Before Wan Ruo could react, Liu Yuedie immediately recognized that the young gentleman opposite was actually Wan Ruo in disguise.
She quickly pulled the young gentleman beside her away, as if deliberately preventing him from seeing Wan Ruo.
However, she didn't know that the young gentleman beside her had already recognized Wan Ruo at a glance.
He also seemed to sense Liu Yuedie's intention, but didn't expose her.
Wan Ruo was just about to step forward to say hello. By the time she realized what was happening, Liu Yuedie and the young gentleman had already walked far away.
The person was right in front of her, but she just couldn't get a chance to talk. Wan Ruo had no choice but to leave dejectedly.
After Wan Ruo left, Liu Yuedie looked back at her back and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Are you on good terms with her?" the young gentleman asked coldly.
Hearing this, Liu Yuedie's heart skipped a beat. She widened her eyes, swallowed hard, and asked, "My lord, who are you talking about?"
The young gentleman just slightly raised the corner of his mouth, pinched her chin with his hand, and said coldly, "Who do you think I'm talking about?"
Seeing Liu Yuedie's nervous look, he found it even more interesting. He let go of her and asked indifferently, "That pretty boy just now!"
Hearing him call Wan Ruo a pretty boy, the stone in Liu Yuedie's heart finally dropped. Fortunately, he didn't recognize her!
"Oh, he's just a previous customer. I'm not very familiar with him!" Liu Yuedie replied indifferently.
"Oh? In that case, find an opportunity to kill him! You won't feel bad, right?" the young gentleman said indifferently.
Hearing the young gentleman say this, she stood there stunned, thinking she had misheard. She was incredulous and broke out in a cold sweat all over. Had he already recognized her? Or was he just testing her?
Seeing the young gentleman slightly curl his lips into an evil smile, he just let out a cold snort and walked away.
After seeing the young gentleman off and coming back, Liu Yuedie couldn't calm down for a long time.
"Yuedie, are you okay?" the madam saw that Yuedie's expression was a bit strange and quickly stepped forward to support her and asked.
Yuedie took a moment to recover and just shook her head. When she got up, she could hardly walk steadily.
"This was left for you by that young gentleman just now!" the madam handed the note in her hand to Liu Yuedie.
"Otherwise, let me help you into the room to rest!" the madam said with concern.
"No, I can do it myself!"
Liu Yuedie then forced herself into the room, closed the door, sat on the stool, and quickly poured herself a cup of tea. Her hands were still shaking uncontrollably.
She took a sip of tea to calm her nerves and quickly opened the note.
'Dear Miss Yuedie, thank you for taking care of me yesterday. There may really be no one else in this world I can confide in. I'm sorry to have troubled you! - Wan Ruo'
Liu Yuedie was a bit touched when she saw the note written by Wan Ruo. She folded the note and put it on her chest. She could feel a trace of warmth from Wan Ruo. Tears welled up in her eyes involuntarily.
No one had ever said such heart - warming words to her since she was a child!
I really don't want to hurt you!
On the other hand, as soon as Wan Ruo returned to the entrance of Shan'an Fang, she suddenly remembered the person beside Liu Yuedie. Wasn't he the Second Prince?
That's right, she must be right. But wasn't he supposed to be recuperating in the palace? Why was he in the House of Pleasure?
Moreover, he didn't look sick at all. Could they not be the same person? Or was he just feigning illness?
It seemed that she had to go and ask Si Hongxi. Maybe he would know what was going on.
Wan Ruo quickly ran towards the Prince Pingnan's Mansion.
She was out of breath all the way. When she arrived at the Prince Pingnan's Mansion, she squatted at the door, gasping for breath, and asked, "Is the prince in?"
The guard didn't recognize this person in men's clothing at first glance.
"Who are you? How dare you call the prince like that?" the guard scolded.
Wan Ruo looked at her own outfit and immediately understood. Gasping for breath, she said, "Take a good look. Who am I?"
"Oh! It's Miss Ruo Ruo. You are..." The guard carefully sized her up and finally recognized it was Wan Ruo.
Wan Ruo just waved her hand. "Cut the crap. Is the prince in?"
"Yes, yes, yes. But the prince is injured. I'll go and announce your arrival right away!" the guard quickly said.
Injured? What happened?
Wan Ruo waved her hand and gasped, "I'll go by myself!"
Led by the guard, Wan Ruo saw Si Hongxi.
As soon as she entered the door, she quickly sat down and hurriedly took a sip of water.
At this time, Si Hongxi almost didn't recognize Wan Ruo in this outfit. "Ruo Ruo? Why are you here?"
After taking a sip of water, Wan Ruo let out a satisfied belch. Only then did she notice that there were quite a few people in the room.
Qin Manman, Mu Qing, and Si Hongxi were all looking at her in confusion.
"I have something to ask you!" After Wan Ruo said that, her eyes caught sight of someone lying on the bed!
She got up and walked towards the bed. It was actually Wei Qingshan lying on it. "Why is she here?"
Si Hongxi took a deep breath. "It's a long story. What do you want to ask me?"
Wan Ruo pulled Si Hongxi aside and whispered, "I want to ask you. Is that sickly young man that An Yao called brother before a prince?"
Sickly? As soon as he heard these words, Si Hongxi immediately thought of the Second Prince, You Guang!
"How do you know? Why are you asking about this?" Si Hongxi asked in confusion.
"Is he in the palace now?" Wan Ruo ignored Si Hongxi's question and continued to ask.
Si Hongxi nodded. "Yes, he should be in the palace now. What on earth is going on with you? Why are you suddenly asking about this?"
That was really strange. "Guess who I saw in the House of Pleasure?" Wan Ruo asked mysteriously.
"Who? Could it be the Second Prince you just mentioned?" Si Hongxi said playfully.
He smiled slightly. This was simply impossible!
Wan Ruo nodded and said seriously, "You're right. It's him. I'm sure I'm not wrong. And he didn't look as sickly as I saw him before. He looked like a completely normal person!"
What? Si Hongxi was suddenly stunned when he heard what Wan Ruo said. Had the Second Prince been feigning illness all along? How was that possible?
You Guang had never participated in the power - struggle in the palace because of his serious illness. Could it be that he had done it deliberately?
"Hey? By the way, I heard you were injured. Where did you get hurt? What happened?" Wan Ruo suddenly changed the topic.
The topic changed so quickly that Si Hongxi was a bit caught off guard. "Ah! I just got a slight injury on my hand. It's nothing serious!"
Sure enough, Wan Ruo saw the bandage on his hand. She grabbed it and sized it up. "How did you hurt your hand? You're so careless!"
Then she gave a heavy thump on his injured palm, which made Si Hongxi caught off guard!
"What are you doing? It hurts so much!" Si Hongxi looked at Wan Ruo in horror. This girl was too dangerous!
Wan Ruo just said indifferently, "Oh, you still have sensation. Your hand isn't useless. It should be okay!"
Si Hongxi: "..."
Mu Qing couldn't stand it anymore. "Miss Ruo Ruo, our prince was just cut by a shard, not chopped off!"
Wan Ruo also said with an embarrassed smile, "Ah, I see. I'm sorry. I misunderstood. Are you okay?"
