Chapter 40: Can this princess eat you?
Ruan Yunsheng drank the soothing flower tea and felt a little sleepy. "Okay, if you have nothing else, go back. This princess is sleepy."
Xie Yan came back to his senses, "Princess, is there anything else I can do for you?"
Ruan Yunsheng thought about it, then suddenly waved at him, "Come here."
Xie Yan's Adam's apple rolled and he took two steps forward.
Ruan Yunsheng, "Closer."
Xie Yan took another step forward.
He was now only three or four steps away from Ruan Yunsheng and could already smell her fragrance.
Shengsheng just yawned, and the corners of her eyes were faintly red, just like rouge that was accidentally smudged.
The girl, who is usually bright and proud, now reveals a rare bit of cuteness and innocence, and even the movement of her eyes is a little softer.
Xie Yan's gaze lingered on her face for a moment longer, his eyes darkened unconsciously, and his steps stopped where they were.
Ruan Yunsheng glared at him unhappily, "Come any closer, and I'll eat you."
She pointed to the spot in front of her and said, "Come here."
Xie Yan tried to calm his breathing and walked in front of Ruan Yunsheng.
Ruan Yunsheng was still dissatisfied, "It's too high."
Xie Yan lifted his skirt and knelt on one knee in front of her. He didn't dare look at her at all, and his voice was too hoarse: "Princess, what do you want?"
Ruan Yunsheng curled the corners of his lips slightly, "Come closer, I want you to do something important."
Xie Yan hummed and raised his chin slightly.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Ruan Yunsheng reached out without warning and quickly lifted the mask on Xie Yan's face!
The silver-white mask fell to the ground with a clang.
Xie Yan suddenly looked up and his eyes met Ruan Yunsheng's.
When Ruan Yunsheng saw his face clearly, he was immediately surprised.
"Your face..."
"Chuwu"'s face is covered with scars, and his original appearance is almost unrecognizable. It is shocking at first glance.
Ruan Yunsheng hurriedly looked away, not daring to look any longer.
Xie Yan hid the panic in his eyes and lowered his eyes and said, "He was retaliated by his enemies, so he was disfigured."
Ruan Yunsheng rarely felt a trace of guilt in his heart.
It’s not that she doesn’t trust Chuwu, but everyone has changed in the past five years, so she has to be careful.
She bent down, picked up the mask and handed it to Chuwu, "I'm sorry, I didn't know you were so badly disfigured..."
Xie Yan took the mask and put it back on. "I should apologize to the princess. It's all my fault for scaring her."
He stood up hesitantly and said, "If the princess has no other instructions, I will leave first."
Ruan Yunsheng nodded, but when Xie Yan approached the window, he called him again.
"Since I'm here, why don't you take me somewhere?"
Xie Yan turned around and asked, "Where do you want to go, Princess?"
Ruan Yunsheng, "Prince Xuan's Mansion."
I don’t know what will happen when I go to the Taiwei Mansion tomorrow, so it’s always good to have multiple safeguards.
Anyway, she has the Hanxiang Feiyun Grass that Xie Yan needs, so he shouldn't dare to refuse.
Moreover, if General Sun falls, it will also be beneficial to Xie Yan.
Hearing the words "Prince Xuan's Mansion", Xie Yan started coughing desperately!
He coughed and said, "Princess...looking for Prince Xuan...cough cough cough...is there something?"
Ruan Yunsheng frowned and looked at him, "How come you two all got a cough?"
If she hadn't just taken off the mask of "Chuwu", for a moment, she even suspected that he and Chuqi... or even Xie Yan, were the same person.
They were all about the same height and build, and they all coughed constantly.
But of course this is impossible.
They have different personalities, smell different, and have different voices.
More importantly, that old-fashioned Xie Yan only causes her trouble and never says anything she wants to hear!
Xie Yan stopped coughing and said in a hoarse voice, "I went astray from my training. I'll be fine in a few days. It's so late, does the princess want to see the King?"
Xie Yan's heart was pounding so hard it almost jumped out of his chest!
What does Shengsheng want him to do?
Is there something you want to say to him?
If I had known that he would not come tonight, I should have stayed in the house and waited for her.
No... If he had known earlier, he should have taken the initiative to visit. How could he let Shengsheng go to the palace to find him so late?
What now?
If he refused to take Shengsheng to the palace, Shengsheng would definitely be angry.
But if he took Shengsheng to Prince Xuan's mansion... the problem is that Prince Xuan is not in the mansion at all!
It's so cold, and he made Shengsheng run all the way here for nothing. How can he have the nerve to do that?
Just when Xie Yan was at his wit's end, Ruan Yunsheng heard him say that he had gone astray in his practice. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Forget it, let's not bother. Tomorrow morning, let my third brother send someone over to tell him."
Xie Yan breathed a sigh of relief, "Then Princess, please rest early. I'll be leaving first."

The next day.
Ruan Yunsheng and Ruan Yunbo arrived at the Taiwei Mansion and were led to the living room by the steward of the Taiwei Mansion.
After entering the vermilion lacquer gate, Ruan Yunsheng silently looked around the mansion.
The entire mansion was magnificent, but what surprised her was that there was a secret plan of the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams hidden inside the mansion. Even the cold-resistant pines and cypresses in the courtyard seemed to be planted according to certain directions, giving it a somewhat eerie look.
Ruan Yunsheng carefully examined the layout, frowned slightly, and followed his brother into the front hall.
General Sun, who sat in the main seat, looked old, with gray hair on his temples. There was a smile in the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, but his gaze was deep and unfathomable.
Ruan Yunbo bowed and said, "Your Excellency, I accidentally pushed Miss Sun Er into the lotus pond yesterday. I have come here today to apologize."
He signaled the servants behind him to put down a box of treasures and took out a bottle of elixir.
"I wonder how Miss Sun is doing? These treasures are all considered as apology from the Marquisate. And this bottle of medicine was sent back to the Marquisate by my fourth brother last year. It is very effective in treating colds."
Taiwei Sun waved his hand and said with a smile, "The Princess and the Third Young Master are too polite. I've heard about what happened yesterday. It was just a little accident while the girls were playing. It's nothing serious."
Ruan Yunbo didn't expect that General Sun seemed so polite and had no intention of pursuing responsibility.
He glanced at Ruan Yunsheng, his eyes filled with inquiry.
Did my sister guess wrong?
Just then, a maid from the inner courtyard entered and said respectfully, "Master, the Second Young Miss has a persistent fever and can't even take medicine. Madam is so worried that she has to stay by her side." She glanced at Ruan Yunsheng and added, "Madam learned that the Princess was coming, but was unable to come to greet her. It's truly neglectful of you, so she sent this servant to inform you."
Ruan Yunsheng curved his lips slightly and said, "Master Taiwei, why don't you let me go see Miss Sun Er and give her this medicine."
Sun Taiwei said quickly, "Then I'll trouble you, Princess."
"It's not a problem." Ruan Yunsheng gave his third brother a reassuring look and followed the nanny out of the living room.
Ruan Yunbo looked at her sister's back as she left, with a hint of worry in her eyes.
Sun Taiwei said with a smile: "My daughter and the princess have known each other for a long time. From now on, we should just be friends and visit each other more often."
"Third Master, please have some tea."
Ruan Yunbo withdrew his gaze, suppressed his worries, and raised the teacup politely.
Ruan Yunsheng followed the nanny out of the front yard.
Unexpectedly, not long after she walked past the Chuihua Gate, she saw Sun Manying, who was "running a high fever", and her men blocking her way!
