When Lan Shuang handed the empty bowl to the maid, the expression on the maid's face could only be described as seeing a ghost.
Lan Shuang couldn't help laughing: "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Seeing that she seemed to be in a good mood, the maid boldly said, "Didn't the Saint always dislike taking medicine? She said it was too bitter and refused to drink it without candied fruit. Why is it that today..."
Lan Shuang laughed: "Things are different now. I can't be willful anymore."
After she finished speaking, she wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, didn't ask for candied fruit, and lay down directly. "If there's nothing else, go back and rest. I don't need to watch over here."
With Xiao Baba as a plug-in, there is no need to worry about her having a high fever and passing out in the middle of the night.
"yes."
The maid came forward to help Lan Shuang put up the bed curtains, then left with the bowl in her hand.
Before leaving, she was still thinking about the meaning of Lan Shuang's words. Later, she thought that maybe the saint was doing this because she was going to get married and couldn't be willful in her husband's family?
But it’s still better to be a saint like this now. She seems to be more popular. She was always cold before. Although she never made things difficult for them, she could hardly say a word to them all day long and was not easy to get close to.
Little did she know that the original saint had already passed away.
…
That night, Lan Shuang fell into a deep sleep after taking the medicine. She broke out in a sweat in her sleep. When she woke up naturally, her fever had almost subsided.
She opened her eyes and looked at the bed curtains. It took her a while to remember her current identity. She had lived too long in her previous life, and she almost blurted out her name as Los.
"Host, wake up!"
888 greeted her with full energy.
Lan Shuang pinched her eyebrows and said, "Yeah, I'm awake."
"Your illness is almost cured. I helped you adjust it in the middle of the night. Are you feeling better now?"
Lan Shuang raised an eyebrow, got out of bed and stretched. "I was wondering why this medicine was so effective. It turns out it was sponsored by Xiao Baba. Thank you."
"You're welcome!"
"By the way, what is Lan Ye doing? What was his reaction after he returned home last night?"
Lan Shuang asked casually.
888: "Not asleep, I don't know what I'm doing, writing or drawing."
"Oh." Lan Shuang didn't take it seriously. The maid outside heard the noise and came in to help her wash and change clothes.
During breakfast, Lan Ye came to take a look and saw that Lan Shuang was in much better spirits. Without saying much, he turned around and left.
Lan Shuang: “…”
This person is most likely suffering from a serious illness. If he doesn't want to use his mouth, he can donate it to someone in need.
For the next two days, Lan Shuang was nowhere to be seen. Lan Ye was busy with something and came back late every day.
But Lan Shuang didn't care. She knew with her toes that they were either figuring out how to rebel or which prince to harm.
This is his business, she will not interfere. Her goal is just to help the female supporting role achieve her wish and by the way... find her "boyfriend".
"Alas, I don't know what he is doing now."
Lan Shuang muttered something before falling asleep at night.
…
That night, the Fifth Prince's Mansion was brightly lit, and maids in pink were hurried in and out carrying trays.
Before Xin Wujiang even got close to the main hall, he heard a loud laugh from inside: "Hahahahahahahaha—you're quite something, cockfighting and visiting brothels. You've learned all this after a trip to Jiangnan, right? Aren't you afraid your dad will break your legs?"
This was the voice of the fifth prince Bu Qianzhong. His uninhibited laughter was in stark contrast to his usual timid appearance.
Xin Wujiang frowned slightly and slowed down involuntarily.
"What are you afraid of? My father only knows my eldest brother. He doesn't care about me at all. No matter how I mess around, I just need to come back and get married. Anyway, I'm just a loser. I have my eldest brother to support me. As long as I don't commit suicide or rebel, what's wrong with being an idle playboy?"
Xin Wujiang's eyes suddenly became sharp, a sneer appeared on his lips, and he strode into the main hall, "So that's what you think, Xin Wubian. I haven't seen you for three years, and you're still so useless."
His voice was cold and stern, and it frightened everyone in the main hall who were laughing and making noise, and they froze in place and fell silent at the same time.
Even the musicians who were playing the piano and singing noticed something was wrong and stopped what they were doing.
The dancer was stunned and stood there, not knowing what to do.
The Fifth Prince was sitting in the main seat, about to drink. Upon hearing this, his eyes flickered, and he slowly drank the wine in his glass. He stood up with a hearty laugh and greeted him enthusiastically: "Wujiang! You're finally here! If you don't come soon, we'll all be gone!"
Xin Wujiang was dressed in a black robe, which made him look tall and strong. He was majestic even without being angry when he stood there. With a glance of his phoenix eyes, no one in the group of playboys dared to look him in the eye.
Especially his good-for-nothing brother, who wanted to bury his head in his crotch.
Xin Wujiang's eyes, as if real, swept over his head, and he immediately trembled three times.
"Heh." Xin Wujiang sneered, then saluted the Fifth Prince with a fist clasp: "I greet His Highness the Fifth Prince. Your Highness, it's late, I will come to take Wubian home."
"Brother..." Xin Wubian pulled his head out and glanced at Xin Wujiang carefully.
Xin Wujiang: "Hmm?"
Xin Wubian immediately stood up and rushed to Xin Wujiang's side in two steps. He bowed to the Fifth Prince with a drooping voice: "Your Highness, I bid you farewell."
The fifth prince hurriedly advised, "Hey—Wujiang finally came back, why don't you all get together and spend some time together? Don't be so anxious to leave!"
Xin Wujiang raised his eyes and met the Fifth Prince's gaze. The Fifth Prince did not shy away. As their eyes met, the Fifth Prince said in a compromising tone, "Alright, I know your family rules are very strict, so I'll see you off."
As he said this he made a "please" gesture.
Xin Wujiang didn't want to offend him in front of so many people, so he said, "Thank you, Your Highness."
The fifth prince smiled and walked out first.
Lanterns were hung everywhere in the Fifth Prince's mansion, so even in secluded places it didn't seem dark.
The three people in the group had different thoughts, no one spoke, and the atmosphere was so strange that it was stagnant.
Seeing the road out of the palace in front of him, the fifth prince stopped and said without turning his head: "Wujiang, it's been a long time since we last met. You and I feel quite unfamiliar."
Xin Wujiang lowered his eyes and looked at the cobblestone road: "This is how it should be between the ruler and the subject. We cannot break the rules."
The fifth prince's eyes narrowed slightly and he turned to look at him, but because Xin Wubian was still watching him, he couldn't say much. This idiot was just a big sieve.
He sighed helplessly, raised his hand and patted Xin Wujiang on the shoulder and said, "Alright, General, go back. You have to honor me at the Crown Prince's birthday banquet tomorrow."
"The prince has invited me, so I can't refuse. I will go."
Xin Wujiang said expressionlessly.
"Okay, let's go."
The fifth prince waved his hand, and Xin Wujiang gave Xin Wubian a look: "Let's go."
"oh."
Xin Wubian obediently followed Xin Wujiang away.
After leaving the Fifth Prince's Mansion, Xin Wujiang and Xin Wubian got on the carriage together. Xin Wujiang sat in the main seat, while Xin Wubian sat on the side, and kept moving towards the corner.
"Um?"
Xin Wujiang glared at him, and Xin Wubian immediately stopped moving. He smiled awkwardly and said, "Brother, why are you here?"
