The princess traveled through time for a year to help the prince build his kingdom and then left

At four o'clock in the morning, the Prince's Mansion was quiet.

At the foot of the east wall, a guard from the Prince's Palace pulled out a delicate little crossbow from his body and inserted a small piece of silk folded into a small piece on the tip of the arrow.

He took a few steps back and raised his crossbow toward the wall.

"Whoosh!"

With a slight sound, a small arrow flew over the east wall of the Prince's Mansion under the cover of night, flew across Huayang Street which was about 30 meters wide, and landed on the ground three meters away from the west wall of the Prince of Yan's Mansion.

A guard from Prince Yan's mansion who was waiting there quickly picked it up.

In less than an incense stick of time, the small arrow was in Yan Yi's hands.

Yan Yi carefully pulled out the silk thread attached to the arrow and handed it to the man in black behind the desk with both hands.

The man stretched out a bony hand, took the silk, and with a flick of his slender fingers, he unfolded it and held it in front of his eyes.

A pair of deep eyes stared at the few lines of small words above.

After a moment, the man in black sneered and threw the silk to the man in white sitting next to him.

"Your Majesty, your arrogant brother has set his sights on General Qin who just returned to the imperial capital?"

Zuo Qingyun, a thin and capable man dressed in white, quickly looked through the information and handed the silk to the fat man next to him who was dressed in gorgeous clothes and covered in jewels.

After looking at it, the fat man put the silk into the flame of the candle on the table, lit it, and burned it up.

"Wishful thinking!" King Yan looked displeased.

Zuo Qingyun opened the folding fan in his hand, narrowed his eyes, and smiled brightly:

"Is the prince going to snatch the eldest daughter of the Qin family from the prince?"

The fat man He Fugui glanced at Zuo Qingyun in surprise, "You just met the prince?"

"Yes, no woman can catch the prince's eye, but can you blame the prince for this?"

Zuo Qingyun curled his lips, "But this won't affect the prince's marriage. If we can get the help of General Qin..."

"Qingyun, General Qin is a loyal and brave general whom I respect very much."

Chu Tiancheng had a serious expression.

"I will not use a woman to threaten General Qin."

Zuo Qingyun was not surprised at all and shut his mouth tactfully.

He Fugui looked expectant, "General Qin is a breath of fresh air, but I wonder if this Miss Qin is interesting?"

"Yan Yi."

Yan Yi immediately turned to Zuo Qingyun and He Fugui and reported the situation he had previously learned.

Qin Rubing, who is now 16 years old, just returned to the imperial capital three days ago.

No one has proposed marriage yet.

Her mother was the daughter of the richest man in Luocheng, Jiangnan, and had already prepared a generous dowry for her.

At the age of 10, he went to Mobei with his father and stayed there for six years.

The situation in Mobei is unclear, and people have been sent there to gather information.

Rumor has it that this girl is uneducated, arrogant and domineering, and has no upbringing of a noble lady.

"According to my subordinates' inquiries, the comments against Qin Rubing in the past few days were all spread by Aunt Sun from the General's Mansion."

"The purpose is to highlight how well-educated and well-educated her daughter, Qin Yurou, the second daughter of the general's mansion, is."

He Fugui's eyes turned and gleamed: "This Miss Qin might just be a stupid person with lots of money!"

Zuo Qingyun chuckled, "Do you think everyone is like you?"

"You!" He Fugui glared at Zuo Qingyun and said nothing more.

Zuo Qingyun is the most capable adviser to Prince Yan, and his mind is as cunning as a sieve.

When it comes to bickering, he's no match for it.

But if we compare wealth, he, the eldest son of He Xianfa, the largest imperial merchant in the imperial capital, is extremely wealthy.

The two have an unknown relationship with Chu Tiancheng. They are both disciples of Tianhu Zhenren, a hermit in Tianchi Mountain.

Chu Tiancheng is their senior brother, who has an excellent talent for martial arts and is the most satisfied disciple of Tianhu Zhenren.

How Zuo Qingyun could become the disciple of Tianhu Zhenren is a mystery.

