Chapter 27 - Internal and External Communication

Hearing the crown prince's special request, Lin Wan'er stared at Xiang Yun in shock, puzzlement in her eyes. She had no idea why the crown prince was feeling so well, why he had suddenly tensed up and bent his body, looking extremely uncomfortable.

As soon as Xiang Yun received the straw paper from Old Liang's hands, he almost kissed Old Liang on the cheek out of grat.i.tude. However, it was too late for the latter to consider all this.

Xiang Yun rushed down from the carriage, his feet quickly tapping the ground as his body unknowingly swayed left and right, like a drunk man about to fall down.

However, the latter's subtly rotating feet had turned into something miraculous. His seemingly swaying body was actually riding the wind and breaking the waves as he quickly flew towards the entrance of the Mansion of the Duke Shoulder King!

"Hiss!"

Old Liang, who had a playful smile on his face and was drinking from a wine gourd, saw what had happened and spat out a mouthful of wine for the third time.

The latter ignored the wine that was all over his body. Instead, he used the sleeve of his linen robe to ruthlessly wipe his eyes. He suspected that he had been mistaken just now!

However, upon hearing more than ten long blade being unsheathed, it instantly transformed into a sound that resounded through the palace door, scaring many of the guests who were just about to enter the gates. Their legs softened, and they almost fell down on their seats at the doorstep!

"Who are you!"

The sudden turn of events at the gate of the Mansion of the Shoulder King scared everyone so much that their steps stiffened on the spot. And at this moment, the old housekeeper Lin Yue of the Mansion of the Shoulder King, who was currently holding out his hand and making a gesture of invitation, suddenly shot out a sharp light from his seemingly wrinkled little eyes, instantly sweeping over everyone!

When he clearly saw the bold and crazy person who had dared to charge into the entrance of the King Mansion, the latter's eyes shrunk. He immediately turned around and sternly spoke to the ten plus guards!

"Impudent! Third-son has returned to the manor. Welcome immediately!"

"Boom!"

"Welcome back, third son!"

It was only when Xiang Yun had entered the mansion and disappeared into the distance that the guards finally stood up.

All that was left was the stiff bodies of the guests. The sudden sounds of sabers being unsheathed and the shouts of the ten or so martial arts masters almost made them want to burst.

With the word 'please' from Housekeeper Lin, which sounded like a spring breeze, like the surface of a surging river, a warm spring breeze suddenly blew out. The spring breeze was gentle, but in an instant, the wind stopped the waves, causing everything to return to calm, as if it had never happened!

The fear and dread that had emerged in everyone's hearts just now had vanished at this moment. They returned to their calm moods and continued to smile humbly as they bowed and entered through the door!

After finis.h.i.+ng all this, Housekeeper Lin of the Duke's Mansion turned to look at the carriage in front of Xiang Yun. When he saw the driver, dressed in sackcloth, on the carriage, a trace of surprise flashed in the latter's eyes. He bowed towards the latter and the coachman merely whipped the air in front of him before pulling the reins and turning the horse around.

"Let's go, we should enter from the backyard as we don't want to be in the way of the guests!"

He wouldn't be indulged like in the Qin Feng City.

As for Xiang Yun, he had charged straight into the palace without stopping at all. The latter followed his memory, pa.s.sing through several courtyards, pa.s.sing through several drooping flower gates and pa.s.sing through many alleyways. Finally, he arrived at the courtyard where he had lived all those years ago.

Without the slightest hesitation, the latter charged straight into the bamboo forest. He then turned around and ran like he was running a hundred meters. He rushed into the corner and set up a toilet in the bamboo forest!

"Rumble!"

However, what he did not know was that when he rushed into the courtyard, a round-faced maid, dressed in green, with a haughty expression, and a pearl hairpin, led seven or eight maids and maids to the entrance.

The round-faced maidservant turned to look at the maidservants and said, "The Seventh Princess' clothes are thin and soft, as well as the arrangements for was.h.i.+ng and dining. Have you chosen the place where the Princess would appreciate the snow?"

"It has been arranged!" Amongst the servants, a few of the maids replied obediently.

"Mm." The round-faced maid nodded and said, "Right, the two of you go bring a few buckets of water and place it around the courtyard. The northwest weather is dry and cold, and the Seventh Princess is used to the south weather.

"Yes sir!" Hearing this, the two servants immediately turned around to fetch water.

The round-faced maidservant then instructed the other maidservants, "All of you, stand guard at the entrance of the courtyard." Then, the round-faced maidservant immediately said to the other maidservants, "All of you, stand guard at the entrance of the courtyard.

"Yes sir!" The maidservants did not dare to hesitate and hurriedly nodded their heads. Then, they immediately stood outside the courtyard, waiting respectfully on both sides.

