Chapter 467 His name is Ah Shan, he must be a kind person
In King Han's villa, Luoying leaned against the window and stared at the bright full moon in the night sky. It was the first time in sixteen years that she spent the Mid-Autumn Festival alone, and she couldn't help feeling sad.
Suddenly, there were some laughter coming from the next yard. It was Dai'er and the maids who were enjoying the moon together. When Prince Han was not around, Dai'er's jealousy towards Luoying became more and more blatant. Whenever they met, she would mock and ridicule them. Even today at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, Luoying was mocked in front of the servants. However, Luoying approached Prince Han not for favor, so he naturally would not bother with her. So she would avoid him if possible to have some peace and quiet.
"Is Miss Tu Mi asleep?" The maid who returned to the courtyard was puzzled when she saw the darkness and silence in the room, so she came to the door and called softly.
"Well, I'll rest first." Hearing the voice, Luoying tiptoed back to the bed and responded lazily.
The maid outside the door heard the girl's lazy voice and thought that she was feeling wronged and sad because of the trouble she had suffered from Miss Dai'er at the banquet today. She wanted to comfort her with a few words, but then she felt that they were all jealous of the prince, and as a servant, why should she meddle in other people's business? If she tried to please one, she would offend the other, and in the end, she would probably not get any good results. Thinking of this, she said nothing and turned away.
Luoying listened quietly to the footsteps fading away before she slowly stood up. Suddenly, a dark figure quickly climbed through the window and entered. Before she could react, she saw the person bowing in front of her and saying:
"Princess."
"Brother Chen Ming, how did you come in? This is too risky. What if Yan Han left secret guards in the villa? Wouldn't it be dangerous?" Hearing Chen Ming's voice, Luo Ying was overjoyed, but then she looked out the window worriedly and spoke cautiously.
"Don't worry, Princess. We have been watching outside for two days. There is only a housekeeper with a few servants and maids in this villa. Yan Han's guards only stayed with him to protect him." After Chen Ming comforted Luo Ying in a soft voice, he stretched out a hand in front of her. The fragrance of osmanthus had already filled her nose, and a moon cake appeared in his palm.
“Where did these osmanthus mooncakes come from?” Luoying smiled brightly when she saw it. She picked up the osmanthus mooncake and couldn’t help but take a bite. It was moderately sweet, fluffy and soft. She had to admit that her cooking skills were not as good as this one.
"I passed by a farmer's house and smelled the fragrance so I secretly bought a few. Unfortunately, it's hard to deliver them to the princess during the day because there are too many people around. It's late at night and they are not easy to digest. The princess, just try them." Chen Ming saw her smile and couldn't help but said lovingly.
"I didn't expect that there are still people controlling me now!" Luoying had swallowed half a mooncake and shook her head helplessly.
Seeing the princess's innocent look, Chen Ming's guilt surged into her heart again. Her cold eyes were covered with a layer of mist in the dark night. How nice it would be if she could just stay happily with Master Shangguan!
While he was silent, Luoying had finished the mooncake in her hand, drank half a cup of tea, and then turned back to Chenming and sighed, "Tomorrow Yan Han will return here from Shangjing, but he doesn't trust me..."
"Then we will help you tomorrow."
"Tomorrow? Here? Can you escape safely?" Luoying frowned and looked at him worriedly.
"We have thoroughly explored this villa. If there is a route to get in, there is also a route to escape. Princess, you only need to lead Yan Han to this room tomorrow." Chen Ming smiled gently at her with confidence.
Luoying didn't say anything else, but she still felt a little uneasy in her heart.
After a night of chaotic dreams, Luoying slept in a daze until the morning light came, and she opened her eyes exhausted. She got up and drank a cup of cold tea. Suddenly she heard a noise outside and hurried to open the door. From a distance she saw a thin, dark-skinned boy limping in the yard, sweeping fallen leaves under a tree with a broom.
She had been in this villa for two or three days and had never seen this young man. Naturally, she did not expect Yan Han to come overnight. So she walked forward curiously and was about to ask him when she saw that the young man suddenly turned around. The two looked at each other and were shocked and stood there.
