance, Qin Rong had a guess in her heart, raised her arm and raised her chin again.
This time, Qin Rong's fingertips touched the bruises. When he spread his five fingers and pressed his palms on Yingying's neck, Yingying opened her eyes wide and wanted to hide behind. The memories of that night surged up, Yingying thought Qin Rong wanted to pinch her again.
"Don't..." He was too nervous, and Yingying pushed Qin Rong and wanted to avoid it.
Qin Rong's eyes fell straight on Yingying's neck. When he found that the extent of his palms being opened just fits with the bruises, he froze and lost his strength and was pushed away by Yingying.
"Be good, don't be afraid." Qin Rong came to her senses and saw that she was invisibly scared Yingying again, so she hugged the person in her arms.
Yingying also overreacted. She thought Qin Rong was going to pinch her again just now. She raised her eyes and saw that Qin Rong was nothing unusual. She grabbed Qin Rong's clothes and sniffed, "The third brother is scared to death."
Qin Rong didn't ask what she was afraid of, and gently stroked her back with his palms, holding the person tightly in silence.
“…”
During Qin Rong's sleep, Yingying took off the chains on his feet. Now, as Qin Rong woke up, Yingying was afraid that he would walk around with injuries, so she buckled the chains on his ankles again.
With time to rest, Qin Rong's health quickly improved under the treatment of Doctor Wang. As long as the chains on his feet were not removed, he could not leave the East Palace at will. Yingying agreed that Qin Rong stayed in the bedroom and rested in the bedroom. She also stayed in the room with him obediently. If there was nothing to do, Qin Rong would teach her to play chess.
The only thing that is, Yingying was afraid that Qin Rong would care about the bruises on her neck, so she had to avoid him and secretly apply medicine every time.
Today, while Qin Rong was explaining to You Yang in the hall, she quickly took out the ointment and rubbed her neck. Qin Rong was too heavy when she was not awake. The bruise not only did not fade away but became more serious with time. Yingying looked up at her neck with her hand mirror, and saw that the fingerprints on her skin were already purple.
He is really cruel too.
Yingying sighed and dipped the ointment to wipe the bruises. The location of her wound was not convenient. She had to work hard for a long time to finish the medicine. She held the mirror in her hand and looked for the angle left and right. Yingying suddenly saw a white corner of her clothes in the mirror.
When he turned around, Qin Rong held her wrist behind her, leaned over and tightened her arms, and Qin Rong put her chin on her shoulder and asked, "Is it still hurting?"
Yingying didn't expect him to come back so soon. She shook her head and said, "It doesn't hurt anymore."
As long as you don't touch it deliberately, you really won't feel the pain.
Qin Rong was silent. After a while, he picked up the ointment on the table. He held Yingying's chin in his hand, dipped his fingertips in the ointment and applied it carefully to Yingying. The ointment was cool, and the two of them bowed their heads and raised their heads very close to the patch. Yingying was a little uncomfortable and moved, and grabbed Qin Rong's clothes.
"Okay." After helping Yingying apply medicine, Qin Rong hugged her again.
Yingying was sitting in front of the makeup box, and the two people were lingering together clearly reflected in the mirror opposite. Yingying looked at herself in the mirror, and she blinked her eyes. The little girl in the mirror couldn't help but blinked. Yingying couldn't help but fall on the man in the mirror, and the two people looked at each other in the mirror.
"Yingying." Qin Rong called her, and her big palm wrapped around her little hand.
In this posture, he turned his head and kissed Yingying's cheeks lightly, and his warm breath sprayed on her ears. Smelling the faint smell of bitter medicine, Qin Rong's gaze fell and looked at Yingying's neck, and her lingering eyes had something else.
His face was buried between Yingying's neck, and he gently murmured a few words: "...I'm sorry."
Qin Rong knew that the fingerprints on Yingying's neck were all left by him, so he almost strangled her to death.
