Chapter 517
King Jing had never encountered such setbacks with a woman in his life. He had never looked at any woman more, and any woman would be proud of it and show it off everywhere. On the contrary, Lu Yunqian, he had never treated other women like He was equally patient with her, but this woman not only didn't appreciate it, but also always felt that the contact between them was shameful.
This feeling made Prince Jing very unhappy. He thought that he was just not used to it, but when he said the half-joking and half-serious words just now, a trace of yearning from the bottom of his heart arose in his mind, which made him Realizing that his unhappiness didn't seem to only come from the discomfort of not being wooed by Lu Yunqian, he seemed to have some different thoughts about Lu Yunqian.
"Your Highness, don't make fun of me." Although Lu Yunqian could hear the obvious joke in King Jing's words, she also knew that joking can sometimes be a way to test the other party, especially when it comes to marriage. It shouldn't be used as a joke, so her mind was in a mess, and she didn't know what Prince Jing meant.
Both of them fell silent because of the joke, and the horse continued to move forward slowly. Seeing that the prime minister's mansion was only a hundred steps away, and there seemed to be two figures in front of the prime minister's mansion, Lu Yunqian was extremely anxious Said: "Your Highness, there are two people at the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion. If an outsider bumps into them, my reputation will really be ruined!"
At this moment, Prince Jing had regained his senses. He could hear Lu Yunqian's crying, and he couldn't help feeling a little annoyed. He shouldn't have used such a big matter to embarrass her, especially since she took such a big risk to help him solve the case tonight. Under the premise.
So King Jing reined in the reins, and the horse stopped. He turned over and got off the horse first, and then opened his arms, motioning for Lu Yunqian to support him to get off the horse.
Lu Yunqian looked at Prince Jing with a troubled expression. After hesitating for a moment, he grabbed his shoulders and let him carry her off the horse.
"Thank you, Your Highness." After Lu Yunqian stood firm, she backed away from Prince Jing, and then bowed her head to say goodbye to him.
"I should be the one thanking you. Don't worry, my king promises a thousand gold!" Jing Wang thought about Lu Yunqian's ups and downs tonight, and wanted to say a thousand words in his heart, but now is not the time.
Lu Yunqian blessed Fushen and saluted slightly, then ran towards the Prime Minister's Mansion, even forgetting to take off Prince Jing's cloak and return it to him.
Prince Jing silently watched Lu Yunqian's petite and exquisite figure drift away, feeling extremely melancholy in his heart. He didn't know whether he should be happy that he finally met a woman he was attracted to, or feel sad because this woman shunned him so much.
When Lu Yunqian quickly walked to the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, she realized that the two figures she had just seen from a distance were Xiaozhu and her father. Seeing that Mrs. Yang was not at the door, Lu Yunqian couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. She is not in good health, if she waits for her, maybe her condition will relapse, it will be terrible.
"Xiaozhu, I'm back!" Seeing that Xiaozhu and her father seemed to be arguing, Lu Yunqian didn't notice her at all, so she called Xiaozhu loudly.
Xiaozhu and her father turned their heads when they heard the sound, and saw Lu Yunqian trotting towards them, so they also ran towards Lu Yunqian in great surprise.
"Second Miss, you are back, you are really anxious to death!" Xiao Zhu cheered, while looking up and down Lu Yunqian, to make sure she was fine, and then he was relieved.
"Second Miss, where have you been? Why is it so late?" Xiaozhu's father couldn't help but ask with concern when he saw Lu Yunqian came back safely.
Of course, Lu Yunqian couldn't answer this question. She changed the subject forcefully and asked, "Is mother asleep? She didn't realize I wasn't here, did she?"
The expressions of Xiaozhu and her father changed from surprise to solemn in an instant. After they looked at each other, they fell silent in embarrassment.
Lu Yunqian suddenly had an ominous premonition, and she asked nervously: "Mother knows? She... Did something happen to her?"
Pursing his lips, Xiaozhu replied truthfully: "Second miss, not only did the madam know, but she was so angry that she fainted. My mother was guarding the madam, and just now my father was clamoring for me to take him to find you, but I Where can I find it..."
Lu Yunqian couldn't hear what Xiaozhu said behind her. All she knew was that Mrs. Yang had passed out. conspicuous up.
"Eh, Miss Er didn't wear a cloak when she went out just now." Xiaozhu was only immersed in the joy of Lu Yunqian's return at last, and didn't notice that she was wearing a cloak at all. Now she saw her running back. Noticing, but as clever as Xiaozhu, he guessed at a glance that the cloak should belong to His Highness Prince Jing.
Xiaozhu's father is not stupid either, knowing what it means for a woman who has not left the court to come back so late and is still wearing a man's cloak, he grabbed Xiaozhu's shoulders, looked into her eyes and said, "Good girl, today You can't tell anyone about this, you have to remember that Miss Er didn't go out tonight, you know?"
"Father, I understand." Xiao Zhu nodded sharply, thinking in his heart, is there really something for Lu Yunqian to marry Prince Jing?That would be great.
……
After Yang woke up, she saw Xiaozhu's mother standing by her side, so she knew that Lu Yunqian hadn't come home yet, so she struggled to get up and insisted on going out to look for Lu Yunqian, but Xiaozhu's mother dragged him desperately. Stopped her and persuaded: "Madam, don't be like this. If you make such a fuss, it will only let more people know that Second Miss will not come home tonight, and it will even hurt her."
After hearing this, Yang became quiet. Indeed, the more people know about this matter, the worse it will be.
"Xin'er really doesn't know what's going on, she never did these things that worry me before." Yang complained incomprehensibly while weeping.
Xiao Zhu's mother smiled and comforted, "So Madam should trust Second Young Miss and believe that there must be a reason why she didn't come home tonight."
Mrs. Yang lowered her head, unable to answer Xiaozhu's mother's words. If Xiaozhu hadn't told her that Lu Yunqian had gone out with Prince Jing, she would of course believe Lu Yunqian. I believe she must have encountered some trouble, but Now the facts are obvious, even if Lu Yunqian went out to meet Prince Jing privately at night, he still didn't return home at night.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Yang can't help but feel very depressed. Although Lu Yunqian has lived like a maid these years, she has never slackened in her education of Lu Yunqian because of this. She hopes that her daughter can grow into a great lady In the future, find a good man to be your main wife, and don't live in misery like her.
But now Lu Yunqian has forgotten everything she taught, and the man who meets privately does not return at night, and that man happens to be Prince Jing—a man who Lu Yunqian promised not to marry!
