Having already put on such a performance, and with the other party still remaining silent, Ning Qing decided to take drastic measures.
"If you still don't believe me, move in with me. You'll see everything I do and say every day. That should put your mind at ease, right?"
Wu Chenxi pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
The other party's martial arts skills are so superb, it would be even better if we could recruit him to our side, not to mention that he has the powerful and valiant Prince Jin'an behind him.
Ning Qing quickly approached Wu Chenxi and, before the other could react, lightly kissed her cheek. Then, she retreated at lightning speed, disappearing into the woods with a light tap of her toes.
In the woods, Wu Chenxi covered her cheek, which had been successfully ambushed, her face dark and horribly grim. She growled in the direction Ning Qing had left, "Ning... Qing..."
Ning Qing quickly returned to her residence. In her own courtyard, she was overjoyed, thinking to herself: "Hmph, you dared to dress up as a woman and deceive me. Now you're disgusted enough!"
The system heard Ning Qing's thoughts and was speechless. Stealing a kiss from someone just to disgust them? The host is quite something.
System: Host, will you do the original owner's wish mission?
Ning Qing suddenly had a bad feeling. The reason was that, given the original owner's complicated identity and background, the wishes and tasks could not be easily completed.
Ning Qing wailed inwardly: I just want to lie down.
The system is in a dilemma: should I speak or not?
Ning Qing, imagining being struck by lightning, chickened out: "Fine, I'll tell you."
System: Okay, the original owner's wish is to be a good heir of the Prince of Jin'an's mansion and not to reveal that he is a girl.
Ning Qing: Pretending to be a man is fine, but being a good prince...
If one wants to become the heir apparent, then first and foremost, the Jin'an Prince's Mansion must not fall.
But the emperor, in his cowardly manner, would never let the people of the Prince of Jin'an's mansion go.
Then there's only one option...
Ning Qing went into the study and wrote a letter home.
He summoned the leader of the secret guards, "Night," who had always acted as an invisible shadow.
A thin man in black suddenly appeared, knelt on the ground, and lowered his head, saying, "Your Highness, I am here."
Ning Qing looked at the thin man in front of her, handed him the letter, and said, "Pass this on to my father. Remember, no one else can see this letter. Can you do that?"
He accepted the document with both hands and solemnly replied, "Your subordinate swears to complete the prince's mission with his life."
Ning Qing nodded in satisfaction, "Go and do it quickly, and you will be richly rewarded when you return."
He replied "Yes" in the darkness and disappeared into the house in the blink of an eye.
Ning Qing wrote this letter primarily to test the Prince of Jin'an's attitude towards the emperor, after all...
Ning Qing left the study and instructed the maids to prepare hot water, as she wanted to take a bath.
A moment later, Ning Qing took a hot bath. Her slender, fair fingers gently brushed across the water's surface, and the flower petals shyly parted to the sides.
The next day, Wu Chenxi stepped into Ning Qing's courtyard with a dark expression, followed by a group of servants carrying large boxes.
Ning Qing blinked and said, "Didn't we already prepare a courtyard for you?"
Wu Chenxi approached Ning Qing and whispered in her ear, "I'm here to keep an eye on you, so naturally we'll be living together."
Ning Qing asked blankly, "Supervision?"
Wu Chenxi nodded, looked around, and finally designated a room next to Ning Qing's bedroom. She had someone carry the box in, then stepped into the room and closed the door.
Ning Qing: Isn't this person a bit too familiar? Did I agree? The things were moved in.
System: Host, this may not be a bad thing.
The protected target has moved right next door to you, so what's the point of the protection mission? Who would dare to mess with your people right under your nose?
Ning Qing: It seems to make a lot of sense, but something also seems off.
