Chapter 424 Daiyu sees Xiangyun
Chapter 424 Daiyu sees Xiangyun
The noisy noise broke the tranquility of the palace and alarmed the palace's housekeeper.
He jumped out of bed sleepily, put on his clothes quickly without thinking, and rushed to the door like a gust of wind.
When he arrived at the door panting, he looked closely and found that the person standing in front of him was Wang, the housekeeper from Master Tong's house!
This really surprised him, and he secretly groaned in his heart:
"What should I do? If I offend the old man in that mansion, I really can't afford to offend him!"
The steward did not dare to be negligent and hurriedly dismissed the guards. Then, with a smile on his face and his hands clasped together, he greeted Steward Wang respectfully:
"Oh my, we really didn't recognize Mount Tai!
Sorry, sorry!
It's late at night, please come in and have a cup of hot tea, and we can talk slowly."
However, Butler Wang did not appreciate it at all. He just flicked his sleeves as if he wanted to shake off the butler's hospitality.
Then he spat forcefully, glared at the butler with cold eyes, and said unhappily:
"Hmph, you talk better than you sing! I'm not here to ask for your cup of tea today!"
After saying that, Butler Wang seemed to still feel unsatisfied. He glared fiercely at the door and asked the butler with a suspicious look on his face:
"Let me ask you, our eldest daughter has disappeared. Does your family know about this?"
When the butler heard this, he was struck by lightning and froze.
The eldest wife is missing?
This is a big deal!
Even in the dead of night, we have to report it immediately.
However, he seemed to not believe his ears and blurted out involuntarily:
"The eldest wife is missing?"
Housekeeper Wang nodded vigorously, thinking to himself: "Hey, where did this young lady go? It looks like no one in the palace knows either!"
As they were talking, Butler Wang suddenly insisted on meeting the prince in person, and no matter how everyone tried to persuade him, it was useless.
The housekeeper had no choice but to send someone to inform Xiao Luzi first, and then arranged for the housekeeper Wang to wait in the small flower hall.
Xiao Luzi hurriedly trotted to the study and went to the outer room without thinking.
The prince was hugging Daiyu tightly, as if she was the most precious treasure in the world.
The two of them confided in each other, just like lovers who had been separated for many years and finally met again.
Their tears were intertwined, sometimes crying, sometimes laughing, and their emotions rose and fell like the tide.
At this moment, someone suddenly rushed in rashly and interrupted this warm moment.
The prince was a little displeased. Who would be so rude in the middle of the night? He was about to scold him when he heard Xiao Luzi's voice coming from outside the door.
"Master, please come out for a moment. There's water leaking out of the porch for no reason, and all the flowers are drowned!"
Although Xiaoluzi's voice was not loud, it was particularly clear in the quiet night.
The prince felt a little annoyed. Why did someone bother him with such a small matter?
He was about to lose his temper when he heard Daiyu whisper in his ear:
“You should go out and take a look.
The crabapples, azaleas, and peonies under the porch are in full bloom these days, and we can’t let these flowers go to waste.”
After hearing what Daiyu said, the prince's anger immediately subsided.
He looked at Daiyu gently, gave her a few instructions, then put on his coat and hurried out.
However, when he opened the door, he saw Xiao Luzi standing at the door, gesturing with his hands, indicating that he had something important to tell him.
The prince looked carefully and saw that Xiao Luzi's face was anxious, as if something urgent had happened.
The prince frowned and asked him, "What's wrong?"
Xiao Luzi lowered his voice and said, "Master, someone is coming from Duke Tong's mansion!"
When the prince heard that someone was coming from Duke Tong's mansion, he instantly became conscious.
I thought to myself, why are there people coming so late? Could something important have happened in that house?
He didn't have time to think about it, and hurriedly followed Xiao Luzi to the small flower hall.
The night air is as cool as water, quiet and beautiful.
In the small flower hall, hundreds of flowers are in full bloom. In this quiet night, they stretch out their buds, as if telling silent stories.
Steward Wang was sitting in the small flower hall. He had just finished a cup of tea when he saw the prince rushing in with his servants.
He hurriedly stood up and paid his respects to the prince.
However, the prince pulled him up.
Seeing this, Butler Wang no longer stuck to the rules of etiquette and told the prince directly:
"Your Majesty, our eldest daughter has disappeared for no apparent reason!"
When the prince heard the news, he was struck by lightning and was completely stunned.
Bijun's figure immediately appeared in his mind, and he wondered why Bijun disappeared.
Butler Wang continued, "The master asked me to ask you two what's going on with your engagement?"
The prince then came to his senses and realized that it was time to end his engagement with Bijun.
No wonder I've been dreaming about Bijun for no apparent reason these past few days. Could it be...
Now that the Duke's Mansion has sent people to inquire, I must give them an explanation.
After all, the engagement between him and Bijun has not been cancelled, and Bijun is still considered a member of the palace.
The prince shouted to Xiao Luzi anxiously:
“Hurry, hurry, hurry!
Send a few more people to accompany Steward Wang back to the Tong Mansion. They must obey Master Tong's orders and must find the First Lady!"
Upon seeing this, Butler Wang wanted to make things difficult for the prince, but when he saw that the prince acted decisively, he swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
The prince hurriedly instructed others:
"Go and call Cailian over quickly, and ask her to go with you to the Tong residence to look after Xuan'er!"
After the man took the order and left, the prince breathed a sigh of relief, but his brows were still furrowed.
He whispered to the person beside him, "Go to the storeroom and take the music box that the Westerner gave you, and give it to Xuan'er as well."
The butler stood aside and watched all the actions of the prince.
He knew in his heart that the arrangements made by the prince were very appropriate and there was no fault to be found.
So he didn't say anything more and hurriedly left the palace with the people assigned by the prince.
……
In the morning, the sunlight shone through the window onto Daiyu's face. She slowly opened her eyes, as if she had just woken up from a sweet dream.
It has been a long time since I slept so soundly and sweetly as I did last night.
During the days of coma, she felt as if she was in a strange world and everything around her became blurry.
She tried hard to open her eyes, but she seemed to be bound by an invisible force and could not wake up no matter how hard she struggled.
At this moment, a familiar cry reached Daiyu's ears:
"Sister Lin, Sister Lin..."
The voice was so kind that it brought a warm feeling to Daiyu's heart.
She was about to stand up slowly when suddenly a pair of hands gently covered her eyes.
"Guess who I am?"
A hearty voice laughed.
Daiyu was very familiar with this voice. Her heart trembled suddenly and she blurted out:
"Yun'er...but...but...how could it be?"
Xiangyun slowly moved her hand away from Daiyu's eyes. When she saw Daiyu's thin face, tears burst out like a flood, and she could no longer utter a word.
When I went to the Jia Mansion, Daiyu was still as delicate and lively as before. However, after just half a year, she had become so thin!
"Yun'er, is it really you? Since you are here, why don't you see your child?"
Daiyu stared at Xiangyun, her eyes filled with tears.
