Chapter 161 Something Must Be Wrong

as gentle as a feather, afraid he might wake her. Then he sat quietly beside her, gazing at her silently. He had always focused his attention on Xiao Yufu, but he had never noticed before how much the..."Look at you two, if you don't eat this plum snack soon, I might just have it myself." Just then, Feng Yanniang walked in from outside, smiling and taking the plum snack from Qingluo's hand.

"Qingluo, come on, let's go sit over there and eat." Xiao Yuge pulled Qingluo toward the courtyard.

"Miss Xiao, someone is looking for you outside." Shortly after, Xiaowu came in to report.

"Oh, okay, I'll be right out." Xiao Yuge shoved the box of plum-flavored snacks into Qing Luo's hands. "Qing Luo, if you like it, finish it all. Don't leave any."

"Mmm." Qing Luo nodded, smiling happily. After such a fright, from now on she was only Miss Qing Luo!

"His Royal Highness, the Duke of Xian" Xiao Yuge was surprised that Qian Yi'an had come to Ruyi Pavilion in person.

"Little Song, I apologize for intruding. For so many years, I have lived deep within the palace walls. Yesterday, when you spoke of the beauty of the outside world, I was inspired to venture out today and find this place after a long search." Thousand Ease remained as gentle and courteous as ever.

Xiao Yu Ge only then remembered about giving him medicine. With so many things having happened yesterday when she returned, she had completely forgotten. At that moment, she was filled with apology: "Your Highness, that medicine... I haven't finished preparing it yet..."

However, Qian Yi'an simply smiled gently: "It's okay, no rush, it's good to go for a walk."

Xiao Yuge thought to herself that since people who were not convenient in their legs and feet had come out of the palace, she had broken her promise. It was not good after all. So she took a pen and paper from the side and wrote down a prescription: "Doctor Wang on West Street is very familiar with me. I have prescribed the medicine. Just go to get the medicine according to this."

"Thank you, Ge'er!" Qian Yi'an gestured to the palace maid Lianxin beside him to take it. Then, he said somewhat embarrassedly: "Ge'er, are you free today Would you accompany me to the place you mentioned yesterday"

His expectant face made Xiao Yuge unwilling to refuse, so she nodded: "Okay, wait for me a moment."

In a short while, Xiao Yu Ge came out with Qing Luo. She had said that she would take her everywhere from now on, so she wouldn't leave her alone here.

"Prince Xian" Qing Luo was about to bow, but Qian Yi'an stopped her.

"Here, outside the palace, there is no need for formalities."

"His Royal Highness, the Prince of Xian..."

Qian Yi'an broke off Xiao Yuge's words with a hand: "Girl Yuge, if you don't mind, call me Young Master An."

Indeed, if his identity were exposed in front of outsiders, it would be rather inconvenient. Thus, Xiao Yuge nodded: "Good! Young Master An!"

They came to the street together. This seemed to be Qian Yi'an's first time outside the palace in so many years. He was curious about many things, but his disability caused many people to look at him with pity, and some whispered to each other nearby.

It's a pity, such a fair and handsome young master, to be crippled in the legs.

"Looking at the girl beside him, she looked like a fairy. If it wasn't for his disability, they would be a perfect match."

Perhaps because of the many voices around him, Qian Yi'an became a little uneasy and no longer as curious as before. He grew silent.

"Young Master An, I will take you to a place."

Xiao Yu Ge noticed his dejection and personally pushed Qian Yi An towards a certain place. However, when they passed Dong Street, they found that the entire street was under martial law. Upon inquiry, they learned that today's envoys from the Chi Yan Kingdom and the Tian Zhu Kingdom happened to enter the city, so the entire street was placed under martial law.

The two nations' carriages paraded down East Street one after the other. Xiao Yu and Ge also stood in the crowd, curiously glancing at the envoys' procession. They just happened to see Hakza, who looked extremely rough, on the carriage in front. He instinctively frowned: Which country is this from Why does he look so savage

"Master An, let's go." Xiao Yuge had no interest in these politicians, so she pushed Qian Yi'an aside and walked away.

Just as she turned, the Tianzhu prince Mu Cang, riding in the carriage behind her, suddenly heard that voice that had haunted his dreams. He was overcome with excitement and stood up abruptly, quickly pulling back the curtain and instinctively looking out to search for that familiar figure among the crowd. His attendants also sensed something was amiss.

"Your Highness, what's wrong with you"

Mu Cang searched for a long time in the crowd, but he didn't see that familiar figure. He shook his head despondently: "Nothing..." It took so much effort to get here, but he didn't know if he would have the chance to meet that girl again.

Xiao Yuge pushed Qian Yi'an away from Dong Street, but then heard someone beside her say that this morning, people from the Ministry of Justice had taken away Minister Jiang, saying that he was a traitor who colluded with the enemy. Someone also discovered early in the morning that Miss Jiang had died with a changed appearance in the beggar's den outside the city, and everyone said it was her retribution.

Because the beggar who had snatched the bouquet last time died mysteriously on his wedding night, everyone knows what happened. They all think that Jiang Zhiyi's death in the beggar's den was karma.

Only Xiao Yu Ge knew, Jiang Zhi Yi deserved this! She just didn't understand, who on earth had caught that old fox Jiang Kun This time, the Jiang family was truly finished!

“Your Highness...” Seeing Qian Yi'an’s dejected and drooping brows, Xiao Yu Ge didn’t know how to comfort him. After all, Jiang Zhiyi was his cousin, and the two had even shared physical intimacy. And with Jiang Shangshu as his uncle, now that Jiang Kun was gone, he had lost the only source of power he had left!

"Don't worry, I'm fine." Qian Yi forced a smile, but couldn't hide the sadness in his eyes: "Miss Ge, thank you for accompanying me out today. I don't feel well, so I'll go back to the palace first. I'll come again another day to show my gratitude!"

"Alright, Your Highness, take care." Xiao Yuge didn't force him.

Qian Yi nodded, gesturing for Lian Xin beside her to push him away.

Gazing at the departing figures of the master and servant, Xiao Yu Ge couldn't help but sigh: "Every member of the Jiang family has a wicked heart, doing all sorts of evil, yet they make such an innocent person bear all this. It's truly pitiful."

"Miss..."

"Qingluo, let's go. You've avenged your revenge. Let's go buy a roast duck from Zhangji, your favorite, and celebrate." No matter who made old fox Jiang Kun step down, it was a good thing, something worth celebrating.

"Well, thank you, miss!" Qing Luo also had tears in her eyes, happily nodding.

When they bought the roast duck from Zhangji and were preparing to return to Ruyifang, they passed by Pinxianglou and suddenly saw a familiar figure upstairs!

"Miss, that's the princess!" Qing Luo had sharp eyes and immediately recognized the person on top was Xiao Yu Fu.

Xiao Yu Ge saw Xiao Yu Fu from afar and noticed that she seemed to be dressed very plainly. Strange, ever since Xiao Yu Fu became the eldest daughter of the Xiao family, she had never worn the same outfit twice every day. Why was she dressed so ordinary today

Something's definitely not right!ir way back, he had already heard what had happened.His words were also acknowledged by Xiao Zhan: “You’re right, but this is a tricky situation. Just now, someone from Qingfeng Pavilion came to say t...
