Chapter 491 The Princess Consort feels that she doesn't need to be glued to you lately (Fourth update)
Yan Ruyu was immediately furious. She stood up abruptly and glared at him fiercely: "You're the strange one. You have no manners at all. As the eldest disciple, you're such a petty and stingy man."
Xiao Tang was unaware that the two were arguing loudly.
Upon returning to the courtyard, Xiao Tang was informed by the system: [Congratulations, host, for completing the assault mission and saving lives. You have earned 1000 points. Your current points are...]
It's over...
Why do my points seem to be constantly increasing?
Xiao Tang rubbed his forehead, feeling a headache coming on.
[Host, as a person, you have to face reality.]
[Shut up!]
We must also recognize reality.
What kind of reality is she trying to understand?
It sounds weird no matter how you look at it.
With the selection of disciples completed and Xue Furong dealt with, the group descended the mountain the following day and headed to the capital.
This time, the sect leader himself did not go to lead the team, leaving his eldest disciple, Gu Hanxin, to take full responsibility.
Xiao Tang also wanted to have company, so that Yan Ruyu would accompany him and have someone to talk to on the road.
As luck would have it, Gu Hanxin was riding alongside her carriage the whole time.
He walked alongside Yan Shi.
The scene looked exactly like a deliberate escort of Xiao Tang's carriage.
Yan Ruyu glanced at Gu Hanxin outside, who looked like a loyal dog, and spat out a curse: "Sister Tang, why did you let this person follow the carriage around?"
This person?
Xiao Tang then noticed Gu Hanxin outside the carriage.
"You mean this eldest disciple? Shouldn't you call him Senior Brother?"
"Him? Senior Brother? Bah!" Yan Ruyu immediately spat, "He doesn't deserve it."
The sound was perhaps too loud, for Gu Hanxin, who was outside the carriage, heard it.
He turned his head and glared disapprovingly at the people inside the carriage.
Unfortunately, a carriage curtain blocked the view.
He couldn't see through it no matter how hard he tried.
Xiao Tang felt that the two were sworn enemies.
She said to Yan Ruyu, "Don't be so stingy. Anyway, we adults are magnanimous. You even bandaged his wound yesterday."
Yan Ruyu muttered under her breath, "It's all because you made me bandage it up."
Otherwise, she wouldn't do it even if that thing rotted in her yard.
Listen to this.
The woman's reluctant demeanor was... a bit off.
Xiao Tang, of course, couldn't continue discussing this matter, so he simply patted her shoulder lightly and said, "Alright, it's nothing."
"We're heading back to the capital soon. Would you like to wander around the city? If you'd like, I'll accompany you."
Xiao Tang's suggestion caused a ripple to appear in Yan Ruyu's eyes.
However, recalling what she had experienced before, she shook her head.
Especially that scumbag Prince Yu.
What terrible luck she has to run into all this trash.
There are all kinds of scumbags out there.
Seeing her eyes suddenly dim, Xiao Tang could only say softly, "Alright, then let it go."
She knew this girl had a knot in her heart.
Upon arriving in the capital, Xiao Tang and the others settled in. Instead of immediately returning to the Regent's Palace, she stayed with the other disciples of Shensuan Mountain.
This gesture surprised and flattered everyone.
Yan Ruyu brought a plate of fruit into the room and asked her, "Aren't you going back to the Prince's mansion to rest tonight?"
"I won't reply."
Xiao Tang refused without hesitation, "You don't understand. My husband is very busy. I'd better not disturb him, lest I be criticized by those officials again."
The subtext of Yan Ruyu's words seemed to be: I don't want to go back and be affectionate with my prince, I just want some peace and quiet.
She gently shook her head, banishing these absurd thoughts.
The two are so inseparable that it's impossible for Xiao Tang to have any peace and quiet.
"I see. Then I'll go back to my room. The fruit you requested is here." He then left.
Watching Yan Ruyu leave, Xiao Tang peeled a longan and popped it into her mouth.
Chewing, I wondered what the main villain was doing at that moment.
Now that she was in the capital, she could clearly sense Di Jingling's movements through that talisman.
If only we could keep the main villain from hearing our inner thoughts for a while.
Then she must sneak up on the main villain and launch a surprise attack.
Look at what the main villain does when she's not around!
...
The Regent's Palace.
Emperor Jingling had already learned of Xiao Tang's return to the capital immediately.
Especially when Yan Jiu told him the princess's exact words, he snapped the wolf-hair brush in his hand.
Yan Jiu, under pressure, explained helplessly: "The princess feels that the prince has been very busy lately, and since they used to be inseparable, he will not be returning to the palace to rest for the time being."
"The princess also said that she plans to return to the manor to meet you after the metaphysics conference."
"Your Highness, the Princess Consort is not wrong...after all..."
"After all what?" Di Jingling interrupted him impatiently.
The threat in that voice was obvious even to a fool.
Yan Jiu knew that if he dared to say what came after "after all," he would die here today.
Swallowing hard, he could only weakly say, "No, it's nothing. Your Highness, please take care of these court matters."
Di Jingling frowned.
Yan Jiu further explained, "After all, the Princess Consort is in the capital, right under your nose. How could anything possibly happen to her?"
He felt that what he said made sense.
But the prince doesn't think so.
The man didn't think so. After all, even though she was right in front of him, she wasn't in his arms, so he always felt like something was missing.
