The Gilded Cage Chapter 96

Lunar New Year - This feeling of being taken into consideration by others was very unfamiliar to her now. (2)

After a while, her eyes were flushed and her face was red. She endured the discomfort in her eyelids, chin, and neck. After finishing for him, she turned around and walked back to her room.

"Madam!" Cui He hurriedly closed the door, poured a large cup of tea for her, and waited for her to drink it before she sat down on the bed.

Chu Ning sat in a trance for a moment, then suddenly pulled Cui He to sit down, patted her hand and smiled, "Don't be sad, I'm fine."

Cui He pinched her fingertips and did not speak, but her heart was still saddened.

"It's just that I was in the Feishuang Palace, and I forgot to drink the medicine." Chu Ning had always been alert and almost never forgot about this, but she was really shocked by what happened today, so she forgot about it.

She was going to ask Cui He to quietly cook a bowl, but the other took out a small bottle from her cuff. "Your Highness, this is what Chief Eunuch Liu asked me to give you. Take one pill a day, it’s a contraceptive. His Majesty personally asked Feng Yu to prepare the pills, and they are less harmful to the body than the recipe than Your Highness used in the past. Chief Eunuch Liu also said that His Majesty misses Your Highness and asks you to take this for the time being. "

Chu Ning was stunned for a while, opened the bottle in her hand, poured out a small black pill, looked at it for a long time, and then silently gulped it down with water.

She remembered what he said.

"If I don’t let you die, you won't die"

"Not for anyone else, but only for yourself."

It was her own decision to take the contraceptive soup. For two years, she herself hadn't cared about the harm that the concoction would do to her body, but he was very careful and even really thought of a way for her.

She had indescribable complex emotions in her heart. She was surprised, moved, and even a little bit ashamed, nervous, and afraid.

This feeling of being taken into consideration by others was very unfamiliar to her now.

"Before, Zhao Sizhi asked people to come and ask if you want to descend the mountain on the second."

Cui He's words interrupted her thoughts and pulled her back.

On the second day of the first lunar month, during the celebrations in the palace, the holiday for farmers was also her mother's birthday.

This day was the most important day for her father before his death, and he remembered more than his own birthday.

In the past two years, every day on this day, she would leave the palace and pay homage to her parents' graves, and this year would be no exception.

"Yes." She nodded and said, "When it's dawn, tell someone to bring him the message that I'll go with him as before."

Cui He replied in a low voice and helped her wash up again. When she saw her lying down, she turned off the light and exited the inner room.

After falling asleep, Chu Ning had a whole night of bizarre dreams. For a while, her father held herself as a little girl and brought her for a walk in the bright spring in the suburbs. For a while, Xiao Yu asked her why she betrayed her with a sullen face, and coerced her to kill Zhao Yanzhou...

All the fragmented pictures turned into a person in the end - Xiao Kezhi.

He stared at her condescendingly and slowly extended a hand to her.

He said, "Come over yourself."

She wanted to say "Okay" and walk over, but her throat seemed to be blocked, and she couldn't make a sound. Her legs were weighed down like lead, and she could only stare at him blankly.

...

"Your Highness!" Cui He's voice came from her ear, awakening her from her dream.

She was covered in sweat and slowly sat up from the bed. She looked at the bright sky and asked, "What time is it?"

Cui He wiped her sweat with the handkerchief in her hand, and with a little worry in her eyes, said, "It’s time now. Did Your Highness just have a nightmare?"

Chu Ning nodded. "I had some strange dreams, probably because I stayed up too late last night. What about His Highness?"

"His Royal Highness went out a long time ago. When he heard that Your Highness was asleep, he didn’t let anyone wake her up. If Your Highness is still tired, you might as well rest for a while."

Hearing that Xiao Yu had left, Chu Ning immediately felt two times as relaxed. Although there was still a feeling of being run over all over her body, her spirit was much better, so she shook her head and stood up. After washing up, she had breakfast.

Today was the first day of the first lunar month, a good day.

She called all the maids and servants who came to the Crown Prince’s Tang to the main hall and smiled as she distributed the rewards one by one. The few who were punished by Xiao Yu in the past few days have also been given some extra money.

The always tense Crown Prince’s Tang estate finally showed joy.

Everyone smiled and thanked her, said a few auspicious words boldly, and went down and rested.

Chu Ning looked at a few maids in the courtyard who were shoveling snow and gradually started to play around, and she was very happy.

Without him, it really looked like the New Year.
