In order to make full preparations.
Xie Fu had been deliberately using the same fragrance as Shangguan Yun since yesterday, and the clothes she wore today were also similar to hers.
So much so that Xiao Jue, who was under the influence of the drug, mistook her for Shangguan Yun.
Although Xie Fu was unwilling to be mistaken for another woman, she had no choice but to suppress her heartache and deliberately imitate Shangguan Yun's mannerisms, calling out softly:
“A-Jue…”
Xiao Jue's world was filled with confusion.
Upon suddenly hearing Shangguan Yun's intimate call to him, his heart skipped a beat, and he pulled the woman in his arms and fell onto the soft bed...
...
The third quarter of the hour of You (5-7 PM).
Shangguan Yun finally returned to the Prince's mansion under the escort of the guards.
She was extremely busy today.
In the morning, they provided free medical consultations in the city, and in the afternoon, braving the severe cold, they went outside the city to deliver food to the poor.
Even with the help of the palace guards, Shangguan Yun was still exhausted.
Before she could even put her feet on the ground, she heard from her maid that Xie Fu had caught a cold, so she hurriedly grabbed her medicine box and went to Zizhuyuan.
"Miss Xie, I heard from Huang Qi that you are ill. Let me take a look—"
When Shangguan Yun pushed open the bedroom door, her throat felt as if it had been suddenly and tightly gripped, and she immediately lost her voice!
The medicine box in his hand suddenly fell to the ground.
With a thud, it made a crisp sound on the ground.
Shangguan Yun's vision suddenly went black.
She stared in disbelief at the scene before her, not daring to blink. Only by holding onto the door could she barely manage to avoid fainting.
She wished it were all a dream...
“A-Jue, Miss Xie, you…”
Just then.
Xiao Jue finally opened his eyes on the bed.
He rubbed his throbbing head, and when he saw Shangguan Yun at the door, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes. He quickly got out of bed to greet her.
"Yun'er, you're finally back home—"
After getting out of bed, Xiao Jue noticed the difference in his body.
He was only wearing his undershirt?!
Meeting Shangguan Yun's heartbroken gaze, his heart tightened, and he slowly turned his head to look at the bed...
Xie Fu was lying on the bed!
Seemingly awakened by the sounds from the outside world, Xie Fu also "slowly woke up".
When she saw the man by the bed, she seemed quite frightened, pulling the blanket tighter around herself and shrinking into the corner of the bed. She bit her lower lip and timidly called out:
“Brother Jue…”
Xiao Jue was going completely crazy!
His memory only goes back to the moment he poured water for Xie Fu; his memory after that is completely blank!
Thinking about what might happen, a raging fire burned within him, and he questioned sharply:
"Xie Fu! How did I end up in your bed? What did you do to me?"
"Brother Jue, I didn't... This afternoon, you mistook me for Sister Yun... I wanted to stop you, but I caught a cold and couldn't move you, sob sob..."
It seems to be because of fear.
Xie Fu's hands, which were tightly wrapped around the blanket, suddenly lost their strength.
The corner of the blanket slowly slipped down, exposing her bare, rounded shoulders to the three people present.
Noticing their gazes, Xie Fu hurriedly pulled the blankets all over herself.
Because the range of motion was too large.
A bright red bloodstain was now completely visible on the bed sheet.
Shangguan Yun's eyes widened in shock!
She had initially held onto a sliver of hope...
Shangguan Yun could no longer hold back, tears streaming down her face as she covered her face and ran away crying.
"Yun'er!"
Xiao Jue had no time to spare.
He hurriedly dressed and chased after them.
Watching the two figures leave one after the other, Xie Fu's jealousy was almost overflowing!
Because I had a long day.
Shangguan Yun was caught up with after only a few steps. Xiao Jue grabbed her arm and pulled her into his arms, holding her tightly as he anxiously explained:
"Yun'er, please let me explain, I really don't know what happened..."
Xiao Jue had practiced martial arts for many years and was quite strong; Shangguan Yun could not break free from his embrace no matter what she did.
Tears welled up in her eyes again, and her voice was filled with sobs and grievance:
"Your Highness, there's no need for further words. As a prince, it's normal for you to have many women. It's I who am above my station. I will leave the palace now! Our marriage is off!"
A cold wind blew.
Xiao Jue was completely awake now, and the more he thought about it, the more something seemed wrong. He couldn't just listen to Xie Fu based on a single meeting.
He narrowed his eyes, his gaze resolute.
"Yun'er, I've said it before, you're the only one in my life. Our marriage isn't like my cousin's, where it was just arranged by my aunt and doesn't count. I begged Father Emperor for his approval before we agreed. How can we back out? Yun'er, I promise I'll find out the truth about this. Please give me another chance, okay?"
Shangguan Yun naturally knew.
Given her background, how difficult it must have been to get the Emperor to agree to their marriage...
Ultimately, I couldn't bear to do it.
She nodded slightly.
Her subtle movements did not escape Xiao Jue's eyes. He breathed a long sigh of relief and hugged the person in his arms tightly, feeling as if he had regained her.
...
Inside the hot pot restaurant.
Lin Yan looked at the unfamiliar maid in front of her, somewhat confused. She glanced at Xie Muqing beside her, and seeing that he also looked confused, she was even more puzzled.
"Why would Your Highness suddenly seek me out? Has something happened?"
The maidservant, who did not serve in the back courtyard, was naturally unaware of the specifics of what had happened and could only shake her head, answering honestly:
"This servant is not entirely sure either. The Prince's carriage is waiting outside. Miss Lin, you'll know once you go to the Prince's residence."
“Okay, I’ll take my husband with me.”
