Chapter 547: Avoiding Her
Fu Zhaoning originally thought that she would wake up very early. After all, it was the first time she slept in the same room with Xiao Lanyuan in half a year, so she had trouble sleeping.
She didn't expect that when she opened her eyes, it was already bright outside.
This was later than she usually went to bed.
She thought of something and immediately got up from the bed and looked towards the couch.
The quilt was folded and placed there neatly, but Xiao Lanyuan was nowhere to be seen.
Fu Zhaoning called out, "Xiaoqin?"
Xiaoqin pushed the door open immediately.
"Miss, are you awake?"
"What about him?"
"Prince Jun? I don't know. When I came here a long time ago, Prince Jun was no longer here."
She knew that Xiao Lanyuan was not in the room because the door was slightly ajar. She took a look inside and was wondering if Prince Jun was inside when Eleven came over and said, "The prince has gotten up."
She didn't dare ask more.
That means Prince Jun slept in the young lady's room last night.
Xiao Qin saw the quilt on the couch and wondered if Prince Jun had slept on this couch last night. Prince Jun was so tall, and this couch was not as long as him. Wouldn't it be unfair for him to sleep here?
Is such a scary man really willing to humble himself and curl up on such a soft couch?
Aren’t they a nice couple?
She kept thinking, if the young lady turned around in the middle of the night and saw Prince Jun's face, would she be very frightened?
Fu Zhaoning frowned.
"Please comb my hair."
"yes."
After washing up, Baihu came over.
"Have you seen Prince Jun?"
"Miss, Prince Jun went out and said he had something to do today, so he told you. He also told the master."
"You have something to do so early in the morning?"
"yes."
"Did he say anything?" Although Fu Zhaoning asked this, he also knew that Xiao Lanyuan would not tell Baihu and the others what he was going to do.
Sure enough, Baihu said he didn't know.
Fu Zhaoning couldn't help wondering if Xiao Lanyuan was avoiding her. After all, she had said before going to bed last night that she would save his face today.
He wouldn't avoid it because of this, would he?
If this is true——
She might be so angry that she died.
Fu Zhaoning hasn't even told him that she has found some medicinal herbs that can remove scars. If he is really avoiding her, she doesn't want to tell him!
She went to the front yard, where Shen Xuan was waiting for her for breakfast.
"Did you find the remaining assassins last night?" Fu Zhaoning asked.
"We didn't find them. We searched the whole city all night, and there was a lot of noise outside. But the two people we caught alive yesterday also committed suicide by taking poison."
Fu Zhaoning looked at Shen Xuan and was a little worried. "Uncle, has something happened?"
Shen Xuan didn't look well.
It looked like something had happened.
"In the prison, when we were interrogating the two assassins last night, they mentioned a place. Barbarian City."
"Barbarian city?"
Fu Zhaoning suddenly realized what was going on. "I remember you said that my uncle is in Mancheng."
"Yes." Shen Xuan's expression was a little solemn.
"Uncle, do you think this matter will be brought to the attention of my eldest uncle?" Fu Zhaoning immediately understood and his expression became serious.
If this is true, it will be even more difficult for Shen Qiong to clear the charges and return to the Shen family.
No wonder Shen Xuan looked so ugly today.
"right."
Shen Xuan picked up a bun for her and said, "Don't think too much about it. I'll take care of it. Have breakfast first."
"In my uncle's opinion, is it possible for my eldest uncle to--"
"No."
Shen Xuan denied it before he even finished listening to her words.
"I'm not saying what my uncle will do, I'm saying whether he has some plans to save himself. He should also want to return to the Shen family."
If Shen Qiong did something, even if it was not to deal with the emperor, but just to clear the name on him and return to the imperial capital, he would most likely be charged with a crime.
The assassin confessed to Mancheng. If it was somehow connected to any of Shen Qiong's actions, Shen Qiong would have trouble clearing himself.
After all, the emperor didn't want him to come back.
It is very likely that by that time, even your life will be gone.
"He won't." Shen Xuan shook his head. "You don't know your uncle. He's not that kind of person. He has some literary spirit."
What Fu Zhaoning actually wanted to say was that Shen Xuan and Shen Qiong had been separated for so many years, and people would change in different environments. No one knew what Shen Qiong would encounter in Mancheng, what kind of life he would live, and whether his temperament would change drastically.
But she also believed in Shen Xuan. Since Shen Xuan was so confident in the Shen Qiong he knew, she had no choice but to believe him.
"But now that we've mentioned Barbarian City, will the emperor immediately think of my uncle?"
"meeting."
Shen Xuan was also very sure.
The emperor had always wanted to be attacked by the Shen family, and if he got another chance now, he would definitely not let it go.
"Then uncle——"
"It's okay. Our people are also looking for the assassin. Besides, there is also the variable of Princess Fuyun."
"variable?"
Fu Zhaoning remembered the appearance of Princess Fuyun.
"You also have to be prepared. There will definitely be a lot of people who want to find you."
Fu Zhaoning was so brave and outstanding yesterday when the princess was assassinated, and she also saved people. Someone will definitely look for her.
"I was wearing a mask yesterday. Luckily my uncle prepared that mask for me, so no one should be able to recognize me."
Except Situ Bai.
If Situ Bai saw her, he would be able to recognize her. But wasn't Situ Bai trying to attract the princess's attention?
His focus now should be on Princess Fuyun.
"Don't go out these two days, just rest at home."
"good."
Shen Xuan looked at her, "But have you ever asked about the purpose of Prince Jun coming to Dahe?"
"No."
"Why did he rush over so anxiously when the princess was assassinated yesterday? Have you ever asked this?" Shen Xuan was still upset about Xiao Lanyuan's behavior yesterday.
“No.”
Shen Xuan sighed and looked at Fu Zhaoning with a bit of disappointment.
"Is he here for you?"
"Uncle, I don't know that either."
Fu Zhaoning thought, that’s not the case. Why come here for him?
If he came for her, why didn't he even meet her after picking her up from Situ Bai on the first day? Why was his attitude so bad?
He didn't look for her after she left, but the next day he dressed up and went to see Princess Fuyun.
Could it be that he came here just for Princess Fuyun?
Shen Xuan shook his head. "How can you be so careless about your own affairs? What do you and Prince Jun think? The two of you should have a plan. Princess Jun, if you don't want to do it, you don't have to do it. There's no need to waste your life like this."
