"Ye Qingwan, I am not done with you..."

A voice that resounded through the sky came from behind, but instead of attracting any attention, it caused a roar of laughter.

Especially Zhongyuan Yidianhong and Liu Sheng, they almost died of laughter.

Ye Qingwan couldn't help it either. "Sorry, system. I was so happy today that I forgot to follow the plot. Is that against the rules?"

Hahaha!

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to laugh, but he was so funny, like an innocent boy who suddenly lost his virginity.

When they returned to the camp, Ye Qingwan felt that it was time to start the story again. So she raised her whip and scolded Honghong: "Where did you run to just now? Do you know that I almost died?"

Honghong: ...

You are the most comfortable...

But Honghong, who was supposed to cooperate with her in the performance, quickly begged for mercy: "Sorry, I won't do it again next time."

"Will there be a next time?" Ye Qingwan pointed at him.

Hong Hong quickly changed her words: "There won't be a next time, absolutely not a next time. From now on, if anyone dares to get close to you, I will kill him."

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Sheng brought some food and sat next to Ye Qingwan.

Honghong: ...

Ye Qingwan: ...

Old Master, you must have been a member of a demolition team in your previous life. How could you be so good at destroying things?

Liu Sheng found that both of them were staring at him intently, and asked in confusion: "What's wrong? Did I disturb you?"

Ye Qingwan and Honghong looked at each other and winked at him. What are you standing there for? Go get him. Didn’t you say that you would kill anyone who dared to get close to me?

Kill it!

Hong Hong quickly shook her head, turned her head to the side, and mouthed: "I can't beat you."

Wow, you little loser, I admit that you can't beat Xingmu. After all, he is your deputy leader, but now you can't even beat a civil servant?

Did you rely on being cute to defeat your opponents in the past?

Honghong, you are wronged. You have never seen this civil servant. He is very powerful. If we fight from a distance, even our deputy leader may not be able to defeat him.

Fortunately, the flowers I picked were not picked at his house before, otherwise he would have lost his reputation as the most famous person in the Central Plains.

At this time, the Ninth Prince was sitting on the other side, silently angry. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. I was clearly going to deal with Xia Xuejian, so why did they think I was having a tryst with her?

Why?

Are they blind? Or is the plot really so powerful that it can confuse right and wrong?

No, I have to seek justice.

The Ninth Prince walked over, pointed at where Liu Sheng was sitting, and said unceremoniously, "I want to sit here."

Liu Sheng looked up at him, smiled and stood up to make room for him. But as soon as the Ninth Prince sat down, Ye Qingwan stood up and sat next to Liu Sheng, far away from the Ninth Prince.

The Ninth Prince became even angrier: "What are you doing? Do you dislike me?"

"Now that Your Majesty has your sister Xuejian, why would he still rely on an exile like me?"

You're being sarcastic again!

The Ninth Prince was so angry that he gnashed his teeth. If he had known earlier, he would have killed Xia Xuejian with a single blow in the dilapidated temple. He had to come up with this kind of flowery conspiracy, and ended up getting himself involved.

Years of innocence are destroyed in an instant. It’s too late to regret. It’s too late to regret!

"I was just about to kill her. If you don't believe me, ask Zhongyuan Yidianhong." The Ninth Prince pointed at Honghong and asked him to testify.

Everyone's eyes were all on Hong Hong, and she quickly shook her head: "No, I didn't, I don't know."

Denying three times in a row, the arrangement was clear.

Ye Qingwan stared at the Ninth Prince, the corners of her mouth twitching. As expected, men's words are lies. Even at this point, he still refuses to admit it. Now he is just going to refuse to admit it even if he puts on his pants?

What a poor heroine, meeting such a scumbag.

"Alas." Ye Qingwan suddenly sighed, leaving everyone confused: "Ninth Prince, I'm already an exile, I can't help you, so you don't have to put on an act for me."

"Right, Honghong?"

Honghong was called again and silently lowered her head and took a sip of tea.

I don't know if it was an act, but the Ninth Prince really wanted to kill Xia Xuejian. He saw it and acted cleanly and efficiently, even more ruthless than me.

Wow, these men are so cruel, each one is more cruel than the other. The world outside is too dangerous. I'd better go home.

After eating and drinking, the group prepared to rest. Liu Sheng had people set up a tent on the spot. Finally, they didn't have to sleep in the carriage tonight. Ye Qingwan lay in the tent and for the first time felt that the old tutor was really thoughtful.

Just as she was about to go to sleep, a dark figure sat down at the door of her tent.

Ye Qingwan opened the tent and poked his head out. He found it was Honghong and couldn't help poking his back with his finger: "Honghong, why are you sitting at the door of my tent in the middle of the night?"

"To protect you."

Ye Qingwan: ...

Should I believe you, or should I trust you?

Could it be that Honghong has gradually entered into his role as a bootlicker and started to like me?

That’s right, the plot has come to this point. If he still doesn’t like me, the rest of the plot can’t be performed.

But why did I suddenly feel that Honghong was a little pitiful?

Falling in love with someone who doesn't come home, waiting for a door that doesn't open...

At this moment, Honghong was concentrating on observing the slightest movement around her and did not notice at all that in Ye Qingwan's eyes, he had become her exclusive bootlicker.

Xia Xuejian did not follow everyone else to leave the ruined temple. She hired someone to kidnap the Ninth Prince (of course, she originally wanted to kidnap Ye Qingwan, but she kidnapped the wrong person). It was already very good that Liu Sheng did not take her back to the Ministry of Justice and lock her up. How dare she follow him?

Of course, Liu Sheng didn't arrest her not out of kindness, but because he didn't want to make things worse.

First of all, kidnapping the Ninth Prince is a serious crime, and if it is investigated, it will involve many people.

Section 71

Secondly, the Ninth Prince was kidnapped in the wilderness, and he was far away in the capital, but he discovered it in time. What does this mean? It means that he was always paying attention to the movements of the Ninth Prince.

If the emperor knew about this, given his suspicious character, even if he didn't punish him, he would still have a crisis of trust in him.

Especially since this matter involves Ye Qingwan, there is no guarantee that the emperor will not think that the relationship between him and the prime minister is incompatible.

So it’s better to have less trouble than more.

Xia Xuejian left the ruined temple alone and was soon sent back to the capital by the men in black.

She asked the maid to pass a message to He Yu, saying that her hand had been aching since she came back from the ruined temple. And the pain seemed to be moving upwards, making her feel very uneasy.

Could it be that the Ninth Prince poisoned her?

But she had used the Hua Jiu needle on herself, but it had no effect. In fact, because she used too much force, the pain spread faster.

He Yu quickly came in from the back door, took her pulse, and checked her wounds. His face looked very bad.

"What is it? A chronic poison?" Xia Xuejian knew something was wrong when she saw his expression.

But He Yu shook his head, his face livid, and hesitated whether to tell her.
