Chapter 191 An inch of sky
It felt like a prey being targeted by a venomous snake, with chills running down my back and a creepy feeling.

Chen Shulan was huddled on the beauty's couch covered with a blanket, her pretty eyebrows tightly knitted, and her mood was irritable.

"Miss." The maid Qing Moss said softly: "You should eat some at least. I haven't eaten much in the past two days. If this continues, I will lose weight."

"Don't eat."

Chen Shulan looked away, "This food tastes weird. It doesn't taste like home at all. I don't want to eat it."

"But -" Qing Moss hesitated, looking at Aunt Liu at the door as if asking for help.

Aunt Liu also sighed and shook her head.

Chen Shulan has been polite and sensible since she was a child, but she is very picky when it comes to eating and drinking.

If it doesn't suit your taste, you'd rather go hungry than take a bite.

The more you try to persuade her, the more she will push you.

After so many years, this temper has not changed at all. On the contrary, after entering the capital, he has become worse and more willful.

Especially when Qing Ci escort made her unhappy, it would be even worse.

Aunt Liu sighed repeatedly, lamenting the young lady's temper and scolding the Qingci guard for not being flexible.

If you let the young lady continue to be willful like this, will she get sick?

Grandma Liu glanced at Chen Shulan, who was sick and lacked energy, stamped her feet slightly, and went outside.

After a while, she walked in with Chen Qingci, who was frowning, and pointed her chin inwards, gesturing for Chen Qingci to come in.

Chen Qingci looked in.

Chen Shulan was lying on the beauty on the jade shaft, looking at an unknown green bud in the window in a daze, her face was pale, and her lips were also white.

His eyes were even more distracted and confused.

Chen Qingci's heart ached, and he sighed deeply. He took the food from Qingmo's hand, stepped in, and put it on the table in front of Chen Shulan, "Miss."

Chen Shulan looked back at him, expressionless: "What are you here for?"

"No matter what, you can't live with your own body." Chen Qingci arranged the bowls and chopsticks and advised in a gentle voice: "You can eat as much as possible."

Chen Shulan sneered: "Who are you? What qualifications do you have to ask me?"

"My subordinates really have no right to ask for a lady."

Chen Qingci looked at her quietly, his expression not changing because of Chen Shulan's harsh words, he just said calmly: "A subordinate is a subordinate, and I care about the young lady's health for the old prince."

"If the old prince knew that the young lady didn't cherish him like this, he would definitely feel very uneasy."

"You're going to use my grandpa to suppress me? Won't you say something else?"

"My subordinate is just telling the truth."

"Get out!"

Chen Shulan shouted angrily, her face turned livid with anger and her teeth chattering, "Get out, get out——"

Chen Qingci stood still and said, "Miss, please eat some."

"I said I won't eat if I don't want to eat, don't you understand?"

Chen Shulan saw that he clearly regarded her as his master and was so humble and submissive that he suddenly became furious and grabbed the tableware and chopsticks and threw them at Chen Qingci.

The food hit Chen Qingci all over his body.

Chen Qingci did not dodge or dodge, nor did he move his eyelids.

Chen Shulan was filled with anger and sadness, her eyes immediately turned red, and there was moisture in her eyes.

Chen Qingci's back was tense, and the hands curled up under his sleeves kept tightening, loosening, and tightening again. Finally, his shoulders slumped, and all the emotions in his eyes disappeared, like a pool of dead water.

He mechanically advised: "Miss, don't take your body seriously, eat some."

Chen Shulan raised her head and closed her eyes, hiding the moisture and all the emotions in her eyes. When she opened her eyes again after a while, her eyes were empty.

"I'll eat." Chen Shulan said, "Place the food again, I'll eat."

Aunt Liu quickly asked Qing Moss and Qiangwei to bring over the warm meals and set them up.

Chen Shulan held the bowl and ate mechanically.

Seeing this scene in the eyes of the waiters, they couldn't bear to look away and turned away.

They all know why Chen Shulan is like this.But they could only pretend not to know.

Five years ago, when Chen Shulan was 12 years old, she was destined to marry into the royal family and become the emperor's eldest grandson's concubine.

There is absolutely no possibility between her and Chen Qingci.

And no news that damages the reputation should be spread, otherwise the Chen family would not be able to bear the emperor's accusation.

When the Chen family cannot afford it, Chen Qingci, as a domestic slave, will definitely bear the brunt and will not be able to escape.

The rest of the people serving Chen Shulan will not end well either.

Chen Shulan looks noble and well-loved. She will marry into the royal family one day, and even reach a distinguished position that women all over the world look up to.

And in fact, how much does she live for herself?

But he is a puppet held by others, a victim of family interests.

She ate in silence, rinsed her mouth, and rested under the care of Aunt Liu.

As for Chen Qingci, after Chen Shulan started eating, he retreated silently.

Chen Shulan lay flat on the bed, looking up at the light blue bed curtain.

As blue as the sky.

The cloudless sky in northern Hebei is this color.

And her sky, like this bed tent, is only an inch.

Suddenly, Chen Shulan sat up.

Aunt Liu, who was standing guard by the bed, asked softly, "What does the young lady want?"

Chen Shulan got up and got out of bed silently and put on her embroidered shoes.

"Miss?"

Aunt Liu quickly took a coat and put it on Chen Shulan. Just as she was about to ask her if she was in a bad mood and couldn't sleep, Chen Shulan suddenly picked up the candlestick next to the bed.

boom!
She hit it hard.

Aunt Liu fell down on the bed with a "thud".

Chen Shulan took off Nanny Liu's clothes with difficulty but quickly, pushed her to the bed and covered her with a quilt.

Then he put on the dress, changed into Aunt Liu's hair accessories, and exited the boudoir.

The maid who was guarding outside heard the sound just now. Seeing Grandma Liu walking in a hurry, she couldn't help but ask: "Mammy, what's the matter?"

But Grandma Liu remained silent and only said vaguely, "Something's wrong."

The maid didn't dare to ask any more questions.

Just uneasy.

After Nanny Liu left, she went in to take a look.

It was dark in the room, and she only saw the young lady sleeping peacefully on the bed, without anything unusual.

The maid could not help but breathe a sigh of relief and quietly exited the room.

Chen Shulan half-hidden her face all the way. Taking advantage of the darkness, she managed to avoid the patrolling guards and successfully reached the place she wanted to go - the servant's room.

Qingci was originally her personal bodyguard.

But he insisted on going to the stable to be a horse slave, and now he lives in such a shabby and drafty place?
Chen Shulan looked at the dilapidated and crude courtyard and slowly gritted her teeth.

Chen Shulan didn't dare to say anything, so she could only stand by the door of the courtyard, carefully looking at the situation inside, thinking about how to call Chen Qingci out.

However, the sky was dark and the lights in the yard were dim. She couldn't see anything clearly, and she couldn't even be sure whether Chen Qingci was inside.

So, she could only prick up her ears and listen to the voices talking inside, hoping to get some information.

There were sounds of men shouting and laughing in the yard.

Some are rough, some are high-pitched, some have accents and some sound like broken gongs.

But there was no voice from Chen Qingci.

Just when Chen Shulan was at her wits' end, a cold male voice suddenly came from behind: "Who?"
