After rebirth, she turned around and married the emperor's uncle and tore the scumbag apart

Chapter 448: Admitting Mistakes and Submitting

When Xiao Yu woke up, it was already evening.

I slowly opened my eyes and saw Su Lingyue sitting on the bed reading a book, while Yan Qing and Li Jing were sitting at the table.

"Yue'er."

Xiao Yu spoke in a hoarse voice. His throat hurt badly, but the stuffiness in his chest made him cough.

Hearing the sound, Su Lingyue hurriedly put down the book and looked at the person lying on the bed.

Xiao Yu looked pale, frowned and coughed violently.

"Your Highness." Su Lingyue called softly, and then said to Yan Qing and Li Jing who walked to the bedside: "Hot tea."

Yan Qing was used to taking care of Xiao Yu, so he walked swiftly to the stove, poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to Su Lingyue.

After drinking half a cup of hot tea, Xiao Yu finally stopped coughing. He lay down with his eyes closed and took a deep breath. Su Lingyue held Xiao Yu's wrist and felt his pulse.

When Li Jing saw Xiao Yu like this, she was overwhelmed by deep guilt, which made it difficult for her to breathe.

She was excited for the moment and forgot that Xiao Yu should not get angry, which made him act like this.

Li Jing knelt on the floor with a plop and sincerely confessed: "Prince, please punish me! As long as you can calm down, any punishment is fine."

Su Lingyue asked Li Jing what she and Xiao Yu had said, but Li Jing refused to say.

After several months of getting along, Su Lingyue has completely understood Li Jing's personality and knows that she is straightforward and has no bad intentions.

Xiao Yu would handle the matter between them when he woke up, so she didn't ask any further questions.

Now seeing Li Jing, who had never bowed her head before, kneeling down to Xiao Yu, he was shocked.

Su Lingyue originally reached out her hand to pull her up, but when she saw the guilt on Li Jing's face, she withdrew her hand.

Xiao Yu took a few deep breaths before he felt the tightness in his chest was not as severe.

He opened his eyes, looked at Su Lingyue tenderly and said, "Yue'er, help me up."

"Yeah." Su Lingyue responded, and with the help of Yan Qing, helped him sit up.

Xiao Yu leaned on the soft pillow, looking at Li Jing kneeling beside the bed with a guilty look on her face. He curled the corners of his lips and chuckled playfully: "You have always been unruly, but it's rare that you admit your mistakes and give in."

Yan Qing, who was standing obediently beside the bed, was also surprised to see this scene.

Among these people, Sister Jing is the one who has no rivals. She doesn't take anyone seriously and looks at everyone with 30% calmness, 30% disdain and 40% contempt.

At this moment, he admitted his mistake so obediently.

Li Jing knelt straight, lowered her head and looked sincere: "I have followed the prince for so many years, and the prince has never made any mistakes. It was my fault. I shouldn't have distrusted you, argued with you, and caused you to have the poison. As long as the prince can calm down, I will accept any punishment."

Yan Qing had a worried look on his face. He looked at Li Jing and then at Xiao Yu, but he didn't say anything in the end. After all, the prince was really poisoned, so it would be good to vent his anger.

The prince has always been kind and lenient, so I don't think the punishment will be too severe.

Xiao Yu looked at her, put away his previous teasing, and said seriously: "Then do as you said, protect the princess well. The rest is the same as before, just trust me, I will complete the tasks entrusted by all of you."

In the past, those who broke the law and discipline in the manor would be punished with flogging or caning. Li Jing had already prepared herself for the punishment, but she didn't expect Xiao Yu to let it go so lightly.

Li Jing looked at Xiao Yu, and after a moment of shock, their eyes met, and all that was left was trust and loyalty.

"Yes! I obey your command." Li Jing lowered his head and replied seriously and firmly.

Su Lingyue looked at Li Jing, then at Xiao Yu, and asked doubtfully: "So, you guys are arguing because of me?"

Li Jing didn't say anything.

Xiao Yu nodded, "Well, she felt that I was not good to you and should get rid of all those who were a threat to you and should not let you worry, so we had an argument."

"So that's how it is!" Su Lingyue blinked, but the doubts in her heart were not completely eliminated. She didn't believe that the two would quarrel over such a trivial matter.

Li Jing was still kneeling, her expression returning to her usual indifferent and cold look, "Yes, that's true. I asked the prince to clear out all the people who were a threat to you at once, but the prince wanted to clear them out slowly, so we had a dispute."

Su Lingyue looked at the calm look on Li Jing's face and didn't think she was lying, and Li Jing would never lie to her.

