Chapter 731: Where is Prince Huai?
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Pei Huai looked at her.
“I don’t want to stay here either.” Countless painful memories surged into her mind. Su Ji bent her knees and hugged herself with both hands .No one likes me here, and no one welcomes me.”
“If there’s a way to go back, I’ll cooperate unconditionally.” Pei Huai’s knuckles turned white when he held the medicine bottle.
“I’m telling the truth.” She looked at him. “I don’t want to stay here!” “Alright.” A moment later, Pei Huai said, “it’s good that you think this way.”
“I’ll think of a way to send you back.”
Su Ji pursed her lips.
Pei Huai said, “you can tell me what you want to eat tonight. I’ll try my best to satisfy you as long as it’s nutritious.”
This was the first time he had asked for her opinion in the past three days. Su Ji felt relieved, but at the same time, she felt sad for herself.
The two people with the same face and fate were connected, but the treatment they received was so different.
One of them was the imperial concubine of the Great Shang, and she seemed to be invisible no matter where she went…
A face appeared in her mind, and it was the only warmth in her heart at that moment.
Pei Huai prescribed medicine for her on the spot. Regarding the matter of taking care of her body, Pei Huai did it in great detail without any hesitation.
Su Ji watched as he sat in front of the table, took out a few pieces of paper, and crushed pills of different sizes.
The creases on the paper were completely symmetrical and neat, and not a single bit of powder was spilled on the table. He was a very serious and rigorous person no matter what he did. His fingers were slender, and the simple action of grinding medicine seemed like he was performing surgery.
Su Ji had stayed in her room during her year in the Great Shang. She had rejected all the people who came to see her for various reasons, except for Prince Huai.
That person was wearing a mask and had an intimidating aura.
She could not refuse and was forced to meet him a few times. She felt that
Prince Huai seemed to have noticed something. At first, she was worried that
Prince Huai would tell the others about her abnormal behavior, but he did not. On the contrary, the number of officials who asked to see her decreased, and the things that troubled her decreased. She could stay in her bedroom and listen to the musicians play the piano. The musicians would correct her singing. Her everyday life was very relaxed and comfortable…
However, because Prince Huai was still wearing a mask, Su Ji did not know that he was Pei Huai.
To her, these people were all strangers.
Later on, Pei Huai called a nurse in to prepare medicine for her.
Xu Mingzhi had gone out for a long time this time. Pei Huai was worried that something might happen, so he did not leave.
Su Ji was lying on the bed while Pei Huai was sitting on the chair in front of the table. The two of them were three to four meters apart. Pei Huai was looking up various doc.u.ments on his phone. He did not speak to her, nor did he look up.
Sil Ti knew what he wag investigating He seemed in really like the C.nncllhine
Dowager.
She lived a better life than her.
Later, Xu Mingzhi came back after she was done on the phone. When she pushed open the door of the ward, she saw the scene.
With her daughter around, she did not say anything and let Pei Huai go back first.
Pei Huai also prepared food for Xu Mingzhi and asked the nurse to heat it up before he got up and left.
When the door closed behind him, Xu Mingzhi collected his thoughts and looked back at her daughter with a natural, doting smile on her face. “Baby, here’s your phone…”
At the VIP entrance of the hospital lobby, the elevator descended from the top floor to the first floor.
Ding! Pei Huai came out of the elevator with Shen Mu following beside him.
Before the elevator door opened, Pei Huai seemed to have said something to him. He was stunned for a moment and took a step back. Then, he quickly caught up and confirmed with him, “you want me to contact your psychiatrist?”
“I can’t leave for the time being. Go and get Doctor Lin to the Z-Sea.”
Shen Mu said, “yes, boss!”
Why didn’t he think of that?
The boss had been mentally and physically exhausted for the past few days. If Doctor Lin talked to him, it might help.
After receiving the order from the CEO, Shen Mu quickly went to carry it out.
As Pei 1–luai walked out of the hospital hall, the scorching summer sun of Z-Sea enveloped him.
His cold and fair skin shone with a diamond-like l.u.s.ter, and the faint youthfulness in his eyes became more obvious.
In the past three days, he had slept very little. Basically, his body could not take it anymore, so he would take a short nap while reading the information.
He would not dream either.
He only wanted to know one thing. He was very anxious to know where his girl was now.
Was she safe?
Pei Huai looked up, his pupils constricted under the glaring sunlight.
It was summer again…
Yes, it was summer again..
At the moment, Su Ji, who had been sent back thousands of years ago, was also looking at the scorching sun.
She was looking at the same sun as Pei Huai a few thousand years later.
In three days, Su Ji had already reorganized the court. She rewarded and punished those who deserved it.
She also sorted out everything that had happened here in the past year.
The current juncture was exactly a month before Zhou Zicheng gathered his army to revolt.
She did not have much time left.
If she died in Zhou Zicheng’s hands again in this life, she would never be able to return to the modern world.
After court today, Su Ji returned to her bedroom to change.
Ai Meng came over with the clothes that she had prepared. “The clothes that
Consort Dowager asked me to prepare are all here. But…” She giggled, “why did Consort Dowager ask me to prepare men’s clothes?”
Behind the barrier, Su Ji reached out a hand and took the set of clothes. “You’ll know in a while.”
She took off her clothes, and the color of spring was hazy through the barrier.
Ai Meng looked at the pieces of muslin clothes that were thrown onto the barrier and swallowed.
There was no air conditioner or portable fan here, and Su Ji could not wear T-shirt or shorts. The ice cubes in the copper basin were cold, but they had little effect.
Su Yi exhaled. At this moment, her stomach was still flat and there was no change.
But other changes had already taken place. For example, at this moment, she was more afraid of the heat than in previous summers.
In the past three days, she had been reviewing the various tasks in the imperial court. However, she had not seen Prince Huai in the past three days.
The fellow was very strange. When she was here in the past, he would appear at the imperial court on time every day, regardless of rain or shine.
This time, he did not come for three days in a row. He only said that he was on sick leave. The reason was very perfunctory.
After a while, Su Ji came out from behind the screen.
Dressed in a dark purple robe, Su Ji looked valiant. The embroidered brocade belt tied around her waist, and the ta.s.sels of the jade pendant fluttered. Her long hair was tied up high behind her head. She looked intimidating.
Ai Meng was completely stunned. She had an infatuated and confused expression on her face. “Consort Dowager…”
“I’m going out of the palace. It might take a few hours. If anyone wants to see me during this period, just say that I’m not feeling well and turn them away.”
Previously, she said that she wanted to meet Bian Tong, and she finally had time today…
