"You're quite considerate of the siblings.”
On the stone path, it was so quiet that only the sound of wooden wheels rolling on the stone slabs could be heard. Tie Zhanye let her push him and said indifferently,"
Originally, he did not intend to chat with her, but the sound of the wooden wheels rolling over the stone slabs was so noisy in his ears that he wanted to make some noise to cover this sound, hoping that he could not hear this disgusting sound.
"Back then, this servant's husband treated this servant extremely well. Now that husband is no longer in this world, leaving this pair of siblings alone, how can this servant ignore them?”Although she felt that his question was a little strange, she still answered truthfully.
Would he be interested in her? If he was really interested, he wouldn't have asked right here.
Besides, she didn't think that he would be interested in her private matters. There must be a reason why he mentioned it. What could it be?
As she fell into deep thought, Guan Yupian's footsteps slowed down involuntarily. She suddenly realized that there was a sound that was a little softer. A flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in her mind, and she was enlightened.
Yes, it was for this.
She looked down at the wooden wheel and slowed down even more. When she pushed it a little slower, she found that the sound was even softer. She couldn't help but laugh. Actually, she was a very kind person. She would not neglect him just because he was rude and unreasonable. She would still pay more attention to what she should do.
After all, his nature wasn't bad. It was said that his temperament changed drastically because he injured his leg during the battle…Actually, even if the old steward didn't tell her about this, she could still see it.
These few days, she had deliberately tested his temperament, and the answer was quite satisfactory.
If he was a prince who had been pampered since he was young, why would he sympathize with her bringing a pair of children and even be willing to let little Lan Zhi enter the backyard to play?
"Didn't you not consummate your marriage with your husband? You don't need to call yourself a widow at all. Moreover, if you want to remarry, no one can say anything about you.”The jolt seemed to have slowed down a little, and even the sound was softer, but his heart was uneasy.
Did she do it on purpose? Did she notice? How did she find out?
Damn it! Was she trying to humiliate him? Humiliating him for being a crippled prince who couldn't walk?
"But husband's kindness to this servant is like this servant being reborn. This servant is willing to spend the rest of my life taking care of this pair of children. Even though they didn't consummate the marriage, this servant had long since determined that she was a member of the Guan family and had no intention of remarrying.”Sigh! She didn't know how many times she had used this excuse. She couldn't even remember. "Moreover, Jiejue doesn't allow this servant to remarry. As the saying goes, when the husband dies, the son will follow. As a mother, how can this servant not obey him?”
In any case, as long as she went to a certain mansion, someone would ask her this question, and her answer would always be the same, which made her feel annoyed.
However…she felt that there was something wrong with his tone.
"Humph! What an infatuated beauty." He snorted coldly.
If she wanted to be a widow with a pure body, she would have to ask if he would allow it.
"Your Highness?" She was stunned.
Oh, she really didn't hear wrongly. Not only did he have a hidden meaning in his words, but there was also a hint of contempt in them. Although what she said just now was one of her tricks, every word was true. It was indeed her intention. How could he be so disdainful?
"Open the door."
Tie Zhanye's cold eyes stared at the gate of the courtyard as he ordered coldly.
"Yes." Despite his doubts, Guan Yupian still opened the door and pushed him in." Your Highness, are you going back to your room? Do you want to rest in this hall for a while?"”
" Accompanying the king is like accompanying a tiger." This sentence was not wrong at all.
In the past, he had heard people say that the nobles in the capital were the hardest to serve. It was indeed true. He could chat with her one moment, but the next moment, he had become a cold-faced Rakshasa. It was really hard to fathom.
However, what she needed to figure out was not him, but where the treasures in the Imperial Residence were.
"Benwang wants to go to the study." A wave of heat rushed straight to his chest, making him extremely frustrated.
"Where is the study?" she asked softly.
Although he had been asking her to accompany him recently, this was the first time she had stepped into his courtyard. How would she know where his study was? Usually, it was his closest servant, Geyou, who pushed him outside and took care of his daily life. As for Jie Jue, he only wanted him to serve him to punish them. In fact, he did not have the identity of a servant.
