Chapter 433
Although Eunuch Wu did not know why his prince wanted the princess to come.However, the most pressing matter at hand was to hurry up and find her.
Eunuch Wu glanced at Zhou Zuo, who was being beaten not far away.
He shivered.
He had better hurry and find her.
Otherwise, he might be the next one to be beaten.
Thinking this, Eunuch Wu hurried toward Princess Fuan's courtyard.
However, he hadn't gone far when he bumped into a beautiful woman.
"Eunuch Wu, where are you going in such a hurry?"
The person speaking was Prince Lanhuai's new favorite, Lanhua.
"Oh, it's Concubine Lanhua. Your servant is following the prince's orders to invite Princess Fuan over."
Seeing Lanhua, Eunuch Wu quickly smiled and spoke.
The person in front of him was the prince's new favorite.
Taking advantage of the prince's affection for her, Eunuch Wu was naturally willing to offer a few more smiles.
After all, if he ever made a mistake, he would count on Concubine Lanhua to put in a good word for him with the prince.
After all, pillow talk was very important.
"Is that so? I wonder what business the prince has with the princess?" Lanhua asked with a curious look.
"Concubine Lanhua, your servant does not know about this. However, the prince probably has some urgent matter and needs to see the princess," Eunuch Wu said with a troubled expression.
"I see. Then Eunuch Wu, please hurry. Don't delay the prince's affairs," Lanhua quickly said, looking understanding.
"Your servant takes his leave."
After saying that, Eunuch Wu hurried away.
"Miss, we have been everywhere we can go in this manor, but we haven't heard any news about your sister," the maid Xi'er whispered in Lanhua's ear.
"I know. In this manor, apart from the princess consort's courtyard, the only place we haven't been to is Princess Fuan's courtyard." Lanhua looked in the direction where Eunuch Wu had disappeared.
She fell into deep thought. Her sister, Hehua, had not been heard from since she entered Prince Lanhuai's manor.
The reason she entered Prince Lanhuai's manor was to find her biological sister, Hehua.
But now, she had been in the manor for some time, and there was still no news of her sister. Even when they secretly asked people about her sister, no one had even heard the name.
Could it be that her sister didn't come to Prince Lanhuai's manor back then?
But that shouldn't be. She had personally watched her sister enter Prince Lanhuai's manor; she couldn't have been mistaken.
As for Princess Fuan's reputation, Lanhua had actually heard a bit about it.
It was just that since she entered the manor, the princess seemed to have been busy all the time, and they hadn't met yet.
Lanhua was not sure whether this person had anything to do with her sister's disappearance.
However, she felt that she still needed to meet Princess Fuan.
Thinking of this, Lanhua decided to go to Prince Lanhuai.
After all, wasn't Princess Fuan going to see Prince Lanhuai in a moment?
With this thought in mind, Lanhua acted upon it.
"Your Highness, what is happening here?"
Just as Lanhua arrived outside Prince Lanhuai's study, she saw several servants beating a man with wooden boards, and she shrank back in fear.
She felt a bit suspicious in her heart. Could it be that the prince had discovered what she was doing and was deliberately warning her like this?
But apart from having Xi'er secretly ask around, she hadn't done anything.
"Why are you here?" Prince Lanhuai was initially displeased when he heard the voice, but turning around and seeing his beloved concubine, his tone softened a bit.
However, Prince Lanhuai was not in a good mood at the moment and didn't have much patience to coax Lanhua.
"I missed Your Highness, so I came to see you. Who would have thought that right at the door, I would hear waves of wailing. I thought something had happened to Your Highness, and it scared me so much that my heart hasn't stopped pounding." Lanhua's frightened yet caring demeanor toward Prince Lanhuai actually improved his mood a bit.
"It's just a blind fool. Did it scare you?" Hearing this, Prince Lanhuai comfortably took Lanhua's hand and gently comforted her.
"I am fine. It is Your Highness who shouldn't harm your health over such trivial matters," Lanhua said with a considerate look.
"My Lan'er is truly an understanding flower." Prince Lanhuai was very satisfied with Lanhua's reaction.
He felt that this concubine really won his heart.
Lanhua nestled in Prince Lanhuai's arms, looking well-behaved, while hiding the hatred for him in her heart and eyes.
"Did Father call me here just to watch you being affectionate with a concubine?"
Princess Fuan had just arrived and saw the scene of Prince Lanhuai holding and comforting a woman. She immediately asked with a sarcastic expression.
Princess Fuan was full of hostility toward all the women in the manor except for her mother, the princess consort.
After all, those concubines were all sluts trying to steal her mother's favor!
"Your Highness!" Hearing this, Lanhua tried to break free from Prince Lanhuai's embrace in panic.
"It's fine!" Prince Lanhuai first comforted Lanhua, and then looked at Princess Fuan with a displeased expression.
"Is this how you speak to your father?" Prince Lanhuai looked at his daughter with dissatisfaction.
When she just came in, she didn't even greet him first but instead criticized him.
Was there really such a daughter in the world?
Prince Lanhuai was already in a bad mood today, and facing Princess Fuan's accusations now made him even more displeased.
"Your servant greets the princess!" Lanhua, however, obediently bowed to Princess Fuan.
After all, in Prince Lanhuai's eyes, she was an obedient and sensible concubine.
"What kind of thing are you!" Princess Fuan stepped forward with a dissatisfied look and slapped Lanhua across the face.
"Ah!" Lanhua did not dodge, but fell to the ground after Princess Fuan hit her.
"Nonsense, what are you doing?" Prince Lanhuai grabbed Princess Fuan without thinking.
"Father, she is seducing you!" At this moment, Princess Fuan wished she could step forward and scratch Lanhua's face so she wouldn't seduce her father anymore.
"Insolent! She is my concubine, is it your place to lay a hand on her?" Prince Lanhuai said in dissatisfaction.
"Your Highness, I am fine. Please do not let a rift form between you and the princess because of me." Lanhua, with red eyes, tugged at the hem of Prince Lanhuai's clothes and whispered.
"Enough, she slapped your face like that, and you are still speaking up for her." Hearing this, Prince Lanhuai pulled Lanhua up with heartache.
He thought to himself that the princess consort had actually taught their daughter to be so domineering. It seemed he needed to have a good talk with the princess consort.
Otherwise, with such a temper, wouldn't she cause trouble for the Third Prince when she went to the Qinling Kingdom?
Thinking of this, Prince Lanhuai glared at his daughter in dissatisfaction.
Princess Fuan's heart skipped a beat. For some reason, she felt that her father's glance at her was somewhat dark and unclear.
"This matter is my fault. I shouldn't have provoked the princess's displeasure." Lanhua lowered her head, acting as if she were in the wrong.
"Father, don't be fooled by her! She is just putting on an act in front of you on purpose!" Princess Fuan's face darkened. Since when did her father have such a manipulative two-faced bitch by his side without her knowing?
