Prince Rui, don't spoil your adopted daughter too much: she will eventually get married

Chapter 210 Reunion with the Musician

She's a princess; if she wakes up and finds out someone plotted against her, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Yan Nanheng acted innocently, "Can't we just throw it back and pretend nothing happened?"

He only helped them because of his senior brother, so he can't be blamed entirely for what happened.

Zhai Yun was truly frightened. Now that she had calmed down and thought about it carefully, Yan Nanheng's suggestion was quite good. "You should quickly send her back to her bed in her palace. Today, everyone in the Prince Rui's mansion strictly followed orders. Princess Mingyue has not been to the Prince Rui's mansion."

When asked to send him back to his palace, Zhai Yun said this to Yan Nanheng. Judging from the competition's secret realm, he was no ordinary person. It shouldn't be difficult for him to come and go in the palace unnoticed.

If Princess Mingyue were to wake up and confront them, as long as everyone in Prince Rui's mansion were to agree that she had never been there, then no one would know what had happened to her in Prince Rui's mansion.

Yan Nanheng pointed at himself with a bewildered look: "Me? I've hardly ever been to the palace, how would I know where her bedroom is?" Besides, it's broad daylight now, they really think too highly of themselves.

Yan Nanheng then thought for a moment, "I don't know, but my senior brother does! My senior brother is very familiar with the palace. If I let him go with me to solve this big problem, my senior brother might even thank me."

Yan Nanheng immediately beamed with joy: "Okay."

Looking at Yan Nanheng, who had initially refused but then readily agreed, Zhai Yun suddenly found herself unable to follow his train of thought, thinking that since he had agreed, he would keep his word.

Watching him struggle to lift Princess Mingyue from the ground.

Behind him, Qi Nuo loudly commanded, "Did you all hear that clearly? Princess Mingyue did not come to Prince Rui's residence today."

The servants and maids still kneeling on the ground kowtowed and replied, "We heard you clearly."

The servants and maids dispersed one after another, and even Zhai Yun did not notice that Qi Nuo's ears had turned red and that he was trying his best to hide it.

On her way back to Tingyuxuan, Zhai Yun heard Qi Nuo say that he had arranged for Duan's mother to be moved at midnight that night, and that they would meet on the way.

As they passed a desolate courtyard, Zhai Yun suddenly stopped. This was the closest place to Tingyuxuan, a place that used to be very lively when the musician first entered the mansion.

Looking at its desolate state, Zhai Yun almost thought that no one lived there anymore.

"How are the people inside?" Zhai Yun couldn't help but ask.

There was no one guarding him outside, presumably to avoid attracting attention, so they confined him somewhere in the courtyard.

Since the prince did not order that the matter be kept from the young master, Qinuo answered truthfully: "After being restricted from playing music, I became haggard and mostly stayed quietly."

Zhai Yun recalled when he first entered the manor, he was radiant and full of pride, as if bathed in a spring breeze. It was only because he was too clever that she could have let him leave the manor.

Zhai Yun walked into the courtyard without realizing it. After all, she had brought him into the mansion herself, and she hadn't seen him for a long time. In terms of looks, he was far inferior to Feng Chenyi.

He also became quite good at playing the piano.

When they first entered the hospital, the ground was covered with fallen leaves. After entering the second gate, it became much cleaner and tidier. As soon as the two guards at the gate saw Qi Nuo and Zhai Yun, they immediately stood up straight and hurriedly saluted.

In the center of the familiar waterside pavilion, a figure was sitting. The person was still dressed in white, holding his zither in his arms, his fingers gently caressing it, but he dared not make a sound.

He didn't turn around when he heard footsteps. Zhai Yun told Qi Nuo to wait aside and walked over.

At first, the musician didn't care who the visitor was, until he saw the face of the person standing next to him. His eyes were full of surprise, which turned into joy. He hurriedly put down his zither, stood up and bowed: "It is the young master. This servant greets the young master."

He looked somewhat haggard, but...

Zhai Yun spoke softly: "Although you are not free, the food in the Prince's mansion has never been too good to you, so why are you in this state?"

The musician slowly rose, her face full of sorrow. "I used to be used to the hustle and bustle of the red-light district. Although I have enough to eat and wear now, it is really hard to live alone."

He looked at Zhai Yun, his eyes full of hope, casually placing his hand on her shoulder, his face full of expectation: "It's been so long since you've come to see me."

The moment he placed his hand on Zhai Yun's shoulder, Qi Nuo's sword was already drawn, but seeing that Zhai Yun showed no sign of anger, he sheathed it.

Seeing that Qi Nuo had sheathed his sword, Zhai Yun was no longer angry and became a little bolder. He whispered in Zhai Yun's ear, "Last time I wanted to drink, Your Highness was very generous and sent me two nice bottles. Young master, would you like to try them?"

He knew Zhai Yun from the time he met her, and she liked to drink, so he assumed that Zhai Yun liked to drink.

Zhai Yun then realized that she hadn't drunk alcohol in a long time, and the wine that Brother Yi had prepared for her hadn't been touched for a long time either.

"Go and fetch it," Zhai Yun agreed.

When the musician heard that Zhai Yun had agreed, his eyes were filled with excitement. He quickly bowed and went to fetch the wine.

Hearing that Zhai Yun wanted to drink, Qi Nuo, worried that the wine here might not suit his taste, asked Zhai Yun, "If young master wants to drink, I will go and get it for you."

Zhai Yun declined, saying, "No need to trouble yourself."

After hearing this, Qi Nuo remained silent and stood there quietly.

The musician returned slowly. When he came back, he had tidied himself up, his haggard look was covered by rouge, and he had changed into a white robe.

He looked much more energetic. Although he didn't have the refined and handsome appearance he had when he entered the mansion, he was still passable.

In addition to the wine, he also brought several dishes of food.

He placed some food on the table and invited Zhai Yun to sit down. After hesitating for a long time, he slowly said, "I was ignorant last time. Please don't be angry with me, young master. If you have time, I hope you will take pity on me and come over often."

After the musician finished speaking, he handed Zhai Yun a cup of wine that was filled to the brim. Zhai Yun slowly took it, put it to her nose and smelled it. It was wine that she had bought at a regular market, although it was still considered presentable.

The musician knew that Zhai Yun was used to drinking fine wine, and this wine was nothing to her, so he was relieved when he saw her drink it all in one gulp.

He happily poured Zhai Yun another cup. After drinking several cups, Zhai Yun saw that it was getting late and prepared to leave. Before leaving, she instructed, "If you need anything, just tell them. My Prince Rui's Mansion will not mistreat you in this regard."

The musician's concern was: "Will the young master come to see me often?"

Zhai Yun did not answer and strode out.

As soon as they stepped out of the courtyard, Zhai Yun asked Qi Nuo, "Has the Prince returned?"

"No." After saying that, Qi Nuo thought for a moment and continued, "The Second Prince of Wujin Kingdom wishes to see you."

Chu Xuan and Zhai Yun wondered why he had come to find them.
