Chapter 116 Falling asleep in broad daylight
In Chuncheng, Gu Qingheng was flipping through an old picture album.
"Your Highness, we have arrived." Changhe reined in his horse, then lifted the curtain and said to him.
Gu Qingheng nodded quietly, bent down, got out of the carriage, and looked at the people passing by.
He wondered quietly whether Zhao Mingzhu had also walked this street.
Then she must be smiling, feeling relieved that she had successfully escaped from the shackles of the Eastern Palace.
Gu Qingheng's expression faded.
In front of the Spring City Lord's Mansion, the Lord came out to greet him and said respectfully:
"I pay my respects to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. May Your Highness live a thousand years."
The Lord of Chuncheng City had met Gu Qingheng before, and when he saw him again, he still felt like he was seeing a god.
"Get up. I came here to look for someone. The city lord should have known about this."
There are thousands of islands in Chuncheng, and they are separated from each other, so it is most convenient and quick to let the Lord of Chuncheng intervene in the search.
After hearing this, the Lord of Spring City followed closely behind him:
"But, Your Highness, who is it that requires you to come here in person to capture?"
It would take seven days to travel from Chuncheng to the capital without any obstruction, but when he received the order, it was only four days ago.
The Lord of Spring City looked up and even these four days had not arrived.
Gu Qingheng stepped into the City Lord's Mansion and said calmly, "They stole the most precious treasure in my palace."
"How could there be such a thief who is so bold!"
The Lord of Spring City was incredulous and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness! As long as that person is still within my jurisdiction, I will bring him to justice even if I have to dig three feet underground!"
Gu Qingheng smiled faintly when he heard this, and when others saw him, his clothes fluttered in the wind, like an immortal about to fly away.
"who is he?"
At the end of the Nine-Curved Corridor, a woman in purple leaned over and looked over, a flash of surprise in her eyes.
Could he be the son-in-law that my father found?
"Miss, I heard that he is the master's distinguished guest. The ceremony is so grand, it must be of great importance." The maid also looked over and said.
It turned out that he was not a son-in-law, Feichan was a little disappointed.
But she soon became optimistic again. She thought there was still hope. Her father loved her so much. What if the other party was willing?
Feichan thought naively.
After the Lord of Chuncheng City discussed with Gu Qingheng, he sent the person to the carefully prepared room, and when he returned, he saw his daughter waiting for him.
"Chan'er, what are you doing here?"
The Lord of Chuncheng looked back at Gu Qingheng's room, then pulled his daughter away.
Fei Chan followed behind him and looked at him eagerly: "Dad, you are going to find a son-in-law for me, and your daughter wants him."
The Lord of Chuncheng twisted his ankle and almost fell flat on his face.
He held onto the pillar and turned back to ask, "Recruit a son-in-law? Recruit him?"
"Yeah." Fei Chan nodded. He was handsome and she liked him very much.
"Okay, eat more tonight." The Lord of Chuncheng said with a pleasant face.
Feichan didn't understand after hearing this: "Huh?"
The Lord of Chuncheng laughed even more creepily.
"After the execution meal, our whole family will go to heaven together tomorrow."
Feichan: ...Is it that serious?
She was the youngest daughter in the family and was very spoiled. She started to act spoiled after hearing this:
"Dad, you said it yourself. You can recruit any man I like in Chuncheng. Now that I have someone I like, you regret it again."
The Lord of Spring City did not try to appease her, but pointed out the other party's mistake: "But he is not from Spring City."
After hearing this, Feichan felt that the other party was unreasonable. She stamped her feet and said:
"Anyway, my daughter wants him, otherwise she will never marry!"
Then she flew away like a butterfly, holding up her skirt.
"This child."
The city lord rubbed his forehead in anger and told the people behind him, "Go find the lady and ask her to keep a close eye on the young lady so she doesn't get into trouble."
"Yes, sir, I'll go right away."
… “My dad is gone?”
Fei Chan stretched her head to look at the disappeared Lord of Chuncheng, then excitedly tiptoed towards the room.
"Alas, Miss, we can't go over there. After all, that distinguished guest is a foreigner!"
The maid quickly grabbed her and tried to persuade her.
"I see so many strange men every day when I go out, so what if I look at them a little more?" Fei Chan turned her head nonchalantly and said:
"Don't ruin my business, and don't complain, or I'll make you pay."
After Feichan finished speaking, she quietly approached the back of the wing. She remembered that there was a pomelo tree there, and she could climb up to see the other person up close.
The distance was still a bit far just now, so she might make a mistake.
The maid anxiously looked at Feichan climbing up, praying in her heart that she would not be seen by anyone.
Feichan climbed to the highest point and found that there was a screen blocking the inside.
But the other person's tall and slender figure fell on the screen, and from a distance he looked like a piece of jade.
Feichan looked up and thought about it. If she continued to climb, she might be able to get over the screen and see more clearly.
She climbed up with great effort, but noticed that the hem of her skirt was caught on a branch. Feichan frowned and pulled it.
There was a very loud tearing sound, and Fei Chan looked hurriedly into the room. She looked closely and found that the person behind the screen had left without knowing when.
But she couldn't care less. Since the person had left, she went back to change her clothes first.
"Xiao Huan?"
"Xiao Huan?!"
Fei Chan was a little panicked. She bent down and looked through the branches, but her personal maid was nowhere to be seen. She turned around to look at the screen. Was she seeing a ghost in broad daylight?
Fei Chan firmly believed that it was impossible to encounter a ghost in broad daylight. She looked over again, and this time her pupils froze.
The sharp sword was pointed at her face. If it was any closer, her face might be disfigured!
"Ah! Help, Dad!"
Feichan started screaming at the top of her lungs, scaring all the birds around her so that they flew away.
To make matters worse, the branch under her feet broke and she missed a step and fell.
She caught a glimpse of the silver from the corner of her eye, and she felt a little hopeful. What if the other party came to the rescue? Should she be more reserved?
Fei Chan didn't react until it hit the ground hard.
Then the pain came, and Feichan screamed with gritted teeth.
"Ouch, ouch, I'm going to die, my leg is broken!"
This movement had already called back the Lord of Chuncheng who had left.
He looked at his daughter calling from under the tree, and... Gu Qingheng and the attendant who was polishing his sword beside him.
He had a vague idea of what had happened, and he cursed his daughter in his heart for still having such evil intentions.
"What are you all standing there for? Take the young lady away! It's an eyesore!"
Then he walked up to Gu Qingheng and said ashamedly:
"It's all because of my poor parenting that I allowed her to be so presumptuous. I've heard of Your Highness's reputation and have always longed to meet him, but I never got the chance, so I came up with this cunning plan."
Gu Qingheng looked at Yan Zi and suddenly remembered the day when Zhao Mingzhu was carried back from General Yongwei's mansion.
So quiet, so pitiful.
"When your daughter wakes up, I'll ask her some questions."
After hearing this, the city lord was surprised and asked, what questions could His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ask his daughter?
Despite his doubts, he lowered his head and said, "Yes...but the young lady seems to have fainted."
The city lord frowned after hearing this and said sternly to his followers:
"You woke the young lady up, and then fell asleep in broad daylight. How shameless!"
The follower nodded silently after hearing this.