Yingying wanted to pretend not to understand. After realizing that Qin Rong was in a bad mood, she looked at him in the mirror and asked tentatively: "Does the third brother... know everything?"
Qin Rong nodded. Although he still couldn't remember what he had done, he could roughly guess through the reactions of Yingying and Youyang.
"It turns out that he will really not be able to control himself if he goes into a devil." Qin Rong only remembers the murderous intent that he had nowhere to put. He was eager to vent his anger, and he did many things he did were unreasonable.
The reason why Qin Rong's master, Jade-faced Rakshasa, passed on his internal strength to him back then was because he was obsessed with martial arts practice and killed his lover when he was obsessed with it.
When he passed this inner strength to Qin Rong, he also specifically told Qin Rong not to use it until he had to force him. Qin Rong didn't use it before just because he had no chance to use it. Now that he really used it, he realized why the Jade-faced Rakshasa was easily willing to give up his martial arts.
"Jade-faced Rakshasa." Yingying repeated her voice. She had heard Qin Rong mention this name at the bottom of the cliff. Now she heard Qin Rong mention it again. She was a little curious, "Where has the third brother's master gone now?"
Qin Rong shook her head and said, "The third brother doesn't know either."
He left as soon as he said he could leave. Since then, there has been no news of Jade-faced Rakshasa in the world, and he has never appeared when Zhao Hanfu died.
Yingying was a little scared after listening to the story of Jade-faced Rakshasa, "That third brother is not allowed to use martial arts again in the future."
Anyway, Qin Rong knew the truth, so Yingying stopped hiding it. She turned around and threw herself into Qin Rong's arms and hugged his waist, as if she accused him: "Third brother was really scary that day. If You Yang hadn't arrived in time, Yingying would have been strangled to death by you."
Qin Rong hugged her tightly, but he felt distressed when he thought of the pinching marks on Yingying's neck. Qin Rong hugged her tightly and said softly: "I will never again."
Yingying nodded, and in order not to make Qin Rong blame herself, she joked: "If there is another time, Yingying will leave her third brother and look for the love of other gentle little brothers."
Qin Rong smiled faintly, her long eyelashes drooped to cover her eyes.
He couldn't imagine Yingying leaving him, and he would definitely not let Yingying leave him.
“…”
After recuperation for a few days, Qin Rong's injuries finally began to heal, and his internal breath gradually calmed down and stabilized.
Yingying was worried that Qin Rong was overworked, so she still locked him and didn't want him to leave the Eastern Palace. Except for the few close people, other court officials only thought that His Royal Highness, the old injury relapsed, and it was inconvenient to walk. But who would have thought that His Royal Highness, the extremely noble Prince of the Northern Region, was actually tied to the bedroom with handcuffs.
Since he came back from the cliff, Qin Rong sent someone to track down the news about Chifeng Tower and Chen Xue. Now he has completely destroyed Chifeng Tower, but Chen Xue seems to have evaporated from the human world. There is no news about the traces that have been cut off from Nanyin Kingdom.
On this day, while Qiu Yu came to Qin Rong, Yingying went to Fengkun Palace to talk to her aunt. I don’t know if Yingying was too sensitive, but she always felt that her aunt’s mood was getting worse day by day. When she went, Gu Manru was scolding the palace maid who was serving her personally. After asking, she realized that it was the palace maid who was clumsy and hurt her when she helped Gu Manru comb her hair.
"Auntie is not angry, Yingying will help you comb it." Yingying comforted Gu Manru, took the comb to help her take care of her long hair.
It was just a light comb, but Yingying combed off a few long hairs of her aunt. She didn't care about it and combed it a few more times. It was obviously a very gentle movement, but she combed dozens of hairs.
"Your brother wrote yesterday, saying that he had arrived in the northwest and everything was fine now."
