Chapter 223 The Third Prince of Yunze
Every movement caused him excruciating pain, and his arms trembled uncontrollably. However, compared to the agonizing torment he had endured before, this pain was far less intense.
"I don't know how to address you, but I will definitely repay you if I have the opportunity in the future," Leng Chenyuan said, bowing despite the pain.
Qin Yunzhu and Qin Wanyue exchanged another glance.
It seems this person doesn't want to reveal his true identity.
"My name is Qin Yunzhu, and this is my eldest sister, Qin Wanyue. There's no need for repayment." Qin Yunzhu said calmly.
"Yunzhu, he doesn't seem like a bad person. Given his condition, why don't we let him recover from his injuries first?" Qin Wanyue suggested.
Qin Wanyue pulled Qin Yunzhu aside and said in a low voice, "Can't Wanying see it? Let Wanying see what her identity is when she comes back."
Qin Yunzhu thought this was a good idea.
This person hasn't fully recovered yet; they need to take two doses of medicine and have some food and water before anything else.
"You should lie down and rest first. We won't report it to the authorities. Let your injuries heal first," Qin Wanyue said.
Leng Chenyuan hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
For some reason, he easily believed what Qin Wanyue said.
He was in pain all over his body, and standing was too painful, so he went back to sit on the bed.
Qin Wanyue brought him the medicine.
Seeing the shocking wounds on her fingernails, she said, "Don't move, I'll feed you."
Actually, the servants could have fed her, but Qin Wanyue inexplicably fed her herself.
Leng Chenyuan remained silent, quietly watching Qin Wanyue. When the medicine was about to reach her lips, she obediently opened her mouth.
This feeling is somewhat strange.
He was imprisoned by his brother and suffered inhuman torture for a month. The servants made fun of him and he had long forgotten what it felt like to be treated well.
This woman not only saved her, but was also willing to feed her medicine.
Leng Chenyuan felt a pang of sadness, and a long-lost sense of emotion welled up within him.
"Thank you," Leng Chenyuan said softly.
"What's your name?" Qin Wanyue asked.
"My name is... Chen Yuan."
"Chen Yuan? What a nice name." Qin Wanyue sensed that this person was reluctant to mention his identity during their conversation, so it was probably a fake name.
She didn't bother to investigate further; she knew who he was once her younger sister returned.
Regarding his injuries and his background, Qin Wanyue felt it would be too abrupt to ask about them since they had just met, and he probably wouldn't tell her anyway.
So he asked, "What are your plans for the future?"
Leng Chenyuan remained silent for a long time before finally saying, "I have nowhere to go."
He just said he was leaving. But if he really leaves, where can he go?
He had previously fled to the area around Kyoto, and this place should be Kyoto.
He was penniless and had his brother's men chasing him; he might die if he went out.
"Where is your home?" Qin Wanyue couldn't help but ask.
Leng Chenyuan fell silent again: "I never want to go back to that place."
“You saved me, and I want to repay you. I’m willing to be your servant,” Leng Chenyuan said, looking at Qin Wanyue.
He wanted to stay, not only because he had nowhere else to go, but also because of Qin Wanyue.
For some reason, he wanted to stay with Qin Wanyue.
Qin Wanyue looked into Leng Chenyuan's eyes, which had been clear before, and they became deep and profound. At this moment, he seemed like someone with a story to tell.
Looking into Leng Chenyuan's eyes, Qin Wanyue simply couldn't bring herself to say "no."
"I have no problem here, but I don't know if my father and other family members would be willing to let you stay."
"Who is your father?" Leng Chenyuan swallowed a mouthful of bitter medicine and asked with a calm expression.
There was no need to hide Qin Wanyue's identity, since this was the Dingbei Marquis's residence.
"Marquis Dingbei, Qin Yezhong." Qin Wanyue blew on the medicine in the spoon and handed it to Leng Chenyuan.
I wondered to myself, "Is this medicine really not bitter? Why isn't this person reacting at all?"
Leng Chenyuan was slightly taken aback. Marquis Dingbei, Qin Yezhong? He had heard of him before in Yunze.
Unexpectedly, the woman before them was the daughter of the Marquis of Dingbei.
A dark glint flashed in Leng Chenyuan's eyes.
If only it were an ordinary family.
Since the Marquis of Dingbei is an official, would he report his affairs to the emperor?
What would the emperor's reaction be if he knew he was in Dayao? He couldn't guess.
Why don't you leave the Marquis of Dingbei's residence on your own?
If I leave, I have no idea where to go.
Moreover, looking at Qin Wanyue in front of him, he really didn't want to leave.
Let's first see what attitude the Marquis of Dingbei has towards him.
-----------------
Qin Wanying and her shadow guards searched the mountain for a whole day, but they couldn't find Leng Chenyuan.
It was very cold up in the mountain, and she was starting to question her existence.
As the sun set, people gradually left the horse farm, and Yan Yuelan also left.
Qin Wanying sneezed.
It seems that sometimes the script isn't accurate.
However, Leng Chenyuan is an important figure, and we must find him.
Qin Wanying returned to the Marquis of Dingbei's residence, shivering.
It was already evening when she got back. She made a point of sending someone back to the mansion to let them know she was safe. Her family members had all returned and were already waiting for her to have dinner.
She looked embarrassed, and kept wondering where Leng Chenyuan was the whole way.
Even after sitting down at the dinner table, he still seemed distracted.
[I've been squatting on the mountain next to the horse farm all day, how come I haven't seen anyone!]
Upon hearing this, both Qin Wanyue and Qin Yunzhu were taken aback.
Next to the horse farm? Did my little sister go to see someone today?
Who are they looking for? It can't be Chen Yuan, can it?
[Black clothes, silver belt, that's right, the date shouldn't be wrong either, so why hasn't the person shown up?]
Qin Wanyue and Qin Yunzhu exchanged a glance without making a sound.
That's right, it's Chen Yuan.
Qin Yezhong also heard about his eldest daughter picking up a person from near the horse farm. Qin Yezhong felt that this person had many secrets and should not be kept in the Marquis's mansion. Qin Wanyue persuaded him to wait until Wanying returned before making a decision.
Where on earth has that Third Prince of Yunze gone...?
As soon as Qin Wanying uttered her thoughts, everyone gasped.
The person Qin Wanyue picked up today was actually the Third Prince of Yunze?
Yunze is currently embroiled in internal strife, with several princes killing each other, and now the second prince has ascended the throne.
The Third Prince has always been indifferent to worldly affairs, and there has been no news of him.
How could he appear in Da Yao's place covered in wounds?
After his elder brother, the second prince, ascended the throne, he was jealous of how well their father had always treated him, and also jealous that the third prince was superior to him in every way. So he imprisoned Leng Chenyuan and tortured him for his own amusement every day.
Qin Wanyue suddenly realized.
No wonder this person is covered in injuries...
Those days must have been incredibly tough...
[He was originally supposed to be picked up by the female lead, Yan Yuelan, at the horse farm, then fall in love with her at first sight, and later return to Yunze, becoming the emperor of Yunze...]
The family appeared calm on the surface, but their hearts were in turmoil.
Qin Yezhong and Qin Xingyuan were both quite familiar with the political affairs of Yunze.
Yunze had several princes, and they were wondering which one would become the emperor of Yunze.
Unexpectedly, it was this unremarkable third prince who became emperor.
