Chapter 136 A Mistake
Prince Wendu went to Yu Wenhuai’s Residence with Princess Sun these days as well.
Princess Sun was gorgeous and was in good shape. When she stood beside Prince Wendu, they
looked like beauty and the beast.
Princess Sun only came a few times but each time she came, she would bring many supplements
which had been obviously handpicked. Because all the supplements and herbs were specialized in
treating consumption.
Chu Mingcui had called on Yu Wenhuai once along with Prince Wenqing.
Yu Wenlin never let Chu Mingcui get out of her sight. Even when Chu Mingcui went into the room to
see Prince Wenhuai, Yu Wenlin stared at her all the time at close range for fear that she might make
trouble.
Chu Mingcui had a few words with Yuan Qingling. She was very polite. After inquiring about Prince
Wenhuai’s condition, she curtsied to thank Yuan Qingling and then left. There seemed to have been no
conflict between them.
It was Yu Wenhuai whose attitude had changed dramatically.
The date spected by the court physician on his death had passed but he was still alive and had
stopped coughing up blood. He didn’t cough much as before and even could get up and walk around.

Ms. Lu was the most delighted person. She almost treated Yuan Qingling as God and ordered to give
Yuan Qingling whatever she wanted.
Yuan Qingling was upset this day. After injecting Prince Wenhuai, she sat in the yard alone in a trance.
She was actually not used to the situation where she and Yu Wenhao hadn’t seen each other for
several days. She came back to their residence every day but there was only the lonely Phoenix
Mansion waiting for her. Nurse Qi always followed the rules and Lu Ya was obedient and submissive to
her. Yuan Qingling couldn’t even find a person to talk to, except Dooby.
She also missed the days when she and Yu Wenhao horsed around.
Yuan Qingling leaned against the fence and looked to a corner of the garden.
It was in that shadowy corner that he kissed her.
She could remember every detail on that day and it became clearer in her mind.
His lips, his callused fingers...Every image rolled in her mind.
“What are you doing here?” It was Prince Wendu.
Yuan Qingling raised her head and watched hime close slowly with his hands sped behind his
back, followed by a manservant. He gave her a curious look.
She pulled her attention back and said, “Nothing. I’m just sleepy.”
Prince Wendu sat down and looked at her. “I’ve not seen Wenhao for a few days. What’s going on with
you two?”
“Nothing! We are fine. Why are you asking?” Yuan Qingling pretended to be surprised.
“You caught him screwing around with prostitutes, didn’t you? There are gossips everywhere. And they
say you smacked those two women around a little and kicked them out of bed,” Prince Wendu said.
Yuan Qingling was shocked. After a while, she jumped up and shouted, “Who said that? It’s not true!”
“That’s what people out there say.”
“Ridiculous!” Yuan Qingling was angry.
‘That was unbelievable! How could it be possible that I hit those women and kicked them off the bed?’
When thinking like this, she felt sick. Because if it really happened, how embarrassing the situation
would be!
Prince Wendu said in surprise, “Isn’t it? But almost everyone says that.”
“Does Yu Wenhao know this?” Yuan Qingling asked.
Prince Wendu snorted and said, “Even Father has heard of it and called him in to give him a
reprimand.”
Yuan Qingling didn’t know whether tough or cry.
Prince Wendu looked at her and sighed, “Forget it. If you’re not happy, just have something to eat. Let
me buy you a big meal some day and you’ll have some fun.”
Yuan Qingling gave him a grateful look. Although Prince Wendu was a little weird, he was the most
artless person. In his view, the best way tofort someone was to treat to him a big meal. Therefore,
Yuan Qingling could feel his sincerity.
“Thank you.”
Prince Wendu stood up slowly and said, “You are wee. And it will be better if you pay the bill then.”
Yuan Qingling stared at him and said, “Come on! I’ve only just been touched.”
“That’s not working. I’m poor,” he said with a deep sigh, “I only get twenty pounds a month allowance.”
Then he walked away tardily with a heavy heart.
Yuan Qingling was apprehensive about the rumor and she didn’t know its cause. She felt it necessary
to ask Tang Yang or Xu Yi.
She was escorted back to the residence. Then she told Nurse Qi to get Xu Yi here.
Nurse Qi said, “He’s gone.”
“To where? Did Yu Wenhao send him out for business?” Yuan Qingling asked in surprise.
“No. Xu Yi did something wrong. His Highness was angry and let him go.”
Yuan Qingling was astonished. “What did he do?”
She felt it a pity because Xu Yi was an honest man though he wasn’t reliable on dealing with things.
Nurse Qi said snappishly, “He is too immature to handle matters. Don’t know where he got theme
idea to put two women in His Highness’s bedchamber. His Highness got angry and threw them all out.
When Xu Yi came back the next day, His Highness drove him away again.”
Yuan Qingling was stunned. “What?”
“He’s pitiful but he deserved it. He has adhered to His Highness for so long while he didn’t follow the
rules. His Highness hasn’t even had concubines, let alone taken in those vulgar women out there.”
Yuan Qingling sat on the chair, scratching her head and tried to recall that day when they quarreled.
‘So...he drove those women away directly? Nothing happened between them?’ She was aware that
she might have misjudged Yu Wenhao.
What had happened in the carriage in the garden that day was still in her mind and her repressed
longing for him poured out. Right at that moment, Yuan Qingling realized that she really missed him.
She rushed out like a whirlwind.
“Where are you going, Your Highness?” Nurse Qi shouted behind.
“I have something to do. I’m not eating,” Yuan Qingling said without looking back.
She came to Wuthering Heights. Qi Luo saw her and said, “Your Highness, His Highness Prince
Wendu isn’t back yet.”
“I can wait!”
Yuan Qingling sat on the stone step before the cloister in a cool breeze. She felt herself stupid. Yu
Wenhao had tried to exin at that time whereas she hadn’t given him a chance.
“You can wait him inside,” Qi Luo advised.
“No. I’m waiting him here.”
These days, Yuan Qingling had been imagining the future of Yu Wenhao and convincing herself
rationally that nothing was going to happen between them. She thought what she cared was that they
had no future rather than the women.
But now it turned out to be a mistake. All her worries about their future vanished. And she knew she did
care about those two women.
Yu Wenhao didn’t leave the government office until 9 p.m. After expelling Xu Yi, he hadn’t found a
suitable bodyguard for the time being. So, he ordered a house guard to follow him on an errand.
He rode on a horse withx reins, wandering on the street. Even if he went back early, he couldn’t
sleep and would be thinking about seeing Yuan Qingling. Therefore, he’d rather hang around outside
for some while.
He went to meet Gu Si. Since Gu Si had taken the job of the shuttle service for Yuan Qingling, he didn’t
have to return to the imperial pce.
They had a drink together. Gu Si sighed deeply and groaned about being forced to get married by his
family.
As a nobleman and the captain of the Imperial Guards, Gu Si was favored by many highborndies in
the capital city. But he was just unwilling to get married because he thought it would be meaningless
unless he met his Mrs. Right.
Hearing his words, Yu Wenhao sneered. “What kind of girl would you like to meet?”
“Someone can make meugh and cry, make me happy and sad, make me feel flipped and make me
feel hurt.” Gu Si was a little drunk and began to tell the essence of love.
