Mu Fengqie returned with the boiled medicine and saw Yuan Yuhan standing there in a daze, staring at the bed. She was so startled that she almost dropped the medicine in her hand.
"Is he okay?" Mu Fengqie asked with concern.
Yuan Yuhan came back to his senses upon hearing her voice. His eyes were a bit unfocused as he replied, "He's fine. This kid is so lucky that even Lord Yama dares not take him."
"That's good. Leave the Fifth Prince to me. You must be tired. Go back and rest quickly," Mu Fengqie said, casting a grateful look at Yuan Yuhan.
"Was it you who brought the Princess of Tianlin back? She..." Yuan Yuhan wanted to ask something but didn't know how to put it.
Just thinking about A Ru made him recall the kiss he had witnessed earlier. His face turned red in a rather embarrassing way.
Mu Fengqie's heart skipped a beat. She had been so focused on Jing Xunche that she had completely forgotten about A Ru. Hadn't it just been Yuan Yuhan and A Ru alone in the room after she left?
Mu Fengqie had been reluctant to reveal A Ru's true identity to others. After all, they were not in Tianlin but in the Qin Dynasty. If someone with ill intentions found out A Ru's true identity, it would be a huge problem.
But Yuan Yuhan already knew A Ru's true identity. A Ru had promised her that she wouldn't talk nonsense. Had A Ru caused some trouble again?
"Um... I guarantee that she has no ill intentions coming to the Qin Dynasty. She just wants to have some fun. I'll keep an eye on her. Could you please keep this secret for me, Fifth Prince?" Mu Fengqie asked tentatively.
Yuan Yuhan still had some doubts in his heart. "You actually know the Princess of Tianlin. Who exactly are you?"
"You just need to know that I'm from the Qin Dynasty and I won't do anything to betray the Qin Dynasty. I'd rather not say more about other things. In short, I'm not a threat to the Qin Dynasty," Mu Fengqie said softly, her thin lips barely moving.
Yuan Yuhan knew that Mu Fengqie had her own secrets. Since she didn't want to talk about it, he didn't want to press further. He only knew that Mu Fengqie was pregnant and still running around for the Qin Dynasty.
As for that little princess, that silly girl, she was actually quite cute. He'd have to get along well with her in the future.
A Ru felt really bored after staying in the room for a while. This was her first time in the Qin Dynasty. Mu Fengqie was busy taking care of Jing Xunche and probably didn't have time to watch over her. Why not take this opportunity to go out and have a look?
Once she had this idea, A Ru quickly put it into action. She quietly opened the door, looked around carefully, and then slipped out of the room contentedly.
Not many people in the Prefect's Mansion knew her. It wasn't like in Tianlin where all the palace servants recognized her. So, in the Prefect's Mansion, A Ru was just an ordinary, unremarkable person.
She happily walked to the gate of the Prefect's Mansion. Just as she was about to sneak out, the moment she opened the door and rushed out, she bumped into something solid. The pain made her gasp. She almost swore out loud.
Rubbing her sore nose, A Ru looked up at the person in front of her. That person was also sizing her up with the same look in his eyes.
"Where did this blind servant come from? Don't you know that this Crown Prince is here?" Yuan Yuchuan said discontentedly.
Yuan Yuchuan had been in the Prefect's Mansion for less than a day and hadn't seen A Ru before. But when he saw her, he was stunned. Although A Ru wasn't the most beautiful woman in the world, she had a delicate and lovely appearance, looking innocent and cute. It was quite rare for a little girl to look like this.
A Ru was extremely angry. Why were all the princes in the Qin Dynasty the same? The satin on her clothes was the finest Shu brocade. How could a servant girl afford such a thing?
Moreover, she was so cute. Were the princes in the Qin Dynasty all blind? This was unbearable. She, A Ru, wasn't a soft target to be bullied!
"So what if you're the Crown Prince? Does everyone have to be your slave? Move aside. Don't block my way!" A Ru glared at Yuan Yuchuan fiercely and said without any politeness.
She clearly saw the blatant look in Yuan Yuchuan's eyes when he looked at her. She was already used to this kind of look in Tianlin, so she didn't intend to pay any attention to Yuan Yuchuan.
Yuan Yuchuan never expected to be ignored by A Ru. Usually, women would throw themselves at him when they saw him. This little girl was really interesting.
A Ru inadvertently piqued Yuan Yuchuan's interest. Naturally, he wouldn't let this opportunity slip by. He stepped aside and blocked A Ru's view, towering over her.
A Ru looked up suspiciously and asked in confusion, "Why are you blocking my way? A good dog doesn't block the way. Don't force me to beat you up!"
A Ru had learned some basic martial arts in the palace. She never thought about whether the man in front of her was highly skilled in martial arts or not. In short, she just didn't like Yuan Yuchuan. He was even more annoying than that lecher.
Thinking of this, A Ru shook her head vigorously, trying to get rid of that terrible image in her mind. Why was she thinking about that lecher for no reason?
Yuan Yuchuan looked at the feisty little rabbit in front of him and showed a charming smile. "Where are you going? Come to my room tonight, okay?"
The more he looked at A Ru, the more he found her cute. He liked her feisty personality. She was much better than the shrew in his house.
A Ru was already of marriageable age. She naturally understood what Yuan Yuchuan meant. She immediately snorted and looked at Yuan Yuchuan with contempt in her eyes.
A man like him wasn't even worthy of tying her shoes. He really thought too highly of himself. She, the most beloved princess of Tianlin, had rejected so many countries' proposals for marriage. Would she be afraid of the Qin Dynasty?
Just as A Ru was about to reveal her identity in front of Yuan Yuchuan, a sudden voice interrupted her.
"Brother, have you forgotten what kind of temper the Crown Princess has? So many beautiful women in your mansion have been sent away by the Crown Princess. Do you still want to take this girl into the Crown Prince's Mansion? Do you think she can enter the mansion with the Crown Princess around?" Yuan Yuhan mercilessly mocked Yuan Yuchuan.
Lou Yueying had a fiery and ruthless personality. There used to be many beautiful concubines in the Crown Prince's Mansion, but no one knew how many of them had died at her hands.
Although Lou Yueying didn't like Yuan Yuchuan, she had a strong sense of control and possessiveness. She didn't like having so many women in the mansion. Since she had become the Crown Princess, there shouldn't be any other women in the mansion.
Upon hearing this, Yuan Yuchuan's expression changed slightly. After marrying Lou Yueying, he had almost become a laughingstock in the imperial city. People said that the great Crown Prince was actually henpecked.
