Chapter 195: Feeling of Loss
Chapter 195: Feeling of Loss
Qin Hanmo's carriage slowly drove over and stopped in front of the Hua family's yard. He looked up and saw Hua Yu'er walking back slowly with a basket of herbs on her back, followed closely by a big black dog, limping. It was obviously an injured stray dog she had picked up while doing charity. Her kindness was always the same.
"Yu'er, let me help you." Qin Hanmo said as he quickly stepped forward, wanting to take the backpack from Hua Yu'er's back.
"Your Majesty, didn't you say not to come looking for me again?" Hua Yu'er dodged the hand Qin Hanmo extended, with a hint of alienation in her words.
"You are the one I have been looking for. Now that you are back, how can I not come to find you? Have you forgotten that you said when you were a child that you would never marry anyone else in this life?" Qin Hanmo was uncharacteristically talkative in front of Hua Yuer.
"Grandpa Wang, are you going to take a child's words seriously?" After Hua Yuer finished speaking, she walked straight past him.
Qin Hanmo followed him shamelessly, and Mu Sixiu felt particularly uncomfortable watching this scene. Their prince was really infatuated with her. Over the years, the two of them had only corresponded through letters. Could it be that just by sending letters through wild geese, they could have maintained their relationship to such an extent... Mu Sixiu really couldn't understand it.
In this way, Hua Yuer always remained indifferent to Qin Hanmo, but Qin Hanmo still accompanied her silently as before.
Every morning, Qin Hanmo would enter the bedroom of the prince's mansion from the secret room, then go out with the princess, attend court, go to the Hua family, and wait at the door of Hua Yuer's room waiting for her to appear; then he would return to the prince's mansion, attend court, go to the Hua family, and continue to wait in front of Hua Yuer's door...and so on.
However, today, when he returned from the secret room as usual, he found that the familiar figure was not waiting for him to go out together as usual.
It was not until this moment that he suddenly realized that Ni Naina had returned to his master. An inexplicable sense of loss surged into his heart, making Qin Hanmo feel a little lonely and desolate.
He walked slowly into the study, his eyes falling on the neat desk. The pile of memorials that had once piled up were now nowhere to be seen, and it was obvious that they had been carefully handled. At this moment, he suddenly woke up, realizing that in the past few days, his mind was almost completely immersed in Hua Yuer, and he had actually ignored these important matters.
No wonder she said she would leave in two days, it turned out she was quietly cleaning up this mess for him. Qin Hanmo sighed inwardly, he felt extremely exhausted these days. Because he had not had a good rest for many days and had been waiting outside, he felt unwell all over this morning, with a splitting headache and bouts of coughing.
He walked to the desk with heavy steps and sat down, and immediately saw the note left by Ni Naina. The note listed a detailed schedule: from Chenshi to Sishi, he would attend court and have meals, from Wushi and Shenshi, he would handle official documents and have meals, and from Youshi to Maoshi, he would rest and spend time with his beloved.
Looking at this thoughtful schedule, Qin Hanmo couldn't help but smile knowingly. However, a slight cough suddenly interrupted his thoughts; perhaps he had indeed indulged himself too much during this period. "Cough cough..." The cough echoed in the quiet study, as if it was a silent reminder.
Qin Hanmo gently placed the schedule under a book, then got up to attend the morning court. After the morning court ended, he did not go to the Hua family courtyard as usual, but went directly back to the palace to have a meal and began to review the thick pile of memorials.
He himself couldn't explain why he obeyed her arrangements so well, and he didn't feel unhappy at all. Instead, he felt that such an arrangement was extremely good.
After completing these tasks, he went to the Hua family courtyard, but Hua Yuer's attitude was still as cold as ice and snow. Qin Hanmo stopped guarding the door and returned to the Zhanwang Mansion silently. However, he was still worried about Hua Yuer's safety, and secretly ordered Mu Sixiu to arrange guards to protect her safety.
Back at the palace, Qin Hanmo walked into the bedroom. The bedroom was unusually spacious, and the bright red decorations were still hanging high, dazzling like flames. He couldn't help but cough a few times and found that there was some blood, but he didn't care. He just felt a splitting headache and wanted to rest. The bright red bed exuded a faint fragrance.
This was Ni Naina's unique scent. This familiar smell made him feel extremely at ease. Unconsciously, he gradually fell into a deep sleep.
Perhaps because he had not had enough rest for a long time, Qin Hanmo slept very soundly. He was not disturbed by nightmares as usual, but slept peacefully until he woke up naturally.
When he opened his eyes, he found that it was exactly the time that Ni Nainai had set for him to get up. After a good night's sleep, not only did his headache symptoms disappear without a trace, but even his coughing stopped. It was as if his body had completely recovered overnight...
At this moment, Qin Hanmo knew very well that the next task to be completed was to thoroughly investigate the incident that Ni Naina told him about Prime Minister Huang’s corruption that day.
If he only cared about his love for his wife, Yu'er would not like him. Thinking of this, Qin Hanmo immediately cheered up and devoted himself to handling state affairs again...
