Immediately afterwards, the second prince's voice was mixed with a hint of displeasure, and he asked the maids outside the door: "Why are you all standing at the door, where is Yiyi?"
"When I got back to Your Highness, Miss Yiyi said she wanted to sleep in the house for a while, so she asked us all to come out." A maid replied softly.
"Sleeping?" The second prince hesitated for a moment, then asked: "How long have you been sleeping?"
"Reply to Your Highness, it didn't take long and we just came out." The maid continued to answer respectfully.
"Oh, I understand." The second prince nodded and said, "You go down first."
"Yes." All the maids lowered their heads and blessed themselves with the second prince, and then left one by one in an orderly manner.
After the second prince watched the maids leave, he turned his head and looked at the door in front of him thoughtfully for a while, then raised his hand, knocked gently on the door, and said in a low voice : "Yiyi, Yiyi, are you already asleep??"
Inside the room, Ye Qiqi looked at Mo Hanqing, who was still standing calmly behind him, with a panicked expression. She stretched out her hand and pulled his sleeve, then pushed him behind the screen in the room.
"You... you hide here first, don't come out, don't be discovered!!" Ye Qiqi lowered his voice and warned Mo Hanqing behind the screen, then turned to face the door and replied: "I was just about to go to bed, um...is there anything going on, Your Highness?"
The door creaked open, and the second prince lifted his robe and walked in with a smile on his face.
He looked at Ye Qiqi, who was standing beside the bed, and said in a gentle voice: "Did I disturb Yiyi's rest?"
"Uh... No, no." Ye Qiqi glanced towards the screen subconsciously, making sure that Mo Hanqing didn't show any trace, then smiled and said to the second prince: "It's just that these days I have been I was in a hurry to come to the capital, so I’m just a little tired.”
"It's good that I don't disturb Yiyi." The second prince sat down at the table in the room very naturally, then poured himself a glass of water, looked at Ye Qiqi and said: "I see that you are so young, so I want to come I suffered a lot on the way to the capital."
"Um... okay." Ye Qiqi straightened his robes and walked to the seat opposite the second prince. He hesitated for a moment, then sat down and asked him: "The second prince came to Yiyi for something important. ??"
The second prince smiled at her and asked, "Did the doctor from the palace come just now?"
"Yes, I've been here." Ye Qiqi was slightly startled, then nodded and said, "It's nothing serious about my foot. Just give me some medicine and take it."
"That's good." The second prince nodded, continued to look at Ye Qiqi and asked: "I have something that I want to ask Yiyi, but I don't know whether to ask it or not, for fear that it will offend the girl."
Ye Qiqi blinked and looked at the second prince's handsome face for a while, then said doubtfully: "If your highness has any questions, just ask."
"I would like to ask..." The second prince lowered his eyes slightly, looked at the tea cup in his hand, paused in his tone, and then continued pretending not to care: "Is there any marriage in Yiyi's family?"
"Ah?" Ye Qiqi was stunned after hearing his question.