It would be more appropriate to say that he was a long-term worker. She wouldn't let Jiejue suffer for too long. After all, it wasn't good to stay here for long.
"Just walk towards the eastern corridor.”
Tie Zhanye sat on the wooden wheelchair, resting his chin on his hands and staring at the spotless corridor with his charming eyes. The increasingly cold weather outside made his knees ache, but he did not feel as uncomfortable as before. Instead, the fragrance coming from behind him made him feel irritated.
He was angry at her for being overly understanding, but he was also nostalgic for the fragrance on her body that made his heart flutter. Had he not been close to women for too long?
"This way?" She pushed him to the east corridor and suddenly saw him gently rubbing his knees. He seemed to be in pain. "Your highness, this servant heard from the steward that your highness 'foot injury is not serious. If you rest well and practice walking, you don't need to sit in this wooden wheelchair.”
She didn't know how serious his injuries were. If he could recover, why was he still sitting in this wooden wheelchair?
Moreover, if he couldn't move, it would hurt his self-esteem.
"How much do you know?" Tie Zhanye shouted angrily.
How could that damned old man Ha Chitu slip his tongue? Even though the people in the Prince's mansion were all his trusted aides, he had never liked people mentioning this matter. How could Ha Chitu not know?
And Ha Chitu was actually asking her what was going on?
Guan Yupian was stunned. He loosened his grip on the wooden wheelchair, causing it to lose its balance and get stuck by the fence of the corridor, causing Tie Zhanye to fall to the ground in a sorry state.
"Your Highness?" Oh no! Why did she let go? "Your Highness, are you alright?"
Guan Yupian hurriedly ran to his side and placed his hands on his shoulders, wanting to help him up, but he was pushed away roughly.
Aiyo, really a dog biting Lu Dongbin, don't know a good person's heart! She was kind enough to help him up, but why did he…
However, when she saw him glaring at her in anger, no matter how unwilling she was, she knelt down beside him.
Guan Yupian insisted on helping him up, but he angrily flung his hand away.
She didn't do it on purpose. Who asked him to shout so loudly just now? It was natural for her to be frightened, and it was normal for her to let go of her hand after being frightened. The reason why he fell to the ground was that he had brought it upon himself. How could he blame her?
But who was right and who was wrong had to be put aside first. The main point was that he, the dignified King Tie Le, had fallen to the ground.
"This servant deserves to die, I actually let go of my hand. Your highness, please let this servant help you up.”Although he shook off her hand, she still had to move forward to let him shake her off.
This was the Imperial Residence, and he couldn't just brush it off. Moreover, there was something wrong with his legs.
"You can't help this king!"
Bastard! She actually made him fall to the ground in such an embarrassing manner, and he was actually so cowardly that he could not stand up!
"Wangye, you can first prop up your body and let this servant help you sit back on the wooden wheelchair.”She knelt on the ground, her watery eyes filled with worry.
She was really afraid of death! She was afraid that he would be unhappy and she did not know who he would start with again. If he was targeting her, she was not afraid. She was afraid that he would get angry and ask for the lives of the three of them to apologize.
"Even if this king were to prop himself up, you wouldn't be able to do it with this bit of strength!”He roared angrily, trying to hide his embarrassment with anger.
Damn it! Why could he still smell the alluring fragrance on her body?
He should be angry, he should be ashamed, he should cut her to death, he must not let anyone see him in such a sorry state, but he could still smell that fragrance…If it wasn't for that fragrance, how could he fall to the ground defenseless?
Tie Zhanye propped his upper body up with his arms in a sorry state. As soon as Guan Yupian leaned over, he would mercilessly push her away.
"Then what should we do?"
Why was he so assertive? If he didn't try, how would he know that she wouldn't be able to lift him up? She didn't dare to say that she was extremely strong, but she had done a lot of rough work, so she had some strength. Moreover, he looked a little weak, so she should be able to help him.
Tie Zhanye closed his eyes in anger and embarrassment for a long time before he shouted hatefully,""Geyou!"
