C84 Humanity Is Hard to Repay

The guards on both sides looked at each other and grinned. "How can you meet His Highness as you wish? Get lost! If you cause trouble in front of the mansion again, be careful not to lock you up in jail. "

There were many guards who took turns in the royal residence every day. There were many who had never seen Yunshu before. Moreover, even if they had seen her before, according to the rules, they could not rashly put her in the residence. The one living inside was the Emperor's brother, their Great Liang's prince. It was not like they were unimportant people. If their negligence caused the Royal Highness to be injured, they might even lose their heads.

Yun Zhu looked at the Prominent Manor, but she did not see any familiar people passing by. Thus, she said to the guards, "Then please help to inform them that Yun Zhu is looking for His Highness, Prince Heng, for something."

The guard who had spoken earlier only waved at her somewhat impatiently. "Our Royal Highness has a lot of matters to attend to recently. It's useless to inform them. Let's go."

Yun Zhu pursed the corners of her lips. She planned to find a teahouse that could see the entrance of the Imperial Residence first and wait for Xiao Heng to come out. In the end, when she turned around, she saw Qin Zhou who had flipped over and dismounted. She hurriedly went over. "Young Master Qin, can you bring me in to see your Prince Heng? I have something I need his help with."

Qin Zhou turned around and saw that it was her. He was stunned for a moment before he nodded and said, "Miss Yun, please follow me." As he spoke, he handed the reins to the guard who had come forward.

Thus, she followed Qin Zhou in under the watchful eyes of the guards at the entrance.

However, not long after they entered King Heng's Estate, a purple robe entered their sight.

"Miss Yun?" Zi Yun might be somewhat puzzled as to why she would appear in the Residence of Prince Heng again, but he only froze for a moment before revealing a bitter smile. "As expected, Your Highness treats Miss Yun differently. Zi Yun still has some matters to attend to. Let's go first. " After saying that, she bypassed them and left without waiting for Yun Zhu's reply.

Qin Zhou directly took her to Xiao Heng's Baiyu Courtyard. "Currently, Your Highness should be in the study. Miss Yun, can you wait in the side hall for a moment? I need to report to Your Highness."

Yunshu nodded.

In the end, after a few days, the calligraphy and paintings hanging in the side hall had all changed. Even laymen could tell that the painting of the Four Gentlemen that had just been hung was probably the work of a famous person. Naturally, the Plum Blossom Painting was hung in the most conspicuous position by Xiao Heng. Beside him, there was a question that said, "When flowers bloom, the straight beard will fold. Don't wait until there are no flowers and empty branches." Looking at the words, it was written by Xiao Heng. Below it, there was even an additional seal of his own.

"Miss Yun, did you take a fancy to it? This king will give it to you." A voice with an obvious smile suddenly rang out.

Yunshu turned around to look. "First, thank you, Your Highness. It's just that Yunshu doesn't really understand how to appreciate these things. Getting it would be a waste."

"As long as it's given to you, this king won't feel that it's a waste." As Xiao Heng spoke, he walked behind her. "If you don't like these things, there are still many in my study. Miss Yun, you can choose slowly."

"Forget about the calligraphy and painting. The reason I came this time is to ask Your Highness for help."

Originally, when he heard Yun Zhu reject him, his somewhat disappointed mood dissipated because of the last sentence. He immediately asked, "Miss Yun, please speak."

"Previously, when I was living in the Prime Minister Estate, I placed a jar of wine under the bed. Your Highness, can you let me go in and bring the things out?"

Hearing that she was actually asking for this matter, the sense of loss that had just dissipated assailed her once again. In the end, it all turned into a bitter smile. "Miss Yun, you are quite fond of the things that others give you."

"Miss Yun, you might not know where this king had thrown the perfume that this king had given you previously, right? This King has never seen Miss use it before."

Yunshu wanted to say that it had long been used by her to help with the fire when she burned the granary in Black Tiger Village, but when the words reached her mouth, she was afraid that the other party would feel even more that she did not cherish the gift he gave and turn down her request.

After weighing the pros and cons, she said, "How can a precious gift be willing to be used? I only stored it in a safe place."

Xiao Heng looked at her suspiciously. "Really?"

Yun Zhu nodded with a calm expression.

Seeing that she did not seem to be casually making a move, his mood slightly improved. "Accompany this king for lunch. After lunch, the person who went to the Prime Minister Estate to find that jar of wine will probably be back." The last time they had eaten together, they did not have a pleasant time. Xiao Heng was still brooding over this matter. He was thinking about when to eat together again so that he could take the opportunity to get rid of those bad impressions he left her previously. Seeing that this opportunity was right in front of him, he naturally would not let it go.

