Chapter 701 Collaboration - Meeting
Seeing Lu Changqing deep in thought, the guard couldn't help but offer a reminder.
"Those people came for me."
Lu Changqing naturally didn't believe those people were robbers, but who exactly were they, and why did they attack Sun Ruojun?
As Lu Changqing pondered this, the guard exclaimed in alarm, "Then shouldn't His Highness be here at all?"
The guard was about to take Lu Changqing back when Lu Changqing stopped him.
"It's alright. Now that we're here, if someone really wanted to test us, they would have known I was here long ago."
After speaking, Lu Changqing glanced inside the room, then strode in and sat down.
"What is Your Highness doing?" the guard asked.
"Call all our men back. There's no need to look for them anymore!"
Lu Changqing's words puzzled the guards even more, but Lu Changqing did not explain and simply waited quietly in the courtyard.
After waiting for a day, Lu Changqing still hadn't received any news from Sun Ruoyun.
On the second day, the third day, and now it's almost the fourth day, Lu Changqing even claimed to be ill and hadn't attended court for several days, but still no one contacted him.
By the fifth day, Lu Changqing finally couldn't sit still any longer.
He initially guessed that someone had deliberately taken Sun Ruoyun away to see him.
But so many days have passed and there's still no news from the other party. Thinking of Sun Ruoyun, who has been out of contact, Lu Changqing gradually began to doubt whether he had made a wrong judgment.
The more Lu Changqing thought about it, the more afraid he became. He feared that his misjudgment would harm Sun Ruojun.
If something really happened to Sun Ruoyun these past few days, then even if he achieved his goal, what would be the point?
Thinking of this, Lu Changqing could no longer sit still and got up to go outside.
"Master?" the guard called out, and Lu Changqing ordered, "Gather all of us and search for Miss Sun's whereabouts."
Lu Changqing's expression was no longer as calm as before. Judging from his posture, he seemed determined not to give up until he found Sun Ruoyun.
At the Yun residence, Yun Yichen had people keep an eye on the small courtyard.
Over the next few days, Lu Changqing became increasingly impatient.
"Master, are we still not going to see him today?"
After hearing the report, Zhong Lin couldn't help but ask.
It's already the fifth day, and they've been waiting for five days as well, but Yun Yichen seems to have no idea about this at all.
Just when Zhong Lin thought Yun Yichen wouldn't react, Yun Yichen moved and said, "Let's go! Let's go see the Fourth Prince."
"Huh?" Zhong Lin was stunned.
"What? Don't you understand?"
Yun Yichen glanced at Zhong Lin, and Zhong Lin immediately stood up straight.
No, I understand.
After saying that, he followed Yun Yichen out of the study. Looking at Yun Yichen's back, Zhong Lin couldn't help but ask, "Master, why didn't you wait any longer this time?"
Previously, no matter what news came from the other side, Yun Yichen always said to wait, but now he is actually going to see the other party.
"Of course we can't wait any longer."
Yun Yichen answered and strode towards his and Gu Shuyan's Cuiwei Courtyard.
Before leaving, Yun Yichen changed his clothes. Seeing his completely different appearance, Gu Shuyan couldn't help but ask, "Husband, are you really planning to meet the Fourth Prince looking like this?"
The Fourth Prince is a cautious and prudent person, and he is a difficult one to deal with. If he finds out what Yun Yichen looks like, there is no guarantee that he won't cause some trouble.
"Has Shushu forgotten my other identity? If you try to use my appearance to your advantage, I'll only make you shoot yourself in the foot."
Yun Yichen's words carried a hint of wickedness, but it was precisely this wickedness that made people feel much more at ease.
"Then you'd better be extra careful. My child and I are waiting for you to come back."
As Gu Shuyan spoke, she touched her bulging belly. Seeing this, Yun Yichen also placed his hand on her stomach to feel the presence of the baby before turning around and leaving the room.
When Yun Yichen arrived at the courtyard, he saw the Fourth Prince coming out. Hearing the Fourth Prince's words, he couldn't help but interrupt, "Whom is Your Highness going to see?"
Lu Changqing recognized Yun Yichen's voice and was startled. He looked toward the source of the voice.
What caught the eye was not that unchanging crimson robe, but a figure dressed in white, with an incomparably handsome appearance, like a banished immortal.
"Your Excellency, the Grand Secretary?"
Lu Changqing felt a little lost, as everyone in the world was saying that the current prime minister was an ugly monster, but now an incomparably handsome man appeared before him.
Lu Changqing looked at Yun Yichen in disbelief, but after thinking about it more carefully, Lu Changqing suddenly became a little annoyed.
He had suspected that someone was trying to lure him out, but now it seems that he has been played by the other party all these days.
"What brings you here, sir?"
Even with Lu Changqing's good temper, the torment of the past few days had almost driven him to the brink of collapse. Just now, he even imagined that if Sun Ruoyun really got into trouble, he would not seek revenge for any great grudge, and let these people fight to the death.
But now, seeing Yun Yichen, he felt both angry and relieved.
The fact that Yun Yichen is able to appear now is enough to prove that Sun Ruojun is not in any danger, just as he guessed. At least Yun Yichen will not let anything really happen to her.
On the other hand, it also shows that his relationship with Sun Ruoyun has been exposed to Yun Yichen.
The reason he's coming to me now is definitely because he wants me to do something for him, and it won't be a good thing for me.
Lu Changqing frowned, and Yun Yichen narrowed his eyes slightly upon seeing this.
"Your Highness, would you mind having a word with me in private?"
Since both of them are outside now, they naturally have to be more cautious when they talk.
Upon hearing this, Lu Changqing glanced at the guard, then gestured to him before making a gesture of invitation to Yun Yichen.
The guard knew that Lu Changqing was not planning to look for Sun Ruoyun again, so he could only silently retreat and serve tea to the two of them.
"How is Ruoyun?"
After a period of recovery, Lu Changqing's anger had lessened when he spoke.
However, there was still a hint of resentment in her tone, which could be seen as her expressing dissatisfaction with Yun Yichen's behavior.
Yun Yichen hadn't uttered a sound since he sat down, but when Lu Changqing's first question was about Sun Ruoyun, his eyebrows involuntarily twitched slightly.
It seems he made the right bet. Lu Changqing treats Sun Ruoyun differently, at least more importantly than he imagined.
"Miss Sun and His Highness seem to have a very good relationship?"
Instead of answering Lu Changqing directly, Yun Yichen asked another unrelated question.
This is a test, but also a genuine inquiry.
Lu Changqing was taken aback upon hearing this, and a look of nostalgia appeared on his face as he thought of his friendship with Sun Ruoyun.
"When I was at my lowest and most desperate, she gave me hope and pulled me back from the abyss."
Lu Changqing had no intention of hiding anything. Now that Yun Yichen knew about their relationship, there was no point in hiding it anymore.