"In fact, it's no different now than it was before. This is the capital, and those Huns don't dare to come and abduct me openly."

Su Lingyue stood up, walked forward to help Li Jing up, held her hand and smiled softly, "Besides, Jing, you are always by my side, I don't feel scared at all. The prince has his own considerations, so just follow his plan. The prince is very good to me, and I trust him."

Li Jing lowered her eyes, looked at the hand holding her, and said in a slow voice: "Okay, I will follow the prince's arrangements from now on. With me here, you won't be in any danger."

Hearing such a serious promise, Su Lingyue couldn't help but feel tears in her eyes.

She knew that Li Jing had been protecting her seriously in every aspect over the past few months.

Su Lingyue nodded with red eyes, "Yes, Ah Jing, thank you. Don't worry, if it's not something important, I won't run around and cause you trouble."

Li Jing looked up at her with a haughty expression: "You can go wherever you want. I will protect you. No one can touch you."

"Wow, Ajing, you are so nice." Su Lingyue couldn't hold back any longer and hugged her, crying freely.

Li Jing pushed her away in disgust, but when she didn't push, she just let her hug her.

Yan Qing had a kind face and nodded continuously, like a concerned old father who saw his disobedient child reconcile.

Xiao Yu let out a long sigh, leaned back on the soft pillow and looked at Li Jing. Li Jing nodded and made a promise to Xiao Yu.

Taking advantage of the night, Jiang Siqi rode to Prince Su's Mansion.

Su Lingyue welcomed him into the bedroom and was shocked when she saw Xiao Yu leaning against the head of the bed with a sick face.

He had seen Xiao Yu many times, but had never seen him so weak.

He sat down on the stool beside the bed and asked carefully, "Your Highness, you have been ill for two months. Are you still not well?"

Xiao Yu smiled and said, "It's just a little repetitive, it's okay."

Jiang Siqi frowned and nodded, saying worriedly, "It's good that nothing serious is wrong. If you are missing any medicine, just let me know. You can take any herbs from the Jiang family's pharmacy."

After Xiao Yu nodded, he told Jiang Siqi the purpose of his visit. "The eighth courtyard in Wuyi Lane was confiscated by the government before, and now someone else lives there. Second Young Master, please tell Lord Jiang to help me secretly investigate how the courtyard came into the hands of that person, and don't let others know."

After a pause, Jiang Siqi hesitated and asked, "Your Majesty, is it dangerous to investigate this?"

Xiao Yu said: "No, tell Lord Jiang, it's just a normal check of the house registration in the capital."

Jiang Siqi understood. It was just a normal household registration check and just paying attention to the yard in passing, so it wouldn't arouse suspicion.

His dad spends some time on these things every year, so it should be fine.

Moreover, the prince is now a family to them and will definitely not put their father in danger.

"Okay!" Jiang Siqi agreed readily, "I'll tell my dad when I get home."

"There is one more thing." Xiao Yu continued, "Is it convenient to ask the former craftsmen to rebuild the burned courtyard?"

Jiang Siqi said, "My eldest brother is in charge of those craftsmen. I'll go back and ask him."

"Well, thank you."

After sending Jiang Siqi away, Su Lingyue walked to the bedside and sat down, gently persuading him: "Now that you are ill, it is time for you to rest well and rebuild Muyunxuan in a few days!"

Xiao Yu took her hand, held it in his palm, and said softly, "It's okay to start construction at 9:00 p.m. every day."

Su Lingyue leaned over and gently leaned on Xiao Yu's shoulder, and softly expressed her thoughts, "The scenery of Furong Pavilion is not as good as Muyun Pavilion, but it is still quite comfortable and happy to live here."

Xiao Yu gently stroked Su Lingyue's back and said with a chuckle, "That was the first time I heard Yueer express her true feelings. I can't bear to leave it alone."

"Have it?"

She remembered that when they were together, Yun Ting stabbed her with a sword, and Xiao Yu forced her to stay in Muyunxuan. When did she show her true feelings?

However, I did say a lot of true words, so that counts!

Xiao Yu stroked Su Lingyue's back, feeling a little worried.

When he vomited blood this time, he clearly felt as if all the strength in his body had been drained away at once. He felt a sense of powerlessness he had never felt before.

I hope it's just an illusion. If not, I will be like what Uncle Lu said. In the end, I won't even have the strength to get out of bed and will die of exhaustion lying in bed.

That must not look good.

If it came to that before he got the other half of the Spirit Fire Grass, he didn't want the person in his arms to see him like that.
