Isn't this change a bit too sudden?
"Your Highness, why are you here? Weren't you just talking to the prince?"
"I didn't come to the prince's mansion to see Prince Helan. Don't you know why I'm here?"
Dongfang Yuan looked at Feng Yunshu with a hurt expression. "What did you call me? Your Highness? You used to call me Brother Yuan. You're still blaming me..."
As he spoke, Dongfang Yuan took a step forward. Feng Yunshu subconsciously took a small step back and looked at him warily.
However, her subconscious retreat made Dongfang Yuan's expression even more dejected.
"Do you really have to be so distant from me, Yunshu?"
Facing the aggressive approach of the third prince, Feng Yunshu was really a bit confused. What was going on? He seemed to have come prepared and was very aggressive.
"Your Highness, this is the prince's mansion. Now that I'm the Princess of Helan, no matter what happened in the past, I should keep a distance from you and other men in the future."
"Hehe, in front of me, Yunshu, why do you have to pretend like this? Others may not know, but don't I understand you? You have no feelings for this Prince Helan at all. You only have me in your heart, don't you?"
The more Feng Yunshu listened, the more her scalp tingled. The third prince was actually telling the truth... Wouldn't Prince Helan have a green cloud over his head?
Feng Yunshu didn't want to waste time and was afraid that there were too many people around. She wanted to get straight to the point quickly, but who knew that the third prince just rambled on and on without giving her a chance to say a word.
Just as she was thinking, Dongfang Yuan suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Feng Yunshu's wrist. Feng Yunshu was startled and slapped his hand away in horror, then took several steps back.
"Your Highness, what are you doing? Let's talk properly. Please behave yourself in broad daylight!"
"Yunshu, the situation is special now. I haven't found a chance to ask Father Emperor to arrange a marriage for us. But don't worry, as soon as the time is right, I'll definitely ask Father Emperor to do so immediately!"
He's crazy! This third prince has such a deep obsession? "Your Highness, please calm down first. Can you listen to me for a while?"
After all, this was the prince's mansion, and it was not convenient to talk. Feng Yunshu was worried that someone might overhear and the plan might be leaked. So she proposed to see the third prince out of the mansion. They left the Helan Prince's Mansion one after another.
As soon as Feng Yunshu left, there was another rustling sound from the big tree where she had just been. A black shadow leaped out of the tree and appeared in the study of the prince's mansion.
In the study, Helan Yanting was standing in front of the desk, concentrating on practicing calligraphy with a brush.
"Master, just now this subordinate saw the princess sitting under the tree. It seemed that she was waiting for the third prince on purpose. Their words were very intimate. After a while, the princess excused herself to see the prince out of the mansion, and they left the mansion one after another."
Helan Yanting listened while his writing continued smoothly. His face remained calm.
After finishing the last stroke, Helan Yanting slowly placed the brush on the pen rack beside.
"Okay, keep an eye on her. Report every detail to me."
Helan Yanting sat down on the chair and subconsciously rubbed the ring on his finger. His eyes were extremely cold and deep.
Yan Liu nodded in agreement, then frowned and couldn't help but speak.
"Master, this princess's words and deeds are very strange, and she is also involved with the third prince. Although you don't care about her, she is still your princess in name. If others know about this, your reputation..."
Helan Yanting slowly raised his eyes and glanced at Yan Liu. "I think you've been too idle recently. Then go immediately to meet our people there."
Yan Liu quickly knelt down. "Master, please forgive me! It was this subordinate who talked too much!"
"Go down. I have my own plans. Talk less and do more."
"Yes, Master! This subordinate will follow your instructions!"
Yan Liu quickly left the study. Only Helan Yanting and Yan Qi, who was waiting beside, were left in the study.
Yan Qi watched Yan Liu leave. After hesitating for a long time, he couldn't help but speak. "Master, this subordinate thinks that what Yan Liu said is not without reason. You've been biding your time in the Dan Kingdom for many years, just waiting for the best opportunity. The appearance of this woman will definitely affect your plan. What if she has other motives? Isn't it very dangerous?"
Helan Yanting turned to look at Yan Qi. "What, do you also want to go there to meet our people?"
Yan Qi shivered and quickly shook his head. "Master, please forgive me! It was Yan Qi who said the wrong thing!"
Helan Yanting withdrew his gaze and looked down at the words he had just written on the table. His eyes always stayed on one character and didn't move for a long time.
"Yan Qi, do you think she's cuckolding me?"
Yan Qi hesitated. "This... Master must have his own idea. This subordinate doesn't dare to make a random judgment."
"Hehe, she's really capable."
...
"Achoo!"
Just as she walked onto the long path outside, Feng Yunshu sneezed loudly.
Who's talking about me? Are they scolding me?
At this time, Dongfang Yuan, who was walking in front, took off his cloak and came forward to put it on Feng Yunshu.
"The wind is strong and it's cold. You're wearing so thinly. Be careful not to catch a cold."
Feng Yunshu immediately took a step back to avoid him. "Your Highness, I'm fine. It's just that my nose suddenly itched."
Dongfang Yuan's eyes darkened slightly, and he took back the cloak. "Do you really have to be so distant from me?"
"Your Highness, there are some things that Yunshu must make clear today."
"Okay, go ahead."
"After all, the past is over. Now I've married Prince Helan and become the Princess of Helan. I hope Your Highness understands this. After all, men and women should keep a distance, especially since I'm already a married woman."
At this moment, Feng Yunshu's inner thought: These ancient people really talk too much! They always have to be so verbose.
If it were in the past, she would definitely just retort directly: Can you please be sober? Don't provoke a married woman, okay? Have some moral integrity!
"Yunshu, I know you're still blaming me for not proposing to Father Emperor to marry you earlier, right?"
Dongfang Yuan's tone was a bit urgent. As he spoke, he was about to reach out to touch Feng Yunshu's shoulder again. Feng Yunshu took a step back and immediately waved her hand to stop him. "Hey, Your Highness, let's talk properly."
"To be honest, Yunshu really has something to ask Your Highness for help today."
Feng Yunshu thought that if they kept talking like this, it would be like walking in a maze and they would never get out. She had to get straight to the point quickly.
"Yunshu, what do you need me to do? Just tell me. As long as I can do it, I'll definitely try my best to help you!"
"Well... this favor may be a bit too difficult for you, but I really can't think of anyone else to ask for help..."
"Yunshu, why are you being so polite to me? Just tell me directly."
"Okay, then I'll say it!"
Feng Yunshu was secretly happy. This was exactly what she was waiting for.
Anyway, this third prince probably didn't really love the original owner. If he really loved her, how could he watch the original owner being poisoned and being arranged to marry Helan Yanting without doing anything?
Since the original owner also had grievances against him, it wouldn't be against her conscience to use this third prince.
"Your Highness, didn't the envoy from the Dan Kingdom present a humanoid spiritual beast to the emperor last night? To be honest, I've been framed and poisoned, and the poison has already penetrated deep into my bones. I've heard that the blood of the spiritual beast can cure all diseases, so..."