Damn it, even if he was a trusted aide, he didn't want Geyou to see his cowardly appearance. He really had no choice…
Suddenly, Ge You flew out of nowhere. In the blink of an eye, Ge You appeared beside Tie Zhanye and helped him up respectfully.
"You may leave." Tie Zhanye panted slightly as he sat in the wooden wheelchair. He didn't even look at her and signaled for Ge You to push him back into the room.
"Oh…yes."
She stood up and bowed her head to see him off. Guan Yupian couldn't help but sigh in his heart. What a pity. He could have entered his study room and brazenly investigated the situation. He didn't expect that such a great opportunity would be ruined by him.
Sigh, the security in the residence was so tight, and there was also such a skilled servant like Ge You guarding it. How was she going to sneak into this courtyard?
What a waste of this opportunity!
It was quiet in the middle of the night. After nightfall, the manor felt a little deserted. The guards on duty had all returned to their rooms to rest, leaving only a few guards guarding the important places.
If he didn't make a move at such an excellent opportunity, he would be letting himself down.
"Where are you going?" Guan Jiejue asked curiously.
"Take good care of Little Lan Zhi. If she kicks the blanket again in the middle of the night, remember to cover her up.”Guan Yupian patted his shoulder. She was dressed for a night raid. "Eh? The weather is quite cold. Why is your body so hot?”
She put her hand on his shoulder and felt the abnormal temperature coming from his body.
Guan Jiejue shook her hand away unnaturally. " I'm young and strong. I'm not as afraid of the cold as you are. It's normal for my body to be a little hot. But you, if you want to go out now, don't tell me you're planning to go…"
"It's good that you know. Don't say it out loud."
She wanted to cover his mouth, but when she thought of his strange personality in his youth, she gave up the idea. Sigh, Jie Jue had changed a lot in the past two years. He no longer clung to her and even pushed her away. Right, she seemed to be pushed away a lot recently.
"What exactly happened to you?" Guan Jiejue felt light-headed and uncomfortable, but he still wanted to stop her. "This is the Imperial Residence, how many times have I told you? This is not a place where you can behave as you please!”
"Are you worried about me?" She asked in a low voice and smiled.
"Pfft! Do you think I'm worried about you?" He snorted coldly and turned his face away to hide the worry in his eyes. "You have to know that if you are captured, then Lan Zhi and I will be dragged down by you.”
"Then don't worry, because I won't be caught.”She pursed her lips and a trace of loneliness flashed across her heart. She was sad that he was not worried about her. However, no matter what he was thinking, she would not change her mind easily.
"You!" He couldn't help but feel angry. "You woman…you keep saying that you are my mother. Shouldn't you obey my orders?”
He had always used the phrase " when the husband dies, the son " to deceive people. He had always used him to deceive people. Now that he really wanted her to obey him, would she be willing?
"Then call me mother first." She was waiting.
If he was really willing to call her " Mother ", it meant that he really treated her as his mother. She might consider giving up on tonight's night attack for him.
"You!" He glared at her.
She was the one who wanted to take the risk. He was kind enough to stop her, but she actually wanted to take advantage of him? Forget it, let her be!
Guan Yupian saw him turn his face away and raised her eyebrows. She did not mind. After all, this was not the first time he had rejected her. She was already numb to it.
"Then I'll go. Take care of Little Lan Zhi.”
As soon as she finished speaking, she stepped out of the door and flipped onto the roof. She moved on the roof like a thin feather and disappeared into the dark night sky in the blink of an eye.
There was a reason why she was named "Yu Pian" back then. The reason was that her footsteps were light, as soft as feathers. That was why the leader specially taught her Qinggong so that she would not be caught when she stole people's property.
Hehe, although she wasn't a kind citizen, she was also a righteous person. It wasn't just any random family that could let her show her skills.
However, she did not have any grudges with this prince, and she had never heard anyone say that this prince was cruel and cruel, and that he was torturing the people. That's right, she only took ill-gotten gains, and this wangye didn't do anything unforgivable, so what property did she want to take from him?
