Chapter 25 Part 2: Pique

 

^^

After Lin Wei Xi returned to Jingdan Garden, she had a headache as soon as she entered the house, and started to burn that night, her illness came so fiercely. Previously she suffered a cold after returning from the palace, today it was add with walking in the rain for so long, and as soon as she came back she had a high fever. Lin Wei Xi’s illness alarmed many people. Yan Wang Mansion that very night invited the imperial physician into the mansion, and half of the mansion’s lights were on all night. Until noon the next day, Lin Wei Xi’s fever with great difficulty retreated a little, she opened her eyes in a daze, and saw a dragon imperial robe standing outside the bed curtain. The clothes were majestic and serious black, coiled dragon embroidered on it with gold threads. Standing in the exquisite and warm young girl’s room, it became increasingly majestic and solemn.

People would not think about another person when they saw this clothes in the mansion.

Somewhat heard the movement from the Babu bed, the conversation outside stopped. After a while, three or four layers of bed curtain were opened one by one. Gu Hui Yan stood outside the partition, looking at Lin Wei Xi’s gaze and sighed helplessly: "Are you better?"

At the moment Lin Wei Xi’s bones aches all over, as if this fever was burning her bones. Lin Wei Xi pursed her lips, and with a great effort said, "It's all right."

Her hoarse voice made Lin Wei Xi startled. Gu Hui Yan sighed, how could he believed that she was really "all right". Gu Hui Yan motioned to Wan Xing and Wan Yue to put down the bed curtain: "She doesn’t appear to have the cold now, properly take care of her."

Wan Yue obeyed and carefully put down the innermost heavy red curtain. Gu Hui Yan was still squeezing a lot of things outside, and there really was no time to delay any longer. His figure moved, and as soon as he turned and took two steps, he heard Lin Wei Xi’s voice coming from behind, her voice was hoarse and tired: "Your Highness, what I said yesterday is not just nonsense."

Gu Hui Yan's figure stopped, he turned halfway, and saw Lin Wei Xi half propped up on the bed under the thin layer of gauze. Even if he couldn't see her eyes, he could still imagine it. Her eyes were burning now, even though she was uncomfortably ill, she insisted on asking for an answer.

Wan Yue was setting up the tent when she suddenly saw Miss Lin prop up her body to talk to Yan Wang despite her illness, and Yan Wang stopped silently. Wan Yue was unaware, so what they were talking about yesterday? Although she accompanied Lin Wei Xi to the study, she did not know the specific details.

Wan Yue was holding a delicate curtain in her hand. She didn't know what to do for a while, so she could only stand by the bed and waited quietly without disturbing Miss Lin and Yan Wang.

Gu Hui Yan sank and said, "If you are worried about Second Qian's matter, you can rest assured, I have handled this matter."

The matter of yesterday afternoon, Gu Hui Yan already handled it now. Lin Wei Xi felt emotional for a while, the itching in her throat could not be restrained, and she couldn't help but leaning her head to cough. After finally controlling it, she said in a hoarse voice, "It's not because of him."

She knew she looked silly and impulsive now, but she really wanted to be clear.

Gu Hui Yan's eyes darkened, and the temperature in the room condensed inch by inch: "Do you know what you’re talking about?"

"I know." Lin Wei Xi tried to look Gu Hui Yan's eyes directly and said as best she could.

Gu Hui Yan was separated by a heavy gauze curtain, at that moment he was extremely sure, she didn't know. She was just acted in a fit of pique.

And who made her pique, it’s obvious at a glance.

Gu Hui Yan paused in place for only a moment, and then continued to walk outside: "You set your mind to recuperate."

Gu Hui Yan had just walked out of the house, and sure enough, he heard the sound of tantrums inside. Gu Hui Yan secretly said in his heart that with this little strength, still learned from others to throw things down to vent out anger.

Gu Mingda was waiting in the yard. When he saw Gu Hui Yan coming out, he immediately walked behind Gu Hui Yan and bowed his head slightly: "Wangye."

Gu Hui Yan brought people walking the heap of gold and pile up jade (extremely wealthy) winding corridors of the inner mansion. When the servants in the garden saw him, they all lowered their hands and moved out of the way, lowered their head down and waited for him to pass first, not even daring to raise their eyes. When Gu Hui Yan passed through a courtyard, he suddenly stopped. Outside the Ruyi carved fence, the wisteria tree hanging above the eaves were gently swaying.

When Gu Mingda saw Gu Hui Yan had stop, he looked at the front, stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Wangye, maybe the wind is blowing it."

The gardener who looked after the courtyard was almost on his knees in fright. Wangye was not satisfied with the wisteria tree? Was he dislike it because it’s too dense?

Fortunately, Gu Hui Yan just stopped to take a look, said nothing, and continued to walk forward. He was silent all the way, and everywhere he passed by was solemn.

Maybe it was not the wind.

After Gu Hui Yan returned to the study, he calmly handled the important official duties that had accumulated since yesterday. After a few brief instructions to his aids, he asked Gu Mingda to prepare his horse to go visit Princess Shou Kang Mansion.

The whole princess mansion was startled by Yan Wang sudden visit. You know, with his rank, wherever he went he should notify at least three days in advance. Grand Princess Shou Kang sat in the main hall and asked Gu Hui Yan with some doubts: "Why do you want to come to me today? If you send someone to say in advance, I’ll be prepared.”

“How dare I trouble my aunt?” Gu Hui Yan smiled and nodded, and said neither too fast not too slow, “I am hastily visiting today because I want to ask aunt for something.”

“Oh?" Princess Shou Kang also became curious, what else does Gu Hui Yan need to ask from others? She smiled and said: "You are being modest again, what else under the sky that Yan Wang can't make it come forward?"

Gu Hui Yan smiled, not this time. He said: "I want to ask my aunt to come forward as matchmaker for me and Lin Wei Xi."
