Chapter 192 Lan Feng is back
Qin Yaoyao spoke softly, then suddenly realized, "Oh, I see! When will he return?" He Yanxi smiled and replied, "He will return today, he must be here soon!" He Yanxi gazed at Qin Yaoyao and asked softly, "How about I have him come here directly after he returns?" A glint of light flashed in Qin Yaoyao's eyes, as bright as stars, and she said sweetly, "Okay! Brother Xi, you're so kind."
He Yanxi's lips curled slightly as he continued to press, "Your maid seems to lack confidence in Lan Feng! Otherwise, why would she be so insecure?" Qin Yaoyao pondered for a moment and slowly replied, "I don't know. Someone as reserved as him would certainly never have given a token of love." He Yanxi nodded in agreement, saying, "Yes, very likely. Lan Feng is indeed that kind of person—reserved and old-fashioned." Qin Yaoyao nodded slightly in acknowledgment.
Meanwhile, after leaving her room, Qiuye didn't go anywhere else. She simply sat quietly on the steps outside, lost in thought like a statue. Even when Banxia and the others approached her, she seemed oblivious. Yingchun and the others exchanged glances, and Banxia called out loudly, "Qiuye." Qiuye seemed to snap out of a daze, slowly raising her head. Seeing Yingchun and the others, she said softly, "Why are you here?" Yingchun and the others immediately sat down beside Qiuye. Yingchun said with concern, "We wanted to see how you were doing. Are you alright?" Qiuye smiled slightly, like a flower blooming in spring, and said softly, "I'm fine, don't worry!"
Yingchun stared at Qiuye, who was forcing a smile, her heart aching. She said softly, "Qiuye, you don't need to pretend to be strong in front of us. If you want to cry, just cry it out!" Qiuye looked at Yingchun, who was tightly hugging her arm, and denied it, "I don't want to cry." Banxia chimed in, "But we're really worried about you looking like this. Why don't you just have a good cry? Maybe that will make you feel better." Dongxue angrily shouted, "He's just a man! What's the big deal? He's blind and has let you down. That's his loss. We can always find someone better."
Yingchun quickly chimed in, "Indeed, our Qiuye is so outstanding; she will surely find a husband even better than him in the future." Hearing this, Qiuye's tears flowed like a burst dam. She sobbed, "I know, but Sister Yingchun, he's the first person I've ever truly loved." Yingchun hugged Qiuye tightly, gently patting her back and comforting her, "I understand, we all know. Cry! It'll be alright if you cry. We'll always be by your side." Qiuye didn't cry for long before she broke free from Yingchun's embrace. She gently wiped away her tears and softly said to them, "I'm alright now, don't worry!"
Meanwhile, Lan Feng, anxiously finishing his business, rushed back to see Qiu Ye. He traveled at breakneck speed, day and night, completing what should have been a half-month journey in just seven days. As soon as he stepped through the city gates, he saw Lan Yu waiting expectantly. Lan Feng dismounted and strode up to Lan Yu, asking suspiciously, "Why are you here?" Lan Yu quickly explained, "The Prince is currently at the Duke of Zhenguo's residence and specifically sent me here to inform you to report to the Duke." Lan Feng nodded and said, "Alright, I'll go immediately." With that, he galloped off towards the Duke's residence like an arrow. Lan Yu, leading his horse, called out loudly, "Hey, what's the rush? Wait for me!" He chased after Lan Feng with all his might.
In the blink of an eye, the Duke's mansion was in sight, and Lan Feng rushed straight to Qin Yaoyao's courtyard like a gust of wind. As soon as he entered the garden, He Yanxi gestured for Lan Feng to go inside. Lan Feng entered the room, respectfully bowed to He Yanxi and Qin Yaoyao, and then began to report: "Your Highness, we have discovered that the riot in the southern city was the work of the Third Prince, and we have also found the private army he was raising." Qin Yaoyao was shocked and exclaimed, "He actually raised an army privately!" He Yanxi's face was ashen, and he said expressionlessly, "Continue." Lan Feng continued, "We have wiped out all these private soldiers." He Yanxi looked at Lan Feng with approval and praised, "Hmm, well done!" Seeing that Lan Feng seemed hesitant to speak, He Yanxi asked, "Is there anything else?" Lan Feng inquired, "Does Your Highness have any other instructions?" He Yanxi looked at the slightly anxious Lan Feng, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and said with a half-smile, "I have nothing more to say here. You must be tired from your journey, go and rest." Lan Feng replied, "Yes, Your Highness, I take my leave." After saying that, he turned and walked out. As he reached the door, Qin Yaoyao's clear, melodious voice, like a nightingale's song, came from behind him: "Qiuye is in the garden behind." Upon hearing this, Lan Feng stopped abruptly, turned around, bowed deeply to Qin Yaoyao, and said, "Thank you, Your Highness." After saying that, he left the room and strode towards the garden.
Before long, Lan Feng arrived at the back garden, but he couldn't find Qiu Ye anywhere. Just as he was at a loss, wondering where to look, a maid happened to pass by. So, Lan Feng quickly stepped forward and asked, "Hello." Lan Feng was handsome, with a face like jade, but he was as cold as ice, like a cold iceberg. However, this did not affect the girls' fondness for him. Seeing Lan Feng's handsome appearance, the maid lowered her head shyly and murmured, "Young master, is there something you need to ask?" Lan Feng politely said to the maid, "I would like to ask if you know where Miss Qiu Ye is?" The maid replied hesitantly, "Oh, I saw her go back to her room." Upon hearing this, Lan Feng hurriedly asked, "Then where is her courtyard?" The maid then pointed, and Lan Feng looked in the direction she pointed, then thanked her, "Thank you, miss." After saying that, he walked in that direction. The little maid behind her still stood there, gazing at him blankly, while another maid, seeing her so lost in thought, couldn't help but laugh and say, "Stop looking, he's already gone. He's not your man, he belongs to Sister Qiuye." With that, she pulled her away.
