Chapter 253: Chapter 254: The Matter of Consort Ming
“Did you know that Yun Qian was attacked last night?” Pei Huaian said, willing to reveal the assassination attempt on Yun Qian just to stay a little longer.
Shao He’s footsteps halted, the news was indeed very captivating to him.
She could only return to Pei Huaian’s side and asked, “I saw Yun Qian today, and he didn’t mention this to me.”
“Perhaps he didn’t want you to worry, fortunately, I had sent people to protect him in secret beforehand, or else we wouldn’t know how he might have died,” Pei Huaian said gravely.
This incident happened in the suburbs of the Imperial Capital, and now the police department has sealed off the news, so the outside world can’t probe for any details.
“Was the assassin caught?”
Shao He asked anxiously but knew in his heart that catching the assassin would be useless since he was not the mastermind behind the attack.
“Caught, but he bit his tongue and committed suicide,” Pei Huaian spoke indifferently.
Such an outcome was expected by him, that person always ensured not to leave any loose ends in his work.
Shao He furrowed her brows, “What exactly do those assassins want? Are they really just out to kill Yun Qian?”
Hearing her say this, Pei Huaian laughed and shook his head, “Things are more complicated than you imagine, but it’s best that you stay out of this. I don’t want you to get hurt.”
Shao He lowered her gaze, her eyes flickering away from the concern she saw in his.
Pei Huaian wanted to reach out and smooth her furrowed brows but ultimately restrained his inner emotions, he lowered his gaze, hiding the sorrow in his eyes.
Shao He lifted her gaze, looking at his handsome face, she spoke with some reluctance, “Would you like to go in and see the child?”
“Sure,” Pei Huaian said, the disheartened look vanishing, life returning to him once more.
Shao He heaved a sigh of relief, certain that her heart felt something for Pei Huaian, but she was too afraid to face it.
She did not wish to become entangled in the myriad complexities of the royal family, and this was the very reason for her reluctance towards Pei Huaian.

Qingxia and the others were used to seeing the people who followed along, and had naturally added another set of tableware on the table, as if everything was thus, simply natural.
Shao He did not bother about these trivial matters, but Xiao Linzhang was becoming increasingly attached to Pei Huaian.
He wanted to be held by him during meals, looked for him when playing, and even clung to him during sleep.
From the child’s various behaviors, one had to admit that Pei Huaian was indeed a qualified father.
“With the Fifth Prince here, Miss has it a bit easier,” Qingxia said with a smile.
Otherwise, each time Miss came back, the little master would cling to her, refusing to let go whether it was for meals, bath, or sleep. They tried everything to negotiate but to no avail.
Shao He glanced at Qingxia, then, as if struck by a thought, she turned and walked outside to the pavilion, turning her back to her and gazing at the placid lake.
“Qingxia, do you know anything about Consort Ming’s affair?”
“Consort Ming? I know a bit,” Qingxia was puzzled by her sudden interest in Consort Ming.
“Tell me about it.”
“Consort Ming has always been greatly favored by The Emperor, who was inseparable from her during her pregnancy. When Consort Ming gave birth to the Fifth Prince, The Emperor even rewarded the entire imperial palace, and the palace feasted for three days and nights.”
It was clear how much The Emperor cherished Consort Ming, but unfortunately, she was someone with thin fortune.
“What happened later? Why did Consort Ming suddenly disappear?”
“This servant is not very clear, I heard that her death was extremely tragic, and it seemed to involve an Imperial Physician, but I don’t know what happened after that.”
Shao He nodded, thinking about Yun Qian’s unusual behavior a while ago, and his state these last few days, she harbored a bold guess,
Could it be that the Imperial Physician had some relation to Yun Qian?
Pei Huaian, after putting the child to sleep, came out and saw the person standing in the pavilion in the breeze, returned to the room to fetch a cloak, and walked over.
“It’s cold outside, be careful not to catch a chill.”
Shao He took the cloak and smiled, “Thank you.”
“I know my status puts a lot of pressure on you, and I understand your inner concerns, but no matter what, I will keep standing here waiting for you until you are ready to take that step.”
“I…”
“You don’t have to give me an answer now, you still have time to think it over,” Pei Huaian said, then turned and left with a smile.
Right now, he truly did not have enough capacity to give happiness to the child and Shao He, the only thing he could do was to try his utmost to protect them, to prevent them from being harmed even a little.
Looking at his lonely figure, Shao He felt an indescribable emotion in her heart.
That night, Shao He lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep, with the image of that lonely figure lingering in her mind.
The next morning, wearing huge dark circles under her eyes, she arrived at Anji Hall.
Yun Qian almost got scared by her appearance and teased her, “What mischief did you get up to last night to end up looking like this?”
“Ha… It’s nothing,” Shao He said, yawning.
“Do you want to rest in the guest room? How can you treat patients looking like that?”
“That might be good.”
Shao He’s head was indeed feeling dizzy, she took a few steps then stopped and turned back.
“I heard you were attacked the night before last, are you alright?”
Yun Qian spread his arms and twirled in front of her, “Do I look like I’m hurt?”
“Do you know who attacked you?”
“You don’t need to worry about that,” Yun Qian replied, clearly trying to conceal something.
