Traveling through the ancient times

Tianqing returned to her residence and immediately sent a message to Lu Mingqian. Regardless of whether they were willing to face it or not, they were still at fault this time.

When Lu Mingqian heard the news, he immediately called Tianqing to question her, "You said someone has been trying to find out about Chu Hua? You and Tianqing were framed by that person and have been trapped for more than a month?"

"Yes, it's my subordinates' incompetence!" Tian Qing did not evade responsibility.

"Also, in the house where we were imprisoned, a man came to deliver food to us every day. That man used to live in the residence of Qunan Governor Zhou. But the day before yesterday, he also captured Mr. Zhou's daughter, Miss Zhou, and brought two beggars with him in an attempt to humiliate Miss Zhou."

Lu Mingqian thought of Song Yi, the son of Mr. Zhou's old friend, whom he had asked about before at the Zhou Mansion. Wasn't he exiled by Mr. Zhou? Could something have happened along the way? "Is that the man who arrested you?"

"Your Highness, that's not the case. The man who captured us has not appeared since we were captured. That man brings us meals every day. According to my observation, that man does not know martial arts." If Song Yi knew martial arts, he would not have been panting and sweating after carrying Zhou Jingjing back.

Lu Mingqian didn't know whether Tianqing was talking about Song Yi. If so, his arrest of Miss Zhou could be understood as revenge against Mr. Zhou's family.

Who was the martial arts expert with him? He could easily knock down Tianqing and Tianqing. It was obvious that he was very good at both martial arts and strategy.

"Have you checked that house? Is there anything unusual?"

"My lord, I have already checked. The man has left and the house is now empty." After rescuing Tianqing and the others, Xing San searched the house. He went again at night, but there was no one there.

Lu Mingqian was silent for a while, it seemed that the man had escaped.

Tianqing was trapped, but he did not receive any news from Tianxing and Feishuang, which meant that nothing should have happened to Chushouhua. "After you and Tianqing recover from your injuries, go and accept your punishment. Go down!"

Lu Mingqian asked Tianqing to go down, but Tianqing hadn't reacted yet. According to the master's previous way of doing things, since they made two mistakes in a row, Lu Mingqian should expel them from the Dark Guard Camp, or perhaps send them to other places to do some hard work.

But judging from what the master means now, is it enough to just let them go and accept the punishment? Or should they wait until their injuries are healed before going? No wonder the guards in the mansion are so looking forward to Miss Nian and the master getting married!

Ever since the master met Miss Nian, he has become so different that none of his subordinates dared to recognize him. They had never dared to even imagine having such a gentle master before.

During this time, they secretly followed Miss Nian and saw clearly that Miss Nian never put on airs in front of the servants around her, and treated the maid next to her like a real sister, buying her food and clothes and always caring about her, which made them secretly envious.

Tian Qing retreated fearfully. The housekeeper quietly poked his head outside the door and said, "Your Highness, you will not leave again after you come back this time. You said Miss Nian is busy and you are busy too. You two only see each other a few times a year. Does Miss Nian still remember what you look like?"

Lu Mingqian also felt that she and Nian Chuhua seemed to have not seen each other for a long time...

Seeing Lu Mingqian's thoughtful look, the butler continued, "I've gone to ask around for you. Miss Nian always brings her butler with her whenever she goes out. I heard from the people down below that the butler is young and promising, handsome, and very caring towards Miss Nian!"

The butler observed Lu Mingqian's reaction while speaking. Seeing that Lu Mingqian was still unmoved, he used a ruthless move, "I heard that Miss Nian's parents like that butler very much. Miss Nian is not young anymore. Will Master Nian and Madam Nian marry Miss Nian to that butler who accompanies Miss Nian everywhere every day?"

"I think since His Highness has no interest in Miss Nian, it is not impossible for Miss Nian to marry the housekeeper. This way, they can be of one mind..."

"That's enough..." The housekeeper's words became more and more outrageous, and Lu Mingqian's blood pressure rose. "When did I say that I have no interest in Miss Nian?"

