"It's just an accident," Fu Xingzhou curled his lips in an understatement, not feeling at all that he had done anything wrong. Just when he was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a half-eaten hare opposite the emperor's grandson.

Was he not the only one here just now?

A hint of danger flashed in Fu Xingzhou's eyes. His intelligence said that the emperor's grandson only brought a dozen guards with him. Who else but himself could be on an equal footing with him...

"Oh? Who was the great grandson of the Emperor eating game with just now? Why didn't you invite me?"

Su Qingcheng and Ye Tantai, standing in the shadows, lowered their heads to avoid Fu Xingzhou's glances one after another.

There was no suspicious person in the crowd, but Fu Xingzhou always felt that there was a maid whose figure seemed familiar to him... Just when he was about to set his sights on Su Qingcheng, the emperor's grandson stood up and blocked the way.

"Prince Duan, I just want to get closer to my guards. It's late at night, you can leave."

"It is said that the emperor's grandson is kind and has a kind heart, but the rules are the rules. Servants cannot eat with the master."

Fu Xingzhou looked like he was going to leave. The emperor's grandson couldn't bear it anymore. The veins on his forehead popped out. He no longer pretended to be polite: "I hope King Duan will leave!"

Seeing this, the guards behind him drew their swords and pointed them at Fu Xingzhou. The latter's smile deepened and said: "Okay, I will leave now. The emperor's grandson can calm down his anger. It is not a good thing for a young man to have such a hot temper." .”

After that, he turned around and left, looking back once after taking three steps, and continued to stare at Su Qingcheng in the darkness without giving up.

After he left, the emperor's grandson ordered someone to rekindle the fire and said angrily: "I don't know what he wants to do here. It's so annoying!"

"He just came here to provoke you," Su Qingcheng sat down, picked up the unfinished hare and continued to eat. She was not as angry as the Emperor Taisun, "Don't fall for his trick."

Ye Tantai tucked the broken hair on both sides of Su Qingcheng's temples behind her ears: "I'm afraid there will be no peace tomorrow."

Seeing that the two of them were so emotionally stable, the emperor's grandson tried to calm down his own mood: "How will he deal with me?"

"Well... let's say I leave you behind early tomorrow morning and arrive in Jingzhou first. Then the magistrates in the state will report to the emperor, saying that you have traveled all the way and indulged in fun. By the time you arrive in Jingzhou, they will have already gone……"

While eating, Su Qingcheng analyzed for him what Fu Xingzhou could do with his methods, while Ye Tantai added on the side: "Maybe Jingzhou has already arranged a killer, and he will say that you were too high-profile and were killed by bandits on the way."

The more the emperor's grandson listened, the more frightened she became. Mainly because the two people in front of her didn't think it was a scary thing at all. One ate with gusto, while the other kept watching her eat.

"Why are you not in a hurry, are you just watching him attack me?"

"There's no point in being anxious," Su Qingcheng took the handkerchief Ye Tantai handed her and wiped her mouth, "The soldiers will stop him, and the water will cover him. Besides, the enemy is in the light and we are in the dark. I won't let him go. "

The emperor's grandson said helplessly: "Okay, you should rest early."

Then he walked towards the makeshift shed.

At this time, only Su Qingcheng and Ye Tantai were left by the fire. Su Qingcheng's expression suddenly became serious: "Even if I follow him, he will definitely take action in Jingzhou."

Su Qingcheng knew that in the previous life, the route from the capital to Qingshui City was already filled with Fu Xingzhou's people, which meant that Mingyue's Jingzhou was full of dangers.

"The county magistrate of Jingzhou is Liu Dezhong, the nephew of the former prime minister Liu Jing. Moreover, Jingzhou is a special county. It has been suffering from droughts continuously since last year, so the court has allocated a lot of money."

Su Qingcheng was unfamiliar with the prime minister. For some reason, the prime minister system was abolished after Emperor Nanye came to power, and he made all decisions alone.

What puzzled her even more was the drought in Jingzhou: "There's something wrong. Jingzhou is located below the capital, so the weather should be smooth."

"Yes, my men have gone to Jingzhou to investigate several times, but nothing has been found." Ye Tantai frowned slightly. The issue of Jingzhou was indeed something that had been on the Shadow Guard's books for a long time.

Su Qingcheng looked at the sky and said, "We'll find out when we go tomorrow. Your Majesty, please rest early."

She and Wu Ya returned to the maids' shed. There were only two of them under this shed, and a simple wooden bed was built for Su Qingcheng.

After a day's journey, Wu Ya quickly fell asleep leaning against the wooden board. Su Qingcheng lay on the bed, not daring to turn over for fear of waking Wu Ya.

She didn't know what she was thinking. Maybe she was worried about Fu Xingzhou's methods tomorrow, or maybe she was thinking about the drought in Jingzhou. Everything made her feel messed up.

At night, the side effects of the acacia poison became more and more obvious to her. Su Qingcheng's mood plummeted, and she was so anxious that she couldn't sleep.

She forced herself to close her eyes, otherwise she would not be in good spirits tomorrow, but the more she did this, the more she couldn't sleep, and the more she couldn't sleep, the more irritable she felt...

"Alas, it seems that we can only go to Ye Tantai."

In the end, she had no choice but to walk out of He Wuya's shed. She glanced hesitantly at Ye Tantai's shed opposite and walked slowly over.

When she stood at his curtain door, she hesitated a little and said softly: "My lord...are you asleep?"

There was a turning voice from inside: "No, come in."

After a light was lit inside, Su Qingcheng pushed open the curtain.

Ye Tantai was sitting on the bed, apparently just standing up from the bed. She felt a little guilty inside. Did she disturb his sleep?

She cleared her throat awkwardly and looked around. Because it was a temporary station, it was relatively simple. There was not even a chair in the shed, so she could only sit on his bed.

But what made Su Qingcheng happy was that from the moment she stepped into this shed, it was filled with the smell of Ye Tantai, and her heart became much calmer.

"What's wrong, princess?"

"Oh, let me see how the prince's wound is healing."

Ye Tantai was sleepy, with a sense of laziness in his whole body: "You are just worried about my wound, are you already so worried that you can't sleep?"

Su Qingcheng didn't speak. She didn't want the people in front of her to know her purpose. She needed to be with Ye Tantai to have a good sleep.

She started to take off the bandage on Ye Tantai's left shoulder, minding her own business. She saw that his wound had begun to grow new flesh.

Su Qingcheng said sternly without changing her expression: "The recovery is good. But I'm afraid there is still a risk of deterioration. For the safety of the prince, I basically stay here and watch over the prince."

Ye Tantai snickered inwardly, she could even come up with such a lame excuse...
