Yet... Prince’s attachnt to Su Yan... really has reached a certain extent.
Almost wherever Su Yan was, one could see the Prince.
And the ambiguous kiss marks on Su Yan’s neck grew deeper and more noticeable by the day.
Was the Prince so eager for the world to know that she was spoken for?
It was clear enough that the Prince truly fancied her greatly.
Chunhua carried the tea towards the sleeping quarters, arriving at the door.
She respectfully said,
"Your Highness, your servant is here to serve you tea."
After quite so ti, a voice ca from inside,
"Co in."
Chunhua pushed the door open, her movents gentle.
She saw His Highness at the nearby desk, only in his undergarnts, draped in a blue gown, practicing his calligraphy.
His hair was untied, a streak of sunlight ca in, his cold lips faintly smiling.
Chunhua couldn’t help but glance at the paper.
She saw the two characters sprawled out on it,
Su Yan.
The next second, Chunhua quickly bowed her head down and placed the tea cup on a nearby side table out of the way.
Then, she withdrew.
Accidentally, her gaze swept towards the bed, the curtains tightly drawn, not a sliver showing; judging by the situation, Su Yan was probably still sleeping in bed.
She closed the door and walked out.
About a tea ti later, Nantang spoke at the door,
"Your Highness"
"Co in"
His voice was mild, carrying indescribable emotions.
Having followed the Prince for many years, Nantang could tell that the Prince was in a good mood.
He walked in, without looking around, walked up to Third Prince.
With hands folded in front,
"Your Highness, the Eldest Prince has beco vigilant towards you, and the Second Prince is also restless. Your subordinate believes, we cannot let this continue."
Xuanyuan Yonghao shifted his eyelids, looking at the two characters on the rice paper.
The corners of his lips curled up slightly, he said warmly,
"Indeed, it’s ti for a result."
As he spoke, he sat down on the red sandalwood chair behind him.
Unhurriedly,
"Since it can’t be concealed, let’s not hide it."
Upon hearing this, Nantang’s expression suddenly turned serious,
"Your Highness, can your frail condition return to normal?"
Xuanyuan Yonghao glanced at the bed, a smile crossing his eyes,
"No need"
Nantang hesitated then spoke,
"Your Highness, you have been taking dication for a long ti; it has so impact on your health."
Xuanyuan Yonghao tapped his fingertips lightly on the table, pausing for a while,
"Nantang"
"Your subordinate is here"
"Su Yan belongs to this palace, I will not allow any mishaps with her. Do you understand?"
Nantang clenched his fists, his expression stern, and did not speak for a long ti.
Xuanyuan Yonghao spoke again, his voice colder and more authoritative this ti,
"Do you understand?"
After a long ti, Nantang almost gritted his teeth as he spoke,
"She had you drink that poisoned wine, she wants to kill you."
This was what Nantang held most bitter resentnt about.
Su Yan is a spy, but since the Prince likes her, as a subordinate, he naturally wouldn’t say much, even going to great lengths to safeguard her.
But now, Su Yan had seriously jeopardized the Prince’s safety.
The Prince even turned a blind eye, drinking the poisoned wine she brought without batting an eyelid.
The existence of this woman made Nantang wary.
Xuanyuan Yonghao narrowed his eyes, looking at Nantang with his hands folded in front.
He didn’t speak again, his fingertips tapping the table continuously, creating a silent atmosphere except for this tapping sound.
Eventually, it was Nantang who could not bear it anymore,
"Yes"
He complied eventually.
He is a subordinate, and the Prince is the one he swore to serve unto death.
Whatever the Prince says, he will do.
Even though he was very averse to that woman, even harboring murderous thoughts,
But since the Prince said not to allow any harm to co to her, unwilling as he was, he still had to protect her.
