Chapter 165 Is the prince such a dirty person in your mind?

Since he had announced to the public that he had cured Mo Jinchuan's legs, even if his legs no longer needed medication, he still had to save face.

After Song Yanxi had eaten and drunk her fill, she played a few games of chess with Mo Jinchuan, drank two cups of tea, and then stood up to say goodbye.

I don't know if her chess skills have really improved recently, or if His Royal Highness Prince Jin deliberately gave her a handicap, but she narrowly won one game and tied the other.

When I return to Beijing one day, I must show off my skills in front of my grandfather and third uncle.

Thinking of her family, Song Yanxi's steps became lighter.

But I didn't expect that as soon as I went out, I would meet two pairs of eyes shining brightly in the night.

Song Yanxi paused, her brows furrowed slightly, "Why are you still kneeling?"

Half an hour has already passed. Being loyal is a good thing, but there is no need to be so stubborn.

Just as Qiu Zongping was about to say something, he saw An Yi, who was kneeling beside him, stand up quickly and stretch out his hand towards him with a grin.

Seeing that he was still stunned, An Yi said angrily, "You don't want your legs anymore, right?"

"But Your Majesty..."

"But what but? Listen to the girl!"

An Yi interrupted Qiu Zongping and pulled him up without saying a word.

His knees left the ground and Qiu Zongping gasped in pain. His legs were shaking slightly and he was obviously unsteady on his feet.

An frowned, "Did you fall when you were climbing over the wall just now?"

Qiu Zongping nodded somewhat embarrassedly.

This yard hasn't been inhabited for over two years. The tiles on the wall are covered in moss, and it rained last night, making it slippery...

Climbing over the wall is not what a gentleman does, and he actually fell down like a coward. If this gets out, wouldn't it be a disgrace to the prince?

Seeing Qiu Zongping staring at Song Yanxi with a frown, An Yi patted his shoulder and said, "Don't worry, the young lady is not a gossip."

"Girl?" Qiu Zongping frowned even tighter.

He actually wanted to ask when that princess was here just now, but it was inconvenient to do so because of the identities of the two people.

This Princess Yong'an is obviously the wife of General Lin Tingfeng. Even if she has taken care of the prince along the way and is familiar with her, she should at least be called Madam.

Besides, isn’t the word “girl” always used to refer to unmarried women?

An Yi wanted to kick him again, but he raised his leg and then put it down again. He lowered his voice and said, "Just follow me and shout. Why so much nonsense?"

Qiu Zongping pursed his lips, bowed to Song Yanxi, and said in a resounding voice, "This general greets the princess."

"You brat!" An raised his hand and slapped him on the back of the head.

Noticing Song Yanxi's disapproving look, An Yi explained, "Don't worry, Princess. These guys are tough and strong, they can't be broken."

As he spoke, he added, "Those two guys should have been sent out for rotation. Let them come to see the princess after they return from rotation."

Hearing this, Qiu Zongping's face turned even darker.

However, after not seeing each other for more than two years, how come Brother An's vigilance has become so lax that he is willing to casually reveal all the confidants left by the prince in the border town?

Did he forget that Lin Tingfeng became the commander of the border town by taking advantage of someone's misfortune?

If it weren't for the elite soldiers selected by the prince, let alone repeatedly defeating the Liang army and making great military achievements and being promoted three levels, he would not even be qualified to be a general defending the city.

Princess Yong'an is his wife, and they are one body.

Then he would turn around and tell all this to his husband...

Qiu Zongping was about to say something when An Yi glared at him.

The next moment, he said, "I'll take the girl back to rest. Xi Lin will arrive the next evening at the latest."

Song Yanxi declined politely, "Don't bother, I remember the courtyard where the military doctor lives, I can go back by myself.

As for Doctor Xilin, let him live with the prince so that he can be taken care of more conveniently."

Qiu Zongping was secretly shocked.

This princess even knew about Xi Lin's existence.

The prince actually trusts her so much?

Before An Yi could speak, Qiu Zongping spoke first, "I'm on my way, so I'll give Princess Yong'an a visit."

"When did you start living in the General's Mansion?"

"Yesterday."

Thinking that this boy's temperament would not allow him to lie, An Yi solemnly instructed: "Make sure to send the girl to the door of her room."

Qiu Zongping nodded and said to Song Yanxi expressionlessly, "Princess, please."

After he said that, he turned and walked away, not even giving An Yi a chance to kick him.

An Yi smiled at Song Yanxi and lowered his voice and said, "This kid is stubborn and follows Master Qiu. Miss, don't bother with him."

"How could that be? I actually think this is a good personality. One is one and two is two. He doesn't have that many twists and turns."

If Song Yanxi hadn't said it seriously, without any intention of teasing, An Yi might have thought she was being sarcastic.

Not far away, Qiu Zongping, who had stopped and waited, snorted softly after hearing these words.

What's the use of saying nice things? She will always be a hidden danger if she stays with the prince.

There was no conversation along the way until they arrived at the courtyard where the military doctor lived. Qiu Zongping then said with a cold face, "The princess is a married woman after all. Although she is a military doctor, she must always remember her identity."

Song Yanxi frowned slightly, "General Qiu, do you have any misunderstandings about me?"

"Misunderstanding?" Qiu Zongping twitched his lips sarcastically, his gaze falling on her fox fur coat. He closed his eyes and said, "I'm a harsh person, so I won't say anything. I just hope that the princess will remember her status and respect herself."

After he finished speaking, he turned and left, as if he didn't want to say even a single extra word to her.

Song Yanxi, unwilling to bear the reputation of being disrespectful, stopped him and said, "General Qiu and I only met for the first time today. We haven't even exchanged a few words yet. You are judging him based on appearance. That's too arbitrary."

Her chest heaved rapidly due to her emotional fluctuations, her voice was tinged with anger, but every word of her question was clear and could not be ignored.

Qiu Zongping stopped and said without turning his head, "All the fur on your fox coat was hunted by His Royal Highness Prince Jin two winters ago."

White foxes are already rare in the mountains, and those of this kind with pure white fur without any impurities are even rarer.

If you want to collect all the clothes in one winter, you may not be able to do so even if you search all the fox holes in the nearby hills for a hundred miles.

At that time, the brothers had discussed it privately, saying that the prince would go to the mountains whenever he had free time, and that he might have fallen in love with a girl from a family in the city and was preparing to propose marriage around the New Year.

But they waited and waited, and until the prince returned to the capital injured, no woman appeared by his side.

They left in a hurry and forgot to take many things with them, including the fox fur coat. However, the prince remembered this one and it is still draped over her.

How do you ask him to calm down?

During the two years he had been in the Hushan Camp, he knew he had no face to see the prince, so he could only inquire about the news about the Jin Palace in private, hoping that a gentle and virtuous princess would take good care of the prince and the children on their behalf.

She doesn't need to have a distinguished family background, or even be very smart...

But no matter what, she can't be a married woman!

Song Yanxi suppressed her shock and said calmly, "I've always had poor health and can't stand the cold. Your Highness is just being respectful."

She asked Qiu Zongping, "You followed the prince for a while before. Could it be that he is such a filthy person in your mind?"
