"Ran?"
Song Yuning looked shocked.
Song Wan nodded, his face not looking good either.
After the palace banquet, the prince came alone to look for his aunt. He must have something important to do, but she didn't know if she was delaying anything here.
Moreover, the prince's reaction was really strange, and he couldn't even think about it.
Song Wan only felt that something big must have happened to make the prince lose his temper like this.
But she couldn't figure out what kind of thing could make the prince, who had been a hostage since childhood, panic like this.
Song Yuning frowned: "Don't pay attention. No matter how big the matter is, you will know it tomorrow."
"Auntie is right."
Putting the brocade cloak in her hand on Song Wan, Song Yuning said, "I'll ask Changping to take you back home."
Song Wan nodded, unaware that Shen Qianyu had not calmed down even after returning to the East Palace.
Wan Xiao and Ji Rong were in the East Palace watching the palace maids attaching the Yichun Tie. The two of them stood under the eaves and saw Shen Qianyu, his face as heavy as water, striding hurriedly from outside.
"Your Highness is not going to..."
Before Wan Xiao could finish speaking, his master disappeared in front of him, leaving only a gust of wind.
"what happened?"
Ji Rong shook his head, and the two looked at each other and followed.
Shen Qianyu took off the crown prince's crown and plunged into the white jade pool in the East Palace.
The two came in, Ji Rong picked up the clothes on the ground, while Wan Xiao squatted by the pool, looking at Shen Qianyu with his eyes closed and an annoyed look on his face.
"Your Highness, what's going on?"
"Don't make any noise."
There are some things he hasn't figured out yet, and he's thinking about them now.
Shen Qianyu's heart was still beating loudly. He opened his eyes, picked up a handful of water and poured it on his face.
"I should be responsible."
Wan Xiao was puzzled: "What's the responsibility?"
He met Song Wan several times, so he must have ruined her reputation and should be held responsible.
Shen Qianyu pursed his lips and did not speak.
No, these are all excuses. His desire for that person had something to do with the aphrodisiac incense in the woman's mouth but had nothing to do with it.
Thinking of Song Wan's every move today, Shen Qianyu plunged his head into the white jade pool for a long time before he came out.
He actually had such thoughts about Song Wan!
Thinking of Song Wan, Shen Qianyu was suddenly startled. He just left that man where he was and ran away?
"Send someone to Changxin Palace to ask if Miss Song has left."
Ji Rong responded, turned around and walked out.
Wan Xiao looked at Shen Qianyu with interest, thinking to herself that today was such a rare day, that his master actually transformed into a sun-cracked gourd and got enlightened.
Seeing his restless look, Wan Xiao smiled and went to find the palace maid to make some cold medicine for the prince.
The two left, and Shen Qianyu took the soft towel and wiped his head.
If he didn't fall in love with Song Wan, how could he have such thoughts?
The Nanqing royal family, both men and women, are all lustful people. He has seen many ridiculous things in Nanqing Palace, and he is really disgusted by the affairs between men and women.
But now he actually felt close to Song Wan, and he must have admired her unconsciously.
Shen Qianyu's eyelids drooped slightly, feeling a little embarrassed for no reason.
After he understood what he was thinking, he felt that what he had done recently was really stupid. Fortunately, that person didn't know where to go.
Sitting cross-legged by the white jade pool, Shen Qianyu was already thinking about how to abduct Song Wan back to the East Palace and protect him safely.
Ji Rong came back from outside and reported that the girl from the Song family had left the palace, but his face was depressed and listless when he spoke.
"what happens?"
Ji Rong raised his head sadly and said, "Your Highness, did you offend Concubine Yun? The concubine dragged the slave and scolded her for most of an hour."
“……”
Shen Qianyu coughed lightly: "Thank you for your hard work. I will go to Changxin Palace to apologize to her tomorrow."
He still wanted to ask Concubine Yun for something. If she didn't make an apology, it would be difficult for the couple to live together.
After tossing and turning in the East Palace all night, at dawn, Ji Rong came to report that the fifth prince Shen Qianshu fell into the pond and drowned yesterday.
Shen Qianyu frowned: "Whose handiwork?"
"It was an accident."
Ji Rong said: "The palace maid found two corpses in the lotus pond this morning."
"It should be that the fifth prince took his attendants to put the boats in the pond at night. When they were fished out this morning, he still had two wooden boats in his hands."
"A lot of people died over there at Yanqing Palace."
Shen Qianyu frowned slightly, paused for a moment and said, "Let the people in the East Palace stay away from Yanqing Palace."
"Master, are you afraid that Concubine Jiang will attack us?"
Shen Qianyu shook his head: "I don't want to do that thing of beating up a drowned dog. It's really shameful."
Nor is it something a gentleman would do.
Thinking of the word "gentleman", Shen Qianyu smiled faintly. At this moment, he understood why a person who had been treated harshly fell in love with Song Wan.
Because as long as you stand next to that person, you will feel peaceful and develop fearless courage.
He casually picked up the book Song Wan had given him on the pillow. When Shen Qianyu turned to the sentence, "Everything is prepared for me, and there is no greater joy than to be sincere and sincere," Shen Qianyu curled up his lips and smiled again.
If you cultivate yourself, be a gentleman, and do bright things, you will really be happy.
After getting up and changing into regular clothes, Shen Qianyu went to Changxin Palace to meet Song Yuning.
When Song Yunning saw him, she felt that this man's demeanor had changed greatly.
In the past, Shen Qianyu was more than arrogant but not very relaxed, but today, no matter how he looks or behaves, he is free and elegant.
I originally wanted to ask if Shen Qianshu's death was related to him, but now there is no need to ask anymore.
After thinking for a while, Song Yuning said, "What happened to you yesterday?"
Shen Qianyu coughed lightly and said, "Let my aunt see the joke."
The sound of "aunt" made Song Yuning's eyebrows filled with joy.
"How did you figure it out?"
How dare he talk about his intention to "deceive his master and destroy his ancestors" in front of Song Yuning?
Shen Qianyu brought him over with a faint smile.
"Prefer not to say?"
The smile on Song Yuning's face became a little gentler: "Tell me, why are you here to find me today?"
"I would like to ask my aunt to summon Wan'er to the palace. I have something to say to her."
"It seems you are fully prepared."
Shen Qianyu smiled and said nothing.
He has already made up his mind on how to make Wan'er move to the highest position step by step. What's rare now is not this. What's rare now is how to make Wan'er willingly enter the East Palace.
Song Wan kept the rules and it was absolutely impossible for her to have an affair with any man before concluding marriage.
If he wanted her to come to him, there was only one way.
Shen Qianyu looked at Song Yuning with a solemn expression: "Don't worry, aunt, I will treat Wan'er sincerely in this life and protect her from worries throughout her life."
Song Yuning's eyes heated up: "If you treat her well, Wan'er will treat you well."
Her arms are gentle and soft. If she really likes a man, she will treat him wholeheartedly. I just wonder if Shen Qianyu is lucky enough to be able to open Wan'er's heart.
"Don't worry, aunt."
He was born in the royal family and grew up in prison. Although he has the blood of the royal family, he does not have the ruthlessness and unrighteousness of the royal people.
He has seen darkness and knows that all things in the world, especially the kindness of people, are rare, so he will never squander Song Wan's sincerity easily.
He will also protect Song Wan under his wings until his body and soul disappear.
