The next day, Situ Manyao did not go out. The sun was just right, so she sat in the courtyard on the chair she had brought over as usual and basked in the sun.
Although Ling Feng did not tell Chu Yixuan that she had sneaked out with Lian Xin, she could not be too unscrupulous. Once Chu Yixuan found out, she was afraid that it would become a reason for him to torture her.
As Situ Manyao's personal maid, Lian Xin did not need to manage all the trivial matters in the residence.
Thus, he sat beside Situ Manyao and began to embroider and chat with her.
This was the scene that Chu Yixuan saw when he arrived at the east courtyard.
Situ Mantiao was lying on a recliner, her eyes slightly narrowed. Because she was talking to Lian Xin, she had a faint smile on her face.
Chu Yixuan looked at the sunlight shining on her face bit by bit. Looking at her beautiful appearance, he actually lost himself for a moment.
Was it really as Ling Feng said, that she wasn't the one who murdered Yuqing?
Situ Mantiao saw someone standing not far away from him. She looked up and realized that it was Chu Yixuan.
The smile on his face instantly sank. He looked away and pretended not to see it.
Lian Xin noticed the slightly awkward expression on Miss's face and turned her head to see Chu Yixuan looking in her direction.
She couldn't help but think of what happened last time.
Her eyes darkened as she stood up and walked towards Chu Yixuan.
"Wangye, is there something you need from wangfei?”
Perhaps it was because of her identity, but Lian Xin's personality was much different from Situ Manyao's.
She didn't like wangye and had an inexplicable fear of him, but she knew that if she were to throw a tantrum like miss, she would definitely not get a good result and might even implicate miss.
As expected, not everyone could be so willful.
Chu Yixuan snorted coldly and did not say anything. He slowly walked to Situ Manyao's side.
Situ Manyao was still lying there with her eyes narrowed, and she didn't seem to have any intention of greeting him.
Chu Yixuan's mood was swept away and anger rose in his heart.
He bent down slightly and slowly approached Situ Manyao, the cold air around him becoming even colder.
Situ Mantian didn't know what he was going to do, and the alarm bells in her heart rang. She opened her eyes and jumped away.
"What are you doing?"
She didn't hide her dislike for him at all.
Chu Yixuan's lips curled into a smug smile. He sneered and looked at her indifferently.
"Does wangfei not know manners? She knows that this king is here but she doesn't know how to bow?”
His face was calm, but his words were full of blame.
Situ Mantiao was not stupid, so she naturally understood what he meant. She glanced at him coldly and looked away.
"Your Highness is always silent. I lie on the recliner with my eyes closed. How would I know that you've come?”
"Wangfei, you are really quick to get rid of it. It's all my fault. As this king's beloved concubine, you lie in this kind of place every day without caring about your image.”
Situ Mantian was unhappy and wanted to retort, but Lian Xin shook her head at him.
Situ Mantiao's anger was slowly extinguished, as if a basin of water had been poured over him.
She remembered the injury on Lianxin's back. She had just recovered.
She also remembered the last time at the Empress Dowager's place, she had pitifully threatened her.
As a former assassin, she naturally knew that the most fatal thing was to let the enemy know her weakness.
He, Chu Yixuan, must have only known the place of Lian Xin in his heart, that was why he was like this.
Situ Mantian glanced at Lian Xin and slowly closed her mouth.
She couldn't let Lianxin get hurt because of her.
"Your Highness came to the east courtyard to find me today. Could it be that you want me to learn etiquette?”
Her tone was full of impatience. She, Situ Mantian, was not a picky person, nor was she an arrogant and despotic young lady. If Chu Yixuan did not come to cause trouble for her time and time again, she would not be disgusted by this place.
"This etiquette naturally has to be learned, but wangfei, it is not my turn to personally teach you.”
As he said this, Chu Yixuan looked up and down the courtyard.
It was already winter, and the leaves had already turned yellow. They fluttered and fell on the ground, but they did not look ugly. It could only be said that they were even more unique.
When he lived here in the Green Garden, he rarely came here and felt that there was something eye-catching about this place.
Looking at the potted plants and the fallen leaves on the ground, an inexplicable warmth rose in his heart.
A hint of panic flashed in his eyes, but it quickly disappeared.
"I can't ask for more!"
Situ Manyao looked away with disdain.
"Humph."
Chu Yixuan's face darkened and his eyes seemed to burn with flames. He was about to say something when he was interrupted by the servant beside him.
"Wangye, didn't you come to find wangfei today to say something?”
Chu Yixuan finally remembered the serious matter and restrained some of the anger on his face. He and Situ Mantiao were like water and fire, unable to tolerate each other every time they met.
