C98 There Are People in the Trees
It was Su Mingyue's first judgment that there was someone on the tree.
Yuan Che had always been a secret while she was recuperating. Su Mingyue carefully covered it up, afraid that someone would discover Yuan Che's whereabouts. She didn't expect that someone would keep spying on her yard.
Whether it was the people chasing Yuan Che or the servants of the Jing'an Marquis Mansion, if word of this got out, it would definitely cause a huge commotion.
Xichun and Nianxia had been hiding far away, not wanting to disturb Su Mingyue and Yuan Che. However, when they heard Su Mingyue's shout, they also rushed over with vigilance written all over their faces.
Yuan Che sighed lightly. He held Su Mingyue's hand and signaled her not to be nervous. He then said lightly, "You guys are still not coming down."
Under Su Mingyue's astonished gaze, two people jumped off the wall. One of them even limped, obviously the same person who had just fallen down the tree.
"Hereditary Prince." Upon seeing Yuan Che, their expressions also turned serious. Clasping their fists in salute, they agilely turned around and greeted, "Miss Su."
Su Mingyue also nodded in agreement. Su Mingyue had met these two before. They were the personal bodyguards Suxue and Mianfeng.
Seeing them, Yuan Che just sat there and didn't get up. He even pushed Su Mingyue down beside him, preventing her from leaving.
"When did you find them?" Yuan Che said plainly.
He had already stayed with Su Mingyue for five or six days, yet he had not even seen a shadow of them. The efficiency of the Marquis Mansion of Chen guards were simply too low.
The leader, Suxue, chuckled, "We found them three days ago."
"Why didn't you show yourself?"
"I thought you got along well with Miss Su, so I couldn't bear to disturb you?" Suxue was quick to say what he was thinking. Yuan Che felt that the hand in his hand, which was holding Su Mingyue's, subconsciously moved away, wanting to pull her back, but he even turned his head to the side.
Yuan Che clenched Su Mingyue's hand tightly, a pair of phoenix eyes swept across Suxue's face.
Suxue felt as if his face was cut by a knife. He quickly lowered his head, but there was a hint of annoyance on his face.
They had been searching for Hereditary Prince's whereabouts. When they finally found him, they saw that Hereditary Prince was having a concubine relationship with Miss Su and was thinking about Hereditary Prince's life, so they decided not to show themselves for the time being.
Yuan Che looked at his two bodyguards, especially Suxue who was not very steady. He didn't know what to say anymore. Did he really think he was hiding his strength well? He had noticed them not long after they had appeared, only thinking that they had not shown up and that there was nothing important to do, so he had not revealed anything and had the intention of spending more time with Su Mingyue.
However, he didn't expect Suxue to be so weak. Since he fell down from the tree, it seems that his skills aren't up to standard. It's necessary to go back and rebuild it.
It was fortunate that Su Mingqian hadn't come over recently. Otherwise, with just their little tricks, they would have been caught red-handed.
"What has happened in Beijing recently?" Since he had already appeared, Yuan Che could not help but ask a few questions. His sick leave had indeed been going on for a long time.
"Return to Hereditary Prince." Mianfeng could only step forward and clasp his hands in a salute. "There's nothing important to discuss in the capital recently. The empress dowager has been worried about you and sent people to ask you about it several times."
Yuan Che grew up by the empress dowager's side. To the empress dowager, he naturally had other grandchildren that were different. Having not seen her for so long, he was most likely very worried.
Yuan Che was silent for a moment before saying, "Wait for me outside!"
He really had disappeared for too long. The gentle village was like the Hero Tomb. This saying truly made sense.
"Yes." Suxue and Suxue bowed to the two of them and left. Xichun and Nianxia tactfully disappeared in front of the two of them.
