Chapter 47: Looking at each other

When Su Changle woke up in the morning, before his eyes were fully opened, he caught sight of Jiang Shen looking at him half sideways.

Su Changle frowned, took out the tiger pillow from the quilt, rubbed it twice, and then murmured: "Why are you looking at me?"

The little girl who just woke up even spoke in a soft and waxy voice. Su Changle didn't know it, but Jiang Shen felt comfortable every time.

This soft and waxy voice makes people want to coax when they hear it.

"Nothing." After Jiang Shen had a dream last night, he fell into a deep sleep. It was this time when he woke up early in the morning. The first thing he did after waking up was to turn his head and look at Su Changle.

Su Changle woke up, stretched a little, and blinked at Jiang Shen: "Hmm?"

Jiang Shen paused, lifted the quilt, and got out of bed to wash up.

Su Changle also got up after Jiang Shen. She had something to do today. She not only wanted to see Xie Jiaqi who fell into the water yesterday, but also went to Dali Temple.

Su Changle tugged at his hair: There are so many things.

"Azhu." Su Changle called outside.

A-Zhu heard the sound and came in with hot water. She had been waiting outside for a while. A-Zhu was also a little surprised to see Jiang Shen still in the room at this time.

"What does the princess want to eat in the morning?" Azhu asked while helping Su Changle comb her hair.

Su Changle turned to Jiang Shen and asked, "I'm going out soon, do you want to eat together?"

Jiang Shen shook his head.

Su Changle didn't care either: Jiang Shen usually didn't eat much breakfast. Even when he was sitting at the table, he would barely eat some with Su Changle.

"Then let's have meat porridge and steamed buns. The noodles we ate last night have long been digested," Su Changle said.

After finishing breakfast, Su Changle asked Ah Zhu to pick some good things to nourish the body in the warehouse, and then went to Xie's Mansion.

--

Not long after dawn, Xie Jiaqi woke up.

She woke up from a coma last night, and when she opened her eyes, she saw a large group of people beside her bed, which not only made Xie Jiaqi think something had happened to her.

In fact, when she was fished out of the water, she was half-conscious. It wasn't until she felt that she was on the shore that she fainted with relief.

She already knows the nature of water. Yesterday, it was just because of the cold water in the river and the fact that she came to Kuishui that her body was suddenly relieved of its strength. Then she needed to be fished out. Otherwise, it would be just such a small amount of deep water.

You can swim back with your eyes open.

But it was her ability that allowed her to swim back, so it was true that Wei Ruyi wanted her to die.

So even if her mind was unclear last night, she should be clearer after sleeping for such a night.

It was still early, and the maid outside did not expect Xie Jiaqi to wake up so early, so everything was quiet inside and outside. Xie Jiaqi also wanted to stay quietly for a while, so she made no sound.

What made Wei Ruyi so crazy?

Xie Jiaqi carefully recalled what she heard yesterday. It should be that Wei Ruyi went to show her courtesy to others, but did not get anything in return, so she went crazy there.

But who is this person?

Wei Ruyi didn't say it. She probably didn't hide it deliberately because she was scolding people so loudly at that time, but the person who could cause such a big reaction from her must not be simple.

Thinking of this, Xie Jiaqi began to frown and calculate carefully.

"...Why don't you wait a moment, Princess? My young lady hasn't woken up yet."

As Xie Jiaqi was thinking, he heard the maid outside speaking softly.

Then Su Changle's voice came over: "It's okay, I, the princess, came early."

"Zhan Qing, I'm awake, let the princess come in." Xie Jiaqi said to the maid outside.

When Zhan Qing heard that Xie Jiaqi had woken up, she opened the door to Su Changle: "Princess, please come in."

Su Changle walked in quickly and rushed to Xie Jiaqi's bedside. Seeing that her face was still very pale, she felt a little distressed: "That damn Wei Ruyi should not have let her go so easily yesterday!"

When Xie Jiaqi woke up yesterday, Zhan Qing told her that Wei Taichang had come to apologize. He also heard that Wei Ruyi had been punished at home and could not even leave the room now.

"What happened to you yesterday?" Xie Jiaqi was a little worried about Su Changle.

"It's nothing, I just taught her a little lesson, but compared to you now, what she did is nothing." Su Changle was a little confused, "What happened yesterday? How did you two get into a fight?"

"It's not a fight at all, it's because she went crazy." Xie Jiaqi was so unjustly accused, and she was also puzzled as to why she seemed to be involved in every fight.

"Huh? She becomes like that after drinking some wine? She is really a madman."

"Not really." Xie Jiaqi said, "I mainly heard some of her secrets."

Su Changle's eyes widened.

Xie Jiaqi told Su Changle everything he heard on the observation deck yesterday.

"So, that person must be someone who can't speak out, otherwise she wouldn't be so crazy." Xie Jiaqi is still confident about this analysis.

"You're right, it's just a pity. Why didn't she say it herself? This way we can control her more, and we won't let her father beat her twice now."

Speaking of this, both of them felt a little regretful.

"But..." Su Changle arched his eyebrows and smiled, "You have to thank my brother properly this time."