But He Fugui relies on spending money.

These two people tried every means to go to Tianchi Mountain to learn skills from a master in order to save their lives, because there were too many people who wanted to kill them.

Chu Tiancheng saved the lives of both of them.

Zuo Qingyun glanced at He Fugui, smiled faintly, put away his folding fan, and turned to look at Chu Tiancheng.

"This Miss Qin... may not be able to get away with it if she is targeted by the Crown Prince."

"If I obey, it will bring disaster to General Qin. If I don't obey, my life will be in danger."

Chu Tiancheng looked at Yan Yi and said, "Send someone to secretly protect Miss Qin at the banquet tomorrow."

"Yes." Yan Yi accepted the order.

March 7th, afternoon.

One after another, luxurious carriages drove towards the Yongle Palace.

Two carriages came out of the General's Mansion. Qin Zhong and Lin Shuya rode in one, and Qin Rubing and Qin Yurou rode in another.

In the past few years when Qin Rubing was away from the imperial capital, Qin Yurou often attended various banquets under the name of Miss Qin.

Many noble ladies in the imperial capital thought she was the legitimate daughter of the Qin family.

This time, she begged her father to take her to the banquet again.

Qin Zhong was unwilling at first, but the old lady sided with Qin Yurou and spoke for her.

Qin Zhong didn't want to upset the old lady, so he had to agree.

As soon as Qin Rubing got on the carriage, she closed her eyes.

Qin Yurou thought she was nervous, and although she was disdainful, she did not disturb her.

In fact, Qin Rubing was studying the map of the imperial capital provided by Xiaoyu in her mind.

The entire imperial capital is in the shape of a rectangle, with two main roads, one horizontal and one vertical.

The main east-west road is called Yong'an Road, and at both ends of the road are the East Gate and West Gate of the imperial capital.

The main north-south road is called Yongqing Road, with the South Gate and the North Gate at either end.

The Changqiu Palace, located in the southwest corner of the imperial capital, occupies one-sixth of the city’s area, while the Yongle Palace in the southeast corner is slightly smaller.

The main entrances of Changqiu Palace and Yongle Palace face north and are both on Yong'an Road.

The Prince's Mansion and Prince Yan's Mansion are located on the north side of Yong'an Road, and their main gates face south.

The two palaces are separated by Huayang Street.

The back doors of the Prince's Mansion and the Prince of Yan's Mansion both face north, and there is a narrow east-west road in front of the doors called Sunset Street.

"The Prince's Mansion is just ahead." Qin Yurou's personal maid Zhu'er reminded in a low voice.

Qin Yurou immediately lifted the curtain on the right side of the carriage and looked out impatiently.

Qin Rubing suddenly opened her eyes, lifted the curtain on the left, and looked to the east.

The carriage happened to pass by Sunset Street.

The voice of "Xiao Yu" echoed in my ears.

"Go west from this street across Yongqing Road and you will intersect with Jintai Street, a narrow north-south road."

"Jingzhao Prefecture is located at the northwest corner of the intersection."

Qin Rubing took a look and then lowered the curtain thoughtfully.

"Hahaha!"

A burst of undisguised laughter rang out in the carriage.

Qin Rubing turned her head and saw Qin Yurou laughing so hard that tears were about to come out. The golden hairpin on her head swayed back and forth, which was almost blinding.

Seeing Qin Rubing looking at her in confusion, Zhu Er stopped laughing and kindly reminded:

"Miss, the prince's mansion is in the west, not in the east."

It's boring. Who wants to see the Prince's Mansion?

Suddenly remembering something, Qin Rubing lifted the curtain on the left and looked towards the Prince Yan's Mansion on the east side of the road.

The master and servant in the car burst into laughter.

Qin Rubing ignored him and took a deep look at the high walls of Prince Yan's Mansion, as if she wanted to see through the wall and see the people inside.

The jade bracelet on her wrist trembled slightly.

Qin Rubing quickly lowered the curtain.

Why do I feel like someone is watching me?
