Chapter 110 The Truth
Jiang Li's intuition told her that she absolutely could not deny it at this moment, otherwise, her tears might be in vain.
Sure enough, after getting this answer, Li Jinyuan's eyebrows and eyes relaxed visibly.
"Be good, then I will never take a concubine."
The man curled his thin lips and kissed the tear marks on the girl's cheek in a very good mood.
When she cried, his heart felt like it was pierced by needles. She was really his little ancestor...
"But if that's the case... the Queen..."
"I'll handle it."
"Oh……"
Seeing this, Jiang Li was relieved. To avoid being caught in the middle, she just let them solve it themselves.
After all, her time is very precious. Jiang Li couldn't help but feel excited when she thought that her own small homestay was about to take shape.
……
On the other side, Li Junlin recalled Xue Yi again.
"It's been almost a week, and there's still no progress?"
Xue Yi lowered his head, his heart in his throat.
"Reporting to the prince, there is still no..."
"The servants who went out to purchase goods for the Third Prince's Mansion are still operating as usual. I haven't seen any strangers coming in or out, let alone the Third Prince..."
Seeing Li Junlin's eyes as cold as a thin knife, Xue Yi tried to calm his anger.
"It's really strange that the Third Prince hasn't left the palace for such a long time. Maybe... maybe his body is already at the end of its strength!"
Upon hearing this, Li Junlin narrowed his evil eyes, a dark light flashed across his eyes, filled with a cold chill that made people's backs chill.
"You are right. Since the Third Imperial Brother is not in good health, I, as his elder brother, must go and visit him."
……
The Palace of the Three Princes, Linfeng Palace.
Li Jinyuan was lying on the bed in a thin robe, his long black hair spread out behind his head, his face covered with Jiang Li's powder, his skin was frighteningly pale.
Jiang Li looked at her masterpiece with satisfaction, and added the finishing touch of covering up his already rosy lips.
"Okay!"
Hearing this familiar word again, Li Jinyuan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and asked curiously.
"What does it mean?"
"Ok?"
Jiang Li closed her makeup lid, somewhat confused about what the man meant.
"It's... Oak? You've said it a few times, but I don't understand what you mean."
"Well..." Jiang Li chuckled, knelt down beside the bed, supported her elbows on the bed, held her cheek, and looked amused.
"OK" means it's okay, it means you agree or there's no problem.
Li Jinyuan turned sideways to look at her, his eyes filled with an incomprehensible emotion.
"Is that so? Then, how did Lili know what it means? What language is this?"
"Uh...well..."
Jiang Li slowly lowered her head, burying half of her face in her hands.
Why do I suddenly feel like I'm shooting myself in the foot?
Suddenly, she had an idea.
"Oh! I remember now. When I was a child, I had a serious illness! Shen Ping was afraid that something might happen to me in the mansion, so she sent me to a farm in the suburbs to fend for myself..."
"But I was lucky enough to meet an old doctor who helped people everywhere. He not only cured my illness, but also taught me a lot of knowledge. That's how I learned a little about pharmacology. He's from Dongli, and I heard this sentence from him. Maybe it's his hometown dialect..."
Jiang Li quietly raised her eyes to gauge the man's expression, wondering if her clumsy excuse could fool him.
"I see. No wonder Lili is so proficient in pharmacology and was able to accurately ask Qi Yu to find the Golden Snake Grass to detoxify me."
The girl smiled awkwardly, wondering how she could have forgotten about this.
But fortunately, after she explained it this way, he probably wouldn't be suspicious anymore...
Besides, this medical skill is something the original owner already knows, but she has never shown it in front of ordinary people. Now this little vest has naturally come to her.
After checking the time and seeing that Li Junlin had not arrived yet, Jiang Li wanted to chat with the man, hoping that his attention would no longer be on her medical skills.
"While I was recuperating, I happened to save a little boy. It was the dead of winter, and he was almost frozen to death by the lake. Trying to get him out, my legs cramped..."
"But it's really strange. How could such a young boy have so many wounds? The lake water is already freezing, and the wounds are about to get infected after being soaked in it..."
Jiang Li was lying on the bed with her face propped up, not noticing that the man's pupils suddenly dilated, as if he had heard something unbelievable.
"Little boy? Where did Lili rescue that little boy...?"
Jiang Li finally noticed the man's abnormality. When her almond eyes met his eager gaze, she suddenly felt a little at a loss.
"It's just... in a lake."
"Is it Fan Qingshan's lake?"
He was indeed a little excited now. Jiang Li couldn't help but frown. What did this matter have to do with him?
"Right... What's wrong? Do you know that little boy?"
Li Jinyuan's taut nerves suddenly broke. The huge impact made his breathing uncontrollably quicken. His hands hanging on the bed suddenly clenched into fists, as if he was trying hard to restrain something.
Thinking back carefully, he did see Ji Qingwan by his side the first moment he opened his eyes, but this didn't seem to mean that she was the one who saved him...
At that time, the clothes she was wearing were all dry, but the young boy did not suspect anything and just thought they were new clothes brought to her by the servants who came later.
Unexpectedly, Ji Qingwan had been praising him as his savior for so many years! And Lili, the one who actually saved him, had been neglected by him for so long after marrying into the Third Prince's Mansion, and had been subjected to malicious speculation from the outside world...
Huge regret and heartache flooded the man like a tide. Looking at the blue veins on his forehead that bulged out from his forbearance, Jiang Li's frown deepened.
Is Li Jinyuan's empathy so strong now? Is he feeling sorry for the little boy?
"Don't worry, the little boy was found by his family later, so nothing should happen to him... Okay?"
Li Jinyuan suddenly sat up from the bed, reached out to pull Jiang Li onto the bed, and hugged her tightly in his arms.
Jiang Li was a little confused. What happened to him today? Why was he so sensitive?
"Lili...I'm sorry."
The girl felt suffocated in his embrace, her cheek pressed against his neck, so she couldn't see his expression at all.
"Why are you apologizing to me?"
Li Jinyuan's eyes had turned red from his endurance. He clasped the back of her dark head with his big hand, and her throat felt as if a huge stone was blocking it.
"I……"
"The great prince has arrived!"
