Medical Princess - Chapter 504
Chapter 504 Someone Who Was Forced to Escape from the High Wall!
The night was dark and beautiful, but if it was windy and darker, it would make people feel not good.
One, two, three black shadows appeared in the sight. Even their clothes were black in the night. If Shao Wanru hadn’t kept an eye on them, she wouldn’t have noticed that there were three people appearing in the shadows at the corner of the wall.
One sneaked out from the tightly closed side door.
She suddenly opened her cherry-like lips and looked at the three people who were hiding below in horror.
The side door had been closed and the three people quickly moved to hide in the shadows of the walls. At this time, they seemed to have observed for a while and did not find anything unusual, so they moved carefully. Their movements were sometimes slow and sometimes quick, but they did not make any sound.
Shao Wanru held Chu Liuchen’s body tightly and stared at the ground. Her heart was beating fast, but she didn’t know whether it was because of the scene in front of her or her current situation.
Chu Liuchen took her to climb up a big tree. The tree was not at the side door, but not far away from it, so they could see clearly what was at the side door.
Chu Liuchen leaned lazily on the big tree with one hand around Shao Wanru’s slender waist. He looked totally relaxed, which made Shao Wanru feel very unsafe, so she subconsciously hugged him tightly.
Originally, she was afraid of falling off, so she didn’t dare to move. But when she saw the three people who were hiding, her attention was immediately focused on them.
She saw the three people moving away carefully and entering a small yard.
There seemed to be someone standing at the door of the courtyard. As soon as the three people came over, the door opened. After they entered the courtyard, the door silently closed, and they entered the middle room. The room was lit with dim yellow light, and it was very dark. One could vaguely see that the figures were moving, but didn’t know what they were doing.
Soon after, the light went out.
A while later, the people in the room still didn’t come out, as if they had rested inside.
“Your Highness, who… are these people?” Shao Wanru asked with a strange look. She recognized the owner of this yard. It was obviously Mo Qiuyi, the one who had begged Rui’an Great Elder Princess to take her countryman down the mountain.
Initially, Shao Wanru had not paid attention to that girl. What seemed strange to her was that the girl had stayed in Yuhui Nunnery for five years, growing up from a child into a young girl, a girl who often kept a distance from strangers.
Shao Wanru had stayed in Yuhui Monastery for a long time, and the two of them lived quite close to each other. Even though Shao Wanru lived in seclusion and rarely went out, they still had met each other a few times. Every time she met Mo Qiuyi, the latter would bow politely to her from a long distance and then turn to leave. Even though Mo Qiuyi looked gentle and polite, it was obvious that she was not easy to get along.
If they really ran into each other unfortunately, Mo Qiuyi would lower her head and make way for Shao Wanru.
Mo Qiuyi had been an originally strange person, but she was even more strange now. Added with her previous weird behavior, it more proved Shao Wanru’s thoughts.
“Just some delusional people!” Chu Liuchen leaned back and said casually.
“Did the incident that day have something to do with her?” Shao Wanru thought for a moment and asked. The recent events were slowly connected with each other, and there showed a looming clue.
“Some people think that what happened behind the high wall is very secret, and others will not know. But now it seems that they can’t avoid it, so they want to come out!” Chu Liuchen smiled very gently. The moonlight fell on his beautiful eyes, showing indescribable laziness and elegance. He leaned against the trunk, and stepped on the swaying branches, but he still gave people a sense of calm and elegance.
Shao Wanru slipped and was so scared that she almost screamed. She reached out in a hurry and hugged Chu Liuchen’s waist more tightly. She looked into the darkness under the tree and said in a trembling voice, “Your Highness… let’s go down and talk!”
“It’s good to talk here. The scenery is good, and it’s cool!” Chu Liuchen looked sideways at her and her cherry-like lips, which were a little pale. He suddenly smiled and looked more annoying.
“Your Highness, it’s cool under the tree too. It is autumn, and it’s cool at night!” Shao Wanru calmed down and tried to make herself look normal.
“But I feel hot!” Chu Liuchen’s beautiful eyes seemed to be closed, revealing a leisurely temperament.
How could he nap in such a place? Shao Wanru was nervous and she said hurriedly and sincerely, “Your Highness, I will fan you!”
If he took a nap and let go of her, she would really fall down.
“You are not good at fanning me!” Chu Liuchen refused decisively.
“I really do well, very well!” In order to make herself look more sincere, Shao Wanru tried hard to raise her head to look at Chu Liuchen’s face.
Moonlight fell on her watery eyes, almost covering them with a layer of mist. It made her beautiful face more like a flower and her watery eyes charming. Even though she was so scared that her face was pale, she somehow looked delicate and charming.
Chu Liuchen opened his eyes and looked at her. Suddenly, he reached out to hold her more tightly in his arms and said, “Don’t worry, I won’t let you fall down!”
The hand around her waist became more powerful, giving Shao Wanru a sense of security. In her impression, Chu Liuchen was sick and weak. But when he held her tightly, she didn’t feel that he was as thin as she imagined. She even felt that his whole body was hard like stone and very strong.
Didn’t he say that he was a dying patient?
Since she felt that she was in a safe situation, Shao Wanru had the mood to get down to business. She glanced at the courtyard not far away and said, “Have this been planned for a long time?”
