Chapter 64 The Prince is Angry
Qingqing was originally filled with worry, fearing that the poor prison conditions would cause Qingyi to suffer. But who could have imagined that even after entering the cell, this kid would still be obsessed with good food and wine.
"I didn't bring those. If you want to drink, go back and drink to your heart's content. Why would you drink in this shabby cell?" he replied softly.
The jailer listened from the side, feeling incredibly frustrated. These two were a perfect match, what a pair! One treated the cell like his own backyard, coming and going as he pleased, while the other despised the cell's shabby condition and completely disregarded its dignity.
"Miss, it's getting late, you'd better go back quickly. This is the prison cell for serious criminals. If someone finds out, I can't bear the consequences." Although the jailer was dissatisfied, he politely ordered her to leave for the sake of the money.
"You...behave yourself and don't cause any trouble." He warned her anxiously. What on earth was this kid planning? Why was he willingly staying in this prison? Could he be taking advantage of someone's insecurity and causing a big trouble like murder and prison break?
"Oh, I know, I know! Why are you so nagging, like an old nanny! Remember to come and see me tomorrow, and bring me some good wine and food. I'm still hungry now!" Qing Yi was relentless and kept complaining about coming empty-handed.
"Hmph! I don't want to bother with you!" Qingqing was so angry that she was speechless and turned away from the cell. At this point, she could only go back and ask the young prince for instructions on how to deal with this matter.
Qing Yi grumbled about not having eaten, and Qing Qing acted nonchalant, but she was still keeping it to herself. After she came out of the cell, she handed the jailer a heavy ingot of silver without a word, and told him to prepare a table of good food and wine for Qing Yi. After finishing the task, Qing Qing hurried back to the palace.
As soon as she entered the palace, Qingqing found that her master had not returned yet. She was anxious, but there was nothing she could do. She could only wait at the gate of the palace, eagerly hoping that her master would come back soon.
"Qingqing, what are you doing standing there like an idiot?" Ruyi happened to pass by and asked with a smile.
"No... I didn't do anything!" She quickly shook her head, but her eyes were a little evasive.
"Waiting for the master?" Ruyi saw through Qingqing's thoughts.
"Ah, why hasn't the master come back yet? It's almost dark." Qingqing looked at the distant street again, but still could not see the master and Qingfeng, and her heart became more and more anxious.
"Maybe the master is staying in the palace again. It's almost dark, let's go back quickly!" Ruyi persuaded.
"Sister Ruyi, please go in first. I'll wait a moment."
"I know why you are waiting for the master. The matter of Qing Yi has spread. He actually killed people in the capital. This is too lawless!" Ruyi's face showed both regret and a hint of gloating.
"He, he didn't kill anyone!" Qingqing hurriedly defended Qingyi.
"How do you know he didn't kill anyone? Did you see it with your own eyes? Qingqing, I've been paying attention to you for a long time. Are you interested in that Young Master Qingyi?" Ruyi joked with a smile.
"Ah, no..." Qingqing's face turned red to her ears in an instant, and she quickly denied it.
As she watched, she felt increasingly confident that she had correctly guessed Qingqing's thoughts, and she secretly laughed at herself. In her opinion, this girl had truly poor taste, actually falling for that wicked scoundrel. But then again, these two were quite a good match, one not gentle and virtuous, the other not refined and elegant. Qingqing and Qingyi could never have imagined that they would be unanimously considered a match made in heaven by so many different people.
"That's right. When the time comes, I'll ask the young prince to make the decision for you. After all, you are from the palace, and you are more than qualified to match that guy from the martial arts world." Ruyi said with a smile.
"Sister Ruyi, you misunderstood. Young Master Qingyi and I really have nothing to do with each other." Qingqing hurriedly clarified.
"I'm sorry about that. When we find a chance, the master and I will talk to you two about this." Ruyi said considerately, thinking that if these two could succeed, Qingyi wouldn't always be around the master.
"Don't...don't!" Qingqing was so scared that she waved her hands repeatedly. If Ruyi really went to the young prince to matchmake for her and Qingyi... Qingqing didn't even dare to think about it.
"Okay, okay, why don't you go in? I'll go in first!" Ruyi responded with a smile.
It was not until the sun gradually set that Qingqing finally saw the figures of her master and Qingfeng.
"Master, master, you are back!" Qingqing was so excited that she almost jumped up and ran to Ye Qingyu.
"Huh?" Ye Qingyu and Qingfeng looked at Qingqing in confusion. Why was this girl so excited today?
"Master, something happened to Qingyi!" This light sentence made Ye Qingyu's heart tremble suddenly.
"What's wrong?" Ye Qingyu's expression suddenly became serious.
"Qing Yi was locked up in the jail of the capital government because he was accused of killing someone in the street." Qingqing finally waited for her master and told him everything.
"What? Murder?" Ye Qingyu was shocked.
"Qing Yi said he didn't kill anyone, he was framed."
"Master, let's go inside and let Qingqing explain in detail." Qingfeng whispered behind Ye Qingyu. After all, this was the gate of the palace, and with the young prince's return, the servants were gathering more and more, so it was not appropriate to discuss this matter here.
"Yeah!" Ye Qingyu responded. He was indeed anxious when he heard that Qing Yi was in trouble.
The master and his servants went straight to the study, and once the door was closed, they carefully and gently recounted the whole story. The more Ye Qingyu listened, the tighter his brows furrowed, and his expression became more gloomy.
After Qingqing finished speaking, Ye Qingyu suddenly stood up and walked straight out the door without saying a word. Qingfeng hurried to catch up. Seeing this, Qingqing also trotted after him, unable to help but ask, "Qingfeng, where is the master going?"
"Stop talking, the master is angry." Qingfeng whispered. Although Qingqing was a smart girl, she was simple-minded and had not yet realized the master's anger at the moment.
"Ah, are you angry?" He glanced at his master in front of him, only to see that his face was expressionless, seemingly no different from usual. But if he looked closely, he could sense a chill emanating from him, a stark contrast to his usual indifference.
