The afterglow of the setting sun fell on him, coating his entire body with a layer of golden light, making his eyebrows and eyes bathed in the golden light as bright as a jade mountain and as clear as a god.
His deep eyes were looking in a certain direction at this moment.
Through the half-open window, the girl's face was slightly flushed, and she was concentrating on eating.
The setting sun came in through the window, and the man standing not far from her was visible in the rosy glow, staring quietly at Lin Shuning's eyes, which were clear, bright, and sparkling, as smooth as jade and as deep as water.
Gu Wen.
Jiang Yu's eyes were dark and deep, filled with the coldness and light of a cold pond.
He had just reported back from the palace and had not even returned to Prince Rui's Palace, but he could not wait to find this place through Ye Mu, and ended up seeing this scene.
Originally, she was very angry when she learned from Ye Mu that the Queen asked Lin Shuning to attend the "Concubine Selection Banquet" she hosted during the time when he was away from the capital.
When she heard that Gu Wen was behind what happened in the Shangshu Mansion during this period, she became even more angry, but at the same time she felt sorry for her and was glad that someone could help her.
For a moment, he couldn't tell whether he was angry with himself or with Gu Wen.
He thought that before leaving Beijing, it would be enough to take away Lin Shuning's banknotes and let her stay in the capital, but he forgot.
She is such a dazzling and amazing woman. As long as she exists, everything she expresses casually is an irresistible attraction to some people.
Jiang Yu tightened his cheeks and took advantage of the fact that there was no one on the street to quickly walk into the clinic.
Lin Shuning heard the voice and looked up. The moment she met those deep dark eyes, she was suddenly stunned, then her eyes widened in surprise. She didn't even care about her favorite food, she threw down her chopsticks and ran towards him.
"Your Highness Prince Rui, you're back?!"
Lin Shuning grabbed his sleeve excitedly, resisting the urge to hug him: "Why did you come back so soon? Didn't you say you would never come back?"
Jiang Yu looked at the excited expression on her little face and felt very happy. He smiled happily, "Father has something for me to do, so I came back."
"That's great, that's great," Lin Shuning's eyes were red with excitement, "My..."
She paused, and suddenly remembered that Gu Wen was still here. If she told him directly that the 1,000 taels of silver notes were in Prince Rui's mansion, it might arouse his suspicion, so she said tactfully: "You're back just in time. I have something else to tell you, but now is not the time. I'll tell you when I have time."
Jiang Yu already knew what she was thinking, and he responded softly, his eyes intentionally or unintentionally sweeping over Gu Wen who was standing beside her.
"Your humble servant greets His Royal Highness Prince Rui." Gu Wen said calmly.
His body was stiff.
The moment he saw Lin Shuning looking at Jiang Yu.
At that moment, her eyes were full of brilliance, as if all the flowers all over the mountains had bloomed in an instant.
The flower blossomed before his eyes, incredibly beautiful, yet so far away that he could not capture it.
A bitter feeling welled up in Gu Wen's heart. He pursed his lips and mechanically and respectfully saluted Jiang Yu.
"No need to be polite," Jiang Yu said in a slightly cold voice, "Why is Lord Gu here?"
Gu Wen was neither humble nor arrogant, and he bowed and said, "Just like Miss Lin, I work in this clinic in my spare time. I never thought that I would meet His Royal Highness Prince Rui here."
What I meant was, you are a prince, you have all the medicine you need, why did you have to come to this clinic?
"work?"
The corners of Jiang Yu's lips curled up. It seemed that he didn't know yet that this clinic was actually opened by Lin Shuning.
Thinking of this, he smiled with joy, as if he had won after all.
He spoke indifferently, ignoring Gu Wen's hidden meaning. His deep-sea eyes were cold and glittering. "As the Junior Official of the Dali Temple, you have to work in a clinic. It seems that the monthly salary is too little. When I have time, I will have a good talk with my father."
Gu Wen smiled stiffly: "My salary is the same as other officials, it's just that my family is different. Your Highness Prince Rui knows this, so why make fun of me?"
Jiang Yu wanted to say more, but Lin Shuning pulled his sleeve. She frowned slightly and signaled him to stop talking.
Jiang Yu was stunned. She was actually protecting Gu Wen?
How many days have they known each other?
Lin Shuning saw the slightly frowned look between his brows and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "He works in my clinic, which is a good thing for the clinic. Besides, he has a seriously ill mother to take care of at home. It is very hard for him to support the whole family by himself!"
"I..." Jiang Yu was about to explain, but suddenly choked.
Lin Shuning raised his chin with an expression that said, "Even if you are not convinced, what can you do to me?"
He took a deep breath, laughed helplessly, and obediently did not respond.
Gu Wen had been watching their interaction.
Although I don't know what they said, I can tell how familiar the two are with each other from their expressions and body language.
He tried to hold back again and again, but finally couldn't hold back any more and asked, "Your Highness Prince Rui is very familiar with Miss Lin?"
"Very familiar."
"Unfamiliar."
The two said in unison.
Jiang Yu lowered his eyes to look at her, Lin Shuning blinked back at him, signaling with her eyes that he should stop talking nonsense.
Although Gu Wen is a good person, people can change. No one knows whether a former companion will become a sword that stabs oneself under the drive and temptation of interests.
She hoped that some things were secrets between her and Jiang Yu.
"I was assassinated before, but was fortunately saved by His Royal Highness Prince Rui, so I got to know him," Lin Shuning laughed, "I don't dare to be related to His Royal Highness Prince Rui."
"So that's how it is." Gu Wen smiled faintly, but his heart slowly sank.
He has always been very attentive, so how could he not notice the unusual atmosphere and relationship between these two people.
One is infinitely indulgent, the other is content with his guilt.
But he is not someone who gives up easily. As long as things are not set in stone, there is still room for change.
He smiled and looked at Jiang Yu: "Prince Rui, you are here to buy medicine? What do you need? I will get it for you right away."
After taking it, he would have no reason to stay here.
"Miss San knows what medicine I take." Jiang Yu met his gaze, his tone leisurely and half-smiled.
