"Let's not do that." Su Mengyan was not interested and could not guess what Situ Yao was thinking.
However, after Yunfu's interruption, she was not as angry as before.
"Actually, the Crown Prince treats you differently." Yun Fu observed her expression and gently reminded her, "He may look angry on the surface, but he's not willing to punish you."
Su Mengyan didn't know where her bizarre ideas came from, so she had no choice but to tell Yun Fu about her kidnapping. Finally, she smiled bitterly and said, "His Highness is busy dealing with the epidemic in Chu City now, but he just doesn't have time to care about me. When he remembers it one day, he will definitely settle the score."
"Epidemic in Chu City?" Yun Fu was horrified. "Is the Crown Prince going there in person?"
Thinking of this, Yun Fu no longer had the heart to try to bring them together. After saying goodbye to Su Mengyan, he hurriedly ran to find Situ Yao.
Su Mengyan returned to her previous residence and was surprised to find Cui Mixue inside. "Why is Miss Cui here?"
Cui Mixue was obviously stunned, and subconsciously asked, "Why are you back?"
Su Mengyan thought this sentence was strange, but her mind was in a state of confusion, so she didn't think too much about it. "The miracle doctor released me."
"I see." Cui Mixue concealed the disappointment in her eyes and smiled happily, "I'm glad you're back."
"I have no one to talk to in the villa, so I wanted to come and sit with you. Yan'er, you won't mind, right?" Cui Mixue asked gently and softly.
Su Mengyan shook her head, "Miss Cui, if you like, you can come over anytime."
"I see that you are very tired, so I won't disturb you. I will come to see you another day." Cui Mixue saw the fatigue on Su Mengyan's face and tactfully said goodbye and left.
"My lady, my lady, you are finally back." Chun He came in after Cui Mixue left. "I thought you would never come back."
Su Mengyan did have that thought, but before she could put it into practice, Situ Yao ruthlessly stopped her. She couldn't say these words out loud. She comforted Chun He a few words and then sent him away.
Now that Situ Yao has captured her, he'll definitely be more cautious in the future. She'll probably have fewer opportunities to sneak away. Su Mengyan needs to think carefully about what to do next: continue clinging to him, or plan an escape?
Su Mengyan sat on the chair with her chin supported by her hands. When Situ Yao pushed open the door and came in, he saw her confused look and couldn't help swallowing what he wanted to say.
"Why are you here?" Su Mengyan stood up quickly, a flash of fear on her face.
"Are you afraid of being alone?" Situ Yao took a step forward, and a warm breath surrounded her.
"Your Highness is a daughter of gold, and I am just a small concubine. It is normal for me to be afraid of you." Su Mengyan said as she took a step back, a little further away from him.
"I've already said that I don't care about this incident, but I don't want it to happen next time." When Situ Yao said this, his dark eyes stared at her, motionless.
Su Mengyan recalled how the protagonist, Situ Yao, was known for his decisive and suspicious nature. No one dared to approach him. Her escape and subsequent capture had stirred up a hornet's nest.
"Your Highness, have you finished discussing the Chu City issue?" Su Mengyan changed the subject. "If it's really like what the Xu brothers said, and the people of Chu City are suffering terribly, how can we help them?"
"Did you tell Yunfu?" Situ Yao asked without any context.
Su Mengyan thought for a while before she realized that Situ Yao meant that he disliked her for being too talkative.
"Don't talk to her about this kind of thing in the future." Situ Yao warned her.
"After we go back this time, I will consider giving you a promotion." Situ Yao felt that if he gave her a higher status, she would not think about running away all day long.
However, Su Mengyan did not have a remarkable family background, nor was she outstanding in appearance. Even if her status was promoted, it would be impossible for her to soar to the sky.
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness." Su Mengyan declined politely, "But I think this is fine."
Su Mengyan felt that she couldn't leave for the time being, so she could only cling to someone else's influence. As for Situ Yao's promotion of her status, it might seem respectful, but it would definitely make her a thorn in the eyes of others, so she would rather not have it.
"You don't want it?" Situ Yao looked unhappy. "Are you still thinking about leaving?"
Su Mengyan lowered her head and said nothing.
"I won't give you a chance!" Situ Yao turned away.
Situ Yao has already decided to go to Chu City, and no matter how Yun Fu tries to stop him, it is useless.
Yun Fu couldn't persuade her, so he thought of Su Mengyan. He ran to her with red eyes and pulled her out.
Su Mengyan took great effort to make her stop, "Where are you going?"
"Come with me to persuade the Crown Prince not to go to Chu City." Yun Fu had never heard of that epidemic. He guessed that it was similar to the plague and could take people's lives if they were not careful.
She sniffed, "Brother Crown Prince is the future heir to the throne, and he shouldn't be allowed to take risks."
"Yunfu, have you already told His Highness?" Su Mengyan remembered that Situ Yao wanted to bring an army to question her yesterday, but it ended in nothing. She pulled her to sit next to him and asked, "What did His Highness say?"
"The Crown Prince said I didn't understand and told me not to ask any more questions." Yun Fu felt even more aggrieved when she mentioned this. "I'm his biological sister. Is it wrong for me to worry about his safety? Why would the Crown Prince say that?"
Situ Yao looked at the warning "Keep away from strangers", but in fact he cared about the people, otherwise he would not have brought the Xu brothers back.
"Yunfu, he's not just your brother, he's also the crown prince," Su Mengyan continued. "He should govern according to his position. Chucheng is our territory, and the people there are all your subjects. It's his responsibility, and he can't just ignore it."
"No one knows what's happening in Chu City right now. What if something happens to the Crown Prince?" Yun Fu still disagreed with letting him go. "He doesn't know any medical skills, so what good would he do even if he went?"
"Princess." Su Mengyan interrupted her mumbling, "Your Highness will be fine."
"You don't want to help me anymore?" Yun Fu pouted in dissatisfaction.
Su Mengyan looked at her with a headache. How could she make her understand? No matter what, Situ Yao had to go to Chucheng, and no one could stop him.
"It's not that I don't want to help you, it's just that I can't do anything." Su Mengyan spread her hands, indicating that she was powerless.
Neither of them noticed that Situ Yao was standing not far behind them, and he had heard everything Su Mengyan said before.
Yunfu was still pestering Su Mengyan, wanting her to persuade him.
"Yunfu." Situ Yao appeared in front of them, startling them both. "Brother Crown Prince, why are you here?"
"What are you talking about?" Situ Yao pretended to be curious.
