Those words he couldn't understand and things he didn't know. Where did Cheng Xiran hear them from? Why did she suddenly change her nature? All these things were like a mystery that tightly surrounded him.
In the South Courtyard, Zhuque and the servants had been busy all night before Cheng Xiran's fever finally subsided. Seeing her fall into a deep sleep, they dared to take a short rest.
When Cheng Xiran woke up, it was already noon the next day. It had rained all day yesterday, and now the sun was shining brightly while the gentle breeze was caressing.
When Zhuque came in with the medicine and saw that Cheng Xiran was awake, she was extremely happy. "Miss, you're finally awake. You really scared me yesterday."
After Cheng Xiran drank the medicine, her head felt like a mess. She didn't remember clearly what had happened last night. She seemed to remember seeing Jiang Yulang. He was soaking wet and crying, asking her to save him. After that, she seemed to feel that someone had been by her side all the time.
"Zhuque, was there someone else here last night?" Cheng Xiran frowned as she tried to recall, but she just couldn't remember who that person was.
Thinking of what had happened last night, Zhuque smiled like a flower. "It was the prince who stayed with you all night yesterday. You kept talking nonsense. Fortunately, the prince was here. Otherwise, I really wouldn't have known what to do."
Talking nonsense? Cheng Xiran felt a bit nervous. "What did I say?"
Zhuque tilted her head and thought for a while. "You seemed to say something about going back to the modern era and something about a mobile phone. Miss, what are these?"
Cheng Xiran felt as if the world was spinning in front of her eyes. She looked at Zhuque in disbelief and asked, "Did I really ask about these things in front of Helian Duo?"
Seeing Zhuque nod her head, Cheng Xiran became even more flustered. But then she thought that Helian Duo didn't know what these things were. Maybe he didn't take them seriously at all. She might as well write these things into "Anecdotes in the Capital" as a plot idea of her own. This would surely dispel Helian Duo's doubts.
While helping her get dressed, Zhuque said, "Miss, it seems that the prince is quite nice to you. You used to like the prince so much. Why don't you give it another try..."
"No. I don't want to have anything to do with him." Cheng Xiran quickly interrupted Zhuque. Being with Helian Duo would be worse than killing her.
"But the prince stayed up all night to take care of you last night. He also punished that Granny Jin. Miss, won't you really think about it again?" Zhuque asked tentatively.
Cheng Xiran shook her head and said, "One thing is one thing. You didn't see how he bullied me. You pack up our things later. We'll go back to the mansion. Don't let others see me in the prince's mansion."
Zhuque responded and went to pack their things. Cheng Xiran stretched her body. She felt that she was almost fully recovered. Since she was leaving, she should at least say goodbye to Helian Duo, lest he hold a grudge against her after she left and come to cause her trouble again.
Cheng Xiran asked the maids all the way and finally found out which courtyard Helian Duo lived in. It was strange, though. As a prince, he wasn't married yet, and there wasn't even a trace of a woman's aura in his courtyard. Moreover, he always hung out with Xue Lianyu.
Could he be gay?
Thinking about it, she walked to the door of his courtyard. Seeing that the door was ajar, she poked her head in through the crack but couldn't see anything. Instead, she heard a series of muffled grunts coming from inside, as if someone was hammering something.
Curiosity got the better of Cheng Xiran, and she walked in to find out what was going on.
