Come on, Jiaojiao, I'm sick too.

Lu Heng: “…”

No, you still despise me...

After eating and drinking her fill, Wen Yuqing followed the system's instructions and came to another hidden back door of the restaurant. This was where Xiao Juncheng entered and exited Qianji Restaurant.

The door here leads to an alley behind the restaurant. Wen Yuqing took Xiao Tao and wandered around nearby, waiting for Xiao Juncheng to come out.

When Xiao Juncheng and Lu Heng left the box, they glanced at the second floor opposite, but they were no longer there.

Lu Heng secretly observed his cousin, the Crown Prince's every move. Tsk tsk tsk, it's been a long time since he paid so much attention to someone. Something's going on...

But it's a pity that the girl is no longer in that position. Otherwise, as her cousin, he would have the nerve to ask about the girl's name. His reputation is not that good anyway.

As soon as Xiao Juncheng left the restaurant, a carriage was waiting there.

"Goodbye, say hello to my aunt for me." Lu Heng waved goodbye.

"Yeah." The man got on the carriage.

Wen Yuqing, who had been paying attention to the situation here, seized the opportunity and rushed out when the carriage passed by the alley where she was.

Xiao Tao was stunned. No, her young lady was actually trying to scam people?

No, that's not the point...

"Miss!" She immediately chased after him.

"Hiss~" The coachman looked at the person who suddenly rushed out and immediately stopped the running horse, stopping just one foot away from Wen Yuqing.

Wen Yuqing's face turned pale instantly when she looked at the tall horse in front of her. She took a few steps back and then fell to the ground.

"Miss, are you okay?" Xiao Tao walked forward with a worried look on her face to check on her young lady. At this time, Wen Yuqing's face was pale. Oh no, she had hit her head too hard. Her young lady didn't seem to be in good condition.

At this time, Xiao Juncheng's voice came from the carriage: "What's going on?"

"Young Master, a girl suddenly rushed out." The driver was the eunuch serving Xiao Juncheng, and his forehead was covered with sweat.

"Go down and take a look." Xiao Juncheng said coldly.

"Yes."

Wen Yuqing fell to the ground. Affected by this body, her heartbeat accelerated and her face turned pale. She looked frightened.

She held Xiaotao's hand: "Don't worry, I'm fine."

But just after she finished speaking, she started coughing violently: "Cough cough cough..."

"Miss..." Xiao Tao was almost scared to tears. She didn't understand why her young lady suddenly came out to commit fraud.

At this time, the young eunuch Yuanfu had come to Wen Yuqing's side: "My lady, are you okay?"

"Xiao Tao, I think I twisted my ankle." She moved her ankle and found that it was really twisted.

Xiao Tao understood what he said and said, "My young lady has twisted her foot. Please find a carriage to take her home."

Although she didn't know why her young lady was committing fraud, as the most loyal maid, Xiaotao unconditionally supported all of her young lady's actions.

"Okay, please wait a moment, ladies. I'll go back and ask my young master for instructions." He took one last look at the girls on the ground and felt something was wrong.

Yuanfu returned to the carriage and said to his Highness, "Master, that young lady said she twisted her foot and needs a carriage to take them back."

A gloomy look flashed across Xiao Juncheng's face in the carriage. This was obviously a premeditated scam, and his whereabouts were exposed.

"Please ask them to come up." It was just as she wished.

Yuan Fu was stunned for a moment when he heard the Crown Prince's order, then he went to invite the people over and said, "Ladies, if you don't mind, you can take our young master's carriage. I will take you home."

I just don't know if they can escape alive. If they have evil intentions, then with His Royal Highness's methods, what awaits them will be endless hell...

Having achieved her goal, Wen Yuqing breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, she had no idea whether she could meet Xiao Juncheng.

But he should treat her as an assassin, and he is definitely capable of killing her if she does anything wrong.

But unfortunately, she didn't.

She supported Xiao Tao's hand and managed to stand up: "Thank you very much, sir. I'm sorry for the trouble."

"Girl please."

Yuanfu lifted the curtain of the carriage, and Wen Yuqing limped to the front of the carriage. She looked up into the carriage and could only vaguely see Xiao Juncheng's two long legs.

Xiao Tao helped her young lady get on the carriage. She didn't know which young man was worthy of her young lady's trouble and the cost of spraining her foot to commit fraud.

"Sir, I'm sorry to bother you. I really didn't see the road conditions clearly..." Wen Yuqing said with her head down.

