Xuanyuan Hongxi did not even need to consider it much before he solemnly faced Xuanyuan Wentian who was several meters away.

"Regent, we order you to tidy up the estate within a day. One day, Prince Yingmo and the princess will stay at the Residence of Regent!"

Xuanyuan Wentian's steps halted slightly, but he did not turn around.

Just then, Ru Feng walked over and spoke to Xuan Yuan in a calm voice.

"Your Highness, the carriage is ready."

Xuanyuan Yun's expression was calm as he once again stepped forward, his voice uttering two words.

"Return to the estate."

Until Xuanyuan Wentian had left, he had not expressed whether he wanted Crown Prince Mo and Duanmu Yan to enter the palace or not.

When Xuanyuan Hongxi saw this, his voice was full of certainty.

"Prince Mo and Princess, prepare for a day. In a day, you will definitely be able to go to the reef lake from the Residence of Regent."

Hearing this, Duanmu Yan was naturally overjoyed.

As for Duanmu Zimo, he gloomily glanced in the direction Xuanyuan Feng had left in.

After Xuanyuan Yun returned to the carriage with Xiao Lan in his arms, he gathered all the gazes onto Xiao Lan, especially on her breathing.

After a moment, Xuanyuan Yun said to Xiao Lan in a low voice.

"This King knows that you are awake, so stop putting on an act with This King."

After he finished speaking, Xuanyuan Wentian stared fixedly at Xiao Lan's breathing, but this time, Xiao Lan's breathing was extremely steady and there wasn't anything unusual about it.

Xuanyuan Wentian frowned. Could it be that his words were too light, and couldn't cause any of her emotions to change at all?

Then... He said so.

"You'd better open your eyes for me, Ulan Yi, or you'll have to think about what will happen to the Wei family, especially Yuan."

As he finished speaking, Xuanyuan Yun stared more and more closely at Xiao Lan's breathing. He did not believe that "Lan Yi" did not react this time, as he clearly knew that security was extremely important to her. Otherwise, she would not have ignored and protected him in front of him time and time again.

However, after a full quarter of an hour had passed, Xiao Lan's breathing was still steady, and he didn't even pause for a moment.

Xuan Yuan's eyebrows instantly wrinkled.

What's going on?

Could it be that his misconception was that "Ulan Yi" was still completely unconscious?

Actually, it was not an illusion of Xuanyuan Feng, but he had tested the wrong time. At this moment, Xiao Lan had already gone to sleep because she was too tired, so no matter what Xuanyuan Wentian said, she would not be able to hear him. Even if Xuanyuan Feng said that he wanted to kill You An, Xiao Lan would only be able to give him a steady breath.

Even after the carriage had arrived at the palace, Xuanyuan Yun still stared fixedly at Xiao Lan's aura.

Outside the carriage, Ru Feng respectfully reminded, "Your Royal Highness, we have arrived at the manor."

Xuanyuan Yun finally withdrew his gaze from Xiao Lan as he stood up and lifted the curtain of the carriage's curtain.

Upon seeing Xuanyuan Yun step out of the carriage, Ruofeng couldn't help but cast a puzzled glance at the carriage. "Your Highness, wangfei …"

How could his prince ignore his wangfei?

"Take her to the Orchid Garden, and let her be taken care of by Ning Xiang."

After he finished speaking, Xuanyuan Yun walked with large strides into the palace.

Ru Feng looked at the gradually fading back of Xuanyuan Wentian, and stood in place blankly for a moment. He had originally thought that he would occasionally understand his own master, but now it seemed that he didn't understand his own master at all.

On the way home, his prince had taken care of "Wan-Yi" and personally done all sorts of things. He had sped up his journey to the imperial palace and treated her with "Wan-Yi" and now that she was safely back at home, he was so cold and indifferent, he had left her alone.

Could it be that everything that the prince had done in front of everyone had some other purpose?

Thinking of this, Ru Feng was startled.

That's right! His prince had no motive for whatever he did, so there must have been a reason why he treated her well a few days ago and took her to see the imperial physician today.

She quickly sent "Canglan Yi" back to the Orchid Garden. At this moment, the Orchid Garden was extremely quiet. Other than Ning Xiang, there was no one else.

Ning Xiang had long heard that today was the day for the prince and his imperial concubine to return to the manor, so she had long properly tidied up the Orchid Garden. However, she didn't expect that the returning wangfei would have the same appearance as the last time she came to serve her.

And this time, the red lotus had also disappeared.

After she recovered from her shock, she held onto Ru Feng with all her might and asked urgently.

"Protector Rufeng, did the wangfei and the prince quarrel again?"

Ru Feng looked at Ning Xiang and slowly shook his head. "No."

No?

"What's that?"

Upon seeing Ning Xiang's unrelenting manner, Ru Feng felt dejected and speechless for a moment. People always liked to get to the bottom of things.

Like the wind, he stretched out his hand to take away Ning Xiang's hand that was tightly holding onto his sleeve, and spoke in a deep voice.

"You don't need to ask anything, just take care of your wangfei."

After which, he walked out of the Orchid Garden.

Ning Xiang was stunned for a few seconds. When she came back to her senses, she could not help but shout at Ru Feng.

"If you don't let me ask you about my wangfei, then you can at least tell me where elder sister Red Lotus went, right?"

Ru Feng's steps halted. After a long time, he turned around to face Ning Xiang. However, a look that was never seen before flashed past his face.

This was the first time that she had seen such a heavy and frightening expression on her face.

Seeing the fear on her face, Ru Feng withdrew the heaviness on his own face, and left behind a sentence with an indifferent voice.

"You don't need to know where Red Lotus went. You only need to know that she will never come back, and that you will be the only one to serve the Orchid Garden in the future."

This time, Ru Feng didn't stay and left completely.

She stood there in a daze, thinking back to what Rufeng had said to her just now. The Red Lotus would never return ….

Why …

After Xiao Lan was sent back to the Orchid Garden by Ru Feng, her consciousness had already returned to normal. Thus, she had coincidentally heard the conversation between Ru Feng and Ning Xiang in the Orchid Garden clearly.

The Red Lotus will never return …

Red Lotus …

Xiao Lan silently recited the name of the red lotus in her heart. For a time, the experiences she had with the red lotus in this alternate world played through her mind one by one.

Gradually, a wave of pain arose in Xiao Lan's heart. This pain was as though it was solidified, as if a rusty sword was slowly grinding her heart. This feeling caused her breathing to stop.

Just as she was feeling the pain, a cold air gushed out from her chest and quickly spread to her whole body.

For a time, Xiao Lan was covered from head to toe in cold air and his temperature was extremely low. Very quickly, Xiao Lan felt that he was within a Ten Thousand Year Freezing Pool.

As the cold air became more and more intense, Xiao Lan's heart, which had originally felt pain, actually no longer felt the slightest bit of pain. It was as if her heart was frozen, and could no longer produce any form of sympathy or sadness.

What was going on!?

Shock and panic that she couldn't suppress flashed through Xiao Lan's mind.
