Inside the house, the man had a tall and strong figure. Even if he just stood there casually, it was hard to ignore the kingly aura that shook the world. Moreover, he had been leading troops in battles for many years, and there was always a cold and murderous aura about him, which made people terrified when they saw him.
Yan Xuanye irritably covered the teacup and glanced at Cuiwei impatiently: "Why hasn't the goddess returned yet?"
Cuiwei was only a maid in the inner palace after all. How could she withstand the murderous aura of the soldiers? She was so frightened that she immediately knelt on the ground and said: "The goddess said she wanted to go to the garden to appreciate the flowers and would not let anyone follow her. If Your Highness is tired of waiting, why not go back first? When the goddess comes back, I will tell her that Your Highness has been here."
Yan Xuanye noticed the evasiveness in Cuiwei's eyes, and Cuiwei kept urging him to leave first, which made him feel something was wrong.
He placed the tea on the table and stood up. "I have something else to do, so I'll go back first. When the goddess returns, please send someone to tell me."
Cuiwei breathed a sigh of relief: "Yes."
Yan Xuanye did not miss her action. When she couldn't see him, he curled up the corners of his mouth slightly and stood up and left the room.
When he woke up and walked to the corridor, he ordered Fu Ge: "Send a few people to quietly look for the goddess to see if she really went to the garden to appreciate the flowers. If she is not in the mansion, go and find out where she went and what she did. Report immediately after you find out."
"yes."
…
When Su Qian came back, she climbed over the wall. It was easy for her to get out because during this period, most of the people in Tongpan Mansion were Yan Xuanye's subordinates, and they were all men.
No one would check her out, but she was afraid that she would need documents or other proof to come in.
She had been wandering around the garden quite often lately, just to see if there was a chance of getting in over the wall. Fortunately, she had found it, so it wasn't too difficult for her to get back.
Seeing Su Qian come back, Cuiwei finally put down her worries and immediately pulled her to change clothes. "Young lady, you are back. I was so anxious. Just now, Prince Yan came over and waited for you for a long time. When he saw that you didn't come back, he left."
"His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan is so gentle and considerate when he's with the girls, but when he's in front of Cuiwei, his expression is truly terrifying."
Su Qian took off the man's clothes and put on a woman's skirt. "Isn't he gone? What are you afraid of?"
Cuiwei: "Who knows? His Highness the Prince of Yan is a person who scares people to see. Cuiwei will quickly change the girl's clothes and send someone to report to His Highness later so that he can be assured."
Su Qian frowned and asked, "Are you relieved?"
"Yes, His Highness said that if the goddess returns, he should send someone to inform him immediately." Cuiwei giggled, "Who would have thought that His Highness the Prince of Yan would care so much about you? You are so lucky."
After hearing Cuiwei's words, Su Qian felt uncomfortable. If Yan Xuanye was too concerned about her whereabouts, it would make her feel uneasy.
On the other side, not long after Yan Xuanye returned, a maid from Su Qian's yard came to report that the goddess had returned and asked him not to worry.
Yan Xuanye waved his hand and said, "I understand. You go down."
The maid bowed and left.
Yan Xuanye waited until dinner time, and when night fell, he finally waited for Fu Ge to return. As soon as Fu Ge stepped through the threshold, he hurriedly asked, "How is the investigation going?"
Fu Ge said: "Just as Your Highness thought, the goddess is indeed not in the mansion. Instead, she disguised herself as a man, left the Tongpan Mansion, and went to the teahouse to listen to stories."
Yan Xuanye tapped the tabletop with his fingers together, as if thinking. After a moment, he asked, "If you were going to a teahouse to listen to a story, why did you dress up as a man? Why didn't you bring a maid with you, but went out alone?"
She must be trying to hide something from others.
Fu Ge: "Your Highness is very clever. The reason the goddess disguised herself and went to the teahouse to listen to stories was to inquire about Lu Huan."
"Ask about Lu Huan?"
"Yes, the goddess asked a passerby and heard that Mingxiang Pavilion was recently telling a story about Lu Huan, so she went in and stayed there for an hour before coming out."
After Fu Ge finished speaking, he looked at Yan Xuanye, and seeing the cold light in his eyes, he immediately retracted his gaze, not daring to look at him again.
Yan Xuanye was annoyed and said, "Please leave."
He didn't understand why the goddess cared so much about Lu Huan. After she was resurrected, she had come to Zhiyi City to look for Lu Huan, disguised as a man and often accompanied Lu Huan, even giving him advice. How could that bastard Lu Huan be worthy of the goddess's care?
When he thought that the goddess used to see Lu Huan every day, often accompanying him like a shadow, and even having meals and talking with him, he became extremely jealous.
The goddess should be his, body and soul.
Yan Xuanye called Ge Bulu over and asked, "How is the work I asked you to do going?"
Ge Bulu replied, "We are already working at full speed, but... Your Highness and the Goddess must wait a little longer. The wedding customs in the Central Plains are simply too complicated, unlike the simple weddings in my Fengyuan Kingdom."
Yan Xuanye nodded and said, "It must not only be quick, but also grand. All the gold, silver, jewels, and other exquisite items looted from the cities in the past should be stuffed into the betrothal gift box. The betrothal gift for the goddess should be the best."
He raised his lip and smiled, seeming to be very expectant. "I will arrange the accommodation for the soldiers. On the wedding day, I will take the goddess on a tour of the city so that all the people can witness the wedding of the king and the goddess."
"At that time, we will also have the soldiers pray for the king and the goddess, wishing them happiness and contentment in their lives."
For eternity? Ge Bulu looked up and saw the paranoia in Yan Xuanye's eyes.
He sighed inwardly, thinking that His Highness had never been interested in women before, and some in the army even speculated whether He was interested in homosexuality. He had never imagined that one day His Highness would be so deeply in love with a woman, willing to offer her the best in the world and even wanting to be with her for the rest of her life.
Gebulu: "Yes, I understand."
"Then go down and do it quickly."
"yes."
