C38

When it was late in the morning, a small piece of news suddenly exploded in the capital, and even Chu Chen, who was in control of the situation the entire time, was surprised.

It was said that the Fourth Miss of the Shui Family and the son of the Prince Chu Palace had decided to marry each other privately. The Second Prince returned to the capital in a fit of rage and would arrive in the capital city in the near future!

When he found out about this, Chu Chen was eating breakfast.

On the dining table, Chu Chen put down his chopsticks, glanced at Shui Qingyan who was lying there, and then looked at Liu Si: "Who spread the rumors?"

Liu Si was like a log. "The news came from the Shui Clan and the Liu Family."

Chu Chen thought for a moment, then shook his head: "That's not right, there's someone behind the scenes who is adding fuel to the fire, the news spread way too fast, go investigate."

"Yes sir!" Liu Si accepted the order.

"Go down." Chu Chen picked up his chopsticks again.

Liu Si disappeared.

"Mistress, there are people in the manor." Just as Liu Si left, Liuyi appeared outside the door.

"Who?" Chu Chen put down his chopsticks unhappily, "I'm not eating anymore, I'm leaving."

"If you don't eat, I'll eat!" Phoenix Yaoling appeared beside Chu Chen like the wind, he picked up the chopsticks and started eating, "I'm starving, I'm starving to death."

Chu Chen stood up and walked out.

"It's Zuo Long." Liuyi's expression was very cautious. This time, Zuo Long's expression was much more serious than the last time, which meant that the prince valued his master's actions.

Chu Chen walked out. In the backyard of the bamboo forest, a black-clothed, green-black man stood there. Seeing Chu Chen walking over slowly, he took a step forward and knelt down: "Zuo Long greets prince."

Chu Chen stopped and looked at Zuo Long: "What happened?"

Zuo Long took out an order badge, "Your Highness said that if prince needs any help, feel free to mobilize the Duke Palace's people."

"There's no need for him to interfere in my matters." Chu Chen only said one sentence to Zuo Long.

"Crown Prince." Zuo Long lifted his head and glanced at Chu Chen. When he saw Chu Chen's pair of eyes that were as silent as dark clouds, he swallowed back his words.

Chu Chen quietly stood there, he did not say a word, and Liuyi stood behind him with a cold face. Without Chu Chen's permission, Zuo Long did not dare to make a move without permission, and continued to kneel on one knee.

The forest was quiet and the atmosphere was tense.

"Hahaha, Sickly Beauty, I heard that you and Shui Qingyan, that idiot, have been betrothed for life!" Suddenly, a candid voice sounded, "Aren't you afraid that your fated person will be angry?" His tone was filled with ridicule.

Liuyi heard the voice coming from afar, and the corner of his mouth twitched. Seventh Prince must have come at the wrong time, couldn't he see that prince was in a bad mood?

As for Shui Qingyan who was on the bed, after hearing this sound, her eyelashes trembled, her fingers moved, and tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes.

At the same time that his feet landed on the ground, he folded a fan and struck it with it. It could be said that he had an elegant demeanor, and his clothes were also particularly particular. Gold threads and silver threads interweaved and interweaved with each other as various patterns embroidered on the fan.

"Yo, isn't this Xiao Qi? What did you just say? What private marriage?" Phoenix Yaoling carried a bowl and walked out. His dry hair, black circles under his eyes and the wrinkles on the corner of his eyes had increased by two. He looked completely different from the purple-clothed beauty from a few days ago.

"Sister Yaoling?" Seventh Prince Yun Sheng was somewhat surprised as he looked at Phoenix Yaoling with raised eyebrows. "Your complexion doesn't seem good.

Phoenix Yaoling opened her eyes wide, touched her own face, and then roared towards the sky. "Ah, Shui Qingyan, even I'm growing wrinkles for you!" With that, he tossed the bowl down to the floor, turned around, and disappeared.

Yun Sheng rubbed his chin and squinted his eyes. "There really is a situation. Could it be that the sickly beauty has set her eyes on that arrogant and despotic Shui Qingyan?"

Behind the bamboo forest, Chu Chen pursed his lips, looked at Zuo Long, and then turned around.

"prince!" Zuo Long could not help but shout. If he brought the words of the prince back, the Duke would chop him with a palm.

Without even turning his head, Liuyi followed behind Chu Chen with an expressionless face. His master's good mood for the whole day was completely destroyed by Zuo Long. Zuo Long did not know whether prince wanted to see them or not. He had come here twice this month!

In the room.

When Yun Sheng saw Shui Qingyan lying there, he sneered and raised his eyebrows, "How did you become like this? Look at this little face, it's getting skinnier! "

Shui Qingyan's eyes immediately rolled back down.

"I just like to sympathize. It's a pity that there's no royal father here for you, and no mufei for you either. No one will stop you even if you cry." Yun Sheng shook his head and clicked his tongue.

Footsteps came from outside the door. Yun Sheng knew that Chu Chen had returned and immediately turned around.

However, his clothes were being held by someone. Seeing that hand, Yun Sheng frowned.

Outside the door, Chu Chen also saw the unconscious Shui Qingyan pulling on Yun Sheng's clothes, not letting go.

"Yun Sheng." Shui Qingyan opened her mouth and blurted out a name, "Don't go!"

Chu Chen's pupils suddenly contracted. In just an instant, Chu Chen's pupils had adjusted once again.

