After leaving Kunning Palace, Jiang Qingqing grabbed a passing palace servant and asked where the hostage of Li State was being held.

The palace servant only said that the place of imprisonment was across the imperial garden.

Jiang Qingqing took Gan Yuan and Gan Lin walking on the avenue of the Imperial Garden.

Most of the people in the harem are probably paying their respects to the Queen Mother at this moment. The harem is unusually quiet at the moment.

The summer breeze blew gently, and a rustling sound was heard in the imperial garden.

She was walking down the cobblestone road, thinking of some excuse to check on the patrol members, when she heard a rustling sound on the side of the road.

"Be more careful next time. Don't be so careless that you don't even notice something went wrong."

Jiang Qingqing found this voice very familiar. She felt like she had heard it frequently somewhere.

The other party's voice sounded slowly, and it was actually a male voice.

"I didn't expect that Xiao Linting would find me here. Fortunately, I kept a trick up my sleeve."

Jiang Qingqing frowned, and Gan Yuan and Gan Lin behind her naturally heard the voice.

Recalling the assassination attempt at the eldest princess' banquet, Gan Lin and Gan Yuan did not dare to let the little princess take the risk again. One of them held Jiang Qingqing's arm, lifted her small body up without hesitation, turned around and ran back to Kunning Palace quickly.

When you run, it is inevitable that footsteps will be heard.

The people behind the rockery, who were on high alert, heard the voice and immediately stopped the conversation.

Only when the footsteps faded away did the person behind the rockery walk out cautiously.

Concubine Wan stared at the direction of the entrance of the Imperial Garden, as if she was thinking about something, her brows furrowed.

The people behind the rockery didn't dare to stick their heads out at this time, and could only whisper across the rockery: "Have we been discovered?"

"We are lucky to have met a timid person. If there is nothing else to do recently, we should not meet each other." Wan Guiren's expression turned cold. She stared at the rockery as if she was staring at that person.

He said angrily: "If it weren't for her, I wouldn't help you clean up the mess behind your butt!"

On this side, Jiang Qingqing, who was caught off guard and carried away by Gan Lin and Gan Yuan, watched the suspicious rockery getting farther and farther away from her.

"No, I'll just listen for a while longer, maybe I'll remember who the voice belongs to!"

"Your Highness, you can't take such risks anymore. Don't you remember the last accident involving Prince Fengchen?" Gan Lin shook his head and said very sadly.

Jiang Qingqing was stunned. What did this have to do with Prince Fengchen? !

"What they said is very suspicious, and it also involves the emperor's uncle. Aren't you curious!?"

Jiang Qingqing's feet were hanging in the air. She wanted to struggle to get down to the ground, but Gan Yuan and Gan Lin misunderstood that she was trying to struggle and escape, so they could not help but hold Jiang Qingqing tighter.

"Our current master is Your Highness the Princess. What happens to the prince has nothing to do with us. But if anything happens to you, Your Highness, we will not be able to survive."

Gan Yuan and Gan Lin looked at each other, and walked towards Kunning Palace in tacit understanding.

The palace maid who was sweeping the gate of Kunning Palace just saw the little princess coming out. Not long after, she saw the princess coming back again.

"Aunt Wanqing, please prepare breakfast for Her Royal Highness the Princess."

When Gan Yuan saw Wan Qing standing at the entrance of the hall, she spoke very politely.

The latter answered subconsciously, but looking at the little princess, he couldn't help but ask curiously, "Didn't His Highness just say that he had something to do and had to leave first?"

Jiang Qingqing was about to open her mouth to defend herself, but the gazes from Gan Yuan and Gan Lin were too intense.

She opened her mouth hesitantly, and after a while, she had to swallow the words back.

Finally, after thinking for a moment, he said, "It's okay. I thought about it and I might prefer the breakfast at Kunning Palace."

What a blatant compromise!

It is unforgivable!

Jiang Qingqing sat in the side hall with her head down, waiting for Wanqing to bring up breakfast. While she was in a daze, a group of people passed by the door of the side hall. After a while, the crowd retreated intact.

"Qingqing?! You're back."

The eldest prince stood at the door of the side hall, looking at Jiang Qingqing's small body, and felt a little uncomfortable.

Roughly speaking, Jiang Qingqing has been living in the Princess's residence for nearly half a month since she left the palace.

"Brother! Long time no see. How are you doing in the palace? Without Qingqing, do you feel that studying is no longer fun?!"

When Jiang Qingqing saw the eldest prince, she really felt like she hadn't seen him for a long time.

"There have been no classes in the Imperial College recently. We are all busy checking. But Qingqing is indeed missing. Something is missing."

The eldest prince was a gentle person. He spoke softly and pleasantly, and rubbed Jiang Qingqing's furry head.

"What is the eldest brother busy with recently? I only know that the third brother is working on the land system recently."

When the eldest prince heard the words "land system", he involuntarily withdrew his hand that was touching Jiang Qingqing's head.

"I'm busy investigating the arrangements for the palace guard patrols. However, these topics are different for everyone. I didn't expect that my third brother's topic would be this."

When Jiang Qingqing heard the word patrol team, her eyes lit up.

Isn't this a chance sent by heaven to her?

"Oh, Third Brother's project is so boring. When we were outside the palace, we watched him chewing on files all day long. It's not like the patrol team of Big Brother, which sounds so impressive!"

Once Jiang Qingqing started to flatter someone, she began to approach the topic with a purpose.

"How do you show off your power?" The eldest prince was exhausted from patrolling the palace these days.

But after hearing what Jiang Qingqing said, he suddenly became inexplicably interested.

One wants to praise, the other wants to listen.

"We are in charge of the safety of the palace. This is the core secret. The fact that we allowed you to investigate this must mean that our father values ​​you and appreciates you!"

Jiang Qingqing tugged at the eldest prince's sleeve, her eyes sparkling like stars.

"Brother Royal is so powerful, can you take Qingqing to see the fun?"

The little girl's admiration, coupled with the cuteness of a five-year-old child, and the sweet and sticky voice almost made the eldest prince's heart melt.

"If you have nothing to do this afternoon, you can go to the patrol with me."

The eldest prince thought about it and decided that he was just taking her for a tour, and a child might not understand the patrol rules.

And the eldest brother's words perfectly hit Jiang Qingqing's plan.

When breakfast was served, Jiang Qingqing put all the delicious cakes into the eldest prince's bowl in order to secretly thank him for his help.

"My brother must be exhausted recently. Eat more cakes to replenish your body!"
