Chapter 120 His Highness is Pretending to Be Serious Again (74)
Qi Yunyan had already entered the capital and traveled a distance
The scene in the capital was obviously different from usual, a little reserved and restrained, as if something big was going to happen.
Qi Yunyan put down her hand that was lifting the curtain, and soon the carriage stopped.
A male voice came
"Miss, His Highness sent us to pick you up."
Considering the current situation, the Second Prince's Mansion is blocked, and it would be a bit awkward to enter the mansion through the main gate.
The guard showed the Second Prince's token, and the driver recognized the person who came to pick him up, so he did not stop him.
The guard opened the curtain for her. Qi Yunyan got off the carriage with worry in her heart and followed the people along the hidden path.

"Now that the person has been kidnapped, I think they will move on to the next step soon."
Shen Youxuan stared at the overall composition of the palace. Since there was no weakest point, attacking the gate was the best option.
Shen Youxuan circled the main gate of the palace
"They took the fake military seal, so they probably wouldn't care and would attack directly from the main gate."
"We will send a normal number of guards to guard the Hall of Supreme Harmony, but we will have General Si and Young Master Si lead others to protect the Emperor in secret."
Chu Yuxiao nodded slightly
Shen Youan lay on the table, watching the two people drawing circles on the map. Their thoughts could be felt in each other's hearts. He yawned slightly.
He is going to win again. Of course, he also made a small contribution.
He provided the fake military seal.
Chu Yuxiao noticed that he yawned slightly, thinking that he was sleepy, so he touched his head and coaxed him.
"If you're tired, take a nap."
Shen Youxuan looked at Chu Yuxiao's intimate gesture and tone, and was silent for a moment, then continued to stare at the map plan.
As expected, their An'er is the most lovable
What a pity, it was picked up early.
Shen Youan shook his head, his eyes filled with mist from his yawn.
"Not sleepy"
Shen Youan was just a little bored. Seeing how serious the two of them were, he didn't make a sound to interrupt them. He just watched them silently.
Who knew that yawning could attract attention directly?
"Um"
Chu Yuxiao nodded and said nothing more.
Unconsciously, time flies by like a meteor, and it is just the Shen hour (15:00)
The plan has gradually taken shape. Shen Youxuan stretched his muscles. Bending over for a long time will inevitably make him feel uncomfortable. After stretching, he felt much better.
Shen Youxuan looked at the man with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes opposite him, and had to say that Chu Yuxiao was an excellent person in all aspects.
Then I looked at An'er next to me, and they seemed to be a good match.
An'er?
Shen Youxuan looked at it carefully and chuckled a few times.
It turned out that Shen Youan had fallen asleep on the table. The flesh on his cheeks was slightly bulging out from under the pressure. He was so cute. His long and slightly curled eyelashes were so beautiful.
Seeing this, Shen Youxuan felt a little proud. The children raised by their Xiangfu were beautiful and lovable.
Chu Yuxiao noticed it the moment he finished talking.
There was a hint of smile in his eyes, and his dark eyes were filled with doting and helplessness.
Stupid An'er, you just said you weren't sleepy, but now you're asleep.
Chu Yuxiao leaned over and put one hand on the man's waist, and passed the other hand under the man's legs, easily hugging the man up.
Chu Yuxiao nodded to Shen Youxuan, then carried the person into the hall, put him on the bed, and gently took off his shoes.
Covered with a thin blanket
Chu Yuxiao sat on the edge of the bed, staring at the fair little face, the tiny red mark left by the pressure.
He reached out and rubbed it for a few times, his eyes softened, and he didn't move anymore for fear of waking anyone up, so he withdrew his hand.
He lowered the bed curtains for the person. Although the light outside was not glaring, it was always more comfortable to sleep in a dim environment.
After doing all this, he got up and went out
Seeing Shen Youxuan half leaning on the chair waiting for him, Chu Yuxiao was the first to speak
"Brother, please stay for dinner. An'er will probably wake up in an hour."
Shen Youxuan waved his hand and refused. It wasn't too late at this point, but he still had to inform the emperor of his plan. He had to go to the palace first.
Chu Yuxiao nodded and said nothing more
Shen Youxuan noticed that the person next to him was still following him out of the house. As a prince, he was willing to give up his status and send someone away for An'er. It was really rare.
"It's obvious that His Highness dotes on An'er, but sometimes, you don't have to spoil people too much, or they'll inevitably become spoiled."
Shen Youxuan said this with a smile, but among those who doted on Shen Youan, he was definitely one of them.
“No problem”
After hearing what Shen Youxuan said, Chu Yuxiao's dark and plain eyes were stained with some color.
"Your Highness, there is no need to see me off. I will take my leave."
Shen Youxuan turned around and bowed to Chu Yuxiao with sincere respect.
