Chapter 19, Delivering on Promises
At noon the next day, Yan'er woke up from a coma.
But when he opened his eyes, he saw a handsome face appear in front of him.
"Who are you? How are you in my room? Yan'er looked at Ye Luxian in front of her vigilantly and asked.
"Yan'er, don't be rude!" Xiao Siwen on the side said sharply.
"Lord Xiao, it's out of the way!" Ye Luxian glanced at Xiao Siwen, then turned his head and said to Yan'er with a pleasant face, "Third Miss is really a noble person who forgets things, we met in Yun Ya Pavilion in the east of the city that day, I'm afraid that Third Miss has forgotten about idlers like me." β
"Aren't you the one who delivered the painting that day? No wonder it looks a little familiar, what's your name? Yan'er recalled it carefully, and vaguely remembered that there seemed to be such a person as such.
"In Xia Ye Xian, he is a friend of Lord Ling Zun, and he happens to be a little skilled in medicine, so Lord Xiao will ask the third lady to diagnose and treat her condition." Yeluxian glanced at Xiao Siwen meaningfully as he spoke.
"There's Lao Ye Gongzi!" Yan'er covered the still painful wound in her abdomen and nodded gently to Yeluxian to express her gratitude.
"Third Miss doesn't have to be polite! Now that the young lady has woken up, it is inconvenient for Ye to bother too much, so it's time to leave! Yeluxian got up and prepared to leave.
Xiao Siwen saw that Ye Luxian was about to leave, and said repeatedly: "Ye Gongzi, I'll send you!" β
Immediately, the two walked out of Yan'er's small attic together.
When he arrived at the main hall of Xiao Mansion, Xiao Siwen fell to his knees with a thud.
"Xiao Aiqing, what are you doing here?" Ye Luxian was a little puzzled by Xiao Siwen's movements, so he asked.
"It's Weichen who has no way to teach, so he leads the little girl to cause such a big disaster today, and I ask Your Majesty to forgive me!" Xiao Siwen said tremblingly.
"Xiao Aiqing invited, I didn't think there was anything wrong with what the third lady did, but I felt that the third miss was really a person with a true temperament. There are thousands of women in the world, and there are not no people who are more beautiful than Miss San, but if you can say that a woman who can combine beauty, intelligence and true temperament, there is indeed only one person. Speaking of Yan'er, Ye Luxian showed an imperceptible smile on his face.
"But the little girl did this, it really broke your face." Ye Luxian said this, Xiao Siwen was naturally happy, and he escaped the catastrophe in the end. But the companion is like a tiger, and it is unpredictable whether it is the holy will, so Xiao Siwen spoke again, wanting to further speculate on Ye Luxian's meaning.
"If she treats me like she treats him in the future, then what does it matter if I am disgraced at this time?"
In fact, at first, Yeluxian's heart was not without anger, but this anger was quickly compared to jealousy. The child who grew up in the royal family has seen court battles since he was a child, and he has never seen a woman who loves and hates as clearly as her. If at the beginning, what attracted him was only her appearance and talent, then Yeluxian's heart had more respect for her at this time. In the past, Zhuo Wenjun broke off his friendship with his father for Sima Xiangru, and now Xiao Yanyan committed suicide for love. Throughout the ages, how many people can't get past the love word?
"Thank you for your grace! Weichen thanked the little girl for His Majesty's magnanimity! At this time, the stone in Xiao Siwen's heart finally fell, and it seemed that the emperor really did not mean to punish the Xiao family. And so, very well!
"Regarding my identity, please don't tell Miss San for the time being! In the future, I will go to the court every day to take care of the third lady in the house as Langzhong! Regarding the time when she entered the palace, I will wait for her to recover before making a decision! Ye Luxian explained to Xiao Siwen.
After speaking, Ye Luxian left the Xiao Mansion accompanied by his entourage. At this time, Xiao Siwen finally breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that after Yan'er made such a fuss, the emperor would inevitably condemn the Xiao family. But now it seems that the emperor really cares about Yan'er. It seems that her entry into the palace is indeed a certainty. That's fine, if the emperor can treat her as well as she is now, in fact, there is nothing wrong with marrying into the palace. I'm just afraid that Yan'er's simple and stubborn character can't cope with those open and secret battles in the palace. But now, the holy decree has been issued, what other way can there be?
Just as Xiao Siwen turned around and was about to go to see Yan'er again, he saw that Yan'er had slowly walked out with the support of Suiyu.
"You're injured, why don't you lie down and rest?" Xiao Siwen's words were a little angry.
"I'm going to see Brother Derang!"
"Nonsense! Now you are not allowed to go anywhere, let me stay in my room obediently! Xiao Siwen knew that Yan'er's temperament was very stubborn, for fear that she would cause any more trouble, so he turned his head and said to Suiyu, "From today onwards, Miss is not allowed to walk out of the room for half a step, if there is any incident, I will ask you!" β
"Yes!" Suiyu replied in a low voice.
Yan'er couldn't resist her father, so she had to go back to the room with Suiyu's support.
At this time, Lu Bugu was about to leave the house accompanied by his attendants, and happened to meet Xiao Siwen at the door.
"Madame, where are you going?" Lu Bugu rarely goes out on weekdays, Xiao Siwen was curious for a while, so he asked.
Lu Bugu smiled indifferently, and then said softly: "It has been snowing a few days ago, and today the weather finally cleared, so I just thought about going to the street." β
"That's fine." Xiao Siwen nodded, and watched Lu Bugu and the others leave the Xiao Mansion.
LΓΌ Bugu got into the carriage, and the coachman drove the horse all the way to the Shangshangju Teahouse in the west of the city. Lu Bugu went straight upstairs to the private room. The maids and attendants were all guarding the stairs, and no one was allowed to go upstairs.
Picking up the jade curtain, he saw that there was already a person sitting in the private room by the window, and Lu Bugu slowly walked over.
When the man saw Lu Bugu coming, he smiled: "Your Majesty, the eldest princess, is really very punctual!" β
Lu Bugu loosened the cloak on his cloak and sat down slowly, "Isn't the lady also punctual?" β
"What Her Majesty the eldest princess has explained, I have already done it." The woman looked at Lu Bugu and said thoughtfully.
"Although you have handed over the painting scroll to the emperor, who knew that dead girl was so stubborn, she almost made our Xiao family behead!" Speaking of Yan'er, Lu Bugu's heart was full of hatred.
"Don't worry, eldest princess, with my understanding of the emperor, he will definitely not condemn your mansion for this." The woman said confidently.
"But now that she is making such a fuss, it seems that the matter of entering the palace is far away. If the emperor is soft-hearted, then wouldn't she want to stay in our Xiao family for the rest of her life? β
"What if she is completely dead to Han Derang?" There was a gleam in the woman's smile.
"You mean?"
"The eldest princess is a smart person, so naturally she doesn't need me to say it explicitly. I will definitely do this for the princess, but the princess should not forget the promise she made to me. The woman put down the teacup, grabbed Lu Bugu's white hand with her hand and said.
