Chapter 589: Reborn Girl vs. Book-Traveling Girl 10
Zheng Yuejin had no choice but to get on the carriage with the help of Baoqin.
The second prince followed closely beside the carriage.
When approaching the city gate, Zheng Yuejin finally saw the convoy of the Xuanping Marquis Mansion.
Before entering the motorcade, Zheng Yuejin lifted a corner of the carriage curtain and said to the Second Prince in a distant yet polite manner:
"Thank you, Your Highness, the Second Prince, for escorting me all the way. I cannot express my gratitude enough.
Ahead is the carriage of my grandmother and mother. I will be thanking you shortly, Your Highness, and will now take my leave."
The Second Prince raised his eyebrows and jokingly said, "Then I will be waiting for your thank you gift, Miss Zheng. I look forward to meeting you next time."
After saying this, the second prince did not stay any longer. He rode his horse with his guards and rode straight into the city.
Zheng Yuejin's carriage followed behind the Xuanping Marquis Mansion's convoy and entered the city together.
On the shaft of the Marquis's carriage, a person who looked like a maid was keeping an eye on the surroundings.
Seeing Zheng Yuejin's carriage returning with the Second Prince, she hurried to report to the Marquis's wife.
The Marquis's wife had a calm expression and replied lightly, "I know." But she sneered in her heart.
Who said those thugs were trying to warn Zheng Yuejin?
The real killer move is actually the second prince.
Zheng Yuejin must have been on guard against those ruffians, but even if she really did something with them, the Marquis' Mansion would have to do its best to cover it up for the sake of its reputation.
The second prince appears to be elegant and graceful, but who knows that he is a homosexual?
Both Concubine Yang and the Emperor were aware of this matter. Their only requirement for the Second Prince was to marry a proper princess, have a child, and maintain the dignity of the royal family. They no longer asked about anything else.
The choice of the princess was left to the second prince himself.
This matter was extremely secretive, and only a few people knew the inside story. The Marquis's wife happened to be the one who learned the truth by chance.
On the way to Puguang Temple, the Marquis' wife happened to meet someone from the Second Prince's Mansion who was out of the city to deliver something to the Second Prince. From their conversation, she learned that the Second Prince was returning to the city today.
The weather in July was scorching hot, and the journey time from the suburbs back to the city was roughly the same.
Mrs. Hou secretly gave Zheng Yuejin some medicine that could stimulate her stomach and intestines, just to ensure that Zheng Yuejin would not be delayed on the road.
At the same time, those ruffians were secretly led here by the Marquis' wife.
If the second prince could arrive in time, the ruffians would naturally not show up. If the second prince could not arrive in time, the appearance of the ruffians would just be enough to delay Zheng Yuejin.
The Duke and Marquis' Mansion believes that everyone prospers together and suffers together, and this is not empty talk.
As the eldest daughter of the original wife, if Zheng Yuejin marries poorly, it will also affect the other girls in the marquis's mansion in finding husbands.
The Marquis's wife could not openly retaliate against Zheng Yuejin, but it was not difficult for her to secretly match her with the Second Prince and arrange a marriage for her that would appear glorious on the surface but would actually be disastrous.
The second prince, despite having no chance of becoming emperor, was instead deeply favored by the emperor.
If the second prince expressed his feelings to the emperor and wanted to marry Zheng Yuejin, the emperor would most likely agree.
Moreover, the engagement between Zheng Yuejin and the prince was only verbally agreed upon when the empress dowager was still alive, so there was a lot of room for maneuver.
After returning to the Xuanping Marquis Mansion, everyone returned to their own courtyards.
That night, everything was quiet and everyone in the mansion had fallen asleep.
Zheng Yunxi seized the opportunity and quietly came to the lake to practice again.
This time, she did not forget to change into modern antique clothes.
Before this, she found that ancient fabrics could not withstand the rubbing of modern washing machines, but this imitation ancient costume was sturdy and durable, and there was no problem throwing it into the washing machine.
The light is dim at night, and the imitation ancient costumes and real ancient costumes look not much different, so even if you meet someone, you can get away with it.
As soon as he arrived at the lake, Zheng Yunxi jumped into the water and hid under the lotus flowers.
She was afraid of running into someone who came out to plot in the middle of the night again, and then she would have to find a hiding place. This time, hiding in advance would save her trouble.
However, tonight is not destined to be peaceful.
Zheng Yunxi successfully drew Qi into his body the night before going to Puguang Temple, and officially began practicing today.
But not long after he started practicing, he saw two dark shadows flash past in the garden in front.
Looking at the direction, it was heading towards Zheng Yuejin's yard.
Zheng Yunxi hurriedly used his spiritual sense to check. Isn’t this the second prince and his guards?
She began to wonder in her heart, could it be that the spy in this mansion was not the prince's man, but arranged by the second prince?
Or maybe, the spy is indeed the prince's man, and now the second prince has also become interested in the Marquis Xuanping's Mansion and has come here to investigate in person?
On the way back from Puguang Temple during the day, Zheng Yunxi did not pay special attention to Zheng Yuejin who was left behind, so he did not know that Zheng Yuejin had met the second prince during the day.
Just as Zheng Yunxi was lost in thought and using his spiritual sense to follow the Second Prince's figure, a slight sound suddenly came from behind him.
She was in the lake right now, so why was there a sound behind her?
Just as she was using her spiritual sense to investigate, she felt someone stepping on her head. Then, the person who stepped on her uttered a soft "Huh" in a puzzled tone.
Zheng Yunxi thought to herself, Der, you are confused, my head has become your stepping stone this time.
It's pretty cool to be able to walk on water with light Kung Fu. If you have the ability, don't step on my head. You almost broke my neck.
After making a puzzled sound, the man looked back and happened to meet Zheng Yunxi's eyes.
Zheng Yunxi rolled his eyes. It was the middle of the night, and this man was still wearing all white, as if he was afraid that others wouldn't notice him.
He tiptoed onto the shore. The man was not afraid at all. He turned around gracefully and bowed to Zheng Yunxi, who was still in the water. He smiled and said,
"May I ask, are you a fairy from the Dragon Palace or a moonlit ghost? Could you please come ashore and let me see your beauty?"
Zheng Yunxi thought to himself, could this be a flower thief?
"To die under the peony flowers, to be a romantic ghost" sounds free and easy, but now that I look like this, the man on the shore suspects that I am a female ghost. He is so brave that he wants to meet me.
To say that he has no sexual thoughts is to say that he is treating himself like a monkey in a zoo and wants to see it up close.
Zheng Yunxi suddenly had evil thoughts and took out a green fluorescent stick from the space and placed it under his chin.
In an instant, she was enveloped in fluorescent light, and her entire face was illuminated in a pale green color.
Strands of wet hair stuck to her face, and water droplets slid down her cheeks.
In the dim night and the eerie green light, his eyes were empty and lifeless, with a faint light, and his lips were bloodless.
There was an inexplicable sense of eeriness about her, and she looked like a female ghost crawling out of hell.
Zheng Yunxi spoke slowly, his voice carrying a certain ethereal and strange tone.
"Since you wish to see me, I will naturally grant your wish. I wonder if you have come here so late at night, but has anything changed in the world?"
