Chapter 111: Outing
Shu Wan's eyes widened in disbelief. Rong Chen could clearly see that his facial expressions were clearly visible in her pupils.
Shu Wan wanted to say something, but Rong Chen quickly made a hushing gesture to silence her.
Shu Wan certainly knew what the current situation was. If the servants caught her and Rong Chen in the kitchen late at night, rumors would spread like a spring breeze tomorrow.
Even if she had ten mouths, she still couldn't explain it!
So even though this posture was awkward, she had no choice but to remain stiffly in the current position.
Her entire weight was on Rong Chen, but she was not heavy.
However, in terms of the stiffness of his body, Rong Chen was a hundred times more embarrassed than her.
Rong Chen had no choice but to force himself to think about something else, but the more he told himself not to think about it, the more it filled his brain, making him a little confused! Damn it!
He kept cursing in his mind.
I don't know whether he was scolding the two servants who broke in, or scolding Shu Wan, the little devil, or maybe he was scolding himself.
At this moment, Shu Wan really didn't notice anything unusual about her. Her mind was completely on the two servants wandering around in the kitchen. She silently prayed that they would leave quickly, otherwise, her reputation would be ruined.
"I told you you heard it wrong, there's no one there!" The two servants didn't see anyone in the kitchen.
"Maybe I really heard it wrong!" another person asked with some confusion.
"Maybe there's a night cat or something, why are you making such a fuss?" The person who spoke earlier spoke again.
"Then let's go!"
"Um!"
The two servants left while talking, and only after they were far away did Shu Wan and Rong Chen breathe a sigh of relief.
She rolled to the side panting, and then struggled to get up, but Rong Chen was not so lucky. When Shu Wan got up, she didn't notice that she had bumped into him! She got up by herself, but Rong Chen was still lying on the ground, wanting to cry but without tears.
"Get up?" Seeing Rong Chen simply closing his eyes and pretending to be dead, Shu Wan couldn't help but wonder, "They have gone far away, there is no need to hide anymore!" She thought Rong Chen was afraid that the two servants would come back.
Only then did Rong Chen grit his teeth and open his eyes resigned to his fate.
Shu Wan thought he was being considerate and reached out his hand to help him, but the latter ignored him and got up in a mess. He didn't want to pay any attention to this heartless girl, otherwise, he was afraid that he would get hot-headed and execute this little devil on the spot.
"Yeah." Rong Chen nodded calmly, unwilling to say more.
"Let's go!" After eating, Shu Wancai didn't want to stay here any longer. What if he was discovered again? "It would be bad if someone found out."
"Yeah." Rong Chen still maintained his cool and aloof demeanor.
After the two came out, they prepared to go their separate ways.
"Don't worry, there's no thunder now!" Shu Wan patted Rong Chen's shoulder comfortingly, "You can go back quickly. I won't tell anyone about what happened tonight." She sincerely said that she would keep the secret for Rong Chen.
"Okay, thank you Princess!" Rong Chen nodded in agreement.
"You're welcome. Goodbye!" Shu Wan said without waiting for Rong Chen's response.
A person left quickly, and she was still hiding, afraid that others would know that she had been out for a walk. She didn't feel relieved until she returned to the room.
Rong Chen followed her slowly until he saw someone enter the room, then he stopped.
Then he stood in Shu Wan's yard for a long time, staring at Shu Wan's room. He could not see anything except the door, but he still stared at it for a long time before turning away. He did not know what he was thinking! Tonight, Shu Wan fell asleep beautifully.
But Rong Chen was not so lucky. After he went back, his head started to hurt. It hurt so much that he wanted to punch his head open to see what was inside and why it hurt so much.
His endurance was excellent, but even so, he was still in so much pain that his whole body was almost deformed.
At this moment, he thought of the medicines he usually took. His brain wanted to drink them out of his control, and he had to drink them now. As long as he drank the bowl of medicine, he would get better immediately.
He kept telling himself in his heart that he should not think like that, but there was still a very stubborn desire in his mind, to take medicine, he wanted to take medicine.
He was tortured to a miserable state, when a figure broke in through the window.
The man rolled on the ground several times before he stopped. He was wearing night clothes and a veil, so it was hard to tell who he was.
Rong Chen became alert in an instant, thinking that someone was trying to kill him. He forced himself to cheer up and raised his palm to hit the man in black who had not yet gotten up.
