Chapter 46: Climbing the Wall

Chen Chuo just said this deliberately to win the girl's sympathy, but he didn't expect the girl to say such words to him.

In an instant, he felt that the air around him was still, and the only thing left in his world was the girl in front of him who was more beautiful than the moonlight tonight.

Ling Qingyan didn't notice that behind her, Pei Wuyou's fingertips were about to cut her palm.

She always seemed so nice and generous, so generous that she showed the best kindness to everyone.

"Have you reported it to the police?" Ling Qingyan suddenly asked.

Chen Chuo hadn't actually recovered from his happiness yet, but soon a worried look appeared on his face again.

"I have reported it." Chen Chuo added, "The guards from the Duke's Mansion have all been dispatched, but there is still no news of my sister."

Ling Qingyan frowned, thinking of something, and said, "I'll send someone out to look for him. You go back first, and I'll think of a way. Don't worry, I will definitely bring Mansheng back."

Chen Chuo actually wanted to stay with Ling Qingyan and look for Chen Mansheng with her, but since the girl had already said so, he had no choice but to obey her. "Okay, then Your Highness, please protect yourself."

Ling Qingyan smiled and said, "I'm not that prone to getting into trouble, but you are. We still don't know why you kidnapped Mansheng. You should put a few more guards around you."

Facing the girl's concern, Chen Chuo's ears turned slightly red.

"Yes, Your Highness."

After Shen Chuo left, Ling Qingyan sent another group of people to search near the village outside Beijing.

Then she returned to her bedroom, changed her clothes, put on a veil, and prepared to go out quietly.

Unfortunately, Pei Wuyou bumped into him.

"It's so late, where are you going, sister?" Pei Wuyou's eyes were filled with confusion. "Sister, I've already sent someone to look for Miss Chen. The thieves were so bold as to kidnap Miss Chen, which shows that it's not safe outside. Sister, you can't ignore your own safety."

Pei Wuyou blocked her door, preventing her from leaving.

"Brother Pei, I haven't settled the score with you for tonight yet. Please move aside first. I really have something to go out for." Ling Qingyan said.

Several assassinations in the capital recently were carried out by Mu Xianzhi. Ling Qingyan suspected that this time it was also Mu Xianzhi's action. After all, when she went to visit Mansheng that day, she happened to meet Mu Xianzhi.

And that day, thieves broke into Chen's house.

Therefore, Ling Qingyan had reason to suspect that the Duke's Mansion had something Mu Xianzhi wanted. That madman might really have kidnapped Mansheng.

She wants to go there in person.

However, Pei Wuyou blocked her way, leaving her in a dilemma.

"Sister, you have done your best for the Duke's Mansion. Why do you still want to take such a risk? If you must leave the palace, it's okay. Take me with you. I can protect you." Pei Wuyou's clear eyes were filled with pleading.

Ling Qingyan: Guess why I was wearing all black and why I went out secretly.

She was going to the Taifu Mansion. Mu Xianzhi's identity was a secret, and she couldn't expose Mu Xianzhi's secret.

Mu Xianzhi would kill anyone who knew his secret, so she could only go to see him herself.

If Pei Wuyou followed him, wouldn't the male protagonist with the highest love value for her be gone?

She wouldn't allow that to happen!

Pei Wuyou was still blocking the door waiting for the girl's response.

Ling Qingyan raised her lips and smiled softly, "Okay."

Pei Wuyou showed joy when he got the answer. The next moment, the girl threw a handful of powder at him, and his head suddenly became dizzy and he fell down.

Ling Qingyan skillfully asked Xi Lan to help him onto the bed.

Fortunately, she had prepared something in advance that could help her knock Pei Wuyou down.

As Pei Wuyou's love value increases, he becomes more and more clingy, always staying by her side and influencing her to pursue other male protagonists.

Necessary time, necessary means.

Xiao Pei, sister is also considering your life.

Just treat it as a dream.

After all, Ling Qingyan always told him it was a dream.

Ling Qingyan put on a veil and successfully left the palace under the protection of her confidant.

Go straight to the Taifu Mansion.

Ling Qingyan originally wanted to sneak into the Taifu Mansion without being noticed, but she was caught as soon as she climbed over the wall.

"I'm not an assassin!" Ling Qingyan said immediately, fearing that they would kill her by mistake. "Give this to Master Mu, and he will meet me."

Ling Qingyan handed her jade pendant to the secret guard.

Before Mu Xianzhi's order came back, Ling Qingyan was captured in the backyard, waiting for her good tutor to rescue her.

Mu Xianzhi came out in person, wearing a black brocade robe with a waistband. When he saw Ling Qingyan, a smile appeared on his face.

Ling Qingyan only showed her eyes, but just by looking at those beautiful and lively eyes, Mu Xianzhi could recognize that it was his princess.

"Don't be rude to His Highness." Mu Xianzhi said.

The secret guard immediately let go of Ling Qingyan.

Mu Xianzhi walked closer to her. The people in the Taifu Mansion were all his confidants, and there were countless guards, both openly and secretly.

"Your Highness, you come to see me so late, are you here to ask the teacher for advice?" Mu Xianzi seemed to be in a good mood, his voice was leisurely.

Ling Qingyan was wearing a nightgown, all black, which matched his black clothes perfectly.

Mu Xianzhi felt better.

Okay, he wanted to draw a picture for the two of them right away to record it.

Of course, he would be happier if His Highness could cooperate with him to complete the last painting.

"I do have a question for you." Ling Qingyan glanced at the secret guards around her. "Are they listening?"

Mu Xianzhi crossed his arms over his chest, "They are all my confidants who know my secrets."

Although he said that, the next moment Mu Xianzhi still asked them to leave, leaving only the two of them in the yard.

"Although I can listen, I would rather be alone with Your Highness." Mu Xianzhi looked straight at the girl in front of him, took two steps closer to her, and took off the black veil covering his face without feeling offended at all.

Then, his smile widened.

He was in a good mood as he could see the girl's beautiful face before going to bed.

Ling Qingyan didn't have time to argue with him about this somewhat presumptuous behavior. She spoke frankly and asked directly, "Did you cause Mansheng's disappearance?"

The girl looked straight at Mu Xianzhi, not missing any emotion on his face, as if she could tell whether the man was lying or not.

"Don't look at me like that. I won't lie to you." Mu Xianzhi's eyebrows were filled with a smile, and he moved closer to her. "Forget it, it's not wrong to look at me like this."

He put his arm around her waist and lowered her with an aggressive gaze.

Mu Xianzhi's handsome face completely entered her eyes, and the two were so close that they could even feel each other's breath.

The breath is intertwined, extremely ambiguous.

"This way you can see more closely." Those eyes sparkled, and their gazes met. "Look into my eyes, Your Highness, and see if I am lying."

"I wasn't responsible for Chen Mansheng's disappearance."