Shen Youxuan could hear the gentleness in that calm tone, and only then did he really feel that Chu Yuxiao had passed the exam.
Chu Yuxiao could also hear the subtle change in his tone and nodded.
"Um"
After Shen Youxuan left, Chu Yuxiao returned to the bedroom.
An'er seems to be particularly fond of reading storybooks recently. He even has several of them on display.
He picked it up, flipped through it, and put it down.
I feel it is a bit boring. If two people really like each other, why would they care so much about face? Why keep things in their hearts that can be explained in a few words, causing so many misunderstandings between the two people and breaking up and getting back together?
In the face of passionate love, even the most arrogant boy will be willing to bow his head
Chu Yuxiao frowned slightly, but because this was a book that An'er was reading to kill time, he did not make any move and put it back to its original place.

Second Prince's Mansion
"Yan'er, why do you look a little unhappy?"
Chu Yuchen looked at Qi Yunyan who came in with the medicine, with a little worry in his eyes.
The person in front of me was obviously much thinner. He had only been back for a few days. Could it be that the people of Zhao State had abused him?
Chu Yuchen suppressed his discomfort. Yan'er had just returned, and he didn't want her to see him in a bad mood.
I'm afraid she'll be even more worried.
"It's okay, maybe I was worried about you. You've been traveling too much and you didn't get enough rest."
Qi Yunyan explained softly in a few words as if she didn't care, and then she got away with it.
"Then Yan'er, have a good rest tonight."
Chu Yuchen felt warm in his heart, and then his black eyes were filled with heartache.
"Okay, Your Highness, are you feeling well these days?"
Qi Yunyan looked at the man who had lost weight visibly and whose jawline was more obvious, and she felt a little uncomfortable.
She sat down beside the bed with the medicine, scooped up a spoonful, blew it gently, and handed it to the person's mouth.
Chu Yuchen half leaned on the bed and drank the medicine obediently.
“Okay, not as uncomfortable as I imagined.”
In fact, this is a lie. In addition to coughing up blood every day, he also suffers from excruciating pain. He is now enduring it, but he doesn't want people to worry anymore.
He hoped she would be in a better mood.
"Yeah," Qi Yunyan nodded slightly.
Continue to scoop up the medicine in your hand, feed it to the man's mouth, and signal him to drink it quickly.
Chu Yuchen drank it, but he felt that the medicine was a little strange because it had a bloody smell, coupled with the bitter taste of the medicine, which made him frown slightly.
"Why do I feel a smell of blood? Am I wrong?"
Chu Yuchen couldn't help but express his doubts.
Qi Yunyan felt a little uneasy after hearing his words, but her face remained calm as she replied softly:
"Perhaps Your Highness is mistaken."
Chu Yuchen looked at her serious expression and nodded. Maybe, after all, he was deeply poisoned.
There is something wrong with the sense of taste, maybe
I drank the medicine spoonful by spoonful.
Qi Yunyan felt a little guilty. After feeding her, she wanted to leave. Chu Yuchen gently pulled her hand.
The porcelain bowl in Qi Yunyan's hand suddenly fell down, making a crisp sound and breaking into several pieces.
"Yan'er?"
Chu Yuchen didn't expect that she would not be able to hold the bowl, and paused.
"It's okay, I was just too careless."
After she finished speaking, she was about to squat down to pick up the broken pieces of the bowl. Chu Yuchen saw her move and stopped her.
"Let the servants clean it up, don't hurt your hands."
"okay"
Qi Yunyan nodded and then asked
"Your Highness just grabbed me, is there anything else?"
"here"
Seeing her ask, Chu Yuchen raised his finger and pointed to his lips.
I could just pick up the handkerchief at hand and wipe it, but I want the person in front of me to do it for me.
Qi Yunyan felt a little helpless, but was happy to do so. She picked up the handkerchief and wiped it for him.
After wiping, she met those eyes, which were full of ridicule.
She was a little bit at a loss for a moment, avoided his gaze, stood up and said
"I'll get someone to clean up."
"Well, Yan'er, you should call me Achen, have you forgotten?"
Chu Yuchen saw the helplessness and evasion in her eyes, raised the corner of his lips and reminded her
"Ah Chen"
After calling, Qi Yunyan hurriedly asked the servants to come in and clean up the broken bowls on the ground.
Chu Yuchen's mood improved a bit, and he felt that the pain in his body was not so severe.
At this time, Qi Yunyan came out of his room and ordered the servants to clean up the broken bowls inside. The servants saluted and replied, "Yes."
After the next person goes in
Qi Yunyan walked to the big red beam and lifted up the sleeve covering her wrist. The white cloth wrapped around her wrist came into view.
The blood that spilled out of the white cloth dyed a small part of the cloth red.
