"It's time for the Young Master to take his medicine. This humble maid will take her leave."
Lin Wanyu ignored his words, curtsied, and turned around with the things in her hands, walking into the room.
Lu Zian curled his lips. Gazing at the slender figure, there was a hint of playfulness in his narrow eyes.
Only after Lin Wanyu entered the house did he turn around and leave.
Hearing the courtyard gate close, Lin Wanyu silently let out a sigh of relief. She carried the medicine and stepped into the bedroom.
Lu Huaijin was sitting in front of a small table beside, writing something. Hearing the sound, he slowly raised his eyes and looked at Lin Wanyu.
His gaze was extremely calm, just like the boundless wilderness under the sky, with nothing and seeing nothing.
"Your Highness, it's time to take your medicine. This humble maid saw that there was fresh milk in the small kitchen, so she specially made some pastries. Chunqiao has already tested them."
She carried the medicine and walked in front of him. After picking up the medicine, she knelt down and presented it.
Lu Huaijin lowered his eyes and looked at her. He didn't take the medicine in her hand. In a deep voice, he said, "What do you think of the King of Chang?"
Lin Wanyu frowned slightly. She couldn't quite figure out the purpose of Lu Huaijin's question.
"This humble maid has a low status and doesn't dare to make random remarks about the prince."
"Now there's only you and me. It's okay."
Lu Huaijin's gaze was like a layer of cold frost at this moment, falling on Lin Wanyu's heart.
Since she was a child in the Drunken Flower Tower, although she didn't have to receive guests, Lin Wanyu was in that environment and naturally learned some skills of observing people.
The King of Chang... He seemed worldly and smooth, but he was definitely not a kind person!
She could see it, and Lu Huaijin couldn't have failed to notice.
So he must have other purposes for asking this question.
Thinking of this, Lin Wanyu unconsciously raised her eyes and glanced at him. Suddenly, some thoughts came to her mind.
"The King of Chang and Your Highness are of the same blood, and both are outstanding among people. But in this humble maid's heart, Your Highness's charm is unmatched by anyone."
After she finished speaking, Lin Wanyu suddenly felt that the pressure on her head was reduced a bit.
The medicine in her hand was also taken away.
"Get up!"
Lu Huaijin's expression was still calm, but his tone sounded much more lenient.
After serving Lu Huaijin to finish the medicine, Lin Wanyu helped him to the couch to rest.
She originally wanted to ask when the main courtyard would be cleaned, but then she thought that it was better to avoid trouble.
The entire Yuncheng Residence belonged to Lu Huaijin. Where he wanted to live was up to him. How could it be decided by a mere maid like her?
So, she just needed to serve him well. It was just...
When could she escape from this cage?
Lin Wanyu lowered her eyes and glanced at the person lying on the couch. She concealed the loneliness in her eyes, put down the moon - white curtain, and then turned around, picked up the things on the table, and stepped out.
It was already quite hot at this time. Lin Wanyu thought that the ice in the room should be replenished. Just as she was about to go out to find Sichen and ask him to prepare some, as soon as she opened the courtyard gate, she ran into Nanny Zhou beside He Shulan head - on.
Lin Wanyu was stunned at first. After a moment, she reacted and immediately curtsied.
"Nanny Zhou."
Nanny Zhou looked at her and smiled gently: "Don't be nervous, miss. This humble maid came here today to ask Miss Lin for a favor."
"Please tell me, Nanny Zhou."
"After noon, the princess is going to the temple to pray for the Young Master. She would like to ask the miss to go to the front courtyard to transcribe a few copies of the Buddhist scriptures. Then they will be handed over to the master in the temple to be burned to show our sincerity in the mansion."
Nanny Zhou's face was sincere, and there was no other emotion in her eyes.
Lin Wanyu was hesitant. She didn't know whether she should agree or not: "Please forgive this humble maid, but His Highness is here now and has ordered this humble maid to serve him closely. I wonder if I can bring the scriptures here to copy?"
Nanny Zhou smiled and said gently: "It's easy to find someone to take care of His Highness, but the person in the Young Master's heart is only the miss. The miss just go with this old maid. This old maid will arrange someone to serve here. Copying the Buddhist scriptures only takes one or two hours. It won't delay anything."
She blocked all of Lin Wanyu's retreats, so Lin Wanyu had to agree.
Following Nanny Zhou all the way to the front courtyard, Lin Wanyu's heart was always in a flutter. She always felt that things were not that simple.
It was not until she saw the table and the cushion placed in the small ancestral hall that her hanging heart was slightly relieved.
"The miss can just sit here and copy."
"Yes."
Lin Wanyu walked to the desk, sat down, opened the Buddhist scriptures, picked up the pen, and started to copy.
Nanny Zhou watched for a while: "The miss's calligraphy is really as beautiful as the miss herself. This old maid still has to serve the princess, so she won't disturb the miss's copying."
"Nanny, you are over - praising me."
After Lin Wanyu got up to watch Nanny Zhou leave, she sat down again and started to copy.
It took more than two hours to copy two copies of the Buddhist scriptures.
These two hours were the most peaceful time for Lin Wanyu since she came to the mansion.
Nanny Zhou came over on time. She picked up the Buddhist scriptures Lin Wanyu copied, took a look, and nodded in satisfaction: "The miss is so sincere. The Young Master's injury will surely get better soon."
"Yes."
"Thank you, Miss Lin. This old maid will see the miss out."
"Thank you, Nanny."
After leaving the front courtyard, Lin Wanyu let out a long sigh of relief and stepped towards the Yuncheng Residence.
Just as she walked to the door of the Huanhua Pavilion, she saw Chuncheng push the door open and come out. When he saw Lin Wanyu, he seemed to see a savior.
"Oh, Miss Lin, where have you been? You're finally back."
Lin Wanyu's heart sank: "What's wrong? What happened?"
Chuncheng glanced into the courtyard, then quietly closed the courtyard gate and said truthfully: "Miss Zhou came to serve His Highness. His Highness woke up and was unhappy. He's throwing a tantrum there now!"
"Miss Zhou?"
Lin Wanyu frowned. Since last night, she had given up the idea of finding someone to seduce Lu Huaijin. So she didn't give Zhou Danlin any hints all day. Why did she come here?
Chuncheng nodded helplessly and sighed: "His Highness has hated that pungent perfume smell since he was a child. Because Miss Zhou served His Highness in the main hall all night yesterday, His Highness couldn't stand the smell, so he came to the miss's place.
"Although the concubines brought into the mansion have all been carefully investigated, when investigating, we can only investigate their family backgrounds and so on. We can't investigate whether they are smart or not! Miss Zhou has suffered once, but this time, she still came here on purpose. It's really..."
Lin Wanyu stood there, suddenly at a loss.
At this time, Lu Huaijin was in a fit of anger. If she went in, she might be implicated.
Chuncheng saw that he had said so much, but the person in front of him still remained unmoved. He couldn't help but get anxious: "Miss, why don't you go in and persuade him? The imperial doctor said that His Highness must avoid getting angry because of this injury."
Lin Wanyu stared blankly at him, her almond eyes full of doubts.
"How can I persuade him?"
This question really stumped Chuncheng. He stared blankly at her. Their eyes met, and they just stared at each other...
"Miss, His Highness wants you to go in."
In a daze, Sichen pushed the door open and came out. When he saw the two of them, he was stunned for a moment, and then passed on Lu Huaijin's message.