At this time, Xiao Juncheng had already put on a mask. When he saw Wen Yuqing appear in front of him, a dark light flashed in his eyes. It was actually her.

The person he just noticed in the restaurant made him more certain of what he was thinking. This person might have been targeting him for a long time.

Wen Yuqing looked at the masked man in front of her with some regret. Why was he still wearing a mask? She couldn't even see his face clearly.

Xiao Juncheng remained silent, waiting to see what her purpose was.

The woman in front of him had a pretty face, but her face was a little pale at the moment, as if she was frightened by what had just happened. However, only she herself knew how true her face was.

However, he could feel that the other party had no internal force fluctuations. Either this person's martial arts skills were superior to his and he could not detect it, or he really was just a person who did not know martial arts.

However, there were few people in this world with inner strength greater than his, and he had never heard of a woman whose martial arts skills were more powerful than his...

Suddenly, Yuanfu outside asked, "Ladies, where are you going?"

He didn't know where to send the person.

"Just send her to Qingshi Lane." It was only two blocks away from the Prime Minister's Mansion, and she could go back with a human-shaped crutch.

In the bluestone alley, Xiao Juncheng narrowed his eyes slightly. It was very close to the residence of the officials and ministers...

Wen Yuqing withdrew her gaze after saying this, her heart beating as she wondered how she was going to attract Xiao Juncheng's attention...

Forget it, she should take the initiative. How could he, the high and mighty Crown Prince, take the initiative to pay attention to her!

"What is this gentleman's name?"

Wen Yuqing didn't know that the man had noticed her in the restaurant a long time ago. She thought this was the first time they met. Little did she know that in Xiao Juncheng's eyes, she was a person who approached him with a special purpose.

Xiao Juncheng remained silent until Wen Yuqing thought he wouldn't answer, when she suddenly heard two words: "Lu Heng."

Wen Yuqing: “???”

Lu Heng?

If she didn't know his true identity, she would have almost believed it!

"Mr. Lu..."

"Thank you, Mr. Lu, for sending me off. I'm really sorry for disturbing you today." She said softly with a weak face. An ordinary man would definitely be attracted by her gentle and considerate look, but Xiao Juncheng only responded faintly.

I think she is really patient. Did she deliberately try to scam him just to "meet" him by chance?

But how did his whereabouts get leaked? This was what puzzled him.

But we'll know after we ask the Shadow Guard to check...

Wen Yuqing took the initiative to bring up the topic several times, but it only ended with Xiao Juncheng's silence. No matter how lively and cheerful she was, she would get tired of performing a solo show for a long time. Not to mention that he looked at her with a look that said, "You are too noisy..."

Helplessly, Wen Yuqing shut up after introducing her name.

Soon, the carriage arrived at Qingshi Lane and Wen Yuqing had to get off.

"Goodbye, Mr. Lu."

Xiao Juncheng narrowed his eyes upon hearing this. Goodbye? How could a woman say goodbye to a strange man? It was so rude!

So his dark eyes darkened and he remained silent.

Seeing that he still ignored her, Wen Yuqing turned around and rolled her eyes. What a rude guy! Is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince so arrogant?

"Go slowly, young lady." Yuan Fu was sweating profusely. This girl actually rolled her eyes at his prince. Although she did it behind his prince's back, he saw it!

This girl is so bold!

After Wen Yuqing left, Yuanfu climbed back into the carriage and prepared to drive back to the palace, but at this moment, Xiao Juncheng's voice came faintly from the carriage. He asked, "What did she do just now?"

Yuan Fu: "......"

"Reporting to Your Highness, Miss Yuqing...she rolled her eyes..." Yuanfu did not dare to lie.

Xiao Juncheng's hand on his knee moved, and after a long moment he said, "Go check it out."

The order fell with the wind, and a trace of internal force fluctuation flashed in the air. Yuanfu lowered his head. He knew that the prince was not talking to him. He was just a little eunuch serving the Crown Prince.

On the other side, Wen Yuqing went home carrying sugar cakes, her face full of solemnity. Although she met Xiao Juncheng during her outing, she didn't even see his face. Moreover, under the strict hierarchical rule of this feudal dynasty, it was difficult for her to carry out the strategy mission. Just like today, Xiao Juncheng didn't even look at her straight in the eye, and it was a good thing that he didn't pursue her for hitting her.

Alas, it’s difficult, very difficult!

As soon as she stepped into the house, she met her elder brother, the eldest son of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Wen Yuqing was a little surprised when she saw him. Why was he here?

"Where did you go?" Wen Huai asked in a deep voice.

