Chapter 321 Something is wrong
"princess?"
Nan Zheng asked again without waiting for a response.
"Got it, I'll be right there."
Yun Qingqing threw the paperweight in her hand back into the space, got up and went out.
Nan Zheng was leading the way in front. Yun Qingqing found that he was not going in the direction of the courtyard where Xiao Changheng lived, but went directly to the front yard.
"Are there any guests at home?" she asked.
"It's Prince Nanyujing who has come." Nan Zheng replied.
“…Oh, it’s him.” Yun Qingqing thought of this person.
Prince Jing, also known as Nanyu's second prince Lu Fan, it is quite interesting that he came to the Regent's Palace at this time.
When Yun Qingqing came to the front hall, she saw Xiao Changheng sitting in the host seat and Lu Fan sitting in the guest seat drinking tea. When he saw her, he immediately stood up and saluted.
"Meet the Princess Regent."
Yun Qingqing returned the greeting and looked at Xiao Changheng who was coming forward. He had a calm expression, showing no emotion. He welcomed her to a seat and said,
"His Royal Highness Prince Jing will be leaving for Yujing tomorrow. I have been ordered to escort him and have specifically informed the princess."
"Leaving tomorrow?" Yun Qingqing was slightly stunned, then she thought that Lu Fan had stayed in Dijing for so long, and finally he could leave after the negotiation was completed, so he was naturally anxious to return to Nanyu, which was understandable.
Thinking of this, she turned her head and looked at Lu Fan.
Xiao Changheng frowned slightly and said "hmm" lightly.
Yun Qingqing inexplicably felt that this person was in a bad mood, but she couldn't see any clues.
Lu Fan suddenly spoke:
"Princess Regent, Chu Jingyan's whereabouts have been unknown since he escaped last time. I'm always worried. If something really happens on the way, I'm afraid the Regent will be implicated by me..."
"Your Highness Prince Jing! Don't forget what you promised me!" Xiao Changheng suddenly interrupted him in a cold voice.
Lu Fan grinned:
"Why are you so anxious, Prince Regent? I didn't say anything else. I just wanted to ask the princess for some protective items. Besides, isn't this also for your safety?"
Yun Qingqing began to understand a little bit. This Prince Jing most likely wanted her to escort him back to Nanyu, but was stopped by Xiao Changheng, so she wanted to send him back personally.
She pondered for a moment and said:
"Actually, if I take this trip..."
Lu Fan's eyes lit up. As expected, there was the Chu Jingyan incident first, and now the Regent was involved. The princess would not be at ease and would definitely come along.
"No need!" Xiao Changheng interrupted directly, "Your Majesty's decree is that I am sent as an envoy to Nanyu. As a courtesy, I will also escort Prince Jing back to the court. The list of envoys has been finalized and cannot be changed."
Yun Qingqing: “…Oh.”
She originally wanted to say that if Lu Fan left two days later, she would have finished the things she was doing, and then she could go with him to ensure that everything was safe.
I didn't expect that the emperor would issue an edict to send an envoy, so the departure time is naturally difficult to change.
A gleam of light flashed in Yun Qingqing's eyes as she glanced at the two of them. She saw that Xiao Changheng's purple aura was still pure and majestic.
In comparison, Lu Fan's purple energy was not as rich and was slightly mottled, but it was also a sign of extremely prosperous fortune.
I think when he returns this time, the structure of the Nanyu court will definitely change.
These two people are not the type who are suitable for fortune-telling. If we only look at their luck, there will be no problem unless there are people from the Xuanmen sect causing trouble.
If we consider people like Chu Jingyan...
As for her now, she does have a solution.
So she nodded to Lu Fan:
"Got it. I'll prepare a few talismans for you later to ensure you're safe on the road."
"Then I'll trouble you, Princess." The hope in Lu Fan's eyes died, but he couldn't say anything. He could only bow and glance at Xiao Changheng faintly.
A certain regent was not in a good mood either, and said expressionlessly:
"Now that it's settled, Prince Jing, if you have nothing else to do, please leave."
Yun Qingqing had already started to quickly figure out how to deal with the pile of things at hand, and did not notice the undercurrents between the two people. After Lu Fan left, she went to the backyard with Xiao Changheng.
She lowered her eyes in deep thought, saying nothing along the way. When she was about to reach the gate of her yard, an arm suddenly appeared in front of her and stopped her.
When she looked up, she found that Xiao Changheng had followed her here and was looking at her seriously.
Yun Qingqing was stunned, and looked at him doubtfully for a moment.
"Are you... worried about the journey?"
This man was obviously worried, and considering that he was going on a diplomatic mission to Nanyu, she immediately felt that she understood.
Xiao Changheng's expression grew increasingly cold and hard, and he said in a calm voice:
"Are you that worried about Prince Jing?"
Yun Qingqing frowned and said:
"Don't mention it. This guy has been in Liang for so long. If anything happens to him, it will cause a major dispute between the two countries. I finally sent him away. I don't want anything else to go wrong!"
"Is that all?" Xiao Changheng asked dimly, "Do you have anything else to tell me?"
At the man's words, she generously gave him a bunch of talismans, but he didn't show any gratitude to her.
When Yun Qingqing heard him ask this, she suddenly realized:
“Oh, yes!”
Xiao Changheng's expression relaxed slightly and he waited for her next words.
Yun Qingqing smiled at him:
"Be sure to wait for me before you leave tomorrow morning. I'll take you there."
Xiao Changheng: ...
That’s it?
There seems to be some concern, but not much.
"It's a deal. You are not allowed to leave before you see me!" Yun Qingqing's eyes were bright. She said this in a good mood, turned around and walked quickly into the courtyard.
Xiao Changheng watched her back disappear behind the door, gritted his teeth in inexplicable annoyance, and strode away with a flick of his sleeves.
Yun Qingqing returned to her room, immediately sent a signal, and then took out a pen and paper.
When Zhiluo flashed into the house, she saw her writing furiously.
Noticing the movement, she said without raising her head:
"Wait a moment, it will be ready soon."
Zhiluo came over with a curious look on her face, and when she saw what she wrote, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.
"This is... the new rules of the Tianming Pavilion you mentioned last time?"
Yun Qingqing didn't have time to pay attention to her. She quickly finished the last page, finally threw the pen on the table, and let out a long sigh:
"I've been brewing this for a while. Take a look at it first and take it back to prepare. If there are any changes that need to be made, I'll come over tomorrow to discuss it."
"No, what are you busy with? Why are you in such a hurry?"
Zhiluo was asking this question in confusion when someone pushed her out the door, and the door slammed shut in front of her.
"Okay, I have things to do now. You go first."
Zhiluo:……?
What's going on with this guy? Something's wrong.
Inside the house, Yun Qingqing had already taken out the paperweight, sat quietly, and entered the inner scene.
