C661 Prestorm

He gently caressed its injured leg and touched something with his fingertips. He was surprised as there was a green cloth wrapped around the rabbit's leg. It was obvious that someone had already bandaged its wound.

In other words —

There was someone here?

Who is it?

Who would come to such a desolate and desolate temple?

Lian Fu's heart trembled. He suddenly felt excited as he ran towards the back of the temple with the rabbit in his arms. Because the speed was too fast, he crashed into the door and didn't notice when his brocade robe was damaged.

He looked around the dilapidated temple, but didn't find anyone. He suppressed his voice and said aimlessly:

"Eleven, eleven, is that you? "Are you here? Hurry up and come out, stop hiding! I am Lian Meng, I'm back, I've built my career, I don't know anything about you, can you let me help you?"

He looked around expectantly, but other than the rustling of the wind on the treetops, there was no response. He did not see the figure, and his hopes were dashed.

He sighed and felt a sense of loss. He took two steps back, leaned against the tree, and murmured, "You've been here, haven't you?"

At this time, Huang Yan hurried over and asked, "Duke, do you see the person you're looking for?"

Lian Fu shook his head. He looked at the squirming little rabbit in his embrace and said: "No, it's just that I was overthinking it."

"Then what do we do now?" Huang Yan asked.

His hand gently stroked the green piece of cloth that was used to help the rabbit's leg.

Green?

Green!

Suddenly, a thought flashed in his mind, and a figure flashed across his mind — —

That day, on his way back to the capital, he saw a cyan figure in the crowd. That person only left him with a view of his back, but that person gave him a familiar feeling at that instant.

And now, the cloth tied to the rabbit's leg was the same shade of green.

Could it be the same person?

Could this person be eleven?

But, no... He remembered that the green-clothed figure in the crowd was clearly a young nun. How could Eleven be a nun?

Thus, in the end, he was still wrong.

"Although I'm now a noble duke and have many soldiers under my command, there are only a few things that really make me feel at ease …" He thought for a moment, then asked, "Huang Yan, are you willing to come to my side and serve me as my number one guard?"

When Huang Yan heard this, he was overjoyed. He cupped his fists and knelt on one knee as he said, "Secret Art! Ah, no, Duke Huang, Huang Yan is willing to follow the Duke. It's a matter of life and death!"

When Lian Meng saw his excited expression, he couldn't help but laugh and say: "I want you to come to my side to serve. I don't want you to prepare yourself for certain death. You can just treat me with sincerity."

In the past, at the mountain customs, when the Duke was the eldest grandson of the Prime Minister, he actually ate and lived with us day after day. Not only did he not put on any airs, he also helped his brothers a lot, and now, I, Huang Yan, have the chance to continue serving by the Duke's side, which is a blessing I have gained from several lifetimes. If they knew, how much would they envy me?

Lian Meng took out a command token from his chest pocket and placed it in Huang Yan's hand. "Now, I need you to do something for me. This matter must be kept secret and no one is to know about it."

"Your Highness, please speak." Huang Yan was even more cautious when he saw how serious his technique was.

"The rabbit's injuries haven't completely healed yet. The person who tied it up will likely come back. Help me guard this place day and night. If someone comes, keep her for me. No matter what, make her wait for me."

Lian Fang thought that he was not the only one who was looking for Number Eleven. His sister meant that the Fourth Prince was also looking for him, so he couldn't say anything. It would be best if a nobody like Huang Yan was responsible for finding him.

"Duke, I wonder if the person who came was a man or a woman. If it was a woman who saw me, I'm afraid that she wouldn't believe me." Huang Yan said.

"It's a woman. If you give this to her, she will believe you." Lian Meng took out a piece of Double Fish Jade Pendant and handed it over to Huang Yan as he spoke.

"Yes, Prince. This humble servant will definitely patiently guard this place and await the person you are looking for." Huang Yan took the jade pendant, glanced at it, and said.

Prime Minister's Estate, Clear Spring Academy.

Even when Shiya was looking at the furnishings in the house, it was still the same as when she was chased away. However, since there was no one living here, the items were already covered in a thick layer of dust.

She dragged her somewhat lame legs as she walked step by step to the chair and sat down. It used to be so glorious here, but now —

Her eyes became sore and her nose became red. After forcefully stopping herself from crying, she asked a maid who was following her, "Xiangying, has His Highness already told you about it?"

A maid called Xiang Ying bowed her head: "Yes."

"To be safe, let's go visit my elegant mother first. Have you prepared the orange embroidery and gifts?" she asked.

"Madam, the gifts have been prepared according to your instructions. You can visit the Madam anytime now." The orange embroidery came forward and said.

The banquet will be held tomorrow. We have to send it out today, otherwise, we won't be able to send it out tomorrow. According to Father's rules, the gift that he can't give is worth more than three taels of silver. Lian Shiya slowly looked around the Clear Spring Academy — —

As long as she could prove that Lian Fu was not her father's own son, then everything she lost in the Prime Minister's Estate would be reclaimed!

"Yes." The two maids accompanied Lian Shiya out of Clear Spring Academy and headed in the direction of Fu An Courtyard.

When the First Madam heard that Lian Shiya had come to visit with a gift, her face revealed a deep sense of disgust. She said to Zhou mama:

"Go back to her. Tell her that I'm tired from taking care of Yan'er and that I'm going to rest soon. Let her come back another day." "A broken person like her is unrecognizable in the Lian Clan. Her skin is rather thick, and she comes every few days or so. The madame is the same as well. She knows very well that she has ulterior motives, but she still leaves behind troubles."

The maidservant went to refuse, but when she returned, she said, "Third Miss said that you should rest well, Madam. She will be waiting outside. You can come back after you have had enough rest."

The first wife frowned and said, "Her temper is truly the same as Xiao Xian Min's."

"Madam, if she's been waiting outside the entire time, it wouldn't look good even if people came to see her. Why don't you let her in, say a few words, then send her away, don't stay any longer, she's already lost her power, and there's a high chance she's come to curry favor with us, and she can't do anything else. Besides, there are still some servants watching over her, nothing will happen." Zhou mama thought for a moment before replying.

Currently, the first wife was unrivalled. Zhou mama had been cautious for many years, so when it came to a broken person like Lian Shiya, she didn't take it to heart.
