Prince of Chu
Yu Ruoyan listened outside the door for a long time, but finally couldn't help it. She stood up and quickly pushed open the door, rushed in: "Are you really the son of the King of Chu?"
Yu Ruoyan's sudden appearance made the people in the room stunned for a moment. Xiao Xin looked at Yu Ruoyan with shock on her face, took several steps back in panic, and knocked over the kettle on the table. Hongye felt like she was facing a great enemy, pulled out a short sword from under her seat, blocked Xiao Xin, and stared at Yu Ruoyan with a look of death.
"Who are you? How long have you been eavesdropping on us?" Hongye placed the dagger across his chest, ready to stab him at any time.
Yu Ruoyan shook her head quickly and explained innocently: "Don't get me wrong. I'm not here to cause trouble. I just want to ask, Xiaoxin, are you the prince who is wandering away from the King of Chu?"
Xiaoxin's face was pale, but at this moment, he forced himself to hold back the beating in his heart, took a deep breath, and stood up silently: "That's right, I am indeed the son of the King of Chu."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a plop, and Yu Ruoyan actually knelt on both knees and knelt straight in front of Xiao Xin. Everyone present was stunned and could not believe what was happening in front of him.
"You...you..." Hongye pointed at Yu Ruoyan tremblingly, unable to say a word.
Yu Ruoyan bowed his head respectfully and replied respectfully: "Minister girl Yu Ruoyan, Xiang Ji of the Xiang clan, has been looking for your whereabouts of your prince. He asked from many sources and learned about this, and then came to Fengyi. Unexpectedly, hard work pays off, and the Minister girl finally found you!"
"Xiang clan? What you said is true?" Xiao Xin was overjoyed and hurried forward, feeling excited: "They are all still alive? Is that okay?"
Yu Ruoyan nodded and replied: "Uncle Xiang Liang has been thinking about you. Over the years, he has been secretly asking about your whereabouts in secret, hoping to find you as soon as possible. Now, we have finally found it! The State of Chu is saved!"
Yu Ruoyan was very excited. Xiao Xin was very happy when she heard this. She hurriedly pulled her down and asked about the recent situation of the Xiang clan.
Qi Lan's brain, which had been blank, finally found some clues at this moment.
What Xiao Yuer said before was actually looking for someone was the prince left by the Chu State among the people. The reason why they appeared in Fengyi and came to Nuanxiang Pavilion was to inquire about the whereabouts of the prince of Chu State.
Thinking of this, Qi Lan couldn't help but look at Xiao Xin again from top to bottom - her manners were dignified and generous, and her conversation was not lost. Although her clothes were a little old, she could still feel the aristocratic temperament that he exuded.
This is the Chu royal family? The new King of Chu that God Xiang Yu wants to protect?
Qi Lan carefully recalled the historical records about him in her mind, but it was still empty. Qi Lan didn't know much about the King of Chu, but she vaguely remembered that his ending did not seem to be very good.
He looked only a teenager, but his face showed a vicissitudes and stability that were not in line with his age. In the troubled times, the so-called descendants of the royal family were nothing but a false name, and the benefits brought to him were not good except for endless escape and disasters.
However, even if it is difficult, this cannot be a reason for them to abandon their children. The child named Xin'er is so young and just wandering away like this. Who knows what unexpected happens?
Qi Lan suppressed the sympathy in her heart, walked to Hongye, and said straight to the point: "Since God Xiang Yu has found you, I think you don't have to continue working in Nuanxiang Pavilion. You should take that child back-"
"Xin'er, I'll still find a family to send him out..." Hongye interrupted Qi Lan's words: "The way we will take in the future will be a hundred times more dangerous than now. Xin'er is too small, and following us will only be a burden..."
When Qi Lan heard this, she couldn't help but feel angry and asked excitedly: "He is your son!"
"So what?" Hongye was also excited, and her trembling body exposed her mood at this moment: "Are you willing to watch your son get involved in troubled times and become a pawn? If the restoration fails, have you ever thought about what ending will be waiting for him?"
A series of questions made Qi Lan feel silent and could not think of any refutation. In the troubled times, everyone was in danger. Those moral codes that seemed the simplest in normal times seemed out of place at this moment. It seemed that only living is the most important thing...
The house fell into silence, and no one spoke. The subtle sobs of the red leaves seemed particularly loud in the house, and the slightly swaying back seemed so helpless and sad. Qi Lan stood beside her hands, a little helpless.
Yu Ruoyan got up, walked over, and gently patted Qi Lan on the shoulder. She shook her head quietly, signaling Qi Lan not to mention this matter for now. Qi Lan understood and walked away silently.
Xiaoxin poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to Hongye. Hongye Qianen thanked her for taking the tea cup and retreated aside with red eyes.
Xiaoxin smiled apologetically at Qi Lan: "I know that the girl is kind-hearted and can't bear to suffer when she sees her heart. But if we want to get back to Chu, we face too many difficulties. If we are not careful, we will never be able to recover. My heart is just a child, and we can't bear it. Maybe he can live his life with peace of mind without us."
Qi Lan didn't say anything anymore. Yu Ruoyan coughed lightly and pretended to change the topic lightly: "That--the child's matter, let's discuss it later. Anyway, Brother Xiang and the Third Young Master will meet Mr. Gu Yue here. Let's wait for them to come back and discuss together, how about it?"
Xiao Xin's face changed when she heard this: "Young Master Gu Yue?"
Yu Ruoyan nodded: "Yes, I heard that he is the head of Nuanxiang Pavilion, he is a very mysterious and weird person. Have you ever seen him?"
Xiaoxin's face looked ugly. He paced back and forth in the room, with a heavy face: "Although Mr. Gu Yue is named the owner of Nuanxiang Pavilion, he has not actually managed Nuanxiang Pavilion for a long time."
"A few months ago, the former Nuanxiang Pavilion Master died suddenly. This Gu Yue Gongzi bought Nuanxiang Pavilion at a high price. He almost never appeared here. However, since he bought Nuanxiang Pavilion, there have been many more customers here, coming and going, and his identity seems to be very difficult. I guess, this Gu Yue Gongzi must be a very knowledgeable person."
Qi Lan nodded in agreement and thought to herself: I also think that this young master Gu Yue is not simple...
Outside the door, the black corner of the clothes flashed, and a slight rustling sound gradually faded away. Since Qi Lan learned martial arts with Han Xin, her vigilance has increased a lot. This small sound could not escape her ears. Qi Lan was alert all over and ran to the window and pushed open it.