This was the wound left when she took blood and stored it in a special container the day before. Just now, he gently squeezed it and blood flowed out again.
The pain made her loosen her grip, and the bowl fell to the ground. At that moment, she was so nervous that she could clearly hear her own heartbeat.
Fortunately, he did not have too many doubts and believed her words.
I noticed footsteps behind me
Qi Yunyan quickly put down her sleeves
"Miss, His Highness invites you in."
The maid came out of the room with the broken bowls she had just cleaned up, and looked at Qi Yunyan, who was standing by the beam with her back to her, and said respectfully,
"Oh, I see"
Qi Yunyan responded softly
The maid bowed and left.
Chu Yuchen saw that she went to ask someone to come and clean up, but when the person came, she didn't come in. He was a little dissatisfied. He could have shouted in the room.
But he knew she was a little shy, so he asked her to go out for a while, but she didn't come in.
"sit down"
Chu Yuchen pretended to be calm and said
After Qi Yunyan returned from this trip, she had already figured out a lot and let go of a lot of things.
Looking at Chu Yuchen's expression, I knew he was doing it on purpose and was not really angry.
Now that she understood, she felt that the person in front of her was a bit childish. She smiled in her eyes and said nothing.
Seeing that she didn't coax him, Chu Yuchen took her hand and held it tightly, stubbornly keeping silent.
Qi Yunyan was relieved when she saw that he was pulling her right hand, because the wound was on her left hand.
"what happened"
Qi Yunyan couldn't do anything about him, so she smiled, sighed, and asked in a good temper
"Why didn't you come in just now?"
"Nothing much. I looked at the layout of the courtyard. It's the same as when I left. Nothing has changed."
When Qi Yunyan saw him asking this, she answered casually
"Fine"
Seeing her say that, Chu Yuchen didn't mean to stop coming in. He raised his lips, and his eyebrows and eyes were filled with joy.
The pale face seemed to have some blood color
"Your Highness has decided a very important matter. Please guess what it is."
Chu Yuchen said exaggeratedly
Qi Yunyan looked at Chu Yuchen like this and felt that he was completely different from before. Even she was a little happy about him. She curved her beautiful eyebrows and said
"What's up"
Chu Yuchen saw her laughing and snorted, but didn't say anything. He became like this and said such childish words.
It's because of her that I'm still smiling
But seeing that she asked, he didn't bother with her anymore, and asked with a little expectation in his eyes.
"First, Your Highness would like to confirm a question."
Qi Yunyan saw that he was mysterious and cooperated with others with a smile, but there was doubt in her eyes.
"But, I don't think there's any need to confirm. You should like me too, right?"
After Chu Yuchen finished speaking, he didn't dare to look at anyone else, and forced himself to remain calm and pretend not to care.
Little did she know that in Qi Yunyan's eyes, she looked like she was expecting him to say yes.
As he wished
“Yeah, I like Achen very much.”
Chu Yuchen, who got the answer, couldn't pretend anymore. His expression couldn't be concealed. In one word: joyful.
"Your Highness also likes Yan'er very much."
Chu Yuchen saw that she had admitted it. As a man, he couldn't be so reserved in such matters. He had to admit it openly.
Hearing his proud tone, Qi Yunyan was very happy, but as she was happy, her mood changed.
The joy in the eyes is gradually covered by sadness
Chu Yuchen was puzzled when he saw that she suddenly became sad. He rubbed her hand and asked:
"What's wrong, Yan'er? Do you think I'm lying? I'm not lying. When I get better, I'll marry you. I'll bring you home in a grand sedan chair. Yan'er, you know, I've never touched those people in the backyard."
Chu Yuchen racked his brains and said a lot, guessing the reason why she was suddenly sad.
Who knew that when Qi Yunyan heard him say that he would marry her in a grand sedan chair, tears could not be controlled and flowed down her cheeks.
This made Chu Yuchen's heart tighten.
He raised his hand and hurriedly wiped the tears from her face, leaned over, hugged Qi Yunyan in his arms, and patted her back.
"What's wrong? Who made Yan'er unhappy? I'll vent her anger for her, okay?"
"No……"
Qi Yunyan replied in a crying voice
She was sad only because she might live to see the day he got better, but she wouldn't live to see the day he married her.
Seeing her deny it, Chu Yuchen frowned and hugged her tighter.
"Don't cry, Yan'er. I will do it. But Yan'er doesn't believe me."
"I believe...I believe you"
"That's good, Yan'er, you have to wait well."
"okay"
Qi Yunyan took a few deep breaths and held back her tears.
She leaned obediently in his arms, like a homeless little animal in winter, very dependent, trying hard to absorb the warmth from him.
Chu Yuchen touched her head, gently put his hand on her face, and said softly
"It's fine"
