"Your Highness, Commander Zhu and his men have been investigating for many days but have not received any news. Such people are truly untrustworthy, not to mention they are so ungrateful."
It was already dark when Xiao Luzi accompanied the prince slowly back to the East Palace. He was still worried and resentful towards Liu Yun.
It's fine for a commoner like me to become a eunuch due to financial difficulties, but it's different for the prince. He is a descendant of a royal family and he has to continue the royal bloodline.
Even if, even if you really have that hobby, you have to make sure it doesn't affect the continuation of your offspring. You can't let it delay your marriage and having children!
His origins are unknown and his whereabouts are suspicious. He is so disrespectful to the prince, and now he even makes the prince obsessed with him. Liu Yun is really hateful!
"No, Brother Liu Yun saved people from danger twice, and the people he had never met were strangers. He completely disregarded his own safety. This is truly chivalrous! As for his whereabouts being a mystery, I think he probably has other reasons that he doesn't want others to know."
The prince shook his head to deny Xiao Luzi's statement and ended the conversation. The lights in the room had already been lit. Song Ruiyang left Xiao Luzi alone to listen to his orders and took out a book to read.
The candle flame flickered and the lamp sparkled, and Song Ruiyang was a little distracted.
During the day, they said that they had mercilessly reprimanded Liu Yue at the palace banquet that night, and they really didn't remember it. What they could remember was kept in their hearts and they didn't tell anyone.
The last time he dreamed of that girl was the night before the birthday party. In the past, the girl was either catching fish or boating in the water, and she also peeled water chestnuts for him to eat. That night, she came and went in the woods as freely and agile as the wind, which really made Song Ruiyang envious and yearning.
At the Grand Princess' birthday banquet, he only remembered hearing someone talking nonsense, and then he started fighting with the other person. Then the man disappeared and the girl appeared.
She was so happy that she was about to go up and say hello, and then she heard the man claiming to be Liu Yue. The girl was scared and ran away. She blamed Liu Yue in anger, but she didn't expect to say to others what Zhou Zhiyuan had relayed.
Forget it, I can’t take it back now that I’ve said it, and besides, I’m just stating the facts.
Song Ruiyang just downplayed the matter, but he was still feeling uneasy tonight.
"Someone, bring in a hot pot of wine!"
Song Ruiyang put down the book, took the warm wine and sent the palace servants away, asked Xiao Luzi to take the ladder and went straight to the roof.
Half lying on the roof, drinking some wine while looking at the silver plate in the sky and feeling the breeze, Song Ruiyang felt even more bored.
The moonlight was wandering between the palace walls on the wind. The beautiful women who had been enjoying the day had all stopped sleeping. In the distance, there were a few dim and blurry lights. Song Ruiyang suddenly woke up with a start, realizing that he had fallen asleep on the roof.
What a boring night.
Song Ruiyang woodenly put away the wine jug, stood up and prepared to go back to the house to sleep, but suddenly a tile fell and he instantly lost all his sleepiness!
In a place I have never been to, the tile was lying crookedly!
The hairs on Song Ruiyang's back stood up and he crawled over carefully. Under the bright moonlight, the tile and the surrounding dust were very messy, similar to where he had just been moving, while other places were covered with a thin layer of dust.
He held his breath and lifted the tile, and underneath was his bed!
People came and went freely in the East Palace as if they were strolling in the street, and no one in the palace guards knew about it!
The prince of Liang tightly grasped the wine jug, and walked down the ladder with a sullen face. Xiao Luzi waited silently for a long time, and finally saw someone coming down, so he hurried over to support him.
But he immediately exclaimed in a low voice, "Your Highness, why are your hands so cold? Did you catch a cold just now?"
Song Ruiyang recovered and handed the wine pot to Xiao Luzi, "It's okay, go get some more hot water, I want to take a bath."
There was no one else in the bedroom. Song Ruiyang stared at his bed, then slowly walked over and lay down. A small rectangular piece of night sky with a few stars appeared.
Song Ruiyang suddenly jumped up from the bed, and when he landed, he had a sword shining with cold light in his hand.
A man in night clothes suddenly appeared from nowhere, raised his hand and made a sword flower, then rushed straight towards Song Ruiyang!
