Chapter 96 The Third Prince Arrives
Ye Wanning was taken aback. What was Su Wenliang doing here? She glanced at Cui'er, "Cui'er, you..."
"Royal sister-in-law!"
Before Ye Wanning could finish speaking, she heard a deep male voice coming from the doorway, and she frowned slightly in displeasure.
"Sister..." Seeing Ye Wanning suddenly stop talking, Cui'er asked, "What do you want me to do?"
"No need," Ye Wanning said in a deep voice. She looked at Su Wenliang, who was walking towards her from the doorway, and smiled politely. "What brings the Third Prince here?"
Su Wenliang smiled and said, "I've come to see my elder brother, the Emperor."
Ye Wanning pursed her lips and said calmly, "He's resting in his room." Then she turned around and said, "I'll take you there now."
"Royal Sister-in-law!" Seeing Ye Wanning turn around, Su Wenliang immediately reached out and grabbed Ye Wanning's hand. He said with a grin, "What's the rush, Royal Sister-in-law?"
Ye Wanning's eyes darkened. She still vividly remembered what Su Wenliang had done to her before. Now... Ye Wanning lowered her head and said in a low voice, "Third Prince, you are joking. Didn't you come to see Wenzhen this time? Why is it a rush for me to take you there?"
Ye Wanning turned her head to look at Su Wenliang. She gently pushed away Su Wenliang's hand that was holding her. "Let's hurry over. Ziwenzhen will be sleeping soon, and we don't want to disturb him."
"That's right." Su Wenliang smiled, subtly withdrawing his hand without seeming embarrassed. He raised an eyebrow and said, "Then please take me there quickly, Sister-in-law!"
Along the way, Cui'er followed behind the two men, feeling rather nervous, afraid that something might go wrong. Her young mistress had been harassed by this man at the back gate of the Prince's mansion before, and he probably still had designs on her ever since. She looked up and secretly glanced at Su Wenliang, hoping that he wouldn't do anything improper today.
"Today, Your Majesty is not dressed as a man, but this maid beside you..." Perhaps because it was too quiet, Su Wenliang suddenly spoke up. He glanced at Cui'er following behind them, a smile playing on his lips, "What is the purpose of this disguise as a man?"
Ye Wanning paused, but did not turn around. She continued walking and replied softly, "It's nothing important. It's just that Cui'er is a woman, and she's beautiful. I was afraid she would run into lecherous men if I asked her to go out on business, so I had her dress up like this."
"Your Majesty's sister-in-law is very thoughtful." Su Wenliang nodded, but suddenly stopped and grabbed Ye Wanning. "Your Majesty's sister-in-law, it's been several days since I last saw you. You look thinner."
Ye Wanning was startled. She looked around in a panic, but seeing no one else, her eyes darkened, and her voice was filled with anger, "What are you doing! Su Wenliang, let me go!"
"I won't let go." Su Wenliang smiled, but then it felt as if someone was grabbing his clothes from behind. He turned his head and saw Cui'er pulling him. "What are you doing!" Su Wenliang roared.
Cui'er blushed, but showed no intention of letting go. "Let go of my princess!"
"You little brat, you've got some nerve! Has your master spoiled you rotten?" Su Wenliang frowned, released his right hand, and was about to raise his hand to slap Cui'er when his hand was unexpectedly grabbed tightly.
Su Wenliang was taken aback. He turned his head and saw that Ye Wanning had turned around at some point, panting and gripping his right forearm tightly. Because of her height, Ye Wanning couldn't reach him and could only lean against him. The scene was incredibly ambiguous. Su Wenliang was stunned. Looking at Ye Wanning leaning against him, he couldn't help but smile with amusement. "Sister-in-law, are you in such a hurry?"
"Let go!" Ye Wanning didn't reply, but frowned and roared angrily.
"Very well, very well." Su Wenliang withdrew his right hand, but turned around and hugged Ye Wanning in his arms. "I am so happy that my sister-in-law has thrown herself into my arms!"
"Disgusting!" Ye Wanning frowned, unable to move as Su Wenliang held her captive. "Su Wenliang, do you have no sense of morality or ethics?! I'm your sister-in-law!"
