Qin Wan nodded and continued, "I saw the governor flirting with the prefect today. What are they planning? They won't blatantly assassinate you, will they?"
Xie Qing sneered: "Why not? A group of people came tonight and committed suicide on the spot after being captured."
Qin Wan didn't hear anything, so she thought she was caught outside the post station, but...
Qin Wan fanned herself a little more vigorously, a little anxiously: "What are you going to do next, Crown Prince? Even if you dodge an assassination attempt like this once, there will be a second and a third. If we keep dodging, we won't be able to move forward."
She now understood why Xie Qing had returned to Beijing early in his previous life. If he hadn't left, the disaster relief work really couldn't go forward.
Xie Qing had already made a plan. He looked at Qin Wan and said solemnly, "It all depends on you from now on."
"Let me pretend to be you? It's not impossible, but I want some benefits." This was Qin Wan's first reaction. After all, as people who have lived a second life, they all cherish their lives.
She is not the real prince, and if she is exposed, the probability of her escaping is very high.
Xie Qing said, "Of course I will be out there, visiting everywhere to attract those assassins, and you will take the craftsmen to explore the water source."
Qin Wan was surprised: "Are all the craftsmen here?"
"A message came in the evening, and I estimate they should have arrived by now." Xie Qing spread out the map and told Qin Wan in detail which places might have water sources and how to explore them.
Qin Wan listened carefully. The two of them discussed for nearly two hours before she left Xie Qing's room.
As soon as Qin Wan opened the door, she saw Lu Yan walking up the stairs. She frowned, pretended not to see him, and walked towards her room.
Lu Yan spotted Qin Wan and quickly stepped forward to stop her. "I knew that the young man following the Crown Prince was you! Are you so impatient? Do you have to follow His Royal Highness the Crown Prince when he goes out to provide disaster relief?"
Qin Wan passed by Lu Yan and looked downstairs: "That's no match for the Pingyang Marquis. Even when he went out to provide disaster relief, he brought two beautiful women with him."
Lu Yan listened to Qin Wan's words, not only did he not get angry, but instead he felt an inexplicable excitement in his heart. He stared at Qin Wan with burning eyes: "You knew I was coming, so you followed the prince here, right? You did it on purpose, didn't you?"
???
Qin Wan looked at Lu Yan in disbelief: "Marquis Pingyang, do you want to listen to what you are saying?"
Seeing her reaction, Lu Yan became more certain of his guess. He stepped forward and grabbed Qin Wan's wrist: "I knew you'd always retreat in order to advance. You really can't let me go!"
"Look at you, wasn't it good enough to let Wan Yi come in? Now you're using such tactics, you're really bringing shame to your Qin family!"
Qin Wan struggled to break free from his grip, raised her hand and slapped him in the face without hesitation: "Marquis Pingyang, please take a piss and look in the mirror. I, Qin Lingjiang, wouldn't even give you a second glance even if I fell for a beggar!"
Qin Wan used all her strength in this slap, and it was particularly loud in the inn in the middle of the night.
Hearing the noise, Jia Yi Niang and Jia Yue, who were downstairs, hurried up and said, "My Lord!"
"Don't come over here."
Lu Yan licked his back teeth, which were loose, and the smell of blood instantly filled his mouth. Far from being angry, he even had an excited light in his eyes: "Look, I just said a few words, and you're angry, right? If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have done it in the first place."
Qin Wan was really irritated by him. Her pretty face flushed slightly as she angrily shouted, "If you're sick, go find a doctor and stop barking in front of me. I can't cure your narcissism and arrogance. Get out of here!"
Looking at the pretty and bright face in front of him, Lu Yan couldn't help but think of their childhood when they often played together. She had such a bold personality, which made her really likable.
At that time, I knew that she was my future wife and my heart was jumping with joy. When did I forget that?
Oh, by the way, it was on the training ground, and I never beat her.
Isn't it shameful for a man to be unable to beat his woman?
At that time, Lu Yan felt that Qin Wan didn't know how to be humble to her man, which brought shame to him.
So Lu Yan vowed to take in a few beautiful and gentle concubines to pamper them and let Qin Wan see that he, Lu Yan, did not want a girl with her personality.
Lu Yan wanted to tame her.
However, before the taming even began, the two were separated. When they met again, Qin Wan had grown into a graceful young lady, with a bold and dazzling look between her brows.
At that time, she didn't know that he had returned. She was galloping on horseback with the Qin sisters in the capital. His laughter was intoxicating.
Lu Yan originally thought that on their wedding night, he could let his wife see that he was now a handsome and vigorous man.
Who knew that when an imperial decree came down, he had already rushed to the border without having time to marry her.
Then, he met the gentle and considerate Bai Wanyi.
Lu Yan completely put Qin Wan behind him. Now it seems that although gentleness and kindness are fresh, in fact, he still likes her bold personality!
Lu Yan's eyes became more and more gentle, which made Qin Wan's hair stand on end. She took two steps back and didn't want to go back to her room anymore. She was going to hide in Xie Qing's room directly, but she was blocked by Lu Yan again.
He lowered his eyes and stared closely into Qin Wan's: "What are you running away from?"
"Of course I don't want to see you. I'm avoiding you."
Following the sound, the door opened from the inside. Xie Qing looked at Lu Yan coldly: "Marquis Pingyang, you are speaking so arrogantly in front of my door, slandering others' innocence. Do you think I am deaf?"
When Lu Yan saw Xie Qing, he immediately remembered Bai Wanyi's complaints to him. He clenched his fists and said, "Crown Prince, Your Highness, you are so lewd. It's a bit too much. First you harassed my wife, and now you're pestering my ex-wife. Is this how a crown prince behaves?"
Xie Qing looked at Lu Yan, his eyes darkening slightly. How could this good person, when faced with matters of the heart, his mind...
So what's the problem?
His expression remained impassive, but his words were filled with a hint of coldness: "Marquis Pingyang, you must understand that Miss Qin is your ex-wife. It is neither moral nor logical for you to interfere in her life."
"Also, you came with me to provide disaster relief. Remember your status and the responsibilities on your shoulders! If you continue to be so confused about the importance of things and act recklessly, don't blame me for being heartless!"
Lu Yan looked at Qin Wan standing behind Xie Qing, looking like a little wife. Blood rushed to his head. He stiffened his neck and said, "Your Highness, you are harassing my ex-wife! Please don't avoid my questions."
Xie Qing looked at him indifferently: "As long as she doesn't feel harassed, how can I be considered harassing her? It's Marquis Pingyang, you are the one who is pestering him now, right?"
Seeing that Xie Qing was avoiding the main issue and recalling Bai Wanyi's crying, Lu Yan became more and more certain that Xie Qing had harassed Bai Wanyi.
His eyes were red: "Your Highness! Don't go too far!"
