Chapter 1040: Chapter 840: What is Your Relationship?

Not only were her hands red, but her eyes were red as well.

When Yege was first brought back, she explained the situation to the Crown Prince, saying that this man was her childhood friend and the brother who had taken care of her since she was young. She would spend some time looking after him and hoped the Crown Prince would agree. The Crown Prince, who doted on her, felt slightly uneasy about it, but he agreed to her request nonetheless.

Nangong Nini remembered when Yege was first brought back, he looked just like the Yege she had missed for so long, tall and muscular with a robust physique. She used to be very mischievous and often asked him to carry her on his back, feeling as solid as a mountain, but now, after several months, she felt his muscles gradually relaxing and his face slimming down. Yet, his eyes clearly spoke volumes.

He recognized her. The first time he saw her, there were tears in his eyes. The siblings had been very close as children, but everything had changed when they met again: their parents were gone, she was now the Crown Prince Consort, and he had become the Grand Prince of Dazhou.

"Brother," Nangong Nini held his hand, "I know you are in a lot of pain now, but rest assured, no matter what, I am with you. I’ll come to visit you every day. You mustn’t lose your will. You have to think about getting better every day, and you will. The emperor is constantly seeking doctors. Someone will surely be able to cure you. If you hear me say anything, just blink your eyes, okay?"

Yege blinked his eyes.

Nangong Nini’s nose twitched, and her tears flowed again, "See, what did I tell you? My brother is the strongest brother, no matter what challenges you face. In my eyes, you have always been that invincible brother."

Yege’s eyes were open, looking upwards. Who could know why he was enduring so much hardship at this moment, why he chose to live such a hard life? It was because he knew that someone far away was always waiting for him."

...

When Nangong Nini returned to her own palace, the Crown Prince had already returned and was waiting inside for her.

She glanced at the Crown Prince, then absentmindedly sat beside him, at which point the Crown Prince asked, "Where is Doudou?"

"Doudou? Doudou... he, he..." Nangong Nini looked around, then suddenly remembered that she had left Doudou at Concubine De’s place because Doudou had said he was sleepy and wanted to sleep. Thus, Nan Feng had let him sleep on Concubine De’s bed.

The Crown Prince looked at Nangong Nini with a resigned expression, a hint of reproach in his eyes, "Nini, have you been too frivolous lately? Is our son less important to you than your childhood friend?"

"No, it’s not like that. In my heart, Doudou is more important than anyone, but my brother... his relationship with me is different..."

"Nini, it seems like he should be my brother actually, since he is the Grand Prince," the Crown Prince said with a tone still carrying reproach.

Nangong Nini dared not speak further, knowing that what she should do now was to bring Doudou back from Concubine De’s place.

She was about to turn around to leave when suddenly a palace maid brought Doudou back. The maid was from Concubine De’s quarters, and after handing Doudou to Nangong Nini, the maid added, "Your Highness, the Crown Prince Consort, Concubine De asked me to tell you that a famous doctor has just arrived. He claims he can cure the Grand Prince’s poison, and he seems very confident. However, whether it works or not, we will only know tomorrow."
