Chapter 363: So Many Years
He doesn't want to eat dog food like crazy!
"Oh." He Yanxiu responded casually.
But then he never spoke again.
Xing'an, "..."
So is this an agreement or not?
Will you pay attention next time, or will you continue to do this? Xing'an wants to know the answer, very anxious...
He Yanxiu pretended not to see Xing'an and just touched his nose.
He didn't want this either.
But if he sent Xing'an away, he was afraid that he would be too enthusiastic.
Although they both love each other, they have not yet discussed marriage...
Some things still need to be put on the agenda as soon as possible.
He Yanxiu made up his mind, pursed his lips, and walked forward quickly.
Xing'an followed behind. ——Qin Lingshu came out of the Eight Immortals Building and got on the carriage, his face full of joy.
Everything is under control, and that is something to be happy about.
"Is the prince returning home now?" asked the servant beside him.
"Walk around this street for a few rounds before going back." Qin Lingshu said.
If he went back at this time, I'm afraid the princess would not have fallen asleep yet and would frequently send people to check on his condition.
It's so annoying.
"Yes." The servant was already used to Qin Lingshu's behavior. He did not try to persuade him and only told the driver to do as Qin Lingshu ordered.
The carriage was moving slowly on the street, and in order to make the carriage more stable, the driver did not choose to take the busy main road, but chose a relatively wide but less crowded path.
There are shops open on the small street, but most of them are small pubs with few people.
The journey was relatively smooth, but when passing the entrance of an alley, a figure suddenly jumped out from the dark alley.
The driver was startled and quickly tightened the reins.
The horse was frightened and neighed immediately, but fortunately it was well trained and soon calmed down after being comforted by the driver.
The dark shadow was obviously also startled. He sat down on the ground and didn't get up for a long time.
Seeing that nothing had happened, the driver felt relieved. However, when he thought that stopping the carriage so abruptly would surely shock the prince, he became extremely frightened, and he vented all his fear on the black shadow.
"You are so blind that you didn't even look at the road carefully. You bumped into an important person. Can you bear the consequences?"
The driver yelled and cursed, and the shadow came to his senses and kowtowed to the carriage, "Forgive me, forgive me, I didn't do this on purpose, it's just that it's getting late and I'm anxious to go home, so..."
"I hope you will forgive me."
The woman was obviously very frightened, and there was a strong tremor in the last words, which made her originally gentle voice seem even more delicate and lovable.
The driver was a middle-aged man. When he heard such a charming voice, he felt his heart soften. He also realized that Qin Lingshu did not say anything, so he simply shouted, "You are just a woman, I don't mean it, I won't bother with you too much, get out of here quickly, so as not to get in the way!"
"Yes, yes." The woman choked up and knelt down and kowtowed several times, "Your Excellency is so kind and virtuous. I am so grateful. I am so grateful..."
These words were spoken loudly, so loud that Qin Lingshu in the carriage could hear them clearly.
This sound...
Qin Lingshu didn't care about being shocked by the coachman and hurriedly lifted the curtain of the carriage to take a look.
The woman lowered her head at this time and wiped the tears of fear with her sleeve. She did not dare to delay too much time and just stood up hurriedly.
Whether it was because of fear or because she had been kneeling for too long, the woman staggered when she stood up and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, she steadied herself and stood up, then turned and left.
The woman kept her head down the whole time, and her face couldn't be seen at all.
Qin Lingshu couldn't tell for a moment, a layer of melancholy appeared on his face, and then he sighed.
So many years have passed, and the person is probably no longer here.
As for the similarity in sound, it may just be a coincidence.
After all, the world is so big that it is very likely to find people with similar appearances, not to mention people with similar voices.
Qin Lingshu's eyes dimmed, and he slowly lowered his hand that was lifting the car curtain.
Just as the curtain fell, the woman turned her head and looked at the carriage intently.
The light outside was dim and it was difficult to see clearly, but the woman's eyes looked bright and dazzling under the moonlight.
Is it her?
Qin Lingshu was startled and lifted the car curtain to look inside.
But the woman had already walked away, and all Qin Lingshu saw was a pitch-black night.
"Your Highness..." The servant was surprised to see Qin Lingshu's big reaction.
"Bring back the woman from before!"
Qin Lingshu wanted to confirm whether it was true.
"Yes!" Several servants around her responded hastily, and ran quickly into the alley where the woman had just gone to look for her.
But after a while, the servants came back one after another.
Qin Lingshu frowned when he saw this, "Where is he?"
"Your Highness, we are incompetent." The servant replied fearfully, "Just now I clearly saw the woman enter this alley, but we hurriedly chased her and didn't see any human figure."
"We originally thought that he might have entered the courtyard inside the alley, and we even asked around, but they all said that the courtyard door had been closed since dark, and no one had been there."
"This alley is a dead end. If you walk in, you can't go anywhere else. But now I can't find the woman anywhere..."
The more he spoke, the colder he felt on his back.
This woman could not be found anywhere, and her appearance just now was quite strange...
Could it be that I have encountered a ghost? The servant had a guess in his mind, but he didn't dare to say it out loud.
Qin Lingshu's brows were furrowed even more fiercely, and he stared at the entrance of the dark alley in a daze for a long time.
Was that a dream just now?
Or is she deliberately hiding from people...
After thinking for a long time, Qin Lingshu rubbed his sore brows with his hand, got back into the carriage and sat down, "Let's go back home."
"Yes, let's go back home!" the servant shouted.
The driver breathed a sigh of relief, flicked the whip in his hand, and drove the carriage forward.
The carriage moved slowly and soon disappeared into the night.
A figure reappeared in the previously deserted alley. When the carriage disappeared from sight and even the creaking of the wheels could no longer be heard, he took out a lighter from his bosom and lit the lantern in his hand.
The lantern was bright, and the soft light spread out, and the woman's face gradually became clear.
Her face without makeup is still beautiful. Although there are faint fine lines at the corners of her eyes, she is still graceful and you can vaguely see the beauty of her youth.
After so many years...
The woman pursed her lips, pulled her cloak closer, and walked into the alley again with the lantern in her hand. ——The first round of the cooking competition officially began at the exact time of Sishi.
