Wen Renyan waved his hand: "It's just a small matter, you don't have to take it to heart. The chaos outside has been brought under control and order has basically returned to normal. If you want to go out for a stroll and relax, I can accompany you."
"Today is too busy, let's do it tomorrow." Yun Yuan said, "Your Highness is very busy, so take a good rest. Seventeen will come to see you tomorrow."
Wen Renyan stared at Yun Yuan, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he nodded gently in response: "Okay."
Yun Yuan bowed to Wen Ren Yan and turned to leave, while Wen Ren Yan stood quietly there, watching her walk farther and farther away until she disappeared from his sight.
Wenren Yan went back to his room to rest. General Huoqi caught up with Yun Yuan and apologized for his indifference that day.
"I'm sorry, it's my fault for not watching you properly and letting you fall behind."
Yun Yuan shook her head slightly and smiled indifferently.
"It's none of your business. You warned us, but we ignored you and insisted on having our own way. I'm doing fine now, and I even met His Highness."
The General of the Cavalry looked at the man in front of him with sharp eyes and asked bluntly, "Do you like him?"
Yun Yuan was slightly stunned and said nothing.
Seeing this, the General of the Cavalry continued, "Everyone in the court knows that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has no intention of taking a wife or concubines. Your relationship is doomed to fail."
Yun Yuan bit her lip lightly, her eyelashes drooping slightly, and her voice was as soft as a mosquito's whisper: "I understand."
The General of the Cavalry advised earnestly: "Since this is the case, why not get out as soon as possible to avoid getting stuck deeper."
Yun Yuan raised her head, looked at the General with a determined gaze, and said slowly, "But I still want to give it a try. Perhaps a miracle will happen? Even if there is really no result in the end, I won't force anything."
After saying that, a relieved smile appeared on her face.
A wave of sadness welled up in the heart of the General of the Cavalry: "If he doesn't cherish you, come to me and I will marry you."
When Yun Yuan heard this, she took a step back in shock, her cheeks instantly flushed red, as tempting as a ripe apple.
The general looked at the woman in front of him quietly, and said in a low voice: "My name is Mu Chi. No matter when or where you need me, I can take you to Shengjing."
His tone was full of sincerity and determination, and it was impossible to ignore the affection contained in it.
Yun Yuan's lips trembled slightly as she avoided his fiery gaze: "But I only like His Highness."
"It doesn't matter." Mu Chi said, "As long as you are willing, I can give you long-term protection."
Sheng Wen, who was not far away, saw this scene. Greed and covetousness flashed in his eyes, and he secretly vowed to make Wenren Yan and the General of the Cavalry pay the price.
………………
The next day, Yun Yuan wore a rouge-colored dress, her black hair was like clouds, her skin was as white as snow, her lips were red and her teeth were white. Her every frown and smile was breathtaking.
Wen Ren Yan looked at her. At this moment, it seemed as if all the spiritual energy of heaven and earth fell on her. He couldn't take his eyes off her, and his heart beat faster.
Yun Yuan did not wear a veil today, and people on the street were staring at her. She calmly let them stare at her and went to the disaster relief site with Wen Renyan.
"There really are a hundred huts." Yun Yuan looked at the newly built huts in amazement and asked curiously, "They were built so quickly. Did they mobilize the people to help build them?"
"Yes, with a stable place to live, the people affected by the disaster won't have to wander around. There are doctors there who can provide free medical treatment."
When the management staff saw Wenren Yan, they hurried over to pay their respects, leading the refugees to kneel on the ground. Some of them had tears of gratitude in their eyes.
"Thank you, Grand Prince, for giving us a place to stay."
Wen Renyan asked everyone to stand up. "You should thank Yun Yuan, the young lady next to me. It was she who gave me advice."
Everyone looked up, all with expressions of amazement. Then, when they realized what was happening, they all knelt down to Yun Yuan.
"Thank you, Miss Yun!"
"Miss Yun is beautiful and kind-hearted. She is a fairy sent by God!"
Yun Yuan hurriedly said, "Please stand up quickly. I was just saying this casually. The implementation still depends on His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. He is kind and benevolent."
"The eldest prince is kind and compassionate."
After leaving the resettlement site, the two walked down the street.
Yun Yuan said, "It can be seen that although the conditions are simple, everyone is full of hope."
Wenren Yan: "Indeed, grain prices have dropped, and the dikes are being repaired in an orderly manner. At this rate, we will be able to return to Beijing soon."
——————————
After General Mu Chi led his troops away, the imperial guards took over all security work.
After a long journey of half a month, the emperor and his ministers finally arrived in Shengjing.
There were many things to deal with when they returned to the capital. Everyone in the court, including the emperor, was busy, but Wen Ren Ji stayed in his mansion and refused to go out.
His wound had been treated by the imperial physician and was now scabbed over. Sometimes when he went out of the house to do some business, he was sensitive to the fact that passersby would look at him strangely.
Wen Renji appeared not to care, but he tossed and turned and couldn't sleep at night.
Yun Shu was already Wen Renji's concubine, so naturally she also stayed in the mansion, but there were three maids sent by the emperor who took turns looking after her, so the two of them had never achieved anything in their lives.
Yunshu couldn't stand being stared at all day long.
"Could you guys please stop following me?"
"I can't." The nanny said, "I am acting on His Majesty's orders. Please don't embarrass me."
The word "tongfang" hit a sore spot for Yunshu: "Who's making things difficult for whom? You follow me to the toilet and stand at the head of my bed when I sleep. You've almost scared me to death when I woke up in the middle of the night several times."
"This servant doesn't want to do this either." The nanny said expressionlessly, "But His Majesty has instructed that Yun Tongfang is restless and has had an affair with a man outside her family before she even got married. She must be watched at all times and cannot sleep with the Second Prince for three months."
Yun Shu felt a surge of shame in his heart, and endured it, saying, "What on earth do you want to do?"
"Of course I'm worried you'll get pregnant with a bastard." The nanny said sarcastically, "Originally, this servant didn't want to say it, but Yun Tongfang insisted on doing so, so this servant has no choice but to tell you. Since she's the Second Prince's woman, Yun Tongfang should just behave herself."
Bastard, bastard, bastard! Yun Shu was going crazy. Wasn't this the same crime she had pinned on Yun Shu's child in her previous life? In this life, she was actually being scolded by a nanny pointing at her belly!
She said coldly, "Aren't you afraid that I'll get pregnant with your Highness's child if you speak to me like this?"
The maid sneered, "If you really have this blessing, I will come and apologize for my crime."
Yun Shu was filled with anger and wanted to complain to Wen Ren Ji, but the nanny wanted to go with her even at this time. She was afraid that the nanny would tell the emperor, so she held it back.
Life in the prince's mansion was depressing, and Yun Shu wanted Wen Renji to go out with her to play. However, Wen Renji didn't want to go out because he thought of the sympathetic and pitying looks from the crowd or the contemptuous and mocking looks from the crowd.
Yun Shu had no choice but to leave the house by herself, taking the nanny sent by the emperor with her.
