The Queen Mother has always disliked Yu Nianchu, even if she is a concubine, she does not want her to get close to her true son.
But before she spoke, Xie Zhun answered with great interest, "Yes!"
Although he didn't know what was going on with Yu Shuen today, Xie was sure of one thing.
He prefers that witty bad girl to Yu Shuen.
It's not easy to be able to stand up for yourself.
…
The world was spinning, and Yu Nianchu opened his eyes with difficulty. He had a severe headache, and the smell of incense and datura pollen still lingered faintly on the tip of his nose.
She only remembered that not long after she ran out of the cold palace, she fainted from inhaling the incense and datura pollen and fell in the snow.
but now--
She was in a gorgeous palace, with magnificent decorations carved on the pillars. The most eye-catching thing was the light purple gauze curtains everywhere around her.
What a strange place, Yu Nianchu thought to himself.
She stood up slowly while holding on to the pillar, but her legs were still a little weak.
She walked aimlessly inside and walked around for a long time, but she was still in the palace.
However, there was a faint sound of running water in my ears.
Moreover, the further you walked in, the more you felt the heat.
Putting all these clues together, Yu Nianchu couldn't help but guess, could it be that this is Ganquan Palace?
(The bathing place in the palace)
She had no choice but to walk out, so she could only take a few steps towards the sound of water.
Just as he was about to ask a question, a cold and deep male voice came from behind the gauze curtain.
"Don't be presumptuous when you wake up, Chu'er."
Yu Nianchu didn't think this voice was familiar, but why did he know who he was?
"May I ask, who is your Excellency?"
The man chuckled, slowly drank a sip of wine, stretched out his arms soothingly, and lay down on the stone wall behind him.
"Don't you already know when you come in?"
Yu Nianchu was not stupid, she knew that this man was taking a bath.
What would it be like to break in now...
Just thinking about it made her cheeks turn red.
"Since your Excellency doesn't say anything, I will leave first!"
As soon as she stood up, the voice sounded again, "I saved you, what should you do?"
Yu Nianchu squeezed the hem of her skirt, tried to soften her voice, and said warmly, "Thank you, Your Excellency. I am deeply grateful."
The air was quiet for a moment, and then there was a rustling sound in the bathroom, and then with a crash, the gauze curtain was lifted.
Yu Nianchu was afraid that he would see something he shouldn't see, so he turned around decisively.
Because of the nervousness, even his voice became trembling when he spoke.
"Now that I've thanked you, I'll take my leave!"
"ah!"
Her wrist was suddenly held, trying to drag her back. Yu Nianchu lost his balance and immediately fell into the warm and humid embrace.
At that moment, she felt like she was electrocuted. She pushed the man away with all her strength, but due to the disparity in strength, she couldn't push him away.
In anxiety, she raised her head in panic and faced that monster-like beautiful face.
She didn't remember anything else, but Yu Nianchu would never forget the two very charming moles at the end of the man's eyes.
She tentatively called out, "His Royal Highness?"
In the past, when her mother was still alive, she would always take her to the palace to play. By some strange combination of circumstances, she met the prince several times.
It can be considered a familiar acquaintance.
Yu Nianchu once said that he would personally embroider a cloak for the prince when he reaches his crown age.
But later, her mother died tragically and her father went off to war, and she never passed through the palace again.
The agreed-upon cloak had already been thrown away by Yu Shuen.
Xie Yu chuckled, his beautiful eyebrows curved into two crescents, but this smile was not as pure as before.
Just like the color of his eyes, they were bottomless black.
"Hey, it turns out that Chu'er still remembers me?"
I thought that meeting old friends would make them smile happily, but the next second, Yu Nianchu knelt down in front of Xie Yu respectfully and saluted.
"Meet His Highness the Crown Prince."
After going through so much, she can no longer be as innocent as before.
Xie Yu paused, feeling a sense of loss in his heart.
He raised his hand and said softly, "Forgive me."
Originally, he had a lot to say, but with Yu Nianchu being so energetic, it was difficult for Xie Yu to break through the shackles in his heart.
"That's all, it's getting late, so I'll send someone to take you back."
He half-supported his head and still warned uneasily, "Chu'er is good at embroidery. Now that you've started it, you should know how to finish it, right?"
Yu Nianchu understood that he meant something.
The only explanation is that he knew everything about his plan to set up the mother and daughter today.
However, since Xie Yu didn't ask, Yu Nianchu didn't take the initiative to say it either.
She didn't like looking for trouble, so she regarded this as a rare tacit understanding.
"Chu'er understood and resigned first."
The guards outside Ganquan Palace arranged a carriage out of the palace for Yu Nianchu, and before leaving, they specially stuffed a note into her hand.
"His Highness said that if the Marquis asks about the whereabouts of the young lady, the young lady can take a look at this."
Yu Nianchu stared blankly in the direction of Ganquan Palace. She didn't understand why Xie Yu would help her.
However, after this incident, she learned a lesson.
Future plans must be more detailed.
The attendant Xingye hurried back to Ganquan Palace and asked Xie Yu with some confusion, "Your Highness, I don't understand. Didn't this second young lady frame her eldest sister and His Highness Prince Cheng'an?"
"You see it all, why do you still want to help her?"
He thought to himself, could it be that His Highness just likes bad women?
Xie Yu chuckled, "You still take things too superficially."
"When he fell into a trap, he not only escaped safely, but also led an army of hunters. This cannot be described as bad."
Be smart.
…
It was already dark now, and the carriage carrying Yu Nianchu rushed all the way outside the palace.
In the car, Yu Nianchu opened the note, and there were a few words of extremely handsome written on it.
'Liu Siyi rescued you at the south corner of the Imperial Garden at two o'clock in the afternoon. '
Yu Nianchu's mind moved very quickly, and within a short time, he had sorted out his remarks.
The carriage stopped outside Dingyuan Hou's mansion. At this time, the door of the mansion was still wide open. The two servants' faces were ashen. When they saw Yu Nianchu coming down, they hurried forward to greet him.
"Second Miss, please go in quickly, the Marquis is angry..."
Yu Nianchu asked calmly, "Ayun is back?"
The servant nodded repeatedly, "I'm back. I was sent back by Master Fu."
"At this moment, Mr. Fu is still in the mansion."
On the way out of the palace, Yu Nianchu probably also knew about Yu Shuen and King Chengan.
She calmed down her emotions a little and entered the main hall in a dignified manner.
"Dad, my daughter is back."
Yu Nianchu bowed obediently, and Zhengtang, who had been depressed, finally became a little angry.
Mrs. Hou, Yu Shuen, and Ayun all knelt on the ground, while Fu Zhao sat in the guest seat.
Yu Chengguang covered his forehead in pain and waved his hand to Yu Nianchu in a moderate manner.
"Chu'er is back? Tell dad, where have you been?"
