Chapter 471
Just then, the bell downstairs rang slightly, and Jingyuan's voice came up: "Your Highness, your subordinate has brought you your meal."
Shen Rang got up and left.
The atmosphere in this room was precious, and he didn't want any other smells to mix in.
During the meal, Shen Rang asked about what had happened outside in the past two days.
Jing Yuan was silent for a moment: "...Commander Li personally escorted my aunt out of Luoyang, and she soon returned with Prince Huo."
"Young Master Huo is back?" Shen Rang's eyebrows twitched slightly.
Jing Yuan nodded.
Therefore, Huo Shu may have already met Yun Xi.
I wonder... if he discovered anything.
But it's too late to say anything now.
Shen Rang had once longed for Huo Shu to return to Luoyang as soon as possible, but now... it didn't matter anymore.
As for Li Ze...
"Please prepare the gifts and thank Commander Li on my behalf."
"yes."
"How are things going with Xi'er's adoptive parents?"
"...Lord Chen and Madam Chen came here for Young Master Duan. Now that they are here, Young Master Duan has left. Lord Chen was so angry that he cursed for half a day."
Speaking of Chen Zongwen, Jing Yuan couldn't help but shudder.
This was the first time he had ever seen a scholar curse so crudely.
Shen Rang shook his head: "In any case, take good care of them. After all, they are Xi'er's adoptive parents."
"Understood."
Shen Rang breathed a sigh of relief and then began to eat.
Shen Rang had a poor appetite and put down his food after a few bites. No matter how much Jing Yuan tried to persuade him, he refused to eat any more.
Helpless, Jingyuan could only say, "Then Your Highness, please rest well."
"No rush," Shen Rang said. "Has the Crown Prince made any moves?"
Although he didn't know why Shen Rang suddenly asked about the Crown Prince, Jing Yuan still answered truthfully: "His Highness the Crown Prince is still the same as before, with no unusual activity."
At least that's how it seems on the surface. As for whether there's anything amiss inside the Eastern Palace... that's beyond their knowledge.
Shen Rang nodded slightly and said nothing more.
He got up and left, then went back to his bedroom and fell asleep.
——
When he woke up, his arms felt empty, so he instinctively reached out to the side, only to grab nothing.
He suddenly opened his eyes, only then belatedly realizing that Yunxi had already left.
He sat up, pursed his lips, and turned to look at the sky outside.
It's completely black.
The room was quiet, as if he were the only person left in the world.
I wonder... how is she?
Meanwhile, Yunxi, whom Shen Rang was keeping an eye on, was being watched closely by Jixiang and Le'an. She was forced to drink a large bowl of dark medicine, and her face was all scrunched up.
Doctor Feng sat to the side, and only after seeing that she had finished drinking the medicine did he nod and leave.
Yunxi's complexion improved after taking the candied fruit from Duan Huaichuan and putting it in her mouth.
"How much longer do I need to take this medicine...?"
“It will take at least seven days,” Jixiang said. “Miss, please bear with it.”
Yunxi let out a long sigh.
What else could she do? So many eyes were on her.
