Chapter 182: Chapter 150: Why Does Everyone Cry When They See Her

After the fright Shen Jingxian experienced upon waking up on the first day, she became much calmer in the days that followed.

People came one after another to visit her.

Mr. Duan was the first to come after Wen Ranchen and Fu Xuan.

As soon as he saw Shen Jingxian, this cold-faced teacher showed his “vulnerable” side, tears pouring down like rain, his voice choked up so much that he couldn’t manage to utter a complete sentence.

Shen Jingxian: …

Seeing this, Shen Jingxian handed him a handkerchief. She had bought it out of boredom for embroidery yesterday. Now it indeed only had one flower on it, which actually resembled a spider more than a flower, but it shouldn’t be a big issue.

Mr. Duan took the handkerchief, looking deeply moved. The Princess was clearly so bitter, yet she was still so understanding and comforting him. The Princess was truly… truly wonderful!!!

Thus, Mr. Duan cried even more sorrowfully.

At this moment, Shen Jingxian even suspected that Mr. Duan was her biological father. Otherwise, how could he cry so heart-wrenchingly?

Even the Emperor didn’t cry so sadly. Anyone who didn’t know might think she hadn’t woken up, but passed away instead.

Ah, pfft pfft pfft, she shouldn’t say such inauspicious things.

“Mr. Duan, my body is already better, you don’t have to worry too much.”

Mr. Duan sobbed for a while longer before he stopped crying, “Mr. Duan… was just too happy.”

Once he spoke, it was astonishing that there wasn’t a trace of his crying voice, instead he sounded serious and dependable.

Shen Jingxian was shocked, indeed teachers all have two faces.

Mr. Duan had liked the adorable Princess since she was little. Now that the Princess had grown up, although she wasn’t as plump as she was when she was a child, she had transformed into a remarkably radiant figure.

“In the blink of an eye, Your Highness has grown so much.”

Shen Jingxian blinked, yet she somehow felt she was still in her 8-year-old’s body as of yesterday.

She opened her mouth, but thinking that saying this might make Mr. Duan cry again, she decided to keep quiet.

Forget it, just consider that she has lived all these years well.

“Mr. Duan, how is Uncle Duan Biao doing now?”

Upon hearing this, Mr. Duan’s expression changed.

Shen Jingxian’s heart sank along with it. Could it be that Uncle Duan had already…

Mr. Duan’s expression was sorrowful, and Shen Jingxian’s heart ached as well. She still remembered how Duan Biao would send her many birthday gifts each year. He looked fierce but was exceptionally gentle…

“He is outside the palace gate.”

Indeed, Uncle Duan had already… hmm? Outside the palace gate?

“Why didn’t he come in?” Shen Jingxian didn’t understand. How could someone come and not come in to sit? She remembers that Uncle Duan seemed to like her quite a lot.

Mr. Duan still looked sorrowful; it turned out the Empress had issued an order that no one should disturb the Princess’ rest by carelessly presenting their cards to enter the palace. Mr. Duan, relying on his status as the Princess’ teaching mentor, only succeeded in touching the Empress’ heart after having his card rejected a hundred times and was the first one allowed inside.

“The Empress said only one person could visit, and your Uncle Duan, upon hearing this, gave the opportunity to me…”

What Mr. Duan said was very touching. If the corners of his mouth hadn’t curled into a strange smile, Shen Jingxian might really have believed his nonsense.

“Mr. Duan…”

Duan Shaoguang heard this and looked up smiling. Now he could naturally smile again.

Shen Jingxian was stunned by this smile, well, as long as Mr. Duan was happy.

Duan Shaoguang thought he understood the Princess’ intention and patted his chest to assure her, “Rest assured, Your Highness, I will definitely do my best to assist you!”

Rest assured, Your Highness, even though you have slept for so long and had your body snatched away by a monster for a time, you will always be the one and only choice for the throne in my heart.

The peaceful prosperity of Yunyi Country needs a benevolent ruler, faith, and you, Your Highness!! All who obstruct Your Highness from ascending the throne will be removed by my hand!

Shen Jingxian was bewildered by Mr. Duan’s sudden loyalty, but Mr. Duan was always like this. Perhaps he was too excited, so she didn’t pay much attention. “Hmm, then Yi Fen thanks Mr. Duan first.”

“There’s no need for Your Highness to thank me, Your Highness!”

“Mr. Duan, would you like some fruit? You seem a bit thirsty.”

Duan Shaoguang was stunned, and suddenly unparalleled loyalty surged within his heart. The Princess actually asked me if I’d like some fruit, how could the Princess be so… so good!!!

Shen Jingxian originally meant it out of Hua Country’s traditional politeness, just being courteous, but why did Mr. Duan start crying again?

“Mr. Duan… if you don’t like fruit, would you like, would you like some water?”

Duan Shaoguang shook his head, while shaking his head he picked up a bunch of Fragranceless Fruits from the table. These are a type of fruit similar to grapes, but without seeds, with very thin skin, which can be eaten directly.
