Why did he come back at this time?

There was nothing strange about him coming back at this time. After all, he kept a close eye on Prince Huai, just like he had kept an eye on himself, almost all the time.

But why did he come here after returning? He must know where Prince Huai is, why didn't he go to see Prince Huai first, or should he be keeping an eye on me?

If he found out about this, it would further prove that he had evil intentions in getting close to Prince Huai and Princess Jiuli.

Then he would definitely be killed on the spot by Lu Yunqi, as Zhu Zan would never appear in Prince Huai's Mansion.

What did he want to do with Zhu Zan at this time? Even without him, he would not be killed by Lu Yunqi. Instead, he could kill Lu Yunqi.

But you can forget about entering the capital city in this life, let alone protecting your sister and brother. The emperor might even take the opportunity to execute them.

What to do?

Even though she was hiding behind a tree, he would be able to find her if he came over, and he might have found her now.

All she had to do was get the master's handwritten note. Miss Jun calmly and quickly closed the iron box, pushing up layer of soil.

Hurry up, hurry up, and hurry up.

But no matter how fast he tries, it is impossible to restore this place to its original state. As soon as he comes here, he will find something strange here.

The key now is not to prevent him from discovering what you are doing, but how to explain why you are doing it.

How to explain?

How can I explain it so that he won’t get suspicious?

Or stop him from thinking about it?

Miss Jun's shovel pushed the dirt away so fast that she felt like she was suffocating.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and more and more rapid. It was obvious that he had discovered me. He quickened his pace, his eyes must have become colder, and his hand had probably already grasped the knife.

Miss Jun raised her head suddenly.

"Lady Flower, Lady Grass, Lady Earth, Lady Stone," she said.

The sound is long and soft, like a chant.

She actually sang it.

"Which lady comes, which lady goes."

She sang softly, and her voice spread under the quiet trees.

The footsteps that were approaching behind me suddenly stopped.

She poked and poked the ground with the shovel, just like a child playing with dirt.

"Purple Lady, White Lady, Green Lady, Yellow Lady."

"Which lady comes, which lady goes."

As she hummed to this point, she thrust the shovel forcefully into the soil, and at the same time a mellow male voice came from behind her.

"What are you doing?"

"I'm digging for the Insect Goddess." Miss Jun answered casually, and at the same time stood up and turned her head, "Do you know what the Insect Goddess is?"

She had a smile on her face, her brows raised, her chin slightly raised, her hands on her waist and she looked at the person in front of her.

His eyes collided with Lu Yunqi's.

Her expression froze, and her originally relaxed body instantly tensed up. She dropped her hands, drooped her shoulders, and stood up straight.

"Lord Lu," she said, her voice soft but indifferent, and a little stiff. She took a step back and stepped on the pounded soil, as if trying to cover it with her skirt. "I'm waiting for His Highness and Mr. Gu to come over. They're going to..."

Before she could finish her words, Lu Yunqi strode over from a few steps away, grabbed her and pressed her against the tree trunk.

Miss Jun screamed unexpectedly and was already held by Lu Yunqi. His face was almost pressed against hers, his eyes looking into hers.

His face was cold and he was barely breathing, like a real snake.

Miss Jun's eyes widened in shock, her chest heaved violently, and she breathed rapidly.

"What are you doing?" Lu Yunqi looked at her and asked in a mellow voice.

Miss Jun finally came to her senses from her shock.

"What are you doing?" she also said, but her voice was sharp. At the same time, she raised her hands and hit Lu Yunqi randomly, like a frightened bird.

Lu Yunqi easily held down her arm.

"Tell me, what were you doing just now?" he looked at Miss Jun and asked again.

His porcelain-white face flickered under the mottled shadows of the branches cast by the sunlight, and his usually cold eyes became gentle and sincere, but when this look appeared on his face, it only made people feel weird.

Miss Jun looked terrified and angry.

"Lord Lu, what are you doing? Let me go." She struggled and shouted.

In Lu Yunqi's hands she was like a poor ant, and this struggle was useless.

"I'm just asking you, what were you doing just now?" Lu Yunqi slowed down his voice again and looked down at his feet.

The dug soil was loose and was stepped on by their feet, leaving footprints. The shovel was also kicked aside.

Miss Jun tried her best to calm herself down, and seemed to finally understand what he meant.

"I didn't do anything. I was just waiting for His Highness to come and play." she said.

"Want to play digging?" Lu Yunqi looked at her and asked.

"No, I just dug up a kind of insect. It's white and plump and can be used as medicine." Miss Jun pressed her body against the tree, trying to avoid the face of the man who was close to her, and shouted angrily.

There were chaotic footsteps coming from afar, accompanied by Prince Huai's laughter.

Miss Jun's face became even more anxious and embarrassed, with tears in her eyes.

"Let me go." There was also tears in her voice.

This time, Lu Yunqi let go of his hand and stood away.

Miss Jun immediately staggered away, almost tripping over the dirt and her own medicine box, looking angry and terrified.

Prince Huai and his entourage appeared in sight, accompanied by the sound of firecrackers.

Miss Jun ran towards them hurriedly with the medicine box in hand as if she had seen a savior, feeling as if there was a thorn in her back behind her.

Her steps were a little hurried, but there was no trace of panic on her face. Instead, she looked relieved.

The bet won.

She didn't need to look back or worry. Lu Yunqi no longer cared what was digging in the soil under his feet, or guessed why he had to dig the soil.

There is nothing strange about this because someone has done this before.

Miss Jun looked at Prince Huai who was being led by Mr. Gu and walked hurriedly.

That should be the first time she and Lu Yunqi met face to face and alone. She was already in Prince Huai's Mansion at that time. Because she was bored at home, she squatted in the yard and dug insects one day. Thinking about her master roasting these insects to eat, the thought was both exciting and disgusting.

This excitement and disgust made her feel very happy.

She happily hummed the little tune her master had made up while digging for bugs, while poking the soil with a small shovel.

It was at this time that Lu Yunqi stood at the door. He stood there for a long time, seeming hesitant and wanting to leave.

I had already seen him at that time, but I didn't care and was too lazy to pay attention. I just thought he was a guard who was monitoring them.

Finally, he couldn't help it anymore.

"What are you doing?" he asked.

She was a little tired of squatting at that time, so she stood up and turned around.

"I'm digging for the Insect Goddess. Do you know what the Insect Goddess is?" she said casually, looking at Lu Yunqi.

That was his first time coming to Prince Huai's Mansion, and the second time was when he married her half a year later.

Miss Jun walked over to Mr. Gu and others.

Mr. Gu smiled at her, but Prince Huai still ignored him and just played with firecrackers happily.

"Miss Jun, are you okay?" the female official asked, looking at her face.

Miss Jun shook her head at her.

"It's okay, it's okay," she said, trying hard to hide her anxiety.

Of course the female official wouldn't believe it. She glanced at Lu Yunqi who was standing under the swing.

It was estimated that the girl was playing on the swing and was bumped into by Lord Lu. As a doctor, he did not follow Prince Huai closely, but was playing here instead, so he must have been reprimanded.

Even if Lord Lu doesn't scold people, he's still very scary. No wonder Miss Jun is so panicked.

The female official smiled and asked no more questions, continuing to look at Prince Huai.

Miss Jun also looked at Prince Huai, seemingly trying her best to relax and calm herself.

Although she didn't look over there, she could feel Lu Yunqi's eyes were always on her.

She was once very familiar with that look, and once felt happy and at peace with it.

But at this moment, all she felt was disgust.
