Chapter 108 Drunk
After coming out of Su Jinghe's yard, Su Qingqing did not return to the main room.
Feeling depressed, she took Jixiang out of the house and headed straight for the Broken Red Tower.
Fortunately, it is evening now and Suihonglou is already open for business.
Seeing her suddenly arrive and looking so bad, Mother Du was shocked and thought something had happened.
Su Qingqing, dressed as a man, forced a smile and said, "It's okay. Is there an empty private room? Just give me one. No need to wait on me. I just want to listen to the music on the first floor."
Every night in the lobby on the first floor of Suihonglou, there were girls playing musical instruments and singing. Sometimes they were ordinary girls, and sometimes they were the top girls.
It just so happened that today was the day for the Yufu Festival, and there were unprecedentedly many guests coming to show their support, so that the entire Broken Red Mansion was bustling with activity.
Mother Du immediately took Su Qingqing to the best private room on the second floor, facing the stage on the first floor. "This is the private room reserved by the young master of Rong'an Marquis's Mansion. Someone just came to inform us that it was cancelled due to something. It just so happens that it hasn't been put up yet."
Seeing that Su Qingqing had no intention of talking, Mother Du did not ask any more questions. She personally brought tea and drinks according to Su Qingqing's preferences and then left.
Listening to the noisy conversations below, Su Qingqing felt that her cold and empty heart seemed to regain some life.
She was too lazy to use a cup, so she just grabbed the wine jug, tilted her head back and opened her mouth, the wine flowed down and she gulped it down.
Back then on the battlefield, they used wine jars directly.
As the wine went down his throat, scenes from the past flashed through his mind.
There were charges into battle, escapes from death, separations of life and death, blood everywhere, and more... there were corpses.
Countless bodies.
Layer after layer, piece after piece,
In my ears, Su Jinghe's sharp voice was like a spell, repeating and ringing continuously.
Even though Fu Yu had already started playing the piano on the first floor, playing her favorite piece, she couldn't hear a single note.
Her closest sister said personally that even if my father did it on purpose, my sister is already dead, and I can't become an enemy of my father because of this.
"Jixiang, my heart aches."
…
When Rong Que came to Suihonglou, Su Qingqing was already drunk.
Seeing that the man was already unconscious but still holding the wine jug and pouring wine into his mouth, Rong Que walked over with a sullen face and snatched the wine jug away.
"How did you drink like this!"
Jixiang was not drunk, she was always by Su Qingqing's side.
Facing Rong Que's anger and questioning, Jixiang told him what happened in the mansion today without hiding anything.
Jixiang knew that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had been investigating the matter of General Su, and that he had formed an alliance with her master because of this matter.
She couldn't tell anyone that her master was General Su, but she could tell anyone about the stupid things Su Jinghe had done.
Sure enough, when Jixiang said this, Rong Que's eyelids jumped violently, and a raging rage wrapped around his face, "You're looking for death!"
He uttered two words fiercely, leaned over and picked up Su Qingqing horizontally.
"I feel bad."
"I'm in so much pain."
“It hurts.”
…
All the way, Su Qingqing kept making noises, crying out in pain, which made Rong Que feel so painful that he couldn't breathe, and he hugged her tightly.
After finally returning to the mansion, Rong Que put the person on the bed. Su Qingqing hugged Rong Que's neck tightly and refused to let go, "It hurts so much."
Rong Que leaned over the bed with his hands, and asked her gently, "Where does it hurt? Are you hurt?"
Su Qingqing lowered one hand from Rongque's neck, grabbed his hand that was supporting himself on the bed, and pressed it against her chest, "My heart hurts."
Rong Que's heart trembled violently.
Jixiang was afraid that her master might speak the truth after drinking and say something he shouldn't.
Just because she could accept that someone else's soul lived in her princess' body didn't mean others could accept it. The prince might think her master was crazy after hearing that.
"Your Highness, I will serve the Queen. She smells of alcohol and needs to change and wash."
Rong Que wanted to say that the king was here.
But he couldn't say that.
His and Su Qingqing's current situation...
Clenching his fist, Rong Que took Su Qingqing's other hand from his neck, and stood up and left.
Aunt Xu had already brought hot water. Seeing Su Qingqing so drunk, she was anxious and blamed Jixiang, "You followed the Empress, why didn't you persuade her to drink more? You drank like this."
Jixiang didn't say anything. He just undressed Su Qingqing bit by bit, washed her, and changed her into dry clothes.
Fortunately, Su Qingqing had a good alcohol tolerance. Even when she was drunk, she just hummed in pain and distress. By the time Jixiang finished washing and changing her clothes, she had already fallen into a deep sleep.
Aunt Xu muttered a few words, and seeing that Jixiang looked very bad, she sighed, "Okay, go back to sleep. I'll stay with the queen today."
Jixiang smiled, but it was a forced smile. "No, I'll keep watch."
As they were talking, Rong Que came in from outside and said, "Everyone, go out."
Nanny Xu was about to speak, but Jixiang pulled her aside and knelt towards Rongque, "Thank you for your hard work, Your Highness."
As soon as they left the room, Aunt Xu grabbed Jixiang and asked, "What's wrong?"
Jixiang curled his lips, "Your Majesty and His Highness have always been at odds with each other, so it's good for them to have a chance to get along."
Aunt Xu just thought that this child was out of his mind.
"The queen is completely drunk and must be thirsty and need water in the middle of the night. You want His Highness to serve the queen? This doesn't give them a chance to get along. You are forcing the queen's embarrassing side in front of His Highness."
Jixiang said, "Then we can see if His Highness will take care of our queen. If he does, does that mean that His Highness still has our queen in his heart?"
Aunt Xu was even amused by her joke, "You little devil, you've always been petty. Go to sleep. I'll be waiting outside. If anything happens... it's better for us to keep watch."
Jixiang didn't say much, just responded and left.
In fact, she couldn't explain why she pulled Aunt Xu out just now.
She just felt that this great general of the Great Yan Kingdom was too miserable. If there was really someone who was willing to love her, if there was really someone who was willing to take care of her...
Why.
In the room, Rong Que sat beside Su Qingqing's bed.
His eyes traced the man's facial features. Seeing that Su Qingqing's brows were tightly furrowed even when she was asleep, Rong Que felt uncomfortable in his heart.
He stretched out his hand, wanting to gently stroke Su Qingqing's brows.
The moment Rong Que's fingers touched Su Qingqing's brow, two lines of tears flowed from Su Qingqing's tightly closed eyes.
Rong Que was stunned.
Su Qingqing rolled over to her side, curled up tightly, and murmured in her sleep, "It hurts so much."
Rong Que felt as if someone had stabbed him hard in the heart.
He patted Su Qingqing's back gently, "It's okay, I'm here, I..."
He had a lot to say, thousands of words, but he couldn't utter a single word. They were stuck in his throat. Rong Que looked at Su Qingqing, and by the time he reacted, the person had already moved forward.
A very light kiss fell on Su Qingqing's cheek.
After a night of hangover, when Su Qingqing woke up the next morning, it was already noon and Rong Que had already gone to court.
Su Qingqing had a splitting headache and propped herself up with her arms.
Hearing the rustling sound, Jixiang jumped in, "Master, Su Yunyun has been released."
Su Qingqing's eyelids twitched.
Jixiang is not a person who doesn't care about her. Now that she opened her eyes, Jixiang said such words. Something must have happened.
