Chapter 279
Zhu Yan also jumped into the carriage and accompanied Yuan Qiu.
The old lady's carriage led the way, followed by the palace's carriage. As soon as she got into the carriage, Zhu Yan hugged Yuan Qiu into her arms domineeringly, wrapped her arms around her back, and ordered: "Teacher Xu lives far away from our palace." It's far away, and there is still a long way to go, so you should sleep first."
"I'm not sleepy!" She struggled to leave his embrace. His embrace was too warm, and she was afraid that she would be so comfortable that she wouldn't want to wake up—in fact, this is not the point. Just throw him down.
"Sleep even if you are not sleepy!" He frowned: "Don't move around!"
Feeling the muscles on his body gradually tense, she knew that she really couldn't move anymore——
The rocking of the carriage really helped to fall asleep. She nestled in his warm embrace and soon fell asleep. In a daze, she felt his thin and cool lips gently kissing her forehead, like a dragonfly touching water, as if she was afraid Disturbed her sweet dreams.
There was a slight smile on her lips, and the dream seemed sweeter.
It was three o'clock when the carriage arrived at Taifu's mansion, and two hours later, it would be dawn.
The old matriarch led Yuan Qiu and Prince Jing into the mansion in a hurry, passed through two entrance halls, and went straight to the backyard. There were servants lighting up lights in the front to guide the way. In addition, the crescent moon was so bright that the night didn't appear to be dark.
There were sharp roars and smashing sounds from a courtyard not far away.
The old matriarch's face became more and more ugly, and there was anxiety in his eyes.
Yuan Qiu asked: "Who is the sick person in the mansion?"
The Taifu pointed to the small courtyard and sighed: "It's the young grandson of the old man. Because he is the youngest child in the house, he is pampered lawlessly and has always acted chaotically. Recently, he often sees no one. The old man is afraid that he will cause trouble outside." , so he sent his father to look for him, but he was found in a place of fireworks, and he was forced to bring him back soon after he fell ill, as if in a maddened state, talking nonsense and incomprehensible words, He wanted to rush out frantically, and hit anyone who stopped him, if I hadn't dodged in time, even my old bones would have almost--" He couldn't continue, just sighed and shook his head.
Such a beast deserves more than death, but after all, it is a fresh life, and it is also the flesh and blood of their Xu family, so they have to do their best no matter what.
While talking, the three of them had already entered the courtyard, and just as they walked outside the hall door, a porcelain pot was thrown from the hall with a whirring sound, and it was about to hit the old lady who was walking in front.
A hand suddenly appeared in front of the old master's forehead, firmly grasping the porcelain pot.
The old matriarch turned blue with anger, and turned to Zhu Yan to apologize: "Your Highness is laughing!"
Zhu Yan was glad that he insisted on following here today, otherwise not only the old matriarch would have an accident, Yuan Qiu might not be spared either, his face remained normal, and he said softly: "It's okay, let's go in." He pulled Yuan Qiu to his side , so as to facilitate close protection, who knows what else will fly from where unexpectedly.
"Get out of here, get out of my way!" A fierce roar came from the hall, accompanied by the sound of broken porcelain.
He was a young man in his early twenties, with disheveled clothes, disheveled hair, pale face, blood-red eyes, and an irritable and violent expression, as if he wanted to tear the person in front of him at any time.
"You bastard, Prince Jing is here, hurry up and salute!" the old matriarch yelled at the young man.
The guards surrounding the young man wanted to kneel when they heard that it was His Highness Prince Jing.
