Priceless: A widow with a baby asks the prince to marry again

Chapter 195 Farewell to Chu Shiyu

Fang Qiu patted Liu Rusi lightly to show her comfort and approval. She was not shy in front of Prince Duan and dared to honestly express her feelings for her late husband. This character was very much to her liking!

Chu Shiyu glanced at Fang Qiu's hand quietly, then ignored it. Firstly, his heart was still heavy, and secondly, he was going to take Fang Qiu to the northwest tomorrow anyway!

"Fang Qiu, with a surname of origin, is destined to be an upright person."

The old Taoist suddenly spoke again: "In autumn, there will be wheat with fire. As long as you can see the fields, you will become a hero among humans one day."

Compared to Changning's not-so-good fortune-telling, this fortune-telling was exactly what Fang Qiu had in mind! Fang Qiu immediately raised his eyebrows and said happily: "Thank you, old Taoist priest! Now I feel relieved!"

After talking about Fang Qiu, the old Taoist finally set his gaze on the child who was looking at him quietly, with a kind smile like an ordinary old man.

"You! You have gone through all the ups and downs. With the blessing of your ancestors and the care of God, you will surely have great fortunes in your life!"

This sentence has been heard in Baitian Temple before, so little Qin Hao was not surprised. He accepted it calmly and said with a silly smile: "Thank you, Grandpa, the master of the temple!"

When Liu Rusi heard about her son's good fortune, her previous depression disappeared.

However... after vaguely guessing those secrets, the Taoist's words sounded more like blessings and expectations to her than fortune-telling.

But she was even more grateful for the selfless love and the protection at the cost of her life. Qin Hao had everything that was once out of her reach.

Isn’t it a great blessing to have all these?

After telling fortunes for everyone, the old Taoist priest was obviously running out of energy, and his eyes kept drooping.

The group also said goodbye to the Taoist priest at the appropriate time.

However, Liu Rusi did not leave immediately. Instead, she called the imperial physician over, took out a gold ingot and quietly handed it to him, saying, "Excuse me, the old man cannot move, you need to help him turn over and clean him from time to time, and take him out to bask in the sun on sunny days... You must know all this."

The imperial physician held the heavy object in his hand, but still looked hesitant and conflicted.

"Once His Royal Highness Prince Duan is satisfied, I will thank you later." Liu Rusi's subtext is that if you take good care of him, there will be benefits in the future.

The imperial physician had been in the palace for many years, so he could naturally hear that before, the Imperial Hospital had to look at Concubine Xian's face and would not agree to Prince Duan's request even if they had money... But now Concubine Xian has lost her power...

After weighing the ingot in his hand again, the imperial physician calmed down and nodded, saying, "Your Majesty has asked us to take good care of you. Naturally, we will do our best. Your Highness Prince Duan can rest assured."

Liu Rusi nodded in relief. As a medical worker, she knew very well that there was a difference between caring for someone and taking good care of them. There was a world of difference between just leaving someone there and worrying that they would not die and being meticulous and considerate in every detail.

Even though he also has not much time left, she hopes that this old man who has suffered a lifetime in the world can live a better life...

Back at Yunxuan Palace, night had fallen.

Chu Shiyu sent people back to prepare the luggage for tomorrow morning, but he couldn't bear to be separated from Liu Rusi for a moment, so he snatched Liu Rusi away from Changning and Fang Qiu and locked her in the room where he slept!

Even though he was still worried that Liu Rusi would lure him into "walking marriage" again, his desire to sleep with Liu Rusi had never changed!

In this regard, Chu Shiyu's countermeasure is to hold the neatly dressed person in his arms and not let him move at will! In case she suddenly teases him again!

Liu Rusi felt helpless and amused... I don't want to talk about this man's illness anymore. The point is... she didn't move, but she didn't hinder him! Can pressing on her thigh really make it go away?

"Are you sure you can sleep like this... How about I go find an empty room next door and sleep while you take a shower?"

"No...I want to hold you while sleeping."

Chu Shiyu's breathing was heavy. This situation was really unbearable... But in the few hours before dawn, only by holding her tightly could he ease his reluctance...

The phrase "reluctant farewell" is tailor-made for this moment.

Liu Rusi said softly helplessly: "If you don't want to marry, I won't force you... Just like before, lend a hand... and go to bed early, okay?"

Chu Shiyu was in a very difficult situation, so he naturally wanted to agree, but he persisted for a while and tried to say, "Wait until I come back from the war. If the three-year period has passed, we can get married, right?"

This flag is so classic... Liu Rusi was uneasy for a moment, and then she scolded: "Don't push it! If you don't want to help me, let go! It's very uncomfortable for you to hold me like this, okay?"

“Borrow, borrow, borrow!”

In the night, in a room of the palace, there was a ridiculous scene...

...

And in the imperial study.

The emperor just finished listening to the conversation between the last crown prince and Chu Shiyu and his party in the Imperial Hospital today...

"Everyone gets a fortune told, even the medicine boy? He really seems like a Taoist who is obsessed with yin and yang divination..." The emperor sneered, obviously not quite believing it.

But what I couldn't help but repeat in my heart was the old Taoist's words, "It's a good thing to have an end."

The night before, Chu Shiyu said, "Why not send someone to find the elixir of life?"

The emperor sneered again, dismissed Eunuch Wang who was reporting the news, and buried himself in the endless state affairs again...

……

The dimness of the autumn morning gradually took away the light of the candles in the house.

Chu Shiyu finally stopped his gaze and carefully and gently pulled out his arm from under the beauty's neck, but the sleeping person still opened her sleepy eyes.

"You sleep a little longer, I'm leaving."

Liu Rusi sat up, yawned and said, "I'll see you off."

"No need. It's cold outside in the early morning and you won't be leaving the palace." Chu Shiyu wrapped her in the quilt again.

"Then send it to the palace gate."

Liu Rusi opened the quilt, got out of bed to get her coat, and before Chu Shiyu could refuse, she said seriously, "It is said that the more you give, the deeper your love. If you don't let me give to you, how can I keep you in my heart?"

Chu Shiyu paused for a moment. Although he felt that her reasoning was the opposite, that it was because of her deep love that she wanted to give her the best with all she had... However, he couldn't refuse her because she was willing to invest her feelings in him.

As it was not appropriate to publicise the war at the moment, there was no formal farewell.

As soon as they reached the palace gate, Chu Shiyu and a delicate little eunuch got into a relatively simple carriage.

All the words of farewell had been said, and the two just stared at each other for a long time. After Liu Rusi smiled and raised her head to say goodbye, Chu Shiyu finally hardened his heart and lowered the curtain.

The carriage wheels rolled and soon disappeared from sight.

"Madam, it's windy here, shall we go in early?" Meihong and Chunlan advised in a low voice.

I turned my gaze from the corner where the carriage disappeared, and looked at the peddlers who had already started to get busy...

Liu Rusi discovered that the time to truly see one's true feelings for a person is often when they are separated...

Just like when Qin Lie died, she realized how painful it was to lose the one you love...

Just like now, she found that Chu Shiyu had become a part of her life...

Even though he still believed that what he did was right, the reluctance in his heart also emerged clearly, and made him doubt whether it was too cruel and ruthless to force Chu Shiyu to choose the so-called right choice?

Turning around, Liu Rusi smiled at the two girls and said, "Come in."
