The sun was setting in the west.
Ning Yuwan and Yan Zhao returned to the Prince's Mansion.
As soon as they reached the gate, they saw Mama Wang leading Steward Zhou waiting eagerly.
"The Princess has returned!"
Mama Wang stepped forward with a beaming smile. "How was your trip?"
Lotus Leaf whispered to her what had happened that day. Then Mama Wang rolled up her sleeves, her eyes glaring angrily. "If I had known the Princess would encounter such a filthy thing, I should have gone with you and torn that woman's mouth apart!"
She was referring to the delusional Ning Yuqin!
That woman was so dirty and still dared to throw herself at the Prince.
She had someone bring a brazier and broke a willow branch to sprinkle water. Then she said, "Zhao'er, quickly lead the Princess to step over the brazier to get rid of the bad luck on her body!"
Yan Zhao reached out his hand, intending to support Ning Yuwan.
Unexpectedly, the latter looked straight ahead and casually stepped over the brazier.
Lotus Leaf and Lotus Seed saw the Prince's out - of - reach gesture. They glanced at each other. Was the Princess still angry?
They both curtsied briefly and followed Ning Yuwan away.
"Zhao'er, haven't you managed to appease the Princess yet?"
Mama Wang showed a look of disappointment again. "Oh, why are you so dull!"
Yan Zhao, who was usually only feared and awed by others, silently comforted himself: Elders come first! Bear with it one more time!
Fortunately, Mama Wang only scolded him about this one thing. Seeing his face turn slightly grim, she stopped in time.
Just as she was about to leave, she heard Yan Zhao ask, "Mama Wang, if Uncle Zhou meets another woman and you see it, what will you do?"
"I'll tear them both apart!" Mama Wang stared at Yan Zhao suspiciously. "Why do you suddenly ask this question?"
Yan Zhao shifted the blame without a hint of guilt. "A Si asked me to inquire."
"But isn't A Si in Jiangxi?"
"Before he left."
Mama Wang mumbled, "Why is that boy A Si suddenly curious about the matter between me and Old Zhou?"
"What if that other woman is Uncle Zhou's relative? What will you do then?"
Yan Zhao asked again. Behind him, A San also quietly pricked up his ears. When did A Si ever ask such a question?
"If she's really his relative, I'll let him off."
Suddenly, Mama Wang was stunned. Then she realized. "Could it be that A Si saw Old Zhou having an affair outside?"
After saying that, without waiting for Yan Zhao's reply, she rushed towards Steward Zhou in a hurry, grabbed him, and dragged him into the house.
Yan Zhao: "..."
It seemed that his example wasn't quite appropriate.
A San, who had heard most of the conversation, understood while holding his sword. "Is this the reason why the Princess is angry with the Prince?"
Yan Zhao exuded a cold aura. "Mind your own business!"
"I have a solution!"
A San stroked the sword in his hand. "It's just that I'm a bit short of money recently and can't afford a new sword!"
He was a sword enthusiast. When he had no missions, his favorite thing was to collect new swords.
This was taking advantage of the situation!
Yan Zhao gritted his teeth. "You'd better really have a solution! Otherwise, I'll melt down all your broken swords!"
A San raised his head proudly. "I have experience!"
Where did he get his experience?
Yan Zhao looked at him suspiciously. All his subordinates were single.
They had never even held a woman's hand. Where could A San have gotten his experience?
On this point, the Prince could boast in his heart. Since he met Wanwan, he had not only held her hand but also received a kiss from the beauty.
Seeing that Yan Zhao didn't believe him, A San added, "I have a lot of experience!"
The faint wavering in Yan Zhao's heart disappeared completely!
"I don't believe you!"
"First, I'll provide the solution. If it works well for the Prince, then buy me a new sword!"
A San made a concession. "Trust me just this once, Prince!"
Perhaps because A San sounded so righteous, Yan Zhao finally believed him.
A San's method was actually very simple. He was sure that the Princess was obviously jealous.
