Fuqiu hurried into the house and only spoke after confirming that Xie Sui was nowhere to be found. "Princess, just now, when I was outside the mansion, a little beggar gave this to me."

Fuqiu carefully took out the letter from her sleeve and handed it to Yu Guiwan.

When Yu Guiwan saw the cover of the letter, she knew who sent it. She opened the letter and saw a few lines of words written on it.

Gui Wan, I was wrong about what happened in the past. I can't forget you, and I know you can't forget me either. Can we talk it out face to face at Mingyue Tower tomorrow at noon? I'll wait for you.

The words are written by Xie Yunqi.

The moment she finished reading, she clutched the letter in her hand and began to retch uncontrollably.

Now when she sees these words again, she just feels disgusted.

"Girl, girl, what's wrong with you!"

Fuqiu walked over and patted Yu Guiwan on the back.

"fine."

Yu Guiwan paused before speaking.

Fuqiu looked at Yu Guiwan's distressed expression and walked out, "I'd better go get a doctor to take a look."

Yu Guiwan quickly stopped him from speaking, "No need, I'm fine now. Besides, where can you find a doctor at this late hour?"

"Go down, I want to rest."

Yu Guiwan handed the letter to the candle and burned it completely.

Out of sight, out of mind. Yu Guiwan simply lay down on the couch and dozed off, falling asleep before he knew it.

Xie Sui came back in the middle of the night. He tiptoed back to the room and saw Yu Guiwan sleeping on the couch. Even in her sleep, she kept frowning, wondering if she had dreamed of something bad.

Xie Sui gently lifted Yu Guiwan up and carried her horizontally to his bed, then covered her with a blanket.

Before leaving, he smoothed out the wrinkles between her eyebrows.

……

Wei Heng had just finished tidying up the letters on the desk and was about to leave when he saw Xie Sui, who had just left not long ago, come back.

"Didn't you go to bed?"

Xie Sui walked into the house and sat down.

"I can't sleep, so stay with me and talk for a while."

When Wei Heng heard this, she rolled her eyes at Xie Sui and said, "Xie Shiyu, are you sick? I have to sleep even if you don't."

Xie Sui propped up his head and replied lazily, "Haven't you gotten enough sleep during the day? Besides taking medicine, all I do every day is sleep."

Wei Heng, who was about to get angry, was choked by his words and wanted to slap himself. Why did he say such a thing for no reason?

Then he sighed softly and finally sat down.

Xie Sui said coldly, "You can leave if you don't want to."

Wei Heng: “…”

How dare he say that?

He had no choice but to play chess with Xie Sui without complaint.

After the chess game was more than half over, Xie Sui finally spoke: "Bei Chu, tomorrow you will have someone clean up the room next door and give it to the princess to live in."

"Yes."

Bei Chu responded outside the door, but he couldn't help feeling confused.

Did the prince and princess have another fight?

Then Wei Heng said with a smile, "I win this round."

"Did you have a fight with her? Your mind was not on the chess game at all." Wei Heng asked the question that Bei Chu did not ask.

Xie Sui shook his head and said, "You don't understand."

Wei Heng looked at Xie Sui speechlessly, not understanding what Xie Sui was thinking. "Yes, yes, I don't understand."

*

Yu Guiwan was awakened by the noise next door. She then realized that she was sleeping in Xie Sui's bed. She looked around but did not see Xie Sui.

"Furong, what are they doing in the next room?" Yu Guiwan called Furong and asked.

Furong lowered her head and stammered, "Yes, the prince ordered the servants to clean up the room next door for the princess to live in."

Yu Guiwan thought something was wrong, so she waved her hand and said nonchalantly, "I know. Please comb my hair for me."

Furong frowned, "Princess, did you have a quarrel with the prince?"

"Nothing."

"Then why are you and the prince sleeping in separate rooms for no reason?" Furong asked worriedly.

"Because my master said that the prince's current health condition requires him to sleep in a separate room for the time being." Yu Guiwan moved out of Chu Yue to prevent Furong and Fuqiu from telling their mother the time of the separate rooms, otherwise they would worry again.

After getting the correct answer, Furong's wrinkled face relaxed.

"Fuqiu, please ask someone to deliver a message to the Fu family later." Yu Guiwan waved at Fuqiu and whispered something in her ear.

Fuqiu nodded and immediately left the house with these words.

……

After Xie Yunqi finished the morning court, he went directly to Mingyue Tower.

"Cousin, what a coincidence, are you here for dinner too?" A pretty girl came out from nowhere. When she came in front of Xie Yunqi, she leaned forward slightly, saluted, stood up again, and took Xie Yunqi's arm.

Xie Yunqi had no choice but to nod and then pulled his arm away.

The girl didn't mind Xie Yunqi's actions and continued, "It just so happens that I haven't had lunch yet, so I'll go with my cousin."

His uncle's daughter is the most difficult to deal with. He has no idea what to do with her, but his uncle spoils her to no end.

Xie Yunqi calculated that there was still an hour left until noon, so he would think of a way to get rid of her after dinner.

"Let's go. I've booked a private room upstairs."

Xie Yunqi went upstairs first, and the girl followed quickly.

The two of them sat in the private room. After Xie Yunqi ordered the dishes, the girl spoke tentatively, "Cousin, that sickly Su Qingyu can't be your princess. Who else do you want to be your princess?"

Xie Yunqi frowned and scolded softly, "Ayan, this is not your business."

"Why can't it be my business?" Fu Yan didn't hear the answer he wanted but was scolded instead, so he immediately got angry.

"If my cousin wants to ascend the throne in the future, he will definitely need support. If others can do it, why can't I?" Fu Yan glared at Xie Yunqi angrily.

Yesterday, when she learned that her cousin was going to marry Su Qingyu as Princess Ping, she was furious. It was obvious that their Fu family was the best choice, so why did they choose Su Qingyu, that sickly girl?

"Shut up!" Xie Yunqi glared at Fu Yan, his tone much heavier.

Fu Yan was so frightened by his scolding that she stood there in a daze. The next second, she pouted and looked aggrieved.

Xie Yunqi pinched his brows, realizing that his tone was a bit harsh. He tried to suppress the anger in his heart and spoke in a much softer voice, "Ayan, do you know what you are saying? You should be careful about what you say and do in public."

"I'm going to go find my father and tell him you bullied me."

Fu Yan stood up and left Mingyue Tower in a hurry with her maid.

Xie Yunqi also let Fu Yan go. He was just thinking about what to do with her, and now that she left on her own, he didn't have to rack his brains to come up with a solution.

"Miss, it might not be a good idea for us to leave like this." The maid following behind Fu Yan spoke in a low voice.

Fu Yan raised her little face and said, "What do you know? I'll go find my father and ask him to tell my aunt that I want to be the Princess of Ping. If my aunt agrees, my cousin will have no choice but to agree too."
