On the surface, Fu Bao Lou belongs to Chen Wanfu.
Therefore, many people in the capital did not know that the owner behind Fubaolou was Prince Gong's Mansion, let alone Qiu Nanyan, who had just come from Baiyou Valley.
"How can you say you don't know her? Didn't Your Highness and I just meet yesterday?"
Su Wanyan gestured to Chen Wanfu, who understood and respectfully withdrew.
"What do you want to do?" Su Wanyan asked bluntly.
Qiu Nanyan smiled and said, "Your Highness, there's no need to be so alarmed. I just wanted to have a chat with you."
Before Su Wanyan could speak, she smiled and curtsied: "Yesterday I was impetuous and offended Your Highness. Today I apologize to Your Highness. I wonder if Your Highness would do me the honor of coming to my room for a chat."
She saw Su Wanyan on the third floor the moment she entered Fubaolou, and was waiting for her.
"..."
"Doesn't Your Highness want to know how I met the Prince?" Qiu Nanyan asked, throwing out a tempting offer.
Su Wanyan laughed upon hearing this: "I was initially going to agree to chat with you because of your good attitude, but if you put it this way, I'm really not interested."
After saying that, she walked past Qiu Nanyan and into the corridor.
Qiu Nanyan frowned slightly, then relaxed, and followed behind Su Wanyan nonchalantly: "Are you scared? Afraid that my past entanglements with the prince will affect your relationship?"
"..." Something's wrong.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Qiu Nanyan's eyebrows furrowed with smugness: "How long have you known the prince? Do you know that when I met him, he wasn't even twenty yet, much older than you? He would have chased after you, but..."
Su Wanyan opened the door to Room Number One and went inside. Just as Qiu Nanyan was about to follow her in, she slammed the door shut, cutting off Qiu Nanyan's conversation with her.
Qiu Nanyan choked on her words, her expression immediately turning angry.
She's only doing this because she has Yu Nanqing backing her up; otherwise, how dare she treat her like this?
She glanced at the room number and her face instantly darkened. Wasn't the number one room already booked?
Is Su Wanyan the one who was assigned to room number one in the Heavenly Palace?
Her brows furrowed. She had clearly said last night that she wanted the top-tier room, and Su Wanyan had only arrived today. Why was she taking it from her?
After thinking it over, he suddenly condensed a surge of internal energy in his palm and blasted it directly into the room, trying to force the door open.
However, the moment the palm struck the door, the door suddenly opened by itself.
Immediately afterwards, his wrist was seized by a force, and the palm strike that had been unleashed vanished instantly.
Xiao Bu stood expressionless in front of Qiu Nanyan, gradually tightening his grip on her wrist, and said coldly with a deep gaze, "This is the capital city, Miss Qiu, you'd better watch your words and actions."
Qiu Nanyan secretly channeled her inner strength to resist, and laughed, "Does your empress only know how to hide behind you like a quail? She really is acting like a pampered young lady."
"Take a small step," Su Wanyan's voice rang out.
Xiao Bu then let go of her hand.
Qiu Nanyan smiled with satisfaction and entered the room on her own without asking for permission, sitting down opposite Su Wanyan.
She poured herself a cup of tea, showing no sign of politeness, and said with a meaningful smile, "The prince once saved my life, did he ever tell you?"
She looked up, observing Su Wanyan's expression.
But Su Wanyan's expression was indifferent, and there was a hint of boredom in her indifference.
Now she had no choice but to listen, whether she wanted to or not. Su Wanyan sighed inwardly, lifted her skirt, crossed her legs, and listlessly rested her chin on her hand: "Just say what you want to say. I'll listen and see what kind of nonsense you can come up with."
"Nonsense?" A hint of displeasure flashed in Qiu Nanyan's eyes, but she quickly concealed it. "Never mind, you wouldn't understand what's between me and the Prince."
She gently covered her chest, as if recalling the warmth of that time: "Back then, I was being chased by my enemies, and it was a prince who was passing by on his march who saved me. At that time, the prince was only twenty years old. You have never seen him, so you would never understand how heroic he was back then."
"At such a young age, he was already a formidable striker. Back then, he wasn't so unpredictable and was very gentle with me. He even came to check on my injuries from time to time."
At this point, she suddenly looked up at Su Wanyan: "Your Highness, don't you think the Prince's treatment of me is not without ulterior motives? You appeared halfway through, taking advantage of my vulnerability. How is this any different from the actions of those treacherous villains?"
"Boring," Su Wanyan said calmly.
Qiu Nanyan's heart skipped a beat, and her face changed: "What did you say?"
Su Wanyan found it amusing: "What kind of liking is this?"
"The Prince doesn't treat everyone this way. He's never had any maids by his side, nor has he ever shown any interest in any woman. I... am the first." Qiu Nanyan said decisively, "What else could this be but love? Su Wanyan, why won't you admit that you stole his love?"
"Let me ask you a question." Su Wanyan looked directly into her eyes: "Where were you during the three years Yu Nanqing was paralyzed?"
Upon hearing this, Qiu Nanyan's expression froze, and a fleeting look of guilt flashed in her eyes.
She pursed her lips and said, "Three years ago, when I learned that he had been defeated and paralyzed, I was extremely anxious. I rushed to the hospital with my senior brother to treat him, but we found that he had no sensation in his lower body. No matter what we did, he did not respond at all. It was really... beyond medical help."
At this point, she hurriedly explained, "There are some illnesses that are simply beyond our control. Even though I come from the Valley of a Hundred Netherworlds, I am still just a mortal. We have already done our best!"
Later, she heard that Yu Nanqing's personality had changed drastically after returning to the capital. He not only killed all the maids in his mansion, but also forbade anyone to approach him, and was tyrannical and cruel all day long.
She thought Yu Nanqing would continue like this, but unexpectedly, Yu Nanqing was cured by someone!
So, she had hope again.
A man like Yu Nanqing naturally deserves a woman like her to stand beside him. Su Wanyan, what right does she have?
"Are you done talking?" Su Wanyan asked indifferently, her expression completely calm.
Qiu Nanyan frowned. What was her reaction?
Why don't you care at all?
"Now that you've finished talking," Su Wanyan gestured with her chin toward the door, "the door's over there, go ahead and leave, I won't see you off."
"You!" Qiu Nanyan finally broke down, slamming her hand on the table with a "bang": "What kind of attitude is this!"
Then, as if realizing something, she suddenly grinned maliciously, as if she had seen through everything: "I understand! You don't like the prince at all. You're just using him. You're after his status and position, Su Wanyan! You despicable scoundrel!"
Su Wanyan was speechless. Looking at Qiu Nanyan, who could no longer maintain her composure, she was in a good mood: "Miss Qiu, I don't know what you want to hear from me or what you want to see on my face, but I don't mind telling you that from the time I met Yu Nanqing until now, I have never heard Yu Nanqing mention anything about you, not a single word."
