Chapter 109 Well, it's terrible!
"Cough cough cough..." Upon hearing this, Shu Wan sprayed out the tea in her mouth. Some of it choked her and made her cough repeatedly. Her whole face turned red and she didn't recover for a long time.
It was intentional. This guy definitely did it on purpose!
"Princess Shuyin, are you okay?" Yuwen Yan asked with concern.
"The tea is too hot, cough..." Shu Wan, who had finally recovered from his breath, blamed all the fault on the tea.
"Damn you servants! They served such scalding hot tea!" Yu Wenyan, who was unaware of the situation, scolded the servants, "I will ask them to serve another cup of tea right away!"
"No need!" Shu Wan raised his hand, indicating that it was not necessary, "I'm fine!"
"Such a thing actually happened in Prince Li's Mansion!" Rong Chen on the side continued to make sarcastic remarks, "Then what do you think, Princess, should this matter be handled?" He asked Shu Wan with a slight smile.
"What does it have to do with me?" Shu Wan unconsciously raised his voice and yelled, then realized that he had said something wrong, so he lowered his voice, "This is Prince Li's family affair, how can you and I, outsiders, talk nonsense?"
"They are just some small things, no problem!" Yu Wenyan still smiled.
"By the way, Your Highness Prince Li, I wonder where my girl is now?" Shu Wan quickly changed the subject. Humph, I'll go back and settle the score with Rong Chen.
"I asked my servants to take Miss Xiaoju to bathe and change clothes. The little girl is soaked all over and looks so pitiful!" Yuwen Yan replied.
"In that case, thank you very much, Your Highness Prince Li." Shu Wan began to express his gratitude.
"It's just a trivial matter." Yuwen Yan smiled, "But Your Highness, why didn't you bring her to the capital with you? After the little girl found me, she cried and asked me to take her to find the princess. It's obvious that she was really scared."
"I had no choice but to do so that day!" Shu Wan smiled, "I was frightened by the assassination attempt, and I was afraid that bringing her along would only increase the danger, so Master Yu beside me arranged her like this, causing trouble for Your Highness." Shu Wan deliberately emphasized the words that he was frightened by the assassination attempt.
"The princess is quick-witted and intelligent. I really admire her!" Yuwen Yan took a sip of tea before responding.
"I was forced to do this, otherwise, who would be willing to bother with all this!" Shu Wan sighed and shook his head, feeling quite helpless.
After a while, someone came up with Xiaoju.
After she came up, she knelt down and bowed deeply to Shu Wan.
"Xiao Ju greets the young lady!" Then she felt something was wrong, "No, it turns out the young lady is actually a princess. Damn it, Xiao Ju, she called the wrong person princess!" As she said that, she kowtowed again.
"You girl, get up quickly!" Shu Wan stretched out his hand to pull her up, "I was traveling that day, and I concealed my true identity to avoid unnecessary trouble caused by others knowing my identity. You knew nothing about it, so how could you have made a mistake!" She really felt unworthy of Xiaoju's gift. Not to mention the princess, even the identity of this lady was stolen.
"Thank you, Princess!" Xiaoju said flattered.
"Your Highness Prince Li, you already know him, so I won't say much. This is the Imperial Preceptor. I'm currently staying at his residence!" Shu Wan glanced at Rong Chen, then introduced him reluctantly.
"Greetings, Master Imperial Master!" Xiaoju quickly bowed.
"This is Xiaoju, the little girl I saved on the road," and then she introduced her to Yuwen Yan and Rong Chen.
The two nodded to show that they understood.
"Your Highness Prince Li, now that the person has been picked up, I will take her back. I came in a hurry today and have not prepared any gifts to thank you. I will definitely come to your house to thank you another day!" Shu Wan didn't want to stay any longer, so he prepared to leave with his people.
"Princess Shuyin, it's raining heavily outside. Why don't you stay here for a while? It won't be too late to leave after the rain stops!" Yuwen Yan tried to persuade them to stay. "Besides, it's almost lunch time. Why don't you stay and have a quick meal with the Imperial Master before leaving?"
Shu Wan was about to refuse when Rong Chen on the other end spoke.
"Since Prince Li has invited us so kindly, it would be difficult to reject his kindness. Let's wait until the rain stops before leaving!"
Rong Chen had said so, there was no way Shu Wan could argue with him. It was just a waste of time for Yu Wenyan to see the joke, and he would go back and settle the score with him.