The round-faced maid nodded and then relaxed. At this moment, she still needed to go to the Mansion of the Duke Shoulder Palace to understand the arrangements for today's birthday banquet. She wanted to know the time and place, the order of seating, where her master should enter and where her master should sit!

The Duke's Mansion was really too big, almost comparable to the size of the imperial palace. This made the round-faced maid who was the Seventh Princess' personal servant feel both amazed and troubled.

However, it was only because the Prince Mansion was large enough that they were able to find such a beautiful and quiet courtyard for the princess to rest in. It was said that this courtyard had not been occupied for several years, and they did not know what kind of elegant person its previous owner was, for him to have such taste.

Xiang Yun, who had just emerged from the latrine, did not look too good. His face was somewhat blackened, carrying a hint of depression and confusion!

"Motherf * cker, how could it be so smelly, and so much at that. Could it be that there's something wrong with my body!?"

When Xiang Yun thought back to the latrine just now, the large amount of black objects that had been discharged from his body and reeked of a terrible stench, he could not help but feel a wave of nausea as well as some unease!

What he did not know was that after drinking a large amount of Five Poison Wine, not only had his body completely changed, the impurities had also been removed, and his originally sluggish blood and vital energy had also been replenished. Otherwise, he would not have simply been distracted by the carriage and his body would have been boiling hot like fire.

After three days of transformation, aside from the impurities expelled by the black smoke and piled up on the surface of his body, the impurities contained within Xiang Yun's body had all been acc.u.mulated within his body. The very day he woke up, he released them all through the latrine!

The current Xiang Yun's body could be said to be spotless, energetic, and full of energy and blood!

This resulted in Xiang Yun walking as though he was walking on a thin layer of ice frozen by the river.

Xiang Yun had walked directly towards his own room. The smell in the toilet just now had been unforgettable for him for his entire life, and even now he still felt a little nauseous. Even worse, his clothes had been stained by this smell, to the point that he had to take off his clothes and change into a new set of clothes due to his slight obsession with cleanliness!

Xiang Yun pushed open the door, entering the room he was so familiar with. He could not wait to take off his clothes, taking them off in an instant. His entire person was clean and relaxed!

"Sigh, I'm done!" The moment Xiang Yun took off his clothes, he thought of something that left him speechless. That was, he no longer had any spare clothes on him. His clothes were all in the carriages.

In this room, his clothes had been taken away several years ago. Although the house was still clean and tidy, it was obvious that someone cleaned it often, but there were no clothes that belonged to him at all.

However, if Xiang Yun were to put on the clothes that he had taken off just now, he really would not have the courage to do so. At the very least, he would not be able to pa.s.s the test in his heart.

The fire had not yet been ignited in the house. Now that Xiang Yun was stripped naked again, gooseb.u.mps immediately appeared all over his body, and he could not help but suck in a breath of cold air.

Thinking up to here, Xiang Yun did not care about anything else as he turned and ran naked into the room he had once slept in for countless nights.

Walking into the inner room, he saw that familiar large bed, with a layer of snow-white curtains separating it from the outside. At the corner of the curtains, there was a warm and clean thick quilt, causing Xiang Yun, who was already s.h.i.+vering, to speed up his footsteps.

Without the slightest bit of hesitation, Xiang Yun lifted the curtain and pulled open a corner of the blanket, his naked body like a mudfish as he dived in.

Upon entering his bed, Xiang Yun immediately felt a warm feeling enveloping his entire body. It was as if he had suddenly walked into a warm little house burning in a world of ice and snow!

"Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!" Xiang Yun couldn't help but let out an incomparably happy moan in his heart!

Even though he had slept in countless other brothels with all sorts of expensive quality beds, this was still the bed of his own courtyard in Silver City, which made him feel at ease in sleeping. After all, this was a memory he had of his childhood.

Xiang Yun could not help but close his eyes and take a deep breath, feeling the fragrance at the tip of his nose. It was like the scent of a virgin; although light and elegant, it was pure and moving, causing one's heart to tremble!

"What kind of scented sachet is this? How come I've never smelled it before? Could it be that the prince's mansion recently purchased it?" Xiang Yun guessed in his heart.

At the same time, he couldn't help but sigh in admiration. The taste of the palace was getting better and better. It could actually make his bed be filled with the fragrance of such a charming girl.

Xiang Yun's train of thoughts was stirred by the fragrance, and his body also reacted slightly, to the point where he had no choice but to reduce the friction with the quilt. He could only turn around and walk towards the inside of the bed.

With this turn of his body, Xiang Yun's hand shot out towards the inside of the bed!

However, when Xiang Yun extended his hand, what should have been resting on the surface of the bed instead fell onto a soft, supple, and warm surface. Even though it was covered by a thin silk-like surface, Xiang Yun could still feel the soft, smooth texture of the silk beneath it!
