90 Days of Spring: Day 37

The Yuman Pavilion returned to calm, and the wisteria flower stems swaying with the wind in the corridor brought a gentle fragrance of flowers.

The monks have already left, leaving only Miaomiao, the prince, and a few servants. Even though Miaomiao didn’t want to drink, Yang Chen forced her to drink the talisman water forcefully.

Miaomiao coughed unceasingly, her pretty face was flushed red, it was unbearable.

Yang Chen patted her on the back and said softly, “It’s okay, you’ll be fine if you drink it.”

Miaomiao was so annoyed at him that he couldn’t allow him to get close at all: “Go away, don’t touch me!” While saying that, she pushed Yang Chen away, got up from the ground with hands and feet, and stumbled out of the courtyard go.

The things in the foreground were upside down, and the world was spinning for a while, and she fell to the ground weakly, feeling that her whole body was being sucked out.

Rather than not being angry, Yang Chen stepped forward to pick her up and walked into the house.

Miaomiao was so tired that she gave up struggling, closed her eyes and fell asleep slowly.

*

It was rare for the prince to be so considerate, not only was he extremely gentle to her, he even stood by the bedside, staring at her intently.

What is the origin of this girl? The maidservants below all speculated, it seems that this time the Crown Princess is making a fuss, if it gets to her ears, she will definitely not let it go.

Yang Chen asked someone to prepare a hot water towel, and personally wiped the sweat from her forehead. His movements were careful and eye-opening.

Miaomiao didn’t sleep well this time, fine beads of sweat kept coming out of her head, she shook her head and whispered. Yang Chen approached him, but he couldn’t understand anything, only two words were the most clear.

“My lord, my lord…”

Which prince, the answer is obvious.

It seems that this little girl has deep affection for her fourth brother… Yang Chen narrowed his eyes dangerously, and continued to move his hands: “In the future, you will be mine, don’t think about others.”

He seems to be talking to Miaomiao, but also seems to be talking to himself.

After returning from the Fourth Prince’s Mansion today, someone below gave him a coup. He thinks that Miaomiao’s situation should be caused by witchcraft. As long as she invites a monk who has attained the Tao from the temple, she will definitely show her original shape. That’s why Yang Chen didn’t allow any delay, so he ordered people to go to Fayin Temple that day, invited three monks to do the same, and forced her to drink the talisman water.

It’s fine if it’s an ordinary person, but if… Yang Chen looked at the person on the bed, Miaomiao was obviously in pain, and moaned softly, which made him even more convinced that she was the person he was looking for .

Yang Chen touched her face, what made her change? Why is she doing this?

This little maid was full of weirdness and secrets, which made him even more curious. Is it just to get close to the fourth brother? But why change her appearance, her original appearance, which part is not better than now?

Even in her dream, she slept very restlessly, avoiding his touch with her head turned. Yang Chen gently pinched her immature face, and he was bound to win: “Sooner or later, you will belong to this king.”

The monk said, after drinking the talisman water, it will return to its original state no later than six hours. Yang Chen intends to wait here all the time, and if there is any change, he will be able to see it at the first sight.

At dusk, the sun is setting in the west, and the eaves are covered with a layer of orange glow. The courtyard is even more hazy, and the sunset glow penetrates into the room through the gauze, and every part of the room is shrouded in harmonious light, making it extraordinarily quiet. Yang Chen had been sitting by the bed for an hour, and he was content with it, staring at Miaomiao’s sleepy eyes without blinking.

When the Crown Princess Lu Shi arrived, what she saw was this peaceful scene.

Suddenly furious, she took two steps forward, stopped a few steps behind Yang Chen, neither saluted nor greeted: “Yang Chen, what do you mean?”

Yang Chen didn’t move when he heard her voice, “Who told you to come?”

Lv Yinrong gritted her teeth hard, and then smiled coldly: “If I don’t come, how will I know what your new favorite looks like.”

It was clearly a majestic and beautiful face, with bright eyes and bright teeth, but it was distorted by jealousy. The person she was lying on the bed was not a beauty, but was born beautiful and small. Why should the prince like her for this kind of woman?

Lu Yinrong didn’t show it on the surface, but her heart was already turbulent.

Yang Chen smiled slightly, as if he could guess what she was thinking, “I think she is much more beautiful than you.”

“You!” Lu Yinrong choked with anger, staring fiercely at the back of his head.

She is not afraid of him, no matter how capricious and unpredictable the people below say he is, she dares to fight back with him. There is no way, who taught her that she is the most beloved niece of the empress of the dynasty, and she has someone to support her, so her confidence is naturally different. They had quarreled for three to five years without any results, Yang Chen was already tired of it, and now he just ignores her.

