Zhan Tianye remained silent.
After a moment of silence.
During this period of silence, Qiu Lu lowered his head, his scalp growing tighter and tighter.
This was actually a choice without a choice.
Qiu Lu felt extremely distressed.
"Let her in," Zhan Tianye said coldly after a while.
Qiu Lu's head shot up, and he breathed a sigh of relief. "Alright, your subordinate will let Le'er in right away."
He had been genuinely worried that the Prince would disagree!
If he disagreed, the consequences would be unbearable for them!
What would happen to the Night Prince's mansion then? What about Old Master Qin? What about the young heir?
Just as he straightened up to turn and leave, he suddenly felt a prickling sensation on his back. The next moment, he heard the Prince behind him say, "Let Yun Shu come in."
Qiu Lu froze. "Ah? Let the Second Miss Yun come in?"
A chilling aura emanated from Zhan Tianye.
Although Qiu Lu was afraid, he still dared to speak up. "Second Miss Yun has already given birth to the young heir, unlike Le'er. Le'er is unmarried. Although it's a bit of a compromise..."
He spoke hesitantly, but before he could finish, he couldn't go on.
He could clearly feel the Prince's terrifying gaze.
Alright.
Then he would let the Second Miss Yun come in and speak to the Prince herself.
Alas!
"Your subordinate will go and summon the Second Miss Yun." Qiu Lu walked out with great helplessness.
Outside the room.
When Yun Shu saw Qiu Lu emerge, she had already decided to go with Jing Heng to look around. There would be some medicinal herbs she needed in the mountains, and they also needed to guard against pursuers.
Just as she was about to turn to leave, Qiu Lu suddenly called out to Yun Shu, "Second Miss Yun, the Prince wishes to see you."
"See me?" Yun Shu raised an eyebrow.
Seeing her was of no use. Zhan Tianye was definitely not an irrational person. The most sensible choice at this time was not to see her.
Qiu Lu nodded, his tone pleading. "Yes, Second Miss Yun, please go in and persuade the Prince."
Yun Shu simply lowered her eyes, thought for a moment, and then walked over.
At this time, Qian Le'er, upon hearing Qiu Lu mention the Prince, had her mouth agape in shock.
It was almost unbelievable.
The Prince?
She knew he was a distinguished person, but she hadn't expected him to be a Prince!
Suddenly, she thought of the rumors. The Night Prince had become disabled due to some incident several years ago and could only sit in a wheelchair. He was the Night Prince?
Qian Shu and his wife were equally shocked.
They had already felt that they couldn't afford to be disrespectful to the distinguished guest, and now they were even more terrified.
Qiu Lu saw their fearful expressions and walked over, saying to Qian Shu, "Cousin, I have something I want to discuss with you."
"Ah?" Qian Shu watched as Yun Shu pushed open the door and entered, his mind still buzzing, and he couldn't quite react.
He thought he would never see such a distinguished person again, but he never expected a royal relative to visit his home one day!
It was as if he were dreaming.
Qiu Lu directly took Qian Shu aside.
Qian Le'er, meanwhile, tilted her ears to listen.
After listening for just a moment, Qian Shu hadn't reacted yet, but Qian Le'er had already impatiently declared, "Cousin, I am willing!"
It was the Night Prince!
She heard that the Night Prince had been searching for a divine physician. With so many divine physicians in the world, surely they could cure him! Not to mention curing him, even if they couldn't, she would be willing to serve him!
Qiu Lu looked at Qian Le'er. Seeing her eager expression and the undisguised fervent admiration for the Prince in her eyes, he had seen such looks too often in the capital.
He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but couldn't.
He really wanted to tell Qian Le'er not to expect more in the future.
But Le'er was his cousin, after all.
Qian Le'er's heart was filled with immense joy. Fearing that Qiu Lu would go back on his word, she took a few more steps closer and reiterated her thoughts, "Cousin, I am truly willing! I am willing with all my heart. If my efforts can help the Prince, it will be my honor!"
Thinking that she could leave the village and go to the capital, or even live in the Night Prince's mansion, and see the Night Prince every day, this was the first time she had been so happy since she was born!
Compared to Qian Le'er's excitement, Qian Shu frowned. "Does the Prince like Le'er?"
Just as Qiu Lu was about to shake his head, Qian Le'er impatiently said, "Father, is liking that important? The Prince is facing difficulties now, and it's our first meeting. It's normal for the Prince not to like me. However, I have always been sensible and well-behaved, and I am good at taking care of people. If I go to the Night Prince's mansion in the future, I will also be sensible and serve the Prince, and absolutely will not cause him any trouble. Whether the Prince likes me or not is not important."
She liked the Prince!
She believed that dripping water could wear away stone.
She could make the Prince slowly fall in love with her.
Seeing Qian Le'er's flushed face filled with confidence and her yearning for the future, Qiu Lu said, "There will be a Princess in the Prince's mansion in the future."
The Princess?
Qian Le'er was stunned for a moment, but quickly recovered. "My status is low. I know I can only be a concubine. Don't worry, I understand!"
Hearing this, Qiu Lu had nothing more to say. He knew Qian Le'er had made all the preparations.
Meanwhile.
In the room, Yun Shu, who had walked up to Zhan Tianye, took out a pill from her怀. "Take this pill first. Although it's not as good as the prescription I gave you before, it can play a significant role. After returning to the capital, you can take the medicine and recuperate for a month, and you will be able to recover as before."
After saying these words, she noticed that Zhan Tianye had been looking at her.
In his bottomless black eyes, her reflection could be seen.
Silent, he exuded a hint of anger.
His lips were tightly pursed, and the corners of his lips seemed somewhat sharp.
She asked, "Does the Night Prince have any other confusion? Time is running out. There are less than two hours left."
At the same time, her gaze fell on his legs, which began to tremble slightly again.
She frowned, took out a silver needle, and bent down to insert it into his leg again.
Suddenly.
He grabbed her hand.
In his dark, bottomless eyes, there was an unfathomable light that could draw people in.
The hand that held her slender wrist was very strong.
As if afraid she would escape.
"Your legs are trembling, and it must be dealt with now!" Yun Shu said sternly.
The current situation was enough to show that Zhan Tianye did not have much time to hesitate!
Zhan Tianye stared at her intently, as if trying to see into her heart through her eyes, wanting to know what she was thinking. Even though he was holding her wrist now and feeling her warmth, he could not see through her heart.
"To push this Prince to someone else, are you truly not bothered? Or do you want to use this opportunity to completely sever ties with this Prince?" he asked in a deep voice, his tone filled with suppressed anger.
She didn't care!
Only someone who had completely put him out of their heart would not care!
Yun Shu's back stiffened, unable to meet his gaze. She forcibly looked away, looked down at his legs, and said, "This is the Night Prince's only choice."
Zhan Tianye's face turned even paler. "Aren't you eager for this?!"
