Chapter 263: Chapter 263: Bleeding without a Wound, There’s Another Possibility

Feng Yexuan merely stopped outside the door and had no intention of entering.

Chu Huaiyu alighted from the carriage behind him and briskly walked up to Grand Tutor Chu, bowing as he said, "Father."

He glanced once more behind him, his gaze sweeping past Qin Liuyan, but without any intention of greeting her.

Qin Liuyan’s eyes were filled with expectation, which ultimately sank into disappointment as she lowered her head.

Now that she was the rightful daughter of the Duke Residence, her status was noble, and certainly no one would greet a concubine in waiting with such formality.

There were distinctions of high and low status.

Having paid his respects to Grand Tutor Chu, Chu Huaiyu hurriedly turned back, looking at Feng Yexuan and said, "Your Highness, please don’t misunderstand, I didn’t leak the news!"

It was as if he was very afraid of being misunderstood.

An unmoving passion could never be seen on the handsome face of Feng Yexuan.

He merely glanced at her and then spoke to Grand Tutor Chu, "Grand Tutor, I have safely returned Miss Chu, I shall take my leave."

"Your Highness, are you... are you leaving?" Grand Tutor Chu was taken aback, shouldn’t... shouldn’t he come inside for a cup of tea and a leisurely chat?

Feng Yexuan disregarded him and walked directly towards his carriage.

His demeanor was so aloof that it was intimidating.

No one thought him rude; on the contrary, they all trembled with trepidation.

Did they do something wrong? Did they anger His Highness?

Grand Tutor Chu quickly pulled Chu Huaiyu aside and whispered anxiously, "Huaiyu, you can’t let His Highness leave now. Not entering the house after crossing the threshold would be laughable."

"Those young girls and lads of your second and third uncles are all watching in secret, each waiting to enjoy the show!"

Chu Huaiyu felt helpless but had no choice but to chase after Feng Yexuan.

"Your Highness."

"Is there something else?" Feng Yexuan was clearly impatient.

"Your Highness, please don’t misunderstand, I’m not looking for another excuse to accompany you back to the Prince Residence. I’ve truly understood, and I won’t pester you anymore, truly, please believe me this once."

Chu Huaiyu was very anxious and embarrassed, "It’s just that... it’s just that... if Your Highness leaves like this, it would... it would embarrass my father."

"What does it have to do with me?" He had never cared for the gaze of others.

Chu Huaiyu helplessly said, "Could you... for my mother’s sake, go in and see grandfather? Even a glance would be good. Don’t... don’t just leave me at the door and go. I’ll be... the subject of rumors."

Leng Ji, though he didn’t like her,

still, it wasn’t good to ruin the reputation of a young lady.

"The Duke has apparently been constantly unwell lately. Your Highness, why not pay a visit to check on the Duke?"

To make His Highness pay more attention, Leng Ji whispered, "Your Highness, the Duke’s illness seems to be looked after by Miss Lili nowadays."

All of a sudden, Feng Yexuan turned and walked towards the gate of the Duke Residence.

He was actually not well-acquainted with Chu Buqu and had little interaction before.

But the man was ultimately the grandfather of that woman...

Seeing him return, Grand Tutor Chu’s face broke into a broad smile, and he personally greeted him inside.

However, Prince Yexuan’s demeanor remained aloof and indifferent, paying little attention to their conversation.

But it quickly became known that Prince Yexuan had entered, aiming for the Duke’s bedroom.

Chu Huaiyu followed and said, "I haven’t seen my grandfather in a long time either. Your Highness, your guards are all over the courtyard, and it’s said that others are usually not allowed in..."

"You may enter with me," Feng Yexuan said without further words and stepped into Mingzhe Garden.

Chu Huaiyu finally found a glimmer of hope in her eyes and followed him inside.

Grand Tutor Chu and the others, however, were stopped outside the courtyard gate, as usual, unable to enter.

At least, Chu Huaiyu was allowed in.