However, Liuyi, who understood his master extremely well, clearly felt the unusual pressure that his master had on him in that instant.

Yun Sheng inexplicably tugged at his clothes as he glanced at Shui Qingyan in scorn. "This prince is not your Brother Ye, are you calling me the wrong person?"

A string of tears suddenly fell from the corner of Shui Qingcheng's eyes. His eyelashes moved, but he did not open his eyes.

Chu Chen entered the room and glanced at Yun Sheng, "Shouldn't Seventh Prince be camping in Shanxi? I'm afraid the emperor would be displeased if he knew that Seventh Prince came to the capital without permission."

Yun Sheng sat over and lifted his robes. "Why do you think so highly of this woman? Do you know that she has never done anything to make people happy in her entire life!?"

Chu Chen poured himself a cup of tea and did not say a word.

"To know how to frame me at the age of three, you'd better ignore her and stay away from her. For the sake of a Jade Snow Mandarin Duck pendant, you even want to harm your own older sister. What's so good about a woman like that!" Yun Sheng looked like a good mother-in-law.

"Also, she doesn't know any characters, her writing is different, she can't dance, and she can't play the zither. In the future, even if you want to listen to a song, you have to find someone to work for you." Yun Sheng nodded as he thought of this.

"In the past, didn't Miss Ning like to get close to you? As long as you want it, she wasn't your woman yet." The more he thought about it, the more he felt that his idea was very good.

"How about I mention it to royal father? Miss Ning is talented, Shui Qingyan only has one face. " Yun Sheng looked at Chu Chen seriously.

Chu Chen looked up at Yun Sheng. He did not see any trace of affection for him in Yun Sheng's eyes.

"Why are you looking at me!" Yun Sheng touched his face. "I came back especially to remind you. Don't be fooled by this woman."

"Since you like Miss Ning so much, I don't mind helping you." Chu Chen said indifferently.

Yun Sheng immediately widened his eyes. "I'm doing this for your own good. It's fine if you don't appreciate my kindness, but you're still making sarcastic remarks."

"If you like, you can take her with you. I don't mind." Chu Chen was referring to her as Shui Qingyan.

"What kind of joke is this!" Yun Sheng immediately stood up. "I don't want to have anything to do with this brainless woman!"

Chu Chen glanced at Yun Sheng, an unfathomable glint in his eyes.

"Friends and wives are not to be trifled with. Not to mention that you have already made a personal life, even if it was not for you making a personal life, I would still not want to have anything to do with her!" Yun Sheng had a solemn look on his face.

"If it wasn't because her grandfather was Imperial Father's teacher and her mother was an intimate friend of Imperial Mother, I wouldn't even be bothered to have anything to do with her!" Just the thought of it made Yun Shi feel dizzy. "You don't know. When she was young..."

Yun Sheng painstakingly said all of Shui Qingyan's bad news for two hours, from stealing his snacks when he was young to pushing Fifth Prince into the water, to hitting Princess Feicui. Chu Chen knew and didn't know that he had said all sorts of things.

"Do you know who she is now?" In the end, Yun Sheng's mouth was dry as he looked at Chu Chen seriously.

"Didn't she not enter the palace in three years?" Chu Chen glanced at Yun Sheng thoughtfully. "You know everything."

Yun Sheng was immediately infuriated. "It's not like I want to know. Every time I return to the palace, someone whispers in my ear," What can I do? "

Chu Chen seemed to believe it but not believe it.

"If you don't believe me, don't blame me for not telling you." Yun Sheng curled his lips.

After a long while, Chu Chen slowly spoke out, "The reason why I saved her was because she had something that I wanted. It's not like the rumors, Seventh Prince is overthinking it."

"What do you want from her?" Yun Sheng said in disdain.

"You will understand later." Chu Chen did not say much.

"Up to you." Yun Sheng did not mind. "I'm going to the forest to catch some game. Didn't you get sick the day before yesterday? Can you still eat?"

"I said no, can you catch a few less?" Chu Chen glanced at Yun Sheng.

When Yun Shi heard this, he gave a faint smile. His peach blossom eyes were curved as he said, "No."

Liuyi immediately rushed towards the sky and rolled his eyes. What Seventh Prince said was not nonsense.

Not long after Seventh Prince left, Liu Si returned with the dizzy Yu Niang.

"Mistress, the person is back." Liu Si threw Yu Niang on the ground.

Liuyi sucked in a breath of cold air. This blockhead Liu Si really didn't know how to care for the fairer sex. Yu Niang was still a woman after all.

Sure enough, Yu Niang's eyebrows rose up as she was thrown on the ground. After she woke up, she saw Chu Chen sitting there with a cup in his hand. He looked like a god and immediately opened his eyes wide and kneeled down.

"Greetings prince."

Chu Chen glanced at Yu Niang indifferently, and then said: "Those are clothes over there, I'll help you Miss Jia to change."

"Yes." Yu Niang stood up. She had been in the Qingfeng Stronghold for a few days, and just as she was thinking about how to return, she was caught. Thinking about it, Yu Niang heaved a sigh of relief.

Yu Niang took the bag and walked to the big bed. When she saw that Shui Qingyan was wearing men's clothes, her heart immediately went cold. She had heard that Prince Chu's medical skills were great, could it be that Prince Chu had changed the young miss's clothes and treated her wounds?

With a guess, Yu Niang put down the curtain and started to change Shui Qingyan's clothes.
