Chapter Twenty-Nine: Surfacing
When Chao Yishen saw Ruan Bing coming over, his eyes suddenly lit up, and his face was full of joy, "Bingbing, you're here, come here." β
Ruan Bing moved a few steps forward in a panic and looked at Chao Yishen.
"Come to me." Chao Yishen looked at her restrained appearance and felt very kind.
Ruan Bing wanted to relieve the awkward atmosphere, so he looked at Bingbing and Xiaoxiao with a smile, "These two are ...... It's a new guest, I'm going to pour them a cup of tea! β
"Come hereβ" Chao Yishen's tone was very tough, and his eyes were half-squinted and frightening.
Ling Ling looked at Chao Yishen's appearance at this time, and he was a little distracted, and he kept thinking about something.
"How do you ...... your legs" Ruan Bing walked over and found that Chao Yishen's legs were tied with a cloth belt, and he couldn't help but be a little curious.
Chao Yishen looked at Ruan Bing and patted his other leg with a smile, "Sit here, I'll talk to you." β
"Don't tell me now, I ...... I'm going to entertain the two guests first. Ruan Bing was about to leave as she spoke, she was really embarrassed by Chao Yishen, thinking to herself how could he still say these words calmly in such an embarrassing atmosphere.
"I've instructed my men to prepare rooms and food for them, and it should be all right now." Chao Yishen turned his head to look at Lingling and smiled, "You guys leave first, someone will take you to your room." β
Lingling was still a little stunned, in her impression, Chao Yishen was not like this...... Or maybe that's what he is.
Ruan Bing felt a little embarrassed when he watched the two leave, and asked with a bitter face, "Who are they?" β
"I was swept away by the flood while fighting the disaster, thinking that I was going to die, but when I woke up and found myself in a house, they saved me. Later, when I injured my leg and couldn't come back, it was the two of them who pushed me back, and I promised that they could follow me. Chao Yishen told Ruan Bing the story word for word.
Ruan Bing nodded thoughtfully, "Oh, then you really should thank them." β
"Did you miss me during my absence?" As he spoke, he grabbed Ruan Bing and pulled her to his other leg.
"Ah, your legs!" Ruan Bing was so frightened that he didn't dare to move, for fear of pressing Chao Yishen's injured leg.
"It's fine!" Chao Yishen hugged her tightly like this, in fact, his legs had been much better in the car in the past two days, but seeing Ruan Bing's anxious appearance, he still wanted to tease her more.
"What? Is Shen'er really alive? Emperor Chaoyu looked at the minister with a look of surprise and was quite excited.
"Yes, Your Majesty. The third prince has suffered a leg injury and is now recuperating in the Three Princes' Mansion, so he should come to see you soon. β
"Good, good! Hurry up and let Shen'er come to see me, I can't wait to meet him. Then he turned his head to look at Chao Yicen, "Cen Er, you will come over later." β
The Emperor's Inner Palace
"Shen'er, how are you feeling now? What's uncomfortable? The emperor was full of distress when he saw Chao Yishen in a wheelchair.
"Father, the son is fine. It's just a little leg injury, and it's good to recuperate for a while. Father, please give your son the sin of returning to the capital early! Saying that, Chao Yishen was ready to support his wheelchair and plead guilty.
The emperor hurriedly stopped and comforted: "Shen'er, my father is deeply relieved that you can come back safely, how can he cure your crimes?" The disaster in Lingyang County is almost under control now, thanks to the foundation you led the soldiers in the early stage, and the father will reward you well! Say, what reward do you want? Father and Emperor have promised you. β
"Thank you, father, you didn't punish your sons, and your sons are fortunate and don't dare to ask for any rewards."
"Okay, you can tell me when you want to. Cen Er, do you know what your father called you for? The emperor turned his head to look at Chao Yicen, who had been silent.
"The son is dull, and he asks his father to make it clear."
"Haha, my father wants to marry you and the prime minister's second daughter, and the wedding date is set for next month, which can be described as double happiness and make the palace lively! Cen Er, what do you think? The emperor looked happy, but in fact, he had his own wishful thinking in his heart.
Chao Yicen was stunned for a moment, glanced at Chao Yishen with a smile, and then hugged his fists and thanked: "Thank you for your father's marriage!" β
"Big brother, the third brother didn't die!" Chao Yijing looked at Chao Yicen with a shocked expression, this matter completely disrupted the previous plan.
"Yes, he really died, he was swept away by the flood and didn't die." The eighth prince Chao Yihuan also echoed.
"Even if he doesn't die, it's not that he hasn't won the trust of his father, otherwise how could he marry Ruan Yingying to me, it's not to prevent him from overgrowing, it seems that it will still be carried out according to the original plan."
Ah Yu inquired around the Prime Minister's Mansion and asked almost every hostel there, and finally found a clue in a relatively remote location.
"Boss, have you seen this person?" Ah Yu took a painting for the boss to see, and at the same time stuffed a piece of silver into the boss's hand and signaled him not to say it.
"Oh, this person is a regular guest of our shop and she's been with us for several years. Because we are in a remote place, few people come, but the money she gave alone supported our store, and we paid for three years at once. What do you do with her? Do you need me to call her? β
"No, she lives in that room?" Ah Yu asked cautiously, while constantly looking around.
"On the second floor, count the fourth room from the left." The boss pointed to him.
Ah Yu cautiously walked upstairs and came to the door of the fourth room to knock on the door, when suddenly there was a quarrel inside, and he immediately stopped.
"Sister! I really don't want to live like this anymore, I hide and fear all day. β
"Fluttershy, bear with me for a while, don't let anyone find out you're here, and rot in your stomach what your sister told you to do last time, but my sister is desperate to keep you, so don't let anyone find out." Glass comforts Fluttershy that she really cares about her sister and doesn't want her to miss anything.
"Sister, why don't you take me to the second miss, I can always be with you, and I don't have to live like this anymore." Fluttershy pleads, crying and holding Glass's hand.
"No, the second miss has done too many things to hurt the eldest lady, and there are too many people involved, even if I don't kill you this time, I will kill you when I act next time."
"Sister......" Fluttershy tried to say something, but she held back, "Fluttershy listens to her sister." β
Ah Yu stood outside the door and heard everything inside, he was angry but didn't dare to rush forward, so he quietly left the hotel and hurried back to the Three Kings' Mansion.
