Chapter 530: Regent King the Keeper Wants a Kiss 61
He said,
"The Hidden Guard can fetch it for me."
Su Yan shook her head,
"The Hidden Guard won’t be able to find it, and besides, I don’t even know the name of that place."
Only she can go.
Outside, the night was thick, and moonlight shone through the windows.
The pale moonlight spilled over the entwined figures of the two people.
After a long time, Yu Wenxu’s voice was hoarse
"You must return in five days."
Su Yan carefully calculated the time, would five days be about right?
Eventually, she nodded.
"Alright"
Finally, having agreed on the plan, Su Yan then left.
It was a long while after her departure.
The person who seemed to be asleep on the bed opened his eyes.
There was clarity in his eyes, not a hint of drowsiness.
In this manner, he stayed awake until dawn.
Days went by, one by one.
During these five days, the Prince Mansion was bustling with people.
Various court officials were visiting the Prince Mansion almost daily.
Why?
The Prince said that the new Emperor’s enthronement was imminent and everything must proceed swiftly.
Not just that, even those who had been struggling with the water disasters in the Southwest and droughts in the East were summoned daily, to report and seek decisions from the Prince.
During these five days, the Third Prince Xuanyuan Qing of Shayun Country also came here.
He wanted to express his apologies to Miss Su Yan.
He even brought a generous gift.
There were also some famous delicacies from Shayun Country that he had brought along.
It appeared that he had done his homework before coming.
However, while the gift was accepted, the person did not appear.
And his intention to see the Prince was rejected by the servant, citing the busyness of official court affairs.
This state of busyness in the Prince Mansion only lasted for five days.
On the afternoon of the fifth day, the Prince Mansion suddenly returned to its usual quietness.
And the Prince issued an order, claiming illness, he would no longer receive visitors.
The little eunuch, always diligent and attentive, served well.
Just watching his own Prince sitting in the courtyard, eying the osmanthus flowers falling one by one from the trees.
Not knowing what he was thinking.
Miss Su Yan had only been gone for five days, yet the Prince seemed to have lost much weight.
Every day’s meals, a table of dishes, he would only take a few bites before losing his appetite.
Moreover, being incessantly busy day and night, the wound on his chest was still not fully healed.
His complexion was becoming even paler.
The little eunuch was anxious at heart, pondering, where had Miss Su Yan gone?
She should hurry back.
He was truly afraid that something would happen to his Prince.
If this continued, how could his body hold up?
Yet the Prince stubbornly sat in the courtyard for several hours, until the night turned pitch-dark, still sitting there.
The little eunuch couldn’t help but speak up to persuade
"Prince, it’s getting dark, shall we go back to the room?"
Yu Wenxu’s expression was cold, he remained silent for a long while, then finally spoke,
"Is dinner ready?"
The little eunuch quickly nodded
"Everything is prepared, according to your instructions, Prince, it’s all Miss Su Yan’s favorite dishes, and twice the usual amount."
Hearing the little eunuch’s reply, he fell silent again, looking toward the entrance of the courtyard without a word.
And as time kept moving forward.
The underlying agitation in Yu Wenxu began to rise.
He no longer looked toward the entrance, but lowered his eyes and brows.
The little eunuch sighed in his heart, the Prince must be waiting for Miss Su Yan, right?
He had been sitting there for over four hours, and now it was deep into the night.
It was also evident that the Prince’s mood was getting worse.
The little eunuch, trembling with trepidation, spoke,
"Prince, Your Highness, it’s getting very late."
Yu Wenxu remained silent.
A cool breeze came, scattering a corner of the robe.
