Li Yuan's voice was light and calm.
He could only see a faint figure behind the screen.
Chu Youwei's face was flushed red with a hint of sweat. When Li Yuan came in and closed the door, she had already taken out her dagger, thinking that if the intruder dared to do anything, she would not be able to escape.
She committed suicide.
However, after the person in front of him entered, it was as if he was waiting for the matter outside to end.
He didn't make any other requests and only asked her to play a song.
Although Chu You Wei couldn't see what was happening outside, Pei Hao was no longer able to make a sound. He knew that the person in front of him was no ordinary person.
Chu Youwei carefully put down the dagger and said gently,""This Langjun, I thank you here. If you don't mind, I will play a song for you.”
Li Yuan did not speak.
Chu Youwei's fingertips also landed on the zither strings.
The sound of the zither exploded and then turned low.
Gradually, there were occasional jades jumping in the low voice, crisp and short. The complex sound gradually increased, first like a splashing spring. Li Yuan closed his eyes.
He felt as if he was in a forest.
The spring breeze caressed his face, birds chirped, and the fragrance of flowers seemed to waft through the air.
Everything ended when the music disappeared.
Li Yuancai opened his eyes. He finally understood why Eunuch Lin had said that Chu Youwei was skilled in the four arts.
However, he looked behind the screen and smiled.
Without saying another word, he turned around and left the room.
Chu Youwei had been worried that Li Yuan would push his luck, but seeing Li Yuan's determination, she was a little reluctant to part with him. She was even more curious about Li Yuan's identity.
She hurriedly stood up and walked out of the screen, but the room was already empty.
Creak--
The door opened once again, and Chu You hurriedly dodged. It was Zhangsun Wugou who walked in with an anxious expression.
Zhangsun Wugou pulled Chu Youwei and said,""Youwei, are you alright?"
"I just heard the news in the Eastern Palace and hurried over. The Crown Prince is moving his residence today, so the journey is a little long.”
When Chu Youwei saw that it was Zhangsun Wugou, she let out a sigh and said,""Wugou, it's my fault, but a Langjun helped me out just now.”
"Did you see him when you went upstairs just now?”
Chu Youwei sounded a little anxious.
When Zhangsun Wugou heard this, he was stunned for a moment before saying,""I didn't see him, but I came in from the side door just now. I might have missed him.”
"What, you don't know him?"
Chu You shook her head and pulled Zhangsun Wugou to sit down.
There seemed to be a trace of worry in his eyes.
It added a sense of weakness.
She just wanted to be embraced and pitied.
Zhangsun Wugou was full of heroic spirit. He held Chu Youwei's hand and said,""Youwei, I heard that Pei Hao came to find trouble with you again today.”
"In the future, I might have to stay in the Eastern Palace and won't be able to see you.”
"If you're worried, why don't you come with me to the Eastern Palace?”
"Imperial Father asked Shi Min to help him handle the political affairs, so I'm afraid he won't return to the palace every day.”
Hearing Zhangsun Wugou's concern, Chu Youwei tactfully said,""Wugou, if you hadn't taken care of me all these years, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be able to keep the family property my father gave me.”
"You're already the Crown Princess and have a noble status. I'll live in my own mansion from now on.”
"He's staying in seclusion. I believe that no matter how daring Pei Hao is, he wouldn't dare to barge into the Zhangsun Manor.”
Chu You's eyes were watery as she looked at the scenery outside the window.
For some reason.
The image of Li Yuan behind the screen appeared in her mind. All these years, she had been like a rootless duckweed, as if she had only played the zither just now.
Only then did she feel a sense of security.
Zhangsun Wugou couldn't bear to see his good friend like this. He held Chu Youwei's hand and said,""Youwei, don't worry. I will come out of the palace to see you in the future.”
As Zhangsun Wugou spoke, he thought for a moment and said,"In a while, I'll go ask the manager of the restaurant.”
" He's a local of Chang 'an. I think he should know the person who saved you, even if he's not familiar with him."”
Chu You Wei's eyes lit up when she heard this.
It was as if the entire world had been lit up. She looked at Zhangsun Wugou with a burning gaze and said,"Wugou, thank you."
Zhangsun Wugou had grown up with Chu Youwei, so how could she not know what Chu Youwei was thinking when she saw this? She leaned over and whispered into her ear,""Youwei, do you like that man?”
"I'll have to ask him later. Is it that man from Chang 'an who can make our Youwei look at him in a new light?”
Chu You Wei blushed.
She lowered her head and said softly,"Wugou, you're spouting nonsense again."
Zhangsun Wugou smiled, then pulled Chu Youwei to her feet and said,""Youwei, don't lie to me. Wait for me to find out.”
"If you really like it, I will personally ask the Crown Prince to propose marriage to you.”
"Or my big brother can do it."
"If you can find a home, I'll be much more at ease. Back then, Uncle Chu treated me like his own daughter.”
Zhangsun Wugou's words were sincere.
Unfortunately, he didn't know that Chu Youwei had taken a fancy to Li Yuan!
Hearing Zhangsun Wugou's words, Chu Youwei's mood also sank.
Zhangsun Wuji and Zhangsun Wugou's parents had passed away a long time ago. At that time, Zhangsun Wugou had a good relationship with her, so they had always played together. The relationship between the two families was also very good.
It was a pity that her father had died on the way. Fortunately, Zhangsun Wuji followed Li Shiming, and she also borrowed the shade of a big tree from Zhangsun Wugou.
Chu Youwei did not say anything.
However, she was also thinking in her heart, If I find a suitable husband, my father's soul in heaven should be gratified.”
"I just don't know who that person is!”
Chu Youwei and Zhangsun Wugou rode the carriage back to Zhangsun Manor.
Li Yuan led his men and headed straight for the Prime Minister's residence.
Pei Ji had been arrogant because of his favor these few years. Now, it was also time to settle the score!
