The first time in history

He closed his eyes and pondered. "Chu Xiang might be my father's man." Qian Mingduo suddenly opened his eyes, "I remember that Concubine Hui said that my father was injured during the attack on Xinzhou."

"That means, it is possible that the emperor was recuperating from his injuries at Chu Xiang's home." Lu Ran nodded.

"Chu Xiang is in his early fifties this year, so the timeline is right. He was a young man more than twenty years ago. He was brought by his father and the Princess's Mansion was built fifteen years ago. Chu Xiang is thirty-five or thirty-six years old, and he is calm and capable."

Qian Mingduo sighed softly, "If Chu Xiang was my father's man, did my father monitor my aunt at that time?"

"We can only analyze it based on the fact that Chu Xiang passed the information to us. As for who Chu Xiang belongs to, can Your Highness give a conclusion?" Lu Ran gently held Qian Mingduo's hand and flicked the dirt off his shoulder.

"Since he has shown up, why don't I go talk to him!" Qian Mingduo stopped him and put his arm around Lu Ran's waist.

"The whole city is looking for your highness. It is too dangerous to go out to see Chu Xiang at this time." Lu Ran said softly.

"The most dangerous place may also be a safe place." Qian Mingduo stroked Lu Ran's back. "Ran'er, we haven't had sex for so many years. You have always been like a sister to me. I don't want to break this feeling of being loved by you."

"Your Highness!" Lu Ran blushed.

Qian Mingduo let go of Lu Ran and took a step back. "I'm going to find the owner of Mo Yi Tower now. I don't know if she can tell me the truth."

"Don't we have to figure out Xiang's identity first?" Lu Ran asked in confusion.

Qian Mingduo looked outside and said, "The most important thing now is to find out what the imperial aunt's intentions are. Since the imperial aunt has dealings with Mo Yi Lou, let's start with Mo Yi Lou."

He paused, "As for Chu Xiang... let's not discuss his purpose for doing this, but the information he revealed is still extremely useful."

Qian Mingduo walked towards the tunnel entrance and said, "There is no need to hesitate. I will go find the owner of Mo Yi Tower now."

"Your Highness!" Lu Ran grabbed Qian Mingduo's hand, "Your Highness...you must be careful. Ran'er is worried about you."

Qian Mingduo turned around and hugged Lu Ran. "If you feel like you can leave the house for a while these few days, come down and find me."

"Yeah!" Lu Ran nodded shyly.

An old man with white hair and a cane is leaning on a cane, which supports his slightly trembling body. Although he is old, he still has a unique temperament, as if it is the wisdom and composure accumulated over the years.

When he passed the city gate, he glanced at the wanted notice posted by the government. The portrait on it was of the handsome and noble fifth prince Ruichen.

The old man coughed and walked away tremblingly. The soldiers guarding the city gate didn't pay any attention to the old man.

The old man walked slowly into a woods, and soon a carriage came out at full speed.

In Liujiazhuang, five miles south of the city, the lake was quiet and rippled. There was no boat on the lake, not even a single one.

Standing by the lake, Qian Mingduo felt a little depressed, but he had a feeling that would guide him to do something.

So he turned back to the carriage, lay on Zi'er's thighs, closed his eyes and took a nap.

Qing'er didn't know what to do, so she jumped off the carriage and stared around.

The cicadas on the tree were chirping loudly, and Qian Mingduo sighed helplessly. "Zi'er, do you know what the Shanxi people call these annoying cicadas?"

"From Shanxi?" Zi'er shook her head. "There is a place called Mu'er Village in Xinzhou, Shanxi. They call cicadas "Xianjia"."

"Xianjia? Why do you call Chan Xianjia?"

"I don't know why they call me that. Chan has several feet, how many feet do you have?" Qian Mingduo took off Zi'er's embroidered shoes, revealing a pair of slender, clean and white jade feet.

"I will invent something in a few days. It's called fucking socks. They are made of silk. How sexy will you girls look when you wear them on your feet?" Qian Mingduo stroked Zi'er's feet.

"Your Highness, a sedan chair is coming this way." Qing'er said outside the car window. "There are only two sedan chair bearers, no one else."

"When I invent this kind of silk socks, I'll give them to you two sisters first, okay?"

"Yes, Your Highness!" Zi'er said shyly.

The sedan bearer lowered the sedan beside the carriage, and a gentle voice came from inside the sedan. "Although I only have two bearers, they are very strong, so it wouldn't hurt to have one more."

Qian Mingduo smiled and gently tickled Zi'er's soles, seeing her trying to hide but not daring to, and yet still feeling itchy, with a shy and aggrieved expression on her face. He smiled crookedly.

Jumping off the carriage and opening the curtain, Qian Mingduo's eyes lit up.

A woman sat quietly in a sedan chair with a black lining. She was dressed in pure black, solemn from head to toe.

However, her face and exposed feet were strikingly white. Against the black background, her fair face looked like a white flower blooming in the dark night. Her feet, as white as snow, formed a sharp contrast with the black clothes and sedan chair.

This is a tweed sedan, suitable for only one person. So Qian Mingduo is sitting in the sedan with Liu Jingxue in his arms.

Liu Jingxue's head rested on Qian Mingduo's shoulder, her hair rubbing against Qian Mingduo's ears from time to time. The faint fragrance also made Qian Mingduo feel very comfortable.

"Our current posture seems ridiculous?" Qian Mingduo said.

"Really?" Liu Jingxue said softly, "You were the one who put me in this position, what else can I do?"

"Don't you think I look like a father helping his daughter pee?" Qian Mingduo slowly lifted Liu Jingxue's legs. "It looks more like that this way."

"Your Highness, are you joking with me? Or are you bullying a disabled person?" Liu Jingxue said indifferently.

"What do you think?" Qian Mingduo leaned close to Liu Jingxue's ear and bit her earlobe.

"Alas!" Liu Jingxue sighed, "How could I know someone like His Highness..."

"Rogue, hooligan... or rascal?" Qian Mingduo put down Liu Jingxue's legs and slowly stroked her abdomen with his hands.

"Did you take this sedan chair when you went to the Princess's Mansion last night?" Qian Mingduo's mouth and hands were busy, kissing and touching Liu Jingxue here and there.

"What else does your highness know?"

"I also know that I am no longer the noble fifth prince, so you are now with a criminal of the imperial court." Qian Mingduo paused for a moment, "Aren't you afraid of being implicated?"

Liu Jingxue smiled lightly, "I'm just afraid that His Highness will bully me, as for being implicated... a woman like me, why would I be implicated?"

The sedan slowly landed on the ground, and when the footsteps of the sedan bearer faded away, the curtain of the sedan was opened, and Qian Mingduo walked out of the sedan holding Liu Jingxue.
