Chapter 49: Brothers turn against each other (3)
"Um."
Zhou Cheng responded softly. Yin Yin had just woken up and didn't know the situation yet. She looked at Zhou Cheng, then at Xue Han, Xiuying, and Lei'er...
"Miss?"
Seeing Yin Yin looking at her, Lei'er couldn't help but shout out, as if she was very worried.
"Well, it seems that I have made you worry again--"
"That's not the case—"
As soon as Yin Yin finished speaking, Lei'er rushed to answer. Her behavior made Yin Yin chuckle. It was not a joke, but a laugh at Lei'er being too straightforward and simple, and her caring heart for others. She felt relieved to have such a person around her.
Xiuying on the side seemed to have something to say, but did she seem to be deliberately suppressing it?
"Xiuying? What's wrong with you?"
Yin Yin asked with concern.
"Princess, how do you feel now? Is there anything wrong?"
After struggling, Xiuying finally spoke, and it seemed that she wanted to ask about Yinyin's situation. Yinyin shook her head slightly in response.
"That's good—"
After knowing that Yinyin was fine, Xiuying finally breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, she felt very guilty about Yinyin's illness . Now that she is fine, she feels like a heavy stone has been lifted from her heart.
"I'm so sorry for making you worry. If only I had listened to you—"
Yinyin knew why she fell ill. Xiuying had clearly advised her to be careful, but she insisted on going out. She went out with her sick body, and finally she collapsed because she was overwhelmed by the conversation with Zhou Cheng...
"Princess——"
It is true that Xiuying had tried to persuade him, but she still blamed herself for not being able to succeed. Now that Yinyin was able to reflect on herself, Xiuying felt very excited and a little relieved. She was taking care of Yinyin according to Wang Ye's words. If anything happened to Yinyin, she would not be able to see Wang Ye. Also, she and Yinyin had known each other for a long time and she respected her very much, so she was willing to take on the responsibility of taking care of Yinyin.
"You must be hungry after sleeping for so long? Lei'er, bring the food over—"
"yes!"
Zhou Cheng said with concern that the meal that was originally prepared for him just happened to come in handy. It didn't matter to him whether he ate it or not. As long as Yin Yin was safe and sound, that was more important than anything else.
The news of Yinyin's awakening spread quickly. Zhang Ren and Shan Yufeng knew it first, and then Zhou Yan, Han Yu and Feng Qinghan also knew it...
【Qingfeng Manor】.
"Oh, you awake?"
"Yes!"
"Does that mean everything is alright?"
"yes."
"That's good—"
After learning from Feng Yan that Yin Yin had woken up and confirmed that she was fine, Feng Qinghan breathed a sigh of relief. Feng Yan noticed this. To be honest, he had never seen Feng Qinghan worry about anything, not even a little bit. But now he was actually worried about Yin Yin?
"By the way, you said Ling Yuexue went to the [Prime Minister's Residence]?"
Before, Feng Qinghan had not listened to anything because he was always worried about Yin Yin. Now that he had received the news that Yin Yin was safe, Feng Qinghan naturally did not need to worry about her anymore. He then remembered that he had heard Feng Yan mention Ling Yuexue in the report he brought back from the [Prime Minister's Mansion].
"Yes, and some fine herbs were also sent."
"You really dare to do it——"
Feng Qinghan's words made Feng Yan feel puzzled.
"Hmph, it seems that a little warning is not enough. I want to see how far you can go——"
The corners of Feng Qinghan's mouth curled up slightly, and he was smiling again, which made Feng Yan even more confused.
"By the way, what happened to that girl? Shouldn't she have arrived a long time ago? Could it be that she was attracted by something new on the road?"
After hearing Feng Qinghan's words, Feng Yan remained silent for a rare moment, but he was thinking in his heart, "It must be."
"This girl is really getting more and more ignorant of the rules. She doesn't even listen to me——"
At first glance, Feng Qinghan sounded like he was blaming her, but there was no hint of that in his tone, so Feng Yan didn't need to care at all. He looked at Feng Qinghan and said, "Should we send someone to look for her?"
"You know how clever that girl is, how could they find her?"
Feng Yan fell silent again, thinking about it, it was indeed true. None of the people sent in the past could complete the task, but were framed by the other party. Just thinking about it made Feng Yan shudder in his heart, because the people who were sent ended up being beaten into a miserable state.
"Then do you want me to--"
"Don't worry about her. She will come back naturally when she has had enough fun."
"yes!"
Since Feng Qinghan said so, how could Feng Yan not listen? Moreover, as long as it was Feng Qinghan's words, Feng Yan would never disobey.
"How is the situation with Prince Jing?"
"He hasn't come out since escorting the Queen Mother back to the palace."
"It's getting more and more interesting—"
Feng Qinghan showed his expectant expression again. Yin Yin was already awake, and Zhou Cheng had missed a day of morning court. He could guess how things would develop after that without even thinking about it. His expectation felt like he was watching a fight between two tigers from a mountaintop.
The next day [Gyeongbokgung Palace].
"Got it, go down—"
"yes!"
After learning the situation from his subordinates, Zhou Yan's eyes flashed coldly.
On the eve of the morning court session, many people had come to the court hall, and Zhang Ren was one of them. Looking at his expression, he seemed to have returned to his old self...
"Mr. Prime Minister, is the Emperor okay now?"
"Well, it's fine now."
"That's good—"
Yesterday, Prime Minister Zhou did not attend the morning court. Zhang Ren informed others that the emperor was not feeling well. Now that Prime Minister Zhou has returned to the palace, it means that he will attend the morning court. Many ministers have confirmed with Zhang Ren. However, since he was absent from the morning court, everyone in the court seemed uneasy. It seems that Prime Minister Zhou is irreplaceable .
After Zhou Cheng returned to the palace, he first went to the [Imperial Study], changed into his dragon robe, and then read the official documents before attending court...
