Qingyin's thick eyelashes trembled, as if she wanted to give the man a fake name.
The man chuckled softly, his tone firm: "Don't lie to me. If you lie to me, I will definitely get it back."
Without blushing or skipping a beat, Qingyin said in a muffled voice, "I...I didn't mean to lie."
"Hmm." The man's deliberately husky and magnetic laughter rang in my ears.
Qingyin knew the man was deliberately teasing her and wouldn't hurt her. She tried to push him away, but his heavy body was too much for a weak woman like her to move. Holding her breath, Qingyin managed to get a little distance away and mumbled, "Lin Qingqing."
"Lin Qingqing, a beautiful name. I'll remember my wife's name. Goodbye." A kiss so light it was almost imperceptible landed on Qingyin's forehead. With the sound of clothes fluttering, Qingyin realized the man in front of her was gone.
The heat in front of me was blown away by the cold wind.
Qingyin opened her eyes, picked up the pink veil that had been hanging from the jade pendant at her waist and was fluttering in the wind, pursed her red lips slightly, put the veil back on her face, and walked out of the alley.
As soon as she stepped out of the alley, Qingyin heard several familiar voices.
"Miss! Miss!"
"Sister, sister, where are you?"
"Young Miss!"
...
Seeing the guards and Xiang Lian searching for people not far away, Qingyin suppressed her previous anger and waved to them.
"I'm here."
The familiar, pleasant voice immediately made Xianglian and the others lock onto their target, and they quickly ran over.
"Miss! Thank goodness, we've finally found you. There are so many people on the road, are you alright?" The quick-witted Xiang Lian circled Qing Yin up and down, checking her over.
Seeing that Qingyin's clothes were not injured at all, only slightly wrinkled, Xianglian didn't think too much about it, assuming that Qingyin had been bumped by someone while walking on the road.
Seeing the same worried expressions on Xiang Lian and the others' faces, Qing Yin smiled reassuringly and said, "I'm fine. I just got separated from you earlier and I'm waiting for you here."
"That's good. Sister, you don't know, when you disappeared just now, your fierce girl probably wanted to tear me apart!" Lin Wanyu apologized to Qingyin.
Xiang Lian glared at him again for his open and honest confession.
Qingyin found it amusing and patted Lin Wanyu's head, "Alright, stop teasing Xianglian."
Recalling the smell of blood I had just caught, that man…
Qingyin's eyes darkened, and she tentatively asked the person beside her, "By the way, what happened? It looked like a group of soldiers came just now. What's going on?"
"Oh, this?" Lin Wanyu frowned, hesitated for a moment, and said, "I think the soldiers leading the group were wearing robes with flower and fish patterns. They must be from the Jingzhao Yin (Prefect of the Capital) handling the case, right? I just don't know how big this case is that the Jingzhao Yin himself is handling it?"
Qingyin nodded in agreement.
That person actually offended the Prefect of the Capital, so he must have committed a serious crime. Qingyin really hoped that the soldiers would be efficient and catch him as soon as possible.
However, deep down, Qingyin felt that the people of the Jingzhao Yin would not be able to catch that scoundrel.
That is indeed the case.
After leaving Qingyin, the man slipped across a street, walked into a dark alley, weaved left and right, and arrived at a spacious courtyard.
"Master!" the white-haired, richly dressed man called out respectfully.
Xie Ping waved his hand, indicating that the man didn't need to be so polite.
"Alright, same as before."
The fat old man hesitated. "Master, this mission is still too risky. We need to reconsider. Why don't we stop this operation for now?"
"OK."
"This is too risky... Ah, Master, you've agreed!" The fat old man, still in shock, looked at the handsome young man in front of him with suspicion.
Xie Ping glared at him coldly, "Do I have to repeat myself again?"
The fat old man chuckled and said, "Hehe, no need, no need."
"It's good that Master understands. It's just like the old saying Dongwei said, 'A wise man does not stand under a dangerous wall.' Master is truly wise."
The fat old man repeated what he had said, and then praised the young man once more.
Xie Ping now thought the fat old man was right. Although doing these things was indeed exciting, he was different now! He was a man with a future wife, how could he still do these things!
Xie Ping nodded seriously, speaking as usual: "Yes, find out the name Lin Qingqing for me. After you find her, protect this young lady well. Don't let her suffer any harm. If even a single hair falls out, I'll have to call the police."
"Ah, ah?" The fat old man's eyes widened in surprise.
The young prince, who was used to being wild, actually had someone he liked, and that person was a woman from the Eastern Wei Kingdom. The fat old man didn't know whether to be happy or not.
Seeing the fat old man's surprised expression, Xie Ping glared at him again.
Suddenly remembering the small bloodstain on the girl's neck, the young man felt remorse for a long time. After pausing for a few seconds, Xie Ping said to the fat old man, "After finding that young lady, secretly give her my Spring Ointment and write down its purpose."
"Fifth Prince, that was a secret healing medicine given to you by the palace..."
"If you say another word, you old geezer, do you believe I'll beat you up?" Meeting Xie Ping's fierce gaze, the fat old man fell silent.
It's over. His little prince is really doomed, and he's fallen into the hands of a woman from an enemy country. The fat old man was in tears. He was so sorry for disobeying his queen's orders. His good little prince went to Dongwei Kingdom and will never come back.
