"Your Highness!" Xiao Rong, who was about to order someone to fetch some water, saw Huangfu Yifeng as soon as she stepped out of the door. She quickly retreated to the side and bowed respectfully.
"Where's Ruo 'er?" His cold black eyes were calm. Only Ying Yun, who had always been by Huangfu Yifeng's side, knew that if his highness was really as unworried as he appeared, he would not have galloped on his horse.
"Your Highness, he's in his room."
"How did it go?"
"The doctor just left. He said that Young Lady's body is weak, and in addition to many days of insomnia, she has accumulated depression into an illness, so her blood and qi are not smooth.”Although she had been toyed with ever since Gu Yin, that fiend, caught a cold, she was still a servant girl of the Prince's mansion. She was a smooth talker and could not be easily killed. Xiao Rong cleverly led Huangfu Yifeng into the inner room while answering his questions. Of course, she added the word " illness caused by depression " herself. How could one know about "accumulated depression" just by taking a pulse?
Although it would be fine after a short period of recuperation, the main point was that a heart disease still needed to be treated with medicine. This prescription also needed the prince's medicine…No, that was not the main point. The main point was that this way, it would be Gu Yin, that jinx, who would become ill from accumulated depression. Let's see how smug she could be! He was indeed a talent!
At the thought that Gu Yin would stomp his feet in front of her in exasperation later, Xiao Rong felt an inexplicable sense of pride and satisfaction! As expected, our miss 'charm is still great. She didn't need to do anything, just lay there and easily won. She directly snatched wangye from that witch who had used all her brain power! Perhaps this was the high realm of planning…or rather, lying down in the middle of a "tent" and winning a battle thousands of miles away?
Unlike Xiao Rong's abnormally high spirits, Huangfu Yifeng's handsome eyebrows furrowed without a trace, and his footsteps quickened slightly.
Sleepless for many days? Accumulated depression into illness? It seemed that he had not been here for a while. This girl…
"Xiao Rong."
"This servant."
Xiao Rong, who was fighting fiercely with the imaginary Gu Yin, saw that she was about to be beaten into a pig's head. She was frightened by this voice and lost her senses. The imaginary Gu Yin stepped on her face!
Xiao Rong forced herself to steady herself and pretended to be calm as she waited for his highness to come down. At the same time, she told herself with a face full of bad luck that she must find a quiet place to clear her mind and curse in the future, lest she be frightened again and let that demon Gu Yin take advantage of her.
"In the future, if Ruo 'er has something on her mind, immediately inform this king.”
"Yes, Your Highness!" It was like a person with rotten teeth suddenly learning that there was a tooth specialist in the world. Xiao Rong swept away the haze of being owed 80,000 yuan and was instantly happy. She nodded repeatedly. She knew that her miss was still the one who won his highness 'heart!
Ignoring Xiao Rong's excitement, Huangfu Yifeng waved his hand to dismiss Xiao Rong and Ying Yun before walking into the elegantly decorated room.
Her footsteps landed lightly on the white jade stone, as if she did not want to disturb the person sleeping inside.
The sandalwood incense on the table had a faint green smoke. The whole room was filled with a calming smell. It was quiet and quiet, like a tree-lined road in the mountains. It was as if one could hear the dripping sound of spring water. The breeze that slipped in through the window was playing with the tassels. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the books beside him. The words were warm, and the few rays of the sun that leaked fell on the white jade floor reflected a colorful light. On the small table, there was an unfinished embroidery. The mandarin ducks were playing in the water, but there was only time to embroider a proud and lifelike creature. The clear water reflected the water alone and played. A few rolls of silk thread scattered on the ground, and a silver needle held by a silk thread slid down the table. The occasional breeze gently swayed the silver color, exquisite and lonely.
On the right was a huge screen. Huangfu Yifeng stopped in front of the screen and stared at the painting on it.
The exquisite silver thread was sewn with care. Each thread seemed to carry the myriad of love of the person who made this huge embroidery. There was nothing to say but to place it on the thread. This embroidery was different from ordinary ones. It was not a mandarin duck or a flower. It was a huge candle that had been carefully decorated. Although it was strange, it did not seem out of place.
If you were a candle, I would be the fire. Once lit, the wax flame would be extinguished. So...
