In the carriage, Chu Yanyan touched the heater in his hands with both hands and said nothing.
His silence made Chu Feng feel even more distressed. What had happened to his little brother in the East Palace? His face seemed a little rounder than before. Ugh, no, he was thinner. His eyes looked much brighter than before, but a little quieter.
However, it was good enough that his brother could come out of the East Palace alive. His frown relaxed and he asked softly, "Little brother, I'm glad you came out safely... Did the Crown Prince ask you to come back again?"
Chu Yanyan looked up at Big Brother Chu's worried eyes and nodded: "The prince said that I would only be released for two days, and after two days I have to go back to accompany him."
Chu Feng widened his eyes.
Two days!! Just two days! They're even more stingy than the emperor treating his subjects. Officials like them can get more than ten days off!
After Chu Feng passed the imperial examination through his own efforts, he had a position in the imperial court, so it was no mistake for him to work beside his father.
After all, the other party is the prince, the heir to the throne. No matter how much Chu Feng loves his younger brother, there is nothing he can do.
He sighed deeply and looked at Chu Yanyan's face: "You have worked hard, little brother."
"It's not hard. The prince is very nice to me." Chu Yanyan told him truthfully.
Chu Feng thought that Chu Yanyan was only reporting good news to her family and not bad news. He understood, he understood everything.
He said in a deep tone: "I asked your sister-in-law to prepare a lot of your favorite food for you, and we will be able to eat it when we go back."
Speaking of food, Chu Yanyan's eyes lit up: "Okay."
Chu Yanyan's joy further confirmed Chu Feng's suspicion that his younger brother was not eating well in the East Palace.
His face looked even more ashamed.
Chu Yanyan looked at the other party's series of performances and was very puzzled. What happened to Chu Feng?
After stopping and starting several times, the driver shouted.
Chu Yanyan woke up from her nap.
"We're home." Chu Feng said, and then walked out.
Chu Yanyan followed behind with a hand warmer, lifted the curtain, and came down with the help of his servants.
He looked up at the entrance of the mansion. There were many people standing at the entrance, and they were looking at Chu Yanyan with tears in their eyes.
How could they not be happy that their little brother had returned safely?
Chu Yanyan looked at those people and greeted them one by one according to his memory: "Grandma, Dad, Mom, Eldest Sister-in-law, Second Brother, Second Sister-in-law, Sister, Brother-in-law, I'm back."
Grandma wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her handkerchief: "It's good that you can come back, it's good that you can come back."
Chu Xiang hugged his wife and said, "Alright, alright, Yanyan must be tired after coming back. Let him go into the house and freshen up first, and then we can chat together."
"Yes, yes, let's go into the house." Chu Feng said from the side.
The woman standing next to Chu Feng said gently, "I have asked someone to prepare the food that Yanyan likes. I am just waiting for Yanyan to taste it herself."
Chu Yanyan looked at the woman and smiled at her: "Thank you, sister-in-law."
"Come on, come on, let's go inside."
"Master, please."
Chu Yanyan walked in amidst the warm welcome.
When I returned to the house where the original owner lived, as soon as I entered, I was greeted by the strong smell of sandalwood.
He sat for a while, and then the servants came in with hot water.
"Young master, let me change your clothes." A pretty maid came up and wanted to change Chu Yanyan's clothes.
Chu Yanyan waved her hand, refusing her help: "No need, you guys go out first, I can do it myself."
The maid opened her mouth, then lowered her head and said respectfully, "Yes."
Then slowly retreat.
After the door was closed, Chu Yanyan walked to the door and locked it inside. Then he walked to the bathtub, took off his heavy outer clothes, leaving only an inner garment. He entered the bathtub filled with flower petals, immersed himself in the water, and felt the hot water hitting him.
He stuck his head out of the water. His white undershirt was soaked, the collar was open, and the marks on his neck were visible.
This is why Chu Yanyan didn't let the maids serve him.
Seeing these marks on his body, it is hard not to let one’s imagination run wild.
Although the original owner should have gotten married at this age, he was spoiled by his family and had no intention of getting married, so the marriage was shelved until Chu Yanyan arrived.
After taking a shower, Chu Yanyan put on comfortable clothes and tried on several pieces. After making sure that the traces inside were covered, he asked the maid to come in and help him dry his hair.
After washing up, he went to have lunch with the people in the mansion.
At the same time, the news that Chu Yanyan had safely returned to the Chu family from the East Palace spread like wildfire.
It also reached the ears of people with ulterior motives.
A royal palace.
A clanging sound was heard.
"What? You said that the young master of the Chu family came out safely from the East Palace?" Su Ranyan's shocked voice came.
Feng Yechen put his arm around Su Ranyan's shoulders and gently comforted her, "The spy reported it truthfully."
Su Ranyan took a deep breath: "What is Feng Qingwu thinking? Is he disobeying orders?"
Feng Yechen frowned: "I still can't figure out Feng Qingwu's behavior, but it's time for us to investigate Chu Yanyan."
Speaking of Chu Yanyan, Su Ranyan's face became gloomy.
Something unexpected happened in her poorly planned plan, and that unexpected thing was Chu Yanyan.
