The Eldest Princess

Chapter 35

In the gentle breeze and drizzle, Xuan Ruichen's voice sounded a little ethereal.

The cold light in his eyes seemed to condense into an ice cone, piercing straight into Yanyu.

Yanyu couldn't help but shudder. She answered in a steady tone and respectfully, "Your Majesty, Qian Fang came here to get the zither."

"He's here, what about Prince Wei?"

"I hope your majesty will forgive me. I haven't had time to ask yet."

"Could it be that my sister..." Xuan Ruichen paused for a moment, his voice lowered a little, as if he was talking to himself, "Is she with Prince Wei now?"

Yanyu shook her head, pretending to be embarrassed, and continued in a roundabout way: "Your Highness did not tell her where she was going before leaving, so I don't know."

Xuan Ruichen fell silent.

Since he didn't ask, Yanyu naturally wouldn't say anything.

When Xiao Anzi saw this, he thought to himself that something was wrong and wanted to ease the situation, but he was powerless.

For a moment, the scene became silent and depressing.

Xuan Ruichen's face was so cold that it looked like it would be covered with frost in the next second. His heart was getting colder and colder, but there was a cluster of fire burning under the ice.

What he wanted to ask most was where Xuan Fusang was now.

But he couldn't ask this question. He had discovered a long time ago that his sister didn't like anyone controlling her whereabouts.

For safety reasons, the imperial sister would definitely tell everyone around her where she was going.

Yanyu, who has always been favored by the imperial sister, said she didn't know. There was only one possibility, that the imperial sister had ordered that it should not be spread out.

As a ruler, Xuan Ruichen had no way to deal with Yanyu's blatant concealment.

Her status as a personal maid was there. If he scolded or punished her in Qiluan Palace, wouldn't that hurt the emperor's sister's reputation?

Besides, the imperial sister loves the girls around her very much, so he has to consider her feelings after all.

Unless he completely lost his mind, he would never touch anyone around the imperial sister.

However, he couldn't do anything to the imperial sister's people, but he could always manipulate Wei Rong's people, right?

Xuan Ruichen took a deep breath of the cool, moist air and calmed his mind.

His expression softened, making it difficult for others to discern any of his inner emotions.

"Since my sister is not here, I will go in first and wait for her to come back."

To save trouble, he added, "Qian Fang, right? Take me to find him. I will ask you personally if you haven't had time to ask."

Yanyu's thoughts turned. Although His Highness asked them to put Qian Fang over to get the zither, she knew that what His Highness really meant was for them to keep Qian Fang for a while.

Although she thought the time was almost up, she still wanted to delay it a little longer, so she said with a smile: "Your Majesty is worth a fortune, how can you condescend to me..."

Xuan Ruichen interrupted her coldly, "Take me there."

Yanyu thought that His Highness had not ordered strict security around her whereabouts, and the Emperor seemed to be unwilling to give in...
