Chapter 140 I Can't Let Go
His voice always had the magic to comfort her. He asked her, "What nightmare did you have? Tell me and it will be broken."
He was so gentle and treated her so well.
Will you treat Xu Wan like this in the future?
Before Li Runrun could say anything, tears started to fall, and she wiped them away silently, not daring to be noticed by him.
She was sweating all over, but she no longer felt the fear and panic she had felt before.
She hugged him for a while longer before letting him go.
She lowered her head, feeling a little embarrassed about what had happened: "I had a nightmare, but I can't remember it when I woke up."
Ye Yunchu touched her forehead, ran his knuckles across her face, and finally held her hand.
"Then get up and eat something."
When he said this, Li Bai brought over the clothes that Li Ruanruan was wearing.
I saw that the prince’s clothes had all been changed, and this was a new one.
Li Runrun was embarrassed to put on her clothes.
I realized that she had slept for so long. It was already dark and I didn't know when Ye Qiaoqiao left.
She didn't know when the prince arrived at the ear room or how long he stayed there.
After getting dressed, Li Runrun followed the prince to have dinner.
Today's dishes are also very rich, and they are all her favorites.
I don’t know if it was because of the intimate promise made that night, but Li Runrun felt that there was always something different between her and the prince.
They seemed to be closer, and the prince treated her better.
While eating, he picked up some food for her.
Li Runrun blushed and also picked up some food for the prince.
But he didn't wait for her to put the food in his bowl. He just opened his mouth and ate the food she picked up with her chopsticks.
He actually asked her to feed him, which was a little bit of fun.
Li Runrun's face turned even redder.
But the next time she picked up some food, she didn't put it in his bowl, but fed it directly to his mouth.
He would look right at her and then eat her.
It was as if he was not eating the food, but was eating her directly with his eyes.
They were so engrossed in the whole meal.
It soothed the uneasiness in Li Runrun's heart.
After dinner, Ye Yunchu asked Li Ruanruan, "Do you want to go for a walk? I wonder if the red plum blossoms have faded yet?"
Haitang heard this and quickly replied, "The red plum blossoms are in full bloom, and the green plum tree in the garden is also in full bloom, so it's perfect for enjoying them."
"So, are you going?"
Li Runrun really enjoyed walking around the garden with him, as it gave her a sense of peace and security that they had spent their entire lives together.
She nodded when she heard it: "Yeah."
But they had not yet finished touring the garden when the secret guard came to report that the prince had arrived.
Who dared to stop the prince? Almost as soon as the secret guard came to report, the prince had already brought his men in.
Li Runrun felt very uneasy, and when she thought of her previous dream, she became even more frightened. She hid behind Ye Yunchu.
Ye Yunchu also frowned slightly, then quickly went over to greet him. After bowing, he asked, "Your Highness the Crown Prince, why did you come here so late at night? What's the urgent matter?"
Otherwise, according to the prince's personality, if you want to see him, you just need to send someone to tell him to go to the East Palace to discuss matters.
Xiao Jing waved his hand, signaling Ye Yunchu to excuse himself from the formalities, and then said, "I have something to ask you."
Ye Yunchu invited the prince to the study.
Li Runrun was extremely nervous. Haitang had already brewed the best tea and was ready to serve it to her.
Li Runrun was uneasy, she was afraid that the prince would come directly to ask the young master for the person.
Biting her lip, Li Ruanruan said to Haitang, "Let me go."
Haitang was stunned for a moment, then let her take the tray away.
Li Runrun took a deep breath, brought the tea in, and placed it in front of the prince and Ye Yunchu.
I heard the prince say: "I have a new prescription, take a look at it."
Li Ruanruan's hand trembled, and some tea spilled out of the teacup in front of Ye Yunchu. She burned her fingertips and quickly retracted her fingers and stood aside.
Ye Yunchu glanced at her and reached out to take the prescription.
Li Runrun's gaze naturally drifted over and saw Ye Yunchu opening it.
It was indeed a recipe for alcohol, but it was copied from another source, not in her handwriting.
Li Runrun immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and she had a general idea of what was going on.
I think the prince wants to hand over the alcohol-making task to the Crown Prince, which is indirectly handing it back to her.
After all, even if you have a recipe, you may not be able to extract the ingredient perfectly. Even if she writes it in an easy-to-understand way, it will still be difficult if you have no experience in extraction and production.
The prince's plan was a good one.
Li Runrun breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to leave with the tea tray.
The prince said, "You stay. I have something to ask you about the winery."
Li Runrun had no choice but to stand back obediently and stand behind Ye Yunchu.
She was not as scared as she was during the day because the prince was here, her backbone was here, giving her a sense of security.
Ye Yunchu looked at the prescription, frowning, and asked the prince, "What is this? Where did your highness get it?"
"It's something from overseas. Someone handed it to me. They say it can extract something called alcohol from strong liquor, which can prevent wounds from festering and kill plague."
Ye Yunchu was surprised: "So powerful? Is this true?"
"I don't know. I just came to you to take a look. If it can be made, I can give it a try. If it is real, it will benefit the soldiers on the frontier and the people of the world."
Ye Yunchu looked at the detailed recipe and nodded: "If it is true, it will be a blessing for Dasheng."
The prince nodded, but looked at Li Ruanruan who was looking down at the floor.
He didn't mention the winery afterwards, but instead said, "I heard that the Queen Mother summoned you today? Was it about your marriage?"
Ye Yunchu kept his eyes on the detailed recipe. The more he looked at it, the more complicated the process seemed to him. The person who wrote this recipe must be a capable person with a meticulous mind.
At first glance, you can't see much, but if you look closely, you will find its subtlety.
Ye Yunchu stared at it intently, thinking that if this recipe was real, it would be a wonderful thing.
Hearing the prince's words unexpectedly, Ye Yunchu's gaze paused, as if he didn't want to talk anymore, and he just said "hmm" lightly.
The prince placed the teacup on the table. In this quiet study, the sound was very light, but it woke his ears.
It's hard to ignore.
Xiao Jing leaned back in his chair, tapping his hand lightly on the armrest. He looked at Ye Yunchu and said, "But what day are you planning to hold the wedding on?"
Ye Yunchu read the prescription twice, and after having a rough idea in his mind, he folded the prescription and put it aside.
He also picked up the tea and took a sip. When he put it down, he wanted to send Li Ruanruan out.
But I also thought that she would know sooner or later.
So he said lightly: "It is the 19th day of the first lunar month."
The prince said calmly, "So soon? It's going to be held after the New Year, so shouldn't we start preparing now?"
Ye Yunchu nodded: "Not too close, still two or three months."
"It's ready. I'm just waiting to drink at your wedding."
"Thank you very much for your honor, Your Highness."
Ye Yunchu chuckled.
Li Ruanruan squeezed the tray tightly.
Then the prince said, "I also heard that Madam Xu intends to let your concubine live with Miss Xu for a few days. Madam Xu would also like to do that, but she's afraid you might be reluctant to leave."
