Besides, there is a secret cell in Prince Shen's Mansion, and many people are imprisoned in it. It is indeed not easy to tell other people in the mansion about this matter, and Shiqing and Huayi are two girls.
Sometimes knowing nothing is indeed better than knowing something you shouldn't know.
Lu Wan sat back in front of his chair dejectedly, not daring to even look at the hotpot. He just urged the two maids to take it away.
Of course, she really couldn't blame herself for this. She dared to say that no one could enjoy eating after walking out of Chen Yan's dungeon.
Shiqing and Huayi didn't know the reason why Lu Wan did this, but they still followed her instructions, took the meat away, and told the kitchen not to send meat to the courtyard after the next seven days.
Even though there was no meat, Lu Wan still didn't eat much. After taking two quick bites, she asked someone to take all the food away. She felt hungry and sleepy, but couldn't eat anything.
In order to avoid feeling too hungry, Lu Wan chose to lie back in bed early, and also asked Shiqinghuayi and the others to wake him up early the next morning.
There have been frequent incidents recently, and it is impossible that there is no movement in the court. Lu Wan is worried, so she has to go and take a look.
Thinking of this, she slowly fell asleep, but her sleep did not seem to be very sound. She vaguely saw a little boy sitting outside the wall of a house with his legs hugged.
The boy's clothes were torn into strips, but his obviously childish face showed a calmness and composure that was inconsistent with his age. It was precisely this overly calm expression that made people forget at first glance what a pitiful situation he was in.
It was the coldest time of winter, with snow all over the place outside, but he could only live in a thatched shed to block the cold wind.
But the situation at this moment was not the worst. After a while, a burly man came out and drove the boy away from his door. The boy did not argue with him. After the man finished speaking, he turned around and left in silence.
In this way, Lu Wan walked behind the boy, following him all the way through the mountain streams, from winter to spring.
So the next morning, Lu Wan almost couldn't get out of bed. If she hadn't had a little determination in her heart, she would have crawled back into bed to continue sleeping.
While Huayi was combing his hair, Lu Wan yawned loudly, but couldn't help wondering when he became so sleepy even in his dreams.
Looking at Lu Wan whose eyelids kept drooping, Shi Qing and Hua Yi seemed to have something on their mind. They opened their mouths several times but swallowed their words back when they saw Lu Wan.
After so many times, Lu Wan couldn't pretend she didn't see it. She looked at Shi Qing and Hua Yi with a smile, "Just say whatever you want to say. I feel bad for you for holding it in your heart."
Huayi couldn't keep her thoughts to herself. After hearing what Lu Wan said, she hurriedly said, "Sir, you and the prince——"
Before she could finish her sentence, Shi Qing pulled her aside. Seeing Lu Wan's puzzled look, Shi Qing hurriedly smiled and said, "Sir, don't worry, we will keep this matter a secret for you."
Lu Wan was stunned for a moment. It seemed that he had no secrets to keep these days?
But looking at Shi Qing and Hua Yi's serious expressions, if he was not the person involved, Lu Wan would almost ask himself what secret he had.
Just as she was about to ask in detail, Lu Wan turned her head to glance at the copper clock and found that it was already past midnight. She knew that Chen Yan was probably still waiting for her in the front yard, so she did not dare to delay and hurried to the front yard.
The moment she saw Shen Yan, Lu Wan almost thought she had recognized the wrong person. She couldn't help but look at the dark circles under Shen Yan's eyes for a few more times, and then looked at him worriedly, "What's wrong? Didn't you sleep well last night?"
Shen Yan shook his head, pressed his fingers on his forehead, and said, "I dreamed of something that happened a long time ago."
Seeing that he was not in a good mood, Lu Wan wanted to persuade Shen Yan not to go to court today, but she knew in her heart that Shen Yan had to make decisions on all matters now. If he did not go to court, the Queen Mother would inevitably take the opportunity to do something small.
No matter how big the incident was, Shen Yan could only pretend that nothing had happened. Only in this way would he not be discovered by others.
I don't know why, but when Lu Wan heard him talk about his dreams about the past, she also remembered the little boy she saw last night. With this thought in mind, Lu Wan compared the two of them and found that the little boy really looked like Shen Yan.
However, this thought only flashed through Lu Wan's mind for a moment before she put it behind her.
There was no other reason. Lu Wan had never seen Chen Yan as a child, so how could he dream about him? Compared to those bizarre statements, Lu Wan believed that he had fabricated a little boy with a tragic life in his mind. As for why the little boy looked very similar to Shen Yan, it was probably because he had seen Shen Yan the most in the past few days, so he remembered his appearance most deeply.
Both of them had something on their minds, so they didn't say a word while sitting in the carriage. When the carriage slowly came to a stop, Lu Wan was shocked to realize that he was already outside the palace.
When Lu Wan entered the Golden Palace again after being away for many days and paid his respects with others, he saw the little emperor looking at him worriedly.
Facing such a look, Lu Wan suddenly remembered that he seemed to have not yet asked Shen Yan what reason he used to ask for leave for him.
But now was not the time to say this. Lu Wan stayed obediently in the corner, watching the ministers take turns to perform.
