With a "swish", the car curtain was pulled closed and Lu Yilan's cold voice was heard.

"Departure."

Bai Yunxiao swallowed his saliva, didn't dare to say anything more, and hurriedly slipped away to pass on the message.

The group finally set off again.

Because he didn't sleep well at night, the first thing Wensel did when he got into the carriage was to lean against the wall and close his eyes to rest.

Although Li Yuanxiao was also a man who knew how to enjoy life, his carriage was still far inferior to Lu Yilan's, whether it was the size, the decoration inside, or the comfort of the carriage, they were completely on a different level.

Wen Si'er sighed deeply and despised himself in his heart.

Don't indulge in pleasure, getting close to that dog man will make you unhappy!
The carriage shook all the way and only stopped for a short rest at noon. Wen Si'er was sore all over from the bumpy ride that she finally stopped to catch her breath. She lay down on the seat and fell into a deep sleep. She didn't even hear Ah Yun calling her for lunch.

Li Yuanxiao was naturally not much better off. After all, he was a young master who grew up in the capital. He had suffered a lot along the way. After stopping, he was unwilling to get out of the car and directly asked the servants to bring the meal up.

After Lu Yilan got off the carriage, his eyes first fell on the carriage behind him.

There was no movement inside for a long time. He frowned slightly and then asked Bai Yunxiao casually.

"Where are they?"

Bai Yunxiao felt bitter in his mouth, but he didn't dare not answer, so he had to say: "Your Majesty, they didn't come down, and Wen Chengming didn't even have time to eat lunch."

Lu Yilan's peach blossom eyes narrowed in an instant.

What were you talking about so intently that you didn't even have time to eat lunch?!

Lu Yilan didn't know where this inexplicable anger in his heart came from. He tried to sort out his thoughts, but found it was of no use.

He couldn't help glancing towards the carriage, and the anger in his heart grew stronger and stronger.

He snorted coldly and said, "Call Wen Chengming over and tell him that I have something important to discuss with you."

Bai Yunxiao turned away with a wooden face.

He said that he couldn't see through his own prince's thoughts before and thought that the prince was unfathomable, but just now, he swore that he finally understood what the prince was thinking.

He didn't want Wen Chengming and Minister Li to be in the same carriage. The prince was jealous!

This realization was like a bolt from the blue. No matter how much Bai Yunxiao deceived himself, it was of no avail. Various signs showed that the prince cared a lot about Wen Chengming!
Bai Yunxiao stood in front of Bai Yunxiao's carriage with an expression that could be described as sorrowful.

"Master Xiao Wen, the prince has something important to discuss with you. Please come over."

There was no sound from inside the carriage.

Bai Yunxiao stood and waited for a while, then spoke again with a frown on his face.

"Master Xiao Wen..."

With a "swish", the car curtain was pulled open, and Wen Si'er's face was full of resentment like a ghost.

There were dark circles under her eyes and her face showed no expression, but Bai Yunxiao inexplicably felt a chill down his spine and his legs subconsciously wanted to escape.

He swallowed hard, not daring to speak any more, and just waited in silence.

Wen Si'er was crazy and devastated inside, but she quickly adjusted herself.

Now compared with Lu Yilan, it's like fighting an arm against a thigh. There's nothing I can do even if I'm angry.

She exhaled, "Got it."

As she spoke, she straightened her hair bun which had been tilted when sleeping and jumped off the carriage.

"Wait for me, Master."

Li Yuanxiao followed suit and stuck his head out, trying to catch up as if he was afraid of being left behind.

He was also one of the accompanying officials, how could they discuss things behind his back? He wanted to make a contribution!

Bai Yunxiao took two people to see Lu Yilan.

Lu Yilan's first glance fell on Wen Si'er. His gaze paused inexplicably, and he actually felt a little guilty.

Wen Si'er looked like she hadn't rested well in her clothes, and her expression looked like she was saying "You'd better have something important to do." But when he saw Li Yuanxiao following behind him like a tail bug, Lu Yilan's face suddenly turned bad, and the trace of guilt disappeared instantly.

What a joke! What does he have to feel guilty about? He just wants to torture Wen Chengming. After all, he is Wen Sier's brother!
"Your Highness." The two of them saluted and stood there waiting for Lu Yilan's instructions.

But Lu Yilan just glanced at them indifferently and seemed to have nothing to say.

The veins on Wen Sier's forehead jumped, and he suppressed his temper and said, "What's the matter, Your Majesty?"

Lu Yilan flipped a page of the book leisurely and said calmly, "Nothing, I just think you two should go out and walk around more often. It's not good to stay in the carriage all the time."

Wen Si'er felt his brain go blank for a moment.

She had an urge to take out a needle and stab Lu Yilan to death.

She exhaled and smiled, "Is this what the prince asked us to come here to talk about?"

Lu Yilan raised his eyebrows in surprise, "I am concerned about the health of my subordinates. Is there any problem?"

Very good, no problem.

Wen Sier smiled, "No, if the prince has nothing to do, then I have something to report."

"Speak." Lu Yilan's mouth corners curled up slightly, and he seemed to be in a better mood.

Bai Yunxiao was amazed at the side, but he didn't quite understand what the prince was so happy about.

"I discussed the follow-up with Minister Li and decided to go to Xuzhou City first to gather information, and let the main force follow slowly behind to conceal our presence..."

Wen Si'er gave a brief account of their arrangements, and Lu Yilan understood her plan as soon as she opened her mouth.

A glimmer of approval flashed across his eyes.

Wen Chengming's consideration was relatively prudent. As long as the people in Xuzhou City thought that they were still walking slowly on the road, they would definitely relax their vigilance later. It was undoubtedly the best time to inquire about the news.

Lu Yilan nodded, "Okay, Your Majesty..."

Wen Sier immediately bowed and said, "Your Highness is wise! Then Minister Li and I will set out tomorrow. It's up to Your Highness to spread the news!"

Lu Yilan;...

He looked at the two of them with a half-smile, and there was a hint of danger in his eyes that was not easily detected.

"Wen Chengming, it seems that you and Minister Li get along very well."

"I was forced into this!"

“We hit it off right away.”

Two voices sounded at the same time. Wen Si'er looked at Li Yuanxiao with a smile on her face. Li Yuanxiao met her gaze and felt a chill on the back of his neck for some reason. He thought of his bet and curled his lips.

He pinched his nose and said, "Master Xiao Wen and I... share the same ideals."

"Haha, what a like-minded person." Lu Yilan put away the expression on his face, and his pair of dark eyes made it impossible to tell his emotion.

"Go."

Wen Si'er breathed a sigh of relief, thanked him quickly and left, taking Li Yuanxiao away.

After the two left, Lu Yilan's heavy gaze was still on them. Bai Yunxiao inexplicably felt that... someone was going to be in trouble.

At this time, a black shadow flashed and landed on the ground. Ye Jiu bowed and saluted, saying, "Your Majesty, there is news about the miracle doctor."

Lu Yilan's eyes flickered slightly, "Speak."

"I have heard that the miracle doctor has recently appeared in Yunshan."

Yunshan is close to Xuzhou City, which is exactly where they are going to pass through.

Lu Yilan narrowed his eyes slightly.
