"Elder Dong, I haven't seen this young master before."
After a long while, the butler chuckled and asked.
"Oh, this is my assistant, and also a friend. Well, he and Yi Shi Liao are quite close."
Mr. Dong spoke frankly and without reservation.
After all, on that day, on the autumn examination viewing platform, Yu Qingyi pulled Xie Lingqin, who was dressed as a man, up to the platform, and many people had seen him before.
"Judging from this young master's handsome appearance and refined manners, could he be the one the young master has fallen for?"
The butler stopped speaking as if realizing he had spoken out of turn.
Xie Lingqin chuckled.
It seems that Yu Qingyi's reputation for having a penchant for the same thing will be impossible to shake off until he gets married.
I wonder if Nie Zuier is smiling so hard her eyes are squinting as she listens to these stories now.
Meeting the butler's gaze, Xie Lingqin smiled and nodded, neither denying nor admitting it.
The more you say about this, the more mistakes you make; she was doing it for Yu Qingyi's own good.
Although she had broken up with the Crown Prince, Yuwen Yao was Yuwen Yao and Yu Qingyi was Yu Qingyi, and she could tell the difference clearly.
"Butler, this road doesn't seem to lead to the backyard..." As they walked through the corridors and courtyards, Old Master Dong suddenly looked at the butler with a puzzled expression.
Upon hearing this, the steward lowered his head and gave an awkward smile. "To tell you the truth, my master has been having nightmares lately. To avoid others becoming suspicious if they find out, I said that someone in the backyard is sick. Please forgive me, Master Dong."
"Oh, I understand." Old Master Dong waved his hand, not seeming to care much, and exchanged pleasantries with the steward.
Xie Lingqin looked at the housekeeper, her mind racing with thoughts.
It seems that Yuwen Xian has indeed resolved the matter. However, it's unclear what went wrong. Could the confinement have been too much of a blow, causing him to develop depression? That seems unlikely.
Could it be...
After walking along a long, quiet path, the butler led them into an extremely luxurious courtyard.
The autumn wind was bleak, and Xie Lingqin felt a chill run down her spine. There were quite a few guards in this courtyard, though no one was around.
"Please, Mr. Dong."
They went straight into the main house, where the curtain separating the inner and outer rooms was drawn, revealing the shadowy figures inside.
"It is my great honor to have invited Elder Dong."
Yuwen Xian's voice came from inside the room, but he sounded noticeably weak and lacked energy.
At the same time, maids stepped forward and pulled back the curtain.
Old Master Dong walked in.
"I wonder where Your Highness's foot is uncomfortable?" Old Master Dong asked as he sat down.
Yuwen Xian glanced at Xie Lingqin, who was still standing to the side, his eyes sharp as a hawk's, "This young master..."
"I am Yan She. I had the honor of meeting the Prince Xian once during the autumn examination, on that platform," Xie Lingqin introduced herself calmly.
"Yes, he is also my assistant. He is quite skilled in medicine, so I brought him along."
"Oh, really?" Yuwen Xian was clearly wary.
After all, Yan She had been very close to Yu Qingyi before.
"I wonder what illness Your Highness suffers from? I and Elder Dong will examine Your Highness as soon as possible." Xie Lingqin asked politely, seemingly oblivious to the displeasure in Yuwen Xian's eyes.
this……
Upon thinking of this, Yuwen Xian's expression turned somewhat grim. However, he clearly still trusted Elder Dong and waved his hand, dismissing everyone in the room.
So mysterious?
Xie Lingqin became even more interested.
Until Yuwen Xian, with an embarrassed expression, explained the whole story.
Xie Lingqin's heart skipped a beat; it truly lit up.
