Ji Lan is different from Shu Hong. Ji Lan has always been fierce and cheerful. In a way, her ideas are very bold. Therefore, she does not have the idea that ordinary women must protect themselves for a certain man, and she does not agree that women must do so. Being bullied by a man, even if you suffer a loss, you can only swallow it silently. She believes that happiness is in her own hands. If there is a better choice, a fool would not choose it.
Shu Hong probably knew what Ji Lan was thinking, so she said: "The medicine is ready, take it over quickly."
After Ji Lan and the others brought the medicine over, they fed it to Fu Yunxi. Han Yan was sitting at the table drinking tea, and Shu Hong walked over and said, "Miss, it's getting late now..." She was asking if she wanted to go back to Prince Xuanqing's Mansion.
Han Yan shook his head: "I'm afraid he can't leave with the way he looks now. At least he was injured because of me, so just stay here for one night."
Shu Hong frowned and said with some disapproval: "But he is a man..."
"What about men?" Han Yan said with a smile: "If he is like this, what else will happen?"
Shu Hong insisted: "Why don't we find a room? Let's live on the other side."
"No need." Han Yan said: "His status is special. Someone in the capital must be looking for him. We came in together. If we look for another room, if we arouse others' suspicion, we are not afraid of ten thousand Just in case, the possibility of his identity being discovered will be greater."
"But..." Shu Hong wanted to say something else.
"What's more." Han Yan interrupted her: "How can we leave with him looking like this? Today we will treat him as a favor to him, and when we see him again in the future, we will treat him as just a stranger."
"Young lady is right." Ji Lan followed: "We are not afraid of the shadows being distorted when we are upright. There is nothing to be afraid of." Ji Lan's heart is now towards Zhuo Qi. Zhuo Qi is much better than Fu Yunxi. Although He is also a dangerous person, but at least he didn't hurt Han Yan.
Seeing that she couldn't persuade him, and knowing that Han Yan had made up his mind, Shu Hong couldn't pull Jiutou Niu back, so he sighed and stopped talking.
Han Yan walked to the window and sat down, opened the carved wooden window, looked at the crescent moon on the top of the willow tree and fell into deep thought.
Why did you agree to stay? Han Yan herself didn't know. In fact, she understood that everything Shu Hong said was reasonable. If she rushed back now, it wouldn't be too late. At least it would be better than staying out all night. If you really feel uneasy, you can ask Ji Lan or Shu Hong, one of them to stay and look after Fu Yunxi. But he still chose to stay. In fact, if it's just to repay a favor, it doesn't have to be like this.
Perhaps the reason why Han Yan did this was because deep down in her heart, she was unwilling to return to Prince Xuanqing's Mansion. The place that once brought her warmth is now filled with endless depression. No matter how much she pretends not to care, only she knows the pain in her heart. So tonight, will Fu Yunxi look at the crescent moon and worry about her in his heart
When Han Yan woke up the next day, Zhuo Qi was gone in the room. At some point, Ji Lan and Shu Hong, like him, fell asleep leaning against the window in a daze. But the difference is that he also has a men's singlet on his body, which Zhuo Qi must have put on himself before leaving.
Han Yan woke up Ji Lan and Shu Hong. Both of them were very surprised. They didn't expect Zhuo Qi to leave like this. After a brief moment of confusion, Shu Hong said, "Miss, are we going back to Prince Xuanqing's Mansion now?"
Han Yan hesitated for a moment, sighed, and nodded. Her home is not in Zhuang Mansion, and if she doesn't return to Prince Xuanqing's Mansion, she really doesn't know where she can go. Besides, if he didn't come back last night, he would be in big trouble if someone with intentions uses it to make a fuss about it. It still needs some explanation. If Fu Yunxi doesn't ask, that's it. If he does... let's take it one step at a time.
Ji Lan quickly followed and picked up Zhuo Qi's unlined clothes on the table: "Miss, what should I do with this?"
Han Yan was stunned for a moment and thought: "Just put it there."
It is always inappropriate to keep things on a man's body with you. Last night, I stayed to take care of Zhuo Qi, even if I was repaying his favor. From now on, we can get along with each other openly. There is no other relationship between them, just treat them as ordinary passers-by. Thinking of this, Han Yan hung up her veil: "Let's go."
The carriage arrived at Prince Xuanqing's Mansion and stopped at the door. Han Yan and Shu Hong could only enter through the main entrance. On weekdays, as long as Ji Lan said hello, there would basically be no surprises. But today was different. The gatekeeper shouted: "Who?"
Ji Lan is usually very close to the servants in the house. She is well-rounded and can get along well with everyone. The guard guarding the door also has a good relationship with her. Suddenly being yelled like this, Ji Lan was a little surprised: "What do you do? What..." He said and took two steps closer: "Huh?"
That person was not the guard who usually guarded the palace, but an unfamiliar face. Ji Lan was a little surprised: "Why are you here?"
"What are you doing?" The guard had a very bad temper and was an arrogant master. Ji Lan asked. Naturally, he said impatiently: "Something happens in the house, let me guard it."
Ji Lan was about to get angry, but when he heard what he said, he forgot about his anger and asked hurriedly: "What happened in the house?"
The guard glanced at her: "Miss Zhuang is missing."
As soon as these words came out, Han Yan and Shu Hong were shocked. You must know that the matter of leaving the house is not a big deal, and with Fu Yunxi's current attitude towards herself, she will not spread the matter with such a big fanfare. The most important thing is that if the news of a woman's disappearance spreads widely, it will do great harm to the woman's reputation itself. Han Yan suffered this loss when he was kidnapped by bandits in his last life. At that time, almost everyone in the capital knew about the kidnapping of the fourth young lady of the banker family. The news of her innocence was spread by everyone. But now... now such a scene has appeared again!
Han Yan couldn't help but tremble a little. Although Shu Hong thought the same thing as Han Yan, she had never been reborn after all, so she was not as affected by this matter as Han Yan. But suddenly seeing Han Yan so nervous, she felt worried for her for a moment.
The guard was still saying: "I don't know what she was thinking. She didn't stay in the palace all day long and went out to cause trouble..."
When Ji Lan heard this, he immediately became anxious: "Who is out to cause trouble? Don't talk nonsense!"
"Who are you?" The guard seemed to have finally noticed that Ji Lan had been hanging around here. He thought she was a maid in the palace before, but now it seems that any maid in the palace dares to be so arrogant and so aggressive. Could it be that she wants to He must have sneaked into the palace. He said: "Sneaky, stop wandering around here, go back to where you came from."