Shu Wan suddenly realized that there seemed to be something wrong with her idea, but she couldn't remember what it was, so she had to give up.
It is not known whether they enjoyed the meal or not, but Xiaoju and Ping'er, a maid in the Prince Li's Mansion, got along very well. In just half a day, the two of them had become close sisters.
After all, Ping'er was a well-known maid in the Prince's Mansion, and she was generous. She gave Xiaoju several things that Xiaoju had never seen in her life.
She was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling all the way back.
Shu Wan opened his mouth several times, wanting to say something, but in the end he said nothing.
When we returned to the Imperial Master's Mansion, the rain had stopped.
After learning that her master is actually a princess, Xiaoju's attitude becomes only more loyal than before.
She got off the carriage and respectfully helped Shu Wan down to the ground.
Because Shu Wan had quite a bit of resentment towards Rong Chen, he ignored her after getting off the car and just left.
Rong Chen knew that the little girl was angry, so he didn't think much about it. He just stood up and followed her. However, when he glanced sideways inadvertently, he saw Shu Wan's embroidered shoes still on the carriage.
Rong Chen, who had already stretched out one foot, retracted his foot, stared at the shoes for a long time, then reached out, picked up the shoes and walked away!
After returning to the courtyard, Shu Wan drank a bowl of ginger soup brought by the servants to drive away the cold, handed Xiaoju to Yu Jianning, and walked angrily into the inner room, jumped onto the bed, covered himself with the quilt, and cursed Rong Chen.
Shu Wan fell asleep in a daze, but her sleep was not sound. In her daze, the scene in front of her appeared before her like a passing show.
She saw herself fighting with a group of people. Suddenly someone behind her shouted at her to be careful. She turned around and saw a sharp blade piercing Rong Chen's heart.
"Go!" In the dream, Rong Chen, covered in blood, shouted at her to go away with all his might.
He ran towards Rong Chen, but saw a bottomless cliff in front of him. Where was Rong Chen in front of him? She called Rong Chen's name again and again, but no one responded.
In the blink of an eye, she was again wearing a bright red wedding dress, and seemed to be getting married to someone, but she couldn't see the person's face clearly.
Everything around her became blurry, but Rong Chen, dressed in white, was clearly standing not far from her.
Rong Chen walked towards her with a smile on his face, and she was delighted.
Rong Chen walked up to her, the joy on her face was beyond words. She opened her mouth and wanted to call him, but saw Rong Chen's expression began to become distorted, and he held a dagger in his hand and stabbed it into her lower abdomen.
Then she suddenly opened her eyes, gasping for breath, and her head was covered with beads of sweat.
"But it's just a nightmare, don't be afraid!"
Rong Chen's voice suddenly came from beside him.
Before Shu Wan woke up from her dream and heard the words, she screamed and shrank back. When she looked carefully, she saw Rong Chen squatting beside her bed.
Shu Wan, who was once again frightened to death by Rong Chen, looked at her for a long time without recovering from the shock.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here!" Rong Chen's tone was unspeakably gentle.
Shu Wan wanted to cry but had no tears. I'm scared because you're here!
"Are you a human or a ghost?" Shu Wan asked subconsciously.
"It should be a person!" Rong Chen suddenly felt a little funny, and the tension in his heart disappeared for the most part.
"Are you here to kill me?" Shu Wan still asked foolishly.
"Silly girl, what did you dream about?" Rong Chen laughed and reached out to touch her head. "Why are you talking nonsense!" How could he hurt her?
"I dreamed that you died, and then that killed me!" Shu Wan recalled the scene in the dream, still sweating. Why did she have such a strange dream! "It's just a dream, don't take it seriously!" Rong Chen comforted her softly, thinking that's why she asked if he was a human or a ghost when she saw him. It turned out that she dreamed that he was dead.
"But that dream was too real!" Shu Wan muttered to herself more, "No, I can't stay here any longer, I have to go back as soon as possible, I will go to the palace tomorrow." She wanted to go into the palace right now, but it was not possible now. It was already dark, and the palace gates should be locked.
"What are you going into the palace for?" Rong Chen didn't react for a moment. At this moment, what was she thinking about going into the palace for?
