"Where has this young man done business in the capital?"
A man stood in front of Ni Yueshan. He was dressed as a guard leader, holding a sword in his hand, and looking at her sharply.
Ni Yueshan responded with a smile, "I've supplied vegetables to the kitchen of the Prime Minister's Mansion many times, but the Prime Minister's Mansion has so few people, and I always felt that I couldn't make much money. I heard that there is a military camp outside the city with a large population, so the demand must be huge, so I came to the military camp outside the city."
"The Prime Minister's Mansion? Isn't the price offered by the Prime Minister's Mansion high enough? My dear brother, you look familiar. Do you know the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion?"
Ni Yueshan's heart skipped a beat. "I know, of course I know. I wonder why this commander would ask about the Ni family's daughter?"
"I heard that she was extremely ugly, and the birthmark on her face was almost identical to the one on yours."
He slowly approached Ni Yueshan, staring at her intently, as if examining her, and as if he had already seen through her disguise.
Ni Yueshan frowned tightly. "I don't know why this commander knows so much. Could it be that you know the young lady of the Ni family?"
Ni Yueshan gradually loosened her grip on the cart and looked at him with eyes full of suspicion.
"I wouldn't say I know her, but I just think you and her seem a bit similar."
He slowly approached Ni Yueshan step by step...
She clenched her fists and responded calmly, "Commander, what you said is a bit ridiculous. Why is the daughter of the Prime Minister here? If you have nothing else to do, I will leave first!"
Ni Yueshan pushed the cart past him, her nerves tense. If he continued to expose her, she would definitely not be able to leave here safely today.
But he didn't stop her and just watched her leave.
Ni Yueshan breathed a sigh of relief and walked back to the kitchen.
Qingdie felt a little strange when she saw Ni Yueshan sweating in such a cold day.
"Miss, what are you doing?"
Ni Yueshan made a gesture to keep quiet: "Go back first."
After leaving the tent, Ni Yueshan told Qingdie what had just happened, and a look of surprise flashed in Qingdie's eyes.
"No way, who is this person? How could he know so much? Could he have figured out your identity, young lady?"
"It's very likely..."
Ni Yueshan looked a little depressed. "But it doesn't matter. I'm not a spy spying on military secrets, nor am I an assassin plotting to murder others. Next time I see him, I'll just be on guard. Offending me is like provoking the Prime Minister's Mansion. He's just an ordinary general, so he shouldn't be thinking of provoking the Prime Minister's Mansion for no reason."
At nightfall, Ni Yueshan had already fallen asleep, but he heard the sound of a window opening outside.
Ni Yueshan opened her eyes, cautiously pulled out the dagger from under her pillow, and looked toward the window, only to see a figure approaching...
But Ni Yueshan quickly recognized the figure as Jing Yuchen!
"How did you find me?" Ni Yueshan looked at him in surprise.
"Didn't you also find the military camp?"
He sat down next to Ni Yueshan. Although they couldn't see each other's faces clearly in the dark, the outline reflected in their eyes gave them a strong sense of familiarity.
Ni Yueshan sat up straight and said seriously, "Zou Yangyao was the one who told me about your presence. I felt like he had some ulterior motive, and I was worried, so I came here."
Ni Yueshan moved closer to Jing Yuchen and said, "I didn't mean to cause you any trouble. It's just that he leaked the information to me on purpose. I feel like he had some premeditated plan, which is disturbing."
Jing Yuchen held Ni Yueshan's hand and said, "So, you are confused because of your concern?"
"Don't tease me. If he knew you were here and did nothing, wouldn't it be strange?"
"Well, what you said makes sense. But now that I understand, will you go back to the capital first?"
Ni Yueshan retracted his gripped hand: "I don't know how he's going to deal with you yet. I won't leave!"
In the dark room, Jing Yuchen looked at Ni Yueshan with deep eyes and sighed softly: "You are always so worrying..."
Ni Yueshan: “…”
Not hearing Ni Yueshan say anything else, Jing Yuchen said helplessly: "Be obedient and go back first!"
Ni Yueshan still said nothing.
Jing Yuchen felt somewhat helpless. He reached out and pinched Ni Yueshan's nose. "Have you been thinking about me every day recently? Now that you have seen me, it's time to go back."
Ni Yueshan shook his head: "Don't tell me what to do. If I want to go back, I will go back on my own!"
Ni Yueshan's attitude was too firm. Jing Yuchen felt helpless and finally stood up. "Okay, I'll go back first. If you don't want to stay, you must pay attention to your safety."
He started walking out, and Ni Yueshan quickly got off the bed: "Are you leaving now? Should I see you off?"
Jing Yuchen turned and looked at Ni Yueshan: "I just need to jump out of the window..."
Ni Yueshan's face darkened: "...Okay, have a nice journey."
Ni Yueshan looked at him with her arms folded across her chest and did not move forward.
Jing Yuchen didn't want to say anything more, but Ni Yueshan was obviously disappointed, so he reluctantly explained, "Father has assigned me this mission. As long as I complete it well, you and I can have a successful wedding. The three-month mission deadline will be over soon."
Ni Yueshan was stunned and asked, "What if it's not completed well?"
Ni Yueshan walked to his side and looked up at him. At this time, the two of them were standing by the window, and Ni Yueshan could see Jing Yuchen clearly in the moonlight.
Jing Yuchen's skin has been tanned due to the military training during this period. His evil face has a hint of determination, making him more outstanding and dazzling.
"Alas, the wedding date has become that old man's weak spot. This prince is furious. If I don't complete the task well, it might even be extended."
He took Ni Yueshan into his arms, letting her lean against his chest, and said with great frustration: "There are so many people you can use, but you choose to let this prince work so hard, and you even want to implicate you."
Ni Yueshan leaned in his arms and took a deep breath. It was a familiar smell, and she felt inexplicably greedy.
"Maybe the emperor sent you here because of me."
A hint of surprise flashed in Jing Yuchen's eyes: "Why do you say that?"
"I indirectly angered a First Rank Imperial Concubine to death. What a grave sin this is!"
But even though the emperor knew what was going on, he didn't take action against anyone. Wasn't it because of Jing Yuchen's consideration?
But the emperor's prestige still needed to be established, so he was sent here to carry out the mission!
Jing Yuchen stretched out his hand and flicked Ni Yueshan's forehead: "I didn't expect that you actually knew..."
"I'm not a fool. The Emperor has seen all sorts of drama. He might even think my sophistry is childish. Now that I'm here, don't even think about sending me away. A wedding is a matter for two people. Let's complete the mission together!"
