After leaving the palace, Ye Qingwan kept thinking about what happened tonight.
She and Qingqing went to ambush the Seventh Princess's carriage. Even Qingqing mistook it for Xia Xuejian's carriage and had no idea that the person coming was the Seventh Princess. This proved that their ambush had not been leaked in advance.
But looking at the actions of Prince Xiang and the old tutor, it was obvious that they knew their actions in advance and ambushed them deliberately.
Especially King Xiang, he even deployed his soldiers in advance, just waiting for them to take action and catch them in the trap.
But how could King Xiang know their actions?
"Honghong, why are you and Xingmu there?" Ye Qingwan looked at Honghong in the carriage and felt that they both came at the right time.
Zhongyuan Yidianhong didn't want to hide it anymore and said directly: Because I saw your complaining subtitles.
But what came out was: "Just passing by."
A little red in the Central Plains:? ?
Not allowed to speak?
I didn't believe it, so I continued: I know this is a novel world, Madam, a vicious female supporting role, I am your licking dog, I can see all your complaints every day...
He spilled all the secrets he had been holding in his heart in one breath, but as soon as he said it, it came out: "I was worried about you, so I followed you."
A Little Red in the Central Plains: …
Go to that fucking world of novels, they really don’t let me talk about it.
That's all.
Zhongyuan Yidianhong decided not to be angry with the plot setting and wanted to advise her: Don’t complain in your heart in the future.
What he said was: "Be careful next time and don't act on your own."
A Little Red in the Central Plains: …
I...you big...
Although Ye Qingwan didn't quite believe it, seeing that he looked furious and had no place to vent his anger, she knew she couldn't get anything out of him, so she just nodded and said nothing more.
After a good night's sleep, her father came to see her the next day to talk about the murder of the seventh princess.
"Now His Majesty is furious and has ordered a thorough investigation. Liu Sheng has led the Jinyiwei to search everywhere and set up checkpoints at the city gates. Anyone leaving the city is searched. The people of the capital are in a panic. Tell me the truth, is this matter related to you?"
Ye Qingwan quickly shook her head: "Dad, it really has nothing to do with me."
Seeing that her father didn't seem to believe her, Ye Qingwan immediately swore: "I swear, I really didn't kill the Seventh Princess, otherwise I will be struck by lightning."
As soon as he raised his hand, the Prime Minister pushed it back: "Alright, even if you killed him, there is no need to swear such a poisonous oath."
"During this period of time, don't go to Liu Mansion again and keep your distance from Liu Sheng. The Seventh Princess has just passed away, and His Majesty will be suspicious of anyone who gets close to him."
Ye Qingwan listened to her father's instructions, and suddenly an idea flashed through her mind. So the old tutor was trying to keep a distance from her, was it for the emperor to see?
He agreed verbally, but as soon as he went out, he went to Liu's house to borrow a carriage.
The Seventh Princess was killed last night while riding in the Liu Mansion's carriage. The carriage must know what happened. She remembered that there was a skill for animals to communicate with inanimate objects when exchanging skill points in the system.
Exchange this skill, or you can ask something.
So he pulled Honghong away, but Honghong refused to let her go: "Have you forgotten what the Prime Minister just told you? Keep your distance from Liu Sheng."
"Am I not keeping my distance? I am not seeing him. I am borrowing his carriage. Is that not allowed?" Does the emperor live by the sea? Why does he care so much?
But Zhongyuan Yidianhong refused to let go. Instead, he changed his usual playful smile and asked her seriously, "Are you in love with him?"
Ye Qingwan's first reaction was: "What nonsense are you talking about? He is my teacher, teacher, do you know what that means?"
In ancient times, there was a saying that a teacher is like a father, which means that a teacher is your second father.
Have you ever heard of someone dating their father?
Brain dead.
Ye Qingwan rolled her eyes at him, but she felt inexplicably nervous in her heart, and she didn't even dare to look directly into Zhongyuan Yidianhong's eyes.
It must be because there have been too many things going on recently and people are feeling upset.
"Then come with me." Zhongyuan Yidianhong said in a serious tone.
"Where are you going?"
"Anywhere is fine, even to the ends of the earth, as long as you want to go, I will accompany you." There was even a hint of pleading in Zhongyuan Yidianhong's eyes.
Ever since Prince Xiang returned to the capital, the capital has become a mess, devouring their lives all the time.
He didn't want Ye Qingwan to continue to interfere here. Isn't it just a plot?
Let's not leave. Even if we can only be happy for one day, it's better than having to go through this crappy plot in frustration, right?
But he soon became a little hesitant again, because... he was afraid that if Ye Qingwan did not follow the plot, the world would immediately turn upside down.
Then they were reborn again and returned to the starting point. He was afraid that he would not be able to recognize her without his memory.
If he were reborn again, and he didn't remember her and couldn't hear her complaints, then maybe he would really follow the original plot and be an undercover agent lurking beside her and do everything he could to hurt her.
Ye Qingwan rarely saw him so serious and solemn, with a look of sadness on his face. She couldn't help but hold his face and said, "Wait a minute. When I finish my work, we will leave the capital and never come back."
Zhongyuan Yidianhong looked at her for a long time, and finally nodded: "You said it, don't lie to me."
"Look at what you said. When have I ever lied to you?"
Zhongyuan Yidianhong rolled his eyes and said, "You really have no idea about yourself. You should tell me when you didn't lie to me, you heartless person."
"Pin," he said, stretching out his little finger and making a pinky promise with her, saying, "Pin and hang yourself, and don't change your mind for a hundred years."
"Tsk, you're so childish." Ye Qingwan said with disgust but had a big smile on her face.
The two put aside their worries and skipped to Liu's house to borrow a carriage.
"Don't call me Honghong anymore."
"Why? Isn't Honghong nice to listen to?"
"It sounds good, but I don't want to be Zhongyuan Yidianhong anymore."
"Who do you want to be then?"
"Ning Shaoqing." He said these three words very seriously: "From now on, I want to be Ning Shaoqing again."
Ye Qingwan stopped and looked at him, then extended her hand to shake his hand: "Hello, my name is Ye Qingwan, nice to meet you."
He was stunned for a moment, then he happily reached out and held her hand, imitating her: "Hello, my name is Ning Shaoqing, and I'm glad to meet you too."
"Hahaha." They both laughed heartily.
The two of them laughed heartily, but they didn't realize they had already reached the gate of Liu's mansion. Liu Sheng, who had just returned from the Jinyiwei, was watching them silently from the side.
When they came back to their senses, Ye Qingwan quickly put away her idiotic expression and bowed to the old master: "Greetings, Master."
"Is there something?" Liu Sheng's voice was cold.
Ye Qingwan took a deep breath and explained her purpose, but she didn't say that she was here to investigate the cause of the Seventh Princess' death.
Liu Sheng didn't act pretentiously and got off the carriage: "Please go ahead."
"Thank you, Master."
As Ye Qingwan spoke, she was about to get on the carriage, but perhaps because she was absent-minded or what, her foot slipped and she fell forward, about to fall flat on her face.
In a panic, a broad hand grasped her palm and supported her.
She looked up in surprise and met the old master's worried eyes.