If, as the Prince said, the woman he met was a relative, he just needed to bring that woman in front of the Princess and explain everything.
Of course, A San's experience came entirely from the guilt he felt towards his old swords every time he bought a new one.
So he always brought the new sword in front of the old one and explained: In fact, he loved them all!
It would have been better if he hadn't mentioned his experience.
After he finished sharing his experience, Yan Zhao's face darkened. His subordinates were really a bit strange!
At this moment, A Si, who was still on his way to the coal mine in Jiangxi, suddenly sneezed.
He rubbed his nose and murmured, "Could it be that the Prince is thinking of me? If there were an order to let me go back, that would be great!"
On the way back to the bridal chamber, Yan Zhao had already accepted A San's method in his heart.
However, when it came to Pei Yunlu, he didn't want to take risks.
He had always known that there were secret agents of the Emperor Chu among the concubines in the side courtyard.
So he had never slackened his vigilance and had never gone to see those women.
When he met Pei Yunlu, he had made all kinds of preparations in advance, and had also ordered many secret guards to monitor the surroundings to ensure everything was foolproof.
He didn't plan to bring Pei Yunlu back to the mansion to explain to Wanwan.
But he didn't want to drag it out and let Ning Yuwan keep imagining things.
While Yan Zhao was struggling, Ning Yuwan was feeling puzzled.
At this moment, she was lying on the bed pretending to be asleep, closing her eyes and feeling the changes in the spiritual energy in her body.
Yan Zhao had attacked her secretly in the Yongning Marquis Mansion today. At that time, she hadn't paid much attention because she was angry.
Now she finally had the time to feel the recovery of the spiritual energy in her body.
Sure enough, the completely depleted spiritual energy was gradually being repaired. If Yan Zhao was really this useful, given time, she might not have to refine the soul body of the original owner.
She exhaled a mouthful of turbid air, feeling a stuffy discomfort in her chest.
If Yan Zhao and Pei Yunlu weren't lovers, she would still monopolize him.
But now, even though she was reluctant, she still wanted to follow the human rules and find an opportunity to divorce this troublesome Prince.
She thought that her hesitation and reluctance were only because of Yan Zhao's good looks.
She didn't know that it was because she had gradually been infected with human emotions!
Her affection for Yan Zhao was not just because of his physical temptation.
At night, Yan Zhao finally returned to the bridal chamber.
Fortunately, Lotus Leaf and Lotus Seed were sensible enough not to block the door today and had hidden away early.
Otherwise, Yan Zhao would have definitely asked A San to knock them out.
He knocked on the door for a long time but received no response.
After pushing the door open, he found that Ning Yuwan was already fast asleep.
Her usually gorgeous and domineering face was faintly sweet and docile.
"Heartless wife!"
Yan Zhao murmured softly. He had been restless, but Wanwan was sleeping soundly!
He specifically waited until his hands were warm before reaching out to hold Ning Yuwan's hand.
Throughout the whole day, only at this moment could he hold Wanwan's hand without being rejected.
In her sleep, Ning Yuwan slowly moved closer to Yan Zhao following the heat source, and her nose involuntarily traced the scent on his body.
The faint fragrance on his body tempted her even in her dreams.
This small move ignited the fire in Yan Zhao's eyes. He lowered his head, and his lips and tongue traced Ning Yuwan's red lips.
He didn't move away for a long time.
It was not until Ning Yuwan had difficulty breathing, frowned with her eyes closed, and impatiently pushed Yan Zhao with her slender and fair fingers that he stopped. He tapped Ning Yuwan's nose and smiled bitterly. "I'll let you off today. You must make it up to me another day, Wanwan!"
But Ning Yuwan was asleep and wouldn't respond to him at all!
Yan Zhao made the decision on his own. "I'll take it that you've agreed!"
The red candle burned slowly. The beautiful couple on the bed embraced each other and fell asleep.
They were like the most beautiful scenery in the world, arousing people's envy and admiration.
