Just now in Rongning Hall, Qin Yi was bored and subconsciously stared at Lin Xining. Later, he saw Lin Xining's servant come over and whisper something to Lin Xining. At such a long distance, Qin Yi certainly couldn't hear their conversation, but Qin Yi recognized the words "Crown Prince" from the shape of his lips.

After Lin Xining finished listening, there was no change on his face, but soon, he came out on the pretext of something.

Qin Yi immediately judged that Lin Xining had a problem, and it was a problem involving him. Qin Yi didn't care about the people around him and whispered to Chu Jinyao: "Follow this kid from the Lin family, I have something to do."

Chu Jinyao came out soon, and she whispered: "What's wrong?"

Qin Yi's tone was more serious than ever before.

"I suspect the Lin family is up to something. Be careful and follow this guy from a distance. I want to see what the Lin family is going to do."

Chu Jinyao was helpless when she heard Qin Yi ask her to follow Lin Xining. She followed her cousin, what kind of thing was this... But Chu Jinyao still followed Qin Yi's instructions and followed Lin Xining from a distance. Chu Jinyao

followed Lin Xining stealthily. When they turned a corner, Lin Xining suddenly stopped and started talking to the servant. Chu Jinyao quickly hid behind the corner. She leaned against the wall with her heart pounding.

"I was scared to death."

"It's okay, he won't find you. Even if he finds you, the Lin family won't dare to do anything to you."

Chu Jinyao felt strange: "Why do you keep calling you Lin family? They are from the Huailing County Prince's family, and it's the Prince's Mansion!"

Qin Yi sneered: "Prince's Mansion... Let alone they are princes of different surnames, even if they are the princes of the Qin family, what can they do?"

If Qin Yi hadn't been invisible, Chu Jinyao would have wanted to reach out to cover his mouth: "What are you talking about! How dare you talk nonsense about the royal family!"

"He has gone far away." Qin Yi said coldly, "If you don't go out, you will have come out in vain."

Chu Jinyao was startled, and poked his head out, and after making sure that there was no one, he trotted to catch up.

Finally, Chu Jinyao was in his own home, sneaking to a yard like a thief.

Chu Jinyao felt that this place was beyond the scope of the backyard, because there were not only men from other places coming and going, but also soldiers patrolling outside the yard. Chu Jinyao quietly asked Qin Yi: "Where is this?"

Qin Yi said: "You ask me?"

Chu Jinyao was speechless: "This... didn't you ask me to come here?"

"This is your home." Qin Yi said righteously without any reflection, "How would I know."

"Ah, you..."

"Lower your head, squat down."

Although Chu Jinyao complained to Qin Yi, his body unexpectedly obeyed him. Before Chu Jinyao could react, he had already squatted behind the bushes.

Chu Jinyao had never seen such a battle in his life. To be honest, she didn't really want to see it. Chu Jinyao lowered his voice and asked Qin Yi secretly: "What should we do now?"

"We're already here, get in."

"..." Chu Jinyao widened his eyes and said in disbelief, "You really think highly of me!"

"It's okay, I'm here." Qin Yi said, "Did you see these patrolmen? They are divided into two shifts and walk a circle every half an hour. When they are on duty, the side door at the southwest corner is a blind spot. If you run faster, you can slip directly into the corner door and into the yard."

Chu Jinyao estimated the distance with his eyes, endured for a long time, and couldn't help saying: "I... can't run over."

When Qin Yi was in Datong, he had a soldier who was trained by himself. He had trained soldiers for a long time, and he really didn't expect that someone couldn't run such a short distance. He was helpless and had to say, "Let me think about it."

Chu Jinyao looked for a while, lowered his head and asked, "Do we have to go in through the door? Is there any particularity to this?"

"There is no particularity. But, if you don't go in through the door, how else do you want to leave?"

"I think I can climb over the wall." Chu Jinyao estimated the height of the wall and said, "I used to climb trees often, so this height should be no problem. It's just that I'm wearing too much today."

Qin Yi couldn't respond for a while. He couldn't help but question: "You are a girl, how dare you climb the wall and climb the tree?"

