Chapter 226 Are You a Rat?
After Xiao Lanyuan came in, he walked into the pavilion.
After such a long time, the charcoal fire here had gone out. He came in, took a look around, and immediately left.
Fu Zhaoning looked at him and suspected that he had noticed that there was medicine in the pavilion.
Otherwise, why did he suddenly step back when he approached the pavilion?
It's colorless and odorless, but it's quite impressive that he can sense it. It may be because he has been ill for a long time and has been poisoned many times, which makes him very sensitive to these things.
Fu Zhaoning originally thought that if he stayed in this pavilion all the time, she might have to detoxify him again.
A weak body like Xiao Lanyuan's cannot afford to be poisoned by this kind of poison. It will cause too much damage to his body.
Fortunately, he noticed it himself and just walked in and out. He seemed to come in to confirm something.
He searched around the yard again and then retreated.
Fu Zhaoning couldn't help but wonder, could it be that he came in just to find her?
Do you care about her that much?
She hurried out of the pharmacy and ran out of the yard quickly, but after thinking for a moment, she decided not to go to the gate.
There must be someone guarding the gate. Since Xiao Lanyuan came in, the Dragon Shadow Guards at the gate must not have withdrawn yet. If she leaves the gate now, she won't be able to tell where she is hiding.
Fu Zhaoning identified it carefully and quickly ran towards the back door.
She didn't plan to go out the back door directly, but instead planned to find a corner with a tree, climb it, and then climb over the wall to get out.
As she was running, she suddenly noticed someone, but the other person appeared suddenly, and she had no time to stop, and she crashed into the other person's arms.
“Boom!”
Fu Zhaoning covered his forehead and tried to get out of his arms, but his shoulders were grabbed and he couldn't move at all.
"Fu Zhaoning."
Xiao Lanyuan's voice was filled with a hint of depression.
"Your chest is so hard that it gives me a headache." Fu Zhaoning rubbed his forehead.
She was just wondering about his sick body, but she didn't expect to be slapped in the face when she turned around. Even though he was sick, his chest muscles were still very strong.
"Are you born in the year of the rat?" Xiao Lanyuan asked.
He grabbed her shoulders and looked her up and down, then spun her around and looked at her from behind. Seeing that she was fine and her clothes were properly dressed, with no suspicious signs of disarray, his heart sank back to where it was.
After he felt relieved, he began to feel suspicious.
Where is she hiding?
The Dragon Shadow Guard came in to look for her, and he also came in to look for her, but they couldn't find anyone at all. Then she suddenly appeared.
He glanced at the direction she had just come from. Wasn't that the same small courtyard as before?
"What's the rat sign?" Fu Zhaoning didn't understand what he meant.
"Did you dig a hole in Yuerong Tower and hide yourself?"
"You are the rat."
"Then where were you hiding? Didn't you hear me looking for you all over the building?"
"If I say I was too sleepy and fell asleep, would you believe it?" Fu Zhaoning blinked at him.
Xiao Lanyuan was so angry that he almost laughed, "Do you think I believe it or not?"
"It's okay to believe it." Fu Zhaoning muttered, and then he patted him on the head.
"You're going to kill me sooner or later."
Fu Zhaoning really didn't understand what Xiao Lanyuan said. How could he kill him?
She raised her head to look at Xiao Lanyuan, but he was wearing a mask, so she couldn't see his eyes or expression clearly. She only felt that his lips looked a little pale.
"You are tired, go back and rest."
Xiao Lanyuan pulled her along, and took her out of the courtyard wall and out of Yuerong Tower. He felt it was dirty there, so he didn't want her to stay there all the time.
When the people outside saw them come out, they greeted them with great surprise.
"My Lord, my Princess!"
"Princess, are you back?"
"Miss!" Xiao Tao also rushed over. But when she saw Fu Zhaoning's hand being held by Prince Jun, she quickly stopped and didn't dare to rush over again.
"Uh, I'm fine."
Seeing them like this, Fu Zhaoning felt a little embarrassed.
She saw Eleven kneeling on the ground again, her expression changed slightly, "Eleven, what are you doing?"
"Miss, I failed in my duty and put you in danger. I admit my guilt."
Eleven had been kneeling for a long time, not daring to move.
"stand up."
Fu Zhaoning asked him to stand up, but Eleven remained kneeling.
"How have you failed in your duty? I asked you to escort my cousin away. You just followed my orders. You have already fulfilled your duty. How have you failed in your duty?"
Fu Zhaoning didn't expect Xiao Lanyuan to punish Shiyi like this. Seeing that he was still kneeling without moving, he immediately pulled Xiao Lanyuan and said, "Tell him to get up. I told him to protect An Hao and come out. What's wrong with him listening to me? Or do you think I have no right to order him?"
"You are clearly trying to misinterpret my meaning."
Her last sentence made Xiao Lanyuan helpless, "His duty is to follow you and protect you. Apart from you, the safety of others has nothing to do with him."
"It is also his duty to obey my orders. Anyway, if you want to punish him, then I will take the punishment on his behalf." Fu Zhaoning looked at him without giving in.
Qingyi looked at Xiao Lanyuan, then at Fu Zhaoning. He felt that the relationship between the prince and the princess seemed a little different from before.
"Get up."
Xiao Lanyuan said to Eleven.
Eleven was also a little surprised. If something like this had happened in the past, the prince would have punished them as long as they were derelict in their duty. No one dared to plead for mercy, and it was useless to plead for mercy because this was the prince's bottom line.
But now the princess pleaded for him, and the prince listened?
"Thank you, my lord. Thank you, my princess."
Eleven stood up.
Fu Zhaoning felt that Xiao Lanyuan was quite smart. She had said before that she would call her Miss Fu, and Eleven had indeed always called her that. Now, in front of Xiao Lanyuan, he automatically and consciously called her Princess.
Fu Zhaoning turned her head to look at Yuerong Tower and was shocked to find that it was closed.
It seemed something else happened while she was sleeping.
Noticing her gaze, Xiao Lanyuan said calmly, "Until today's incident is fully investigated, Yuerong Tower will not be open."
"I heard that Madam Rongyue has a backer." Fu Zhaoning whispered to him.
Xiao Lanyuan looked at her deeply and asked her, "Do you know where she got this backing?"
"have no idea."
"I'll tell you when we get back to the palace."
Xiao Lanyuan pulled her into the carriage.
Xiao Tao and Chen Shan were all stunned, "Your Majesty..."
It’s getting late, shouldn’t their young lady go home?
"You go back to the Fu family and explain everything to Old Master Fu." Xiao Lanyuan turned around and gave an instruction, then dragged Fu Zhaoning into the carriage of the palace.
He has to get everything clear about today's events!
Besides, he had been so frightened today. If he let her go back to the Fu family like this, he would be at a great loss.
Fu Zhaoning was "arrested" and taken back to Prince Jun's Mansion.
