If this young and energetic governor is not only a corrupt official but also wants to force the prefect's daughter to marry him, Qin Ye will definitely not sit idly by.
She recounted what happened tonight.
After that, summary:
"I have promised the prefect's daughter that I will intervene tomorrow. If the governor is really corrupt, we can arrest him and save an innocent woman."
The man raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this, and just smiled deeply:
"Ye'er is so simple."
"???"
What's the meaning?
Qin Ye frowned and wanted to ask further questions, but the man had already changed the subject:
"Then do as Ye'er wishes."
Qin Ye's brows furrowed even more tightly. Why did he always feel that there was something else behind the man's words? What did he mean by "she was innocent"? Could it be that the prefect's daughter was lying to her?
It is true that the magistrate's daughter escaped from her marriage and attempted suicide.
Even if he lied to her, she could take advantage of the situation to investigate the governor's corruption. There was no conflict between the two.
"Asleep." Zong Zhengchen suddenly put down the teacup and stood up.
Qin Ye's body tensed.
The most urgent thing is sleeping, two people, one bed.
Watching the man walk to the bed, turn around and sit down, lift the quilt, pat the place beside him with his big hand, motioning Qin Ye to come over.
Qin Ye stood there, with no intention of moving forward, and smiled flatteringly:
"Good night, my lord!"
He strode to the table, blew out the candle, then sat down, leaned over the table, and used his folded hands as a pillow with his head on them.
Close your eyes and go to sleep.
Zong Zhengchen: "Ye'er, are you planning to stay here all night?"
"I'm not very sleepy. Sitting here I can also keep watch for the prince. If anyone wants to murder the prince, I can wake up the first time and protect the prince's safety at all times." She spoke with passion and sincerity.
“…”
Believe her there is something fishy.
When you go out, you are still on guard against him. Do you think he is a wolf?
Zong Zhengchen got on the bed and lay on his side, his head lazily supported by his bent elbow. He didn't need to raise his head deliberately to take in the appearance of the woman three or four meters away.
In the dim room, the woman closed her eyes and breathed evenly. The dim light sprinkled on her face. The ugly birthmark seemed to blend into her. Not only was it not ugly, it also looked very natural.
It's like the birthmark is the real her.
The more I looked at it, the more I liked it.
He held his chin slightly and just looked at her quietly.
Qin Ye felt it.
At first, she was full of curiosity: Why was this man staring at her? Was there anything dirty on her face? What was he looking at? Had he never seen a beautiful woman before?
After a while, I felt really sleepy.
After sitting in a carriage for a whole day, I went out for a walk in the evening. As I was thinking, I fell asleep in a daze and unknowingly.
Half asleep and half awake, she seemed to smell a pleasant mint scent, cool and light, lingering around her nose...
When I opened my eyes again, I was awakened by a loud noise.
When she opened her eyes, it was already bright outside the window, and she was lying on the bed. There was no sign of the man in the room.
Qin Ye sat up and subconsciously reached for his clothes. Seeing that his clothes were intact and not even a button was undone, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
When Zong Zhengchen came in, he saw her expression: Was it defiled? He quickly took a look and saw that her clothes were intact. He breathed a sigh of relief and his face darkened:
"Who do you think I am?"
When she was taking Chinese medicine, he didn't touch her without permission. How could he take advantage of her just because they slept on the same bed?
Qin Ye looked up and smiled softly:
"Your Majesty is naturally the person I respect the most."
He looked at her disdainfully: "Really?"
"Absolutely true!"
——I was already sleeping on the bed, and you didn't even touch me, are you incompetent? !
