【080】Pretentious



Qingyu frowned and slapped Qingchen.

Qing Chen curled his lips in disdain: "I really don't know what's wrong with Brother Qi. He doesn't like any woman, but he has to like such a pretentious woman. Every time I see her, I want to go up and tear her hypocritical face apart."

"You are just boasting. I remember that when we were at Fengchi Villa, you were still thinking about the medicines you gave her!"

Qing Yu raised his eyebrows and looked at him with amusement.

But Qingchen rolled his eyes at him and said, "What do you know? If we cure that woman's illness sooner, she won't have to stay in our Fengwang Mansion. But now, without those four medicines, who knows how long this woman will stay!"

Qing Ye frowned slightly after hearing this, "She is the prince's savior after all, we should not go too far. The prince hasn't said anything yet, are we going too far by doing this behind her back?"

Qingchen curled his lips in disapproval. Although he was very dissatisfied and disdainful in his heart, he did not say any vicious words. In the end, he still listened to Qingye's words.

Several of them had other things to do, so they naturally had no time to waste on talking. After ordering their men to guard Youyue Lake, the four of them went to the study to discuss matters.

In Xia Garden, Du Juan had just stepped into the inner room when a beautiful woman in white came out to greet her. She subconsciously looked behind her, but did not see the person she expected. There was a hint of disappointment in her eyes.

Du Juan observed her expression and quickly comforted her softly, "Don't worry, young lady. The prince has been traveling day and night and is tired. He has already rested. When the prince wakes up, he will come to see you, young lady."

The woman in white had a slender figure, picturesque eyebrows and eyes, and an extraordinary temperament. She was obviously a stunning beauty, but there was a hint of sickness between her eyebrows, and her complexion was not as rosy as that of a normal person. It looked pale no matter how you looked at it, which immediately lowered her overall grade.

"Have you seen the prince?" The woman's voice was soft, as weak as a breeze.

"No, I only saw four guardians. However, judging from their dusty appearance, they obviously had not had time to change their clothes."

In other words, what the Dharma protectors said was true and they did not deceive her.

Xia Yunhe twisted the handkerchief in her hand and said with a melancholy face: "In this case, I won't bother you anymore. Du Juan, can you accompany me to the kitchen and make some snacks for the prince?"

Du Juan looked at Xia Yunhe hesitantly, wanting to say that the prince didn't like those desserts at all, and no matter how much you make, it would be a waste of effort. But, when the words came to her lips, seeing Xia Yunhe's look of being blown away by the wind, she finally sighed in her heart and thought, never mind, since the girl likes it, then just make it!

Before they even reached the kitchen, they saw the butler leading a beautiful lady in red towards Youyue Lake. Du Juan blurted out in surprise, "Huh? Isn't that Princess Hongyu?"

Xia Yunhe replied hesitantly, "Didn't they say that the prince had gone to bed?" Then what did it mean now? The princess could see him, but she couldn't?