Mo Qiuyi had been here for five years, so this matter should have been planned five years ago or earlier, right?
“A very long time!” Chu Liuchen said unconcernedly. His pair of handsome eyes slightly squinted, and looked a bit gloomy under the moonlight.
“Is this the most appropriate time?” Shao Wanru suddenly understood after a short pause. Mo Qiuyi had been waiting for more than five years, and there had never been any strange behavior in the past, but now that there were, it was the most appropriate opportunity now.
“No, I forced him to come out!” Chu Liuchen said in a low and slow voice.
Shao Wanru stopped talking. She remembered what had happened that night. Chu Liuchen had happened to be there at that night, and then that matter had happened in Yuhui Nunnery. Needless to say, he had something to do with those matters.
If this matter had not been related to Great Elder Princess, Shao Wanru would not have asked any questions about it. But at this time, she had to have a second thought and asked, “Does it have anything to do with the royal family?”
“It does! But it will be all right in the future, and there will be no trouble in Yuhui Nunnery!” Chu Liuchen snorted, and his eyes fell on the room. He could clearly know that there had already been no one in the room!
“They probably have gone down the mountain through the tunnel?” The corner of Chu Liuchen’s thin lips was quietly raised, and his eyes were narrowed with coldness in them as he thought to himself, “If they want to benefit from the dispute, they should think about whether they have this ability or not!”
“Did they really think that it was a flawless plan to protect themselves!”
Shao Wanru didn’t know when she came back to her room, because she had fallen asleep after leaning in Chu Liuchen’s arms for a long time. In her dream, she felt that she returned to Jiangzhou and sat on the swing in the backyard of her mansion. The swing swayed, making her both happy and nervous, but there seemed to be some sound far away or quite close. She did not sleep tight…
When she woke up, the sky was already bright. The moment she opened her eyes, she saw Qu Le and Yujie coming in, and they had already prepared her toiletries.
She rubbed her eyes and sat up. She looked around subconsciously and saw that it was still that silence room, so she was relieved in her heart.
Qu Le helped her up, and Yujie tidied up the bed. There was only one bed in the silence room, and now it could be her place to sleep, rest, and quietly practice.
She had also told Rui’an Great Elder Princess that she wanted to leave that courtyard empty there first. If Rui’an Great Elder Princess came to Yuhui Nunnery, she could settle down there and Shao Wanru would occupy Shao Yanru’s silence room. The place for quiet practice was also the place for rest and sleep, which seemed to be more devout. Since she had sent out such a message before, she would naturally do so at this time.
Luckily, the courtyard was big enough. Except the main room, the other rooms were all empty. If she wanted to walk around and have some fresh air in the courtyard, it was also good and wouldn’t make her feel suffocative.
After Shao Wanru washed her face, Qu Le rolled up her hair and put a simple hairpin into it, and then let some hair fall on her shoulder casually. Shao Wanru wore plain clothes, which looked simple but beautiful. Even with the simplest clothes and accessories, Shao Wanru showed a different kind of elegance and charm.
She had bright-colored and cherry-like lips, and her skin was as crystal clear as jade. Together with her exquisite facial features and black beautiful hair, this young girl’s beauty blossomed like flowers.
“Miss, the supervisor that came yesterday comes again!” Qu Le finished combing her hair and put the comb down before she reported.
“What’s the matter?” Shao Wanru lifted her eyebrow and looked at her reflection in the mirror who also raised her eyebrows. She suddenly felt it very interesting.
“She says they have something important to discuss with you. Huiming Nun comes together and is also waiting outside,” Qu Le said. In fact, the two of them had arrived early in the morning, but Qu Le and Yujie did not intend to wake up Shao Wanru. They saw Shao Wanru wake up and they still did not tell her until she finished washing.
Qu Le and Yujie had already understood Shao Wanru’s intention yesterday. How could they not know that these two people had come early in the morning with no good intentions?
“Miss, please have breakfast first. Anyway, this matter can’t be rushed!” Yujie took the food basket from the side and opened it. From it, she took out a bowl of porridge, two dishes of pickles, a dish of smoked bean curd, and two steamed buns and put them on the table.
Shao Wanru sat in front of the table and picked up the porridge to eat. The room was quiet for a moment. When she finished, she pushed the two steamed buns away and said, “I don’t like steamed buns!”
“Miss, you are growing. Such a little porridge is not enough. Have some steamed buns so that you won’t get hungry soon!” Yujie persuaded and pushed the plate with steamed buns to Shao Wanru.
“No!” Shao Wanru pushed the plate to Yujie. She didn’t know why, but she didn’t like to eat steamed buns.
“Miss, shall I get you some green vegetable buns with mushroom for you?” Qu Le asked tentatively.
“No, there has already had no vegetable buns!” Yujie said angrily. She certainly knew that Shao Wanru didn’t like steamed buns, but when mentioning this, she got angry. How could it be so coincidental that when they went to bring Shao Wanru some food, the vegetable buns with mushroom happened to be out of stock?
Seeing Yujie’s look, Shao Wanru knew that there was something wrong. She rolled her watery eyes and suddenly said with a smile, “Let them come in first!”
