46 Chapter 46 West Wing Courtyard
◎Yuliu returned to the hospital twice late at night◎
Yuliu didn't expect Yunhe to suddenly stand in front of her.
The fourth prince lives a life of freedom and luxury. He has a violent and unruly personality. When his murderous urges come, no one can stop him.
But when the sword was pointed, Yuliu still had the confidence that she could make the Fourth Prince consider the Fourth Prince's wife's face and restrain his murderous intent because of her sisterly relationship with the Fourth Prince's wife.
But Yun He had no relatives or friends with the Fourth Prince, so if he rashly stepped forward...
Yuliu only heard the Fourth Prince's voice like a thunderstorm and lightning as he asked "How dare Yunhe?", and her heart suddenly tightened, as if it would jump into her throat. At that moment, she thought that instead of letting Yunhe take the sword for her, it would be better to let the sword point at her!
Better than unnecessary worry.
Yunhe had one hand behind his back, still holding Yuliu's arm, and was reluctant to let go.
He noticed that the girl's slender arm was a little tense under his palm, so he immediately put his four fingers together and patted it gently. At the same time, he rubbed his thumb in the armpit as a gentle comfort.
But Yun He's handsome face showed no fear of the Fourth Prince's erratic behavior. He said calmly, "Your Highness, the Imperial Law is above all else. I am not a subject of the Xiao Kingdom. If you point your sword at the people of the Poison Doctor Valley...if word gets out, wouldn't that be inappropriate?"
People from the Poison Doctor Valley rarely leave the valley, so once the news of someone from the valley entering the world spreads, the princes and nobles will spend a lot of money to get him/her.
Xiao Tianmin was naturally one of them.
He once tried to ask Li Shengshou to go to Yuqingyuan in Yuliu to lobby the genius doctor from the Poison Doctor Valley to work for him, but unfortunately he returned empty-handed and failed to recruit such a talent. Therefore, the Fourth Prince had never seen the person from the Poison Doctor Valley who appeared in Xiao State.
But this person was already from the Poison Doctor Valley and was very close to Yuliu, so it was not difficult for him to guess that this person was the talented person he wanted to recruit.
But the sword had already been drawn. If it was withdrawn without reason because of someone else's words, it would be a loss of face for the royal family. So Xiao Tianmin simply pressed his fingertips, silently moving the sword tip away a little, reducing his murderous intent a little. Frowning unhappily, he said, "It's you?"
Yun He's mind was not on the so-called precious Fourth Prince at all. He had no intention of exploring the deeper meaning behind the other party's "It's you". He just glanced at the bloody iron sword, thinking of Yu Liu's panic just now, and frowned slightly, saying:
"Your Highness, the situation was chaotic and sudden, but I took a quick glance and saw with my own eyes that the weapon in the hands of a certain assassin was engraved with the Nanshi flower pattern of the Chu State."
The weapons of various countries are strictly controlled, especially swords. Therefore, when the government produces them, they will deliberately leave marks and patterns after they are produced.
Since Yun He could notice this small detail at a quick glance, how could Xiao Tianmin, who was in close combat with the knife-wielding assassin, not know it?
Yun He had only said this to introduce the topic. Seeing that Xiao Tianmin showed no sign of surprise or displeasure, he continued slowly:
"Although Chu is the homeland of the Fourth Prince's consort, the world is vast, and there's no guarantee that there won't be those with ulterior motives who would take advantage of the lantern festival to commit evil. Therefore, instead of pointing your sword directly at me, Your Highness, it would be best if you ordered a search for the Fourth Prince's consort's whereabouts to ensure her safety."
Yun He's words were logical, but Xiao Tianmin's forehead was bulging with veins as if he had been poked in a sore spot. He suddenly plunged his sword into the ground with such force that it broke through the soil by more than three inches. He shouted angrily, "Chu?!"
"Great! Why do all of you think she was forced into captivity?" Xiao Tianmin glanced back and forth between Yun He and Yu Liu. Suddenly, his brows furrowed, he sternly said, "She clearly planned this all along and wanted to escape!"
Yu Liu Ning choked: "..."
Yuliu felt that she had been compatible with Yunhe for a long time, and at this moment, she completely didn't understand why the Fourth Prince was so angry.
The Fourth Prince's own princess ran away, and he actually had the nerve to say this so loudly?
Besides, Yun He's words were clearly just to give Xiao Tianmin a way out. Is there something wrong with the Fourth Prince's focus?
If Su Yunyue was kidnapped by someone with ulterior motives in the State of Chu, and the Fourth Prince was the one who took her out of the palace, and the Fourth Prince's wife was in danger, sending troops to rescue her would be the best strategy to mend the situation.
Moreover, even if it was really Su Yunyue who planned this escape on her own, shouldn't the Fourth Prince, as her husband, reflect on whether he had done anything wrong in his daily life?!