Thinking of this, she could not help but stop in her tracks and fall into deep thought.
Yes, in the past, her targets were either rich and heartless merchants or corrupt officials who abused the people. Now, she could not find a reason to steal the prince's treasures. This was a little difficult for her.
Was he someone who was unpredictable and difficult to please? It felt like he was being unreasonable. After all, he had treated the mother and son well and had never used any physical torture on them. Or was it that he…was angry at every turn and even pushed her away forcefully, causing her to get many bruises? Wasn't this a little like an excuse to accuse him?
After all, a once vigorous and high-spirited prince could only be locked up in his own mansion because of a war. It was no wonder that his temperament had changed so much.
No, why was she always saying good things about him?
Nobles like them were usually very arrogant. They exploited the people's fat and used it for their own use. They could not be considered kind people no matter what. So she wanted to steal some of his treasures and silver to help the poor. It could be considered as accumulating some evil virtue for him. Who knew, his legs might recover because of this. At that time, he would have to thank her!
Moreover, didn't she sneak into the Imperial Residence to steal property? It had already been delayed for several days. If he didn't hurry up and take the things and leave, could it be that he had to wait until this wangye's lecherous heart rose before leaving?
After Guan Yupian found out the reason for the theft, she went to Tie Zhanye's courtyard and landed on the path of his courtyard like a fallen leaf. She crept into his courtyard and quietly walked toward the east corridor he mentioned today.
Hehe, that was the study room, and he should be in the dormitory at this time. Generally, rich families would hide their precious things in their study. He hoped that this Prince Tie Le was just an ordinary person.
She quickly walked through the corridor and reached the end. She opened the vermilion wooden door. It was dark inside, so she had to walk with her hands against the wall. She found a candlestick in the dark study and gently lit it. She looked around the interior and saw that there were two rows of bookshelves extending to the end. There were stone tables and wooden chairs on one side, and there was a screen in the middle.
Aiya, from the looks of it, there didn't seem to be anything valuable inside.
Guan Yupian took the candlestick and walked to the bookshelf, hoping to find some boxes or ornaments on it.
He was a prince, how could he not have some decorations in his study?
Guan Yupian held the candlestick in one hand and rummaged through the bookshelves with the other.
She naturally couldn't reach the top shelf, but it seemed to be filled with books. It was unlikely that there would be anything valuable. As for the lower shelves, she naturally wouldn't let go.
As she walked, she touched a cold jade pendant. She took it out and took a look. This jade pendant was emerald green and shiny. She could tell at a glance that it was a high-grade item.
Look, the Imperial Residence was different from ordinary people. With a casual touch, she could find a valuable jade pendant. If she were to look for it carefully, would she be afraid that she would not be able to find something more valuable?
She put the jade pendant into the sachet tied to her waist and slowly searched again. However, she was so focused on finding the treasure that her eyes were fixed on the bookshelf. Naturally, the candlelight only shone on the bookshelf, so she did not notice that there was a low table beside the bookshelf. When she wasn't paying attention, her foot hit the short table firmly. It made a loud noise, but it was so painful that she wanted to scream but didn't dare to make a sound.
Ge You's martial arts skills were very good, and his hearing must be very good. If she shouted, he would definitely find her here.
"Who's there?"
Tie Zhanye's ghost-like voice sounded, as if he had been waiting for her in silence.
Guan Yupian looked up at the screen in surprise and saw the figure behind the screen. She was so frightened that she quickly blew out the candle flame.
Heavens, why was he here?
She was really too careless to not check every corner carefully. However, it was fine. It was inconvenient for him to move anyway. If he really wanted to chase after her, he would definitely not be able to catch her. However, if he called for Geo, it would be bad.
Should she leave first or knock him out first?
As she was thinking, she suddenly heard the sound of something heavy falling. She looked up at the screen and found that the screen had been pushed down, and it seemed that he had deliberately pushed it down.
By doing this, wasn't he forcing her to use her trump card?
She wasn't very willing, but now that things had come to this, he had forced her.#
