Lv He was not a brainless person, she felt that there was something fishy about tonight's events. Having followed the prince for four years, she had a good understanding of his personality, and since the prince was focused on his wife and knew that she was pregnant, she shouldn't be so late. Something must have happened.
The rain poured down heavily, and it was as if a curtain of water was hung on the porch, blocking the pitch-black night, but the wind kept on rushing in, raising the rain to pour on the people's bodies. Lv He leaned on the wall as she walked, but her clothes were still drenched by the wind and rain, and stuck onto her body, giving him a chill.
The wind was too strong, and the lantern in her hands was blowing unsteadily, the candlelight also swayed along with it, pulling out strange and twisted shadows, surrounded by the wind and rain, even though Lv He was very brave, her back still had goosebumps. She could not help but to quicken her pace, but the candle was suddenly extinguished, and a weak spot of light was engulfed by the darkness.
Fortunately, she brought a fire piston with her when she came out. She took it out to relight the candle, afraid of being blown out by the wind again, so she simply hugged it to her chest. This time, she didn't dare to walk too quickly.
The journey wasn't far, but she had suffered so much that the oil-paper umbrella was completely useless. When she reached the bottom of the pavilion, she was drenched all over, as if she had just fished it out of the water. If she went upstairs like this, Huangfu Zhuer would mock her, but she had no choice. Gritting her teeth, she walked up the stairs, but just as she stepped on the stairs, two bright swords appeared in front of her.
Lv He was shocked, and instinctively took a step back, only then did she realise that two black-robed guards had appeared out of nowhere. She was very surprised to find that Huangfu Zhuer had arranged for guards at some point in time.
She was Prince Chu's personal big servant girl, so she did not put the two guards in her eyes as she coldly said: "Don't you recognize me? "Get out of the way, I'm going up."
The guard did not move aside, but spoke politely instead, "Miss, please do not make it difficult for us. Miss Huangfu has already rested, Miss will come back tomorrow if you need anything."
Lv He deliberately asked, "Who are you? What are you doing here? "
"We were transferred from the army camp to protect the Miss Huangfu."
It could only be the Prince Chu's idea to transfer them from the army camp … Sending two people to protect Huangfu Zhuer was nothing much, but … Why does it feel so weird?
She went straight to the point. "Is the prince up there?"
The two guards exchanged a look, "About this... As for the matter with the Prince, this subordinate does not know. "
What was that? He didn't know if he should answer, but he couldn't say.
"I am Lv He, in front of the Duke. I have something to ask the Duke.
The guard shook his head, "Miss should still leave, we are also strictly following our duty, Miss Huangfu's health is not good, Prince has ordered for us, no one is allowed to scratch her and rest."
"Then tell me, is the Prince up there?"
However, someone had walked down from the stairs and was holding a lantern, shining it onto her body, "Yo, why is Lady Lv He so wet, and did not quickly go back to change, but instead had the leisure to talk to a man here."
Lv He was embarrassed and angry, she shrunk her shoulders and hugged her chest, the summer clothes were very thin, and also a little transparent. The two guards looked at her with a piercing gaze. They had no intention of running away.
Lv He was usually bold and bold, but she was still a girl who had not left the pavilion. Under the gaze of the two men, she was in a sorry state, almost to the point of beating her own drum.
However, the more Fang Xingjian obstructed him, the more it seemed as if something was wrong. She ignored him and asked, "Is my prince here?" I'll take him back. "
The one who came down was Huangfu Zhuer's servant, Silver Jade. She stood there with the lantern in her hand and smiled contemptuously, "It's so late, why is Miss Lv He here looking for someone? "Your highness can rest wherever you want. Do you really have to listen to my orders?"
"The princess isn't feeling well and wants to see you."
"Oh, I don't care about that at all," Yin Yu rolled her eyes. "I heard that the wangfei was a little delusional, and now she's become a little mysterious. My family's young miss always said that she wanted to see her, but unfortunately, her body wasn't up to her expectations, and she herself was also very sick. Today, when she had just rested herself, it's better for the lady to leave. She paused, and then said, "Speaking of which, it's not easy for the prince either. Since the princess is tormenting him like this, the king is not annoyed, so he has to wait for her wholeheartedly. But since he's not made of iron, he has times when he wants to take a nap. If you want me to say, Miss should just go back. Tomorrow morning, the Prince will come back. "
Although he didn't admit that the prince was in the upper echelons, his words carried that meaning.
Lv He was actually rendered speechless by her words. That's right, since the princess was pregnant, it was as if she had changed into a different person and would lose her face if she said something wrong. It was truly not easy for the king to say it, a man from a commoner family would not do such a thing, let alone the emperor's family … However, she only hesitated for a moment before regaining her senses. Even if it was because of the inconvenience of the wangfei, the prince still needed help in that aspect, and it couldn't be Huangfu Zhuer.
She was about to say something when someone behind her coldly said, "All of you, get out of the way."
His voice was not loud, and his tone was not tough. However, for no reason whatsoever, it made one's hair stand on end. The two guards immediately retracted their swords and bowed.
Yin Yu's expression changed, but she raised her voice. "This servant greets wangfei!"
Lv He was startled, she turned to look, only to see that Bai Qianfan was standing in the dim light with water dripping from her sleeves and her skirt hanging down, making her seem even more slender. She stood there like a lonely bean sprout, with her back facing the torrential downpour.
When she looked again, Qi Hong and Yue Guiyi who were standing behind her were drenched, and had helpless expressions on their faces as if they were in a difficult situation.
Lv He understood. It must be because she saw that she was gone for a long time and the Little Princess couldn't wait any longer. She didn't listen to Qi Hong's advice and came over herself.
Bai Qianfan raised her foot and was about to go upstairs, although the guard did not dare to pull out her blade, she still stood at the head of the stairs, "Esteemed wangfei, you cannot go up."
Bai Qianfan was infuriated, "Why? Because the Prince is up there? "
The guard stammered, "Your subordinate has been ordered to guard this place and prevent anyone from scratching Miss Huangfu. Royal Concubine, don't make things difficult for us."
"What if I insist on going up?" Bai Qianfan was not acting like a spoiled brat, she was becoming really impatient.
"This …"
She puffed out her stomach and took a step forward, unafraid. "Come and stop me, if you meet the child in my stomach, then let's see how the prince will deal with you!"
Who would dare to touch such a domineering lord? She stepped forward, and the guards backed off. "Esteemed wangfei, you should hurry back. Such a heavy storm, please don't …"
"Get up," Bai Qianfan said impatiently as she reached out to push one of them away, holding onto the railing as she walked up.
