Sang Zhan looked at Dongfang Yiyuan, and there seemed to be a flash of strong hatred in his dark pupils.
After a while, without waiting for Sang Zhan's response, Dongfang Yiyuan looked up and saw him standing quietly in front of the dragon case. The mask covered all the expressions on his face, except for his eyes, which were as dark and deep as ever.
It always reminds me of the person deep in my memory...
If it weren't for the age difference, and the real appearance under the mask was so different from Wanru's, it would be hard for Dongfang Yiyuan not to doubt whether he was the child he thought about day and night.
"Don't worry too much and take care of yourself."
Sang Zhan said in an indifferent voice.
He has always been like this, caring about others, and there is basically no warmth in his tone.
But such people may be much more sincere than those who often ask for help.
Dongfang Yiyuan nodded and continued to knead his eyebrows.
Seeing this, Sang Zhan asked him to go in and take a nap, saying that he would stay outside the royal study until he woke up before leaving.
Hearing this, the eunuch chief next to him hurriedly echoed: "Yes, Your Majesty, you didn't get a good rest last night, so you might as well get some sleep. With His Royal Highness King Zhan at the door, you can sleep peacefully."
Dongfang Yiyuan really felt tired, so he did not refuse.
When he stood up, he glanced at the head eunuch: "You can see clearly."
The chief eunuch smiled knowingly and said no more.
However, he just walked a few steps in. Behind him, Sang Zhan suddenly asked: "Why...why do you trust me so much?"
Dongfang Yiyuan turned around and looked at him. After a moment of silence, he asked, "Shouldn't I trust you?"
Sang Zhan's brows furrowed under his mask, and Dongfang Yiyuan said again: "Trust means trust." After saying that, he walked straight into the dormitory inside.
The chief eunuch glanced at Sang Zhan with a smile, and said with some deep meaning in his tone: "His Royal Highness, King Zhan, don't doubt that you are the person he trusts most in this palace."
After saying that, he also followed into the bedroom.
Sang Zhan looked at the backs of the two people disappearing one after another, and his thin lips slowly raised an almost invisible arc.
There was a bit of complexity and a bit of mockery in his eyes.
It's just that I don't know if I'm mocking others or mocking myself.
…
Night falls.
The palace was brightly lit and there were patrolling guards everywhere.
After Sang Zhan left Yujin Palace in the afternoon, he never went back.
After so long, the effect of that medicine has begun to gradually fade.
Yun Chan was waiting in Yujin Palace. During dinner, another bowl of medicinal porridge was brought to Yun Qingyan from the palace hospital. Yun Chan could faintly hear Yun Qingyan's movements inside.
After sleeping all afternoon, it sounds like my breath is not that weak anymore.
After eating, Yun Chan decided to go in and take a look at her.
After all, she is the original owner's biological aunt, so she can't act too indifferent.
"Queen, are you feeling better?"
After entering, Yun Chan saw Yun Qingyan sitting on the bed, and Guo Cui was feeding her medicinal porridge from a bowl.
The gauze curtain has been opened, and her face can be seen clearly, and her face has indeed regained a trace of rosiness.
"Chan'er is here."
Yun Qingyan looked gentle and looked at Yun Chan with a look of affection. Then she looked at the palace maid aside and ordered: "Quickly, bring a chair for Chan'er."
"No need, Queen. I just came in to take a look at you. I felt relieved when I saw that you were in good health."
"Chan'er, why don't you call me aunt? We're pregnant, right?"
It seems... too.
Yun Chan thought it didn't matter, so she called out.
"aunt."
"Good boy, come here and sit down and talk to your aunt."
At this age, Yun Qingyan has no children of her own. She didn't realize it when she was young, but now she always feels deserted.
She has not been back to the Prime Minister's Mansion for many years due to health reasons, but she also knows that her brother is Yun Chan, the legitimate daughter. She usually meets occasionally in the palace and rarely hears him mention it. She is indeed very fond of this daughter.
Don't really care.
In this way, she paid little attention to the child.
But since the last time she saw her, Yun Qingyan could tell at a glance that this child was not as weak and stupid as the rumors in the house. He had also secretly learned amazing medical skills, and he looked even better than her mother did back then.
A bit more beautiful.
Yun Chan stood still and looked at Yun Qingyan.
In the memory of the original owner, she did not find that this aunt had much interaction with the original owner, but she is quite enthusiastic towards her now.
Sang Zhan hasn't come back yet, so she is a little worried.
After hesitating for a moment, he refused: "Auntie, I'd better wait until you recover and I'll talk to you. You have a good rest and don't think about other things."
After saying this, he turned around and walked out of the dormitory quickly without giving her a chance to reply.
Yun Qingyan watched Yun Chan leave, with a hint of loneliness in her eyes.
"Guocui, you guys should go out too and wait at the door. I want to sleep a little longer."
"Yes, empress."
As soon as Yun Chan stepped out, she saw Guo Cui leading several other palace ladies out of the dormitory one by one.
She was slightly confused.
Is it time to sleep again?
However, she didn't think much about it. She walked out of Yujin Palace and waited outside for a while, but Sang Zhan still didn't come back.
This man, doesn’t he know what’s going on with him?
After not coming back for so long, she has to be forced to take the initiative to find him, right?
"Quick, over there!"
Suddenly, a group of guards hurried past Yun Chan. With quick eyes and quick hands, Yun Chan grabbed the last one and asked, "What happened? Where is King Zhan?"
The guard was grabbed by his clothes and had to stop.
Seeing that it was Princess Zhan, she immediately replied: "The assassin has appeared. Commander Xia and others are leading people to round him up. His Royal Highness King Zhan seems to have also gone, and his subordinates must rush over to provide support."
After saying that, he lowered his head and glanced at Yun Chan's hand holding the corner of his clothes.
The meaning is obvious, let her let go.
"How many assassins are there?"
Yun Chan pretended not to notice what he meant and continued to ask.
"Currently, I only see one person."
"one person?"
"Yes, Princess, please let go quickly, my subordinates have to catch him."
This time, Yun Chan let go of him.
How could one person cause such trouble in the entire palace?
Yunchan suddenly became interested in this assassin.
She suddenly raised her lips and quickly chased after him.
Following the group of guards, Yun Chan came to an abandoned palace.
This place is very remote. It seems that no one has lived there for many years. No one has cleaned the dead branches and leaves on the ground. There is only a small palace lantern at a long distance. Under the silvery light of the moon, it looks particularly depressed and eerie.
.
Faintly, you can also hear the crying of some women.
Yunchan looked around.
There is nothing unclean here.
Those sounds, are women really crying?
Where is this place?
The guards were indeed chasing this way just now, but why did they move in another direction?
Yun Chan felt a little strange about the voices of those women. After a little hesitation, the guards ran away.
Just as he was about to continue chasing, in the darkness, a burly figure ran towards this side from afar. Yun Chan took a closer look, wasn't this the murderer described by Concubine Yu?
That is, the assassin who is being rounded up.
They were rounding up in the wrong direction. No wonder so many people couldn't be caught. They were so stupid!
