Chapter 299 Qingyan Extra: The Moonlight Is Bright (7)

In the blink of an eye, it has been a month since Shen Qing returned to Shengjing, but Yunyuan's health has not only shown no signs of improvement, but has become more serious.

On October 24th, the first snowfall of the year fell in Shengjing, and the weather suddenly became cold.

At this time, Yunyuan was so weak that she could only stay in the warm room without any cool breeze.

Shen Qing was worried about Yunyuan's health, so she moved from her own yard to Yunyuan's side room a long time ago, just to take care of her at all times.

Around noon, Mu Xueliu came over in the snow.

After warming up at the door of the house for a long time, he dared to approach Yun Yuan, "Is Mrs. Shen's health feeling better?"

There was a gentle smile on Mu Xueliu's face, like the warmest beam of light in winter, which warmed people's hearts.

Yunyuan nodded and motioned for her to sit down, "I'm much better now, but I'm bothered by the concubine's frequent visits to see me."

Yunyuan and Mu Xueliu met unexpectedly at the palace banquet at the end of the year a year ago.

On the surface, Mu Xueliu has a good temper and a good heart, so he can get along with everyone, and Yun Yuan is no exception.

Although there was a teenage difference between the two, there was no barrier between them in terms of speech and behavior, and they also had similar interests, so it didn't take long for them to become friends.

After Yunyuan fell ill, Mu Xueliu also came over every now and then, either to talk to her or to give her small handmade gifts, which made Yunyuan very happy every time.

Hearing this, Mu Xueliu's mouth showed a touch of softness, and her voice was gentle and pleasant, which made the listener feel very comfortable. "What are you talking about, Mrs. Shen? What you have to do now is to recover your health as soon as possible. Next spring, we happened to go outside the city to perform incense.

By the way, I heard that the Peace Talisman of Chenglu Temple was very effective, so I went to ask for one with Ziqian. Madam, if you keep it, you will definitely get better quickly. "

After saying this, he took out a delicate and small peace charm from his sleeve and tied it to Yunyuan's waist.

There was a hint of unconcealable joy in the depths of Yun Yuan's eyes, and her gaze towards Mu Xueliu became increasingly gentle, "I accept the concubine's wishes."

As he said that, he suddenly remembered something and looked behind Mu Xueliu, "Where's Ziqian, didn't you come with him?"

Mu Xueliu shook his head, "The weather is cold these days, so he stayed with me for a few days. After he came back, he fell ill and is now being nursed back to health in the mansion."

A flash of concern flashed in Yunyuan's eyes, "Is the illness serious?"

Mu Xueliu smiled and said, "It's just a little cold. My husband is in strong health and will be fine after a few days of rest. Madam, you need to be more careful."

"By the way, I heard that Miss Shen has been back from Yuncheng for a while. Why haven't I seen her show up yet?"

"Qingqing is a filial girl. She has taken care of me day and night since she came back. From time to time, she would go out to the medicine shop outside to look for good medicines. It was the same today. She went out early in the morning, and it will probably be later in the evening. to come back.”

Mu Xueliu's eyes were full of admiration, "I have always heard that Miss Shen is a good girl, not only good-natured but also good-tempered. Now it seems that the rumors are still too conservative."

No one wants to hear other people praise their children, and Yun Yuan is the same, "Concubine, thank you very much. Speaking of which, we have known each other for a year, and you and Qingqing have only met twice."

Mu Xueliu continued, with the smile still on her lips, "Don't worry, after Miss Shen and Zi Qian have decided to get married, there will be plenty of opportunities to meet. When the time comes, I will also call Mrs. Yun my aunt."

There was a smile in Yun Yuan's eyes, but when she thought of Shen Qing's resistance to the marriage, her heart sank.

"The side concubine is right. Qingqing will be pregnant in May next year. When the time comes, letting the two juniors get married will be considered as one of my worries."

Mu Xueliu nodded in agreement, "It was summer at that time, which happened to be a good day to get married."

After talking about Shen Qing and Mu Ziqian's marriage, Mu Xueliu told Yun Yuan some interesting things about the prince's residence, causing laughter in the room.

When Shen Qing came back, Mu Xueliu had already left, but when Shen Qing heard the news of Mu Xueliu's visit from the maids, Shen Qing still couldn't help but frown.

If nothing unexpected happens, Mu Xueliu may talk to Yunyuan about her marriage to Mu Ziqian again...

Sure enough, as soon as Shen Qing took off her cold robe and walked into Yunyuan's house, she heard the latter say: "Qingqing, you will be old enough in May next year. Mom will find someone to settle the matter. In May Twenty-eight is a good day, how about you and Ziqian getting married then?"

Although she knew that she shouldn't go against Yunyuan's wishes at this time, Shen Qing couldn't help but grimace, "Mother, I've said before, I don't agree with this marriage, and I don't like Mu Ziqian either."

Yunyuan had expected such a result, but she couldn't help but feel a flash of disappointment in her eyes, and her voice was a little helpless, "Qingqing, why don't you understand? Zi Qian is the only legitimate son of the Yangling Marquis Mansion. You Once you marry, you will be Mrs. Hou, and besides, he has a good temperament and good looks, so you won't suffer any injustice if you marry him. As for your so-called liking..."

Yunyuan paused before continuing: "Qingqing, you are still young, so you don't know that so-called love is just a lie. Only power and wealth are what you can truly grasp."

When it comes to wealth, Yunyuan has no shortage of it. To say that he is worth millions is to be honest and modest. Therefore, what Yunyuan wants to find for Shen Qing is a husband with a clean family background and a docile nature. Mu Ziqian is undoubtedly the best. Candidate.