Luoying didn't expect to see the little guard who used to work in the cold palace of Langguo again in the Hanwang Villa. It's great that he is not dead! No, it's definitely not a coincidence. Someone must have arranged for them to meet here! Yan Han? Has he come back? Maybe he is secretly observing her reaction at this moment.
The thin, dark-skinned young man was stunned and at a loss when he saw Luoying. Then he was overjoyed. The princess didn't die in the fire! But he thought again. When someone asked him about the princess in the quarry, he was still wondering why someone suddenly asked about her when she had already passed away. Later, he was brought here and arranged to clean up. Seeing the princess's cautious attitude, he didn't dare to react. He just stared at the princess's stunning face.
Dressed in white, she looked more gentle and steady than before in Lang Palace, and became even more beautiful and charming. However, the sadness hidden between her eyebrows made him feel heartbroken. Lang Kingdom was gone, and she, the princess of a fallen country, finally fell into the hands of King Han of Xiyue Kingdom.
"Who are you? Why haven't I seen you before?" Luo Ying suppressed the panic in her heart, smiled at the other party, and asked curiously.
She didn't know how the young guard was found by Yan Han, nor did she know whether he had surrendered to Yan Han. So she was gambling, betting that he still had compassion and would let her go, or that he knew nothing and was forced to come before her, but could understand her hints.
Her smile made the young man suddenly return to the time when he was in front of the cold palace, and she smiled and called him "little guard".
"I'm Ashan, I just came this morning and would like to meet you, young lady." After a while, the young man came to his senses. Although he was puzzled, he followed the princess's instructions, dropped the broom in his hand, bowed to her solemnly, and replied with his head lowered. Only later did he realize that this was the first time he had told the princess his name.
"What's wrong with your leg?" It turns out his name is Ashan, he must be a kind person.
"I was accidentally hit by a stone in the quarry." Hearing the princess' concern for him, the boy was ecstatic but still did not dare to look up, for fear that his poor acting skills would drag down the princess.
"How did you get to the quarry? And how did you get here?"
"Tumi!"
After Luoying asked the question again with concern, Yan Han's light and lazy voice was heard in the yard. Her heart sank when she heard it. She looked in the direction of the voice and saw the man walking towards her with a heroic appearance but also a terrifying evil aura.
"Your Highness, you've arrived so early? Did you have to travel at night?" Seeing this devil, Luoying felt disgust and hatred in her heart, but now she had to pretend to be happy, walked forward, saluted and asked him.
Yan Han did not speak in response, but carefully looked at the little beauty in front of him who had been on his mind forever. At this moment, she was dressed in white with her shiny and soft black hair. Her every frown and smile was charming yet also full of innocence, which made everyone fall in love with her.
"Was this Ah Shan brought back by the prince?" Seeing that the other party was staring at her without saying a word, Luo Ying thought that Yan Han was still suspicious of her, so she pointed at the young man who had been kneeling beside her and asked curiously.
Yan Han still didn't say anything, but he was in a good mood after confirming that Tu Mi was not the princess of Lang Kingdom. He suddenly picked her up by the waist, turned his eyes and told Leng Wu who was following behind him: "It's useless to keep a lame waste, take her away and deal with her."
"Your Highness, how could he be useless? He was sweeping the yard just now." Hearing the cold words in her ears, Luoying was frightened and turned pale. In desperation, she hugged his neck and begged.
"A lame slave is just lingering on. Everyone can trample him into the mud. Why bother? I am in a good mood today and I am merciful to help him get rid of it." Seeing her hugging him again, even though it was for a slave, Yan Han couldn't help but feel excited, so he smiled at her in a rare good mood.
"It's a life after all, Your Majesty, just let him stay." Luoying wanted to continue pleading for Ashan, but Yan Han ignored her and just carried her to the side room.
Watching the young guard die because of her, Luoying felt heartbroken. She looked back with tears in her eyes at the young man who had been pulled up by Leng Wu. Coincidentally, he also looked up and smiled at her with relief. Since he was captured by the Xiyue Army and tortured, he had been waiting for death every day. Today, God had mercy on him and allowed him to see Princess Luoying before he died, so he had no regrets in this life.
Sorry, Ashan!