Lu Yinrong made fun of herself, but she was unwilling to leave, “I heard that she is the servant girl of the fourth brother’s house, why did you become so hungry? Are you afraid that the fourth brother will settle accounts with you?”

Yang Chen got up, and finally he was willing to look at her, “When will I need you to ask me about my work?”

Seeing her instantly angry face, Yang Chen smiled lowly, “What is the fourth child capable of? He became a useless person more than ten years ago. Does this king still need to be afraid of him?”

Lu Yinrong sneered, “Rabbits will bite people when they are in a hurry.”

She didn’t know the relationship between Miaomiao and Yang Fu, but she just said it casually, which made Yang Chen look serious, “Go back after reading it.”

Being ordered to evict guests, Lu Yinrong gritted her teeth, turned around and left, before leaving, she stared fiercely at the bed.

*

This sleep was very restless, and Miaomiao woke up slowly, feeling exhausted, with numb hands and feet, as if she had been run over by the wheels of a car, unable to move. She was sweating all over, and now her mouth was dry and she wanted to get out of bed to drink water, but she struggled twice and couldn’t get up. There was no one in the room, let alone serve her tea.

Miaomiao lay on the bed, recalling the dream she had just had.

She was floating in mid-air just now, as if her soul had escaped her body, she could clearly see the scene inside the house, and heard the conversation between Yang Chen and the princess. Then there was a burst of pain, as if there were two bodies competing in the body, and in the end both sides were injured, which made her exhausted.

What exactly did the prince give her to drink? There are such terrible consequences.

Miaomiao slowed down, and finally sat up slowly. Just as she was about to reach out to pour water, she heard a violent scolding from outside the screen——

“How many hours have passed, why is there still no change? What is the use of my king asking you to come!” It was Yang Chen’s voice.

Miaomiao shrank her shoulders, fearing him for no reason, and always felt that this person was not normal. She listened for a while, and belatedly realized that they were talking about her, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

Change? They want her to change back?

Looking up at the window, the sun is rising, the sky is clear, and it is already the next morning. So they did something yesterday in order to show her her original shape?

The more Miaomiao thought about it, the more frightened she became, so she quickly lifted the quilt to look at her legs. Fortunately, she didn’t turn into a fish tail.

She wiped the sweat from her forehead in a panic, so she should have escaped a catastrophe… She was about to get out of bed to pour water, when she raised her eyes and saw Yang Chen walking into the inner room, she was slightly surprised when she woke up, and immediately He lowered his expression, “What are you doing out of bed?”

Miaomiao was puzzled: “I’m not a patient, why can’t I get out of bed?”

The words were about to fall, and Yang Chen’s face changed, “Go back and lie down.”

Miaomiao is afraid of him, but also really thirsty, so she pouted pitifully: “I just want to pour a glass of water.”

Yang Chen’s expression softened a bit, probably because the answer he got just now was very dissatisfied, so he was full of gloom at the moment. He ordered the servant girl to pour water and handed it to Miaomiao: “Drink.”

After Miaomiao finished drinking, she wiped her mouth with insatiable desire: “I still want to drink.”

The servant girl had no choice but to pour another cup for her.

Until she drank to her heart’s content, Miaomiao jumped up from the bed and cheered like no one else: “It’s the next day, I can go back tomorrow!”

This sentence was undoubtedly a needle in Yang Chen’s heart. His eyes were cold and fierce, and he was even more eager to solve the mystery about her.

Unable to understand Miaomiao’s complacent appearance, he told him mercilessly: “Tomorrow, the queen will host a banquet and invite the fourth brother and Jiang Alan. I’m afraid I won’t have time to take care of you.”

Miaomiao fell silent for a moment, the joy faded from her face little by little, and asked hesitantly: “The prince’s words are serious?”

Yang Chen smiled, satisfied, “What did I lie to you for?”

The corners of Miaomiao’s mouth drooped, looking like she was about to cry, “Why did you tell me this?”

Yang Chen walked towards her, his footsteps accompanied by his vicious words, trampling on her heart word by word, “This king just wants to tell you that in the queen’s heart, they are a match made in heaven. Maybe the queen will be married soon.” I will ask the sage for instructions and propose a marriage for the two of them. You are just a maid, will you be the fourth younger brother and refuse marriage for you?” He lovingly touched her cheek, “When the two of them get married, there will be a lot of affection. , where is room for you?”

His goal has been achieved, and Miaomiao is really grief-stricken, and keeps retorting: “No, it won’t be like this…the prince won’t leave me alone…”

Yang Chen turned a deaf ear to her, and pinched her chin to consult: “Miaomiao, why don’t you come and be my concubine, this king asks the sage to make you a good concubine.”

