Raiders of His Royal Highness

After a while, the secret guard sent by Emperor Jingming to investigate came back to report.

With a sullen face, Emperor Jing Ming asked the hidden guard: "Where is the princess now? Who spread the rumors?"

"My Majesty, my subordinates are incompetent and have not been able to find out the whereabouts of the princess."

"As for the rumors, they came from Xue Zhenxue's servants."

Xue Zhen?This is Yifei's cousin...

"You mean, this matter has something to do with Concubine Yi's lineage?" Emperor Jing Ming thought about it.

Shuyang is the son of Concubine Xian, she is a compatriot with the second prince and one mother.

Emperor Jingming supported himself on the dragon chair with all his strength, and smiled back in anger.

After hearing this, the hidden guard didn't dare to say more, so he had to bury his head even lower.

Emperor Jing Ming closed his smile, glanced at the hidden guard, and ordered in a cold voice: "Go and check the third prince's recent movements."

Annoyedly looking at the unfinished memorial, Emperor Jingming sat on the dragon chair, wondering if he was getting old, and the restless thoughts of the second and third children became more and more uncontrollable.

……

The sky is clear and blue, and the clouds are not stained.

In the small courtyard, the plum branches are dry and the leaves are falling.

There is a small square table under the tree with some snacks and two cups of tea.

Qin Zhirong sat on the side, looked at the second younger sister who was still wearing a veil, and asked softly, "What's the matter with my younger sister?"

"Sorry." Qin Yufei bit her lower lip and finally said it.

Qin Zhirong, who was holding a teacup, smiled when he heard the words, and asked again: "Why did my sister apologize to me?"

Because if she was the one who went to the banquet that day, then the elder sister who has never wanted to be involved with the royal family would not be selected as the crown princess, and she would lose her right to yearn for freedom.

But these words came to Qin Yufei's lips, and she couldn't say anything.Looking at her sister who smiled gently, she felt even more guilty.

"If...if it wasn't you that day..." She spoke after deliberation.

Following Qin Yufei's words, the surroundings became quiet.

A withered yellow leaf swirled and landed on Qin Yufei's shoulder. Qin Zhirong looked at it for a while, then raised his hand to brush it away for her.With a sneering smile, he said, "Sister also knows, it's either you or me. By the way, our grandfather is a scholar of Qin University."

"I'm sorry..." Qin Yufei said again in a low voice.

"Since my sister also understands this truth, when you get rashes all over your face, you should be aware of the result."

"Then why bother apologizing?"

Qin Yufei suddenly raised her head to look at her sister opposite, and asked uncertainly, "You...know?" It turned out that my sister had always known these small thoughts of her own.Then why are you still willing to...

"In these years, you have been following your grandfather's teachings with all your heart, and you have never disobeyed. I thought you were willing to join the royal family." Qin Zhirong laughed softly, and said, "Who knows, so you are also like me." So-so. That being the case, was being obedient and obedient before an act of hypocrisy?"

"It's not like this! Sister, you believe me! Before this, I have always understood my responsibility, and I also know that my sister yearns for freedom. So I didn't have the slightest idea of ​​complaining about my sister, and I never had a design for my sister. thoughts!"

Qin Yufei knew that her sister had misunderstood her, and she didn't know how to explain it so that her sister could forgive her.

Seeing that Qin Yufei's exposed eyes were red and watery, Qin Zhirong looked away at the clear sky.

"Does my sister not believe me?"

"Then, why? Why did you deliberately put these things on your face?" Qin Zhirong was puzzled.

"If I knew from the beginning that you and I have the same thoughts, as the elder sister, even if I don't want to, I will accept grandfather's arrangement."

At this point, Qin Yufei hesitated for a while, bit her lower lip lightly, and said in a low voice, "I really didn't have any other thoughts before. But... but three months ago, I... I met Wu Lang..."

"I cherish him heart-to-heart, and we have promised each other for life...so I can't...can't be chosen as the prince and concubine..."

Qin Zhirong looked at Qin Yufei, who was already sobbing, in shock, and asked in disbelief, "What did you say?!"

"...Can my sister keep this secret for me?" Qin Yufei begged.

"Do you know what you're talking about?" Qin Zhirong stroked his forehead. The younger sister is a noble daughter carefully cultivated by the family. She knows etiquette, righteousness, integrity and shame by heart, and she would do such a reckless thing!