"What's the big deal? I'll show you today." Chu Jinyao took advantage of the patrolman to walk to the other side, and quickly slipped to the corner of the wall, tied a big knot on her skirt, and then ran a short distance to the wall.

Qin Yi watched all this quietly. In his limited life, it was the first time that a woman lifted her skirt in front of him and tied a knot, and climbed over the wall in front of him.

"Chu Jinyao."

"Hmm?" Chu Jinyao was busy climbing the wall, and she took a break to respond.

"I'll stop. You should be more reserved when facing other men in the future." Qin Yi sighed, "I'm really afraid that you won't be able to get married."

Chu Jinyao glared at him angrily: "Shut up, if you say it again, I'll throw you down."

Chu Jinyao said she could climb trees, and she was not modest. Not long after, she flipped over the wall. She half-squatted and looked down, looking for a suitable place to land. There was a tree planted by the wall. Chu Jinyao moved lightly to the tree, stretched out her feet to test the thickness of the tree, and then flipped over the tree, using the branches to cushion her rush, and whispered to Qin Yi: "Get ready."

Before Qin Yi could reply, Chu Jinyao jumped to the ground with a whoosh.

The knot on her skirt had already come undone halfway. Chu Jinyao clapped her hands and was about to stand up when she heard a laughing voice from the corner: "What are you doing?"

Chu Jinyao looked up in shock, her eyes widened. A boy of about sixteen or seventeen slowly walked out from behind the corner. He had a handsome face, a tall and slender figure, and light amber eyes. Now he was smiling, and his eyes were even more gentle and moist.

He looked at Chu Jinyao and couldn't help laughing: "Whose daughter are you? Why are you here?"

Chu Jinyao was still squatting on the ground, her huge and gorgeous peacock-like skirt spread out, making her look even thinner: "I... I'm a maid!"

The young man laughed even more fiercely. He walked over and stretched out his hand to Chu Jinyao: "Stand up first, your skirt is very beautiful, it will be a pity if it gets dirty."

Chu Jinyao then realized that she was still... Crouching on the ground, she took a step back, avoiding the young man's hand, and stood up by herself: "Thank you, sir, it's not necessary."

The young man also thought of the rules that men and women should not touch each other, so he took his hand back without any offense, pulled out a snow-white handkerchief from his sleeve, and handed it to Chu Jinyao: "Your hands are dirty, wipe them first." After saying that, the young man thought of something and added: "This is a plain handkerchief made of Yunjin, there is no mark, you don't have to be afraid."

Chu Jinyao was very wary of the person who suddenly appeared in front of her. Hearing his words, Chu Jinyao couldn't help but blurted out: "You use Yunjin as a handkerchief?"

The young man began to laugh again. His eyes were like a lake in the deep forest, especially quiet, and when he laughed, the lake became intoxicating. The young man felt that he hadn't met such an interesting girl for a long time. He held back his laughter and said, "You're right. I won't do this next time."

Chu Jinyao was a little embarrassed. It was embarrassing to meet someone when climbing over the wall, and she met such a handsome and young man. Chu Jinyao wished she could disappear from the ground immediately. She lowered her head, tried her best to cover her face, and said, "I'm a maid. I have errands. I'll leave first."

After that, she lifted her skirt slightly and ran out. She ran two steps and found something wrong. If she went out like this, wouldn't it be a waste of time? So Chu Jinyao stopped, and walked around the boy and passed by him.

The boy was calm and looked at what Chu Jinyao was going to do with a smile. The girl, who was dressed in a white cloud and looked like a bright moon, ran two steps, stopped angrily, and called weakly: "Father..." When

Changxing Hou came out, he saw Chu Jinyao standing in the courtyard. He was very surprised: "Why did you come here?"

"I... I..." This time Chu Jinyao couldn't make up any nonsense like "I'm a maid". She stammered for a long time and couldn't speak.

The exceptionally handsome young man took two steps forward, nodded to Marquis Changxing, and said, "I brought her in. I saw her at the door and thought she was going to come in to look for someone, so I brought her in."

