When the servants of the Third Prince's Mansion saw Princess Anshun running around in the mansion carrying a wine bottle, they looked as if they were not surprised.
Qin Zhen walked for a while, picked up someone casually, and asked, "Where is your highness?"
The man didn't think for a second, and immediately betrayed his master, pointing to the pavilion in the back garden: "The third highness is in the pavilion, and the fourth highness is also there."
Qin Zhen let her go: "Okay, I'll go by myself."
So the man turned around and left.
Qin Zhen took the wine and went to the back garden. What she saw was a large flat land with nothing on it.
Qin Zhen stared at the flat ground for a few times, her face a little uncomfortable.
There was originally a pond here...but once she got angry with Lou Yan and jumped into the lake. After Lou Yan took her out of the lake, he turned around and had the lake filled up.
The current Third Prince's Mansion has no pond, not even a puddle.
Qin Zhen touched her nose and went directly to the pavilion without looking at it.
In the pavilion, there were really two people.
Lou Yan was sitting drinking tea with an expressionless face and his mouth tightly closed.
Xiao Yao stood beside him and was talking at length, his words were spitting.
It's a pity that no matter how much he said, he was just talking to a cow, and Lou Yan didn't even look at him.
Xiao Yao was frustrated and didn't know what to do when he saw Qin Zhen coming in from outside, carrying a bottle of wine in her hand.
Xiao Yao stared at the wine pot for a moment and confirmed that it was the one he took to Wanyan Tower.
The person who just said he should give up drinking is now here with a bottle of wine?
Xiao Yao: "Why are you here?"
Lou Yan: "Have you been drinking?"
The two spoke almost at the same time.
After Xiao Yao finished speaking, he quickly glanced at Lou Yan, as if to confirm whether it was an illusion.
Since he entered the Third Prince's Mansion, Lou Yan has not said a word. But as soon as Qin Zhen arrived and did nothing, Lou Yan spoke.
This made Xiao Yao keenly aware that something was wrong.
Qin Zhen first smiled at Xiao Yao and said, "Come and have fun when you are bored."
Xiao Yao: "..."
Are you here to play with a mute? Are you sure you're not joking?
However, Qin Zhen had already sat down next to Lou Yan with a wine bottle, rolled her eyes at Lou Yan, and said angrily: "I didn't drink, I just took it."
Lou Yan's eyes, which were still cold just now, softened instantly. He looked at Qin Zhen and said, "Very good."
Xiao Yao: "..."
Although it was a very ordinary word, Xiao Yao felt goosebumps all over his body.
It seems that what his third brother said was not very good, but: so good.
Xiao Yao thought of this and felt that he was sick.
On the other side, Qin Zhen took a teacup on the plate, poured a glass of wine, and asked Lou Yan: "Can I drink now?"
A smile flashed in Lou Yan's eyes and he said, "Okay."
After thinking about it, he told the people standing outside the pavilion: "Go and prepare some food to go with the wine."
Xiao Yao watched Qin Zhen drinking. He couldn't hold it back and asked, "Aren't you quitting drinking?"
Qin Zhen: "Now I have broken the vow."
Xiao Yao: "..."
Lou Yan, who had been ignoring Xiao Yao, suddenly looked over, frowned and asked, "Are you looking for her to drink?"
Xiao Yao was excited: "Yes, yes."
"No!" Lou Yan said in a deep voice with a cold face, staring straight at Xiao Yao.
Xiao Yao: "..."
Xiao Yao's body stiffened when he saw it, and he subconsciously looked at Qin Zhen.
But Qin Zhen only focused on drinking and had no intention of speaking for Xiao Yao at all.
Xiao Yao was silent for a moment, then took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I understand."
Only then did Lou Yan retract his gaze.
He looked at Qin Zhen beside him again and said softly: "Drink less, or you will feel uncomfortable if you drink too much."
Qin Zhen was impatient: "Don't worry about me."
Her father wasn't even that bothered.
Lou Yan was silent and said nothing more. When the food and drinks came, he took the chopsticks and lowered his head to pick up the food for Qin Zhen.
Xiao Yao looked at the two people and felt that he seemed redundant.
He had something to ask for, and stood in the corner without daring to say a word, for fear of offending his third brother.
His third brother has an unusually weird temper.
Until Qin Zhen had eaten and drank enough, the food and drinks were removed, and the wine bottle was confiscated, Xiao Yao finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He was thinking to himself, can Third Brother take care of him now?
But before he could speak, Lou Yan whispered to Qin Zhen beside him: "Are you dizzy? I'll take you to rest."
Qin Zhen didn't want to move when the weather got cold. Now that she had eaten and drank enough, she felt sleepy. She couldn't hold it back and stood up to rest.
Anyway, there is an exclusive room for Qin Zhen in the third prince's mansion.
When Qin Zhen walked to the door of the pavilion, she seemed to remember something and said to Lou Yan: "You still have guests here, so you don't need to send me there. I'll go by myself."
Lou Yan frowned and glanced at Xiao Yao with a bit of disgust in his eyes.
Xiao Yao: "..."
Before Qin Zhen left, she said again: "Your Highness, the Fourth Highness, is very filial. Please help me if you can."
After saying that, Qin Zhen waved her hands, turned and left.
Lou Yan kept staring at her, seeing that she was going to the room instead of the door, and then he looked away.
Xiao Yao pursed his lips and was about to try to persuade Lou Yan again when Lou Yan suddenly spoke.
"Murong Yan's whereabouts are unpredictable when she travels. It's difficult to find her," Lou Yan said.
Xiao Yao looked at Lou Yan in shock, he had not yet recovered.
He spent a long time without the other party saying a word, but now he took the initiative to speak?
Could it be because...Qin Zhen's casual instructions should no longer be casual?
Lou Yan ignored Xiao Yao's expression and continued: "I don't guarantee that I can find her. I can only try to write a letter. Don't have too much hope."
Xiao Yao came back to his senses, feeling ecstatic in his heart.
If his third brother said this, it meant that he had agreed. Since he had spoken, there was a possibility of success.
"Thank you, third brother, thank you." Xiao Yao looked at the other person, his eyes red.
He was about to say a few more words of thanks when he saw his third brother turned around and left without even looking at him after he finished speaking... Looking in that direction, was he looking for Qin Zhen?
Xiao Yao twitched the corner of his mouth, his third brother really ignored him completely.
However, such a cold person had a different attitude towards Qin Zhen.
Xiao Yao stared at the direction the two left, thoughtfully.
The atmosphere between the third brother and Qin Zhen... was indescribably subtle.
But I have never heard of Qin Zhen having a good relationship with the third prince.
But judging from the scene he just saw, Qin Zhen and the third prince are obviously very familiar with each other, even more familiar with each other than he is with Qin Zhen.
When did they become so good?
Xiao Yao always felt that he seemed to have missed something.
However, his mind was now occupied with the Queen's illness, and he really had no intention of paying attention to anything else, so he put the matter aside for the time being and didn't think much about it.
After Lou Yan left Xiao Yao behind, he went straight to Qin Zhen's room.
Qin Zhen was wrapped in a quilt with her back to the outside, her breathing was steady as if she was asleep.
Lou Yan stretched out his hand to pull the quilt for her and whispered: "Come to me when you know you are drinking...so good."