Gu Manru didn't know what was going on later, and his fingers touched his cheek and looked at the face in the mirror. "He didn't write you alone, but just told you to listen to the prince's words and go out to the palace to see your father if you have nothing to do. Don't always make him angry."
Yingying responded absent-mindedly, hiding the hair on the comb into her sleeves. When she left Fengkun Palace, Yingying asked Yun Xin who was sending her out, "How is your aunt in good health recently?"
Yun Xin was a little confused and replied truthfully: "Grandma is so safe, but insomnia has become worse in recent days, and her temper has also become worse."
Yingying felt uneasy and always felt something was wrong. She couldn't help but ask again: "Why did my aunt suffer from insomnia?"
Yun Xin shook her head, "The Empress has been insomnia for a long time. The imperial doctor only said that the Empress is caused by depression and hard work all day long."
Yingying had no questions asked, but she had to give up. Before leaving, she was worried about her aunt, so she could only let Yun Xin pay more attention to her aunt's situation and let her contact her in time if she had anything to do.
Before he could return to the East Palace, Yingying met Xiaodai halfway. Xiaodai rushed over and said with a sad face as soon as he saw Yingying, "Grandma, Abei and Xiaobao are gone."
Yingying didn't regard it as a big deal, but just asked casually: "Did they hide in some hidden place to sleep?"
After all, this has not happened before.
"If they really hide in a hidden place to sleep, I will not come out."
Xiaodai was a little anxious. Seeing that Yingying had not realized the seriousness of the matter, she quickly explained: "I and Cui'er have searched all the places in all sizes of the East Palace, but they have not found them. Just now, a little eunuch and I said that half an hour ago he saw a cat running out of the East Palace."
Xiaobao and Abbe both ran out of the East Palace, and they were not sure where they were going...
Yingying was confused. You should know that this palace was not other places, but mostly forbidden areas and crowded noble people. It would be easier if two cats really ran to the forbidden areas. What they were afraid of was that they had hit an empress or minister and were arrested and executed.
"Hurry, lead someone out and find him." Yingying was anxious. She had seen someone kill cats and dogs in her previous life.
Abei and Xiaobao were given to her by Yan Ning. Yingying promised him to take good care of the two kittens, so she must not break her promise. She hurriedly followed Xiao Dai and the others to find the cat. Soon most of the palace people knew that the East Palace had lost two kittens, and Yingying said that the person who found them was rewarded.
The palace is so big, it is not easy to find two kittens. Yingying searched for two hours in a row, and when it was dark, Qin Rong directly sent someone to urge her to go back.
"Look for it again." Yingying was really uneasy to find them. Although she did not cause trouble after she was reborn, many of her mortal enemies were in the palace before, so she couldn't help but find her cat in advance to vent her anger.
The more I thought about it, the more I became more and more scared. Yingying avoided Qin Rong's people and went to some remote places to search. Perhaps her painstaking efforts were rewarded. When Yingying walked through the small garden, she suddenly saw a flash of white shadows. She hurriedly chased after her and anxiously shouted Xiaobao's name.
"Xiaobao, come back quickly!" Yingying searched for the afternoon and was tired and hungry, thinking that she would have to punish them severely.
Thinking of this, she chased Xiaobao to a remote palace. Seeing that there was no one guarding her outside the door, she pushed open the door and looked in. She thought it was a deserted temple, but she didn't expect that she found that someone lived here when she came in.
...Is this a cold palace?
Yingying looked at the surrounding environment and walked through the yard without seeing a palace maid. After walking a few more steps forward, she heard a low voice. Not far away, someone was squatting in the grass. She gently stroked the white kitten lying on the ground, and her tone was soft: "Xiaobao, why are you here?"
"I heard that your master is looking for you outside. Can I take you back to find her?"
The closer she got, the clearer the woman's voice became. She was wearing a white long skirt and turned her back to Yingying. Yingying couldn't see her face clearly for a moment. She felt that the voice of this person was familiar, but Yingying couldn't remember who she was.
