Return of the Princess: The Rebirth of Lafayette

Xiao Jian looked at her deeply, tried hard to suppress the complex emotions surging in his heart, turned around and left the room.

After waiting for him to leave for a long time, Qing'er broke into a cold sweat. Fortunately, the location she told him was wrong. Changchun Palace was close to Leng Palace and far away from Kunning Palace. How could Xiao Yanzi get into trouble with such a person? I hurriedly got dressed and got out of bed to see how Xi'er was doing.

"Xi'er, Xi'er, are you okay?" Qing'er helped her up, with a cry in her voice.

"Someone is coming, someone is coming."

All the lights in Cining Palace were suddenly illuminated, and the Queen Mother and Aunt Gui rushed over after hearing the news.

"Qing'er, Qing'er, are you okay?"

"Lafayette, please check how Xi'er is doing. She suddenly fainted outside. I heard the noise and didn't dare to go out. I only heard the movement of figures."

Qing'er naturally wouldn't say that Xiao Jian came into her room in front of everyone.

"What? Eunuch Gao asked the Ai family to thoroughly investigate the servants of Cining Palace to find out who was cheating on them and pretending to be a ghost in the middle of the night to scare the Ai family's Qing'er."

The Queen Mother was furious and directly ordered Eunuch Gao to check the person. She had no idea that someone would dare to break into the palace at night.

"Come on, old Buddha, calm down. I'll go right away." Eunuch Gao also knew that the situation was urgent.

"You guys help this girl Xi'er down."

The Queen Mother had lived with Qing'er for more than ten years, how could she not know that she was hiding something from her, so she immediately retreated from everyone, leaving only Nanny Gui.

"Lafayette, Qing'er is so scared." Qing'er snuggled into Lafayette's arms, her voice extremely aggrieved.

"Don't be afraid, Qing'er. With the Aijia here, no one will dare to bully you." The Queen Mother gently patted her back to comfort her.

Aunt Gui helped Qing'er get into bed. Qing'er's hesitant look made Lafayette even more confused.

"Qing'er, are you hiding something from me?"

Listening to the Queen Mother's loving and close voice, Qing'er relaxed and told Lafayette what had just happened.

"Lafayette, Qing'er just lied to you. In fact, a strange man broke into my house. He asked me where Little Yanzi lived. I was afraid that he would hurt Little Yanzi, so I deliberately told him the wrong address, but he asked He left immediately without harming Qing'er."

When the Queen Mother heard that Qing'er was almost hurt under her nose, and if someone found out, Qing'er's reputation would be ruined, and she would not be able to get married in the future.

"It's unreasonable. How can a young thief be so bold? Qing'er, the Ai family will send more people to your side tomorrow. This kind of thing will never happen again."

"By the way, Lafayette, he said his name is Xiao Jian."

Qing'er's words made Lafayette and Aunt Gui tremble. They looked at each other and saw the horror in each other's eyes.

"Xiao Jian!" The Queen Mother's voice suddenly rose, but she couldn't figure out what was going on. Logically speaking, the two of them were still a year away from meeting, so how could it be so far in advance.

"Lafayette, do you know Xiao Jian?" Qing'er noticed that Lafayette's mood fluctuated greatly when Xiao Jian was mentioned.

"I don't know him." The Queen Mother objected flatly. She was afraid that she would see any clues, so she quickly explained.

"The Ai family is just worried about Qing'er's safety and is a little emotional."

Qing'er didn't think much about it. After all, she had been accompanying Lafayette all the time. If she knew Xiao Jian, she would definitely know him too.

"Qinggege, Lafayette is feeling tired. I will accompany her back first. You should rest as soon as possible."

Aunt Gui tucked Qing'er into bed and told her to rest early.

After Lafayette and Aunt Gui returned, their expressions were solemn. Aunt Gui started to speculate on conspiracy and told the Queen Mother her analysis.

"Lafayette, I think the people we sent out were probably discovered by Xiao Jian, and they are here to take revenge on our Qing Gege."

The Queen Mother did not speak, but her face became increasingly ugly, and she was panicking and thinking in her heart.

Unexpectedly, after the rebirth of the Ai family, everyone has changed. Qing'er and Xiao Jian also met early. Does that mean that Qing'er will leave her early? No, the Ai family will never allow it.

"Mother Gui, did you find anything there?"

"Back to Lafayette, the people we sent out sent back the news that Xiao Jian is still in Yunnan. Who would have thought that he would use the golden cicada to escape."

Aunt Gui is also very helpless. This kind of person in the world has the most eccentric personality. She is afraid that she will be discovered at the beginning.

"Stop the investigation and call back the people who were sent out." The Queen Mother knew that her people were no match for Xiao Jian, but instead he was fooled around by him.

But there is one thing that I am quite satisfied with. Qing'er's impression of Xiao Jian is no longer as good as it was in her previous life. In her previous life, the right time, right place and right people made the two hearts come together. However, in this life, they met at the wrong time and wrong place. Without Xiao Yanzi and the others to match them up, they probably wouldn't fall in love.

"I will go deliver the message early tomorrow morning." Aunt Gui nodded.

"Mother Gui, do you know the young general in Zhongyi Hou Mansion?"

The Queen Mother thought of Shen Yuqing whom she met in the Imperial Garden today. She was a well-mannered person and understood etiquette. She liked him just by looking at him.

"But that General Shen who just came back from the capital?" Aunt Gui was stunned, and then she quickly went through it in her mind.

"Yes, that's the one." The Queen Mother's eyes lit up, indicating for her to continue.

"Lao Nu has a fellow countryman who is on duty at the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion. The two of us often communicate by letter. She told me that General Shen will not go to the front line this time when he comes back. He seems to be an official in the court, and Mrs. Shen has been making plans recently. I’m here to say goodbye to my son.”

Aunt Gui told the Queen Mother everything she knew. She immediately guessed what the Queen Mother meant and wanted to bring Qing Gege and General Shen together.

"How is General Shen's backyard?" The Queen Mother asked the most critical question.

"It's good, Lafayette. That little general Shen is so clean that he doesn't even have a common girl in the backyard." Aunt Gui said with a smile.

"How old is he this year? There must be some hidden disease in that area."

The Queen Mother did not dare to be careless in this regard. Thinking of the fact that he had never been married in his previous life, she was afraid that there might be some hidden disease. After all, it was related to Qing'er's lifelong happiness.

"This year is just nineteen. As for whether there is any problem, I don't know yet, but I think the one who leads the troops in the war must be very powerful." Aunt Gui squeezed the Queen Mother's shoulders and teased.

The Queen Mother agreed upon hearing this. General Shen looked at him with broad shoulders, narrow waist, and a big nose, and it didn't look like there was anything wrong with him.

Shen Yuqing, Yuqing, what a good name, just to meet my Qinger.

"Isn't there going to be a banquet in the palace for Mingzhu Princess in a few days? Find an opportunity to send an invitation to the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion."

The Queen Mother had an idea in her mind, but now she couldn't allow herself to think about it anymore. Xiao Jian had already met Qing'er, so it would cause complications, so it would be better to settle it as soon as possible.

"Old slave, I know." Aunt Gui also felt that this was a good match. Mrs. Shen and the Queen were still sisters, and Mr. Shen's future was good.

And Xiao Jian finally reached Changchun Palace in the dark, only to find that the place was eerie and scary. Cat-like sounds came from time to time. It was weird and scary, and it didn't look like a place where people lived. He laughed out loud because he was afraid. He was deceived by that girl.