No! You don't know anything! Then don't chase me away so casually! Listen up! If you turn into smoke and leave, I will follow you in tears!
Huangfu Yifeng's eyes flickered as he thought of something. He shook his head and smiled. He stroked the candle flame and sighed,""Idiot!"
Although this sigh was soft, it had clearly awakened the person behind the screen. A gentle and sweet female voice called out uncertainly,"Your Highness?"
Covering his unfathomable eyes, Huangfu Yifeng walked around the screen and entered.
The inner room was not big, but it was decorated in an exceptionally clean and refreshing manner.
The thin veil was slowly lifted by a white and slender hand. Her exquisite and beautiful face seemed to be a little pale. Her originally snow-white skin was now devoid of blood. However, there was a faint black halo under her smiling eyes, hinting at the beauty's "many days of insomnia". Her pink and alluring cherry lips parted slightly, and her white teeth were alluring. Her long black hair was casually draped behind her, making her originally thin body look even more lovable. Who could look away from such a stunning beauty?
He walked to the bedside and sat down. He pressed down the beautiful woman who was about to get up and bow, letting her lean against the headboard. Huangfu Yifeng looked at her pale little face, which was full of pleasant smiles but made people's hearts ache. His chest seemed to be blocked by something, and he felt uncomfortable. Ever since Gu Yin prescribed medicine for himself, such a situation rarely occurred.
Huangfu Yifeng's eyes darkened when he thought of the woman who might be using Uncle Wang as a punching bag.
"Why is your highness here? Why didn't you inform Ruo 'er earlier? Ruo' er was rude.”Li Youruo's gentle voice was filled with unconcealable joy and annoyance.
"I came to see you. Are you feeling better?" Retracting his thoughts that had changed because of her concern, Huangfu Yifeng carefully tucked her in. He said with a hint of helplessness," Why didn't you take good care of yourself?”
"Ruo-er is fine, and I shouldn't have disturbed your highness! I hope Your Highness will punish me." Her watery eyes were filled with self-blame. Li Youruo looked at Huangfu Yifeng with a trace of caution, afraid that she would upset Huangfu Yifeng.
"What do you mean by shouldn't? If you're sick, just rest well and recuperate your body. Don't let your thoughts run wild.”
"Ruo 'er understands. Ruo' er will take good care of herself. His Highness is the same. Although the current situation is pressing, His Highness should also take care of his body and not let the country's affairs hurt his mind.”Looking at the handsome and arrogant man in front of her, Li Youruo couldn't help but ask with concern.
She knew Huangfu Yifeng's talent. He was calm and astute in the face of danger, making people unconditionally convinced and loyal. He had such courage. His strategy could be said to be precise and grand, from the smallest details to the most important ones. He could destroy thousands of troops and horses without anyone knowing. Such a man was a combination of intelligence and imperial power. He was arrogant and cold. Some people admired his resourcefulness and admired his pride. They wanted to keep him in their pockets. Some people saw him as a thorn in their eyes and wanted to get rid of him. Danger lurked everywhere. He did not know if the white blade or poison would appear in the next second. How could he live freely like this? As for herself, she was just a woman with no talent or wisdom. She had only read a few books. When many people were fighting for the world and helping Huangfu Yifeng, she could not help with anything other than doing chores. Instead, she had to make Huangfu Yifeng take care of her. When she thought of this, Li Youruo's heart was filled with bitterness.
Huangfu Yifeng wasn't cold-hearted. Seeing Li Youruo's self-reproach, how could he bear to let her continue to be sad?
"I know. I'll be careful. Don't worry about these things. As long as you take good care of yourself, it will be a great help to me, understand?”He couldn't always be by her side to protect and take care of her. Although it was the Imperial Residence now, if she didn't care about herself, then this girl would collapse one day.
Back then, he had hesitated whether he should let Youruo enter the Imperial Residence. If he accepted her into the Imperial Residence, putting aside the other threats, it would be very dangerous for the beautiful ladies in the Imperial Residence to fight for favor. This was also the reason why he frequently came to her place. Under his eyes, those women would not risk their lives to hurt her…Of course, that woman, Gu Yin, was another matter.
