Soon the guards pulled Wan Ge up. When they saw that she was still wearing the prince's clothes, they looked at each other and remained silent.
Then they threw the rope down again, and quickly pulled Yan Yunjing up as well.
Just then, a guard noticed something was wrong: "Your Highness, what happened to your hand?"
It was only then that Wan Ge realized that the other person's hand seemed to be dislocated, and she also remembered that the other person had taken off their clothes with one hand.
"What's wrong with you?" Wan Ge suddenly realized that the other person seemed to have been bumped.
"It's nothing serious, just a slight bump. I'll have the divine physician check His Majesty for injuries first, and then he can treat me."
Wan Ge quickly waved her hand. She was perfectly fine and of course she wouldn't let the divine doctor take her pulse. The divine doctor was most likely one of her people, and wouldn't he know her identity as soon as he took her pulse?
"No need, no need, I'm not injured. I'm just a little wet, I'll wipe it with hot water later. Please let the divine physician treat Your Highness. I'll head back now."
"Alright, I'll have Qingying take you to the Jade Dew Pool for a soak later."
"Then thank you very much, Your Majesty."
Yan Yun nodded in surprise and ordered one of the guards to take Wan Ge away.
…
After Wan Ge left, Yan Yun Jing's closest guard was somewhat puzzled: "Your Highness, how did you fall down? And you were injured."
Even if the prince himself knew about this mechanism, he could easily dodge it with his abilities, let alone with one person, or even with two people.
Even if he were to fall in accidentally, he could easily carry someone out with one hand using his light-footed skills. But the other person has stayed inside for so long without coming out. What exactly does Your Highness want to do?
Yan Yun gave him a look, and he immediately stopped asking questions. He then said, "I...I'll go and call the divine doctor over."
"No need." Yan Yunjing placed his uninjured hand on his shoulder, and the next second, with a snap, his dislocated hand was put back in place.
"I, too, wish to take a bath."
"I will arrange it right away."
…
Led by the guards, Wan Ge quickly arrived at the Jade Dew Pool that Yan Yun Jing had mentioned. She then discovered it was a hot spring pool.
At the same time, two maids stood to the side holding clothes, seemingly ready to help him bathe.
"Put your clothes down and leave. I don't like seeing other people while I'm bathing. Remember, don't let anyone in."
"It is Your Majesty."
Upon hearing what Wan Ge said, they quickly put down their clothes and went outside.
…
However, halfway through her bath, Wan Ge suddenly felt a pair of burning eyes.
When Wan Ge turned around, she saw Yan Yun Jing. She quickly retreated back into the water, using the flower petals as cover.
"Your Majesty...Brother, what are you doing here?"
Yan Yunjing walked to his side, her tone seemingly helpless: "It seems Qingying brought you to the wrong place. I forgot that he is new to the palace and not very familiar with it yet. He brought you to my Biyun Pond."
"What about those two maids just now..."
“I got wet too. Tell Eleven to prepare a bath for me. The clothes should be mine.” Yan Yun glanced at the clothes lying to the side.
“This…” Wan Ge didn’t know what to say, then looked at Yan Yun Jing and said, “Then may I go out first, Your Majesty? I’d like to borrow your clothes for a moment.”
Yan Yunjing did not leave, but went straight into the water.
"what you do!"
"We are both men, so it's alright for us to bathe together, right? The Jade Dew Pool is a bit far from here, and I don't want to go there."
"No...no...I'm not used to bathing with others."
Yan Yunjing moved closer to her: "Your Majesty, your face is so red, are you shy?"
"You'd better get out of here!"
Wan Ge pushed the other person away. Yan Yun was surprised to find that the other person seemed a little angry, so she stopped and said, "Okay, okay, don't be angry, I'll leave."
After Yan Yunjing finished speaking, he got up, picked up his coat from the side, and left.
Wan Ge immediately lost her appetite for soaking and quickly got up and put on the clothes next to her after the other person left.
Sure enough, the clothes were obviously a bit too big, which confirmed what Yan Yunjing had said: these clothes were prepared for him.
…
As Yan Yunjing headed towards the Jade Dew Pool, a guard beside her asked again, "Did Qingying take you to the wrong place? Should she be punished?"
He's not a newbie, how come he's not even familiar with the map of the Prince's Palace?
Yan Yunjing slightly raised an eyebrow and replied, "No need, just give him another fifty taels of gold."
"Why?" Could it be a bribe to save someone's life? Leading someone astray isn't a capital offense, is it? A proper punishment would suffice.
While Shiyi was still wondering whether he should plead for leniency, he heard Yan Yunjing's surprised reply: "A reward."
"Huh?" Eleven was a little confused. What kind of reward? There's a reward for leading people astray?
…
By the end of the hour of Chou (1-3 AM), Yan Yunjing finally fell asleep, his mind filled with the glimpse of himself at Biyun Pond before he drifted off.
The other person was soaking in the water, their flawless white back displayed right in front of me. Such a beautiful back, I wonder what it would feel like to kiss it.
He got so caught up in his thoughts that he couldn't stop himself, and it took him another half an hour to finally fall asleep.
The next day, Eleven looked at him blankly and threw away the freshly changed bedding.
"By the way, Your Highness, are you going to throw away that outer garment?" Although it doesn't look wet, the hem is dirty, and according to Your Highness's habits, it should be thrown away.
"Keep it, and don't let anyone touch it."
"Yes, I will give the order immediately. By the way, Commander Bao asked me to tell you that His Majesty has returned to the palace."
