Quick Wear: Saving Three Thousand Matches

Jin Jiusi pulled Yun Chenyu out of the East Courtyard. The atmosphere was silent along the way. The two of them walked in silence, and no one spoke to break the strange silence.

Finally, Jin Jiusi slowly let go of Yun Chenyu's hand.

However, at the moment she let go, Yun Chenyu suddenly grabbed her hand tightly in his broad and warm palm with lightning speed.

Jin Jiusi subconsciously pulled hard twice, but Yun Chenyu's hand was as firm as an iron clamp and did not move at all.

After trying in vain, she simply gave up struggling and let Yun Chenyu lead her forward.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Jin Jiusi suddenly stopped, turned to look at Yun Chenyu, who had been keeping his head down and remained silent, and asked softly, "You've discovered my identity a long time ago, right?"

Yun Chenyu shuddered slightly upon hearing this, lowering his head, not daring to look directly into Jin Jiusi's eyes. He only saw his eyes flickering, and he nodded lightly and replied in a low voice, "Yes, Your Highness."

"Will you blame me for what I did to your mother?"

"I don't dare."

"Don't dare, or don't know how?"

"No. Even without Your Highness, I would have found a good place for my mother in the near future. It's just that with Your Highness, things have gone much more smoothly. I should thank Your Highness for resolving this difficult situation."

Hearing this answer, Jin Jiusi was stunned at first, and then a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

She looked at Yun Chenyu with great interest, a sly glint in her eyes as she teased, "Then how will you thank me, Prime Minister? Do you wish to become my mistress?"

After saying that, he deliberately shook the hand that Yun Chenyu was holding tightly.

Yun Chenyu's face flushed crimson instantly. He looked away in embarrassment and stammered, "Your Highness, I'm just... afraid that Your Highness will fall."

"Oh? You're holding my hand because you're afraid I'll fall." Jin Jiusi said, with a smile on his face that grew brighter.

Yun Chenyu seemed to say seriously: "Yes, Your Highness is right."

"Is that so... Then, Prime Minister, my feet are a little sore. Could you carry me for a while?" Yun Chenyu could clearly see the teasing in Jin Jiusi's eyes, but he still let go of her hand and squatted down in front of her.

"Your Highness, I'm sorry." He squatted down without thinking.

Looking at Yun Chenyu's broad back, Jin Jiusi's heartbeat suddenly quickened, and he felt an unprecedented attachment in his heart.

However, she quickly regained her composure and chuckled, "I was just joking with you, sir. Don't take it seriously." Then she walked forward first.

Yun Chenyu looked at her back, the emotion in his eyes gradually intensified, and he murmured: "Kechen, you are serious, Your Highness."

Jin Jiusi walked briskly, thinking that Yun Chenyu had been standing there and had not caught up yet.

Suddenly, she seemed to think of something, turned around and met Yun Chenyu's affectionate eyes.

When their eyes met, time seemed to stop.

Jin Jiusi's heart started beating suddenly, and she quickly turned her head away, her cheeks slightly red.

Yun Chenyu smiled softly, walked slowly forward, and walked side by side with Jin Jiusi.

At the post station, the North Vietnamese camp was filled with solemnity.

The Crown Prince of Beiyue sat leisurely on a tiger-skin chair, gently waving an exquisite broken jade fan in his hand, with a thoughtful look in his deep eyes.

He tilted his head slightly, looking at a subordinate standing respectfully below, and asked in a leisurely tone, "Have you found out clearly? Is Princess Laihuang really not in the palace?"

The subordinate hurriedly stepped forward, bowed, and replied respectfully, "Your Highness, I have thoroughly investigated this matter. Princess Laihuang is indeed not in the palace. Not only that, even the King and Queen of Donghua have no idea where she is."

Upon hearing this, the Crown Prince of Beiyue smiled with interest and muttered to himself, "Is this so interesting? With all the nobles from all nations gathered at this international conference, I'm sure there are many who would like to marry Princess Laihuang. At this critical juncture, the princess has mysteriously disappeared. This is truly fascinating..."

At this point, a sly glint flashed in the eyes of the Crown Prince of Beiyue. He slammed his folding fan shut, pointed at the subordinate, and ordered, "Go, spread the news of Princess Laihuang's disappearance and find something for Feng Qiansu to do. This Crown Prince wants to make this International Court Meeting even more exciting and lively!"

"Yes, I will obey your Highness's orders!"

The subordinate took the order and left. Only the Prince of North Vietnam was left in the tent. He unfolded his folding fan again and waved it gently. The smile on the corner of his mouth became more creepy.

He just couldn't believe that an emperor who cared about the reputation of the royal family would not marry a princess who was plagued by rumors to this prince.

Soon, the news of Princess Laihuang's disappearance spread throughout Donghua Kingdom, and the entire imperial city was in an uproar.

Even in the post station, nobles from various countries were speculating about the whereabouts of Princess Laihuang. Some said she was kidnapped, while others said she eloped. All kinds of rumors were flying around.

When Feng Qiansu heard the news, veins popped up on his forehead. In a rage, he grabbed the priceless and exquisite tea set beside him and smashed it to the ground.

There was a series of sharp and crisp cracking sounds, and those extremely precious tea sets instantly turned into countless pieces and scattered all over the ground.

Qi Lingyue, who was standing nearby, witnessed this scene and was stunned.

When she realized what was happening, her heart ached so much that it almost bled.

Her eyes widened as she stared at the debris scattered across the floor. Her voice became sharp with extreme irritation. "Feng Qiansu, are you sick? This tea set was specially presented by another country two years ago. Do you know how expensive it is?"

As she spoke, she felt her vision go dark, and she felt dizzy and almost couldn't stand.

I couldn't help but curse in my heart: What a spendthrift, this guy is simply an out and out spendthrift!!!

Who the hell is causing all this trouble? If I catch you, I’ll skin you alive!

Feng Qiansu's face was filled with guilt at this moment. He stammered, "Yue'er, I'm sorry... I'm really furious. Rumors are flying everywhere, and Xiaojiu is nowhere to be found..."

Before he could finish, Qi Lingyue interrupted him impatiently: "Xiao Jiu said she would be back on the day of the court meeting. We just need to wait patiently. By the way, let's find out who leaked the news of Xiao Jiu leaving the palace."

"Yes, Yue'er is right." Feng Qiansu calmed down and immediately called An Xi, asking him to quickly investigate the source of the rumor.

An Xi took the order and left, and Feng Qiansu also let out a breath.

Qi Lingyue looked at him and rolled her eyes without any concealment, completely lacking the dignity and decorum that an emperor or empress should have.

In front of everyone, the two of them displayed the dignity and demeanor of emperor and empress, and performed their duties impeccably.

However, when no one is around, this extremely noble emperor and empress will take off their heavy masks and return to their ordinary and real appearance as a couple.