Thinking of Gu Yin again, Huangfu Yifeng, who was always calm, was a little frustrated. He actually thought of her twice in such a short period of time. Perhaps he was really confused by Gu Yin's abnormal behavior? However, a woman who used to only know how to play some stupid tricks suddenly changed her temperament. Not only was she smart, but her medical skills also seemed to be not something to be talked about. Anyone who encountered such a situation would be more careful…He might have really paid too much attention to her. Perhaps Ying Yun was right. It was a good choice to throw her out of the Prince's mansion directly…Huangfu Yifeng began to consider the feasibility of this plan. Of course, it was not because he was soft-hearted and could not do it. Instead, he was thinking about how likely it was that the thick-skinned woman, who had become an iron wall after the cold, would come back after being thrown out.
"Your Highness, is there something on your mind?" Although Huangfu Yifeng did not show it on the surface, after interacting with Huangfu Yifeng for so long, the sharp Li Youruo could feel that Huangfu Yifeng seemed to be troubled by something.
"I'm fine." Facing such a well-educated and kind woman, Huangfu Yifeng shook his head gently. This girl actually had the time to worry about him?
Li Youruo's eyes dimmed. She still couldn't help him…
However, she quickly regained her spirits. She turned around and carefully took out a sachet from under her pillow and handed it to Huangfu Yifeng. She looked at Huangfu Yifeng expectantly, and her beautiful eyes were full of smiles." Your Highness, I heard that the fragrance sachet has the effect of calming the qi and relieving worries. I was afraid that Your Highness would not like the mixed fragrance bought from the market, so I made one myself. If I don't make it well, if Your Highness doesn't mind…"
Seeing that Li Youruo was at a loss and was afraid of being rejected, Huangfu Yifeng did not hesitate to take the sachet she handed over. The white silk was meticulously sewn with a cheetah that had just woken up. It was mighty and dangerous, especially its sharp eyes. It was vividly portrayed. Although it was still the laziness of when it had just woken up, it was not difficult to imagine how disdainful it would be after it had truly woken up. Li Youruo had always felt that Huangfu Yifeng was like this leopard, but what she didn't know was that when this mighty cheetah was embroidered on this delicate sachet, it was a little shocking. She didn't know that when Lin Yilan saw this sachet, she first pointed at the cheetah on it and laughed," This cat really looks like a leopard!”，Then, he threw it into the toilet to purify the air.
Huangfu Yifeng looked at the sachet in his hand. Although he felt a little awkward, let alone a man carrying a sachet…it was Yourou's painstaking effort to make it, and he had always been a casual person. He did not mind the eyes of the world, so he hung it on his waist and thanked him with a smile,"Then I'll take it. Thank you!”
" Your Highness, you don't have to thank me…" Yourou lowered her head with a red face. Huangfu Yifeng did not look awkward at all when he was wearing this sachet. Instead, it made him look more like a gentleman. He was gentle and refined, and Yourou's sachet paled in comparison.
The fragrance wafting out of the box made Huangfu Yifeng feel indescribably refreshed and comfortable. He sniffed and asked with a smile,""Chrysanthemum?"
"Yes, I am. I also don't know what kind of smell wangye likes, but I heard from Xiao Rong that chrysanthemums are helpful for wangye's illness, so I picked some chrysanthemums and put them in. She didn't know if Xiao Rong was telling the truth.”
"Xiao Rong?"
"Xiao Rong said so." Speaking of the servant girl who had always pretended to be very fierce and scared away a large group of beautiful women who came to find fault with her, Li Youruo was very happy." I don't know where she heard it from, but she said that His Highness felt a lot better after smelling the chrysanthemum fragrance. Ruo 'er was so happy. She had finally found a cure for his highness' illness! Why don't Ruo 'er change all the flowers in the yard into chrysanthemums?”
Huangfu Yifeng chuckled. It seemed that Xiao Rong had heard it from Gu Yin, but she had only learned half of it. How could her illness be cured by just a few chrysanthemums?
"No need. Ruo 'er can plant whatever flowers she likes. There's no need to force my illness. It can't be rushed, but it will be fine.”Huangfu Yifeng consoled him." Did you do it yourself?”
"Ruo 'er did it herself. Ruo 'er felt that his highness would not like those artificial spices, so she picked a few blooming chrysanthemums. Fortunately, it was the peak season for chrysanthemums, so the fu could find a lot.”Her beautiful eyes curved into crescents, shining brightly.
