Chapter 168 Lucky
Lin Hao's steps were obviously slower than before, and his wrapped hand moved, subconsciously trying to break free.
Qi Shuo walked forward without looking around, but his hands were tightened.
The hand that hadn't broken free fell silent.
Lin Hao pursed his lips, glanced at the people around him quickly, and then drifted back to the front.
The entrance to the alley was getting closer.
Qi Shuo suddenly stopped.
Lin Hao looked puzzled: "What's wrong?"
"Ah Hao——" In the dim night, the young man, who was half a head taller than the girl, was obviously nervous, so his voice was much tense than usual.
Lin Hao raised his eyes and waited quietly for him to continue.
A young child ran past the entrance of the alley, looked into the alley curiously, and then ran away laughing.
Qi Shuo clenched his fists tightly, and what he held were the girl's soft and slender fingers.
The words that were lingering in my heart were spoken without hesitation: "Okay, can I ask Bingren to go to your house to propose marriage?"
Lin Hao was startled and couldn't help but pull his hand back, but the big hand held it firmly.
She looked into his eyes and saw full of seriousness and expectation.
Her heart suddenly softened, and before she could figure it out, she nodded: "Okay."
The young man, who had been holding his breath waiting for an answer, raised his lips and his mood instantly lifted: "Then let's go home quickly."
Lin Hao was silent.
They spoke as if they were going back to a home.
"That Du Qing...where did your men take him?"
At the entrance of the alley, Du Qing and Qi Shuo's guards were gone.
"Take him back to the palace first." Qi Shuo's tone was calm, but his eyes were as deep as the night. "Ah Hao, how do you plan to deal with that person?"
Lin Hao frowned: "I haven't thought it through yet."
Meeting Qi Shuo's puzzled gaze, she rubbed her brows and said, "I have a headache."
"Am I putting you in such a difficult position?" A smile appeared in the young man's eyes, which were bathed in the night, as if filled with tiny starlight.
Although he didn't like the topic being discussed, Ah Hao's complaining look made him inexplicably happy.
Lin Hao didn't know what Qi Shuo was so happy about. She casually kicked over a bunch of weeds sticking out of the ground with her embroidered green shoes. "In my previous life, I was able to escape from that place with Du Qing's help. So now I feel conflicted. I don't want him to get into trouble, but I don't want to see him get into trouble either."
After staying in that place for three years, she became more and more certain that Emperor Pingle was not a qualified monarch.
If he takes back that position, the country and the people will suffer.
"That's easy. Let's keep him locked up like this for now. That way, nothing will happen to him and he won't cause any trouble."
Lin Hao shook his head. "Du Qing must have quite a few subordinates. If you keep him in the palace, you'll be in trouble in the future. Besides, if people knew that Prince Jing's palace had Emperor Pingle's men imprisoned for a long time, it would be easy for them to make a fuss."
Qi Shuo smiled: "You are still thoughtful."
"So how do we deal with this?"
Killing him would make me feel guilty, and locking him up would become a hot potato.
Qi Shuo still looked relaxed: "Then let's lock it up somewhere else."
"Where is he being held?"
"How are the Jinlin Guards?"
Lin Hao's expression was a little complicated.
The tone he used when discussing with her made it seem as if he was the one who opened Jinlin Guard.
"I'll lock them up there under some other pretext. If those people really want to cause trouble, the Jinlin Guards will handle it. By the way, are there any other people you care about?"
"No, there are only Master Mingxin and Du Qing." Lin Hao couldn't help but ask, "Are there any friends in Jinlin Guards that you are close to?"
"It's not a good relationship, but Jinlin Guard Commander Cheng Maoming owes me a favor."
The arrangements regarding Du Qing were temporarily settled, and the two of them walked out of the alley.
The lights of thousands of homes brought a bustling and noisy night scene to the capital. Lin Hao couldn't help but look back and glance at the deep alley.
Just now, she was being chased in this alley, recognized the man, and agreed to the marriage proposal from Prince Jing.
Lin Hao blinked, feeling a little unreal.
My hand was held again, and I felt the warmth from the other person.
"Okay, let's go home."
Lin Hao's eyes became clear again.
Qi Shuo secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Looking at Ah Hao's expression just now, he suspected that she wanted to go back on her word!
At this moment, a figure rushed over like a whirlwind, accompanied by a cry: "Girl!"
Lin Hao was knocked off balance by Baozhu.
Baozhu held onto Lin Hao's shoulders and looked her up and down: "Miss, are you okay?"
"fine."
"That's great! I was so scared!" Baozhu's eyes were red from crying. She choked up and talked about what happened after she left. "I followed your instructions and went to find Prince Jing. On the way, I met his servant Changning, who said that Prince Jing was nearby. Changning brought me back and searched for a while, and finally found you..."
Lin Hao glanced at Qi Shuo.
Qi Shuo nodded slightly to the servant following behind Baozhu.
Changning was immediately delighted when he received the master's affirmation.
He knew it was the right thing to do.
Such a narrow and long alley is perfect for the prince to express his feelings. If he is lucky, he may be able to win the beauty. But he can't let this little maid ruin everything.
Baozhu finished speaking, and with tears hanging from her eyelashes, she smiled at Changning: "Thank you very much."
"You're welcome. We are servants. Our master will be worried if something happens to him. I understand your feelings very well." Changning waved her hand.
"What happened to the frightened horse?" Qi Shuo asked.
Chang Ning hurriedly said, "It's been controlled. There's a sharp stone stuck in the horse's butt. I wonder which wicked person did this!"
Lin Hao and Qi Shuo looked at each other, knowing full well that it was Du Qing who created the chaos in order to find her.
"No one was hurt, right?" Lin Hao asked.
"No one was hurt, just a young lady was frightened. I have paid to pacify her."
Only then did Lin Hao finally feel relieved.
If an uncontrolled and frightened horse causes a death, it is not something that can be resolved by paying money.
Perhaps the money paid is enough to appease the victim's family, but it cannot appease one's own conscience.
Such a result is already lucky.
Lin Hao thought so and turned to look at Qi Shuo.
Her mind, which had been somewhat wandering due to her quick agreement to the other party's proposal, calmed down.
Meeting him today was her luck.
She had a tragic fate in her previous life and could not forget the stranger who died with her. This person happened to be the Prince of Jing who disturbed her heart in this life.
Thinking about the future that is completely different from her previous life, she is looking forward to it.
"Let's go home." Lin Hao said to Qi Shuo with a smile.
Qi Shuo curved his lips: "Okay."
Changning looked at this and that, then suddenly covered his mouth.
There is progress, there is definitely progress between the Prince and Miss Lin Er!
Baozhu glanced at him and asked with concern, "What's wrong with you? Are you out of breath?"
Changning's mouth twitched.
He said that this girl was stupid, and who would cover her mouth when she was gasping for breath?
The silly girl in Changning's eyes did not forget to praise him when he returned to the general's mansion: "Miss, Changning, the servant beside Prince Jing, is much better than the previous Changshun. Every time Changshun saw us, he was like a thief, as if you would snatch Prince Jing away. Bah, who would like his son?"
