Chapter 367 I am afraid of disappointing the princess's kindness
Lan Xiyue frowned and looked at them, "You two girls, why are you not sleeping so late at night? What are you doing there?"
Chuchun and Chuxia looked at each other, lowered their heads, and said in voices as thin as mosquitoes: "We are worried about the young lady."
"I'm fine, what's there to worry about?"
Chuchun couldn't help but sniffle, her eyes slightly red: "Miss, we didn't even realize that the third lady was impersonating you, wu... are you okay?" Her voice was a little choked, and she was obviously still brooding over this matter.
Lan Xiyue reached out her hand and gently stroked Chuchun's hair, her eyes full of tenderness: "Be good, don't cry, I'm fine."
Chu Xia felt even more aggrieved, tears welling up in her eyes as she choked and said, "How could the Third Miss be so mean? She actually pretended to be Miss and wanted to replace Miss. Fortunately, Miss is fine, otherwise this servant would not be able to live."
Chu Xia glanced at Lan Xiyue, curled her lips, and complained, "Miss, the Third Miss pretended to be you and slapped me."
Lan Xiyue's eyes darkened slightly. "I have avenged our Xia Xia. She will no longer exist. This is the fate of those who dare to bully my Xia Xia."
Chu Xia was shocked when she heard this, and the tears in her eyes froze instantly: "Miss... Third Miss?"
Lan Xiyue didn't answer directly, but said in a deep voice: "Don't mention her again in the future, you guys go down and rest."
Chu Xia wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said hesitantly, "Miss, how about I keep watch?"
Lan Xiyue smiled, a smile that was filled with helplessness. "Silly girl, why are you keeping watch all night? If an assassin really came, you wouldn't be able to detect it. Well, An Yi and the others are here, you two can go down and rest."
Chuchun and Chuxia nodded, and they retreated, looking back every few steps.
Lan Xiyue called out, "An Yi!"
A dark figure flashed out from the darkness, came to the window, half-knelt down, and whispered, "Princess!"
Lan Xiyue stood by the window, eyes narrowed slightly, "What are you doing? Get up."
An Yi knelt on the ground, head bowed, his voice trembling slightly: "Damn this subordinate! I didn't even realize that Lan Jiaoyun was pretending to be the princess, putting her in great danger."
Lan Xiyue's eyes swept over An Yi lightly, her tone casual yet sharp: "What? Do you want me to say it again?"
An Yi slowly stood up, still with his head lowered, not daring to look directly at Lan Xiyue.
Seeing An Yi like this, Lan Xiyue couldn't help but feel a nameless anger rising in her heart: "Did Mo Liyuan punish you?"
An Yi quickly shook his head, his voice even deeper: "No, Princess."
Lan Xiyue snorted coldly, "Liar!"
An Yi finally looked up, quickly glanced at Lan Xiyue, and then lowered his head again, "Princess, the master really didn't punish me. It was my own fault for not realizing that Lan Jiaoyun was pretending to be the princess. I deserve to die!"
Lan Xiyue sighed, took out a bottle of high-quality medicine from her bosom, and threw it to An Yi: "Here, this is for you."
An Yi caught the porcelain bottle, his eyes lit up instantly, and his voice was filled with gratitude: "Thank you, Princess."
Lan Xiyue took out a thick stack of banknotes from her bosom and handed it to An Yi: "Go find Yun Lei's body and bury him properly."
An Yi was stunned, "Yun Lei... I will go find his body right away." After he finished speaking, he took the banknote, bowed, and disappeared into the night in a flash.
Lan Xiyue stared at the dark sky, feeling a mixture of emotions. She suddenly felt like she had truly merged into this world, and everything in her past and present lives seemed like a dream.
After a long time, Lan Xiyue yawned. She closed the window, turned and walked to the bed, took off her coat, shoes and socks, lay down, closed her eyes and rested.
The next morning, the sky was just beginning to turn pale, and Lan Xiyue was soundly asleep, playing chess with Zhou Gong, having a great time.
There was a knock on the door, followed by Chu Xia's call: "Miss, Miss, Princess Nalan is here."
Lan Xiyue frowned slightly and muttered unhappily, "Don't disturb my sleep, princess." After that, she turned over, as if to isolate herself from the disturbing sound and continue to immerse herself in her own dreams.
Chu Xia, who was outside the door, shook her head helplessly upon hearing this. At this moment, Chu Chun quietly walked over, her eyes swept across the tightly closed door, and she asked in a low voice, "Miss, are you still awake?"
Chu Xia shook her head slightly, with a look of helplessness on her face.
Chuchun sighed softly and whispered, "There's no other way. I can only ask the princess to wait a little longer. Nothing is more important than the young lady's sleep. You wait here." After saying that, Chuchun turned and left.
A moment later, Chuchun came to the hall with exquisite tea and snacks and placed them on the tea table next to Nalan Mei.
She bowed and said in a gentle and apologetic voice, "Princess, our young lady went to bed late last night and is still asleep."
Nalan Mei sat upright on the chair. The maid beside her saw this and was about to complain, but was stopped by Nalan Mei with a gentle wave of her hand.
"No problem!" Nalan Mei smiled slightly. "I was presumptuous for not sending you the visiting card in advance. It's okay for me to wait."
Chuchun bowed again and then withdrew.
In the hall, Nalan Mei quietly sipped her tea, while a maidservant beside her whispered, "Princess, this Miss Lan..."
Nalan Mei glared at the maid and signaled her not to say anything more. She came here to build a good relationship with Lan Xiyue, so what's wrong with waiting a while?
However, Nalan Mei didn't expect that she would have to wait for the entire morning, and her patience was almost exhausted.
Just then, Lan Xiyue finally walked in slowly.
Lan Xiyue walked to the side and sat down. "I'm sorry, I slept too late last night and kept you waiting for so long. I wonder why you came to my house?"
Although Nalan Mei had some complaints in her heart, she had to smile. "Your wedding to my uncle is in three days. If you think about it carefully, after your wedding, I will have to call you my aunt. Last time, it was Wen Lingling who instigated me, and I did offend her. I hope Miss Lan will be magnanimous and not blame me. Today, I have specially prepared a generous gift to come and apologize to you."
Lan Xiyue's brows remained calm as before when she heard this, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. "I have long forgotten what happened last time. Princess, there is no need to be so polite, and there is no need to deliberately apologize."
Nalan Mei was delighted and quickly struck while the iron was hot: "It's almost noon, so I will be the host. Let's go to the restaurant and have lunch together. It can be regarded as my small token of my gratitude for my previous mistake."
Lan Xiyue shook her head. "No need. My maid has already prepared lunch. I'm afraid I'd be letting the princess down."
