Qiu Lu was very anxious.
Zhan Tian Ye remained unconscious, completely unaware of being under Yun Shu's nose.
His brows were tightly furrowed.
He didn't know if he could hear their conversation.
"Sorry, I can't save him. Take your prince away." Yun Shu didn't want to regret her decision.
Besides, Zhan Tian Ye particularly loathed her. Once he woke up and found out she had saved him, he might be ungrateful.
This time, Qiu Lu truly understood.
What he felt earlier wasn't an illusion; Yun Er Xiaojie truly didn't care about the Prince!
And she truly disliked him!
Just over two hours ago, he was convinced that Yun Er Xiaojie deeply loved the Prince, but now, his face stung with the realization that he was wrong!
When he arrived, he had been so confident that Yun Er Xiaojie would save the Prince. He never expected this outcome.
Suddenly, he recalled seeing Yun Er Xiaojie holding Xiao Shizi in the palace and appearing to be fond of him. In a flash, he inexplicably said, "If Xiao Shizi sees the Prince poisoned and unconscious, he will surely be heartbroken."
After speaking, he moved to carry Zhan Tian Ye away.
Yun Shu's eyes flickered.
She had overlooked Zhan Xiao Li.
Never mind.
It would be troublesome if he died.
"Wait outside, I'll save him," Yun Shu said coldly.
Qiu Lu immediately retreated without further ado.
Jing Heng was the most obedient to Yun Shu.
After Qiu Lu left, he went out to close the door and stood guard.
Then, he coldly watched Qiu Lu.
Qiu Lu finally noticed Jing Heng carefully and remembered Jing Heng's ruthless and fierce demeanor from earlier, a cold sweat breaking out on his back.
He had rarely seen a person whose eyes were devoid of any light, as dark and eerie as if coated with poison gas.
Truly, not a trace of human emotion could be seen in his eyes.
"I am Qiu Lu, the guard by Prince Ye's side," Qiu Lu introduced himself.
Jing Heng's gaze remained fixed, not glancing at Qiu Lu.
He had never needed to socialize with others.
Qiu Lu looked at his outstretched hand, and his mouth twitched fiercely.
The guard by Yun Er Xiaojie's side had a truly strange personality.
In the room.
Yun Shu took his pulse.
"Heh! It's quite dangerous, but your body can withstand it. You'll be fine for two to three days."
As she spoke, she took out her silver needles.
She only pricked Zhan Tian Ye's hand a few times.
Then, she took out the antidote pills she usually carried with her.
And fed them to Zhan Tian Ye.
Afterward, she went to a nearby recliner.
She pulled the quilt off the bed and lay down on the recliner to continue sleeping.
Unconsciously, time slipped away.
Yun Shu had already fallen into a deep, sweet sleep.
Meanwhile, on the bed, Zhan Tian Ye opened his eyes.
A bitter taste lingered in his mouth, more bitter than snake gall.
His icy gaze swept across the unfamiliar surroundings.
A faint, feminine fragrance drifted into his nostrils.
Suddenly, a sharp chill filled his body.
He propped himself up.
The moment Zhan Tian Ye sat up.
Yun Shu opened her eyes.
She looked at Zhan Tian Ye, who was now sitting up.
Their eyes met.
Zhan Tian Ye's deep eyes widened in shock.
Why was she here?
Yun Shu yawned, set the quilt aside, and slowly stood up, saying only two words, "Awake?"
"How are you..." Zhan Tian Ye started to question Yun Shu, but before he could finish, he noticed the furnishings in the room.
This was a woman's boudoir!
So, this was Yun Shu's boudoir?
Yun Shu smiled. "Want to know how you ended up in my home?"
Zhan Tian Ye's cold eyes narrowed slightly.
The scene before he lost consciousness flashed back.
He knew what had happened before he fell asleep.
So,
It was Qiu Lu who acted on his own and brought him to the General's manor.
