Chapter 480
The two men left the yard and became extremely nervous.
With Ji Yunqing's identity, she would not feel guilty at all running around outside at night, and she would not be afraid even if she met someone.
But now with Concubine Liu, it's like carrying a time bomb.
The two could only hide secretly.
Until we arrived at a certain place and saw a figure swaying in front of us.
Ji Yunqing wanted to hide reflexively, but Concubine Liu grabbed his hand.
Concubine Liu got in touch with the other person. Ji Yunqing saw that person dressed as a maid and heard the two of them whispering a few words. Then the other person led Concubine Liu away.
Before leaving, Concubine Liu took a last look at Ji Yunqing standing there.
The other party nodded at her.
Soon the two figures disappeared into the darkness.
A not-so-happy male voice came from behind: "The person has already left, why are you still standing there? Are you reluctant to let him go?"
Ji Yunqing looked up and said, "Your Highness, I'm not sad. I just felt that the voice of that maid just now sounded a little familiar." He was quite sarcastic.
Suddenly, an idea flashed in her mind, and she remembered: "Isn't this one of the two maids who said that you have a confidante outside?"
King Zhao narrowed his eyes and said, "I have a confidante?" How come he didn't know that?
Ji Yunqing nodded confidently: "That's right, it sounded so convincing, I believed it all, and I was very sad at that time."
"Are you really sad? Why do I see you holding hands with Concubine Liu, and you look so happy?"
As he spoke, his eyes were fixed on the hands that Ji Yunqing hid in his sleeves.
Didn't we wash our hands when we encountered bugs before? Why don't we wash them now?
Ji Yunqing was speechless. Didn’t she just hold Concubine Liu’s hand? She didn’t sleep with her. Was there any need to be so fussy about it?
It seems that her strategy of getting along with the other party in a friendly manner is correct, and Concubine Liu will make a comeback sooner or later.
Ji Yunqing hinted to him in a gentle voice: "Your Highness, it was an emergency. I was afraid that the two of them would run away, so I had no choice but to do this. Don't be angry."
She didn't mean to take advantage of Concubine Liu.
King Zhao nodded: "I am not angry."
Ji Yunqing felt relieved, knowing that the prince was a very sensible person.
The next second, King Zhao started to act ignorantly again and started to make trouble:
"I just want to know, now that Concubine Liu has left, how can you express your gratitude for Concubine Liu's friendship and reward her for a night?"
Ji Yunqing: "Huh? I was just talking nonsense."
"No, Your Majesty, how did you know? Were you possessed by the maid at that time? Or was that maid you?"
King Zhao: "...I was standing nearby and heard it with my own ears."
"Ah! I'm so sleepy!" Ji Yunqing yawned, "Prince, let's go back and rest."
Seeing her acting so naturally like a spoiled child to him, King Zhao immediately agreed: "Okay"
You should really take a good rest when you are sleepy.
Ji Yunqing was very happy. Fortunately, she was smart, otherwise the prince would have asked so many questions that it would be dawn before he continued asking.
In fact, she really wanted to walk by herself, but the place was unfamiliar, and it was late at night, so it was not easy to find the way back.
She had no choice but to let King Zhao lead the way for her.
Although Ji Yunqing was unable to spend the night with Concubine Liu, she was not idle either. When Prince Zhao arrived at her place, he did not plan to leave.
It doesn’t matter. Ji Yunqing lay down and fell asleep without any hesitation.
King Zhao looked at her for a few seconds, then brought a basin of water and wiped her hands.
As he wiped, Ji Yunqing finally couldn't bear it anymore and handed his other hand to him.
Rub this one too, the other one is almost bald.
While wiping her hands patiently, King Zhao said, "Aren't there a lot of bugs on Concubine Liu's body? Aren't you afraid of bugs?"
Ji Yunqing opened his eyes: "!!"
Concubine Liu usually looks fair and tender, and not scary at all, but she forgot this.
"Your Majesty, please wipe it for me. Fortunately, you remembered it."
Seeing how scared she was, King Zhao chuckled.
next morning
When Ji Yunqing woke up, he heard the latest news from the mansion.
Concubine Liu is missing!
However, this news was like a drop of water entering a pond, without causing any ripples.
The most important thing is that today is the day to go back home.
Ruirui leaned against the car window, looking at the scene outside with great interest.
The guards riding on tall horses were majestic, and the dust on the ground was flying. Ruirui turned around and asked, "Mother, how long will it take for us to go home?"
Ji Yunqing thought for a moment and said, "It will probably take most of the day."
Actually it’s not too far, but it’s not easy to travel with a family.
She glanced outside casually, and suddenly her eyes froze.
A familiar figure flashed by.
"This is……"
Ji Yunqing frowned. Didn't Concubine Liu leave? What else did she want to do?
But it was none of her business what happened, Ji Yunqing quickly withdrew his gaze as if nothing had happened and looked somewhere else.
The long convoy was like a centipede, and each carriage was filled with people or full of goods.
As he watched, Ji Yunqing suddenly exclaimed "Huh".
"There's something wrong with the number of carriages. Is it a little too few?"
Xuancao smiled and said, "Isn't it missing? Concubine Liu's carriage is gone."
Nanny An was also in their carriage. "I have heard some news. Concubine Zhao is weak and fell ill a few days ago. She is not suitable to move.
Fortunately, the prince showed pity and told me that I could stay at the farm to recuperate and come back when I was well."
After she finished speaking, she sighed softly: "I don't know what disease it is, it's so unfortunate. It's a pity."
It is easy to recover from an illness, but it is difficult to go back home after you recover.
"sick?"
When Ji Yunqing heard this suddenly, he couldn't help but be surprised.
She remembered the medicine that Concubine Zhao had given her before.
There was something wrong with the medicine, or rather, there was something wrong with the person who gave the medicine to Concubine Zhao.
The prince must have found out something and didn't want to investigate further, so he simply abandoned Concubine Zhao and gave a warning to the person behind it, and the matter ended there.
Concubine Zhao was just a tool used by King Zhao to pressure another person. Ji Yunqing couldn't help but pursed her lips, thinking of her own situation.
Will there be a day when, for one reason or another, I will be abandoned without hesitation?
"buckle"
There was a knock on the carriage. Ji Yunqing looked up and saw a man riding a horse outside. He was the person she was thinking about just now.
"Yunqing, do you want to ride a horse?"
Ji Yunqing, who was called by him, suddenly felt a chill in his heart.
Perhaps it was the aftereffect of the Zhao concubine incident, but now when she saw this man, she felt that every word he said was full of ill intentions.
This man is not a good person!
"My Lord, I don't want to go"
Ji Yunqing rejected him directly.
King Zhao's face darkened, but then he became gentle again: "Come out and try it, you will like it."
Nanny An at the side quietly tugged at Ji Yunqing's sleeve and said, "The prince asked you to go, so you should go quickly."
