The Prime Minister's eldest daughter was betrothed to the powerful and influential Prince Reverent!
This should have been a great joyous occasion, but one was a famously ugly and useless ...
Without even glancing at Ye's expression, he said with great satisfaction, "Laughing so heartily, it seems she's alright. She really does have some skills."
“She was chosen by my mother, so how could she be bad? But just how poor is she?” Xuan Mingye said with deep emotion, but his expression darkened. None of the news his spies had gathered was good: a vicious mother, a heartless father, and several sisters who were even more despicable than outsiders.
He sighed and murmured, "She must have suffered too much at the Qian family to dare to accept anyone's sincerity, right?"
"Hmm! Most likely. I think she treats the girl quite well, she's not a bad girl." Bu Yu replied to Ye's words, picked up a cup of tea and took a sip.
"Have her go to your medicine storehouse tomorrow and take anything else she needs," Xuan Mingye said thoughtfully.
Pfft!
Luckily, Ye reacted quickly enough that the water didn't splash onto her face.
He wiped the water off himself, his eyes red from choking, and said, "They're not even married yet, and he's already spoiling that woman like this. If they get married, won't he have to give her the entire palace?"
"What is the Prince's mansion? I can give you far more than this." Xuan Mingye responded domineeringly to Bu Yu's words. His mind was filled with Qian Youxue, who had a sharp tongue but a soft heart. He was both angry and fond of this woman.
This is insane!
He didn't feel any pain in his chest; many of the medicinal herbs were priceless and extremely rare. He needed to organize the herbs in the large medicine storehouse in advance, lest there really be nothing left.
Xuan Mingye had been lying in bed for several days and it was time to find somewhere to stretch his muscles. Turning back, he asked Leng Xue, "Has that woman made any moves these past few days?"
Leng Xue recounted everything that had happened at the Qian family to his master. He could tell from his master's voice that he had recovered well, and he didn't want to tell the master that it was all thanks to the eldest daughter of the Qian family. Therefore, he also secretly hoped that the eldest daughter of the Qian family could truly become their queen.
Just as they were talking, Leng Yu walked in from outside, her face not looking good. She stepped forward, bowed, and reported, "Miss Qian has left the city with two servants."
On a dark and windy night, if someone were to leave the city, it would be either to kill someone or to search for something in the mountains. Either possibility made Xuan Mingye frown.
Seeing that her master was about to go and see, Leng Yu gritted her teeth, wanting to say something, but when she saw Leng Xue's glare, she swallowed her words.
However, Leng Yu did not forget to remind her master of one thing: "Master, you have been back for some time now, and the truth will eventually come out."
Xuan Mingye snapped out of his daze and glanced at Leng Yu. Indeed, he had been missing for some time. If he didn't reappear soon, that person might assume he was dead.
Now that the Crown Prince's marriage has fallen through, will his return with his defeated troops lead to another interesting drama?
A sense of anticipation rose in his heart, and then he coldly ordered, "Go and make preparations. The invincible War King has been defeated, crippled, and disfigured. I want to see how many enemies are still hiding in Xuanwu."
"Yes!" Leng Xue and Leng Yu bowed and accepted the order at the same time.
After Xuan Mingye finished speaking, his body flickered and disappeared into the night like a shadow.
Feeling the cold wind brush past her, Leng Yu suddenly looked up: "Master, you..."
"Leng Yu, you must understand that nothing is more important than the master's health. Even if you and Leng Qing don't like the eldest daughter of the Qian family, you must not be disrespectful to her, otherwise you will definitely regret it one day." Leng Xue warned Leng Yu seriously, hoping that Leng Yu would also convey these words to Leng Qing.
It was an undeniable fact that Qian Youxue had managed to wake her master; even Mr. Bu Yu greatly admired her acupuncture skills. Leng Yu silently lowered her head, and after a long while, she slowly nodded.
