Chapter 63: Princess doesn’t need me anymore?
That night.
After nightfall, Ruan Yunsheng said to Zhishu, "You all should leave now. There's no need to serve us anymore."
When the maids' footsteps faded away, she was the only one left in the room.
Ruan Yunsheng took a bamboo pole, carefully picked up the rabbit lantern, and stretched it towards the highest branch of the tree in the yard.
This rabbit lantern was picked by her and Chuwu when they went out to play together.
As long as you hang this lantern on the highest treetop in Yuehua Courtyard before midnight, Chuwu will know that she has something important to discuss and will definitely come as promised.
The wind blew through the treetops, the rabbit lantern swayed gently, and the candlelight cast tiny shadows on the ground.
Ruan Yunsheng looked up for a moment, turned around and went back to the bedroom, picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup of tea.
Yuehua Courtyard has always been guarded by the palace's secret guards. When the guards saw the rabbit lantern, they immediately ran to report to the prince.
Xie Yan soon received the news that Shengsheng wanted to see him for something!
At the appointed time, Xie Yan changed his clothes, put on a mask, took the "Cicada Pill" that changed his voice, changed the incense, and climbed over the wall to Yuehua Courtyard.
Knowing that Ruan Yunsheng wanted him to send someone to find the whereabouts of his fourth brother Ruan Yunzhu, Xie Yan's heart tightened, "What's wrong with the princess? Is it because of her foot injury that hasn't healed yet?"
Ruan Yunsheng waved his hand casually, "What can happen to me? It's all because of that sickly guy Xie Yan. He's half-dead all day long. It's really annoying to look at him."
Xie Yan had clearly taken the Hanxiang Feiyuncao, but he still kept coughing up blood, and the group of quack doctors couldn't explain why.
I can only ask Fourth Brother to come back.
Xie Yan was stunned for a moment, and then a huge joy surged in his heart.
"Is it because of King Xuan that the princess is searching for the Fourth Young Master and returning to the capital?"
"Doesn't the princess really dislike King Xuan? Why are you so concerned about his injury?"
He was so happy that he was a little incoherent. Fortunately, Ruan Yunsheng was inexplicably guilty and didn't hear anything wrong with "the fifth day of the new year".
She cleared her throat and raised her voice, "Who said I was worried about him? He's staying in the mansion and won't leave. I hope Fourth Brother can quickly cure his illness and kick him out!"
Xie Yan couldn't help but smile, "If the princess hates King Xuan, she can send someone to drive him away now. I believe he wouldn't dare to stay here."
Ruan Yunsheng immediately raised her delicate chin and said arrogantly, "Of course he wouldn't dare!"
"But... Xie Yan was injured while trying to retrieve the Sun and Moon Jade Bi. This princess previously promised to let him stay at the Marquis' Mansion for a while if he retrieved the jade bi."
"This princess isn't the type to go back on her word, but who knew Xie Yan would actually come here with his luggage? It's obvious he's planning on staying here!"
She snorted softly, "Wait until Fourth Brother comes back and completely heals his injuries. Then this princess won't owe him anything and can drive him away openly!"
Xie Yan paused and asked carefully, "But what did Prince Xuan do wrong to cause the princess' displeasure?"
Ruan Yunsheng snorted proudly, "Xie Yan is the most annoying person! He doesn't do anything, but this princess gets annoyed just by seeing him!"
The smile in Xie Yan's eyes faded slightly, he sighed, and smiled bitterly: "So that's how it is."
Ruan Yunsheng nodded, "Yes, you know, this princess hates him the most!"
She began to list Xie Yan's faults one by one, and then said, "Also, when this princess met Su Muyan, he insisted on listening to music! I've never seen anyone as tactless as him!"
Now, the little smile on Xie Yan's face disappeared without a trace.
His voice was hoarse: "Princess..., do you like Master Su?"
Ruan Yunsheng frowned. How could she possibly like Su Muyan?
Su Muyan is good, but in her heart, Su Muyan is always the little brother who cried with red eyes because his beloved jade flute broke.
But this is her own business, there is no need to explain so much.
"This princess has something to say to Su Muyan, but Xie Yan always follows me around, so I don't have the chance to say what I want to say."
Xie Yan's eyes flickered. What did Shengsheng want to say to Su Muyan?
Could it be that Shengsheng really likes Su Muyan?
But how can Su Muyan be worthy of Shengsheng!
Ruan Yunsheng didn't want to talk about this and changed the topic. "I heard that Wuxin Pavilion is well-informed. Send more people to help me find out the whereabouts of Fourth Brother. Money is not a problem."
She sighed, "I don't know where Fourth Brother is. I'm afraid he's not in Sheng Country right now. It will be difficult to find Fourth Brother."
"However, Fourth Brother is very interested in various difficult and complicated diseases. The more incurable the disease is, the more interested he is. You can send someone to find out if there is anyone who was notoriously seriously ill and incurable, but suddenly recovered..."
Xie Yan was still in a daze.
What if Shengsheng really likes Su Muyan?
If he killed Su Muyan, Shengsheng would definitely be sad...
Seeing Chuwu in a daze, Ruan Yunsheng said dissatisfiedly, "Why are you in a daze? Did you hear what this princess said?"
Xie Yan came back to his senses and asked quickly, "What did the princess just say?"
Ruan Yunsheng repeated what he had just said.
He muttered unhappily, "Why do I feel like every one of you has become weird since you came back this time?"
Xie Yan quickly said, "Don't worry, Princess. I will definitely find the whereabouts of the Fourth Young Master as soon as possible."
Ruan Yunsheng nodded, "Okay, there's nothing else to do, you can go back."
Xie Yan felt quite regretful. He had just arrived for a while and had to leave without saying a few words.
Just as Xie Yan turned around, Ruan Yunsheng suddenly remembered something, "By the way, how did you know that I had sprained my ankle? I haven't told anyone about this."
She sprained her foot in the black market and was carried back by Xie Yan himself. It was Xie Yan who applied the medicine to her personally.
The medicine left by her fourth brother was extremely effective, and coupled with Xie Yan's meticulous massage technique, she was almost fully recovered the next day.
Even the third brother and the maid in her room didn’t know about this, so how did Chuwu know about it?
Xie Yan's Adam's apple rolled. He had been in such a hurry just now that he had forgotten about this matter.
He quickly found an excuse, "The day King Xuan sent people to search the Grand Marshal's Mansion, I learned that the princess was there, so I followed her to check on her. I noticed that the princess's walking posture was slightly abnormal, so I guessed that she might have sprained her ankle."
Ruan Yunsheng nodded slightly, "So that's how it is."
Chuwu has always been attentive. Ever since she saved him, Chuwu has been obedient to her and followed her every word. He said that people in the martial arts world are the most loyal and that the life-saving grace should be repaid with gratitude.
Unexpectedly, five years have passed, and Chuwu still remembers her life-saving grace.
Ruan Yunsheng felt a slight warmth in her heart, and she said gently, "This princess was inconsiderate before, and always troubled you with things. In fact, you should have your own life, and don't worry about me all the time. Besides, those guards in the Marquis' Mansion don't eat for free."
Xie Yan's heart sank, and he asked with difficulty: "Princess... don't you need me anymore?"
Shengsheng not only hates "Xie Yan", but now she doesn't even need "Chuwu" anymore.
Then, what chance will he have to get close to Shengsheng in the future?
