"Go and knock on the door." Fan Chengzhuo suppressed the strong uneasiness in his heart and gave the order.
The driver responded and walked over and knocked on the door.
However, no one answered after a long while.
The driver turned back hesitantly, "Sir, this..."
Squeak——
Just then, the door was finally opened from the inside.
A servant yawned and poked his head out from behind the door. He looked them up and down and said impatiently, "My prince is not feeling well. He is closing the door and will not see anyone. Please go back!"
The driver was stopped and forced to return before he could even introduce himself, and he choked.
Fan Chengzhuo started to cough quietly, and finally suppressed it. He then spoke, "Please help pass on the message that Fan Chengzhuo has an urgent matter to ask for an audience with His Royal Highness Prince Jing. I hope--"
"Didn't you hear me? I told you that Your Highness will not see anyone today!"
The servant obviously didn't take Fan Chengzhuo seriously. After saying that, he slammed the door without saying anything - bang!
The driver was startled and was about to explode, but then he remembered that this was Prince Jing's residence after all, so he had to hold it in. He had to grit his teeth and complain in a low voice, "...You are such a bully! You really think you are so powerful!"
He turned around and came to the carriage, cursing, "Sir, they won't let us in, why don't we go back?"
After all, he is a prince. No matter how dissatisfied he is, he has to endure it, right?
Fan Chengzhuo was extremely anxious.
Feeling unwell?
How could it be such a coincidence that just as Zheng Baosu was escorted back to the capital, Prince Jing closed his door to visitors!
Before coming, Fan Chengzhuo had thought that Prince Jing might not help him, but when the moment really came, he realized what true despair was.
——He refused to even see me!
Fan Chengzhuo stared at the closed door, his face pale.
The driver saw that he looked unwell and couldn't help but worry, "Sir, sir? You don't look well, are you feeling unwell again? Why don't you go see a doctor first--"
"Go to the Mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery." Fan Chengzhuo said word by word.
The driver was stunned. "What?"
Fan Chengzhuo suddenly shouted, "I say! Go to the Loyal and Brave Marquis's Mansion! Now!"
His face was originally very pale, and now his expression was so fierce and ferocious that it actually frightened people.
The driver was frightened and didn't dare to say anything to refute. He just nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes!"
As he said this, he jumped onto the carriage, grabbed the reins and shook them violently.
"drive!"
…
The carriage left quickly, and the quietness outside Prince Jing's Mansion returned to its usual state.
Inside the mansion, Xiao Chenglin was pruning flower branches in the courtyard.
The weather in March is warm and gentle, and the flowers and plants in the yard are gradually growing lush.
However, at this moment, his handsome face was filled with cold indifference.
The attendant quickly came over and bowed his head and said, "Your Highness, he is gone."
Xiao Chenglin stopped and looked back, his eyes were emotionless, like ice.
After a long while, he opened his lips and uttered two words coldly.
"idiot."
The attendant hesitated for a moment and said, "He is indeed confused, but Zheng Baosu is after all..."
Xiao Chenglin raised his eyelids.
The attendant was immediately startled and quickly fell silent.
Xiao Chenglin picked up a pair of scissors from the side and continued to trim the growing branches.
He didn't say anything. The courtyard was so quiet that the only sound was the crisp sound of branches being cut.
Finally, the attendant couldn't help but speak again, "Your Highness, are you really not going to the palace?"
Crash—bang!
Xiao Chenglin suddenly flicked his sleeves, and the pot of flowers that had almost been trimmed suddenly fell to the ground and shattered. (End of this chapter)
