She didn't know whether it was because she was too tired during the time in the Buddhist hall, or because being in Gu Beichen's arms made her feel at ease. She slept peacefully and peacefully this night.
When she woke up, it was getting late outside, and she subconsciously reached towards her side, but unexpectedly she felt a touch of heat.
Looking up, she realized that Gu Beichen had woken up earlier than her and was staring at her unblinkingly. What she had just touched was his abdomen.
Being caught off guard, An Ruowan looked into Gu Beichen's eyes, which made An Ruowan slightly panicked. She subconsciously sat up, but her vision went dark because she moved too fast.
Just when she didn't know what to do, a strong hand suddenly appeared on her waist, allowing her to stand firmly on the ground.
"Do you feel better?"
Gu Beichen's voice came from behind, making An Ruowan's heartbeat seem to skip a beat.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Almost subconsciously, An Ruowan leaned towards Gu Beichen and prepared to leave.
Looking at An Ruowan's fleeing figure, Gu Beichen raised the corner of his mouth lightly but did not pursue him.
After walking a short distance forward, An Ruowan's pace gradually slowed down. She was completely relieved when she saw that no one was catching up behind her.
Caihuan didn't know what was going on in the room. She only saw An Ruowan's hurried back. At this moment, she finally caught up with An Ruowan's footsteps and couldn't help but pant and look in front of her.
"Princess, why are you running away? Could it be that the prince can still eat you?"
Little did he know that when these words fell into An Ruowan's ears, they seemed to add a little extra meaning, making her blushing cheeks redder from running.
"Of course not. You'd better stop making random guesses and go back quickly."
As An Ruowan finished speaking, Caihuan lowered her eyes and stuck out her tongue, then followed her back to the courtyard.
After drinking a cup of tea, An Ruowan felt much more comfortable.
However, when she recalled Gu Beichen's abnormal behavior today, she still frowned, looked at the figure in the bronze mirror, and blurted out subconsciously.
"Does the prince fall in love with me?"
As soon as these words came out, An Ruowan shook his head unconsciously, but the strange feeling in his heart could not be deceived.
At this moment, Caihuan came in from outside the house and leaned towards her.
"Princess, Yang Hua is outside asking to see you."
Hearing the name, An Ruowan was stunned for two seconds, and then she realized who the "Yang Hua" Cai Huan was talking about was, but she didn't quite understand what Yang Hua was doing here instead of trying to please Gu Beichen. .
But after coming back to her senses, An Ruowan still waved to Caihuan and asked her to call Yang Hua in.
After Yang Hua entered the room, she immediately lowered her eyes and bowed, "I have seen the princess."
"Get up, what do you want?"
An Ruowan motioned to Yang Hua to stand up, then turned his eyes on her and looked at her.
Yang Hua never raised her eyes to look at An Ruowan, she just spoke respectfully.
"My slave heard that the princess was back, so she came to visit her."
At first, An Ruowan didn't realize what she meant by her words, but she soon realized what she meant, causing her to frown, "Now that you have seen that my princess is safe and sound, is there anything else going on?"
Hearing this, a trace of disappointment flashed across Yang Hua's face, but she still bowed to An Ruowan.
"Now that the princess is safe and sound, I can rest assured."
After the words fell, Yang Hua withdrew.
Just when An Ruowan was still thinking about the purpose of her move, she saw Caihuan coming back with a cake in her hand.
"Princess, this is what Yang Hua left behind. Princess, do you want to try it?"
Looking at the cakes placed in front of her, An Ruowan's mind flashed over Gu Beichen's previous warning to her, causing a flash of hesitation in her eyes.
"If the princess has no appetite for the time being, then I will take the things off first."
As soon as she finished speaking, Caihuan walked out with the cakes in hand.
An Ruowan came to her senses at this time. She didn't understand why Yang Hua was willing to waste time on her. It seemed that Gu Beichen was right. Neither of these two people was a worry-free existence.
Yang Hua didn't succeed here, and Liu'er wasn't idle either. After hearing that the prince and Concubine Zhen broke up on bad terms today, he immediately went to the study room, obviously wanting to wait until Gu Beichen came out of the house. Could have a chance encounter.
All the hard work paid off, Gu Beichen was really waiting for her, but Gu Beichen didn't notice Liu'er beside him at all, and walked forward in a hurry.
Seeing this, Liu Er became cruel and rushed towards Gu Beichen. If Gu Beichen hadn't caught her, she would have been humiliated.
What she didn't expect was that the expected pain didn't come.
Just as she opened her eyes with a shy look, the prepared sentence "Prince" was about to blurt out.
But after seeing the figure in front of him clearly, Liu'er broke away from the man's arms in disbelief, "Why is it you! Where is the prince?"
The figure who held Liu Er in his arms and stopped him was not Gu Beichen, but the guard who was following him. No wonder Liu Er showed such an expression.
"The prince has left. It's better to get rid of this unreasonable thought as soon as possible. If it happens again, I will never forgive you lightly!"
The guard left after saying harsh words, leaving Liu'er standing there, seemingly insulted, with two lines of clear tears slowly sliding down her cheeks, making her clench her hands tightly, unable to swallow this breath no matter what. .
An Ruowan didn't know about this. Instead, he wanted to ask people to inquire about the news in General Weiyuan's house. He didn't know if the last incident had any results.
When Caihuan came back after hearing the news, she was already a little out of breath. She stood there for a while and then spoke.
"Princess, there hasn't been much movement in the General's Mansion these days. Even though I've been there so many times, I haven't seen Miss Chu. I don't know what's going on."
Caihuan couldn't think clearly, but An Ruowan realized after a moment that Chu Ziyi must have been restricted from freedom. Otherwise, with her temperament, how could she not come out and move around for such a long time.
That night, An Ruowan secretly called Bai Yu and prepared to let him take her out of Prince Rong's mansion.
Before leaving, Caihuan's face was full of panic, "Princess, is this really possible?"
It turns out that An Ruowan deliberately left Caihuan in the house to pretend to be her, so it's no wonder that Caihuan felt unsure.
But An Ruowan just nodded to her, and soon followed Bai Yu and disappeared into the dark night.
No matter how worried Cai Huan was, in this situation, she could only grit her teeth and sit down, brainwashing herself in her mind, "The princess will go out for a while and come back soon, no one will notice any clues, definitely not. "
Under Caihuan's thoughts, An Ruowan followed Bai Yu to General Weiyuan, and followed the route in his memory, all the way to Chu Ziyi's courtyard.
Sure enough, this place had already been watched, and she seemed to be able to see Chu Ziyi's figure pacing back and forth restlessly through the window.
She couldn't break into this situation, so she ordered Bai Yu to put her on Chu Ziyi's roof, and entered the house when no one outside was paying attention.
