Chapter 556: Still a Perfect Match
He Xi, however, stepped aside to block the way, with an embarrassed look on his face: "I don't know either. The young lady insisted on keeping vigil after she woke up. She must have left temporarily because of something. Your Highness, don't worry. You should sit in the side hall for a while and wait for me to ask someone to find her."
"Okay, go find it now, go quickly..." Zhou Chang urged He Xi hurriedly.
He Xi didn't care about Zhou Chang and left quickly.
When Zhou Chang saw He Xi leaving, he couldn't wait even a moment and immediately went towards the backyard.
"Your Highness, where are we going?" the skinny monkey asked closely as he followed behind.
"Which yard do you think Yuan Qi lives in?" He had been here several times before, but because someone led the way, he didn't pay attention, and he always went to Yuan Yu's residence. Now Zhou Chang wanted to find Yuan Qi's residence, but he was completely in the dark.
The skinny monkey blurted out, "East Cross Courtyard."
Zhou Chang stopped and said, "Huh? You know all this?"
The thin monkey didn't think much of it: "What's the big deal? Brother Gao knows where Liu'e lives, so I naturally know where Miss Yuan lives."
Zhou Chang had nothing to say, so he gave the skinny monkey a thumbs up and said, "Then you lead the way, can you find it?"
In the previous few times, in order to create more opportunities for Gao Yuan and Liu E to meet, Zhou Chang always brought Gao Yuan with him every time he visited Yuan Yu, and then let Gao Yuan go to meet Liu E on his own.
The skinny monkey patted his chest and said, "Although I have never been there, no matter how big the Yuan family is, it is still not as big as the imperial palace. They are all arranged like square tofu, so it must not be difficult to find."
"Yes, it's cubes of tofu. You're awesome. Lead the way." Zhou Chang kept walking.
The skinny monkey started to take Zhou Chang around, and after some turns, he became confused.
Zhou Chang was anxious.
Before he could complain, two servants from the Yuan Mansion happened to pass by with something in their hands.
The thin monkey caught up and asked, "Do you know where Master Wen is?"
Both of them shook their heads.
"Then where is this?" the skinny monkey asked again.
One of the brave servants asked back, "Who are you? The mourners are all in the front yard. This is the side yard, and ordinary guests don't come here."
"Nothing, you guys go ahead." Zhou Chang sent them away.
The two servants secretly looked at Zhou Chang and saw that he had an extraordinary demeanor and clothes. The brave one said, "We have many guests in your house today. We are sorry for not welcoming you well. If you are lost, please follow us back to the front hall. There will be someone there to entertain you."
"No need, you guys go." Zhou Chang repeated.
The two servants were still a little worried.
Zhou Chang had no choice but to add: "If you see you congratulating the chief steward, tell him I'm here."
Saying "Congratulations" really works.
The two servants agreed in unison and retreated.
As soon as the others left, Zhou Chang immediately asked Shou Hou, "Why are you asking where Wen Fei is? Why don't you just ask Miss Yuan?"
"Your Highness wants to come in suddenly, isn't it just to see whether Number One Scholar Wen is with Miss Yuan?" No one could stop the skinny monkey from speaking his mind.
Zhou Chang was speechless.
The thin monkey went straight to the point and said, "If the prince had gone straight to Miss Yuan at night, did you see how the two servants would react? It would be more convenient to say that he was going to find the top scholar. As long as he finds the top scholar, Miss Yuan will probably not be far away."
Zhou Chang was speechless.
The two continued to walk forward aimlessly.
Along the way, he received stares from the servants passing by.
Finally, a middle-aged servant recognized the thin monkey and pointed out the direction: "Go along this corridor. Master Wen is in the east study, which is in front of the flower room."
Zhou Chang followed the skinny monkey in the direction he pointed.
The two walked through the corridor and saw a courtyard at the end.
"Your Highness, that is Liu E. I was right, wasn't I? We finally found her." The skinny monkey saw Liu E guarding outside a door in the yard from a distance.
Zhou Chang, on the contrary, slowed down his pace and hesitated.
If Yuan Qi and Wen Qingyan were really in there, wouldn't it be bad for her to go there like this?
The skinny monkey didn't notice it. Just as he was about to walk up to greet Liu E, the door of the courtyard suddenly opened and Wen Qingyan and Yuan Qi came out one after another.
Zhou Chang subconsciously hid in the shadows, and the skinny monkey also stopped his actions.
Yuan Qi seemed to send Wen Qingyan out, his voice tired and cold: "In short, don't let me down, remember my words, everything is over."
Wen Qingyan naturally only had Yuan Qi in his eyes. No matter what Yuan Qi said, he agreed unconditionally: "Don't worry, as long as it's you who said it, I will take it to heart. But you..."
Yuan Qi was dressed in white mourning clothes, and Wen Fei was also in a plain white gown. The two stood in the night, and the moonlight on their bodies seemed to be glowing.
The two of them had the same figure and appearance, and Zhou Chang recalled that he had once looked up at them on the streets of Longyun Tower in Jindu, one shining like the moon, the other as bright as the stars...
After going around in circles, it turns out that they are the most suitable couple after all.
"I understand your intentions, but..." Yuan Qi had just said this when he looked up and noticed that the figure outside the yard had stopped.
Did these two people talk it out?
While Zhou Chang was still admiring the perfect couple, Prince Yi Fengming felt empty inside.
Yuan Qi had already left Wen Qingyan and walked towards Zhou Chang: "Your Highness Prince Yi? Why are you here?"
Zhou Chang was in a daze, and hadn't thought of an excuse yet, so he had to bite the bullet and go over: "No... I... I thought I should burn some incense for Master Yuan, so I came over."
Only when you get closer can you see it clearly.
Yuan Qi and Wen Qingyan's eyes were red, obviously they had cried together.
"Thank you, Your Highness." Yuan Qi bowed and turned back to Wen Qingyan, saying, "It's getting late. You must be tired after a day of hard work. You should go back and rest early."
Wen Qingyan's eyes were red and swollen, and his eye bags were dark. It was obvious that he had not rested well in the past few days.
I guess he had already planned to leave, but after seeing Prince Yi, he didn't want to leave anymore.
Yuan Qi repeated softly: "Qingyan, go back."
Wen Qingyan did not answer, but came directly to Zhou Chang, looking at him proudly with sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes, showing no hidden hostility: "Your Highness Prince Yi should have also offered incense, so why not go with me."
"As a garrison officer above the Ministry of War, how can you stay away from home and not return to Jindu?" Zhou Chang instinctively fought back since he sensed the hostility.
Even though Wen Qingyan looked haggard, he was still handsome and elegant. He shook his sleeves and stood aside. "Although Your Highness is the Prince of Yi, you cannot manage the affairs of the Ministry of War. It is not Your Highness's responsibility to worry about when this humble servant will return."
"Since you asked me not to worry about your affairs, you shouldn't worry about mine either..." Zhou Chang felt uncomfortable when he thought of what the two of them had said in the house just now.
Yuan Qi did not want the two to remain in a stalemate, so he spoke to smooth things over: "It's late at night, and I have to go back to the front to keep vigil. If you two have nothing else to do, please go back. Liu E..."
