Yun Xuezhi quietly left the Crown Prince's residence. She felt a little unwilling to leave like this, so she could only linger outside the residence. Calming down and thinking about it, Duan Zhuo Luo's actions just now were indeed a little strange.
Murong Chuyan was a person with a strong desire to control others. He would never allow others to betray him. Duan Zhuoluo would not be so stupid to seduce Murong Xuanyu in the Crown Prince's territory. Could it be...
Yun Xuezhi was shocked by her own imagination and immediately fell into deep thought.
Duan Zhuo Luo would never betray Murong Chuyan. The only explanation was that she was ordered by Murong Chuyan. But, why did that man do that?
" Murong Xuanyu..." Yun Xuezhi muttered the name as she had an idea.
After an unknown period of time, Murong Xuanyu hurried out of the Crown Prince's residence. His expression was extremely unsightly, and there were no guards around him. He quickly disappeared in front of them.
Yun Xuezhi used a disguise spell to change her face and quietly followed behind him.
Murong Xuanyu's expression was grave, and he looked like he had a lot on his mind. He actually didn't notice Yun Xuezhi, who was following behind him.
After an unknown amount of time, Murong Xuanyu turned into a very narrow alley. Yun Xuezhi had no choice but to follow him. As soon as they left the alley, a very magnificent mansion appeared in front of them.
Murong Xuanyu knocked on the door and was quickly welcomed in.
Seeing that there was no one around, Yun Xuezhi hurriedly walked to the front of the mansion. When she raised her head, she saw the huge words "Xuan Mansion" carved on the plaque.
This was his residence? Yun Xuezhi was extremely surprised.
The mansion in front of him was not inferior to the Crown Prince's Residence in terms of scale. However, it was strange that the Imperial Residence was built in such a remote place.
At this time, the sky was gradually darkening. Yun Xuezhi hesitated for a moment before turning around and leaving.
Too many things had happened in the past two days. The Residence of Yun had long been in a mess. Naturally, no one would notice her return.
"Fifth Miss, Old Master came to look for you today and asked you to look for him after you came back!”Xiao Cui said worriedly as soon as they returned to the Breeze Pavilion.
"I know!" Yun Xuezhi nodded and quickly changed into her young lady attire before walking towards the main hall.
Upon entering the main hall, she saw Grand Preceptor Yun sitting in the middle while Madam Yun's face was covered with a veil. When she saw Yun Xuezhi, she looked away in disgust.
"Why are you looking for me?" Yun Xuezhi was still unwilling to call him father.
Grand Preceptor Yun furrowed his brows in dissatisfaction, but he quickly returned to normal." I went to the court today to inquire. Lord Four has not returned to the palace, nor has he reported the proposal to the Ministry of Personnel. So, you'd better not have too much hope. The proposal may be a whim of Lord Four and not taken seriously.”
"Didn't you also say that wangye hasn't returned to the palace? Why are you in such a hurry to come to a conclusion?" Yun Xuezhi raised her eyebrows and said coldly.
Grand Preceptor Yun slammed the table heavily and said with anger,""Yun Xuezhi, don't forget yourself! As long as you're not married, you're my daughter!”
Hearing this, Yun Xuezhi suddenly laughed and said faintly,"If you really treated me as your daughter, I wouldn't have experienced those terrifying things!”
Grand Preceptor Yun was speechless. Seeing this, Madam Yun quickly added," Xuezhi, a lot of things have happened in the residence these past two days. Don't make things difficult for your father!"”
Yun Xuezhi sneered." If you were more obedient, there wouldn't be so much trouble!”
"Impudent!" Grand Preceptor Yun finally couldn't help but roar," Yun Xuezhi, don't go too far!”
Yun Xuezhi shrugged and ignored him. She turned around and left. When she returned to the Breeze Pavilion, her expression gradually became solemn.
She was very familiar with the rules of the Eastern Region Palace. If the royal family wanted to get engaged, they had to personally submit it to the Ministry of Personnel, which would investigate whether the background of the bride was clean. Then, it would be submitted to the Empress, and the final decision would be made by the Emperor. The sequence was very complicated, and it would take about half a year.
Normally, once the proposal was confirmed, the imperial family would report it to the Ministry of Personnel Affairs. Obviously, Murong Xuanyu did not take any action. This man couldn't have just said it casually, right?
Yun Xuezhi was a little anxious. She took out the jade pendant that Murong Xuanyu had given her, looked at it carefully, and put it away carefully. Now, he could only go to his residence to investigate.
Early the next morning, Yun Xuezhi changed into a man and left the Residence of Yun in a hurry. Yun Xuezhi cleared her throat and knocked on the door when she arrived at the Xuan Mansion.
After a while, an old man came to open the door. He narrowed his eyes and carefully sized up Yun Xuezhi. He asked in a kind tone,"Little brother, who are you looking for?"
"Uncle, I'm from another city and I want to find a job to support myself. I wonder if the Xuan Imperial Residence still needs servants?”Yun Xuezhi asked politely.
"Little brother, you've come to the wrong place!" The old man shook his head. Our master doesn't like to have too many people in the residence, so there are only five servants in this residence!”
"Only five people?" Yun Xuezhi opened her mouth in surprise.
"Little brother, you'd better find a way to survive elsewhere!”As he spoke, the old man wanted to close the door.
"Wait!" Yun Xuezhi hurriedly stopped the old man.
