Xuanyuan Qi said with a smile: "You came to the Qin Palace by yourself, and you didn't even know it? You can't be sleepwalking here, right?"
Xiaoyu scratched her head and murmured softly: "I clearly remember that I was at home..."
"Your Highness, should we send them back or detain them for interrogation?" Chen Long asked via voice transmission.
Nangong Yu glanced at Xuanyuan Qi who was watching the show. With this guy around, if he really arrested someone, unless he arrested Xuanyuan Qi as well, otherwise, Xuanyuan Qi's unreliable mouth would definitely leak the news.
If the news leaked out, it would not benefit him at all. With Ling Xiang's unwillingness to suffer any loss, it would be a troublesome matter.
"Chen Long, send him back personally." Nangong Yu ordered, and then sent a voice message: "No need to explain anything."
Chen Long took the order and took Xiaoyu and others away.
Xiaoyu and the others had left, but Xuanyuan Qi was still standing there. Nangong Yu said unhappily, "Are you still not leaving?"
Xuanyuan Qi spat out the grass in his mouth: "Why, are you afraid that I will eat your family into poverty? Is there anyone who treats his cousin like you?"
"Take Prince Huai down for dinner." Nangong Yu said this and ignored Xuanyuan Qi.
Xuanyuan Qi seemed to be in a good mood. After feasting at the Prince of Qin's Mansion, he rode in a flashy carriage and swaggered back to the Prince of Huai's Mansion.
"Xiao Ming, well done." Xuanyuan Qi gave a thumbs up to the air.
There was a spatial fluctuation, and a man in black appeared out of thin air: "Your Highness is wise and has taken precautions long ago."
This person is Xuanyuan Qiyingwei, Wei Ming.
Xuanyuan Qi raised his eyebrows: "When did you learn to flatter?"
Wei Ming said seriously, "I am telling the truth. Yesterday, His Highness sent me to the Zhenguo Marquis Mansion and told me to act according to circumstances. That night, I encountered the Qin Wang Mansion secretly kidnapping people. I was able to follow them quietly and rescue the people without any effort. This is enough to prove His Highness's foresight.
"Furthermore, His Highness asked me to release Xiaoyu and the others by the lotus pond, but you followed the King of Qin there, forcing him to release them. You even exposed the King of Qin's abduction, leaving him with nothing to lose. You're truly brilliant!"
Xuanyuan Qi's eyelids twitched. "Alright, stop imitating Yuan Yang's tricks. I can't stand having two sycophants around. By the way, how many spirit stones or silver do you have? Give them all to me and I'll buy you some extra rewards."
Wei Ming: Buy a reward? Did he hear correctly? His Highness wants to give him a reward, but he actually wants him to buy it with his own spirit stones?
Ah, this...
Although he didn't understand, Wei Ming still took out the storage bag without complaint and said with a pained expression, "Your Highness, this is all my belongings..."
"Don't worry, I won't let you suffer any loss." Xuanyuan Qi had no sense of exploiting his subordinates: "You continue to protect Miss Ling. Remember, only protect, not monitor. As long as her life is not in danger, you don't need to show up."
"Yes, sir." Wei Ming disappeared out of thin air, just as he appeared out of thin air, coming and going without a trace.
Immediately afterwards, Xuanyuan Qi also disappeared from the spot.
Ling Xiang returned to the Marquis of Zhenguo Mansion and asked Mu Heng, "What did you do when you went out alone at noon today?"
Mu Heng confessed, "Miss, I was worried that you would suffer in the Qin Palace, so I went to look for His Royal Highness the Huai Prince. But, I couldn't find him..."
Ling Xiang: "Doesn't he have a special courtyard in the Prince of Qin's Mansion?"
Mu Heng shrugged: "I just went to his yard, and there was indeed no one there."
When Mu Heng went to find Xuanyuan Qi, Xuanyuan Qi was explaining something to Wei Ming, so he ran away empty-handed.
"Mu Heng, Prince Huai is not someone you can easily mess with. We should try to stay away from him in the future." Ling Xiang said earnestly.
Mu Heng didn't understand: "But His Royal Highness Prince Huai is a very good person. I can see that he treats the young lady very well!"
"Don't judge things by appearances..." Seeing Mu Heng's disapproving look, Ling Xiang frowned: "How long have you been following me, and you've already learned to act on your own and disobey me?"
"No! Absolutely not!" Mu Heng immediately expressed his loyalty: "I will resolutely obey the orders of the young lady and will never act on my own again!"
"Miss! Xiaoyu and the others are back!" Min Yangze ran over quickly to report the good news.
Ling Xiang went to the door and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Xiaoyu and the others had returned safely.
"Miss!" Xiaoyu rushed over and hugged Ling Xiang, "Wow, I woke up and I wasn't in my room anymore. I was so scared..."
"It's okay." Ling Xiang felt really distressed.
Xiaoyu is really unlucky. When she was with the original owner, she was bullied every day. Now she is with her and still suffers from time to time...
Chen Long completed the task and said, "Miss Ling, I have completed my task. Farewell."
Ling Xiang frowned, and after bringing everyone back, he asked, "Why did someone from the Prince Qin's Mansion send you back?"
Xiaoyu: "We woke up in the Prince of Qin's mansion, so the Prince of Qin sent someone to take us back."
Ling Xiang didn't understand.
Logically speaking, even if Nangong Yu didn't care about his reputation, he wouldn't tell everyone so openly that he was the one who kidnapped the person.
Even if he wanted to send the person back, he should have done it quietly.
When something is abnormal, there must be something wrong!
"Did anything else happen today? Tell me everything."
"Oh, by the way, His Royal Highness Prince Huai was here just now..." Xiaoyu and others told Ling Xiang everything they knew.
King Huai?
Ling Xiang was full of doubts, so he comforted everyone and gave them a few days off.
Ling Xiang returned to the room and suspected that Xuanyuan Qi was involved in today's events. Just as she was considering whether to find time to test Xuanyuan Qi, the window was pushed open.
However, she had locked the window in advance, so the person who came in failed.
Ling Xiang's mouth twitched, and when she opened the door, she saw Xuanyuan Qi, who liked to jump out of the window:
"Climbing through windows is not what a gentleman does."
"So you locked the window on purpose?" Xuanyuan Qi raised his eyebrows, looking quite unhappy.
Ling Xiang walked into the house and poured two cups of tea: "If you want to come next time, you can just knock on the door."
Xuanyuan Qi sat down opposite Ling Xiang and said disapprovingly: "You locked the windows. What will you do when you want to ventilate?"
Ling Xiang handed the teacup to Xuanyuan Qi with both hands: "Safety first."
Xuanyuan Qi picked up the tea and drank it all in one gulp: "If this Zhenguohou Mansion was safe, Xiaoyu and the others would not have appeared in the Qin Palace."
Ling Xiang had to admit that their Zhenguohou Mansion lacked experts. In the face of a true expert, the mansion's defenses were indeed useless. "You're right."
"Why don't you consider equipping each guard with the bow and arrow you used today?" Xuanyuan Qi reminded.
Ling Xiang nodded: "It's already being built."
The crossbow she used was made by Jin Bowen, an old member of the Ling family army who was good at making weapons. However, Jin Bowen only had two hands, and the crossbow was complicated, so he only made one in all these days.
Xuanyuan Qi seemed to see through Ling Xiang's predicament: "If you trust me, you can give me the blueprints. I will find someone to build it for you. Each person will only be responsible for building a small part, and I guarantee that your blueprints will not be leaked."
