Chapter 39 The Prince Has Become a Bad Person

Not far away, a young man in brocade clothes stood tall and straight, like a pine or bamboo, with a faint smile on his lips.

Lin Hao rolled over and walked over to greet Lin Xiaohua, holding her hand. "Is the prince going out?"

"No, I'm heading home."

"Oh." Lin Hao didn't know what to say for a moment.

There was nothing to talk about, and what she really wanted to talk about with Prince Jing couldn't be said out loud.

For example, if you say that your entire family will be executed, Prince Jing will think she is a fool.

In the awkward moment, Lin Hao caught a glimpse of a new face and found a way to start a conversation: "Did the prince change his servant?"

Qi Shuo glanced at Chang Ning and said with a smile, "Second Miss Lin has good eyesight."

Lin Hao's mouth twitched.

They are two living people and they are not twins, so how can you not tell them apart?

This can also praise her for her good vision. She suspects that Prince Jing can make money by praising people!

Just as he was complaining in his heart, he suddenly heard Qi Shuo ask, "Miss Lin Er... have you offended anyone recently?"

Lin Hao looked at Qi Shuo in surprise.

"Why do you ask this, Prince?"

Qi Shuo was silent for a moment, then whispered, "Someone is following Miss Lin Er."

Lin Hao was surprised.

She was surprised, of course not because someone was following her, but because of how Prince Jing found out.

She had some understanding of Du Qing's ability to track people, at least it was difficult for ordinary people to detect.

She discovered Du Qing not because she felt someone was following her, but because of her understanding of the teacher.

So what about Prince Jing?

Lin Hao turned his head to look at the young man walking beside him.

The early summer sunshine was quite gentle, sparsely falling on him. His already fair face was like delicate porcelain, cold white jade, with a kind of fragile exquisiteness.

How could a person who has been in poor health for a long time and suffers from heart disease be so sensitive?

"Cough cough." Qi Shuo put his fist to his lips and coughed twice.

Lin Hao suppressed his doubts and asked, "Is the prince okay?"

Qi Shuo smiled and said, "I caught a cold last night, but it's nothing serious. Maybe it's because I've been used to being quiet since I was a child, so I developed a good habit of observation. I just accidentally discovered that someone was following Miss Lin Er."

I see.

Lin Hao thought about how she had been mute since childhood and that she was different from other girls in some ways, so she agreed with Qi Shuo's explanation.

"Miss Lin Er, aren't you afraid?"

Lin Hao saw the confusion in Qi Shuo's eyes and said calmly, "I'm very scared."

Qi Shuo: If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he would have believed it.

Lin Hao frowned. "But I'm afraid if I show it, the person following me will know that I know he's following me, and that would alert the enemy."

"Miss Lin Er has been very thoughtful. Do you have any suspicions?"

Lin Hao shook his head, a little distressed: "No, I can't think of who I offended."

She appreciated Prince Jing's kindness, but she didn't want him to notice the teacher's existence.

"Miss Lin Er had better talk to the elders at home and don't go out alone in the future."

"Thank you, Prince." As they spoke, they had already arrived at the gate of the general's mansion. Lin Hao thanked him and said goodbye to Qi Shuo while holding Lin Xiaohua's hand.

Qi Shuo watched Lin Hao walk in and told Chang Ning, "When Xuan Yi comes back, tell him to come see me immediately."

"yes."

As Qi Shuo strode towards Prince Jing's Mansion, Changning quietly looked in the direction of the General's Mansion with a thoughtful expression.

The prince was clearly about to go out just now, but when he met Miss Lin Er, he said he wanted to go home. I guess he wanted to say a few words to Miss Lin Er.

Changning laughed.

He finally understood why Changshun stayed at home.

When Xuanyi came back to report, it was almost evening.

Qi Shuo stood by the window of the study, and outside the window was the sky full of sunset glow.

"Have you found out the identity of the person who followed Miss Lin Er?"

Xuan Yi bowed his head and clasped his fists: "I am incompetent and lost the person."

"Lost?" Qi Shuo's face darkened slightly. "Tell me in detail."

Anyone who can get rid of Xuan Yi is definitely not a simple person.

"That man first inquired about the general's residence, then headed east. I followed him and gradually realized he was going in circles." Xuan Yi showed a guilty look, "He should have noticed I was following him by then. He kept going around for a long time, and he found an opportunity to create a disturbance and get rid of me..."

After listening to Xuan Yi's story, Qi Shuo rubbed his brows and said, "This person must have received special training."

Why did Miss Lin Er provoke such a person?

Inquire about the situation in the general's mansion... In other words, the other party did not know Miss Lin Er, or did not know her at all.

What happened in the General's Mansion a few days ago has caused a lot of buzz. Anyone who knows that Miss Lin Er is from the General's Mansion doesn't need to inquire specifically.

From this point of view, Miss Lin Er is very likely to have gotten into trouble today.

If you want to find out the other person's identity, you still have to ask Miss Lin Er where she went today, who she met, and whether anything special happened.

"You should step back first."

Xuan Yi did not move: "I just received some news and need to report it to the prince."

"Is it about that young performing artist?"

Xuanyi's eyes flashed with surprise. "Exactly. The young performer's name is Xiaofeng. Today he joined an acrobatic troupe called the Ruyi Troupe. The Ruyi Troupe is quite famous in Beijing and is often invited by wealthy families to perform as entertainers."

Ruyi Class - it seems I was not mistaken.

"Keep having people keep an eye on it."

"Yes." Xuan Yi bowed and retreated.

Qi Shuo turned around and looked towards the horizon.

The red glow on the horizon turned dim and it was getting late.

If you want to see Miss Lin Er, you can only wait until tomorrow.

Qi Shuo walked out of the study and walked aimlessly, and unknowingly arrived at the back wall of the garden.

On the other side of the wall is the general's mansion.

It was said that the General's Mansion and Prince Jing's Mansion were originally one large house, the residence of the previous regent. But now, with a wall separating the two houses, it was not so easy for them to meet.

Qi Shuo raised his head slightly and stared at the wall that showed signs of time. As if possessed by a ghost, he jumped up and grabbed the top of the wall with both hands.

"Prince!" Changshun, who was following behind, was shocked and ran over in a panic, "What are you doing?"

On the other side of the wall, the grass and trees are lush and the flowers are in full bloom, just like the scenery on this side of Prince Jing's Mansion.

Miss Lin Er is not here.

This result was not unexpected. Qi Shuo's hand loosened and fell back to the ground.

Changshun rushed over and asked, "Prince, are you okay? How can you climb the wall without any problems? What if you fall?"

"Exercise." After Qi Shuo said that, he was too lazy to pay attention to the chattering servant and walked back.

Exercise?

Changshun followed Qi Shuo and looked back.

A swallow happened to fly from the other side of the wall and landed on the top of the wall. Immediately afterwards, another swallow flew over and rubbed its ear to ear with the first swallow.

A scene suddenly emerged in Changshun's mind: Miss Lin climbed up the wall, followed by the prince, and then the two of them flew like swallows -

Changshun's face changed and he shook his head vigorously.

So scary!

When they returned to the yard, Changshun sat next to Changning and sighed.

"Changshun, why do you look so worried?"

Changshun glanced at the door and lowered his voice: "I'm telling you, the prince has become a bad boy."