Yuliu immediately clenched her hands even tighter, and her delicate hand bones were even more bulging out from the anger of the ignorant Fourth Prince.
Yun He only spoke kindly to the Fourth Prince for Yu Liu's sake. Upon hearing what he heard, he immediately felt that the Fourth Prince, who was rumored to be wise and brave, was nothing but a willful and vulgar man.
I wanted to stop here.
But Yuliu seemed very angry.
Yun He could probably guess that Yu Liu was worried about the whereabouts of the Fourth Prince's consort. So after a moment's deliberation, he offered a few more words of advice, tactfully saying, "It seems the Fourth Prince has a sense of justice. The Flower Dynasty banquet is approaching, and the Xiao Kingdom's capital is full of mixed people. I imagine the Fourth Prince has prepared secret guards to investigate potential risks. However, I believe that the Fourth Prince has many talented people under his command. It might not be difficult to use the opportunity of finding the Fourth Prince's consort to follow the clues and find the whereabouts of the Fourth Prince's consort. Besides, why not kill two birds with one stone?"
Xiao Tianmin didn't originally want to pursue Su Yunyue.
But when he thought of the woman's tenderness last night, he felt that it was all absurd lies. Su Yunyue did all that just to please him and lower his defenses, and then take the opportunity of going out of the palace for a night stroll to escape from him.
The more Xiao Tianmin thought about it, the more upset he became. He couldn't bring himself to do it, so he went to look for it desperately.
Although he was also a little worried.
Yun He had already said this much, so Xiao Tianmin finally drew his sword and pointed at the leading black-clad guard, saying, "Did you hear that? What are you still kneeling for? Go and chase them!"
Then the black-clad hidden guards who were kneeling on the ground clasped their fists and said "yes, sir", and then flew away silently in all directions like crows.

Since the Fourth Prince's wife was missing, Yuliu naturally had no intention of visiting the lantern festival anymore.
So a night tour of Xidao Changjie ended in this abrupt way.
However, Master Chen was a man of justice. Not only did he pick up the seriously injured old man and bring him back to Chunfeng Fulan Tongji Hall for treatment, he even went so far as to order a cook from a restaurant to send him to Yuqing Courtyard.
It was rare that he did some good things that made Yuliu happy.
When Yuliu saw that the Fourth Prince had sent people to track down Su Yunyue, he went back with Yunhe and Fangyue. When they were in front of the courtyard gate, they saw a burly figure from afar and thought it was Jiang Jingmo waiting outside.
I felt strange.
Jiang Jingmo joined the army and served on the march. He has always been bold but not particular about details. Waiting for his master in front of the courtyard late at night is not something he would do.
When Yuliu walked closer, she saw that the burly man was indeed a middle-aged man with a big belly.
When the kitchen servant saw the girl in the lead approaching slowly, she looked like a fairy descending to earth. He immediately realized that this was the new hostess whom the owner of the building had asked him to serve. So he immediately took out the indenture written in the Spring Breeze Brushing Lantern, held it up with both hands, and handed it to Yuliu respectfully.
Yu Liu took it, glanced at it, and then handed the indenture to Fang Yue beside him, instructing, "This is a famous chef from the restaurant and tavern sent by Master Chen. Fang Yue, help this chef Li settle down in Yuqing Courtyard."
After saying this, he smiled at the kitchen servant named Li, then turned and walked into the courtyard.
Yuliu returned to the hospital late at night twice.
Last time, Su Yunyue asked her to stay in the palace for dinner, but this time, her sister actually...
Elm and Willow stepped on the moonlight all over the ground, and actually felt a little lonely in their hearts.
Fortunately, Yunhe accompanied him all the way along the corridor. The two of them walked side by side in silence, so he didn't feel too lonely.
The figures of the two were stretched out by the moonlight, and the silence was winding and intertwined as they walked together along the vermilion corridor. Yuliu saw that Yunhe had no intention of turning around to go to the west wing, and was about to speak to remind him when she suddenly remembered that Jiang Jingmo also lived in the west wing like Yunhe.
When Su Yunyue left the palace, the first thing she did was to visit Yuqing Courtyard. However, she was not in the courtyard. Jiang Jingmo had sent a message on Su Yunyue's behalf to inform her.
But after Jiang Jingmo left the house to deliver the message, where was he?
The Su family had been very kind to Jiang Jingmo, and he knew that Su Yunyue had invited him to go to the lantern festival together. If nothing unexpected happened, he would definitely find a chance to follow her and protect her.
But when Yuliu went to the night lantern festival on Xidao Chang Street, she never noticed Jiang Jingmo along the way.
The words that Yuliu wanted to persuade Yunhe to return to the West Wing came to her lips, but her tongue turned and suddenly became: "Yunhe."
"...Hmm?" Yun He lowered his head.
Yuliu turned her eyes to the side, looked at Yunhe in the moonlight, and said slowly:
"I want to go and see the west wing where you live."
