"Qin Wanru, you want to go out to fetch Fenghua glass light?" Prince Chen said in a mild tone and raised his black eyes with his customary elegance. He turned over and coughed weakly and sickly.
One day was enough for him to know Qin Wanru.
Of course, Qin Wanru knew that the so-called gentleness was actually an illusion.
"Yes, I hope that the prince can help!" Qin Wanru requested sincerely though she was nervous. If there is anyone in the house who can persuade father to let me go, he must be prince Chen in front of me.
"Is this related to me?" The young man raised his beautiful eyes and looked at her with his head tilted. His smile was still elegant but his tone was a bit of ironic.
"It is the Fenghua glass light that the prince wants." Qin Wanru said respectfully with her fist clenched. It seemed that she did not see the irony in his eyes.
"I wanna see whether you can go out on your own or not!" Prince Chen narrowed his eyes at the same time. The original pale face immediately seemed to be evil because of this expression. He was no longer a beautiful young boy. "If you cannot go outside your own house, you don't need to fetch the Fenghua glass light!"
"Well...Prince did not care about the previous things?" Qin Wanru exulted and asked cautiously.
"How come! Am I so agreeable?" Prince Chen sneered with his eyes turning dark, which lowered Qin Wanru's head.
"Go. Fetch me the Fenghua glass light. Qin Wanru, I will promise you another benefit!" Prince Chen said lazily.
"Prince..."
"What! You don't like it?" It seemed that the handsome face showed gloom.
"Yes, all by the prince!" Qin Wanru said with her teeth set.
"There is one right sentence said by him was right. I've been grown up here. Since I can’t go out, maybe I can slip out."
"Moreover, I'm looking forward to the benefit he has promised to me as a prince."
"Come back as soon as possible!" Prince Chen waved his hand. Qin Wanru glanced at him secretly. Now, he seemed to be happy. His facial expression changed so fast.
She held her fist tightly, bowed respectfully and left. Then she stood outside the door, frowned. She heard a sinister and smug laughter inside the door and she clenched her thin lips unconsciously.
Prince Chen inside was deliberate.
"Her ladyship, how can we go out?" Qing Yue entered the door just now and dared not to lift her head. Now, after they left the room, she felt relieved but also became worried.
"Go to the old place!" Qin Wanru said firmly with a long breath exhaled.
"But... but the old lady does not allow you to go again!" Qing Yue said in a hurry. On hearing this old place, Qingyue was nervous.
"Don't be afraid. Nobody will know if both of us keep it as a secret. You go to let people prepare a carriage firstly. When I leave the yard, let's go to Jingxin Monastery," Qin Wanru ordered. Now, there was only this method.
"Yes, I will go right away. Her ladyship, be careful!" Qing Yue was worried and said it again before leaving the courtyard of Prince Chen with Qin Wanru in different directions.
"Prince...in fact, it is just a hand-picked effort," Xiao Xuanzi, the eunuch of prince Chen, whispered cautiously after Prince Chen laughed with his brows when he saw the pitiful girl.
"I'm sick so I can't lift my hands!" The beautiful young boy in Gaochun was indifferent, and then stood up with interest. "Let's go out and see. It's so boring that staying in it all time."
"Prince, you'd better have a good rest. This time that doctor will come here. If you can treated by him, it's likely that Prince will recover!” Xiao Xuanzi persuaded his master in hurry on hearing that his master wants to go out. His master is not in good health so he cannot go out as he wants like others.
If his master was sick again, he couldn't pay for it even if he used his own life.
"Let's go and have fun!" The teenager said, ignoring Xiao Xuanzi and walking outside.
Xiao Xuanzi dared not to stop when he saw him out. He took the cloak of Prince Chen on the screen on his one side and chased it out. When he arrived at the door, he was followed by two guards.
There was a swing at the corner of the garden, which was hanging on a big tree. There was a row of green vines on one side with purple flowers, which were very beautiful. Green leaves were blown by the wind and the buds were about to bloom.
Here was where Qin Wanru liked to come most. The swing was made by people ordered by her. The green vines were also planted by her. The little corner of this garden almost belonged to her but she was not allowed to come again by the old lady after falling once from the swing.
And here was the place where she and Qing Yue called the "old place".
