Chapter 1017 A World for Two
early morning.
For several days after the storm, the weather in Changqing City was good.
Early in the morning, Shi Yiru walked towards the study room covered in the morning glow.
Halfway through the journey, he saw several concubines from Prince Ning's mansion gathered near the pavilion. They were talking about something, and all of their pretty faces were filled with annoyance.
I just turned around and saw him.
"Shi Changshi."
When he heard their calls, Shi Yiru had no choice but to stop and walk over to greet them.
Shuli, one of them, looked at him and said with displeasure, "Shi Changshi, are you going to the study to see the prince again?"
"Yes."
"Is the prince so busy lately? He hasn't come to see me for several days. Could it be that he went to the East Courtyard?"
Just like the harem in the imperial palace is divided into the East Palace and the West Palace, Prince Ning also divided his own Prince Ning Mansion into the East Courtyard and the West Courtyard. In fact, he did not enthrone a queen, so it was of little significance.
However, only those who know what he is thinking will understand the significance of his actions.
In Prince Ning's Mansion, he imitated the emperor's style in some very subtle details. He had long had the idea of replacing him in that position.
However, he was busy with his work, while these women were still fighting over these trivial matters.
Facing them, Shi Yiru felt helpless.
You have to know that at this time, what Prince Ning did was a major event that affected the situation in the world, but these women only had in their minds whether he went to the East Courtyard or the West Courtyard, and whether he favored this one or that one.
But there is no way to say these words to these women.
He could only smile and say, "The prince is looking for someone recently, so he's quite busy."
"Looking for someone? Who? A woman?"
"Of course not."
"Hmph, that's good." Shuli said, and glanced at him again: "Have you found it? If you have, the prince should be relieved and let him come to my place and sit for a while."
Shi Yiru only smiled and perfunctorily said, "It will be soon. There will be news soon. When the time comes, I will definitely remind His Majesty to visit the West Courtyard more often."
"Well, that's good."
Shuli was satisfied, so she let him go and waved her hand, saying, "Go ahead."
Shi Yiru bowed to them, then left the pavilion and hurried to the study.
When Zhu Xuan saw him coming, he asked, "Any news?"
Shi Yiru said, "Your Highness, although we have sent out many people, there is still no news. After all, if we want to search outside the city, the area will be much larger than that within the city. It will take at least two days before there will be any definite news."
Zhu Xuan also knew that he was too anxious.
But at this time, he really can't relax too much. Zhu Feng's uncertain whereabouts are definitely a variable for him.
He couldn't let the variables become the tiny ant on his thousand-mile dike.
So he said, "Let them hurry up."
Shi Yiru said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. You know the importance of this matter. I have already asked them to report back any news of the search at any time."
"Um."
As the two were talking, a few people came in from outside to report.
Shi Yiru walked out, whispered a few words, and returned to the study.
Zhu Xuan looked at him: "Any news?"
Shi Yiru shook his head and said, "No news yet, but there is one thing that is a little strange."
"What's up?"
Shi Yiru said, "I have already instructed them to report back on time no matter where they go, so that they can keep informed of the situation. However, one group of people did not return on time."
"oh?"
Zhu Xuan raised his eyebrows slightly: "Where did they go?"
"We left the city and went to the fishing village east of the city, near the sea. However, this group of people has not returned yet."
Both of them were silent for a moment.
The east side of the city is close to the sea, and there are many scattered villages. Even if a lot of people are sent out, it is not an easy task to search the entire area.
However, as the chief historian of Prince Ning's Palace, Shi Yiru has always been very strict in his rule.
Let them come back on time, and they should come back on time.
Zhu Xuan thought for a moment and said, "Send more people to check it out. If there are no accidents, it's fine. But if there are any discoveries—"
Shi Yiru immediately said, "I understand."
Zhu Xuan nodded, and Shi Yiru immediately went down to pass on the order.

The same morning glow also appeared on the sea.
The large area of red light on the sea level was like a flame burning on the sea, shining brightly with most of the fiery red sky.
However, such beautiful scenery foreshadows the coming of a heavy rain.
Don’t go out when there is morning glow, but travel thousands of miles when there is evening glow.
These folk proverbs are widely circulated in the fishing village, and on this day, the village is filled with an ominous atmosphere.
Everyone knew that something had happened to Old Zhong's family. The night before, someone had seen the three of them leaving in a hurry. Although it was clear that someone was still in his house because they could still see lights flashing, no one knew who it was.
Because the door has never been opened.
No one dared to get close easily. After all, those ferocious-looking men had come to cause trouble for their family before and had never come out.
No one knows what happened inside.
The quiet room exudes a terrifying atmosphere of silence.
But the room was silent.
On the bed lay a woman with fair skin and beautiful features.
The sunlight shone in through the window and onto her face, creating a faint glow that added a sense of tranquility to her.
Beside the bed sat a tall man.
Zhu Feng has been guarding the bed all night.
After he left here, he rushed back overnight because he couldn't let it go. At this time, he was a little tired. He was supporting his forehead with one hand and taking a light sleep with his eyes closed.
This picture is both quiet and beautiful.
There was no sound in the room. Only if you listened very carefully could you hear their calm and long breathing, which rose and fell one after another, giving people a feeling of restraint.
Time seemed to stop at this moment.
But, time will never stop.
As the sunlight slowly moved with the passage of time and moved to Nan Yan's eyes, she finally gradually regained some consciousness and her eyebrows twitched slightly.
After a while, he opened his eyes.
His eyes still seemed a little confused.
Where is this?
What's going on with me?
She stared blankly at the old mosquito net above her head, and was about to be distracted when suddenly, she heard a steady breathing sound next to her ear, accompanied by a breath that made her feel very familiar.
Her heart suddenly skipped a beat.
The scene and the person she saw before she fell into coma suddenly appeared in her mind.
She turned her head and saw the familiar face right in front of her.
"ah……"
