Chapter 208 I’m the director!
Inside the Changfang Palace, He Zhiyu picked up the secret letter that had just been sent back from the table and glanced at it. After a moment, he lit the letter with a candle and watched the flame rising from the secret letter in his hand with half-closed eyes.
The scorching red was reflected in his pupils, like the scorching sun trapped in a black lake.
It looks warm, but I can't feel any warmth.
He Zhiyu threw the secret letter into the enamel brazier. Jing Yuan's expression changed slightly. "Your Highness, if the prince brings that person back this time, it will definitely be a great achievement. Your Highness was trying to please the emperor, but now, aren't you giving all the credit to Prince Jing?"
He Zhiyu looked at the burning candle flame, his eyes were icy cold, filled with frost and snow that had not melted for a thousand years. Where was his usual gentle look?
His fingers were long and well-defined, casually resting on the armrest. The coldness in his eyes spread, and he spoke slowly after a long while.
"Give him the credit? I'm afraid he may die even if he goes there."
A hint of sarcasm appeared on He Zhiyu's lips. "The show is about to begin."
Suddenly there was a knock on the door. "Your Highness, the Tenth Princess is here. She said she wants to see Your Highness for something important."
He Zhiyu was a little surprised. This imperial sister had never interacted with him. They had never spoken more than ten words to each other since childhood, but now she came to find him on her own initiative. It must be something important.
"Let her in."
A moment later, He Baozhu walked in.
"Baozhu has met my brother."
"What's the matter?" He Zhiyu asked in a lukewarm tone.
He Baozhu pursed her lips as if she was still thinking about how to start the conversation, but in the eyes of others, she seemed to be afraid to speak.
After all, in everyone's eyes, the Tenth Princess was not good at talking to people. She was timid and cowardly, and was the most inconspicuous person in a crowd.
Although he has been a little better since returning to Beijing, it is difficult to change one's temperament overnight.
"Brother, when I went to pay my respects to the Queen Mother just now, I saw Qian Miaoyun there."
He Zhiyu seemed puzzled, as Qian Miaoyun was the Queen Mother's niece.
Although Qian Miaoyun's mother and the queen were not born of the same mother, the queen always liked this well-behaved and lovable niece. So in the past, Qian Miaoyun often entered the palace and she saw her several times.
He Baozhu said, "I heard Qian Miaoyun and the Queen Mother talking about what happened in Tangquan Palace."
He Zhiyu's expression changed slightly.
"I don't know what happened in Tangquan Palace, but Qian Miaoyun said that Wanyan and Yihuan were disrespectful to the emperor and even quarreled with him. I don't think Wanyan is that kind of person. She has always been respectful and admired the emperor. There is no way she would do such a ridiculous thing."
He Zhiyu was silent. It was Yihuan who quarreled with him, not Wanyan. Qian Miaoyun's words were really nonsense.
He Baozhu added: "Qian Miaoyun should not have had much contact with Wanyan, but the implication of her words is that Wanyan is spoiled and willful. It may not be a big deal for her to marry an ordinary rich man, but if she marries a rich man, it will inevitably cause chaos in the backyard. I think there may be some misunderstanding between them. If she knew Wanyan better, she would definitely not say this."
He Baozhu murmured to herself, and then she continued, "I think Wanyan and my brother are the best match, but Qian Miaoyun said that Wanyan likes Divine Doctor Yun, and that they get along very well. She also wants the Queen to bring Wanyan and Divine Doctor Yun together."
He Zhiyu remained calm, but the gloom that flashed deep in his eyes was accurately detected by He Baozhu.
It's not what I saw, but I just felt inexplicably my legs were a little weak and I couldn't stand.
Jing Yuan listened to the Tenth Princess's chattering and really didn't understand what the Tenth Princess wanted to say to His Highness.
Are you here to gossip?
"Princess, what on earth do you want to see His Highness about?"
He Baozhu knocked his head with a cry, "It's all my fault. I don't know how to speak and I said nonsense when I was anxious! It was because my mother was suddenly unhappy and asked Qian Miaoyun to call Wanyan over. I was worried that Wanyan's injury hadn't healed yet and it would delay her recovery, so I thought of asking my brother to save Wanyan!"
He Zhiyu stood up and left without saying a word. Her mother had always wanted Wanyan to marry her and become the crown prince. Now that she heard Qian Miaoyun say that Wanyan and Yunheng were close, she would definitely be angry.
Qian Miaoyun is really outspoken.
When he reached the door, He Zhiyu suddenly stopped and looked back at He Baozhu.
He Baozhu was startled and stood still obediently.
"You like to make some strange little things now. If your monthly allowance is not enough, go to the East Palace to withdraw money."
He Baozhu was slightly stunned for a moment, then immediately smiled and said, "Thank you, my royal brother!"
Could it be that this guy was so generous just because he heard me say that Wan Yan was the best match for him?
Tsk tsk tsk, man.
Tsuru Chiyu Jingyuan left one after another. He Baozhu shook his head and sighed on the spot, then followed them.
How could she not go and watch such a great event?
She is a director!!!
Huaqing Palace
Qian Miaoyun was a step faster towards the Queen's bedroom, but was stopped by Ziyuan at the door.
"My young lady has just changed her medicine and is resting. Please don't disturb her. If you disturb my young lady, don't blame me for being rude."
Qian Miaoyun sneered, "What can you do to me? How dare a maid like you do anything to me?"
Zi Yuan said calmly: "Of course I dare not do any substantial harm to you, but my swearing is quite filthy, and I am sure you will not be able to help but teach me a lesson and hit me. If you hit me, my lady will have the opportunity to deal with you!"
Zi Yuan said, "If my young lady is delayed in recuperation because of you, my master will be the first to settle with your father!!!"
"Hey you!" Qian Miaoyun was speechless. She was so angry that she couldn't say a word.
Where did this arrogant little bitch come from? She is so lawless!
If Qiao Wanyan wasn't involved, Ziyuan could be considered an easy-going person. In the Qiao family, the servants, especially the maids in Yongning Pavilion, liked Ziyuan the most.
Just because of Zi Yuan's idle words, they can get a monthly salary increase.
"I came here on the orders of the Queen. The Queen has summoned Qiao Wanyan, how dare you stop her?"
Zi Yuan frowned slightly, and after a long moment, she said, "Wait a minute, I'll go and tell the young lady."
Qian Miaoyun snorted coldly and tried to force her way in without listening to her gesture, but was quickly stopped by Ziyuan.
An arm blocked Qian Miaoyun's way, but Qian Miaoyun didn't push away the arm that was stretched out to her.
"you!"
Zi Yuan said coldly: "Miss Qian, just wait here. It's not like you won't pass on the message."
Yun Heng walked out and said, "Keep your voice down, it will disturb Wan Yan's rest."
Qian Miaoyun was stunned for a moment. Yun, Yun Heng is here?
The maid just said that Qiao Wanyan was resting, right? Qiao Wanyan was resting and Yun Heng was in the room???
If the Queen knew that a man and a woman were alone together, would she still want to marry the Prince?