Marquis Changxing quickly bowed and said, "Prince, why did you come out? It's so easy for us to find you."

"Prince?" Chu Jinyao repeated in a low voice.

Chu Jinyao's voice was so low that Marquis Changxing didn't hear it. Instead, Lin Xiyuan turned around and said to her with a smile, "Yes. I am the prince of Huailing Palace, named Lin Xiyuan." As he spoke, Lin Xiyuan also blinked at Chu Jinyao, indicating that he would not tell anyone what had just happened.

The only thought in Chu Jinyao's mind was "it's over". It was too embarrassing. She had just told others that she was a maid, but she was exposed before she had even taken two steps. Moreover, he said that he was the prince of Huailing Palace. Doesn't that mean that the county lord is his sister? Should they, the girls, be chosen to be his sister's study companions?

Chu Jinyao didn't want to be a study companion in the first place, and now that she ran into the prince of the palace, she didn't want to go even more.

Whoever wants to go can go. She is too embarrassed to go.

Seeing that Chu Jinyao lowered her head and didn't speak, Lin Xiyuan thought that she was frightened by her identity, so he smiled and stopped questioning her. Marquis Changxing didn't notice all this. He looked at Lin Xiyuan and said, "Prince, we have prepared a welcoming banquet for you. Shall we go now?"

"Okay." Lin Xiyuan nodded. He glanced at Chu Jinyao and said, "However, we have to send the young lady back first. Lin Er, send Miss Chu back."

A guard behind Lin Xiyuan responded, and Marquis Changxing hurriedly said, "Don't bother the prince. I'll send someone to send my daughter back." As he spoke, Marquis Changxing added, "My daughter is naughty. I'm sorry to embarrass you, Prince."

This was originally a very common self-deprecating remark made by parents. Unexpectedly, Lin Xiyuan chuckled and said meaningfully, "No."

Chu Jinyao buried her head lower and lower. Marquis Changxing didn't understand why. He looked at Lin Xiyuan, then at Chu Jinyao, and felt that something seemed wrong.

But Changxing Hou didn't have time to ask about this matter carefully, because Lin Xiyuan turned around and walked out soon, so he could only hurry to catch up. Before leaving, Changxing Hou whispered to his daughter: "Why are you here? This is not the place for you, go back!"

Changxing Hou thought his daughter didn't know the way and went the wrong way.

"Yes." Chu Jinyao agreed, and then hurried away.

When they arrived at a deserted place, Chu Jinyao looked around, patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief: "Oh my God, I was scared to death. Fortunately, I was not exposed and came out smoothly."

Qin Yi whispered to himself: "Why is he here too..."

"Are you talking about the prince?" Chu Jinyao asked, and was suddenly surprised, "Oh, I forgot, we didn't do anything for you!"

"You're already out, forget it." Qin Yi said, "Besides, I already know."

"What do you know?" Chu Jinyao was shocked. What did she do, and Qin Yi knew it?

Qin Yi refused to say more, but reminded Chu Jinyao: "You should go back, don't forget what you told your elder sister."

"Yes, I have to go back quickly, otherwise my grandmother will send someone to look for me, and I will be exposed!"

Chu Jinyao walked back quickly, Qin Yi said nothing, but he was thinking about something.

The second wife of the Lin family came to Changxing Marquis's Mansion, and she could still use returning to her parents' home to cover it up, but why did Lin Xiyuan come here too? And he wanted to have a private talk with Changxing Marquis alone?

Changxing Marquis's Mansion, Huailing Prince's Mansion, what exactly do they want to do? Just by the shape of the servant's mouth when Lin Xining left, Qin Yi was very sure that the matter they tried so hard to cover up was related to him. Qin Yi thought of his still unconscious body and became more and more anxious.

When Chu Jinyao returned to Rongning Hall, Chu Jinxian asked her a lot of questions, but she managed to fool him. They spent the whole afternoon in front of the old lady. During dinner, a maid whispered something in the old lady's ear, and the old lady Chu suddenly became excited.

The girls looked at the old lady Chu in confusion. At this time, the maid outside the house announced: "Prince Huailing has arrived."