"It's me!" Yu Jianning, who was lying on the ground, saw the murderous intent in his eyes and his actions, and quickly spoke out, pulling off the veil on his face.
Only then did Rong Chen see clearly that there was blood at the corner of Yu Jianning's mouth, and it seemed that he was seriously injured.
"It's you!" Rong Chen was a little surprised, "What's wrong with you? Why are you here?" After knowing that his current situation was safe, Rong Chen relaxed and felt that his head hurt even more, and it was about to explode.
"I was discovered while sneaking into Prince Li's mansion at night!" A smile appeared on Yu Jianning's obviously pale face.
"What are you doing at Prince Li's Mansion?" Rong Chen asked, suppressing his pain.
"It's raining today, so I thought the guards at the Prince's Mansion would relax, but I didn't expect that!" Yu Jianning shook his head and sighed.
"Hopelessly stupid!" Rong Chen said in a cold voice.
"You!" Yu Jianning was furious, "Rong Chen, do you have any conscience? Who am I doing this for? Isn't it to find the antidote for you? If I had known you would be so ungrateful, why would I have made this trip out of self-righteousness and almost lost my life there." Even though he was still bleeding, it did not affect his complaints about Rong Chen at all.
"Are you really doing this for me?" Rong Chen sneered.
"That's for sure!" Yu Jianning answered with his eyes wide open, "Who else could it be for? Shu Wan told me that you were poisoned, and I thought, we are brothers, so of course we should stick together for each other, so I worked non-stop to find an antidote for you!" Yu Jianning spoke excitedly, feeling that Rong Chen not only did not appreciate his kindness, but also called him stupid. This was something his uncle could tolerate but his aunt could not.
"What's the result?" Rong Chen still didn't look at him straight in the eye and was still so eloquent. It seemed that the injury would not be fatal.
"I..." Yu Jianning was speechless. He seemed to have messed up something. Not only did he fail to find the antidote, but he also alerted the enemy.
Rong Chen snorted coldly, indicating that he didn't want to pay attention to this stupid teammate. At this moment, his head hurt so much that it was about to be deformed.
"What's wrong with you?" Yu Jianning also noticed that something was wrong with him. Why did he look so painful?
"Can't you see?" Although his mind was a little confused, Rong Chen still did not forget to mock Yu Jianning.
"This is the symptom of your poisoning!" Yu Jianning didn't have time to argue with him at this time. "Shu Wan said that you might have been poisoned by a highly addictive poison. If you don't drink it continuously, you will be in excruciating pain!" He was a little at a loss.
Rong Chen didn't have time to pay attention to him, but he was still thinking in his heart that Shu Wan was really smart and could even guess this.
"No, I'll go call Shu Wan!" Yu Jianning said and was about to walk out.
"Stop!" Rong Chen called him with an unstable breath, "Don't go."
"But..." Yu Jianning wanted to say, but if he continued like this he would be in so much pain that he would die.
"What's the point of calling her?" Rong Chen asked in a cold voice, "If she knew how to cure this poison, would you still need to break into Prince Li's mansion and make yourself look so respectable?"
"I..." Yu Jianning stopped talking, which meant he agreed with what he said.
"She just said that she would enter the palace tomorrow. You have alerted the enemy tonight. Prince Li will definitely be on guard!" Rong Chen's tone softened a little.
"No, it's too dangerous, we can't go!" Yu Jianning jumped up. This Shu Wan was always a worry.
"So, you'd better pretend that nothing happened tomorrow, otherwise!" Rong Chen threatened.
Hearing this, Yu Jianning quickly wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, as if Shu Wan was right behind him.
"Tomorrow we will find a reason to prevent her from entering the palace!" He understood what Rong Chen meant.
"Hmm!" Rong Chen closed his eyes, as if only this could relieve the pain. "There is medicine over there, deal with it yourself." He pointed to where the medicine was placed, hoping that this man would not die here.
Yu Jianning went to look for the medicine box silently.
Rong Chen put his hands to cover his head. Something seemed to flash inside his head. It seemed to be a red color, very festive. He didn't have time to grasp this inspiration. Another person's figure seemed to flash through his mind. He couldn't remember anything else.
Seeing how painful he was, Yu Jianning took the initiative to walk over, and when Rong Chen wasn't paying attention, he hit him on the back of the neck with a knife, knocking Rong Chen unconscious.
