1756 Chapter 1755 of “Quickly Traveling [Jade Body Exposed]”
byA woman disguises herself as a prince and a man disguises himself as a concubine [Fourteen]
Cuiying didn’t notice the difference in Ning Shuyao.
After confirming that Li Xin was fine, she breathed a sigh of relief and said to Ning Shuyao:
“Sir, my maid has sent someone out, please stay away first.”
This was completely different from their original plan. No one expected that the third prince was so delicate and frail that he would have to be rescued by Ning Shuyao.
Originally, they just wanted to find out more about him and see if he still remembered Ning Shuyao’s face.
Unexpectedly, when they met just now, he turned a blind eye to Ning Shuyao.
This is really abnormal. If he remembers it, he should recognize it. If he doesn’t remember it, he will be surprised to some extent, and he shouldn’t be completely indifferent.
Therefore, there was a second trial.
It’s funny to say that Ning Shuyao was originally asked to wait for him in the pavilion and say a few words.Who knows when this His Highness became so cautious that he refused to even take one more step and had to rush back to the palace.
Helpless, Cui Ying and Ning Shu Yao had no choice but to use the last resort. No matter what, they had to understand his true identity.
There was no one around here, and the people in the palace kept secrets. Even if the third prince saved Ning Shuyao, no one leaked out.
Naturally, the reputation of “Ning Shuyao” will not be harmed.
With the unexpected result now, Cuiying is also distressed and doesn’t know what to do.
Helian is powerful, so they cannot confront them head-on for the time being, lest they both lose.
If Concubine Ying knew that her baby’s life and death were unknown, she would go crazy.
Ning Shuyao seemed not to have heard what Cuiying said.
She called out twice more:
“Master, Master?!”
Ning Shuyao suddenly came back to his senses, retracted his hand and pursed his lips:
“Take good care of her and bring this up another day.”
After that, he tied his cloak and hurriedly left with several palace people as if he were running away.
Cuiying couldn’t figure out what he meant either.

When Li Xin woke up again, she was already lying on a familiar bed, covered with a soft brocade quilt, and her nose was filled with the bitter smell of medicinal juice.
She moved, her head feeling dizzy.
“Your Highness is awake?”
Aunt He had been staying by her side. When she noticed the movement, she quickly lifted the bed curtain and looked over with red eyes.
Li Xin was speechless, her throat was dry, astringent, tight and painful, and her jaw felt weak.
Aunt He touched her hand and saw that the fever had subsided. She couldn’t help but recite a Buddhist line and took a long breath and said:
“Bodhisattva bless you, Bodhisattva bless you, you are finally awake.”
As he said that, he picked up the warm concoction from the tray of the little palace maid on the side, helped Li Xin up, leaned on the soft cushion, and said softly:
“Good girl, take the medicine and you will be fine soon.”
Li Xin was very thirsty and ignored the bitterness of the concoction. She drank it as if it were water.
Aunt He hurriedly brought tea and asked her to rinse her mouth.
After moistening her throat, Li Xin felt less uncomfortable:
“Aunt…how many days did I sleep?”
Unfortunately, my throat is gravelly, like gravel rubbing together.
Aunt He pressed the corner of her eyes with a handkerchief and said distressedly:
“It’s been five days, I almost thought… I almost thought…”
She felt sad that her daughter had to be kept anonymously in a boudoir since she was a child, and could not go out on weekdays, lest people see her appearance and get into trouble.
Nowadays, people still have to risk their lives to pass themselves off as men.
Li Xin patted her hand and comforted her:
“What happened in the past five days?”
She is not stupid, she remembers exactly what happened before she fell into the water.
It’s just not easy to settle accounts with that group of people now, so I suppress it and look for another opportunity.
