Hou Ye's palm heart is a black lotus

Chapter 751 Considering the Situation (Second Update)

Ye Chutang composed herself and smiled slightly.

"That's the best way."

Seeing that Ye Chutang didn't seem too worried about the matter, Princess Qinyang felt relieved.

Her gaze then shifted to the scattered tools around her, but after looking at them for a long time, she still couldn't figure out how to make them.

"This is such a troublesome thing, why don't you just find someone to do it? Why do it yourself?"

Ye Chutang picked up a file, paused after hearing this, and said, "It's alright. It's just that some of the materials are a bit difficult to get. Anyway, I don't have anything else to do lately, so I'll take my time to work on it."

Princess Qinyang had a vague feeling that what Ye Chutang was going to make was not just a simple wheelchair, after all, there were many trivial items here that she felt were completely useless.

However, since Ye Chutang has said so, there's no need to keep trying to persuade her; just let her be.

“Since it was made by you, it must not be an ordinary wheelchair.” Princess Qinyang clicked her tongue.

Ye Chutang smiled, but did not deny it.

In fact, besides a wheelchair, she also needs to prepare a pair of prosthetics.

That was the real reason she made such a big fuss.

With limited resources and a lack of many materials, Ye Chutang could only do her best to handle the details and make it as usable as possible.

Princess Qinyang watched for a while, but found it really uninteresting, and wondered where Ye Chutang got such patience.

Later, she simply went to play chess with Xiao Wu.

After losing three games in a row, Princess Qinyang's lips twitched slightly.

Seeing that Xiao Wu was packing up the chessboard, preparing for another game, Princess Qinyang immediately stopped him, saying sternly, "Xiao Wu, I suddenly remembered that you've started practicing calligraphy recently, haven't you? I won't keep you any longer, go and write!"

Xiao Wu tilted her head and blinked her big, black grape-like eyes.

—I've already finished writing today!

Princess Qinyang, still somewhat skeptical, coughed and said, "Then let me see it. Has it improved?"

Xiao Wu turned around and went to get her calligraphy practice book. She returned and handed it to Princess Qinyang with both hands, her little face showing a hint of anticipation.

—My third brother said earlier that her writing wasn't good enough!

These past two days, my third brother has been leaving early and returning late every day, and he hasn't had much free time to take care of her. Today is a good day to let Princess Qinyang take a look at her!
Xiao Wu raised his head expectantly, looking at her with wide eyes.

Princess Qinyang was quite pleased with that look and affectionately ruffled Xiao Wu's hair.

"Don't worry! I'm not as strict as your third brother! Your handwriting—"

Looking at the neat and beautiful regular script on the paper, Princess Qinyang stopped abruptly, looked at it several times in disbelief, and then asked Xiao Wu in a light tone.

"This...you wrote it?"

Xiao Wu nodded vigorously.

—Yes, yes! Princess, please take a look and see how it is!

Princess Qinyang: "..."

She took a deep breath and stared at the handwriting, pondering it for a long time.

"Your handwriting... is quite good..."

Xiao Wu leaned forward again and stretched out her little hand to gesture.

"Is there anything she can improve on? She must study hard and practice diligently so that she can really impress her third brother next time she sees him!"
Princess Qinyang, recalling her own messy handwriting: "..."

She coughed guiltily, "Xiao Wu, you're still young, and you've already done a really good job writing like this! Just keep it up!"

Xiao Wu was skeptical—Really? Her writing is already this good?
Princess Qinyang's eyes flickered as she carefully unfolded the paper, folded it neatly, and then... handed it back to Xiao Wu.

"Take it back. Your third brother will be very satisfied when he sees it later."

"It would be impolite not to take it now," Princess Qinyang thought calmly. She was already used to being outdone by Ye Chutang, but now even Xiao Wu was doing the same. "Um, I suddenly remembered I have some things to attend to at the manor. The wine from Yunlai Tavern should be arriving soon, so I won't stay any longer. I'll come back another day!"

After Princess Qinyang finished speaking, her figure disappeared into the courtyard like a gust of wind.

Xiao Wu, left standing there: "..."

She subconsciously looked at Ye Chutang.

Ye Chutang didn't even look up. "She didn't practice calligraphy properly, so she deserves what happened today."

Princess Qinyang, who had just reached the outer gate, exclaimed: "!!!"

Xiao Wu vaguely guessed what was going on, and looked down again.

—Is her writing already this good?
Ye Chutang kindly reminded her, "Don't worry, your third brother and she have different standards."

Xiao Wu still has a lot of practice to do at his current level.

Xiao Wu: "!!!"

……

Prince Jing's Mansion.

Xiao Chenglin abruptly looked up from the pile of letters, his beautiful and delicate face unable to conceal his shock and anger.

"What did you say! Where did he go?"

Chang Sui lowered his head. "Yunlai Tavern. According to the news, he went out alone early this morning and went straight to Yunlai Tavern. He sat there alone for about half an hour before leaving."

wow-

Xiao Chenglin pushed the things on the table aside, his face frighteningly cold.

"What exactly is he trying to do?!"

Last night he repeatedly warned Shui Xingqiu not to act rashly, but Shui Xingqiu didn't listen at all!
Not only did they refuse to disguise themselves, but now they've actually gone to Yunlai Tavern in broad daylight!

If it attracts the attention of someone with ulterior motives, it could cause a lot of trouble!
"Is he absolutely certain that no one in the capital will recognize him?!"

This Shui Xingqiu is far too arrogant!
Even though Nanhu is thousands of miles away from the capital, it doesn't mean he's absolutely safe! Once his identity is exposed... things will become even more complicated!

The attendant advised, "Your Highness need not worry for now. He only stayed at the tavern for a while and did nothing out of line..."

Xiao Chenglin let out a cold laugh.

"The most outrageous thing he did was to wander around the capital with that face!"

There are plenty of influential people in the capital. If they really want to investigate him, Shui Xingqiu has no way to escape!

Xiao Chenglin pressed his temples, feeling a headache coming on.

However, what Chang Sui said next only made him more agitated.

“Your Highness, there is one more thing… She has learned that Shui Xingqiu has arrived in the capital and wishes to meet with him.”

Xiao Chenglin paused, slowly raised his eyes, and his gaze was extremely cold.

"Have you all forgotten what I said before?"

The servant panicked and immediately knelt on one knee, his body tense. "Your Highness, please understand! I clearly relayed Your Highness's words to her before, and she initially agreed readily, but... perhaps because of Shui Xingqiu, she made this request. After all, after all..."

He lowered his voice and spoke hesitantly.
"After all, the poison in her body has not been completely removed... It's understandable that she has reservations."

Xiao Chenglin remained silent.

The attendant paused for a moment, then continued, "It is said that... if the Life-and-Death Gu is not completely eliminated in time, it will cause great damage to the body. At best, it will affect lifespan; at worst, it could lead to death at any moment. Otherwise, she wouldn't be in such a hurry..."

Xiao Chenglin glanced at him indifferently, his tone completely calm.

"You really care about her."
