Chapter 1983 The Regent Princess is about to faint again

But Han Qin's little plan was doomed to fail.

Gu Jinning suddenly walked over from another direction and interrupted their conversation.

"General Shi."

Shi Yu looked at Gu Jinning in surprise.

He seemed to be unable to understand why he was here, but considering that Gu Jinning had just told him about the Su family, he was still willing to pay attention to him.

"Master Xie, why... did you suddenly pass by here?"

"I just happened to be passing by and came to say hello."

Gu Jinning approached and glanced at Han Qin casually, "I guess I'll be able to drink the wedding wine between you and the Sun family soon?"

Han Qin's face was pale. This was the second time he had a face-to-face encounter with Gu Jinning. Every time, he was relegated to the dust by Gu Jinning, but he was unable to resist and did not even dare to say a word.

He forced a smile and lowered his head.

But it was enough time for Shi Yu to react. The temper that had just been suppressed burst out again. He looked at the honest Han Qin and laughed in anger.

"Han Qin, good, very good."

"I'll leave first. I'll explain to you later..." Han Qin felt so ashamed that he couldn't stay any longer and fled in embarrassment.

After wasting some time, Shi Li finished packing and came out, and saw Gu Jinning and Shi Yu standing together. She was slightly stunned.

Gu Jinning blinked at her.

Then, he said to Shi Yu in a serious tone, "If you can't find a place to stay, I have an empty house where you can stay temporarily. It won't be too late to move in once you find a new house."

Shi Yu: ...

I don’t know why, but I suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness as if I had just escaped from the tiger’s den and fallen into a wolf’s lair.

But Gu Jinning's proposal is indeed better than the inn.

Shi Yu nodded reluctantly.

Gu Jinning's house is naturally impeccable in every aspect.

Even Shi Yu couldn't find any fault with it. He walked around the house twice and couldn't utter a word in the end.

Everything was going in a good direction, except Shi Li's health was not good. When the weather turned cold, she fell ill again.

She was lying on a warm bed, surrounded by tight curtains and with a warm heating system in the room, but she still felt cold all over. She asked a doctor to come over and feed her bowl after bowl of bitter medicine all day long like eating.

At dusk, the golden sunset falls on the window lattice.

Shi Li was half asleep and half awake when she heard footsteps. She barely raised her head and saw Gu Jinning walking towards her.

This time it should be real, not an illusion caused by illness.

Shi Li pulled her dry lips at him, "You're here."

Gu Jinning walked closer, bent down and looked at her, his brows gradually frowned more and more, and he couldn't help but reach out and hold her hand.

Slender and slightly cool.

The inexplicably familiar feeling made Shi Li raise her eyes and ask the question that had been on her mind for a long time, "Six years ago, did you also come to see me secretly?"

Similar scenes made him doubt whether it was an illusion.

Gu Jinning simply sat down beside her couch, brushed her hair on the pillow with his other hand, and answered softly, "Yeah."

"How dare you?" Shi Li didn't expect it to be true. She was so shocked that her eyes widened and she started coughing. Gu Jinning then reached out and patted her back gently.

When she finally stopped coughing, Gu Jinning withdrew his hand and replied lightly, "I heard that you were seriously ill. I'm afraid I'll never see you again."

Shi Li: ...

Why does this sound so awkward?

She sighed deeply, and could do nothing about her body. After all, the original owner's body was like this when she first crossed over, and she couldn't change it.

Gu Jinning no longer tried to avoid suspicion and sat openly beside her on the bed.

"His Majesty has issued an imperial decree of pardon. Your parents will be back soon, in time for your coming-of-age ceremony."

Thinking of his parents, a smile appeared on Shi Li's pale face.

But she also knew that even if she and Shi Yu had made contributions and His Majesty was willing to issue an edict, Gu Jinning had also made considerable contributions.

"Thank you."

"You're thanking me?" Gu Jinning raised his eyebrows. "What happened back then was all caused by me. It was what I should have done."

He felt that he was making up for it.

But Shi Li felt that what was done back then was the choice of her parents, and she shouldn't let Gu Jinning take advantage of the situation to repay the favor.

"I have selfish motives as well. When your parents come back, we can discuss marriage legitimately after you reach the age of 15."

Gu Jinning leaned over and gently kissed Shi Li on the forehead before she could react.

"Rest well and get better soon."

He didn't stay any longer. After saying that, he stood up and walked out. His back was inlaid with a layer of gold by the sunset.

Shi Li stared at him blankly, her cheeks slowly turning red.