I heard that she was put in solitary confinement by her father for three months, and now she is out fooling around. She doesn't look like a lady from a noble family at all!

Wen Yuqing frowned unhappily when she heard his questioning tone. Did she need to report to him where she was going? He was not her father!

"Go to the street." Wen Yuqing replied indifferently.

"Is this how you treat your brother?"

Wen Yuqing: “???”

This guy is crazy, she really admires him. When the original owner was here, none of them cared about her one by one. Now that she is here, they all rush to cause trouble for her, right?

She just wanted to live the same insignificant life as before.

"Master, the young lady just twisted her ankle, so she might be in a bad mood right now..." Xiao Tao spoke up for her young lady.

Wen Huai was stunned when he heard this, and then his eyes fell on her foot. Twisted it?

"I'm fine. Brother, if there's nothing else, I'll go pay my respects to my grandmother first." Wen Yuqing bowed and took her leave. She was speechless. This person came to question her as soon as he appeared. She hated people like this the most.

"You..." Wen Huai's face darkened. She had originally wanted to ask the court doctor to check her out, but now who was she showing her stern face to?

And when did she become so tough? Didn’t she look like a frightened little rabbit when she saw him before?

Wen Huai thought with a serious face, then followed with big strides. It had been a long time since he had paid his respects to his grandmother.

Wen Yuqing arrived at the old lady's residence and wiped away her unhappy expression: "Grandma, I bought the sugar cakes you like."

"Okay, bring it here and let's try it together." The old lady got up from the recliner.

"Grandma, this sugar cake smells so good." Wen Yuqing placed the sugar cake on the table, picked up a piece and handed it to the old lady's mouth: "Grandma, please try it."

"Okay." The old lady took a sip. It was sweet, just the same taste as she remembered.

"Grandma, Huai'er pays his respects to you." As soon as Wen Huai came in, he saw Wen Yuqing's attentive look, and his fist that was clenched in salute unconsciously tightened.

"Get up." The old lady only glanced at her eldest grandson and then looked away, and continued to eat the sugar cake handed to her by Wen Yuqing.

"Grandma, are you feeling well lately?" Wen Huai asked, but his eyes fell on Wen Yuqing beside him.

Wen Yuqing ate the sugar cake by herself and ignored him, feeling that he paid too much attention to her today.

In this world, apart from Xiao Juncheng, there is no man who needs her to waste her energy. She is just here to complete the mission. As for her relatives, she will be nicer to whoever treats her well, and it is best for others not to get involved.

Xiao Juncheng alone is annoying enough, and if she has to deal with these scumbag fathers and stupid brothers, she will be very tired.

"It's fine. You don't have to worry about Qing'er being here. Just go about your business." To her, grandsons are just the continuation of the family line, while granddaughters are her little cotton-padded jackets.

Wen Huai knew that his grandmother had liked this half-sister since childhood, so he didn't think too much about it. He was more concerned about the different treatment of Wen Yuqing. Why did she act so obedient and soft towards the old lady, but so timid towards their brothers, and now she ignored him.

Obviously, it wasn't like this when they were children. Wen Yuqing was so cute when she was little and would call him "big brother" in a soft and sweet voice, but they didn't know when they started to become distant from each other.

Is it because they were too busy with their studies and neglected her...

"Grandma, Qing'er is a little tired and wants to go back and rest first." Wen Yuqing said tiredly.

"Have a good rest." The old lady patted the back of Wen Yuqing's hand. The child was weak and it was indeed time for him to have a good rest after going out.

"Brother, I'll go back first." Wen Yuqing said reluctantly.

"...Yeah." Seeing her reluctant look, Wen Huai clenched his palms again.

Wen Yuqing didn't care about all that. She just left after greeting her. She was a little disappointed that she didn't see Xiao Juncheng's true face today.

Hey ~

Wen Huai: Why is she sighing? Is she so reluctant to see him?

Meanwhile, Xiao Juncheng returned to the East Palace. The shadow guard also returned with the news that the concubine of the Prime Minister's mansion...

Could it be that everything that happened today was instigated by Prince Duan and the Prime Minister? However, Prince Duan could not have known his whereabouts.

Is it all just a coincidence...

Her pale face without a trace of redness today unconsciously appeared in my mind. She seemed to have caught a cold, and there was often a slight cough in the carriage.

He looked sick, but he had the guts to come out and commit fraud.

"Master, do we need to continue keeping an eye on Miss Wen?" Ying Yi asked. It would be better for the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion to be cautious.
