Lanqin glanced at Fourth Master, but before she could turn around, she felt one of her hands being grabbed by the man, and then her whole body fell towards her.
"What are you doing?" Lanqin was still resisting Fourth Master, and her face flushed slightly at the sudden physical contact with him.
"Why did I never see you blush in front of me before?" Fourth Master said, putting his arm around Lanqin's waist.
"Master, you've never embraced me in public before, have you? Mother just said it's really inappropriate, let me go!" Lanqin said.
"I just want to massage your wrists!" Fourth Master said, holding Lanqin's hand.
Lanqin looked at the Fourth Master's gentle words to her and had a momentary illusion. She couldn't help but glance at him a few more times. However, she soon saw that there were people standing behind them watching them.
"Let go!" Lanqin uttered two words, but Fourth Master still refused to let go.
Having no other choice, Lanqin lifted the bottom of her flowerpot and stomped down on one of Fourth Master's feet!
Next, our Fourth Prince, enduring the immense pain in his feet, released Lanqin. Lanqin seized this opportunity and ran away. As she ran, she realized she was already outside Yonghe Palace, and had no idea where she was going.
Oh, right, to the Qing Palace!
Lanqin remembered what the Fourth Prince had just said to Consort De.
So, Lanqin followed the palace road all the way to Qianqing Palace. Little did she know that the Fourth Prince was following right behind her.
"Don't go to the Qing Palace!" Fourth Prince said, understanding the direction Lanqin was heading.
"Why are you following me around like a shadow? Don't you have anything to do?" Lanqin turned around and looked at the Fourth Master who was following her.
"You, you dare to step on me and call me a tagalong?" Fourth Master was a little frantic, but he couldn't bear to leave this little woman, so he had followed her all this way.
"Who told you to keep following me around like this? Haven't I already been rejected by you? Why do you keep showing up in front of me? Why don't you go back to the manor and see your dear cousin?" Lanqin said angrily. Anyway, she wasn't afraid of the Fourth Prince anymore, so she just said it.
"You!" The Fourth Prince stared at Lanqin, but couldn't say anything. He had indeed wronged her, suspected her, and almost fallen for Wuya's trick. Actually, he came to Yonghe Palace to talk to Consort De about Wuya. He had placed her under house arrest, but that wasn't a long-term solution. He wanted to send her to Zhanghua Terrace so she could live there permanently, but he still cared that she was Consort De's niece, and he still needed to report to Consort De on how to deal with her.
Lanqin looked at the fury in Fourth Master's eyes and at things she had never seen in his eyes before.
“If Your Highness is alright, you may go and take care of your own affairs. I am familiar with this palace and do not need Your Highness to follow me at all times,” Lanqin said.
"I have something to say. Let's find somewhere else first; this isn't the place to talk," said Fourth Master.
Lanqin had no choice but to follow the Fourth Prince to a palace. The Fourth Prince stopped and looked inside, saying to Lanqin, "No one lives here. It used to be the residence of a concubine. However, she committed a crime and was banished to the Cold Palace by Father Emperor. I have never seen her since."
Lanqin stared blankly at the somewhat dilapidated palace before her, where the Fourth Prince stood with his hands behind his back in front of her.
Damn it, how can this man's back view be so handsome! Lanqin couldn't help but think to herself.
"Qin'er, this time, I was wrong. I already know who caused Wuya's sudden increase in appetite, and I also know how her child was lost," said the Fourth Prince.
