Chu Nianhe sorted out the makeup and hair for the princess, and then chose a long skirt that looked rounder for her, and then accompanied her out of the palace and headed towards the pharmacy.
Along the way, the princess was very nervous and repeatedly asked Chu Nianhe how she looked, whether she was too thin, and whether her face was bloodless. Although Chu Nianhe spoke kindly to comfort her, the princess was still extremely panicked, with sweat always in her palms and a pale face.
When he arrived at the pharmacy, Chu Nianhe ordered people to park the carriage, and asked Xiaochan to inform Zhou Ji. He took the princess upstairs from the back door and went directly to the room where Lin Yuan lived.
The princess was quietly in front of the room door, holding Chu Nianhe’s hand and didn’t dare to knock on the door for a long time.
Chu Nianhe patted the princess’ hand lightly, then raised her hand and knocked on the door, listening to the people inside.
“Come in.”
The voice was hoarse, but the princess could hear who its owner was at the first time.
A sour feeling surged up, causing her tears to overflow from the corners of her eyes again. She bit her lip, and without hesitation, she pushed the door and entered the room.
Lin Yuan was standing in front of the window. After hearing the sound in front of the door, he turned around and looked at it. When he saw this, he was facing the princess’s eyes, and he was speechless.
After not seeing each other for two days, Lin Yuan has become much haggard. Although the clothes he was wearing were still neat and clean and his hair was not messy, the princess and Chu Nianhe could still see the helplessness and pain hidden in his eyes at a glance.
Chu Nian closed the door and quietly retreated, leaving only the princess standing.
In place, he twisted the handkerchief with his hands, and didn’t know what to say for a long time.
“You are here.”
Lin Yuan spoke first.
His voice was still as gentle as ever. Although it was a bit hoarse, it was still the princess’ familiar tone. His eyes looked at her gently. Although there was a little fatigue inside, the princess still felt his care at the first time.
“Yes,” she didn’t know what to say, so she had to respond to his words: “I’m here.”
Lin Yuan stood there without moving. After looking at her for a while, he said, “I know you will come, I’ve been waiting for you.”
“What–“
The princess didn’t expect him to say this, and her eyes widened in surprise.
How did he know she would come? Could it be…
Lin Yuan seemed to know what she was thinking, and a gentle smile appeared on the corner of her lips: “I know this pharmacy belongs to Miss Chu, so I have been waiting for you here.”
The princess was even more panicked and had not thought about what to say. Now that she suddenly heard his words, her heartbeat was almost flying out of her throat.
“I…I…”
She wanted to say something, but her mind and mouth were not good enough, and she didn’t say anything for a long time.
“Don’t think too much, I’ve never blamed you.”
Lin Yuan did not force her, but turned around and looked out the window again: “The incident that day was all caused by my mother. If she hadn’t been to make things difficult for you and begged the queen to go to your Bishui Pavilion to cause trouble for you, you wouldn’t have said that.”
His gentle words made the princess cry for a moment.
“I…”
Whatever she wanted to say, but thousands of words were in her throat. I was afraid that tears would fall if she said one more word.
Lin Yuan seemed to understand what she was thinking, his tone was relaxed but with a hint of heaviness.
“Now that things have reached this point, what I told you must be the truth. I am waiting here just to relax your heart. I don’t want you to bear a heavy burden for these things, and I will not be at peace for a long time.”
His voice was as light as if it was in the clouds. When the princess heard this, she couldn’t help but bit her lips and looked at his back with some concern.
“Then…Lin Mansion…”