"In two days, it will be the emperor's birthday. Prepare yourself, don't disgrace my Xuan Prince Manor.”
"If your highness thinks that I've disgraced the wang fu, you can just not let me go.”
Situ Mantiao was also disdainful. She didn't want to get involved in the open and secret struggles in the Imperial Palace.
However, she knew that if she didn't go, not to mention the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, she wouldn't be able to explain herself in front of the ministers of the court.
As the main consort of the Xuan Prince Manor, she had to be present.
"Don't threaten me at a time like this. I want to see if you really dare not go. You have to bear all the consequences yourself!”
He gritted his teeth and slowly spat out these words. Situ Mantian's heart skipped a beat, and she didn't say anything else.
They shouldn't have such a direct conflict.
She still had enough time to slowly fight with him.
"What a coincidence!" Situ Mantiao looked at Lian Xin and gestured for her to come to his side.
"I, Situ Manyao, hate it when people threaten me, but since it's His Highness's order, I'll naturally go.”
She had a smile on her face and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly. The fallen leaves behind her fluttered in the wind, and her long hair fluttered in the wind. From afar, she looked like a painting.
Chu Yixuan was satisfied with this answer. He nodded and took a few steps back with his hands behind his back.
"You don't need to prepare your birthday gift. I've already made arrangements. Remember your words and deeds in the palace. If you provoke any trouble, I will just stand by and watch.”
He spat out the words one by one without any emotion.
"Your Highness is reminding me not to give you unnecessary trouble?”
Situ Mantian sneered, a hint of scheming in her eyes.
Chu Yixuan dismissed the servant behind him.""You can go back first. I still have things to do.”
In recent days, he had been busy with political affairs and had taken on many things from the Emperor. He hoped that he could be busy.
He had to admit that when Situ Manyao first married into the family, he had placed all his hatred on her.
It was as if he wanted to feel better in his heart. He thought about how to torture her every day.
She was thinking about how to avenge Yuqing.
He tried his best to use her pain to exchange for a trace of comfort in his heart.
However, it was useless.
He had made her suffer as he wished, but his heart was still empty.
Liancheng Yao's brows raised slightly. He squeezed his hands hard, got on his horse, and galloped into the distance.
It was a market after all. Although there were not many people, it was still not suitable for riding a horse. Chu Yixuan sat on the horse and walked slowly into the distance.
The sunlight was warm on his body. He seemed to know why Situ Manyao liked to bask in the sun so much.
Soon, they reached a lake. Chu Yixuan dismounted and led the horse to the lake.
This was the place where he and Yu Qing frequented.
Every time he missed her badly, he would come to this place to sit for a while and relieve his pain of wanting to die.
"Yuqing, I still haven't found out who murdered you.”
A hint of helplessness appeared on his originally cold face, but more of it was loneliness.
If she was still alive and well and hadn't gone missing, the two of them would have been together a long time ago.
How could there be such pain?
He sat on the shore and thought about Ji Yuqing's usual words and smiles. He felt that the world was unpredictable.
When he was with Yuqing, he never thought that this would happen. If he had known earlier…
If he had known that this would happen, he would have protected her even if he had to give up his life.
Chu Yixuan felt a wave of frustration in his heart. Suddenly, he heard the sound of horse hooves. Chu Yixuan stood up warily. When he saw the expression on the person's face, he slowly relaxed.
"Why are you here?"
When the footsteps behind him approached, he slowly opened his mouth. His tone was calm and emotionless.
"I couldn't find you in the residence, so I thought you should have come here.”
Ling Feng tied the horse to the tree and slowly walked to Chu Yixuan's side.
"Feng, do you think Yuqing…did something happen to her?”
He always couldn't help but think like this. Then, in order to make himself feel better, he denied these thoughts.
To him, every day was torture.
"Xuan, don't let your imagination run wild. We don't have Yuqing's situation yet, but it doesn't mean that something happened to her.”
Ling Feng did not know how to comfort him. He was not good at this kind of thing, but he could naturally see Chu Yixuan's sadness.
"Although I'm not sure if Situ Manyao is behind all this, if it really is her, I won't let her off!”
"If the culprit behind this is really wangfei, I won't stop you.”
Everyone had to pay the price for what they had done, so he wouldn't care.
However, for some reason, in his heart, he had always believed her.
How could a person with such eyes and personality be so ruthless as to hurt an innocent and weak woman?
The two of them stood side by side, their eyes filled with inexplicable silence.# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:111420184: 35PM #Cancel Review All: wdd201302 Time:111420185: 55PM #