Miaomiao is unwilling, “If you let me go, I won’t be your concubine.”

As he said that, he wanted to run away, but unfortunately he was easily caught by the prince. Yang Chen brought her to him, put his cheek against his, and made a certain resolution: “Today, you have a good rest, and tomorrow the king will take you to go boating on the lake.”

Miaomiao was already weak, after a lot of tossing, her face was pale: “I don’t want to go boating…”

Yang Chen didn’t intend to listen to her opinion, so he left after saying this sentence.

*

The lake Yang Chen mentioned was Taiqing Lake in the capital. Boats are docked on the lake all year round for people to visit and have fun. It is a good place to meet guests and eat wine.

No matter day or night, there are many ships going back and forth. From time to time, Yingying, Yanyan chuckled softly in the boat, which family’s lord is looking for fun, leaning on jade and cuddling incense. Yang Chen has done this kind of thing before, but now he doesn’t have that kind of thought. Compared with the beauty that night, other women seem vulgar.

Because of this, he is eager to restore Miaomiao to her original appearance.

He once thought, she was in the water that day in Changyuan, and she was also in the water in Tongzhou. Could it be that only in the water can she change back?

If so, what is the reason?

Yang Chen didn’t have the patience to think too much, the boat sailed towards the center of the lake, getting farther and farther away from the shore. He entered the cabin and saw Miaomiao sitting in a corner with her knees hugged, “It’s so boring to be bored, don’t you want to see the scenery outside with me?”

Miaomiao actually wanted to watch it too, but she was afraid that she couldn’t help jumping into the water, so she didn’t go out.

Being seduced by Yang Chen, she couldn’t hold back immediately, she stood up silently, and walked out of the cabin uncontrollably.

Yang Chen reached out to help her, but she refused: “I can do it myself.”

Standing on the bow of the boat, Miaomiao looks at the shore of the lake in the distance, green willows, green tiles on the eaves, and the bustling scene of the street is laid out in front of you. The sky is dark blue, the sky is bright and clear, and there is a vast expanse of blue.

Miaomiao stared blankly, probably attracted by the scenery.

Yang Chen tilted his head to look at her, this was the first time in two days that he saw her smiling face, her watery eyes were clear and flawless, like two shining black pearls, shining brightly. He was a little hesitant to let go, until she looked back and smiled, his hand was still in the air.

Miaomiao has a heartless temperament, troubles come and go quickly, and for a moment she forgot who was around her: “Can I sing?”

Once the shark’s mood reaches the extreme and there is nowhere to vent, he wants to express it in songs.

Yang Chen was shocked and his heart was surging.

The man in Tongzhou said that she once sang songs in the sea at night, and the singing was so melodious that even the fish in the water were attracted.

He said: “Yes.”

But Miaomiao suddenly came to her senses, with regretful eyes, “I won’t sing anymore.”

Yang Chen’s voice was hoarse: “Why?”

She was silent.

The boat moved a little farther away, and suddenly the water trembled. Miaomiao stood on the head of the bed, her body shook violently, and she couldn’t restrain herself from leaning forward. She managed to stabilize her body, but before she had time to catch her breath, someone pushed her back. She was caught off guard, and her feet slipped and fell into the water.

The lake instantly submerged her head, under the clear lake, Miaomiao saw Yang Chen’s deep eyes.

*

Miaomiao sank little by little, feeling calm and flustered.

As soon as she falls into the water, she will turn into a shark. As long as she hides far away, nothing will happen if she is not found. This time, however, it was not quite the same as usual.

The severe pain in the body is no less than that of just waking up yesterday, especially the pain in the legs is gradually spreading, as if being burned by fire, the pain is scorching. Her body began to lose control, and she sank to the bottom of the lake, her consciousness became more and more blurred, and she only felt that her whole body was in excruciating pain.

As if something had been stripped from her body bit by bit, she let out a groan in pain, desperately trying to escape this feeling.

In the depths of the water, the body of the little maid was wrapped in silver light. The small body was ups and downs, and gradually separated into two bodies. Miaomiao’s exquisite and delicate body is separated from the little girl’s body, the head, jade neck, shoulder blades… and finally the silvery white fish tail, the tail fin is like glass, and finally the two bodies are completely separated.

Repelled by that body, Miaomiao turned around nimbly, looking in shock at the other “Miaomiao” who was sinking gradually.

Not long after, the prince’s men went into the water to save them, she hurriedly found a place to hide her body, and peeped behind the boulder. The attendants picked up the body from left to right, and carried it to the lake.

The skin under their hands was extremely cold, because they were in the water, they didn’t care. They didn’t know that the person who was salvaged had died for a long time.
