Chapter 164: Finally Not Too Heartless
Upon hearing this, Bi Rui first secretly looked up at Prince Xiao's expression, and then whispered, "Your Highness, the quilt... Master Eleven requested that it be taken to the West Garden... It was Eunuch Jiang who took it away."
Birui didn't know about Prince Xiao's plan, so she was completely confused from the moment Zhao Mingde took Yun Qingshi away from Yian Palace.
She also didn't understand. The day before yesterday, she clearly heard a noise coming from the bedroom... ahem, that kind of noise...
There didn't seem to be any conflict between the two yesterday, so why did Ying Shiyi suddenly move out today?
She really couldn't understand it.
Xiao Jiwu: ...
Xiao Jiwu looked at the half-empty bed and felt as if there was a hole in his heart that was leaking air. He felt extremely uncomfortable, and also felt empty and confused.
He lowered his eyes, lost in thought, and after a long moment he said to Birui, "Forget it, go down."
Birui was stunned when she heard this and looked hesitant.
After a pause, she asked hesitantly, "Then, Your Majesty, breakfast is ready. Shall we serve it now?"
Xiao Jiwu quickly said calmly, "No need."
He doesn't want to eat anything.
"Yes." Birui nodded respectfully after hearing this, then tiptoed forward to help Prince Xiao change into his court robes and then hurriedly left.
Although she had many questions in her mind, she didn't dare to ask too many questions.
After Birui left, Xiao Jiwu sat down on the couch at the place where Yun Qingshi usually liked to sit. He opened the drawer of the small table and found that it was empty.
In the past, the boy always liked to put half-read notebooks in the drawer...
Xiao Jiwu looked around the entire bedroom in silence again. After a moment, he stood up and opened the cabinet, only to see that the compartment on the top where the young man had placed his bag was now empty.
At the beginning, Shadow Eleven only occupied this one grid.
Later, his clothes gradually increased and could no longer be stored, so this cabinet was used exclusively for him.
There were still a few pieces of clothes left in the closet.
Nothing else was left.
Even a jade rabbit ornament on the chest of drawers was taken away by the boy.
I bought it on the street earlier...
When his thoughts reached this point, Xiao Jiwu pinched his brows and sat back on the stool. He was so depressed that he didn't want to talk.
He now had an impulse, he wanted to go to Xiyuan and bring Ying Shiyi back.
But reason still made him suppress such thoughts.
He also understood the principle of destruction before construction.
Now that things have come to this, we cannot give up halfway.
The next moment, Xiao Jiwu knocked on the table.
Ying Yi heard the sound and pushed the door open, then knelt on one knee in front of Prince Xiao: "Master."
Xiao Jiwu ordered calmly: "Send a message to the Minister of War and the Minister of Revenue, and have them come to Fuxiang Residence at 3:00 PM today to discuss matters with the king..."
"Yes." Yingyi quickly agreed and went to do it.
Xiao Jiwu then went to the desk and began to read the secret letter sent by Yingyi.
These are the messages sent back by the secret guards stationed in various places...
About a moment later, Zhao Mingde returned to Yian Hall.
He immediately brought a bowl of clam and rice soup into the main hall, then respectfully placed the food next to Prince Xiao and advised him worriedly: "Your Highness, you should eat something, otherwise your body will not be able to bear it. I heard from Birui that it's already this late and you haven't even had breakfast yet..."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Jiwu simply asked, "Has everything been settled in Xiyuan?"
Zhao Mingde nodded hurriedly and replied, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. Everything has been arranged according to Your Majesty's wishes. Changshun has stayed in the Western Garden to serve You, My Lord. I have also instructed Changshun to report immediately if anything goes wrong."
Prince Xiao calmly asked, "Did he say anything?"
Zhao Mingde of course understood who this 'he' referred to. He quickly replied with a smile, "Yes, it was Master Eleven who took the initiative to ask if the prince was okay. I said everything was fine with the prince."
"This servant thinks that Master Eleven is also worried about the prince. It shows that he still cares about the prince."
Prince Xiao nodded calmly, his mood brightening considerably: "Is that so..."
At least I'm not so heartless. I still remember to ask him a question.
Zhao Mingde immediately asked with concern: "What about this soup?"
Xiao Jiwu replied: "Leave it there, I will eat it later."
Zhao Mingde was relieved and happily agreed, "Okay, okay, then I will withdraw first. Your Highness, please be busy."
Xiao Jiwu: "Yeah."

At the same time, Yuzhu, who got the news, almost ran back to the yard.
As soon as she returned to the yard, before even entering the house, she shouted breathlessly: "Master! Master! There's news! There's news!"
Inside the room, Chu Zhiyu heard the sound and went over to open the door. Seeing Yuzhu looking anxious, he frowned and asked, "What's the matter? Why are you so anxious?"
Yuzhu was breathless when she heard this and replied hastily, "That Ying Shiyi, the prince doesn't want him to live in Yi'an Palace anymore. He moved out early this morning. Eunuch Zhao took him there."
Chu Zhiyu's eyes widened upon hearing this, and he asked in disbelief, "Is this true? Did you hear it correctly?"
Yuzhu nodded repeatedly: "It is absolutely true. I saw it with my own eyes. Ying Shiyi moved out of Yi'an Palace."
Chu Zhiyu was stunned for a moment before he finally believed the truth. The surprise on his face gradually faded, replaced by a look of delight: "Great! Great! I knew that with his arrogant and self-righteous personality, the prince would eventually grow tired of him."
Yuzhu also happily agreed: "Yes, now that he has moved out, the young master's opportunity has come."
She then asked, "Sir, are you going to see the prince now?"
Chu Zhiyu hesitated for a moment after hearing this, and finally shook his head: "Don't worry, since the prince has already abandoned him, I will have plenty of opportunities in the future. Now is not the right time to go. Perhaps the prince is angry. Let's wait until tomorrow."
He then spoke to Yuzhu: "Don't worry, Yuzhu, when I become the prince's wife, I will definitely reward you handsomely. As long as you follow me sincerely, I will definitely not treat you unfairly..."

In the West Garden, Yun Qingshi worked wholeheartedly for the entire morning, and finally finished drawing his design.
Next to a pile of scraps, he was holding the most perfect one and admiring it carefully.
As expected of him, this is not a problem for him. He really deserves praise.
His design is really excellent.
Although it looks a bit abstract, it doesn’t matter, as long as he can understand it.