His idea was very simple, thinking that if Rong Chen fainted, it would not hurt! Before Rong Chen fainted, there was a puzzled look in his eyes, wondering why this guy wanted to knock him out.
It was because he had not been on guard against Jianning that he was ambushed by Yu Jianning.
Yu Jianning dragged Rong Chen to the bed with great effort, tearing the wound on his body, causing him to grimace in pain.
"As heavy as a dead pig!" Yu Jianning kept complaining to Rong Chen.
Rong Chen fainted and no one argued with him anymore. For a moment he felt a little empty and his wound hurt even more.
…
The next day was a rare day of good weather. It rained all night last night, and the air smelled particularly fresh today.
Shu Wan has packed up and is ready to enter the palace. She wants to find Emperor Chi Yan and get the truth about Rong Chen's poisoning.
But just as she was about to leave, Yu Jianning walked in with a happy face.
"Shu Wan!" he called out carelessly.
Shu Wan raised his eyes and glared at Yu Jianning.
"Princess Shuyin!" Yu Jianning understood what he meant and quickly pretended to change his words.
At that time, Xiaoju had just brought in a bowl of soup for Shu Wan from outside. When she heard Yu Jianning addressing Shu Wan, she was stunned for a moment, but did not think much about it, thinking that she might have been overthinking.
"What's the matter?" Shu Wan asked him expressionlessly.
"The weather is very nice today, why don't we go for an outing in the suburbs!" Yu Jianning said with a smile, which made Shu Wan's scalp tingle.
"No." Shu Wan refused decisively. She still had things to do and she had to go to the palace today.
"But I've already made an appointment with Rong Chen!" Yu Jianning was anxious, "He asked me to come and call you, let's go out and have some fun, I think this might help Rong Chen recover his memory." He looked at Shu Wan pleadingly, his words contradicting themselves.
"Okay!" Shu Wan stared at him for a while, then finally agreed.
Yu Jianning: …
So sad!
Myocardial infarction!
So the group went out happily!
Of course, we have to ignore the dissatisfied look on Rong Chen's face last night because he was knocked unconscious by Yu Jianning. The back of his neck is still hurting.
We also have to ignore Yu Jianning, who felt guilty for tricking Shu Wan out.
We must also ignore Shu Wan, who is preoccupied with his life and only wants to enter the palace and has no intention of traveling.
What's more, you should ignore the one who is chasing after you, Wang Yuwenyan, for some unknown reason.
!!!!
The scenery in the suburbs is very beautiful, but it is greatly reduced because of Yuwen Yan's arrival.
Moreover, because of the followers he brought with him, Shu Wan, who was already uninterested, completely lost his mood. From beginning to end, his frown never relaxed.
It was a kind of dislike for Yuwen Yan that came from the inside out and could not be concealed.
She sat under the willow tree, staring at the lake in a daze.
"What are you looking at?" Rong Chen noticed her emotions and sat down next to Shu Wan.
"Look at the fish in the water!" Shu Wan pointed at the river with a forced smile, "The sunlight is reflecting off the water, making it sparkle. Even these fish look good. Do you know why they are so happy and at ease?"
"Why?" Rong Chen asked.
"Because they only have seven seconds of memory!" Shu Wan smiled, "The troubles of the last moment are forgotten in the next second, how great!"
"But that's why they are different from humans. We humans have all kinds of memories when we're alive, no matter they are painful or happy. In this way, our lives are meaningful. Although these fish don't have their previous memories and have no more troubles, at the same time, they have also forgotten a lot of happiness, people and things. They don't even know the meaning of their own lives. I think such a life without any ripples is like a stagnant pool of water. It's boring, too boring!" Rong Chen comforted her seriously.
"You do have some truth in what you said!" Shu Wan glanced sideways, her eyes sparkling, "You can associate a fish with a person's life. I almost thought you were a philosopher!" She seemed to feel much better than before.
"If the princess thinks what I said makes sense, then you can discuss it with me more often in the future!" Rong Chen smiled, "Or, if the princess wants to catch the fish in the river and grill it, I am willing to help!" He said in a rather slick way.
"Why do I suddenly feel that, in the eyes of the national teacher, the purpose of those fish's lives is to fill people's stomachs?" Shu Wan asked with a smile.
"I think it would be an honor for those fish to be eaten by the princess!"
