Zhuidamu's sharp, hawk-like eyes glared at him, a hint of hostility in them.
Yu Qingyi met that gaze, raised his eyes and smiled, "I don't think so. Yesterday, your men made things difficult for Miss Xie of the General's Mansion at Jinhua Tower, and the Crown Prince was also present. However, Miss Xie did not make things difficult for him. On the contrary, her words left them a way out. I think that, looking at the entire capital, no one will do anything to them."
Yu Qingyi's voice was loud and clear, and everyone around the city gate could hear it clearly. Moreover, the incident at Jinhua Tower yesterday had been witnessed by many people, and the news spread like wildfire.
Moreover, Zhuidamu had also heard rumors about yesterday's events.
At this moment, the comments in the crowd quickly made Zhuidamu's face turn gloomy, but he still trusted his people completely.
Hei Bu Shui was one of the most capable men in his barbarian Hei Bu Wei group; he would never fail in his duty like this.
"If the prince is truly worried, I will immediately order people to search far and wide and make sure they are found, is that alright?"
Just then, from behind the crowd, people saw a dark shadow flash by in the air. When they looked again, Yuwen Yao landed leisurely with his hands behind his back. He stood beside Yu Qingyi, his phoenix eyes and sword-like eyebrows, his face as beautiful as jade. In an instant, he stole the light and color of the world, attracting everyone's attention and making people hold their breath. Even if they were full of joy and endless praise, they were afraid of disturbing this beauty.
Zhuidamu's gaze met the Crown Prince's. After a moment, he got off the carriage and said in a rough and long voice, "Crown Prince of Beirong, greetings."
On the carriage, An Shangning looked at the Crown Prince who had appeared. At that moment, a dark light flashed in his eyes, and the murderous intent was quickly concealed.
"The prince's fiancée does look remarkably like the fourth young lady of my former Anping Marquis's mansion in Beirong."
Yuwen Yao's gaze had already passed over Zhuidamu and was now fixed on An Shangning on the carriage.
Yu Qingyi hadn't exposed it earlier, but Yuwen Yao immediately brought it up as soon as he appeared, creating a somewhat awkward atmosphere.
"Is that so?" In an instant, An Shangning calmed her emotions, gracefully stepped down, and gave Yuwen Yao a graceful bow, "This humble woman is Saiya."
“She is my fiancée.” Zhuidamu grabbed An Shangning’s hand and introduced her to Yuwen and Yu Qingyi with great enthusiasm.
"I see."
Yuwen Yao nodded slightly.
“It does look somewhat similar, but Your Highness, Miss An is long gone.” Yu Qingyi raised an eyebrow slightly, clearly trying to ease the tension.
"Hey, does your man have a grudge against this woman? Why is he questioning her identity like this?"
In the crowd, Nanfeng whispered to Xie Lingqin.
Xie Lingqin shook her head, then glanced at her, "Don't pretend with me, you didn't know that this Zhuidamu's fiancée is someone else."
"That's why I'm confused," Nan Fenghuang said frankly.
"You didn't see all these people around us—the Imperial Guards, commoners, noble families, and how many of them have seen An Shangning before? They just know that things are hard to say in this situation. But if we don't say anything now, when we enter the palace, or later, public opinion will suddenly rise up. Yuwen... well, my man is doing this to prevent future troubles. He's acting like a villain, but he's actually acting like a gentleman. Do you understand?"
Nan Fenghuang glanced at him and said, "He did it for you, didn't he?"
Xie Lingqin...
"……certainly."
He knew about my relationship with An Shangning. With his intelligence, even knowing why An Shangning was with Zhuidamu, he still helped her.
She knew.
An Shangning knew this, so her expression was complicated, and although her brow was trembling, she pretended to be calm.
"You two must be tired from your journey. I will immediately send someone to find the prince's subordinates." Yuwen Yao nodded slightly. The prince, who once seemed to be aloof and indifferent, was actually quite meticulous when it came to handling matters.
Zhuidamu naturally agreed, "I hope all my subordinates are safe and sound."
"Your Highness..." Zhuidamu had barely finished speaking when several guards stepped forward from the crowd, cupped their hands to the prince, and hesitated as if they wanted to say something but couldn't.
Yuwen Yao's eyes darkened. "What's wrong?"
"Your subordinates have located Hei Bu Shui and the others, but..."
"But what?"
"Your Highness, let's discuss this later."
The man lowered his expression, looking somewhat embarrassed.
"What exactly happened? I need to see Heibu Shui immediately." Zhuidamu looked at the person who came forward to report, took a few steps forward, his face solemn, clearly not wanting Yuwen Yao to suppress this matter.
Yuwen Yao also looked puzzled. He exchanged a glance with Yu Qingyi, then looked at Xie Lingqin in the crowd. In an instant, a smile bloomed in his heart like a profusion of flowers.
Most likely, it was her doing something again.
"Since the prince has made such a request, bring them up here."
"Crown Prince..."
The newcomer hesitated for a moment, then looked at Hei Bu Shui and said, "Your Highness, perhaps we should find a quiet place to discuss this further."
"No, I want to see my people."
Zhuidamu was resolute.
Helpless, the man withdrew at the prince's signal, and soon after, Hei Bu Shui and his men brought him up.
only……
Zhuidamu's complexion was no better than before; on the contrary, it was extremely unpleasant.
Because, although all his men were indeed safe and sound, they were all disheveled and their faces were flushed. Anyone could tell what they had just gone through.
"Black cloth water!"
Zhuidamu angrily rebuked, "I sent you to the capital to make arrangements, and this is how you behave? Huh? Is it...?" Zhuidamu's face darkened, and his tone changed, "...that you were framed?"
"Your subordinate..."
Hei Bu Shui only remembered a passionate night last night, and felt incredibly guilty. He suspected he had been framed, but in his memory, he had been in control the entire time. Just now, from a distance, he had overheard the prince's guards trying to save face for them, but his prince thought something had happened to them, so...
