Changing His Life After Rain

Chapter 26 The Cold Third Prince

The news of the Third Prince vomiting blood and fainting in the palace immediately spread throughout the royal capital.

"Ah, what do you know? The Prime Minister's legitimate daughter bet with the Emperor in Jinluan Pavilion." People gathered at the teahouse on the main street, they chatted loudly.

"really? Crazy, he's so brave. What's he betting on?" One of them still did not know the news clearly.

"He bet that this rain would fall for three whole months. If he won, he wanted the Emperor to give him the freedom to choose the spouse he would marry!"

"Huh? Freedom to choose a partner? A long time ago, a girl's soul mate was determined by parents. Who chooses their own partner? Is the Prime Minister's family's legitimate daughter demon-possessed?"

"Either that. You know what not? He also said that three months later the Wei River would collapse and there would be flooding. He told the Emperor to give orders for the Wei River dike to be strengthened."

"There's a point too. If the rain really falls for three months, then the levees must be strengthened!" One of the elders in the crowd nodded in agreement.

"Our emperor is a smart man. No matter if this rain falls for three months or not, he has sent people to go strengthen the dike. Because after all, the legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister said it with great confidence. So, he also wanted to be careful!"

"really. No matter the rain for three months or not, the community will be calmer. The Prime Minister's legitimate daughter is very kind!"

"REALLY!"

All the married girls said that the Prime Minister's legitimate daughter was brave. Secretly, they saluted Su Yue.

Because after all, if they could marry the man they liked, it would be much better than being betrothed by her parents.

In an instant, debates occurred all over the royal capital. Everyone was watching whether this rain would fall for three months or not. Some even began to count the number of days left until the three-month period arrived by writing them down on paper.

There are smart people who start betting on whether it will rain for three months or not. But, most still bet this rain won't fall for three whole months.

A number of men who had just returned home after gambling, immediately scolded his wife, they had to change their choices to support Su Yue's bet.

Because after all, as a woman, everyone wants to have the freedom to choose a life partner. Although married women did not expect to get such an opportunity, they were very grateful to see a woman like Su Yue appear.

In an instant, the royal capital became extremely crowded due to Su Yue's bet.

...

The Third Prince's Residence.

Su Yue who had been busy for a while finally managed to ease the Third Prince's relapsing illness. The Emperor watched for himself how Su Yue thrust a needle into the Prince's body and saw the change in the look of his son's improved countenance. After that, the Emperor snorted and returned to the palace with a calm heart.

Now the look on the Third Prince's bed-ridden face slowly blushed and returned to normal.

"You all get out." Su Yue told all the servants to come out. He simply looked at the Prince without speaking.

However, it must be admitted that the Prince is handsome.

Although the Prince faintly frowned and his expression looked miserable, his face was still handsome. Her pale white lips tightly clenched, as if she was having a nightmare.

Since childhood the Third Prince's body is weak and often sickly. Coupled with the Emperor who was favoritism to him, made him shunned his other brothers and sisters. In fact, they even oppressed him secretly.

Su Yue still remembered their first meeting as a child. At that time, the other Princes and Princesses were playing the Third Prince's beloved bird in front of him to death.

Just then, the Third Prince's two hands clenched weakly beside his two feet while crying helplessly.

"Basar crybaby. If you dare, tell Dad there. If you report, we'll take your other favorite thing."

"Don't bother him!" The young Su Yue pushed the Princes one by one, then spread her two small, fat hands in front of Nanxing while revealing a ferocious expression.

Recalling this, Su Yue gave a faint smile. Incidentally, the Prince's beautiful eyes opened.

Su Yue had not had the time to hide her smile.

"Sister... Is Nanxing conscious?" Su Yue calmed down immediately. Fortunately, in her previous life Su Yue had once researched Nanxing's illness.

"Miss Su, our relationship is not close at all. Please call me the Third Prince." The icy tone of the Third Prince's voice made Su Yue's heart ache.

In the previous life, the first time they met was when Su Yue felt inferior and so timid because she was fat. As soon as he saw Nanxing, he immediately called her, "Third Prince."

Su Yue still remembered, back then the Third Prince smiled narrowly as he said softly, "Yue'er, why are you so disinclined? Just call me Brother Nanxing."

"Just call me Brother Nanxing." Then, he smiled warmly.

"Our relationship is not close at all. Call me Third Prince." Shangguan Nanxing said coldly and impressed the stranger.

"Okay, Third Prince." Su Yue immediately lowered her head, her voice was extremely small.

"Miss Su, now there's nothing you need to do anymore. It was dark too. You better go quickly. It's not good if an unmarried girl like you stays at my place."

Shangguan Nanxing held back his feelings and said this sentence flatly.

"Hm." Su Yue continued to bow. His mind was in a mess, so it was indeed better for him to look down to hide his gaze.

Shangguan Nanxing looked at the skinny back of Su Yue who was walking in the rain. The spirit in his gaze dimmed, his eyes slightly reddened. In the end, he sighed, "Housekeeper Zhang, prepare the horse carriage. Take Miss Su back to the Prime Minister's residence."

Finished giving the order, Nanxing did not say anything more. He closed his pair of eyes, as if he were asleep again.

Merely, both of his tightly clenched hands behind the blankets showed turbulent emotions and sadness in his heart. Su Yue had already thrown it away. But why is he still acting like a lowly human being? When he saw Su Yue who was rained down, why did he still feel sad?

There was a fragrance of Shangguan Nanxing left behind in this horse carriage, making Su Yue's tears continue to fall. He doesn't know what he's fighting.

All of this is his own plan. But, he was still sad, as if he had just lost a precious treasure in this world.

"Miss Su, we've reached the Prime Minister's Residence." The voice of Housekeeper Zhang was heard from outside the carriage. After Su Yue held back her emotions, then she flicked the curtains of the carriage and walked out.

"Thank you." He saluted Housekeeper Zhang. The Housekeeper was somewhat shocked, as Su Yue was the Prime Minister's legitimate daughter, while she was only a subordinate. How much is he worth respecting?

"Servant Zhang, this is a recipe for strengthening the Prince's body. Boil it with three bowls of water until it produces a bowl of medicine every day. The Third Prince must drink it."

Previously, House Manager Zhang had heard about the prowess of Su Yue's medical knowledge. Therefore, he immediately accepted the recipe while thanking him, then spurred his horse to leave.

Su Yue stood silently before the door of the Prime Minister's Residence holding an umbrella. In the midst of the rain, the Prime Minister's Residence looked very quiet. Meanwhile, the large, bright-red door was like a demon with a mouth full of blood, waiting for Su Yue to give up.

Su Yue knew that once she entered, the conditions inside would become tragic and bloody again. All this was because today Su Yue not only risked her own life, but she also angered the Emperor and brought down the entire Su family.

Although Su Yue got what she wanted, but the payment was much more expensive than she thought. Originally, he had never thought that this would plunge the Su Family.

The attitude of his father who only thought about his personal gain...

Su Yue let out a long sigh, then walked to the front of the door and knocked on it.