"Go find out what kind of poison you drank!" Shu Wan widened his eyes and looked at Rong Chen speechlessly. How could this man be so stupid? "And, I haven't asked you yet, what are you doing here?" He sneaked into her room while she was asleep, a hooligan! "I... I came to give you something!" Rong Chen's eyes flickered a little, "It's dangerous, don't go to the palace, it's okay, just don't drink the medicine!" He was still very moved in his heart. Shu Wan had not forgotten his safety at this time. She really had deep feelings for him in her heart! "You..." Shu Wan was so angry at his indifferent look, "That's right, the body is yours, it has nothing to do with me, let you die." He didn't take his own life seriously, so who else could he expect to take him seriously.
If you don't agree, there's no need to talk too much.
"In order not to let the princess down, I will try my best not to lose my life!" But Rong Chen still spoke in a nonchalant tone.
"What kind of feelings? Don't think too much!" Shu Wan's eyes flickered unconsciously. "I'm not concerned about you. I just came here to take you home. If you die from the poison, wouldn't all my work be in vain? Don't get the wrong idea!" Somehow, when she said this, she stuttered, like a person with a stutter.
"That's what I thought too. In order not to disappoint the princess in taking me home, I said I would try my best to live well and not let the princess's efforts go to waste!" Rong Chen explained very seriously, "Why does the princess say that I was thinking in the wrong way? Could it be that I was wrong?" Shu Wan didn't see the malicious smile on Rong Chen's lips.
"I, I, I..." Shu Wan's face turned red, and she stuttered, not knowing what to say. Did she really think too much? "Yes... By the way, you just said you came to give me something, what is it?" In a panic, she suddenly remembered what Rong Chen had just said, so she made an excuse to skip the topic.
"Oh!" Rong Chen seemed to have just remembered, "Even if the princess hadn't told me, I would have forgotten about it. The princess forgot her shoes in the carriage today. So, I personally delivered them to the princess." He said to Shu Wan, trying hard to hold back his smile.
Shu Wan's mind flashed with the scene in the carriage during the day, and then he thought of what happened in Li Wang's mansion, and then he looked at Rong Chen, who was in front of him and had succeeded.
Shu Wan was really embarrassed.
How many holes has she dug for herself today?
"Rong Chen, did you do this on purpose?" Shu Wan was furious, as if the louder the voice, the more confident he would be. "How could you be so stupid to plot against me!"
"What did I do wrong? Why does the princess say that I did it on purpose? When did I ever plot against the princess?" Rong Chen pretended to be innocent.
"You...you..." Shu Wan was about to vomit blood in anger, "You deliberately framed me, changed my shoes in front of you, and then deliberately said those words in Li Wangfu. You still dare to say that you didn't scheme on purpose?" Shu Wan was so angry that he almost grabbed his sleeve to question him.
"Princess, you really misunderstood me!" Rong Chen's face was full of hurt expression. "I saw that your shoes were wet, and I was afraid that you would catch a cold, so I kindly brought you a pair of clean shoes to change. I did not mean to be disrespectful to you, it's just that the space in the carriage is so limited... As for those words I said in Li Wangfu, I really didn't mean it, and I only remembered it after I said it. As for what happened during the day, if the princess is resentful of me, you can beat me up to vent your anger, okay?" Rong Chen was really good at talking. He could turn black into white and the dead into the living.
"You mean, it's all my fault?" For some reason, after hearing his explanation like this, Shu Wan not only did not calm down, but became even angrier.
"No, no, it's all my fault!" Rong Chen admitted his mistake in a very serious and sincere manner.
Shu Wan was about to say something when suddenly a loud thunder roared, resounding through heaven and earth, and lightning struck along with it, illuminating the room as bright as day.
Shu Wan was subconsciously startled, and then unconsciously curled up into a ball.
By the way, Shu Wan, who is fearless, is afraid of thunder.
She had a deep fear of thunder! It was an incident many years ago, a shadow of her childhood.
At the moment when the lightning flashed, Rong Chen did not miss the panic and fear in her eyes.
It turns out that this little girl is afraid of thunder! "It's thundering, I'm scared!" Rong Chen looked at her weakly, pitifully and helplessly and said, "Princess, can you take me in?" The little girl is so strong-willed that if he points it out directly, she might tear herself apart, so Rong Chen decided to use a roundabout tactic.
"Are you afraid of thunder?" Shu Wan asked half-doubtfully.
"Yeah!" Rong Chen nodded very seriously, "It's terrible!"
As for the girl Xiaoju...well, Shu Wan’s success is due to Xiaoju, and his failure is also due to Xiaoju!
