After being expelled from the mansion, I changed the dynasty by writing novels.

Chapter 247 5-piece chess

Xiao Yulan didn't know how to express her feelings. She couldn't just say right away, "I've been thinking about you all these years, I can't forget you, I live on my childhood memories, and I've been trying to find a way to stay in Bianjing to see you, just to explain how much I've missed you all these years."

Wouldn't that make him seem like a lecherous scoundrel, too frivolous? Besides, there are people inside, so it's not appropriate to say it out loud.

The reason I said those things before was because I thought I was about to die, and I thought that if I didn't say it now, I would never have the chance again. So I told him those things. Now it would be inappropriate to say them again.

While they were chatting, his wounds were stitched up.

Ye Yuwu suddenly remembered something and looked at him, "What happened when you said the origami cranes I gave you before were lost?"

Xiao Yulan paused for a moment before explaining the reason.

His ears turned red before he spoke, but they were hidden by his dark hair, so no one noticed his awkwardness.

"I carried it with me at all times, but unfortunately lost it during a major battle..." Thinking of this, he wanted to beat himself up. He knew that swords and spears were indiscriminate on the battlefield, and that people would not care about anything once a battle started. But he insisted on carrying the origami crane with him, which led to its loss. He could not find it no matter how hard he looked for it.

Whenever he thought of this, he felt extremely regretful and annoyed. At this moment, he looked up at Ye Yuwu, afraid that she would be angry with him for not properly keeping the things she gave him.

Fortunately, when he looked up, he found that Ye Yuwu seemed to be in a daze and showed no signs of being angry, so he slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

Ye Yuwu was lost in thought about the origami crane. It seemed that she couldn't find the answer by looking at Xiao Yulan's origami crane.

Her mind was in turmoil. Seeing that his wounds had been treated, she realized that the stitches and the physical pain had left him feeling very weak.

If this were an ordinary person, they would have fainted by now, but he managed to hold on until now, which shows that his physical strength is terrifying.

"You should rest. You've lost so much blood, you need to recuperate."

"Then will you leave?"

Ye Yuwu's eyes flickered twice, but quickly returned to calm.

"Lord Xuanping may not know that His Majesty has specially assigned me to stay at the border, so I will not be leaving here for the time being."

Xiao Yulan gave a weak, somewhat forced smile. She knew perfectly well what he meant, but she deliberately spoke vaguely to distance herself from the situation.

However, there's plenty of time in the future, and he shouldn't push people too hard.

Xiao Yulan finally collapsed onto the bed, exhausted, and fell asleep.

Everyone in the room breathed a sigh of relief, but before they could fully exhale, Ye Yuwu's casual remark made their hearts jump again.

"I don't want to hear about what happened inside the house today from other people's mouths..."

She looked around, and immediately someone said they wouldn't do that, so Ye Yuwu reluctantly nodded and let them out.

"It's amazing! Such a big wound, it actually healed!"

"Even Dr. Dong shook his head and said it was a matter of fate; the fever subsided the next day!"

“I personally witnessed Marquis Xuanping being carried into the General’s Mansion covered in blood, barely alive. Even a celestial being couldn’t save him. But now, less than ten days later, Marquis Xuanping is able to get out of bed!”

"You're exaggerating!"

"Hey, don't you believe me? Go and see for yourself in the courtyard of Marquis Xuanping, and you'll know whether what I said is true or not!"

Several servants were sweeping the mansion, and since no one was around, they started chatting quietly.

"Cough cough!" A cough suddenly came from behind them, startling them so much that they immediately turned around to look behind them in a panic.

"Manager!"

It turned out that the person who had been reminding them was the steward of the manor, but this steward was always strict. When he discovered that they were chatting, they were so frightened that they dared not say a word.

"Don't talk nonsense behind my back. If any of the distinguished guests in the manor hear you, they'll rip your tongues out!"

Upon hearing this, the servants trembled with fear, repeatedly saying, "We dare not."

After instructing the servants in the manor, the steward arrived at the room where Marquis Xuanping was staying.

At this moment, Xiao Yulan was almost fully recovered and could get out of bed—at least, that was what he thought.

When Ye Yuwu learned that he was going to get out of bed, she repeatedly told him to rest well in bed, otherwise he might develop a chronic illness.

He was initially unconvinced and wouldn't listen to Bai Zunyue's persuasion, but after Ye Yuwu spoke to him, he obediently lay down on the bed.

Bored while lying in bed, he often called Bai Zunyue and Su Wangyan to play chess with him.

Ye Yuwu would come occasionally, but she didn't know how to play Go and could only play Gomoku. She originally thought that Xiao Yulan didn't understand the rules, and she was thinking of explaining the rules to him. Unexpectedly, Xiao Yulan actually knew how to play.

Ye Yuwu held the white jade chess piece and stared into thought as she looked at the five black pieces that had been connected in front of her.

"This isn't fun! I'm not playing anymore!" Ye Yuwu complained, putting the chess pieces back in the chess basket, feeling resentful.

She thought she was going to stomp on a newbie, but instead she got stomped! She was furious, so angry she wanted to grind her teeth.

However, the moment she looked up, she saw someone with a handsome face and a smile, which made Ye Yuwu even angrier.

"I've finally gotten my revenge. You used to bully me because you didn't know how to play, but now the tables have turned."

Xiao Yulan was dressed in white, with hair as black as ink, sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, and his extremely handsome face was full of smiles.

Even when injured, he sat upright, like a pine tree. Even from a distance, you could smell the cedar scent and herbs on him.

If it weren't for his pale lips, one wouldn't immediately notice that he was injured.

Ye Yuwu was speechless and could only admit that she was not as skilled as others. Just then, Bai Zunyue walked in.

The atmosphere began to turn strange at this point. Ye Yuwu only wanted to escape this odd feeling. She said that she had to leave first and left without waiting for the other two to say anything.

"Look at you, you scared her away." Xiao Yulan put the chess pieces back into the chess basket, her eyes unreadable.

Bai Zunyue didn't speak, but frowned. Instead of responding to him, she said to herself, "Now that you're better, I have nothing to worry about."

Having known him for so long, Xiao Yulan naturally knew. Sensing something different in his tone, she paused, her hand holding the chess piece still, and looked up at him.

"what are you up to?"

Ye Yuwu rushed out of Xiao Yulan's room, but because she was looking down and thinking, she didn't notice the person in front of her and bumped into a hard chest. Her head hit the ground and she couldn't help but feel pain. She instinctively reached out and covered her forehead.

"How could you be so reckless?"