"Since Your Highness is interested in Miss Nian, why do you let Miss Nian be with that butler every day? Aren't you jealous?" The butler glanced at Lu Mingqian. His sweetheart was with someone else, but he still looked like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water, which made him very anxious.

"I'll eat it!" Wasn't Lu Mingqian jealous? But he had no choice, as he also needed to take care of the military affairs. Moreover, he believed that Chu Shuhua was not the kind of person who would change her mind easily.

"Eat, then why don't you go find her? What are you still sitting here for? Miss Nian will be kidnapped by someone else soon. By then, you will have no place to cry. As an old slave, I will not hand a handkerchief to Your Highness."

"Why don't you even hand me a handkerchief?" Lu Mingqian was dissatisfied with the housekeeper's heartlessness.

"Because, I need her myself. Such a good princess consort was abducted by someone else. Wouldn't she be sad?" As the butler spoke, he began to pretend to pull Lu Mingqian's sleeve and wipe his tears.

Lu Mingqian pulled back his sleeves in disdain, "Don't worry, you can't run away."

"Are you sure?"

"I'm sure Miss Nian is not the kind of person who would easily change her mind."

"Although Miss Nian is not the kind of person who is easily tempted by other men, she can't help but fall in love with him over time! You see, they are together every day like this, so they must have developed feelings for each other after being together for so long! Our Miss Nian is so beautiful, which man wouldn't like her?"

What the housekeeper said made sense. Lu Mingqian couldn't help but think deeply. Even if Nian Chuhua liked him and would not develop any feelings for Qi Muhe, there was no guarantee that Qi Muhe would not have a secret crush on Nian Chuhua.

It seems that I need to be vigilant and give Qi Muhe a good warning someday so that he won't have any evil thoughts about Chushou Hua.

Lu Mingqian had no idea that Qi Muhe not only had a secret crush on Nian Chuhua, but that it had started a long time ago...

"I see!"

"Your Highness knows? Then when do you plan to marry Miss Nian?"

"Well... it seems too early to get married..."

"It's not early. How can it be early? When the king was your age, you would have run away!" You are already in your early twenties. How can it be early? It's too late, okay...

"Miss Nian is still young..."

"Miss Nian is not young anymore. When the Queen was this old, His Highness would have run away!"

Lu Mingqian felt a little speechless. Why did they all run away?

"But Miss Nian is a person with ideals and ambitions. She wants to create her own career." Nian Chuhua once told him that she wanted to carve out a world of her own.

"I know, Miss Nian is a girl with her own ideas, but it doesn't affect her marriage and business. Can't she still do business after getting married?"

The housekeeper felt that Lu Mingqian was just making excuses for himself. When could he not do business? It was not like he couldn't do business after getting married. Even if Miss Nian got married and got pregnant with the little prince, didn't they still have them? They could all help Miss Nian with her business.

"Well, I see!"

"Now that you know this, when are you going to propose to Miss Nian?"

"Wait a minute, I'll go discuss it with her!"

"Okay, then you better hurry up. When Miss Nian comes back this time, you should prepare generous gifts and go to the Nian Mansion to meet Miss Nian's parents and have a good discussion with them. Then I can find a matchmaker to propose marriage for you."

"it is good!"

"You must keep it in mind. This is your top priority right now!"

"Got it, go down and rest!"

"Yes, the old slave retire!"

After the housekeeper left, Lu Mingqian sat alone in the study and began to daydream again. This was something he had never done before he met Nian Chuhua.

In the past, apart from sleeping, he was busy with military affairs and thinking about the arrangements for affairs in various places. He had no free time to just sit there and do nothing.

As I was thinking, the butler's voice suddenly came from outside, "Your Highness, you should go to bed early. Staying up late will cause hair loss. If you become bald, Miss Nian will definitely not be happy."

Lu Mingqian picked up a bamboo slip and threw it at the housekeeper at the door, "You are older than me, why don't you go to bed quickly or you will get bald."

"I am old now, and it is normal for me to lose my hair..."

Lu Mingqian touched his hair. It seemed to be quite thick, black and smooth. He should not be bald!
