Chapter 301: Compromise and Seek Peace
Yu Huailin held Song Miqiu's hand, and the warmth made Song Miqiu's calm heart start to beat again.
"Where are we going?" Song Miqiu was puzzled because Yu Huailin had led her a long way.
"We're almost there. Are you tired? Do you want me to carry you?" Yu Huailin thought Song Miqiu couldn't walk anymore.
Song Miqiu shook her head repeatedly, fearing that Yu Huailin would carry her on his back again like last time.
"No, no, I just want to know where you want me to go?"
"I want to take you to see the old eunuch. He's settled in now, but I wonder how he's doing?"
Yu Huailin held Song Miqiu's hand even tighter. When Song Miqiu tried to pull away, Yu Huailin held on even tighter. Song Miqiu finally relaxed and let Yu Huailin hold her hand.
The mansion in front of her was very grand, with two large lions at the entrance. Song Miqiu wondered how this old eunuch could live in such a nice house, considering how miserable his life was at the imperial mausoleum last time.
This mansion was secretly purchased for the old eunuch by Yu Huailin.
"How come this old eunuch lives in such a nice house? Where did she get the money to buy this house?" Song Miqiu muttered under her breath.
Fearing that Song Miqiu might overthink things, Yu Huailin made an excuse and said, "The old eunuch had some savings, and I gave him some more money."
"I see." Song Miqiu didn't think much of it.
"Knock knock..." Yu Huailin knocked on the door.
After waiting for a long time, I heard footsteps coming from inside the gate.
The old eunuch opened the door and saw that Yu Huailin and Song Miqiu had smiles plastered on their faces.
"Young master, what brings you here?" The old eunuch hurriedly invited them into the house.
Yu Huailin held Song Miqiu's hand tightly, showing no intention of letting go. Song Miqiu tried to pull her hand away, but the more she tried, the tighter Yu Huailin gripped it.
"You two rest for a bit. I'll have the kitchen prepare something for you to eat right now," the old eunuch said warmly.
The old eunuch also noticed that Yu Huailin was holding Song Miqiu's hand the whole time, and he was a little unhappy. How could his prince, a dragon among men, be holding the hand of this old woman, Song Miqiu?
An old eunuch, after all, is someone who has lived most of his life, so even if he is dissatisfied, he will not show it on his face.
Soon the servants stopped coming, and a lot of pastries were brought out.
The old eunuch presented the pastries to Song Miqiu with a smile and said, "Thank you for saving my life. Please eat something first. I have something to say to the young master."
Song Miqiu nodded and accepted the pastries.
The old eunuch led Yu Huailin to the study and said...
"My lord, this old servant is willing to help you restore the kingdom, which is a matter of great importance."
Yu Huailin disagreed somewhat, because the old eunuch was quite old and he was afraid something might go wrong.
"Just live a good and peaceful old age, leave everything else to me."
"Young master, are you saying that your servant is useless?"
Yu Huailin didn't mean that; he just thought that the man should enjoy a good life and shouldn't be living a life on the edge of a knife with him.
"No, I just want you to live a good life."
The old eunuch became more and more agitated as he spoke.
“Young master, if you don’t agree, I will kill myself right now by smashing my head against this wall. Since I can’t help you anyway, there’s no point in me living.”
Seeing the old woman's persistence, Yu Huailin had no choice but to reluctantly accept it.
"it is good……"
The old eunuch immediately said with tears in his eyes, "I will definitely serve you, young master, with all my heart."
The old eunuch thought back to what had just happened. Yu Huailin, holding Song Miqiu's hand, didn't know how to start the conversation, but after thinking for a moment, he decided he still needed to get to the bottom of things.
"Your Highness is a dragon among men, of immeasurable nobility. Your Highness will be the ruler of the world in the future."
Yu Huailin didn't quite understand what the old eunuch meant by those words.
"Just say what you have to say."
"Then this old servant will speak frankly. Your Highness does not need to humble yourself and fawn over Song Miqiu now." The old eunuch felt a little sorry for Yu Huailin, who had to serve an old woman just to survive.
Yu Huailin was both amused and exasperated. Now, everyone outside thought he relied on Song Miqiu, and even those close to him had this misunderstanding.
"It's not that this old servant is being nosy, but Your Highness is so handsome. As for Song Miqiu, she's just an old woman. At most, Your Highness can give her some money and tell her to stay away from you."
In the old eunuch's mind, it was Song Miqiu who forced Huailin.
Yu Huailin didn't know how to explain to the old eunuch, so he could only say, "Song Miqiu is very good to me, and besides, I have no intention of leaving."
The old eunuch was very puzzled: "Your Highness, are you out of your mind? Song Miqiu is an old woman. There are so many beautiful women in the world. You wouldn't have fallen for an old woman, would you?"
The old eunuch was very excited. His Highness was one in a million, so he couldn't fall for an old woman. He had to let the imperial grandson see his true taste as soon as possible.
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing." Yu Huailin didn't want to explain his relationship with Song Miqiu too much.
"Your Highness, you must think this over carefully." The old eunuch is not worried about restoring the kingdom, but rather whether Your Highness truly likes Song Miqiu.
"You don't need to worry about my affairs." Yu Huailin emphasized, indicating that he would handle his own matters.
The old eunuch thought that this matter couldn't be rushed, but then he thought again and decided to leave it at that, as he had a solution in mind.
"Alright, Your Highness, this old servant will not inquire further about your affairs."
"Okay, I'll head out now. I'll let you know if I need you regarding the restoration of the kingdom."
Yu Huailin agreed, pushed open the door, and planned to go find Song Miqiu.
The old eunuch pondered for a long time in the room, then immediately ordered someone to fetch a person.
Yu Huailin was halfway there when he heard the old eunuch shouting loudly behind him.
"Your Highness, don't go. These are documents from the previous dynasty. Take a look and see if they are of any use." The old eunuch brought out a pile of documents.
Upon hearing that it was a document from the previous dynasty, Yu Huailin became interested and took the document to his study to read it.
"Your Highness, please go see this old servant first. I'll go prepare some gifts for you to take back now."
"Hmm..." Yu Huailin said one word, then turned around and took the documents to the study.
Song Miqiu sat alone in the main room, eating and drinking tea. She couldn't believe that the old eunuch was living such a good life, with such a big house and so many people serving him.
"That old eunuch is really rich. I really underestimated him before."
Suddenly, a woman walked in through the door. She was wearing a light purple dress, her hair was tied up with a simple beaded flower, and two strands of hair on her cheeks fluttered in the wind. She had a fair face and a delicate figure. As she walked in step by step, the hair ornament on her head made a soft sound.
The woman covered her face and smiled, saying, "Really?"
Song Miqiu stared at the woman in front of him. To be honest, this woman was comparable to Consort Li and Consort Lin.
Every movement exudes charm, and every expression is captivating.
"Who are you?" Song Miqiu asked the woman in front of him, regaining his senses.
