The Second Prince looked at Nalan Jingjing in surprise. His eyes were filled with surprise. Nalan Youyou was locked in the dark room? When did this happen? Why didn't he know? And why was he so angry?
"The reason is very simple. It was because she rejected the Second Prince's marriage proposal, so the old madam locked Nalan Youyou up in a fit of anger.”Nalan Jingjing saw the doubts in the Second Prince's heart and explained to him with a smile," Moreover, the old madam has also given the order that if she does not agree to the Second Prince's marriage proposal, she will never be able to come out.”
"Oh? Haha, this is quite surprising." Hearing Nalan Jingjing's words, the Second Prince fell into deep thought. The attitude of the old lady surprised him. He thought that if Nalan Youyou did not agree, he could only ask the Emperor to bestow a marriage. Now, it seemed that he did not need to go. The old lady had helped him. He only needed to plead for Nalan Youyou and make Nalan Youyou grateful to him. Then, she could marry him smoothly.
This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Looking at the Second Prince's excited eyes, a cold smile flashed across Nalan Jingjing's eyes and disappeared in the blink of an eye. "Today, Jingjing came to tell the second prince about this matter. Now that Jingjing has told him about it, Jingjing will leave first. Goodbye, Jingjing." The Second Prince waved his hand and Nalan Jingjing left.
Beiming Ye kept thinking. He stood up and walked non-stop in the hall. He originally planned to go to the Nalan residence immediately, but thinking about how Nalan Jingjing had just arrived, if he went out immediately, he was afraid that it would attract the attention of people with ill intentions. Beiming Ye suppressed his excitement and sat for a long time. Seeing that it was almost time, it was not a problem to go now.
Beiming Ye brought his men to Nalan Manor.
"The Second Prince has arrived!" Outside the Nalan Residence, the sound of someone singing could be heard. Nalan Peiyi, who was reading in her study, was startled by the servant's voice and rushed out. As she ran out, she wondered what the Second Prince was doing here at this hour.!
Beiming Ye was already waiting in the hall when Nalan Peiyi came out." I pay my respects to Your Highness, Second Prince. Please forgive me for not coming out to greet you."”
"Lord Nalan, what are you saying? This prince has come without warning, please don't blame me.”The Second Prince helped Nalan Peiyi up affectionately and invited her to sit down." I came to the Nalan Residence today for some private matters, so you don't have to be so polite."”
"Your Highness the Second Prince is too polite. May I know what instructions you have for my Nalan Residence today?”Seeing Beiming Ye being so polite, Nalan Peiyi felt even more frightened. The Second Prince's sudden politeness was definitely not something simple. Nalan Peiyi was treading on thin ice as she watched the Second Prince carefully compensate her.
The second prince knew that it was useless to say anything more when he saw Nalan Peiyi's cautious expression, so he pretended not to see anything.
She found a seat and sat down." Lord Nalan, you're being too serious. I came here only to see Youyou. I'm just not sure if I'm disturbing you."”
"You're welcome." Nalan Peiyi quickly expressed her stance, but she was speechless. What could he do if she had disturbed him? Don't tell me that you're disturbing me, Second Prince, so please leave now? That was definitely impossible.
"That's good." Beiming Ye looked at Nalan Peiyi's expression and nodded in satisfaction." In that case, can you please invite Youyou out?" This prince wants to see you, and after that, this prince will leave immediately.”
" This…" Nalan Peiyi was a little troubled. Nalan Youyou was still locked up in the dark room, and she hadn't been given any food for the past two days. If she were to come to see the Second Prince, not only would she offend the Second Prince, but she would also have to get angry with the Second Prince's attitude. It wouldn't do her any good.
Seeing Nalan Peiyi's expression, how could Beiming Ye not know what he was thinking? However, he had come here today to find Nalan Youyou. He had to see her no matter what.
"What's wrong? Seeing that Lord Nalan seemed to be in a difficult position, he did not know what was going on. Could it be that something happened to Youyou?”Beiming Ye narrowed his eyes dangerously, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. Sensing Beiming Ye's attitude, Nalan Peiyi hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed.
"Your Highness, you've misunderstood. It's just that my daughter's body has been a little unwell recently, so it's not appropriate for me to see Your Highness now, lest my daughter offend Your Highness 'noble body.”
"It's fine. Youyou is my future wife. I can't bear to see her like this. Please bring me over to see her now. If your health is really not good, then I will immediately send someone into the palace to invite the imperial physician over for Youyou.”As the Second Prince spoke, he waved his hand and was about to call someone to the Imperial Palace to ask the Imperial Physician to come out and treat Nalan Youyou.
