Xiao She was a little flustered and quickly lay on the ground to stop the sachet, but fortunately it was made of silver and not as fragile as jade or glass.
She was still feeling lucky that it wasn't broken when the sachet in her hand opened with a sound and more small balls rolled out of it. She was so scared that she quickly gathered them up on the ground.
"What are you doing?" Lu Anyuan's voice rang out in the inner room, causing Xiaoshe to tremble with excitement, and the little balls in his hand once again scattered on the ground.
"Your Highness, please forgive me! I was just making the bed and accidentally broke this sachet. This..."
Lu Anyuan took the sachet and looked inside carefully. It turned out that the sachet had two layers. The outside was decorated with various patterns, and the inside was empty and could be used to store spices.
"It's just that the opening and closing buckle is loose. It's okay. Just put it back on." Lu Anyuan ignored such a trivial matter, and Xiaoshe also breathed a sigh of relief.
However, he was still a little annoyed by stepping on the small pills all over the floor. He picked up one at random, smelled it, and felt that it was a little strange.
"Is this a scent pill? Why doesn't it have any fragrance at all?" Not only is it not fragrant, it even has a hint of bitterness.
"This servant didn't know that this sachet belongs to Madam."
"Hiss!" Lu Anyuan thought for a long time and felt that he should not touch Yixing's things, but this thing was indeed very suspicious. Who has ever seen so many incense pills at one time?
"Go and ask Mr. Yao to come over."
"Mr. Yao always goes into the mountains to collect herbs every winter, but he is not at home now."
"Oh... I forgot. Then go call a doctor."
Xu Yixing dragged his feet and "inspected" the huge back garden of the prince's mansion. Although the first snow came early this year, it has been dry and sunny since the first snow, but it is very cold and a bit annoying.
After she had walked around enough, she returned to the master bedroom in the main hall.
However, the main hall was quiet today, and no one could be seen where they had gone. Xu Yixing took off his cloak, held it in his arms, and walked towards the inner hall.
All I saw was Lu Anyuan sitting on the edge of the bed like a clay statue, with his head lowered, and my expression couldn't be seen clearly.
"Where are all your family members? Why are you sitting there in a daze?" Xu Yixing threw his cloak on the lounge chair by the window, took a few steps towards Lu Anyuan, and immediately saw that he was holding a round ball in his hand.
ah?
Xu Yixing looked up and saw that the sachet he had hung beside the bed was gone. Was he mistaken? He had discovered it so quickly.
Xu Yixing almost immediately rushed over and sat next to Lu Anyuan: "Listen to my explanation!"
Lu Anyuan raised his hand and interrupted Xu Yixing. He looked like a sad tiger, raised his head, and handed the thing in his hand to Xu Yixing: "It's okay, I don't have to listen."
"How could you not listen?"
"Before we got married, you asked me if we could be a nominal couple, and I said it depends on my mood. But now I say yes, you don't have to eat this thing anymore." Lu Anyuan turned his head and looked at Xu Yixing deeply, then raised his leg and left. He really didn't listen to Xu Yixing's explanation.
Xu Yixing sighed helplessly. It was just as he expected. If he knew the truth, he would definitely hate him very much.
But being a short-selling couple? What about the previous March? Was it just bad luck for me?
Xu Yixing looked at the things in his hand. Some of the pills inside had been crushed, but Lu Anyuan still collected them and put them all back.
Perhaps he accidentally opened the sachet and stepped on it before discovering this.
"Siqin! Go and ask Mr. Yao to come over!" Since Lu Anyuan didn't want to tell her, she could only go and talk to Mr. Yao.
Siqin came in upon hearing the voice and bowed, "I heard from the people in the mansion that Mr. Yao goes into the mountains to collect herbs in winter and is not at home now."
"Are you kidding me? Where are the herbs in winter?"
"Snakes hibernate in winter, so they're easier to catch. I heard they're out collecting venom."
"Oh..." Okay, I forgot this handsome guy has this skill. "Then do you know when he will be back?"
"Not necessarily. If everything goes well, I'll be back soon. But if it doesn't, that might not be the case."
Xu Yixing was speechless and choked. He hadn't even tried to reason with Mr. Yao yet! Lu Anyuan couldn't find Mr. Yao, so he must have asked the court doctor for medicine. He could clearly explain it himself, so why didn't he listen?
"Okay, then let's wait for him to come back and save me and your brother-in-law." Xu Yixing fell on the bed, feeling extremely sad and unlucky!
"Ah? What happened? What happened to you? What happened to His Highness the Seventh Prince? Do you need someone to rescue you? Why don't you say anything? Why don't you say something..."
Xu Yixing finally drove Siqin out amidst her noise. It was so annoying. He was already worried enough about the Second Prince's affairs, and now the Seventh Prince came. What bad luck!
However, he hadn't been lying there for long before Xu Yixing was woken up by Ada's voice.
"What are you doing here? What does your Highness want?"
"I do have instructions. Please get up first, madam." Ah Da looked reluctant and seemed not to want to come in.
Xu Yixing got up from the bed and saw Ada easily carrying away Lu Anyuan's bedding, and then gathered out some commonly worn clothes and carried them away.
"I say, does your Highness intend to separate from me?"
"I dare not. His Highness said that he will sleep in the study from now on, so the main hall lady will have it all to herself."
"Hey!" Xu Yixing was really angry but had no place to vent it. He just wanted to sleep in the study, not to hide his mistress in the study!
Sleeping alone was Xu Yixing's habit, but that night she couldn't fall asleep. She tossed and turned, and with her hands on her chest, she finally realized, hopelessly and belatedly, that she really loved Lu Anyuan.
She had always thought that her feelings for Lu Anyuan were out of gratitude and exploitation, so she didn't reject Lu Anyuan at all. No matter the troubles or benefits brought by his identity, she accepted them all.
I used to doubt what the heart of a lover was like, but only tonight I realized that the heart of a lover is one that cannot sleep because of worry.
When was that? When did I fall in love with Lu Anyuan without realizing it?
"After she got married?" No, earlier than that. Xu Yixing quickly searched his memory and finally found that subtle clue.
She remembered the night when Sun Ziyou assassinated her and his men, and the words "Who said I don't like you" that she blurted out in the carriage.
"So it was that night..." How stupid, it happened so early, before I recovered my lost memories, before I realized this matter.
It was no wonder that when Lu Anyuan admitted his crime and apologized to her that day, she had forgiven him so easily. How could someone like her, who was always vindictive and nitpicking, forgive someone so easily?
Is it because of love or admiration?
