"Fu Huaichu?" The leading man pondered, then clapped his hands, "Yes, yes, that's him, I remember it very clearly! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he is a brilliant man!"

"Everyone knew the Crown Prince at that time. It was said that when he was seven years old, he could write a policy on state governance that impressed all the talented people in the world. When he was nine years old, he could put forward many suggestions for the flood in the south of the Yangtze River. When he was less than ten years old, many of his suggestions were adopted by the ministers of disaster relief."

…

Su Zhiruan wanted to laugh, so she pretended to drink water and saw Fu Huaichu's eyebrows twitch. Then he also picked up the teacup.

"Brother Erniu, it turns out that the Crown Prince is so talented, a genius from heaven." Su Zhiruan leaned over and deliberately asked him, "It is really a blessing for our dynasty, what do you think?"

"Ruan Ruan likes the prince?" Fu Huaichu didn't look flustered at all. He smiled, his eyes deep, and pulled Su Zhi Ruan over from her seat. He said in a low voice, "If you like someone else, I will be jealous, and I can't guarantee what I will do then."

As he spoke, his hands moved a little too much and hooked her waist along her skirt.

Su Zhiruan quickly dodged and held his hand, "Brother Erniu, how can someone be so jealous so obviously?"

"If I don't tell you, maybe my Ruan Ruan will be fascinated by other people's heroic deeds." Fu Huaichu smiled and spread his hands. "If that's the case, then I can only work harder and work harder at night."

Su Zhiruan gave him a look, but this look was not intimidating at all, and even looked cute.

Fu Huaichu was a man who was even jealous of himself. No one knew what he was thinking when he asked her calmly who she liked more.

She was now looking forward to Fu Huaichu revealing that he was the prince.

The waiter brought the dishes. Su Zhiruan and Fu Huaichu stopped making trouble and started to taste the food.

This restaurant is famous for a reason, the food tastes really good.

The meals of the four men next to them also came up. As they drank and ate, the topic turned to another one.

After eating, Su Zhiruan paid the bill and walked out the door with Fu Huaichu as the waiter said goodbye.

Afterwards, they went shopping some more and bought some daily necessities and some new clothes.

After playing for a whole day, Su Zhiruan and Fu Huaichu returned to the small courtyard with large and small bags.

…

Over the next five days, their lives gradually returned to normal. During the day, Su Zhiruan still went out to look after the crops and herbs. Fu Huaichu didn't know how to farm, but with the guidance of the uncles in Sujia Village and the influence of Su Zhiruan, he was able to do some simple things. As for three meals a day, Fu Huaichu still prepared them.

If she hadn't always remembered that Fu Huaichu was the Crown Prince, perhaps after spending so much time together, she would have subconsciously thought that they had been together for a long time.

On this day.

Su Zhiruan thought of an important time point in the original plot.

Today is the tenth day before Fu Huaichu’s departure in the original plot.

In other words, if the plot had not been changed, the prefect would have found Fu Huaichu ten days later and taken him back to the capital.

Su Zhiruan was holding farm tools and standing in a secluded place. Soon, she heard the sound of two people talking in the yard.

One of them was very familiar, Fu Huaichu.

In the yard at this time.

"You're here?" Fu Huaichu said indifferently, but his tone was not as gentle as when he spoke to Su Zhiruan. Instead, it was filled with a hint of majesty, as if he was telling the secret guard his true identity. "You just came now, I don't know whether to say you are fast or slow."

"Your Highness, please forgive me. I have not done my job well. Please deal with me as you wish." In the yard, the subordinate in black clothes saw that Fu Huaichu seemed a little dissatisfied, so he immediately knelt down and saluted.

The yard was not big, and his kneeling action pressed down the herbs planted by Su Zhiruan.

Fu Huaichu was silent, his eyes darkened, "You, suppressed it."

The subordinate raised his blank eyes and looked at Fu Huaichu, "Ah? Your Highness, what did you say?"

"Get up."

Fu Huaichu's eyes were sharp. He stepped forward and asked his subordinates to step aside.

Then, in the shocked eyes of his subordinates, he picked up the crushed herb and restored it to its original state.

In the eyes of his subordinates, Fu Huaichu's action was no less surprising than his sudden change of vegetarianism and Buddhist practice.

It was just a herb, but their Crown Prince, who used to be so decisive in killing people, actually took such good care of it.

It's really unbelievable.

"If it happens again, you will be punished yourself." Fu Huaichu said in a light tone.

Su Zhiruan couldn't hear anything at the door, so she moved closer to the corner and prepared to continue listening.

"Your Highness, the prefect, the governor, and the minister are all here. We caused Your Highness to be seriously injured. We have committed a capital crime, which is unforgivable. But we beg Your Highness to return to the palace as soon as possible and meet the Emperor and Empress as soon as possible." The subordinate changed his position and continued to kneel. "After the assassination attempt that day, His Majesty was furious and sent out the entire secret guard group to wipe out the assassin gang. But you disappeared that day, and the Empress fainted from crying. The Third Prince was worried about you and looked for you many times."

"Return to the palace?" Fu Huaichu read these two words. He spoke very slowly and his tone could not be heard.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"Your Highness, we can set off immediately. Please follow me." The subordinate stood up and handed him the token. "This is your jade pendant. If it weren't for this jade pendant, we might still not be able to find Your Highness."

"I have something else to do," Fu Huaichu said nothing and accepted the jade pendant. "Come back in ten days. After ten days, we will set off for Beijing."

"Yes." Although the secret guard didn't know why he needed ten days, as long as he could find the prince, it would be a good thing.

Soon, silence returned to the yard.

Su Zhiruan had the answer in his heart.

Sure enough, when it comes to leaving the capital, Fu Huaichu's choice is the same as in the original plot.

The same ten days later.

She left quietly, without leaving any trace.

At this time, in the small courtyard.

Fu Huaichu looked at the herbs on the ground that he had just restored, his eyes deep, and he fell into deep thought.

This was the first time he didn't want to return to the palace.

Maybe he is sick.

The yard was silent, with only the leaves falling from the trees.

Soon, it will be the next season.

* When Su Zhiruan returned home, she was greeted by a delicious lunch.

"Ruan Ruan, go wash your hands and get ready for dinner." Fu Huaichu smiled and brought out lunch.

"Today's food smells so good! I smelled it when I was at the door. Are we eating meat?" After washing her hands, she moved closer to Fu Huaichu.

The two of them had a tacit understanding and changed the topic.

Fu Huaichu did not reveal his true identity, and even if Su Zhiruan heard it, she would not take the initiative to show it.

Soon, Fu Huaichu will return to the East Palace and become the supreme Crown Prince. (End of this chapter)