Seeing his icy expression, still filled with disdain and suspicion, Yun Shu smiled faintly. "I saved you."
Hearing voices from the room, Qiu Lu outside immediately called out, "Yun Er Xiaojie, has the Prince awoken?"
"Mm, he has," Yun Shu replied indifferently.
Qiu Lu immediately moved to push the door open.
He was stopped by Jing Heng. "Master?"
"Let him in."
Qiu Lu immediately pushed the door open and entered.
Seeing Zhan Tian Ye truly awake, he was overjoyed. "Your Highness, you're finally awake!"
"Take this Prince away immediately," Zhan Tian Ye commanded icily, his entire being shrouded in darkness.
Qiu Lu immediately stepped forward, ready to carry Zhan Tian Ye.
"Wait," Yun Shu stopped them.
Zhan Tian Ye's gaze was like a knife. "What do you want?"
Yun Shu smiled faintly.
"You want this Prince to give you a title? If that's your condition, you don't need to say anything. You saved this Prince today, and Qiu Lu will send money tomorrow morning," Zhan Tian Ye preempted her, speaking coldly.
Yun Shu's smile deepened, her eyes sparkling with even more brilliance. "Does Prince Ye think I want you to pledge yourself to me?"
Zhan Tian Ye raised an eyebrow, his expression suggesting, "Are there any other demands?"
"It was Qiu Lu who brought you to me, and he moved me by saying Xiao Shizi would be sad, so I saved Prince Ye reluctantly. I saved Prince Ye merely because I was afraid Xiao Shizi would be sad. My request is for Qiu Lu to bring Xiao Shizi to see me tomorrow night." Yun Shu's eyes twinkled as she made a very reasonable request.
If it weren't for her son Zhan Xiao Li, this scoundrel could have continued to remain unconscious!
Zhan Tian Ye was stunned and stared at her with a face full of confusion. "What exactly do you want to do?"
Want to see Zhan Xiao Li?
"Do you look disappointed, Prince Ye? In that case, shall I make you pledge yourself to me after all?" Yun Shu curled her lips coldly.
Zhan Tian Ye's face darkened, and he did not respond.
He directly instructed Qiu Lu to take him away.
When they reached the door.
Jing Heng stopped them, signaling for Zhan Tian Ye to respond.
A cold, intimidating glint appeared in Zhan Tian Ye's eyes.
His powerful aura slightly startled Jing Heng.
"Qiu Lu will bring Zhan Xiao Li tomorrow night, but Yun Shu, you had better not try any tricks in front of this Prince!" Zhan Tian Ye threatened coldly.
Then, he didn't even spare Yun Shu another glance.
After the two left.
Yun Shu happily said to Jing Heng, "I'll get to see Zhan Xiao Li tomorrow!"
"Congratulations, Master!"
Yun Shu was so happy that she lost all sleepiness. "I'll prepare well during the day!"
Jing Heng nodded.
"What about that brat Yun Xiao Jing? Still no news?" Yun Shu expressed a slight regret. If she could let Yun Xiao Jing and Zhan Xiao Li meet and get to know each other in advance, then on the day they were truly reunited, the two brothers wouldn't be caught off guard.
Jing Heng nodded again.
"Ruan Xi also hasn't made any moves. Where exactly is Yun Xiao Jing hiding?" Yun Shu narrowed her eyes.
This time, Yun Xiao Jing's runaway was even more skillful than before.
Where was he hiding?
There was nothing fun to do, so Yun Xiao Jing couldn't possibly stay away for so long.
Therefore...
"Have people continue searching!"
"Yes."
...
At the same time, Zhan Tian Ye and Qiu Lu, who had left the General's manor, boarded a carriage.
"Your Highness, this subordinate cannot understand. Yun Er Xiaojie seems to like Xiao Shizi very much, even more than she likes Your Highness," Qiu Lu voiced the question that had been lingering in his heart.
