Chapter 188 Strike
"what happened?"
"I want to go back to the mansion to see Qingyi..."
Chu Beiqing thought she was going to do something, so he immediately said, "Don't worry, after leaving the palace, I have sent Mu Jian to the Zhongshu Mansion to investigate. If your sister has any problems, he will report back as soon as possible."
As he spoke, Chu Beiqing gave an order to the outsiders, "Go to Guangju Tower..."
Yan Qingning was surprised. When did he inform Mu Jian? How come she didn't know?
Guangjulou is a tavern closest to Zhongshufu.
It was past noon and my stomach was empty, screaming with hunger.
It's fine to eat there while waiting for news.
Yan Qingning silently pondered over her next plan.
As long as Chu Beiqing is doing well, everything will be solved.
"I'm sorry to trouble Your Highness..." Yan Qingning said sincerely.
Hearing her polite yet distant words, Chu Beiqing frowned slightly.
But soon, the ordered food had just arrived when Mu Jian came back.
Chu Beiqing picked up a piece of fish with chopsticks and picked out the fish bones while listening to Mu Jian's report.
It was just as Chu Beiqing expected.
Yan Qingyi is basically fine.
Mu Jian inquired in detail and only heard that Yan Qingyi accidentally fell into the lotus pond in the back garden a few days ago.
Fortunately, the lotus pond was neither big nor deep, and the person was rescued without any danger. However, it was discovered that the silver bracelet was missing.
"Oh, you really put a lot of thought into it!" Yan Qingning said sarcastically. It seemed that this had been planned long ago.
Chu Beiqing picked out the tiny fish bones carefully, thinking he was talking about Chu Yuanli, and said with disdain, "He has always been so insidious, it's no surprise."
Yan Qingning raised her eyebrows, "Ah, the prince also knows that she is insidious? But it's a pity that she did it cleanly this time, and there is no evidence..."
She sighed in her heart, it seems that Yan Xiwei’s good impression on Chu Beiqing is almost gone.
She felt a little secretly happy.
"There's nothing to regret. You can eat some things even if you don't like them, but you can't suffer losses!" Chu Beiqing's eyes were cold.
Well, your father loves him so much, and I’m sure Chu Yuanli won’t appreciate it, so you’d better not go.
Yan Qingning suddenly became interested, "Oh? Your Majesty is willing to do so?"
She had heard from Yuqi that people of this era attached great importance to their legal wife.
After all, people at that time attached great importance to the unity of husband and wife, and the principle of prospering together and falling together.
Most men are willing to show respect and tolerance to their wives.
Therefore, when she told Chu Beiqing what happened today, she did not mention Yan Xiwei.
There is no evidence to support it, and if you tell it you might be accused of slandering the mistress and committing treason.
Yan Qingning simply didn't want to make things difficult for herself.
Even though she and Chu Beiqing were already husband and wife, she didn't think that she was special to Chu Beiqing just because of her physical intimacy with him.
She couldn't guarantee that Chu Beiqing, a true ancient man, would abandon etiquette and principles and make an exception for her.
Of course, she would not use her body to gain anything. This is one of her few principles and bottom line.
Chu Beiqing frowned slightly when he heard this, and he looked a little unhappy. "What?"
Why is she saying something weird?
"Well, nothing."
Yan Qingning secretly complained in her heart, she lost her temper!
The two people had their own thoughts, and they didn't even know that they were not talking about the same person.
But it did not stop Yan Qingning from continuing to analyze silently. Yan Xiwei had learned her lesson this time and cleared herself of all blame. Even Chu Yuanli was tricked by her.
It seems I have to find an opportunity to talk to Chu Jia.
There is only a thief who can steal for a thousand days, but you can't guard against thieves for a thousand days. We have to think of a way to solve the problem once and for all.
There was an extra piece of fish on the plate in front of me.
The meat is delicate and tender, with a white luster, which makes people's appetite increase at the sight of it.
Yan Qingning looked up and saw Chu Beiqing said naturally: "Don't worry, eat it, there are no thorns."
"Thank you, Your Highness." Yan Qingning came back to his senses.
But I was full of surprise in my heart. Chu Beiqing could actually serve others?
Coincidentally, she likes fish and shrimp, but is too lazy to pick out the bones or peel the shells.
Chu Beiqing didn't respond to her words. With a faint smile on his face, he said gently, "Enjoy your meal this time and don't think too much."
Although he said this, Chu Beiqing snorted in his heart and couldn't help feeling a little dissatisfied with the Minister of the Central Secretariat.
It seems I have to find some time to have a good talk with my father about this Minister of the Central Secretariat.
What is Yan Feng doing as the Minister of the Central Secretariat? His own affairs are a mess, and he has to make his married daughter worry about him.
Yan Qingning followed suit and said, "Okay..."
Picking up the fish meat, it is smooth, tender and soft, and the taste is indeed very delicious.
Yan Qingning chewed slowly, feeling a sense of happiness while eating. She squinted her eyes in enjoyment, her long eyelashes blocking her wandering gaze.
Yan Xiwei, you have to hold on for now!
After being out for a whole day and being tense for so long, Yan Qingning felt irresistibly sleepy as soon as she sat in the carriage after eating and drinking.
The carriage was shaking and I couldn't help but fall asleep.
Chu Beiqing found her looking like a chicken pecking at rice so funny that he couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips.
Seeing that her head was about to slip, he reached out to support it, then sat down beside her and let her rest her head on his shoulder.
Yan Qingning fell asleep in a daze, almost without realizing it.
When she returned to Prince Qing's Mansion, as expected, she was carried back by Chu Beiqing in a ostentatious manner.
At that time, Yan Qingning woke up.
She didn't know whether the others were really fast asleep, but she woke up when the carriage stopped and Shuhui was outside reporting.
But...she pretended to be dead asleep.
Because she suddenly thought of Yan Xiwei.
Yan Xiwei must be paying attention to her. She must be very upset to hear the news that she was carried back!
However, the way she couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips slightly caused Chu Beiqing to misunderstand.
His eyes were filled with unprecedented warmth and love. After all, she was just a little girl. If she wanted him to hold her, she could just say it. She always liked to act stubborn.
There was no sign that she was smirking.
Sure enough, as Yan Qingning expected, Yan Xiwei had been paying attention to her.
Yan Xiwei knew they had returned home the first time. "What did you say? She was carried back by the prince?"
Seeing her stern expression, Madam Guo's legs started to cramp and her voice trembled, "Yes, yes, yes..."
Yan Xiwei didn't pay attention to Madam Guo, and blurted out, "Are you injured?"
She naturally thought that the prince would only take her back if she was injured.
Because this was within her expectations. Today, even if Yan Qingning was lucky, she would not be able to come back safe and sound. The emperor would not let her off easily.
Madam Guo's face turned pale, and she said with gritted teeth: "No one was injured..."
At first she also thought Yan Qingning was injured. She asked the person who delivered the message, and he said that she seemed to be asleep and had no signs of injury.
"No? Are you sure?" Yan Xiwei gritted her teeth and stared at Madam Guo.
As if she dared to say the word "sure", she would be killed immediately...
