Yu Guiwan's expression froze visibly.

She looked at Xie Sui and spoke after a long while: "I know my limits."

"But Your Highness, what are you doing now?" Yu Guiwan raised an eyebrow at him and glanced at his hand pinching his chin.

"Besides, I have no obligation to report what I have done to Your Highness, right?" Her tone was a little distant.

Xie Sui hesitated for a moment and then let go of his hand.

He lowered his eyes, a hint of imperceptible disappointment flashing across his face.

Along the way, the two of them were silent, and they didn't speak until they returned to Prince Chen's Mansion.

The two walked into Prince Chen's Mansion one after the other. Furong had been waiting for Yu Guiwan to come back, but she didn't expect to see Yu Guiwan with a disheveled look on his face.

"Princess, what's wrong with you?"

Furong frowned and went forward to meet him.

"It's okay," she said.

As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Guiwan sneezed.

Xie Sui, who was walking behind, couldn't help but pinch her brows when she heard the noise. She was so angry that she almost forgot that she was still wearing wet clothes.

He whispered to Bei Chu, "Ask the kitchen to prepare some ginger soup and send it to the princess."

After saying that, Xie Sui turned around and went to the study.

As soon as he entered the study, Wei Heng was already waiting for Xie Sui inside.

"How's the investigation going?" Xie Sui sat down and asked Wei Heng.

"Those lists are indeed true, they are all Xie Yunqi's people."

Wei Heng placed a few names in front of Xie Sui. These names were given to Xie Sui by Yu Guiwan after he returned from the Yu Mansion.

After saying that, Wei Heng put three more names in front of Xie Sui, but hesitated to speak: "These three people are indeed useful, but..."

Xie Sui tapped the tabletop lightly with his fingertips and said without hesitation, "These few people can be used."

Hearing this, Wei Heng couldn't help but frown. "She was Xie Yunqi's fiancée before, and you still haven't gained her trust completely. Do you really trust her that much?"

Wei Heng's words pierced Xie Sui's chest, making his expression even darker.

"There's nothing wrong with these lists. Just follow the plan." Xie Sui closed his eyes, not intending to argue with Wei Heng anymore.

"Yes." Wei Heng said helplessly.

"If Xie Yunqi's people refuse to confess."

"kill."

……

Xie Sui didn't show up until dinner time. Yu Guiwan couldn't help but ask, "Where's His Highness?"

The maidservant beside her stepped forward and replied, "The prince said that you, the princess, can have your meal first and don't have to wait for him."

Yu Guiwan nodded and started eating.

When Yu Guiwan returned to the house, she still didn't see Xie Sui, which she thought was very abnormal.

Is he angry?

She thought to herself, then shook her head, denying the idea.

Yu Guiwan still planned to send someone to ask Xie Sui what was going on. Could something have happened?

Just as the words came to his lips, Xie Sui walked in from outside. He walked towards the couch as usual, but was stopped by Yu Guiwan.

"You'd better sleep in bed. Wei Heng has already told me that you can't catch a cold."

Xie Sui unusually did not refute this time, and turned around to lie down on the bed.

Seeing this, Yu Guiwan finally felt relieved and moved to the couch. This couch was suitable for her, but it was not comfortable for Xie Sui, who was over 1.8 meters tall.

Yu Guiwan frowned.

She didn't even dare to think about how Xie Sui had managed to sleep these past few days.

She couldn't help but think of what Xie Sui had done for her in the past few days, and wondered if what she said in the carriage today was a bit too cold.

She tossed and turned until dawn when she finally took a short nap.

When I woke up the next day, I had two dark circles under my eyes.

"Cover my dark circles."

In the morning, when Furong was putting makeup on her, she gave him a special instruction.

Furong teased, "Princess, did you steal cattle last night?"

Having not slept well last night, Yu Guiwan felt listless at the meeting and was too lazy to speak.

"Princess, here is a letter for you." Fuqiu walked in from outside with a letter in her hand.

Yu Guiwan saw a plum blossom pattern on the envelope, and her eyes lit up immediately, "Quick! Give it to me!"

After opening the letter, she saw that it was indeed her master who had arrived and was waiting for her at the Yunlai Inn.

"Furong, hurry up and help me get dressed. I'm going out of the house soon."

Yu Guiwan thought, bringing his master here to treat Xie Sui should be considered an apology, right?

*

Xie Sui was waiting for Yu Guiwan to have breakfast in the front hall, but he didn't see Yu Guiwan for a long time. He specially asked someone to go out and buy wontons from the restaurant she usually liked to eat this morning.

After a long time, the wontons became cold.

There was no sign of Yu Guiwan at all.

Wei Heng came to check his pulse early in the morning like he usually did. When he saw the two bowls of wontons on the table, his eyes lit up. "You still have some conscience. You know I like wontons."

As Wei Heng sat down and prepared to eat, Xie Sui ruthlessly moved the wontons in front of him.

"Not for you."

Xie Sui glanced at Wei Heng with disdain.

Wei Heng immediately understood what he meant, scoffed, and shrugged nonchalantly, "The one you're thinking about has already left."

Wei Heng was so angry that he said, "You are still waiting here."

Xie Sui stood up suddenly, which scared Wei Heng. He thought Xie Sui was going to hit him.

Xie Sui was seen walking out with two bowls of wontons, and then his gloomy and unhappy voice came:

"I wouldn't even feed it to a dog."

Wei Heng: “…”

A guy who forgets his friends after seeing sex!

……

When Yu Guiwan arrived, the outside of the Yunlai Inn was already packed with people. Judging from their clothes, they were either rich or noble. Behind each of them were maids and servants carrying many gifts.

As soon as Yu Guiwan arrived, he immediately attracted a lot of attention. Most of the people present had seen Yu Guiwan before.

"Princess Chen is here too. It seems she has also received the news that Master Chu Yue has returned to the capital."

"Yes, His Royal Highness Prince Chen's body is in such bad shape that Master Chu Yue should be asked to take a look."

In just a few words, Yu Guiwan understood why the place was surrounded by people.

Master has always been low-key, how come he received the news when he returned to Beijing this time?

Yu Guiwan wanted to move forward, but there were too many people.

"May I borrow your hand for a moment?" Yu Guiwan had no choice but to ask the person in front of him.

"No." The person in front of him refused coldly.

Then she spoke in a sarcastic tone, "We've all been waiting here for a long time. Just because you're Princess Chen, shouldn't that mean you should give way to us?"

"You should know that not everyone can invite Master Chu Yue. Look at her, she comes here empty-handed." Someone in the crowd said, and now everyone's eyes were focused on Yu Guiwan.

Fuqiu stamped her feet, unable to bear it any longer, and said, "Our princess knows Master Chu Yue, and they specially arranged to meet here today!"
