It was noon when Ning Qing returned to the mansion.
Just as I picked up my chopsticks to eat, the system popped up: Host, aren't you going to call the mission target over to eat together and build a relationship?
Ning Qing was suspicious. The system had always opposed her getting close to the mission target, so why was it taking the initiative to ask her to get close to the mission target and cultivate a relationship with him today?
Ning Qing: Isn't the person in this mansion his double?
System: How did the host know?
Ning Qing: Cat, it's enough to know you're stupid, there's no need to rush to show it.
As he finished lunch and took off his clothes to go to bed, darkness suddenly appeared from nowhere, bowing its head and kneeling on one knee, saying, "Your subordinate greets Your Highness."
Ning Qing casually tossed her outer robe aside and hung it on the screen, slightly surprised, and said, "You're back? That was quick. Stand up and answer me."
Ning Qingqian estimated that it would take at least a month to make the round trip, but Hei Ye actually made the round trip in 10 days. Did he grow superhuman speed?
System: How could it not be fast? This guy is ruthless; he's been running non-stop for days, and several horses have died along the way.
Ning Qing felt ashamed: He really is a ruthless person.
Hei Ye obediently stood up, her head still bowed, and took out a thick envelope from her bosom, handing it to Ning Qing with both hands.
"This is a letter that the prince instructed his subordinates to bring back to the heir."
Ning Qing took it, looked at his dark circles, which were comparable to those of an emperor, and his tired face, and waved her hand, "Alright, you can go and rest now."
He bowed his head and took his leave in the darkness.
Ning Qing held the somewhat heavy envelope in her hand, opened it, and used two slender, fair fingers to pick out a piece of paper with many words written on it. She set it aside for a moment, and then picked out a metal lump that looked like a token from the envelope. She held it in her palm and saw that the front was engraved with the character "令" (command), and the back was engraved with a lion.
Ning Qing put down the token, picked up the letter and read it line by line. After reading it, she understood that this was a backup plan left by the Prince of Jin'an for his son. This token could command 30,000 elite troops, but the last instruction was: do not take out the token unless absolutely necessary.
After reading the letter, Ning Qing muttered to himself: It seems that Prince Jin'an is not a blindly loyal subject. This makes things easier.
Ning Qing tossed the token into the system space. The system, which looked quite gossipy, almost got hit on the fluffy little head by the token. The token grazed its fur, and the system could hear the whooshing sound of the token carrying it in.
The system was so angry that it jumped up and down, shouting, "Host, you mustn't litter!"
Ning Qing: Cat, that's a very important thing. I'm entrusting such an important thing to you for safekeeping. You should take good care of it, right?
The system was speechless for a moment, inwardly lamenting: "Since you've said that, how can I possibly throw him out?"
Ning Qing said softly: "Be a good kitty."
The system instinctively let out a "meow," startled, and quickly covered its mouth with its little paws.
The inner lament: This is definitely not the sound I made. It must have been bewitched by the host to make such a soft, meowing sound.
The system's cool and arrogant image was completely ruined. It was so sad that it took out its handkerchief again and went to sit in the corner and whimper.
Upon hearing that clear "meow," Ning Qing smiled with the satisfaction of an old father; the cat system had finally recognized its identity.
Ning Qing finally lay down on the bed she had been longing for, pulled the blanket over herself, and performed her amazing skill of falling asleep in a second.