Shen Qing disagreed with Yun Yuan's words and retorted: "Mother is wrong, Daddy is sincere to Aunt Xie. Aunt Xie has been married for more than ten years, and Daddy has never brought another concubine into the family..."

Before Shen Qing finished speaking, Yun Yuan interrupted him coldly: "Qingqing!"

There is no doubt that Shen Qing's words deeply hurt Yun Yuan's heart.

After a long silence, Yun Yuan said again with certainty: "Just because your father hasn't changed his mind now doesn't mean he won't in the future. Women's looks will age sooner or later, but men always like bright and beautiful women."

Shen Qing still disagreed with Yun Yuan's words, and the resistance on his face became more and more obvious. After thinking for a while, he responded: "Mom, I already have someone I like. He treats me very well. I think..."

Before Shen Qing finished speaking, he was interrupted by Yun Yuan again, "The man you like? You met him in Yuncheng, right?"

Shen Qing didn't say anything, but Yun Yuan had already guessed it, and her face fell instantly, "I don't agree!"

Seeing Yun Yuan so stubborn, Shen Qing couldn't hold back the anger in his heart, "Since mother doesn't agree, then I will tell you clearly that I will not marry Mu Ziqian, unless mother really wants to force me to death!"

"You!" Yun Yuan pointed at Shen Qing angrily, and the next moment he felt a sweetness in his throat, spit out a mouthful of blood, and then closed his eyes and fell backwards weakly.

"Mother!" Shen Qing panicked and hurriedly supported Yun Yuan's limp body, but she looked pale and lifeless.

"Chan Yi, call the doctor!"

...

After a lot of trouble, Yun Yuan's condition was finally temporarily stabilized, but she was still unconscious.

In front of the bed, the doctor looked at Shen Qing and said seriously: "Miss, Madam's body is already exhausted. I'm afraid she won't have much time left. Don't let her get angry again in the future, otherwise even Hua Tuo can't save her."

Shen Qing pursed her lips and remained silent for a long time before she said "OK" to the doctor.

After wiping the sweat off Yun Yuan's forehead and tucking the corner of the quilt for Yun Yuan, Shen Qing called Chan Yi to bring a pen and ink, and began to write a letter to Yun Xiaoxiao.

Yun Yuan's condition was much more serious than Shen Qing expected. Even the imperial physician in the palace said that how long she could live depended on her life, but Shen Qing didn't believe it. She wanted Yun Xiaoxiao to come and diagnose Yun Yuan.

After explaining the cause and effect of the incident clearly, Shen Qing stuffed the letter into the envelope and asked Chan Yi to deliver the letter to Yuncheng as quickly as possible.

Not long after Chan Yi left, Shen Yian pushed the door in. Seeing that Yun Yuan was still asleep, he looked at Shen Qing, "Qingqing, how is your mother's illness?"

Shen Qing looked up at Shen Yian, but there was no trace of joy and gentleness that children should have when seeing their father on his face. There was only a strong indifference and alienation.

"The doctor and the imperial physician have already seen it, and they all said that there is not much time left."

Shen Qing's voice was very faint, but if you listen carefully, you can hear a trace of sadness that cannot be concealed.

Seeing the tiredness on Shen Qing's face, Shen Yian's eyes flashed with heartache, "I have wronged you these days."

As he said, he wanted to step forward and touch Shen Qing's hair, but Shen Qing took a step back and dodged him directly.

Shen Qing raised his eyes and looked directly into Shen Yian's eyes, "If possible, I hope you can spend more time with my mother."

Although Yun Yuan never said it, Shen Qing knew that Yun Yuan had feelings for Shen Yian, but from beginning to end, Shen Yian only had Xie Ling in his eyes.

Yun Yuan's marriage was tragic, so she didn't believe in love, and she didn't want Shen Qing to believe it.

Shen Yian nodded and agreed, "Don't worry, I will accompany her well these days. You go and rest, your mother is here, I am here."

Shen Qing responded lightly and turned to leave.

Looking at Shen Qing's slender but resolute back, Shen Yian's eyes flashed with helplessness.

Because of Xie Ling's matter, Shen Qing had been estranged from her since childhood, but she didn't know that as a father, she also had many sorrows that she couldn't tell.

It wasn't until Shen Qing's back completely disappeared from his sight that Shen Yi'an retracted his gaze, sighed and sat down on the bed.

The many grievances between him and Yun Yuan could not be explained in a few words, and the relationship between the two of them was an obvious fact.

But this marriage was wrong from the beginning... However, as a son and a subject, Shen Yi'an had no right to refuse, so he could only watch this tragedy step by step towards a tragic ending.

...

It was two days later when Yun Yuan woke up again.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Shen Yi'an sitting in front of his bed, and the blue stubble on his chin showed that he had been here for some time.

A flash of surprise flashed across Yun Yuan's face, but a trace of joy flashed across her eyes involuntarily, "Why is the Marquis here?"

"As your husband, you are sick, so I naturally have to come to see you. Do you feel better now?"

Although Shen Yian did not love Yun Yuan, he had never lacked the ceremony and care that a wife should have over the years.

Yun Yuan curled her lips, "Well, I'm much better now."

Yun Yuan cherished such a rare warm moment very much.

After Yun Yuan woke up, Shen Yian stayed with her for a few more days until Yun Xiaoxiao came to Shengjing, and Shen Yian left.

Yun Xiaoxiao's diagnosis was the same as that of the imperial physician. Yun Yuan's illness was a heart disease, and now her heart had long been desolate, so naturally there was no cure.

Shen Qing's heart instantly sank, but she still held on.

However, Shen Qing knew very well in her heart that she was afraid that she would have to compromise on some things.

In the face of Yun Yuan's life and death, all resistance seems so powerless and pale.