" You still have..." Before the old man could finish, he was controlled by the Confusion Spell.
"Little brother, come in. Our residence is lacking a servant!”The old man said in a daze.
"Thank you, Uncle!" Yun Xuezhi quickly turned sideways and entered the door.
Compared to the magnificent exterior, the interior of the Xuan Mansion appeared extremely simple and crude. All the decorations were extremely frugal. Looking at the old man's appearance, Yun Xuezhi couldn't help but feel pity for him. She quietly wiped off the Confusion Curse.
The old man seemed to have woken up from a dream. When he saw Yun Xuezhi in front of him, he revealed a surprised expression." Little brother, how did you come in?”
"Uncle, you let me in just now!”Yun Xuezhi looked innocent.
The old man thought about it carefully, then shook his head." Forget it, forget it. Perhaps I'm really old…Since you can come in, it means that you're fated to be with our Xuan Manor. I'll take you in on behalf of His Highness!”
"Thank you, Uncle!" Yun Xuezhi was so happy that she thanked him repeatedly.
"I am the housekeeper of this Xuan Imperial Residence. You can just call me Uncle Yu!”
After saying that, he brought Yun Xuezhi around the mansion. The interior of the mansion was very different from the exterior. The interior of the mansion seemed much more desolate. It should have been because it had not been maintained for a while, or perhaps the people living here were not in the mood to take care of it.
"Uncle Yu, our Prince is a noble of the Eastern Region. Why is he living in such a simple place?”Yun Xuezhi asked curiously.
"His highness is kind-hearted by nature and gives his annual salary to the poor. In addition, he doesn't like to be rich and noble, so it's quite good to live like this!”
"I see!" Yun Xuezhi nodded, and her impression of Murong Xuanyu inexplicably increased.
"His Highness treats us very well, and we practically all eat and live together. However, you must not tell outsiders about these things, or else our Highness will be laughed at!”
"Uncle Yu, I understand!" Yun Xuezhi nodded sensibly.
"Let's go, I'll bring you to see his highness. He must be in the little garden now!”
As he spoke, Uncle Yu walked straight ahead. Yun Xuezhi followed behind him and quickly looked around.
"Your Highness, you're up!" Uncle Yu suddenly stopped and said respectfully.
Yun Xuezhi turned around and was stunned. What greeted his eyes was a large patch of purple-gold chrysanthemums. This gorgeous color formed a sharp contrast with the old mansion.
Murong Xuanyu was wiping the leaves of the Purple Golden Chrysanthemum with gauze.
" It's so beautiful…" Yun Xuezhi muttered, wishing she could pounce on it immediately.
Purple golden chrysanthemums were her favorite flower. She had once planted a large sea of purple golden chrysanthemums in Wan Xiang Sect. This flower was extremely difficult to take care of and needed to be taken care of every morning. Moreover, the stem of the flower was full of thorns, so almost no one would plant this flower.
"I didn't expect that Your Highness would still have such leisure!”Yun Xuezhi blurted out unconsciously.
Murong Xuanyu looked at her suspiciously and frowned." Uncle Yu, who is he?"”
"Replying to wangye, he is a servant that I just recruited to do odd jobs.”
Hearing this, Murong Xuanyu's frown deepened." Didn't I say that five people in the residence is enough?"”
" This…" Uncle Yu was speechless.
Seeing this, Yun Xuezhi hurriedly said," Your Highness, I've escaped from other places. I'm all alone. If Your Highness can't take me in, I'm afraid I'll starve to death on the streets tomorrow!" Your Highness, please be merciful and give me a way out!”As she spoke, she even pretended to wipe the corners of her eyes pitifully.
Murong Xuanyu pondered for a moment, then sighed and shook his head." Forget it, I'll let you stay!"”
"Thank you, Your Highness!" Yun Xuezhi was overjoyed.
Murong Xuanyu stopped talking and continued to bend down to wipe the leaves.
Yun Xuezhi turned to look at the sea of flowers and asked in confusion,"Wangye, why don't you let the servants take care of these flowers?”
Murong Xuanyu was stunned for a moment and said indifferently,""This has nothing to do with them, and it has nothing to do with you!”
Yun Xuezhi secretly rolled her eyes, but she still had a smile on her face." Your Highness, I've seen these flowers before, and I know how to take care of them!”
As she spoke, she took the gauze from Murong Xuanyu's hand and dabbed it with some dew. Her fingers followed the leaf stem and carefully wiped it. At this moment, she felt as if she had returned to the Wan Xiang Sect. She was tending to the flowers while a group of disciples were cultivating at the side...
Recalling the past, Yun Xuezhi couldn't help but smile. Her smile was clear and sweet, which made Murong Xuanyu stunned.
This smile was so familiar! Even though he had only seen it once, it was an unforgettable scene…
Murong Xuanyu sighed heavily. He must have missed her so much that he was hallucinating. But when would this pain end?
"Your highness, you see, if you use this method, it will save you a lot of time!”Yun Xuezhi said softly. She turned around and saw Murong Xuanyu looking at her with a scrutinizing gaze. She cursed in her heart.
" Your Highness, this lowly one once worked in a manor while fleeing, so I learned how to take care of these flowers…" Yun Xuezhi explained awkwardly.
"Uncle Yu, bring him down!" Murong Xuanyu took back the gauze and didn't look at her anymore. He began to look at the flowers with full concentration.
