"How can you give me so much? If it was really such a precious breed, why would it be sold in such a place?”Lin Yilan was dumbstruck as she watched Huangfu Yifeng use one tael without even blinking to replace Steward Wang's heartache.
"Don't you like it?" Although one tael was nothing to Huangfu Yifeng, he was not stupid enough to think that Lin Yilan had the same thoughts as him.
"Yes, I like it, but I don't like to spend one tael on it!”Lin Yilan said confidently. One tael, how many herbs could that buy?
However, the little fox was unhappy. One tael was too cheap for her! Its true value would scare people! As expected, the geographical difference produced differences in people. The further away it was from its hometown, the lower its value. These idiots who didn't know what was good for them!
In order to protest, but afraid of being skinned, the little fox could only use its claws to sweep Lin Yilan's head as a punishment. It could be seen as a ball, but it could not be looked down upon!
Lin Yilan looked at the fox's cute appearance, which was not daring to move even though it was angry. She happily patted its head and took off the beloved bell that she had just bought from her wrist and hung it around its neck. Unexpectedly, it caused the little thing to struggle with all its might. Unfortunately, the difference in strength was too great. In just two or three moves, Lin Yilan subdued him and forcefully hung the bell.
"How cute is this?" Lin Yilan admired her masterpiece with satisfaction. She then hugged the fox and let Huangfu Yifeng lead her to the city gate. She began to ponder," What should I call it…"
Meanwhile, the fox in Lin Yilan's arms stretched out its claws and hooked the bell on its neck with a disgusted expression. After a series of tinkling sounds, it asked the heavens speechlessly, why was it so miserable? Other compatriots could wear gold and silver, eat all kinds of delicacies, and sleep soundly in soft curtains, but it had to wear such a piece of junk? Forget it. Foxes were always realistic animals. These were just worldly possessions. As long as the latter two were like the other brothers and sisters, it would be fine. Looking at how generous his master was, his life in the future should be very comfortable.
It was a pity that this innocent little fox was wrong about one thing. It was Huangfu Yifeng and not Lin Yilan who had spent a lot of money. Its real owner was Lin Yilan and not Huangfu Yifeng. The quality of its life in the future was obvious. It could only blame its bad luck for being met by Lin Yilan.
However, before they realized it, a few people dressed like servants appeared at the place where the peddler disappeared. They looked at each other and followed.
Outside the city gate, although it was no longer as lively as the city, because of the festival, there were many people going out to play. Those young ladies and maids who rarely stepped out of their rooms had never seen such a handsome person like Huangfu Yifeng. They immediately lost interest in admiring the scenery. They blushed and stole glances at Huangfu Yifeng with their cloth towels. This was also why there were always a few waves of people around Huangfu Yifeng and his group by chance or deliberately.
However, this did not affect Lin Yilan's interest. She continued to listen to Huangfu Yifeng's introduction of the scenery along the way.
"There's a lake not far ahead. When night falls, it will light up. It's as beautiful as the night sky, hence the name Star Lake.”Huangfu Yifeng looked at the faintly visible light not far away and said slowly.
"Really? Is it the reflection of the stars?" Lin Yilan didn't think much of it. Which lake didn't reflect starlight at night would be strange.
"Even on a starless night, the Star Lake is still bright.”Looking at Lin Yilan's disdainful expression, Huangfu Yifeng could not help but reach out and rub her head.
"No? Were there any gemstones or things that could shine at the bottom of the lake?”
"No, I haven't."
"Are there any lights on the lake?"
"No, I haven't."
"Bring me there!" Lin Yilan's interest was piqued, and she stared at Huangfu Yifeng expectantly like the fox in her womb.
Looking at the man and fox's expressions, Huangfu Yifeng's lips curled up slightly. He looked at the sky and said,""It's still early. Let's go somewhere else first.”Then, he pointed to the other side and said," From this side, you can see a huge stone array. Although it's not big, if you don't jump out with Qinggong, it'll be very difficult for people who accidentally barge in to find the exit.”
"What if there is a map?" Lin Yilan, who had been distracted, was led by Huangfu Yifeng over. She could vaguely see a pile of stones arranged in a disorderly manner.
"Someone tried to draw a picture from a high place, but once they entered, they saw a different world, completely different from the original picture.”
"Really? How long will it take to get out?"
"Three to four hours."
When he saw the size of the stones, he looked at Huangfu Yifeng in disbelief."It's that small? Six to eight hours?"
"You can try." Huangfu Yifeng brought Lin Yilan along and continued walking forward. His smile had a deeper meaning.
The setting sun dyed the clouds in the west red and sprinkled golden light. The land was enveloped in laziness and leisure. The evening breeze had just risen, bringing with it a slight coolness, brushing the silk threads of the two people together. Lin Yilan suddenly felt that it would be great if she could continue walking like this.
It was a pity that the heavens did not go according to one's wishes. Some people just could not bear to see others having a good time. They insisted on bringing 100,000 volts to illuminate others at the critical moment. Lin Yilan couldn't even be bothered to roll her eyes at this " Enlightened " thing that was specially used to spoil the mood.
Steward Wang, who had brought along a servant boy and galloped over on his horse, was obviously pleased with himself for ruining this woman's good deed. His fat body jumped off the horse's back in a posture that he thought was very handsome. The first thing he did was to gloat at Lin Yilan before respectfully bowing to Huangfu Yifeng.
"What happened in the residence?" Huangfu Yifeng frowned. Even the manager had come out personally.
"Your Highness, Miss Yourou's stomach suddenly hurt badly. I've already sent someone to call a doctor to inform Your Highness.”Wang Yu replied. Nothing must happen to his Miss Yourou! She still needed a healthy body to fight against this demoness until the end!
