"Miss, just say what you want to say." Shen Qing supported her head and put down the book in her hand helplessly.

Her eyes looked like they were burning holes in her.

“Shen Qing, you should speak frankly.”

Shen Qing blinked innocently: "I have nothing to say."

"What happened between you and Jiang Zhuo? What did Chen Jing talk to you about? Did you assassinate the prince?" Bai Runyi asked in a low voice.

"Lord Jiang..." Shen Qing murmured with a smile, then looked at Bai Runyi, "Love at first sight."

"really?"

"It should be."

Bai Runyi angrily hit Shen Qing and looked at her speechlessly.

What do you mean by should?

"Hmm... probably?" Shen Qing thought about it and changed the word.

"Oh, let's skip Jiang Zhuo for now. What did Chen Jing say to you again?"

What should? Probably. There was not a single truth in Shen Qing's mouth.

"Nothing much, just a few casual chats."

"..." Bai Runyi looked at Shen Qing suspiciously, "You won't reconcile with her, and then the two of you will unite to isolate me, right?"

"No, my lady, what are you thinking about?"

Bai Runyi, a woman that even Shen Qing couldn't figure out.

The train of thought is clear but simple, and I can't think of anything deeper.

"Then why didn't you tell me what she told you?"

Bai Runyi felt really aggrieved. Shen Qing had so many secrets, but she didn't tell any of them.

"Actually, I was the one who went to find her." Chen Qing simply told Bai Runyi the truth. "I deliberately went to find her and told her that the hunting grounds were very dangerous and that she could be killed easily if she wasn't careful. She was worried about Murong Zhi, so she asked Rong Qing to protect him, but Rong Qing was intercepted and killed."

"The one who assassinated the prince couldn't really be you, right?"

"Of course not!"

"It's already this late, just tell me the truth, I will help you hide it."

"It's really not me!"

How come she doesn't believe me even though I'm telling you the truth?

Bai Runyi nodded doubtfully: "Okay, I'll believe you for now."

"Thank you, Miss!" Shen Qing picked up the book again. Should Bai Run let her go this time?

"Then again, were you really in love with Jiang Zhuo at first sight? I heard he's ruthless, murderous, insane, violent, and... a bit of a show-off!"

Tsk tsk, Jiang Zhuo…his reputation isn’t very good.

"Knock, knock, knock." Qingge knocked on the carriage window, "Miss, Lord Jiang wants to talk to you."

Bai Runyi glanced at Shen Qing in silence and swallowed quietly.

He won't hear it, right?

Chen Qing patted Bai Runyi's head twice, lifted the curtain, and just saw Jiang Zhuo riding a horse beside him.

"Princess, I just picked these in the woods." Jiang Zhuo held a handful of bright red wild fruits in his hand. "They taste good. Would you like to try some?"

"Thank you, Master Jiang."

"Princess, I am a good person."

When Jiang Zhuo said this, Bai Runyi, who was hiding in the carriage, felt his heart tremble.

Damn it! He heard it!

What should she do? Could Jiang Zhuo die inexplicably? After all, she hadn't lived long enough.

"certainly."

Chen Qing lowered the carriage curtain, placed the wild fruits on the low table, and motioned Bai Run to have a taste.

"Isn't it poisonous?"

"No." Shen Qing affirmed, "Jiang Zhuo must have tasted it, otherwise he wouldn't have picked it."

"I mean..."

Would he take the opportunity to poison her? After all, she had just scolded him.

Shen Qing pondered for a moment and said, "It's possible. After all, he will never give up."

Bai Runyi glanced at the red wild fruit. The more she looked at it, the scarier it seemed to her. She would never eat it!

Otherwise, I will never see Wen Xingzhi again in this life...

After staggering for several hours, we finally arrived safely in the capital.

Shen Jianshan and others stopped Murong Zhi at the gate of the palace.

“Your Highness, Shen Jing is still the daughter of the General’s Mansion after all. Please allow me to take her home.”

"General Shen, I can't let her go back. The general's mansion is not safe for her." Murong Zhi said in a cold voice.

"The General's Mansion is her home. If the General's Mansion is not safe, where else can be safe? Your Highness, you have no reason to place my daughter under house arrest!"

There is no such thing in the world!

"I will not bother with you because of General Shen's hard work and great contributions. But as for Shen Jing, I am the only one who will protect her well!" Murong Zhi said and turned to leave. Rong Xuan stopped Shen Jianshan who wanted to say something.

Shen Qing was shocked when he saw this scene.

Murong Zhi...amazing!

Being cool is just his protective color, being sick is his ultimate weapon!

Returning to the General's Mansion, Shen Qing had just gotten off the carriage when she saw Shen Jianshan turn his head to look at her. He looked a little tired and said, "Qingqing, go back and have a good rest first. Dad still has important things to deal with."

Shen Qing nodded slightly and replied softly, "Yes, father."

Afterwards, Shen Jianshan hurried towards the inner courtyard. He wanted to discuss this matter with Cheng Xue.

Shen Qing twisted her waist, feeling relaxed both physically and mentally. She glanced at the figure around the corner as if inadvertently, a sly smile curling up at the corner of her mouth.

"By the way, how's my donkey?"

That's the 'orphan' of Qingshan Temple!

"The groom has been taking care of it."

There was nothing else to do, so Shen Qing followed Qingge to the stable to visit the donkey.

When I saw it, it was as if I saw the scene when Scar just brought it back.

It seems like it was just yesterday.

"Miss, the smell here is pungent. Why are you here?" The groom Yang Da saw Shen Qing coming and hurried over.

"Is it still obedient?" Shen Qing's eyes fell on the donkey.
