Professional Ethics of a Concubine

At the British palace, the atmosphere became more and more joyful.

After three rounds of drinking, Zheng Qingyan was completely drunk and began to put his arm around the prince's shoulders, calling him cousin all the time, and reminiscing about the time when they played together in the hot spring villa a few years ago.

"When you were still a marquis, I knew you were extraordinary, but I never thought you were so extraordinary!"

As Zheng Qingyan spoke, he put one arm around Xie Jin's neck and banged his head against Xie Jin's shoulder.

Xie Jin, ...

I didn't know you were such a bad drinker back then.

The eldest princess rubbed her forehead speechlessly and ordered someone to pull him away quickly.

This is really disrespectful!

Zheng Qinghe's slight drunkenness was sobered up by his brother's banging and banging movements.

Looking at the prince again, he only had helplessness on his face, and no anger at all. I couldn't help but admire the prince's good self-cultivation and broad mind!

The King of England had drunk too much and was completely drunk, lying on the table and dying.

It just so happened that the banquet was almost over, so it ended immediately.

The eldest princess was preparing to take the crown prince and others back to the princess's mansion, so she left the drunk little son here to sober up. There was no need to bring him back to cause trouble.

She didn't need to worry about her drunken husband, and the princess was too lazy to care either, out of sight, out of mind.

And until now, the King of Qi has not shown up.

Although the prince was having a meal, he was still thinking about the King of Qi.

As cautious as Xie Jin was, after he became the crown prince, he arranged more than one spies around the King of Qi.

How could a prince with military power, who is not familiar with him, just leave it alone?

However, it was just as he had complained to Ye Qingzhi before, even though his spies stared at the King of Qi all day long without blinking, they could not get any useful information.

The spies were also very upset. Following the King of Qi, they really didn't achieve any results!!!

And today, there was finally a breakthrough.

The prince left the palace and was about to get on the carriage to return to the princess's palace. A spy who was arranged to be beside the King of Qi did not hesitate to expose his identity and went straight to the prince to deliver the message to him.

"Your Highness, the King of Qi has captured a very important person. He said his name is Li Anping and he wants to see Your Highness. Moreover, the King of Qi's behavior is very abnormal."

Upon hearing this, Xie Jin frowned immediately, thinking that something bad had happened.

Xie Wenyuan mentioned in the letter that he asked Li Anping to go to Xiong Dayong.

At this stage, it is still a bit early to reveal Xie Wenyuan's identity, and we can't let everyone know about it.

However, now that Li Anping has been captured by King Qi, the truth must be informed to King Qi, King Ying and others in advance.

"Follow me to the military camp." Xie Jin turned to Zheng Qinghe and ordered,

"I want to see the King of Qi!"

"Ah?" Zheng Qinghe was confused. It wasn't that he was drunk. He was just slightly tipsy just now and now he is sober.

But the prince just said that it doesn’t matter if the King of Qi doesn’t come, and they can meet tomorrow.

This sudden change of mind is naturally shocking.

Every change in the attitude of the superior can excessively involve other people's minds.

"Something has happened with the King of Qi. I don't have time to explain. You lead the way on horseback and go to the military camp immediately."

The prince jumped on his horse and gave instructions to Zheng Qinghe.

"Yes!" Zheng Qinghe shuddered all over. Without having time to think, he immediately obeyed the order, grabbed the reins of another horse, jumped on the horse, and galloped forward. He didn't even have time to say goodbye to the princess.

"Aunt, Qingzhi and the children will go back with you first." The prince said this and rode away on horseback with his guards.

The eldest princess looked at their speeding figures, her brows furrowed, and her mood fluctuated.

"Aunt, don't worry, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is very reliable."

Ye Qingzhi held the eldest princess's arm and comforted her,

"Even if the King of Qi wanted to rebel, he could deceive him and make him give up on his own."

The eldest princess: "..."

The princess couldn't help but smile and shook her head, saying to Ye Qingzhi, "Don't easily say anything about treason. It's not good for the King of Qi, and it's not good for you either."

"My aunt taught me that I was still too young and spoiled, and I had no rules. When I encountered problems, I had to rely on my aunt to teach me."

Ye Qingzhi nodded vigorously and said seriously.

"Why do I feel like you are deliberately trying to make me happy and forget my worries?" The eldest princess looked at her and said.

"No way." Ye Qingzhi supported the eldest princess' arm and helped her get on the carriage. She then called Mingyu and the others over and asked them to talk to the eldest princess.

When they arrived at the Princess's Mansion, the eldest princess got off the carriage. She had calmed down a lot and said to Ye Qingzhi with a smile,

"I now understand more and more why the prince can't do without you, Master Ye. With you as a good wife in the backyard, the prince will never have to worry about fire in the backyard."

Ye Qingzhi smiled and was about to say something modest as usual, when she heard the eldest princess say,

"It seems that my decision to entrust the children in the palace to you to teach together was the right one."

Ye Qingzhi, "???"

It turns out that I don’t call you aunt for nothing!

With so many children, she could just open a kindergarten and be the principal herself.

In the future, she will have many students all over the world.

As for the students in her kindergarten, judging by their background and quality, no one else's peaches and plums are as numerous and expensive as hers.

