"May I ask, sir, are you going to the capital to visit relatives or friends?" Xie Yichuan deliberately tested him at this moment.
"I, I am going back," the man said after a moment of thought.
"Oh, so, sir, you are from the capital. That's good. My subordinates and I are also heading back to the capital. We can give you a ride," Xie Yichuan said with a smile.
"Really? Then I thank you in advance, young master. Thank you very much."
The man weakly sat up and bowed three times to Xie Yichuan. He was genuinely grateful to Xie Yichuan, because with his current physical condition, he might not even reach the capital before dying on the road, let alone seeing his prince and princess.
If that person impersonated his identity and mixed into the hidden guard team, and if no one from the Cold Prince's manor recognized him as a fake, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"You don't need to be so polite. Let us help you onto the carriage."
Immediately, Xie Yichuan and Mo Yi helped the man onto the carriage. As they were helping him, they accidentally touched a wound hidden beneath his clothes.
Xie Yichuan wanted to examine the man's injuries, but he was refused.
Xie Yichuan guessed that the man did not want to reveal his identity, so he did not insist on examining his injuries.
Then, the three of them continued their journey to the capital in the carriage.
Along the way, they traveled smoothly.
After traveling for almost half an hour, they entered the capital.
"Sir, where are you going? I'll drive you directly to your door with the carriage," Xie Yichuan said, glancing at the man.
After all, they were not in a hurry to return to Uncle Feng's inn, and they had already noticed that the man had quite serious injuries. It was better to see the good deed through to the end.
The man listened and thought carefully for a moment. He had traveled back to the capital in their carriage, and through their conversations, he could feel the kindness of the master and servant. Therefore, he told Xie Yichuan the truth.
"Young master, you can stop the carriage at the entrance of the Cold Prince's manor. I was originally a hidden guard of the Cold Prince's manor, but some time ago, I was calculated by a villain, which led me to this state. Thank you both for your help today, thank you!"
"Oh, I see. Mo Yi, drive the carriage to the entrance of the Cold Prince's manor!" Xie Yichuan said, nodding.
The man's identity was exactly as he had guessed.
"Yes, young master!"
Upon receiving his young master's order, Mo Yi quickly drove the carriage to the entrance of the Cold Prince's manor.
Xie Yichuan and Mo Yi helped the man down from the carriage and walked towards the entrance of the Cold Prince's manor.
Seeing three unfamiliar men approaching the entrance of the Cold Prince's manor, several guards frowned and immediately warned them.
"Three gentlemen, this is the entrance to the Cold Prince's manor. Please..."
"The Four Guardian Gods!"
However, before the guard could finish his sentence, the man in tattered clothes interrupted him.
"Huh? How did this person know the nickname the princess consort gave to the four guards?"
This nickname was only known to people within the Cold Prince's manor. Could this man be...?
The Four Guardian Gods looked closely at the man's face full of wounds, but after looking for a long time, they couldn't recognize him.
"The Four Guardian Gods, I am Yin Si! Is the Yin Si inside the manor real or fake?" Yin Si cried out loud as he revealed his identity.
"What? You are Yin Si?"
The Four Guardian Gods were somewhat disbelieving. Last time, when a spy was caught in the manor, wasn't it said that Yin Si was already dead?
"You, you quickly go in and tell the Prince and Princess about this," one of the guards said, pointing to a guard behind him.
Immediately, that guard rushed into the Cold Prince's manor.
A moment later, Jun Mohan and Leng Ruoli, who had received the news, quickly came out.
Looking up, they saw Xie Yichuan and his subordinate supporting a weak man with a face full of wounds.
Yin Si looked at the Cold Prince and Princess and immediately knelt down, crying uncontrollably with emotion.
"Prince, Princess, I am the real Yin Si!" Yin Si cried loudly.
"Yin Si, I didn't expect it to be you. It's great news that you are still alive," Leng Ruoli said, her mood also becoming very excited after confirming he was the real Yin Si.
Jun Mohan, standing beside her, was also as happy as Leng Ruoli to see Yin Si alive. However, he only liked to show his emotions when facing Leng Ruoli. When he faced others, even if he was overjoyed, he would not reveal it.
After the Cold Prince and Princess confirmed that this person was indeed Yin Si, they immediately invited the three into the manor.
Xie Yichuan did not want to go in at first, but every time he saw Leng Ruoli, he felt that she was very similar to the little girl in his dreams. Thus, as if his body was out of his control, he also stepped into the Cold Prince's manor.
After they entered, Leng Ruoli led Xie Yichuan and his servant into the reception hall to entertain them. As for Yin Si, Jun Mohan sent him to Chu Mingxuan's courtyard to treat his injuries.
"Thank you both for saving Yin Si!" After inviting Xie Yichuan to sit down, Leng Ruoli quickly thanked him.
"Cold Princess Consort, you are too kind. I was just passing by and brought him back to the capital by chance. I didn't expect him to be one of your Cold Prince's manor's hidden guards," Xie Yichuan said very politely.
But his eyes were appraising Leng Ruoli from head to toe.
The Cold Princess Consort's eyes really looked more and more like the little girl who used to call him brother in his dreams.
At the same time, Leng Ruoli was also appraising Xie Yichuan. For some reason, every time she saw this man, she felt an inexplicable sense of closeness, like the feeling between relatives.
Jun Mohan, standing by, saw his princess consort exchanging glances with another man and his jealousy flared up. His expression instantly darkened, and his gaze towards Leng Ruoli and Jun Mohan became icy cold.
Leng Ruoli and Xie Yichuan both noticed Jun Mohan's unusual behavior and withdrew their gazes.
"Cold Princess Consort, may I take the liberty to ask you a question? Do you have a brother?" Xie Yichuan asked her directly.
Upon hearing this, Leng Ruoli and Jun Mohan exchanged a look. After a few seconds of愣，Leng Ruoli replied, "Young Master Xie, this Princess Consort does indeed have an elder brother, but later, due to some circumstances in our Leng family, my own brother went missing. My father and I have not found him to this day. May I ask why Young Master Xie is asking?"
"Oh, oh, there's nothing else. It's just that when I look at the Cold Princess Consort, she resembles an old acquaintance of mine, so I was being nosy and asked."
After hearing Leng Ruoli's words, Xie Yichuan's tone even became somewhat choked.
He could now confirm his own background. He was very likely the eldest son of the General Leng's manor who had gone missing in his childhood.
"It's alright, Young Master Xie!" Leng Ruoli said with a smile.
"I have disturbed you both today. I have other matters to attend to, so I will take my leave."
Afterward, Xie Yichuan found an excuse and left the Cold Prince's manor.
