Chapter 228 Test
The third prince looked at the gentle and graceful woman in front of him and felt a little embarrassed for a moment.
"Miss Wen, please go first."
Wen Lingrou nodded slightly, took the initiative to walk in front, walked around the front yard corridor, and came to the door of An Yunxi's resting room.
She raised her hand and knocked, "Yunxi, the third prince and I came to see you, how are you?"
An Yunxi's voice came from inside: "Chunyue, go open the door."
The door was opened by Chunyue, and the little maid immediately stepped back to let the two people walk in from outside.
The screen blocked the view of the people outside, and An Yunxi pretended to cough and immediately made the two people outside the door worried.
"Is your illness serious? Have you seen a doctor?"
An Yunxi covered herself with the quilt to block her stomach.
Then she asked Chunyue to remove the screen, raised her eyes and looked at the two of them with a smile: "It's nothing serious, just a little cold, I've taken medicine."
Hearing An Yunxi say this, Wen Lingrou was relieved. She immediately walked to the bed and grabbed An Yunxi's hand.
While the third prince was not close, she whispered: "I have brought the person to you. Did I do a good job?"
An Yunxi couldn't help laughing, "Yeah."
Wen Lingrou said: "Then you two can chat slowly, I'll go out first."
She made an excuse, saying that the gift prepared for An Yunxi had not been brought over, and now she was going to get it.
An Yunxi nodded slightly and watched Wen Lingrou walk out of the room.
The Third Prince subconsciously looked at the back of the woman beside him. He had seen Wen Lingrou before, but because of his bad reputation, the princess rarely spoke to him as gently as she did now. This was the first time he had experienced such treatment.
An Yunxi coughed and immediately attracted the Third Prince's attention.
He said awkwardly, "I just heard that you were sick, so I came to see you, Aunt Huang."
This address made the atmosphere even more awkward.
An Yunxi couldn't help but chuckle: "I've already told you, if you feel embarrassed, you don't have to address me like that."
The third prince said, "How can that be? We still have to observe etiquette of our generations and we can't break the rules."
An Yunxi was stunned, then raised her eyebrows and teased: "You still know etiquette and rules?"
The third prince touched the tip of his nose, looking a little flustered: "My mother told me, and I'm grown up now, and I can't always be like when I was a child, ignorant and willful."
"Yeah, I can't always be like a child."
There was a sense of loss in An Yunxi's tone. Now when she recalls the past, she always has a feeling that things have changed and people have changed.
She leaned against the head of the bed, her eyes gradually becoming deeper, "You came to the palace for the banquet, but you didn't prepare any gifts for me?"
When he mentioned this, the Third Prince's mood relaxed a little, and he couldn't help laughing.
"How come there is still a host who takes the initiative to ask for gifts? But I really prepared one, for you."
He took something out of his sleeve. .
An Yunxi looked at the sheathed dagger in his hand, and the corners of her mouth twitched.
The Third Prince even deliberately put the dagger into his sleeve to avoid being discovered that he was carrying a weapon into the palace, and then strode forward and approached the bed.
When Chunyue saw the dagger, she was almost scared to death, and rushed over to block in front of the princess, staring at him with vigilance in her eyes.
"Third Prince, this is the Regent's Palace, what do you want to do?"
The Third Prince was slightly stunned by being blocked, with a look of grievance on his face.
"This prince is just here to give a gift, you don't have to be nervous."
Chunyue did not mean to make way, "Then please don't get close, Your Highness, put the dagger on the table next to you, I will take it to the princess myself."
The Third Prince held the dagger and stood there for a while, a little at a loss.
He took the dagger out of his sleeve and put it on the table as Chunyue requested, while putting it back, he said: "I know you don't like those little girls' toys, you just like to wield swords and guns, so I searched for a long time before I found such a dagger that can cut iron like mud."
An Yunxi smiled and said: "Chunyue, bring it over, show me what kind of magic weapon it is?"
It's really rare that the Third Prince still remembers her preferences.
Concubine Hui and the Marquis of Anguo's Mansion are all from the same lineage as Old Lady Du.
Old Lady Du's family name is Li. Because the Li family is the in-laws of the Marquis of Anguo, they had a close relationship in the early years. In recent years, there have been many intermarriages between the two families, and the relationship is complicated.
Therefore, the young An Yunxi calls the third prince cousin.
She took the dagger. The shape
of the dagger is not complicated, but it looks very good. The handle is inlaid with many different gems. It is obviously valuable and exquisitely made. The key is that it is very practical.
The blade is very sharp. It is not a toy for children to play house. It is a good thing that can kill people.
"Thank you, I like this gift very much."
Seeing her satisfaction, the third prince put on a smile on his face again.
"I'm glad you like it. Look at the maid next to you. She's on guard against me like a thief."
Chunyue lowered her eyes and said apologetically, "Please don't blame me for being so cautious, Your Highness. My princess was assassinated not long ago, and the assassin was arranged by the second prince, so I..."
The third prince immediately said generously, "I know you're also thinking about the safety of your princess. I've also heard about the second brother's affairs. I didn't expect him to do such a thing. He's usually so handsome, but I really misjudged him."
The third prince looked like he shared the same hatred for the enemy. He
even spoke up for An Yunxi.
All this conversation was completely logical, but with a little guidance, An Yunxi didn't intend to ask the third prince directly to avoid alarming him.
While listening to the Third Prince's words, An Yunxi lowered her eyes, her expression changing as she analyzed bit by bit whether what he said was true or false.
After the Third Prince finished complaining, An Yunxi smiled and said, "Anyway, it's good to know who the murderer is. If the real murderer is not caught, I'm afraid I will still be worried in the days to come."
The third prince nodded: "You are right. When I go back, I will help you beat up your second brother and ask him why he attacked you. Don't worry, Yunxi. If anyone dares to bully you, I will help you deal with him!"
The third prince's tone was full of sincerity,
and An Yunxi could not see any flaws.
The last time An Yunxi saw someone with such perfect acting skills was the old abbot.
The old abbot always looked compassionate, as if he was the kindest person in the world. Who would have thought that such a person would plot such a huge conspiracy.
Even Huijing, a disciple, died at the hands of the other party.
She retracted her gaze, holding the dagger that the Third Prince had just given her, and suddenly her eyes became sharp, with a cold light flashing in her eyes.
Suddenly, she turned her wrist, pulled out the dagger in an instant, and threw it away.
The Third Prince stared with astonishment, seeing the cold light coming straight at his face.