Su Wenliang raised an eyebrow but didn't let go. "So what? Hasn't Your Majesty heard the saying, 'A fair maiden is sought after by a gentleman'? Your Majesty is such a beautiful woman, who wouldn't be moved by her..."
Before he could finish speaking, a muffled thud was heard, followed by a sharp pain in the back of his head. Su Wenliang immediately released his grip and turned around to see Cui'er standing behind him with a wooden stick, looking panicked. "How dare you!"
"It's you who's got the nerve!" Ye Wanning, freed from her predicament, immediately shielded Cui'er behind her, glaring fiercely at Su Wenliang. "Shameless bastard!"
The pain in the back of his head hadn't subsided, and Su Wenliang felt dizzy. He rubbed his forehead uncomfortably, "I..."
"Do you have anything else to say!" Ye Wanning stared, her face filled with anger. "Su Wenliang, you are so reckless. Do you really think I wouldn't dare to speak to your imperial brother?"
Ye Wanning gritted her teeth, "Believe it or not, if Wen Zhen finds out about this, you can forget about ever returning to Duyang City!"
"I'm only doing what I desire." Su Wenliang looked up at Ye Wanning, his eyes filled with desire. "What wrong have I done!" He said sternly, "If my sister-in-law wants to say something, then say it. I, Su Wenliang, have never been afraid of anyone."
As he spoke, Su Wenliang chuckled, "If you were to say it, it would truly be exactly what I wanted. I was just wondering how to bring it up with my imperial brother!" Su Wenliang's lips curled into a smile, "If my sister-in-law brings it up, I'll have a perfectly legitimate reason to do so in the future..."
He looked at Ye Wanning with burning eyes, "If my brother really has the ability to keep me outside Duyang City in the future, I'm not afraid!" A cruel smile appeared on Su Wenliang's lips, "At that time, I will still try my best to get my sister-in-law out of Duyang City, and from then on, she will be confined to my side, unable to go anywhere!"
"How dare you speak so arrogantly!" Upon hearing this, Ye Wanning was furious, her body trembling. "Su Wenliang! You!"
"Your Highness, the Third Prince?"
Suddenly, a questioning voice came from behind.
Ye Wanning was startled and turned her head, only to find Ning Wanzhi suddenly walking towards them. She panicked and her face turned pale. "What are you doing here?"
"I was just passing by when I heard a commotion and came to check..." Ning Wanzhi frowned, but saw Su Wenliang lying on the ground clutching his head. Ye Wanning was pale and her clothes were disheveled. She guessed what was going on and pursed her lips, glancing at Su Wenliang lying on the ground. "It has been a long time since I've seen the Third Prince. The Third Prince should be more careful in the future and make sure he doesn't fall down next time."
As she spoke, she stepped forward and helped Su Wenliang up, then smiled at Ye Wanning, "Your Highness is really something. The Third Prince fell down and you didn't even help him up. If others saw this, they would laugh at the Third Prince."
"It was my fault." Ye Wanning pursed her lips, her voice somewhat stiff.
"It's no wonder, Your Majesty. It all happened so suddenly, and you just got here. It's been a long time since I've seen you." Su Wenliang smiled at Ning Wanzhi and changed the subject, asking, "How have you been at the Prince's residence?"
"The prince's men are indeed very kind." Ning Wanzhi smiled, then looked at Ye Wanning, "I wonder where the Third Prince is going, Your Highness?"
"I was thinking of going to see my brother, the Emperor." Su Wenliang smiled somewhat embarrassedly and looked at the sky. "However, it's getting late today, and I'm afraid my brother is already resting. I'll come another day."
“Indeed.” Ning Wanzhi pursed her lips. “However, I haven’t seen the Third Prince for a long time. I wonder if it would be possible to have a cup of tea and chat with the Third Prince?” Ning Wanzhi smiled shyly. “When the Third Prince brought me here some time ago, I treated him like family. Now that we’ve met again, we feel unusually close!”
Su Wenliang paused for a moment, then nodded without saying anything.
Seeing Su Wenliang nod, Ning Wanzhi smiled, then looked at Ye Wanning and asked, "I wonder if the Princess Consort could come along?"
Ye Wanning lowered her eyes. If she refused now, it would seem too deliberate. After a moment of silence, Ye Wanning nodded, "Okay."
