I was taken aback for a moment, feeling a pang of sadness in my heart.
“Xiao Yi, you really don’t have to do this.”
“I’ve already avenged myself.”
Xiao Yi looked at me in surprise upon hearing this.
“How did you take your revenge?”
I smiled and replied, “I captured Father Qian, asked him some questions, and gave him a beating.”
Xiao Yi looked at me with astonishment.
“You actually hit him?”
I nodded.
“He deserved it.”
“He initially pledged loyalty to you, but when you died, he turned to King Xuan.”
“Someone like that deserves to be punished.”
Xiao Yi paused for a moment after hearing this.
“So you knew all along.”
I nodded.
“I’ve been seeking the truth about your death all these years.”
Xiao Yi sighed, looking at me with eyes full of guilt.
“Qian Qian, I feel the same way.”
“I was also the one who brought you suffering.”
After autumn arrived, Xiao Yi’s old injuries flared up several times.
Although he usually appeared strong-willed, this time it seemed quite painful for him.
Luo Yu called for a physician who prescribed medicine daily.
He arranged for me to deliver medicine to Xiao Yi every day.
Xiao Yi was very resistant to taking his medicine.
Each time I brought it to him, he could come up with various excuses to avoid drinking it.
Not only that, but he also mocked me.
“Princess, you’re so small and frail; you shouldn’t be working so hard all day.”
“You should drink more nourishing soup instead.”
“Otherwise, people will say my Prince Zhongshan’s Mansion is mistreating the princess.”
I gritted my teeth in anger.
One time, I saw him about to pour the medicine out.
I rushed forward to stop him.
But he reached out and pulled me over. I fell into his arms, and at that moment, he revealed a smile. Xiao Yi's eyes were beautiful, deep like ink, so deep that they seemed bottomless. I was momentarily dazed by his gaze and forgot to stop him. Seizing the opportunity, he placed the medicine bowl on the table and then looked down at me.
"Why are you looking at me like that, Princess?"
"Am I not charming you?"
After saying this, he laughed heartily and left. I stood there, watching his retreating figure, momentarily at a loss for words. Luo Yu walked over, looked at me, and sighed, "He takes medicine like a soldier; he's quite cunning."
"If he doesn't take the medicine, his old injuries won't heal."
Hearing this made me feel uneasy. "Why won't he take the medicine?"
Luo Yu looked at me and said, "He has something on his mind."
"What is it?"
Luo Yu looked at me but remained silent. I sighed and picked up the medicine bowl. "I'll keep an eye on him while he takes his medicine."
"If he refuses to drink it, I'll watch him every day."
Luo Yu smiled. "Then you'll have to put in some effort."
I made up my mind to deliver medicine to Xiao Yi every day. No matter what he said, I wouldn't leave. "Xiao Yi, you must take your medicine today."
I held the medicine bowl firmly, looking at Xiao Yi with determination. Xiao Yi looked at me with some helplessness. "Princess, why must you be like this?"
"If you drink the medicine, I'll leave."
Xiao Yi looked at me and sighed. He picked up the medicine bowl but didn't drink from it; instead, he pulled me toward a patch of flowers. "What do you think of these flowers?"
I felt a bit puzzled.
"Xiao Yi, what are you doing this for?"
Xiao Yi smiled and poured the medicine into the flower bushes.
In just a moment, all the flowers in the bushes wilted.
I was taken aback for a moment, then quickly realized.
"This medicine is poisonous?"
Xiao Yi nodded.
"Luo Yu has grievances against you and me."
"Back then, I rebelled because I had treasonous thoughts."
"The Emperor was furious and regarded Luo Yu's clan, as well as my adoptive father, as traitors."
"On that day in Rocheng, many people lost their lives."
"My adoptive father and the people of Rocheng all perished in that great fire."
I was stunned, feeling a bit shocked.
"So, Luo Yu harbors resentment towards you?"
Xiao Yi nodded.
"I have wronged him."
"I vowed to avenge my adoptive father, but I also caused the death of his family."
I lowered my head, looking at the wilted flowers, feeling a sense of discomfort in my heart.
"Xiao Yi, what I send every day is poison."
"I..."
Xiao Yi reached out and patted my shoulder.
"This matter is not your fault."
"If there is blame, it can only be placed on me."
I lowered my head, filled with self-reproach and regret.