Qin Wanru stood on the swing and felt it safe by pulling the ropes of the swing. "Old grandma ordered people to fasten the ropes in case of my playing it secretly. Since the swing was safe, Qin Wanru sat on it. However, she hesitated after sitting on it." She touched the place where her arm was injured, not knowing whether she would misplay. Looking up at the tall courtyard wall, she found when the swing swayed, it was likely to hit the courtyard wall. "Anyway, I have to try it." She held the ropes on both sides with her feet slammed back. Then the swing swayed, slipped down later and was about to hit the trunk behind it. When Qin Wanru felt right, she kicked the trunk behind. Then, the swing went out again. Then the swing came back again. She kicked it again. She was familiar with the swing, so she kicked almost at the same position. As the swing was getting higher and higher, she was closer and clo
Seeing that the prince also jumped into the wall, Xiao Xuanzi was scared. "Fortunately, my master did not like lady Wanru who was lying on the wall. He was standing still and seemed to be stable." Chu Liuchen stood on the wall of the courtyard, seeing a drop of blood on the wall with his eyebrows wrinkled and then seeing a drop of blood outside the courtyard. From the wall to the tree was a trail of blood which could be seen until somewhere along the trunk. Over there was a rut so it was possible that she left by carriage. Prince raised his eyes and looked ahead, only to see the back of a carriage. She was a clever little girl who left through this method. Then there was nothing interesting to see. He had his feet diverted and fell from the wall. Xiao Xuanzi was scared when he saw his master falling from the wall, reaching for the high wall on one side and coughing up with sharp pain in his chest. "P
"Where did this medicine powder come from?" the master of the Jingxin monastery asked casually as he took a clean cloth and wiped away the powder mixed with blood on Qin Wanru's wound. No one noticed darkness flickered over her eyes and eyebrows. Her hands trembled a little. But soon she held one hand tightly. When her hands were raised again, they were not trembling at all. "Is it the man's medicine? After all these years, did he finally show up?" "It must be the medicine from the doctor who was called by grandma!" Qin Wanru looked at the wound on her arm with a little confusion since she really didn't know. "Please ask old Mrs. Qin, which doctor gave her the medicine powder after going back." The voice of the master of the Jingxin monastery was soft, but there was a kind of heaviness which could be heard by Qin Wanru in her voice. Qin Wanru titled to look and thought, "Does the medicine have a problem?" "OK, I w
Qin Wanru had entered the room directly this time. The guards at the gates must have wondered how she got out in the first place. Nevertheless, since the general and wife only instructed them not to let her out, but did not say not to let her in, so they did not dare to stop her. Although Second Miss was never the mistress's favored daughter, Qin Wanru had always been the one old grandma doted on, and so no one in the Ningyuan Army General's house dared to be rude to her. Qin Wanru headed straight to the house where Prince Chen was. She was soon summoned into the house after waiting for a bit outside. Qin Wanru realized that Prince Chen seemed to have changed into a new of clothes within since the last time she saw him. He was currently clad in a bright red robe, which no man would have carried with grace. Only Prince Chen would have looked so stunningly handsome in such apparel. However, she also no
"Can I request that the prince help me get hold of an item?" Qin Wanru said softly, testing the water. She was certain that he had brought with him many men on this trip, given his status. Although there were only a few men here with them, Qin Wanru these were but some of the many men who showed themselves openly. There was bound to be many other men who were secretly watching over the prince. "What item is that?" said Chu Liuchen, smiling slightly with grace. It looked as if he was not the devil who provoked Qin Wanru to the point of gnashing her teeth. "A seal." Even Qin Wanru did not fully understand the use and purpose of this seal. What she knew was that Qin Yuru had used this seal to obtain favor from the Old Ladyship of Xing Kingdom, and was subsequently taken into the royal family to be taken care of as an adopted daughter for a period of time. For this reason, Qin Yuru had used her status to trample Qin Wanru underfoot and even thei
Qin Wanru walked to the table, picked up the brush, pondered for a moment then put the brush to the paper and began to paint. When she finished painting, she put down the brush and cautiously brought the painting to Chu Liuchen and said, "Please have a look, Prince Chen. This is the pattern I talked about." "This is indeed the correct pattern!" said Chu Liuchen when he set his eyes on the painting and raised his eyebrows. Qin Wanru felt a sudden bitterness in her heart as she remembered how in her previous life, she was so fearful of facing people when she entered the capital city, that she had to resort to painting to get by. For this reason, her painting skills improved leaps and bounds every day. However, her masterly painting skill did not get her anywhere. In fact, it was precisely her painting skill that led her to her tragic death, being cut in half at her waist. At that moment of death, she felt that even the sky appeared twisted. Wh
A few men looking to be ruffians forced their way into the room where Qin Yuru and Qi Tianyi were. Qin Yuru's personal maid and Qi Tianyi's sidekick who were not fast to react were cramped behind the door and cried out in pain. The commotion had attracted much attention from outside and people started crowding into the room to see what was happening. When the people who entered the room locked eyes with those inside the room, they were both stunned. Qin Yuru seemed to have awakened from a dream. She pushed Qi Tianyu away in a hurry and turned away from the eyes of all the people. "Where are these people from? Throw them out immediately!" bellowed Qi Tianyu, dismayed. He meant these words for the ruffians who barged in. "Isn't ... this the First Young Master of the Qi Family? How does he still find the mood to secretly meet with a girl?" someone exclaimed in surprise. Qi Tianyu was well-known among the people of Ji
Qin Wanru's lips had always been bright-red in color and it was precisely why her grandmother had given her the nickname Zhuozhuo, which means 'burning'! A part of memory was gone, but she could vaguely make out that it was because of her bright-red lips which resulted in her being charged with a crime. People treated her with contempt because of them and the circumstance she was under turned for the worst. Nevertheless, she was unable to remember the concrete details. All she could remember was that all the people around were scornful. "Why? Could it be some secret recipe that you can't reveal to me?" Chu Liuchen teased as he saw her face drained of colors and he reached out his hand to pinch her cheek. He was a little too rough and Qin Wanru was tearing up from the pain. While keeping her eyes on him, she lifted her hand to grab his hand that was pinching her. The pain had made her forget about the painful memory deep in her mind.
