Chapter 495: Closeness (Update 1)
Awkward.
Very embarrassing. .
How fleeting and quick must the encounter have been that Xiaowu missed it just by taking a nap?
This is not the way to build relationships.
Ye Chutang didn't believe that this Prince Jing really knew she had come to the capital on the first day.
After all, he is a prince. Even if he is not favored, he has no shortage of servants.
There is no way that I know her identity today.
However, if the other party wanted to act, she was happy to cooperate.
Ye Chutang smiled and said, "Your Highness is in a hurry. He must be in a hurry. We won't waste your time."
As she spoke, she raised her hand and asked the groom to continue to step back.
Xiao Chenglin's lips moved slightly, and finally he nodded: "Okay. Then when I have time later, I will visit the Ye Mansion in person."
After saying that, the carriage from Prince Jing's Mansion continued to move forward.
Ye Chutang looked back and it seemed to be the direction of the imperial palace.
When the surroundings quieted down, Ye Chutang tilted his head and asked, "Is there something wrong in the palace?"
Chen Yanchuan was amazed at her sharpness again, but he did not hide it: "The Second Prince's case is still under investigation. One of the witnesses may be related to the accidental leg injury of Prince Jing."
Ye Chutang understood instantly—Emperor Mu Wu was becoming suspicious.
"So, this Second Prince is really unlucky."
Troubles kept coming to him, and now even an old case from many years ago was put on his head.
This is clearly intended to kill him.
Of course, it is not certain that Xiao Chenglin's leg was really broken by Xiao Chengxuan.
Even if Xiao Chengxuan had great abilities, he couldn't escape this time.
No matter how unfavored Xiao Chenglin was, he was still the blood of Emperor Mu Wu. Fighting against one's own family and being ambitious were the biggest taboos for the emperor.
If all this were true, no matter how much affection Emperor Mu Wu had for his son, it would probably disappear.
Shen Yanchuan paused: "Do you know Xiao Chenglin?"
Ye Chutang nodded: "Didn't the prince hear everything just now?"
Shen Yanchuan raised his eyebrows, obviously not satisfied with this answer.
Ye Chutang sighed inwardly.
She also didn't expect that the injured runaway boy she just rescued turned out to be the current Prince Jing.
Ye Chutang recalled what had just happened, and an even stronger intuition arose in his heart - this His Royal Highness Prince Jing might not be someone he could easily mess with.
"Is the Crown Prince familiar with Prince Jing?"
Shen Yanchuan shook his head.
He had been in the northern border in the past few years, and during the few years he stayed in Beijing, he did not have much contact with Xiao Chenglin.
"After his leg injury, he moved out of the palace and rarely left the house."
If Chen Songshi and others had not mentioned it today, Emperor Mu Wu would probably have forgotten that he had this son.
Ye Chutang understood.
Shen Yanchuan took a few steps forward and came to the front of the carriage.
"It's been a bit unreliable these days, so you need to be more careful."
Ye Chutang's heart moved, and she looked up and looked at him with a smile.
"Isn't the Emperor's feet the safest place?"
When their eyes met, there seemed to be ripples in Chen Yanchuan's eyes.
After a moment, he nodded slightly.
"yes."
…
Xiao Chenglin lowered the curtain and retracted his gaze.
However, the scene just now kept appearing in my mind.
——Chen Yanchuan and Ye Chutang were looking at each other from a distance across the intersection. There was clearly a considerable distance between them, yet they were inexplicably close, making people feel as if there was an invisible aura around them that separated them from the people around them.
Even though they only exchanged a few words, the intimacy and trust between them was something that no one else could match.
The smile on Xiao Chenglin's face gradually faded, and his handsome face seemed to be frozen by frost and snow.
"Is Chen Yanchuan very close to her?"
