Not long after Xue Yurou left, she learned about the wedding from the servants; Uncle Li spread the news quickly.
The maidservant hurried and finally caught up with her: "Miss, why are you running so fast?"
"So that's how it is, so that's how it is." Xue Yurou repeated this sentence over and over again, her eyes filled with tears.
Yi Zexuan caught up with her in no time.
Then the maidservant consciously stepped aside.
"There was no need to explain this to you..."
Before Yi Zexuan could finish speaking, Xue Yurou said, "Rou'er knows that it is already a great honor for Rou'er that Your Highness came out. It also shows that Your Highness cares about Rou'er. Your Highness and Princess's wedding is a joyous occasion, but this matter is the most important right now. Your Highness should go and attend to your business."
Yi Zexuan hummed in agreement: "There are still people from the Central Plains in the side hall. Although they are minor figures, I still need to go and meet them."
"Yes, Your Highness, please go ahead and attend to your business. Rou'er will go back and rest now."
"Okay." After saying that, the two parted ways.
Yi Zexuan patted his forehead; he really didn't want this to happen again.
Meanwhile, Su Lixia took advantage of Yi Zexuan's absence to sneak out herself.
Uncle Li wanted to stop him, but he didn't dare.
"Hey! Princess, I'll come visit you again next time!" Yuan Ruo greeted her.
Su Lixia frowned and waved her hand dismissively at him: "Go away, go away."
"Alright." Yuan Ruo assumed that the princess would welcome him.
The guards outside the Prince's Mansion stopped watching the carriage when Su Lixia came out, and even helped her into the carriage.
"Let's go! Let's set off!"
"Princess! Are you alright!" Tears welled up in Xiaolian's eyes, making her look incredibly pitiful.
Su Lixia took out a handkerchief and wiped her face, saying, "Oh, it's alright. The prince just had something important to tell me, but I didn't cooperate, which is why you saw what happened."
"It's good that the princess is alright. But no matter what, even if it's urgent, you should have spoken to the princess properly. This was too rude. The princess has a good temper and didn't hold it against them."
Su Lixia shrugged: "When you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. It's nothing, just a small matter."
"Since the princess didn't hold it against them, Xiaolian won't hold it against them either. They're a bunch of bad people."
Upon hearing this, Su Lixia laughed twice and said, "You can't say that, and you can't say it so loudly either, or the walls might hear you." As she spoke, Su Lixia gestured for her to look at the driver.
Xiao Lian quickly covered her mouth.
"Alright, alright, it's nothing this time. Children say the darndest things."
“Princess, Xiaolian is not a child anymore.”
"Alright, you're not a child anymore. Our Xiaolian is past the coming-of-age ceremony." Su Lixia looked at her; she was only seventeen or eighteen, how could she know anything? But the thought of her dying would also kill her, indirectly because of her...
Oh my god! Now she felt both guilty and protective. Su Lixia was a little sad. If she didn't perform well, she would have to separate from Xiaolian and wouldn't know where she would go.
The little system detected her thoughts, made a very happy expression, and said, "Then make the most of this time and work hard. Besides, your mission is almost over, so the newly selected people won't need to come."
Su Lixia pursed her lips and ignored him.
After Yi Zexuan returned, Su Lixia was nowhere to be found.
Where are they?
"They've already left, Your Highness," Uncle Li said, bowing his head.
Yi Zexuan sighed softly and asked, "You go and entertain that person. I'll go write a reply to His Majesty."
"Yes." After saying that, Uncle Li prepared to leave.
"By the way, Aunt Chun hasn't returned yet. Is she planning to stay at the Princess's residence? Doesn't she have any objections?"
Uncle Li nodded and said, "Aunt Chun is reluctant to leave the Prince's Mansion, but she thinks it's okay to stay in the Princess's Mansion for the time being. Aunt Chun means that she is willing to worry about the Prince, so she has started to take care of the Princess's Mansion."
Yi Zexuan hummed in agreement: "Now that the Princess's residence has been renovated, you should have the servants in the backyard move there, and then the backyard should also be renovated."
Uncle Li smiled slightly and replied, "Yes, Your Highness is very kind. The princess is truly blessed."
"Stop with the useless talk and get on with it."
"Yes." After saying that, Uncle Li went to make the arrangements.
Meanwhile, in a corner of the street.
The doctor from Zhongyuan had been beaten so badly that his vital spot was a bloody mess. He was then put in a sack and thrown into a nearly deserted spot outside the palace. It would probably have gone unnoticed for a night or two.
After the person left, three more people appeared in the alley. The one in the middle gestured to the other two to take the person away.
"Young master, the person has been brought back, and is still breathing."
Lin Ziwen nodded and said, "Well done, no tail, right?"
"Rest assured, young master, everything will be foolproof."
"Have you sent those two girls out yet?"
The man shook his head: "His Majesty discovered it quickly; he had his men at the city gate a long time ago."
"That old scoundrel, he's so calm even after his scheme was exposed. It turns out he knew about it all along, but he never touched those two girls."
"It's hard to say. But the two young ladies have already disguised themselves, so no one will notice for a while."
Lin Ziwen rolled his eyes at him: "It's normal for such a big workshop to have two more people, but suddenly having two fewer signs seems a bit off, doesn't it?"
The man immediately lowered his head: "Young master is right. What should we do with these two?"
"They should be fine for now. His Majesty won't make a fuss about them. Just let them be as usual, but we should send people to protect them, just in case."
"yes."
Is that person receiving treatment?
"The physician in the manor is watching over things. The young master has sent a visiting physician secretly, and he probably won't be back for a while."
Lin Ziwen nodded: "Alright, come and tell me when you're cured."
"Yes." After saying that, the man withdrew.
Meanwhile, Su Lixia had already returned to Lin Ziwen's residence.
"The princess is back so soon?" The butler was surprisingly nervous when he saw Su Lixia return so suddenly.
"Yes, we have to thank you so much. The carriage you prepared was very comfortable and fast, so the trip was very convenient," Su Lixia said sincerely.
"I'm glad the princess is happy. Shall we go back to rest now?"
Su Lixia nodded and hummed in agreement.
"Shouldn't we go see the young master first?"
"He's back?" Although she asked this, Su Lixia was still puzzled. Was she supposed to go and pay her respects?
Oh well, what can we do when we're staying here?
"Yes, I've been back for quite a while."
"Then go and have a word with your young master."
"Yes, Your Highness, this way please."
So the three of them went to Lin Ziwen's study.
"You look so tired, you haven't had a proper rest these past few days, have you?"
Lin Ziwen opened his eyes wide: "Is it that obvious?"