Xie Jiaqi was a little confused: "What does this have to do with your brother?"

Su Changle was also a little surprised: "Don't you know it was my brother who jumped into the water and fished you out?!"

Xie Jiaqi was really confused this time——

She didn't know, she originally thought some boy had fished it out for her, but who would have thought it was the prince who looked like a stone!

--

Su Changle came out of Xie's Mansion and headed directly to Dali Temple.

It's already very warm at noon in spring. If it's not too cold, you can wear thicker spring clothes.

Su Changle looked at the cloak wrapped around her body and was a little angry: If it hadn't been so cold yesterday and Ah Zhu was afraid that she would be exposed to the wind again, she would have been able to wear a nice spring dress today.

Thinking of this, Su Changle made another hard mark on Wei Ruyi's head.

"Princess, the servant just came to report that the prince is not in Dali Temple today, does the princess still want to go?"

"Go, I'm not looking for him."

Su Changle quietly tried to untie her cloak, but Ah Zhu blocked her hand, so she had to take her hand back angrily.

After a while, the carriage stopped at the entrance of Dali Temple.

Of course the guard at the door knew Su Changle. She had come to see Su Heng several times before, so no one stopped her when she came in or out. He just asked: "My lord is not here today. Can the princess go back to the palace to find your lord?"

Su Changle yawned and said, "That's it. I, the princess, should wait here for my brother. Maybe he will come soon."

After Su Changle finished speaking, he walked inside, turned a corner, and saw Zhou Yihang who was about to go out for dinner.

When Zhou Yihang saw Su Changle, he was stunned for a moment, then stepped forward to salute Su Changle and said, "How was the princess yesterday?"

Although Zhou Yihang was not present for what happened yesterday, the news reached his ears before he left Jinchuan Garden. No one discussed the specific details, but only made some general remarks.

"Of course I am fine, Princess. Thank you Lord Zhou for your concern."

Su Changle smiled and continued: "By the way, I heard that my brother is not here. I wonder if Mr. Zhou is busy now. Can I, the princess, come to your place and wait for a while."

Zhou Yihang quickly bowed: "That's natural, Princess, please."

--

Yesterday's reward request was not the eldest prince's whim. Zhou Yihang quickly arranged it at his office in Dali Temple, not far from Su Heng.

"Master Zhou, this place is very elegant." Su Changle entered Yiyihang's office.

"Princess is joking, it's just a simple arrangement." Zhou Yihang said, asked Su Changle to sit down, and poured her a cup of tea, "Princess, please."

"Hmm, sit down too." Su Changle took a sip of tea and put down the cup.

"I'm here today mainly for two things. The first one is to celebrate Mr. Zhou's new appointment. I'm here to congratulate Mr. Zhou." Su Changle said this, and Ah Zhu put it in Su Changle's hand.

Got a box.

Su Changle placed the box on the table and motioned to Yiyihang to open it: "This is a gift for Mr. Zhou, see if you like it."

Zhou Yihang was a little flattered. He carefully opened the box and found a pen inside, which looked very expensive.

"Thank you, Princess." Zhou Yihang closed the box. He suppressed the strangeness in his heart and thanked Su Changle.

"It's just a little thought. I hope Mr. Zhou will be able to rise to prominence in the future." Su Changle paused and then said: "The second thing is about Lu Wenbin's case. I heard that it will be decided soon. Brother is not allowed to do this.

The princess asked, if there is any news, Lord Zhou please tell me the princess as soon as possible."

Zhou Yihang nodded: "This is certain."

Su Changle whispered: "Lu Jingyan is in the princess's mansion now. If she thinks of something, the princess will tell you as soon as possible."

"good."

"Oh, by the way..." Su Changle pursed her lips, "I have recently gotten married, so it may not be safe to meet at my house. If we need to meet, I will ask Azhu to inform you."

Listening to Su Changle's words, Zhou Yihang's hand holding the teacup paused. He lowered his head and looked at the teacup. His expression could not be seen clearly. He could only hear him say in a deep voice: "Okay."

--

When Su Changle came out of Dali Temple, she originally wanted to go back to the palace to see Su Heng, but when she thought that when she went back, she would definitely be asked about what happened yesterday, she thought it would be better to go back in two days.

What's more, I haven't had lunch yet. If I go back now, I might not be able to be with Jiang Shen.

Thinking of this, Su Changle's eyebrows curved and he ordered the coachman to return home quickly.

The coachman and Azhu were both laughing. Su Changle touched his belly and said duplicity: "Why are you laughing? I am hungry, and I don't miss Jiang Shen!"

But who would believe this? The two of them still laughed, and Su Changle got into the car in anger.

Perhaps because Su Changle was eager to return home, the carriage quickly arrived at the Princess's Mansion. Su Changle ran in and looked at the food that had just been placed on the table, with the corners of his mouth raised.

She looked at Jiang Shen coming from a distance and said, "Jiang Shen, come quickly! It's time for lunch!"

Jiang Shen walked over with a smile on his face. He didn't expect Su Changle to come back for lunch.

Looking at Su Changle's smiling face, his appetite seemed to have improved a bit, but...

He approached Su Changle and smelled a strange smell.