Chu Buqu looked in good spirits today, and a smile graced his face that had been pale for many days.

Although he was somewhat surprised to see Chu Huaiyu and Feng Yexuan come in together.

But it quickly became calm again.

"How is Xiaoqi doing in the Prince Residence?" Chu Buqu asked.

Before Feng Yexuan could speak, Chu Huaiyu reminded him, "Grandfather, Fifth Sister is doing quite well in the Prince Residence, the Prince cherishes her a lot, please rest assured."

Chu Buqu managed a smile, yet his gaze remained on Feng Yexuan, "Prince..."

"How does Duke feel?" When Feng Yexuan faced him, there was finally less coldness on his face.

"Very well, with Xiaoqi... Lili’s medicine, this old fellow has somehow picked up another lease on life."

He glanced outside.

Seeing no one else, he was a bit disappointed, "Didn’t Lili come?"

"She has gone to the fifth brother’s Prince Residence as a guest," Feng Yexuan did not conceal the fact.

Chu Buqu wanted to ask why but, seeing that Prince Yexuan didn’t seem to have much desire to talk, he did not inquire further.

Conversing with Prince Yexuan was always quite pressuring.

This child, merely twenty-three years of age, yet so prematurely solemn and deep, cold and detached, habitually keeping people at a distance.

He hadn’t been there long before, having confirmed that Chu Buqu was indeed much stronger, he prepared to leave.

Chu Buqu personally escorted him to the gate of the ward, and everyone finally saw his true face.

Having not seen him for many days, they didn’t expect to see him looking so well!

It seemed he would soon be completely recovered?

Everyone had their own thoughts...

...

At the Prince Xiaoyao Residence, today was exceptionally clear and tranquil.

Under the pavilion by the lake, Feng Wuya was still pondering over the harmonica Chu Qianli had given him, while the guard Tie Xin came hurrying to report, "Prince, Mr. Liujin from Prince Yexuan’s residence requests to see Miss Lili."

Leaning on the pavilion edge feeding the fish, Chu Qianli paused for a moment before turning to look at Feng Wuya.

Feng Wuya asked, "Will you see him?"

"If I don’t see a person from Prince Yexuan, I fear I’ll suffer again when I return, can I not see him?" she pulled at the corner of her mouth.

Feng Wuya, however, laughed, "My fourth brother is not an unreasonable person."

Chu Qianli, however, gave him a sidelong glance and a hollow laugh, "Does the Prince really think your fourth brother is a reasonable man?"

Feng Wuya was taken aback, unable to refute her words.

Sometimes the fourth brother... well, seemed indeed to be somewhat savage.

"Mr. Liujin is a good man," he said, smiling and waving his hand.

Tie Xin immediately went off, and before long, led Liujin over.

Seeing Chu Qianli sprawled on a chair, feeding the fish in a disinterested manner, her lazy appearance made Liujin pause in slight astonishment.

In Prince Xiaoyao’s presence, Miss Lili seemed... rather relaxed and comfortable.

Had the two not just met not long ago? Why did it seem now that there wasn’t the slightest bit of restraint between them?

Liujin approached them, and after paying respects to Feng Wuya, he looked at Chu Qianli with a smile, "Miss Lili, how have you been feeling recently?"

"What’s it to you?" Lingering on the chair, Chu Qianli continued to watch the fish in the lake.

Liujin walked slowly towards her, smiling, "I have been by the Prince’s side for many years, and I traditionally take the Prince Residence’s master’s pulse for peace of mind; thus, I also wish to take Miss Lili’s pulse to check if her body is in good health."

No sooner had he spoken, he reached out to grasp Chu Qianli’s wrist.

The Prince had said there was a pool of blood in her room, a large pool.

As a physician, Liujin thought about it more deeply than anyone else.

If a lot of blood had been lost without any apparent wound on the surface, then for a young woman, there was another possibility.

That was a miscarriage!

Just one pulse check would clarify everything!