"How did this happen?" Huangfu Yifeng frowned deeply and his voice turned cold.
Lin Yilan's eyes dimmed, and she tightened her grip on the fox. The human-like little fox lowered its head and licked the back of Lin Yilan's hand. It turned out that its master was so miserable. Her husband's thoughts were on other women. No wonder her personality was so evil and twisted. The kind little fox forgave her for her previous disrespect.
" This subordinate doesn't know. At that time, Xiao Rong ran over in a panic and said that Miss Yourou was in so much pain that she was about to faint. She said that it must be…" Wang Yu paused for a moment and glanced at Lin Yilan as if he was watching a good show." She said that it must be the aftereffects of falling into the water more than a month ago.”
When Lin Yilan heard this, she almost strangled the fox in her hand. That damned girl, let's see how she'll deal with her when she gets back!
The kind and pitiful little fox could only wave its claws and scream in vain, trying to call back Lin Yilan's rationality. Please, can you pinch her properly? It was a fox, not Xiao Rong!
"Is that so?" Huangfu Yifeng muttered to himself for a while, then turned his head to meet Lin Yilan's expectant and fearful eyes. Finally, he said softly," I'll bring you out another day, okay?”
"But I want to see the Star Lake." Lin Yilan was full of grievances, and her eyes no longer had the luster of the past. Huangfu Yifeng couldn't bear to see her like this."I'll let Uncle Wang bring you around to play, okay?”
Lin Yilan wanted to say that it was not good, but Huangfu Yifeng had already reached out to untie the red rope on their hands. He pulled her hand over and placed it on hers. He raised his hand to tidy up her long hair that was messed up by the wind. He sighed softly and brought Ying Yun on the horse to rush to the Imperial Residence.
Lin Yilan looked in the direction Huangfu Yifeng had disappeared in. She suddenly felt an indescribable sense of loss. It was so suffocating that her heart felt unusually uncomfortable.
Lin Yilan gently stroked the little fox's head, which was still feeling the lingering fear after experiencing its last struggle. She then turned around and walked silently towards the huge stone array.
The little fox was shocked and used its claws to push Lin Yilan's hand. Its eyes were filled with confusion. Did Master take things too hard?
"Don't worry, I still want to play after he leaves! I want to see if this stone array is really so magical!”Lin Yilan's sparkling eyes explained everything. The little fox suddenly felt like it had been tricked. It must be crazy to have the misconception that it sympathized with this demon!
However, Lin Yilan was really in a bad mood. Her initial interest had disappeared. Now, she was only curious about the huge stone array and not interested in playing.
"Ah! I suddenly remembered that a batch of cloth came in today. It seems that it will arrive soon. I'll take my leave first!”
Some people would often jump into the sea to swim when a tsunami came. When a certain blind guy, Lin Yilan, was in a bad mood, she would even interfere without caring about the consequences. Steward Wang, who was assigned to be a tour guide, tried to slip away. The result proved that the spirit of sacrificing oneself to please others was worthy of praise.
"Is that so?" Lin Yilan turned around and smiled brightly at Wang Yu," Please go ahead, I can walk around by myself."”
"Hmm?" Wang Yu had a bad premonition about Lin Yilan who was smiling so easily. A crying woman was pitiable, a smiling woman was lovable, but a smiling woman was terrifying.
Steward Wang took a few steps back and was about to turn around and leave when he heard Lin Yilan shout in surprise,""Bee!"
The manager, who had a deep psychological shadow of bees, immediately turned pale. He did not dare to look back. He raised his thick and short legs and ran forward.
Watching the " meatball " roll into the huge stone array at an unimaginable speed, Lin Yilan turned around and walked towards Star Lake. Since someone had gone in to experiment, she did not want to waste any more time. However, the difference in their IQ was too big. Should she deduct two hours or three hours?
"Wangye, why did you give her a chance to get close to you? You clearly know that her behavior is very suspicious!”
On the way back to the Imperial Residence, Ying Yun asked Huangfu Yifeng in confusion," How could a brainless woman who only wanted to be a princess become so smart after a cold?”His highness was acting out of character, treating this suspicious woman so well that it was hard to believe!
Huangfu Yifeng's lips curled up, but his eyes were cold." Yun, do you think it's better to let a dangerous wild beast return to the deep mountains and not know when it will pounce on you and bite you, or to lock it up somewhere where it can be seen and watch it at all times?”
Ying Yun was stunned, then he understood Huangfu Yifeng's meaning. He knew that His Highness must have his reasons for doing this! But…
"Wangye, then why did you bring her into the palace this morning? If she was King Tifeng's subordinate, wouldn't that mean that she had met the assassin?”
"Although Gu Yin and that assassin are suspicious, they don't seem to be Tenth Imperial Uncle's men. Bringing her into the palace is just to confirm my thoughts. If they are together, then Gu Yin will definitely not react like this morning. He was abnormally excited when he found out that the assassin was poisoned.”
What puzzled him was that Zhang Wei was indeed very suspicious in the imperial prison this morning. However, he did not pay attention to Zhang Wei. That was Huangfu Zhuoqing's matter. He had been observing Gu Yin's expression the whole time, and there was nothing unusual. The only thing that puzzled him was that Gu Yin seemed to be unable to see things from afar in the dark. However, when he asked the servant girl beside her a few days ago, he found out that Gu Yin did not have such an abnormality before she fell into the water. Why was that so?
While Huangfu Yifeng was deep in thought, Ying Yun was in a great mood. So when wangye brought that woman into the palace this morning, he had another purpose? Hah! He knew that his master had a divine plan! The vexed feeling of being played around by that girl instantly vanished, and he followed Huangfu Yifeng to the Prince's mansion in a good mood.
