"Is that really what His Majesty said?"
Inside the Prince of Yan's residence, Qin Chuan sat on a rosewood armchair and spoke to Xiao Yue, who was sitting opposite him.
The thought of the Empress saying, "If you dare to judge others with your petty mind again, don't blame me for stabbing you to death with my sword," made him want to laugh. Since she said that, it was a good thing; at least Ruyan was alright...
Xiao Yue took a sip of apple cider vinegar, and the sourness made her stick out her tongue, her eyebrows furrowing into a line.
Seeing Xiao Yue's reaction to the sour taste, Qin Chuan quickly took out AD calcium milk, nutritional drinks, and Want Want milk from the freezer. "If you can't stand sour things, try these..."
Looking at the chilled items, Xiao Yue exclaimed in amazement, "How does your freezer keep things so chilled all the time?"
Qin Chuan pointed to the wiring equipment next to the refrigerator, "I solve the electricity problem using solar panels and a large battery box."
Xiao Yue was completely bewildered, having no idea what he was talking about.
"Oh, and could you please pass on another message for me..."
Before Qin Chuan could finish speaking, Xiao Yue stood up unhappily.
"Are you two ever going to stop?"
"Pass on a message! Am I, the princess, your mouthpiece?"
"Can't you two talk things out yourselves?"
As she spoke, she grew increasingly angry.
"An emperor and a Prince of Yan, neglecting such a vast country, are busy with their own romantic affairs, aren't they! They don't care about court affairs, national matters, or the people. For three days now, no one has taken charge, and officials from all departments have come to me, the princess, with all sorts of problems!"
"If you ask me, I don't need to stab you to death or you to death. Just wait for our ancestors to open their coffins, jump up, and give each of you a sword! I'll just stab you both to death!"
After saying that, Xiao Yue rolled her eyes and walked away angrily.
She had just stepped out of the hall when she turned back, giving Qin Chuan a cold glare before quickly and swiftly stealing AD calcium milk, nutritional drinks, and Want Want milk right under his nose…
Qin Chuan was inexplicably scolded.
I thought to myself, "No way, is this woman crazy?"
Why don't you take your anger out on your elder sister...?
...
Inside the palace, in the Empress's sleeping quarters.
After listening to the report from the palace maid Wan Chun, the Empress narrowed her phoenix eyes and her face turned ashen.
"You, Qin Chuan... you dare to keep a mistress hidden from me, huh!"
She clenched her fists, looking cold and angry.
Wan Chun said cautiously, "This servant only overheard some people gossiping outside the palace..."
The Empress sneered, "There's no smoke without fire. Given his lecherous nature, it's most likely true... How could I have fallen for such a lecher? I really want to stab him to death with my sword..."
"no!"
The Empress slammed her fist on the table and scolded, "Tomorrow I will personally go to his residence and drag that woman out!"
...
At the entrance of the Prince of Yan's residence.
Xiao Yue had just ridden away with the Dali guards.
A dark figure flashed out from under a large locust tree at the entrance.
Jiang Lianyue, wearing a cloak and a black outfit, scanned the entrance of the Yan Prince's mansion with her cold eyes. Seeing the heavy guards at the gate, she shifted her gaze elsewhere...
Then, she took off her cloak, tied it around her waist, stepped onto the trunk of the big locust tree with her small boots, stretched out her hands, and leaped up. Using the thick branches, she climbed the tree. Her body was as swift as a falcon. With a leap, she landed steadily on the glazed tiles of the courtyard wall.
Suddenly, a piece of glazed tile fell from the courtyard wall, making a cracking sound!
"who?"
The guard shouted.
Two Imperial Guards quickly arrived with guns.
"Meow~"
A sharp, high-pitched meow rang out.
Jiang Lianyue's body gently landed in the courtyard, making only a slight sound, and landed steadily on the blue brick ground.
Outside the courtyard wall, two Imperial Guards who had walked over exchanged a glance.
"It was just a cat!"
So they stopped tracking it.
A gentle breeze stirred, and Jiang Lianyue's veil was lifted softly.
Under the moonlight, only two thin lips were visible beneath the veil, revealing a hint of stubbornness. Her long eyelashes fluttered, and her cold eyes kept scanning the courtyard.
Suddenly she saw four guards carrying torches patrolling the courtyard of the Prince of Yan's mansion. She quickly slipped away and hid in the dense grove of potted trees.
And just then, a voice came from somewhere—
Who are you?!
Jiang Lianyue was startled and stood still, motionless.
After a few breaths, no one appeared.
Jiang Lianyue cautiously scanned her surroundings and found that there was no one there.
Looking down, I saw a little bird that had flown in from nowhere, and it could actually speak human language: "Who are you... I'm your grandpa... Hungry... Hungry... Daddy... Little Eight, eat... Daddy... Daddy..."
Little Ba flapped its wings, flying a bit and then swooping down under Jiang Lianyue's surprised gaze. It finally managed to fly into the second courtyard, and then flew towards Qin Chuan's room in the third courtyard, clearly to ask Qin Chuan for bird food.
"..."
Jiang Lianyue stood there stunned for a long time before she came to her senses from her shock.
She wore tiny boots that made only a soft rustling sound as she observed and searched for the best foothold. She leaped, landed, and bounced down with the agility of a swallow and the swiftness of a falcon.
“…Dad…Dad…”
The budgie, Little Eight, flapped its wings wildly, calling out "Papa," before bumping its head against a lantern hanging from the beam.
Just then, Butler Zhou came out and bumped into them. Seeing Xiao Ba, he shook his head and sighed helplessly, "You ungrateful little thing, you've come back to forage for food again, haven't you?"
Butler Zhou tried to catch the parrot, but it kept fluttering away.