Yunshu agreed, but she raised a condition. She had to call Yang Siyuan along. First of all, she hadn't seen Yang Siyuan for a long time. She didn't know if his physical condition was really as good as what Xiao Heng had told her. Secondly, she didn't want to eat, so she could only look at Xiao Heng. After all, E Sha had only broken someone's finger a few hours ago, so it was impossible for her not to be afraid.

Just like that, the three of them sat at the same table and quietly ate their lunch. During this time, Xiao Heng still picked up food for her like the last time. But this time, he was smart enough to not say a single word. It was unknown whether this was his normal behavior during lunch or if he was afraid that he would accidentally ruin the atmosphere again.

Yun Zhu also did not have the mood to think about those things. She only cared about whether Yang Siyuan's injuries had recovered and whether she could get her things. Fortunately, after some observation, at least on the surface, Yang Siyuan seemed to be fine. And she had indeed taken back the small jar of Top Scholar Red after eating.

It was rare for Xiao Heng to say something like this again, so she secretly let out a sigh of relief.

Perhaps it was because he had lied to her about keeping the perfume that made him happy, but after Yang Siyuan said that he wanted to leave with Yunshu, he kept his promise of "letting Yang Siyuan go" and did not say anything to stop her.

A few days later, Yang Siyuan received a pigeon letter. It said that he had something to do and needed to return to the Yan Kingdom, so he asked Yunshu to go back with him. However, Yunshu directly told him about Xiao Heng's previous threats, indicating that she was temporarily unable to leave. In the end, Yang Siyuan could only write a letter to Xiao Heng, leaving Yunshu to leave on her own.

After Xiao Heng received the letter and read its contents, he could not help but laugh. He placed the letter on the candle flame and burned it. "This King does not need your reminder. This King will naturally take good care of my people. You should do your best to create another opportunity for Great Liang to destroy Yan. This is what a dog that has lost its home should do. "

The night wind poured into the window and extinguished the only candle flame in front of the bed. Outside the room, the moon was covered by thick dark clouds, and the quiet night was faintly filled with killing intent.

And it was the first time in the day that Yunshu, who had sent Yang Siyuan away, was unable to sleep in this residence. Her heart was in a mess. She had a feeling that something bad would happen. She put on a coat somewhat worriedly and carried the lantern to the cellar. She took out a glass bottle and opened the cork on it. The aroma of wine instantly filled her nose.

When the cold liquid slid into her throat, she glanced at the neatly arranged glass bottles behind her. A strange thought suddenly popped up in her mind: If she drank all the wine that Xiao Heng had kept in this place, would Xiao Heng regret letting her live here? And then chase her out?

But in the blink of an eye, she felt that this method would not work. Xiao Heng was a dignified prince. If he didn't put her in the repository, he could also put her in some other repository. Or perhaps he could directly let her live in King Heng's Estate. In any case, it seemed that he wouldn't completely set her free for the time being.

When she thought of this, she took another bottle of wine and opened it. It was only when she felt sleepy that she put down the glass bottle in her hand and returned to her room.

On the day before the appointment with Xiao Ya, Xiao Heng actually came to the Serene Hall. It was probably because the matters in the Prime Minister Estate had been settled. However, he did not directly come in. Instead, he let the servant who had come to open the door notify him. The servant thought that it was strange. How could there be a host who had to inform the guests who were temporarily staying inside when they entered their own territory? However, due to Xiao Heng's identity, he still silently did as he was told.

Upon hearing the announcement, Yun Zhu also became depressed like a servant. She did not expect Xiao Heng to be singing something like this, but she cooperated with him to open the door and let him in.

After the servant went out, she placed the book that she had casually picked up to read by the side, pinched a piece of candied fruit, and put it in her mouth. She let Fang Qu, who was waiting by the side, change to the good tea that Xiao Heng had sent over earlier.

Actually, she normally didn't like to drink tea, but Xiao Heng had never asked her if she liked or not when he gave her gifts. She only sent those seemingly very expensive things to the sanctuary in one go. She thought that this courtyard belonged to Xiao Heng. The things inside should still belong to him, so she left them behind. In any case, as long as she didn't treat them as gifts, she didn't owe Xiao Heng anything.

The things inside the Serene Hall, like the wine in the cellar, had originally been stored here. It wasn't something that Xiao Heng had specially given to her, so she only needed to leave behind a corresponding amount of silver after she took the wine.

If she took the good things that Xiao Heng had specially given her as her own, even if the money she owed was easily repaid. It would also be difficult to repay a favor. However, this was probably just a small resistance against Xiao Heng. She subconsciously did not want him to do as he pleased.