That’s okay.

Planting trees now will allow her to enjoy the shade in the future.

barracks.

An hour ago.

The King of Qi came back, and this time he finally caught the person he wanted to catch.

He returned to the tent and asked the others to leave.

He stared at the familiar man in front of him for a while, and finally took two steps forward and pulled off the fake beard on his face.

"It's really you!" King Qi stared at Li Anping's face and said word by word.

The King of Qi's voice was a little hoarse and low, but his eyes were shining and full of excitement.

"Long time no see, Your Highness the Prince of Qi." Li Anping was full of helplessness and said weakly,

"I don't know how I have offended His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi, so that you keep staring at me and insist on arresting me."

When Li Anping thought about how this would delay his master's business, he became anxious and blamed himself, and the look in his eyes when he looked at the King of Qi became more and more resentful.

During this month, he had been very careful to avoid the King of Qi, but he was still caught by the King of Qi.

It's so terrible!

"You are still alive, but what about him? Where is Xie Wenyuan?" King Qi ignored Li Anping's words and asked directly.

"My master, he..." Li Anping didn't want to say that his master was dead. He felt that saying so would be cursing his master, but he couldn't tell the truth now.

He was just struggling when the guards outside urged him,

"Your Highness, the Crown Prince has arrived in Funing City. The Commander-in-Chief and the General asked you to return to the city to meet him!"

When Li Anping heard that the prince had arrived, his eyes lit up and he immediately shouted,

"I'm Li Anping, I want to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! I have something important to report."

It was Li Anping's shout that was heard by the spies around the prince, who immediately went to deliver the message to the prince regardless of anything.

"You betrayed Xie Wenyuan?" King Qi frowned, really confused and with too many doubts.

"Your Highness Prince Qi, you don't understand. There are too many things going on here."

Li Anping sighed and said to King Qi again, "Why do you want to arrest me? I won't get in your way."

"Where is Xie Wenyuan? Is he dead?" King Qi asked again, very stubbornly wanting an answer, "Tell me!"

Li Anping thought about the relationship between the King of Qi and his master, and it didn't seem to be very good.

So, the King of Qi thinks that he has caught the master's handle and wants to take this opportunity to kill him?

"I don't want to say anything before I meet the prince." Li Anping said firmly.

The King of Qi stared at him for a long while, and made his own judgment, "Whether Xie Wenyuan is dead or not, it seems that you have become the prince's man, so I will kill you first!"

As he said this, the King of Qi drew his sword and stabbed towards Li Anping's throat.

"...Wait!" Li Anping was frightened by him and his pupils shrank. He quickly dodged to the side and shouted loudly,

"Your Highness, there must be some misunderstanding between us. Please listen to me first! I can answer your question right now. Don't rush to kill me."

King Qi put away his sword and stared at Li Anping, waiting for his reply.

Li Anping slowly took two steps back, putting some distance between them, and then said, "My master is indeed still alive."

He could feel that the King of Qi really wanted to kill him and was not just trying to scare him.

When Li Anping saw that his eyes brightened and a hint of joy appeared on his face when he heard the news that his master was still alive, he couldn't help but feel relieved.

It seems that the King of Qi has good intentions towards his master, not bad intentions.

"Where is he?" the King of Qi asked again.

"...Chu State." Li Anping didn't want to say it, but when he was stared at by the King of Qi's bright dark eyes and looked at the sword in his hand, he still said it.

He didn't want to die either, so he could only delay time. When the prince came, he would have nothing to do.

The King of Qi fell silent again, his eyes lowered, obviously thinking.

After a while, he walked towards Li Anping in silence.

Li Anping could not help but retreat in panic. Not sensing his murderous intent, he reluctantly stopped and looked at the King of Qi to see what he wanted to do.

However, the King of Qi cut the rope with his sword and untied him.

Li Anping looked at him in confusion and took the initiative to ask, "Your Highness Prince Qi, what do you mean?"

"Go away." said the King of Qi.

"...I won't leave." Li Anping shook his head, "I want to wait for the crown prince. I will leave after I meet him."

"Why do you insist on speaking to the Crown Prince?" The King of Qi frowned.

He hated talking, but he really didn't understand, so he had to ask.

"To be honest with you, King Qi, I am now the prince's man." Before Li Anping could finish his words, the King of Qi's sword was on his neck again, and blood was seen.

Li Anping,

If this happens two more times, he might never see his master again.

"You still betrayed him." The King of Qi had murderous intent in his eyes.

"...Your Highness the Prince of Qi, I did not betray my master. Now my master and the prince are in cahoots!" Li Anping wanted to cry but had no tears. In order to save his life, he could only tell the truth.

This is also because he can feel that the King of Qi is protecting his master and standing on his master's side.

Although his behavior was not desirable, Li Anping recognized his determination to protect his master.

This time it was the King of Qi who was shocked. Even he, who usually had a blank expression, showed a look of shock.

"I don't believe it." King Qi frowned and shook his head, thrusting the sword towards Li Anping again, threatening, "Tell the truth!"

Li Anping didn't dare to move, and said with a look of despair, "This is the truth."
