Female Master: Why doesn’t my wife love me yet?

Chapter 197 Cinnabar

You Yu poured him a glass of water and reminded him, "Take your time walking, there's no rush."

After finishing the water in the cup, Ah Wang said, "My dear wife, I just want to recover quickly and not cause you any trouble."

He felt very uncomfortable during the years he was lying in bed.

Especially when he saw his wife traveling around to find a doctor for him.

You Yu sighed and reached out to hug him gently.

After seeing You Yu off, Gu Qingyuan saw the servant Yu Shui next to Wen Shubai acting stealthily again.

She didn't want to care at first, but seeing Yu Shui looking around like a thief, she still called him.

"stop."

Only a powerful voice was heard, and the rain seemed to be frozen in place.

"Young Master, you called me?" Yu Shui asked with a smile that was not very pretty.

"What are you doing?"

Why does she feel that she goes out more frequently in the rain during this period than before?

"Oh, the master said he wanted to eat the sugar-roasted chestnuts from the street, so I bought some."

After saying that, Yu Shui took out the chestnuts she had bought and showed them to Gu Qingyuan.

"If you're going to buy food, why do you look so guilty?"

Yu Shui couldn't help but worry for himself. It was clearly his master who told him to go secretly to find the five-colored ore, and now that the young master was asking about it, he couldn't tell the young master.

"Yes, is there? Maybe it's because the weather is too hot."

Gu Qingyuan snorted coldly, "Forget it, go back."

If Wen Shubai knew about this, he would probably think that I was deliberately making things difficult for the people around him.

The relationship between the two of them had just been repaired, and she didn't want him to have any opinions about her because of this.

Yu Shui held the chestnuts and was glad that his master said he wanted to eat sugar-roasted chestnuts today and asked him to buy some, otherwise he would have a hard time explaining to the young master.

When they arrived at Wen Shubai's room, Yu Shui handed the chestnut to him and then took out cinnabar from her arms.

Cinnabar is a red stone, also called cinnabar.

"Master, this is all I found today."

Wen Shubai took it and nodded, "We still have two left."

Now he has cinnabar, realgar and alum in his hands, but he still lacks magnetite and indigo.

"The young master just called me. Luckily, before he left today, he said he wanted to eat some sugar-roasted chestnuts and asked me to buy some. Otherwise, I would have a hard time explaining to the young master."

Wen Shubai glanced at him and said, "You're smart enough not to say it out loud."

Yu Shui was really curious about what the master wanted this thing for, but since he didn't tell her, she could only worry.

Wen Shubai put away the cinnabar and thought to himself that the soul had not appeared during this period of time, so it must have been scared.

If he appears again, I will use this five-colored ore to suppress him.

……

The news that the princess brought a man and a child into the palace had spread throughout the palace.

The Queen looked at the people kneeling below, suppressed her inner anger, and asked, "Is this why you don't want to marry?"

"Yes."

She flung her sleeves and walked to the side of Her Royal Highness, saying with some regret, "I heard that man's wife is dead. There are so many noble young men in the capital, but you chose him."

Her Highness the Princess moved her lips and explained, "Mother, Wang Qiu is a very good man. He once saved me when I was being hunted, and he allowed me to hide in the dry well in his home."

"He saved you, and I can reward him with gold and silver, or find him a marriage partner. You are a princess with great responsibilities, how can you marry a widower?"

The princess, knowing she was in the wrong, did not argue and said, "But he already has my son's child, a girl."

"If the child is of royal blood, he can stay, but the man cannot," the Queen said firmly.

A princess marries a widower who has had a miscarriage. Isn't this a laughing stock for the whole world?

"Mother Queen!"

"No need to say more. Come, take Her Highness the Princess away for her to reflect on herself."

The Queen had made up her mind and didn't allow her to say anything more.

Thinking that Wangqiu was still in her palace, the princess struggled and wanted to return to her palace.

But the Queen glanced at her and said mercilessly, "I will send someone to test the child's bloodline, and I will send that man out of the palace tomorrow. And you, prepare to marry in the next two days."

At this time, she was still in the Princess's Palace.

Wang Qiu sat on the bed holding the child. He waited and waited but the princess didn't come back, which made him feel a little uneasy.

The palace was heavily guarded, and everyone's face was expressionless and looked extremely serious.

He felt the atmosphere was oppressive.

It was only then that he heard the voice of "Your Majesty has arrived--" and tried to get up from the bed and salute the Queen.

The empress strode in and asked Eunuch Li to take the child from Wangqiu's arms.

When the empress saw the face that bore some resemblance to the princess's childhood, her heart warmed. However, the tenderness on her face did not last long, and it disappeared immediately when she saw Wang Qiu.

"Are you the man the princess met outside the palace?"

Wang Qiu stood there, lowered his head and whispered, "...Yes."

"You also know that the princess's status is noble, and it is not something a widower like you can dream of."

"I, the common people, understand clearly."

"She's only interested in you for a short while. Besides, with your status, it's a luxury to even see her."

The Queen spoke without showing any mercy to Wang Qiu, which made his face turn pale.

He knew that their identities were worlds apart. She was like the moon in the clouds, while he was just the mud on the ground that could be trampled on by anyone.

"Tomorrow I will send you out of the palace, and since this child is of my royal blood, you can stay with me."

When the queen saw this little face, she could be sure that she was the princess's child, without any further identification.

Hearing that the child was going to be left behind, Wang Qiu suddenly raised his head.

"I will tell her that her father died a long time ago. After you leave the palace, considering that you have been with the princess for so long, I will find a suitable marriage for you."

Wang Qiu smiled bitterly, closed his eyes and said, "Everything is up to your majesty's arrangements."

……

Gu Qingyuan didn't expect that You Yu would come to her again so soon and say that he wanted to rebuild the palace wall with her.

"What about Ah Wang?" Gu Qingyuan asked her.

"He's able to walk around the house now. I've locked the door and put food on the table."

"Okay, then you'll go with me tomorrow."

Gu Qingyuan wanted to keep her for dinner, but You Yu waved her hand and refused.

At night, she fell into a drowsy sleep.

She didn't come to see him for a few days. Wen Shubai lay on the bed, closed his eyes, and tried to enter her dream.

This time, he saw a different scene.

Gu Qingyuan had the dream during the time she was in Southern Xinjiang. When Wen Shubai saw the man who looked exactly like Hunpu in her dream, she was shocked.