Nalan Peiyi was so frightened that she quickly came down from the carriage and said," Thank you for your concern, Second Prince. However, Youyou is not in the Nalan Residence right now. If Your Highness doesn't mind, I'll have Youyou personally visit you tomorrow to thank you for your kindness."”
With that, Nalan Peiyi bowed deeply. With Nalan Youyou's current condition, she couldn't let Nalan Youyou meet the Second Prince no matter what. If she met the Second Prince and found out the truth, the Nalan Residence would never be able to clear their name of abusing the female officials of the court.
Listening to Nalan Peiyi's tearful look, Beiming Ye was even more certain of Nalan Jingjing's words. It seemed that Nalan Youyou was definitely locked in the dark room and hadn't been able to get close to anything for the past few days. If he were to see Nalan Youyou like this, he could accuse the Nalan family of abusing the female officials of the court.
It seemed that he would have to put in some effort if he wanted to see Nalan Youyou today. "In that case, please tell this highness where Youyou went. This highness will personally go and find her.”He didn't believe that Nalan Peiyi would lie to him.
When Nalan Jingjing returned to her room, she saw Luo Yin quickly come up to welcome her," Miss, you're finally back. Just now, the Second Mistress came over. This servant didn't dare to let the Second Mistress know. She only said that the Second Mistress went out shopping."”
"Mm, well done. Remember, no one is allowed to say anything about me going out, understand?”Nalan Jingjing nodded her head in satisfaction. She quickly tidied herself up and changed her clothes. If she did not calculate wrongly, Beiming Ye would definitely appear in Nalan Manor in less than an hour. Nalan Jingjing quickly sent Luo Yin to the front to keep an eye on the situation. If the Second Prince arrived, inform her immediately.
Nalan Jingjing was right. In less than an hour, Luo Yin came back to report that the Second Prince had arrived. Nalan Jingjing led Luo Yin to the main hall.
"Father, father, I just went to see big sister. I'm afraid big sister is starving from not eating for the past two days.”Nalan Jingjing adjusted her breathing to make it look like she had run for a long distance. Her neat clothes were slightly messy as she rushed into the hall and shouted anxiously.
In the end, Nalan Jingjing fell to the ground because she did not stand steadily. A large wound was also cut on her soft skin.
Hearing Nalan Jingjing's words, Nalan Peiyi's face turned as dark as water. However, seeing her daughter rush out so rudely, she was even more furious. Just as she was about to teach Nalan Jingjing a lesson, she realized that Nalan Jingjing was looking at her with tears in her eyes. There was a long cut on her hand that was carefully raised, and fresh blood was seeping out.
Nalan Peiyi's anger immediately turned into heartache. However, Nalan Jingjing's fall made people feel that she was genuinely concerned about Nalan Youyou. She was so anxious that she did not even care about etiquette.
"Jing Jing, why are you so anxious? If there's something that can't be said slowly, why are you still standing there? Hurry up and call the doctor!”Nalan Peiyi helped Nalan Jingjing up from the ground and glared at Luo Yin.
Luo Yin didn't expect Nalan Jingjing to be so skilled that she actually injured herself. She stood rooted to the ground, and only reacted when Nalan Peiyi shouted at her angrily did she run out like a rabbit.
Nalan Peiyi watched with concern as Nalan Jingjing completely ignored Beiming Ye, who was sitting at the head of the table. Beiming Ye, who was sitting at the head of the table, was furious when he saw Nalan Peiyi looking down on him. However, he was here to see Nalan Youyou, so he could only suppress his anger and cough a few times to remind her.
Nalan Peiyi was too concerned about Nalan Jingjing's condition to notice Beiming Ye. Nalan Jingjing endured the pain in her hand and followed the voice. She happened to see Beiming Ye sitting there drinking tea with a dark expression. Nalan Jingjing knelt down with a thud.
"This official's daughter Nalan Jingjing greets Your Highness the Second Prince. Just now, Jingjing did not see that the Second Prince had been impolite here.”Nalan Jingjing revealed a look of fear as she spoke. Nalan Peiyi only remembered that the Second Prince was still here when she saw Nalan Jingjing kneeling down and kowtowing in fear.
Nalan Peiyi hurriedly knelt down. She had just lied to the Second Prince, so wouldn't the Second Prince vent his anger on her now? At this thought, Nalan Pei Yi broke out in cold sweat.
Beiming Ye glanced at Nalan Peiyi, who was kneeling on the ground, and snorted coldly." I came here today to see Youyou, but Sir Nalan just said that Youyou wasn't in the residence. Now that Second Miss Nalan has said so, I wonder how Sir Nalan is going to explain himself?"”#
