Ling Heng seemed to have noticed someone at the counter by accident. He paused and his eyes slowly fixed on Li Shuangwan's slender figure.

Take a breath.

Two breaths.

Three breaths.

Oh, she didn't even turn around to look at him.

He couldn't believe she didn't recognize his voice.

If a box of gold, silver and jewelry is sent to her, she will have to take it out and look at it every day, wondering every day why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince gave her this box of things, and whether he likes her.

Naturally, I would always recall every word he said at the banquet in the palace that day.

How could I not recognize his voice?

Thinking of this, Ling Heng looked above her head.

There was only a simple red gold hollow hairpin inserted in Li Shuangyan's bun. The hairpin seemed familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen it.

Apart from this, there are no other jingling ornaments.

Although this gold hairpin was exquisitely crafted, it was not any of the jewelry in the box of jewelry he gave her.

She didn't even wear the thing he gave her.

Then how could he destroy her martial arts!

The corners of Ling Heng's mouth curled up slightly. As expected, Li Shuangyan was reluctant to wear the thing he gave her so casually.

Treasure them all like treasures.

"Isn't this Princess Ning'an? What a coincidence. I didn't expect such a classy shop to be owned by the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion."

Ling Heng walked up to Li Shuangyan with a decent smile on his face, looking at the woman who was flipping through the account book page by page as if bored.

"Who did you come from, you scoundrel? Back off!" Hong Shuang stepped up to Li Shuangwan and held her firmly behind her.

Li Shuangwan raised his head and looked at Ling Heng. He was obviously stunned for a moment, as if he was recalling something.

"How dare you be so rude to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Ling Heng raised his hand to stop him: "Don't be rude to Princess Ning'an."

Li Shuangwan seemed to suddenly realize something, as if she had just remembered something, and hurriedly bowed to him and said, "It turns out to be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Your servant greets His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Hongshuang, this is the Crown Prince of Northern Jin, you must not be rude."

Hongshuang was also stunned, and quickly stepped aside to bow and apologize.

Ling Heng looked down upon Hong Shuang.

But the smile on his face froze at that moment and then disappeared completely.

She actually forgot herself and she actually forgot him.

How can it be!

How could she forget him!

He is the crown prince of Northern Jin, and he gave her such a box of valuable things. Any woman would be attracted by it when she saw it.

No, no, absolutely not.

Yes, Li Shuangyan must have done this on purpose. It was just some unpresentable tricks that I used to attract the attention of men like them.

Vulgar and ridiculous.

It seems that Li Shuangyan is much dumber than her sister Li Shuangwan, and easier to deceive.

Ling Heng put on a gentle smile on his face again, and raised his hand slightly: "Princess, there is no need to be polite. I am not wearing the crown prince's robes today. I just came out for a casual walk. I never thought I would meet you. It's really a coincidence."

"My princess, this is your first time in Shengjing City. Are you used to the food and accommodation?"

Li Shuangwan nodded: "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I am doing well, and my parents are also very good to me."

Look, just two sentences and she felt that I cared about her.

Li Shuangyan, Li Shuangyan, you are too self-righteous. I am the crown prince now, and I have seen all the beauties in the world. Who do you think you are?

"I heard that the old lady is ill?"

"Yes, an old illness has come back."

"Alas, I heard early this morning that since the old general sacrificed his life for the country, Shengjing City has become the old lady's sad place. She can't stay here for long, otherwise she will have a splitting headache after a long time. The old general and the old lady have a deep love for each other, which is really enviable."

Li Shuangwan showed a sad look on her face. "Yes, I heard from my parents that my grandmother and grandfather had always had a very good relationship. After my grandfather passed away, my grandmother almost cried her eyes out. It was only after she returned to her mother's home in Xixiang City that she felt better."

"Have you seen a doctor? What did the doctor say?"

Li Shuangwan just felt annoyed. Are you asking too many questions about other people's private affairs?

"Yes, I have. The doctor said it was a recurrence of an old illness. It was very serious at one point, but fortunately it has improved in the past two days and should be fully recovered soon."

"That's good. If you need anything, just let the Duke and me know, and we can take all the herbs from the Imperial Hospital. Oh, and you can also use the doctors in the Imperial Hospital, and just say it was me who asked."

Li Shuangwan bowed: "Yes, thank you, Your Highness."

She glanced at the door and saw only one East Palace guard following her, but no others.

I think the secret guards should all be hiding in the dark.

This person has done so many evil things that he always brings secret guards with him when he goes out. Isn't that because he is guilty?

"When His Royal Highness the Crown Prince goes out, won't he bring a few more guards with him?"

Ling Heng smiled faintly on his face but sneered in his heart.

Look, isn't this just caring about his safety? He just said a few words, but she actually took it seriously.

It seems that it will take much longer to get Li Shuangyan than Li Shuangwan.

"I just came out for a walk. The world is peaceful now, and Shengjing City is under the emperor's feet. It is very safe. Princess, don't worry about my safety."

Li Shuangwan rolled his eyes in his heart and thought, not only are you overthinking it, I actually hope an assassin comes and stabs you.

"I heard that Lord Sipo, a capable subordinate of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, was killed by an assassin. Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, please accept my condolences."

Speaking of Sipo, Ling Heng felt as if Li Shuangyan had taken a knife to his heart and twisted it hard several times.

"I will find the murderer and avenge him."

"Then I, your servant, would like to wish His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to achieve his wish as soon as possible and catch the murderer."

I’m afraid you’ll never find it in this lifetime.

As they were talking, several masked men in black suddenly rushed in from the door. They were so fast that even the guards guarding Ling Heng didn't have time to react, and their knives were already stabbing straight at Li Shuangwan.

Ling Heng's face changed drastically, and he shouted, "Princess, be careful, there are assassins!"

The man had already rushed in front of Li Shuangwan, wanting to block the knife for her.

However, Li Shuangwan was faster than Ling Heng. She spun around to avoid the knife that was coming at her, and at the same time, she kicked the man in black who was closest to her away.

On the other side, although Hong Shuang had one hand hanging in front of her chest due to injury, she had already repelled an assassin with one hand and kicked the man over.

Ling Heng also immediately joined the battle, but after just a few moments, he was slashed on the arm by the assassin.

He took a step back in pain, holding his injured arm, blood flowing out from between his fingers.

Li Shuangwan felt that he was in the way, and there was no need to hide his martial arts like this if he wanted to put on a show.

Too hypocritical, too fake.

Annoying.

Li Shuangwan pushed the man away and said, "Your Highness, please don't get in my way here."

Having said that, he took action.

The veins on Ling Heng's forehead were throbbing wildly.

Then he watched helplessly as she cleanly and efficiently knocked down several men in black, who were wailing on the ground in just a few moments.