"Actually, you don't have to do it yourself. If you want to give it to me, just order someone to do it. Don't force yourself.”Huangfu Yifeng said helplessly. Sometimes, he really couldn't do anything to this gentle woman.
"No, Ruo 'er wanted to do it herself! Anyway, he was bored, so he did it for fun.”
Huangfu Yifeng was silent for a long time as he stared at this lovely girl with a charming smile. Li Youruo blushed and lowered her head. She suddenly asked,
"Ruo 'er, are you still the same as before? I told you, you just need to stay in the residence and don't think too much.”
" Your Highness, I…" Li Youruo looked at Huangfu Yifeng hesitantly. She bit her lips, and her beautiful eyes gradually filled with tears." Your Highness, I'm sorry. I still want to do something for you…"
" You…" The smile in Huangfu Yifeng's dark eyes faded as he said seriously," Ruo 'er, don't always think that you're dragging us down. In fact, I owe you."”
" Your Highness…" Li Youruo hurriedly tried to defend herself but was stopped by Huangfu Yifeng.
"Don't say no. You bet your happiness on it, didn't you?”Huangfu Yifeng sometimes felt that this gentle and weak woman was strong and brave. "Ruo 'er, don't think that you're the only one who's not involved when everyone is working hard for this plan. You also have a mission, which is to protect yourself well. Only then can we proceed without any worries. If we lose, you won't be able to escape even if you enter the Imperial Residence. Are you afraid?”
Li Youruo shook her head vigorously." No! Ruo 'er was not afraid! Ruo 'er believes that as long as we have wangye and the crown prince, we will not fail! Even if what your highness said is true, if the heavens don't bless us, Ruo 'er won't be able to live alone. For your highness, and for the Candle Alliance.”She said it with unusual determination and without any hesitation.
"That's enough, so you can't blame yourself anymore, understand?”Huangfu Yifeng was moved for a moment. He seemed to see a shocking aura bursting out from this weak body. This infatuated woman…
What was love in the world, and why could such a woman risk her life for it? As for him, when would he understand the word "love"?
"Yes, Ruo-er understands." Nodding her head, Li Youruo revealed a beautiful smile. So she wasn't a burden.
Seeing that this girl had finally come to her senses, Huangfu Yifeng's worried heart could finally be relieved." It seems like you're still worried about these things. As for you, did you fall into the water last time?”
"No! Wangye need not worry. But…where is Miss Gu?" Although the mention of the woman who pushed her into the water still made her feel a little scared, she heard that her fate did not seem to be any better. When she fell into the water, she was too proud and stepped into the lake. Li Youruo, who was kind by nature, was naturally a little worried.
"Her? Very good." Other than being a little mentally abnormal.
However, what Huangfu Yifeng was more curious about was what Gu Yin would do if she was given another chance to get close to Yourou. Should he be as jealous as before and hurt Ruo 'er unscrupulously, or should he pretend to be friends with Ruo' er to gain his trust? Should he put Ruo 'er's safety at risk in order to test Gu Yi?
"Very good?" Why did these words sound so strange? You Ruo's delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly. Moreover, Xiao Rong seemed to like to run to Miss Gu's side. Why was that so?
Yourou, who had been bored in this small courtyard, also wanted to meet the woman who had supposedly scared Steward Wang into the man-made lake…Although there were many maids and guards in this huge Qingshui House, there was a difference between master and servant, and those good "sisters" who often came to "chat and relieve boredom" couldn't really accompany her. Therefore, Yourou sometimes hoped that someone could accompany her.
Looking at Yourou, whose petite face was filled with hope that could not be hidden despite her efforts, Huangfu Yifeng sighed. He stroked away the long hair on her face and said gently,""Don't think too much. Have a good rest. I'll come and see you tomorrow."
"Yes, I am. Take care, Your Highness." Li Youruo nodded her head meekly. She lay on the bed and watched Huangfu Yifeng leave reluctantly.
She suddenly felt so lonely, without anyone to accompany her…
But even if it was for his highness, he had to be strong!
If you were a candle, I would be the fire. Once lit, the wax flame would be extinguished.
Listen up! If you turn into smoke and leave, I will follow you in tears! Forever and ever, they would never be separated!
