Surprise! The prince is busy reading the princess' mind while raising a child!

Zhong Qingcheng.

The daughter of Zhong Jian, the Minister of Rites, was born with a beautiful face and a charming appearance, and was loved by her family. She was also known as "the most beautiful woman in the capital" because she was proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting.

When she was seven years old, she went to the temple with her mother to burn incense and accidentally saved Ye Lingfeng who fell into a trap.

"Help! Is there anyone? Help!"

"Are you shouting for help?"

A beautiful face suddenly appeared at the side of the trap, with big eyes like black pearls blinking.

"Yes, it's me. Please save me! Or you can go find the abbot in the temple and ask him to tell my father to save me!"

"What's your name?" the fairy-like little girl asked crisply.

"My name is Ye Lingfeng, what's your name?"

"My name is Zhong Qingcheng. Don't be afraid, I'll call someone to rescue you right now!"

From then on, there was a small, unknown corner in Ye Lingfeng's young heart.

There lived a girl who was as kind, lovely and beautiful as an angel.

Later, Ye Lingfeng grew up and often accompanied his father and brothers to garrison the border and fight the enemy.

Whenever he returned to Beijing, he would bring her gifts.

There is a small door in the back garden of Zhong Qingcheng's house. Every time Ye Lingfeng returns to Beijing, he will ask Ye San to send her a letter.

Because of the taboo of physical contact between men and women, Ye San was the one who delivered things every time, and he stood far away under a plum tree outside their house.

Although the two did not exchange many words, Ye Lingfeng had a plan in mind.

When he reached the age to get married, he asked his parents to come to the Zhong family to propose marriage.

Later, the family suffered a sudden change. His father and elder and second brothers died in the war, and he became disabled. In addition, he was expelled from the capital, and he also faked his death. He never saw the two again.

This time, Ye Lingfeng heard that Shi Yi risked her life to go to Beijing to save people, and he was extremely worried. So he took Ye Si and Ye Xiaowu and sneaked into the capital in disguise.

Ye Lingfeng was wearing black clothes, a half mask, and holding a weapon, and was tracking Shi Yi all the way.

Unexpectedly, for some reason, I was found and recognized by Zhong Qingcheng in an alley.

And facing his lifesaver since childhood, facing the white moonlight in his heart, he did not deny his identity and let her throw herself into his arms.

Coincidentally, he didn't push her away at the first moment, and was seen by Shi Yi!

He regrets it so much!

After calming down, he slowly began to think about what went wrong.

I went to Beijing to find Shi Yi completely on a whim, so why did I happen to meet her at such a perfect time?

Shi Yi once said that there are no coincidences in this world!

So what went wrong…

Ye Lingfeng was thinking when Ye San knocked on the door.

He took out the wooden box and pushed it in front of Ye Lingfeng: "This is what the princess left behind before she left."

After that, he went out.

Ye Lingfeng gently opened the wooden box, and a white magnolia hairpin lay quietly in the box.

His eyes turned red instantly!

This was a gift he gave to Shi Yi.

There was also a letter inside.

Ye Lingfeng opened the letter and found Shi Yi's handwriting inside.

She wrote several thousand words in the letter, telling him everything she knew about life, food, training, leading troops, military tactics, lurking, and intelligence.

She also said that she would take Zhaozhao and Duoduo away first, and send them back after they grew up. There was no need to look for her, because she would not be found.

It seems like we are saying goodbye, never to see each other again in this life...

Ye Lingfeng suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Shi Yi, wait for me. I will arrange everything tonight and come to find you tomorrow."

The blood was spat onto Shi Yi's letter. Ye Lingfeng slowly opened his eyes and then spat out another mouthful of blood.

Ye San heard the sound and rushed in:

"Your Highness, how are you? You're vomiting blood! I'll go call the military doctor!"

Ye Lingfeng nodded weakly, holding Shi Yi's letter tightly in his hand, his eyes gradually becoming firm.

Soon, the military doctor arrived and diagnosed that Ye Lingfeng had a heart attack and needed to rest for two days.

Ye Si and Ye Xiaowu also came back from the military camp and stayed by Ye Lingfeng's side.

"I can just rest here. Ye San, hurry up and check on Zhong Qingcheng. Ye Si will be in charge of daily training. Ye Xiaowu will stay by my side and take care of me first. When I feel better, I will go find Shi Yi."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Soon, Ye San rode down the mountain and headed for the capital to collect all the information about Zhong Qingcheng in the past few years.

Ye Si also returned to the military camp to supervise everyone's training.

"Your Highness, why do I always feel that something is strange about these few days?" Ye Xiaowu took out an apple from his pocket, washed and peeled it, and handed it to the prince.

"Did you go to the warehouse to steal apples?" Ye Lingfeng's eyes widened.

"No, the one in the warehouse is not that big. This is what the princess put in the prince's tent before she left. Didn't you see it? It's a big basket! Look, it's under your desk."

Ye Xiaowu took out another one, without peeling it, and started eating it in big mouthfuls.

"Listen more, watch more, talk less. Come here, I have something to leave to you." Ye Lingfeng lowered his voice.

After hearing this, Ye Xiaowu's face became grim and his expression was solemn:

"Yes, I'll go right away."

"Be careful, don't tell anyone! From today on, you will be in full charge of the engineering squad!"

"understand!"

After saying that, Ye Xiaowu took a bite of the apple viciously and walked out of the tent.

Shi Yi, I miss you so much!

After thinking about it, Ye Lingfeng got out of bed, went to the desk, wrote a note using a secret method, put it into a bamboo tube, and whistled in front of the tent.

After two sips of tea, a nimble seagull flew down from the sky.

Ye Lingfeng tied the small bamboo tube to Hai Dongqing's leg, then looked into Hai Dongqing's eyes and whispered:

"Brother, help me find my wife! I know you understand!"

Hai Dongqing turned his head away: "You scumbag, don't you want your wife?"

"Brother Hai, that's all misunderstanding! And next time, don't talk. If someone finds out, you'll be dead! Remember?"

Ye Lingfeng touched the smooth feathers on his back and explained in detail.

"Also, Brother Hai, I need your help with something."

Ye Lingfeng took out a sausage, opened the casing, and put it to Hai Dongqing's mouth:

"Eat. You'll have more strength when you're full!... Do you understand?"

"Okay! I understand, I understand. Why are you such a nagging man?" Saker Falcon buried his head under the feathers.

After eating the sausage and explaining everything, Ye Lingfeng carried him out of the tent, and he flapped his wings and flew away.

Ye Lingfeng narrowed his eyes and stared into the pitch-dark night.

Gusts of wind blew by, bringing the clear words of the animals in the forest.

[Your Majesty, there is a group of wolves in the east, and the leader is your Xiao Hei's parents. The east is normal.]

[Your Majesty, the Eagle King and his little eagle are stationed in the west. Everything is normal in the west.]

[Your Majesty, the children of the Saker Falcon are on guard in the east. Everything is normal in the east.]

[Your Majesty, the owls in the south are on night watch, everything in the south is normal.]

"Okay, cheer up and work hard. You will be rewarded when the warehouse is opened and grain is released tomorrow morning."

In the darkness of the night, four carrier pigeons flew back from different directions...
