The hero fell for the cannon fodder maid.

He Jingming's face became gloomy for as long as the brother and sister talked.

The two of them ignored him as if no one was around. It would have been fine if Xiao Lingqing had ignored him, but why did Yue'er do the same?

Xiao Lingqing and Xiao Wanyue were reminiscing about the past.

Xiao Lingqing: "Yue'er, do you still remember what happened when you were six years old? It really hurt me. Daddy beat me up and it took me half a month to recover. My butt was bruised."

Xiao Wanyue felt a little guilty about this incident. She remembered that she went to her father's study and broke something very important, but she was afraid of being beaten, so she tricked him into coming in and ran away. When her father returned to the study, he found her brother inside.

Her brother was beaten up. Fortunately, her brother did not give her up, otherwise she would definitely be beaten too.

Xiao Wanyue: "Brother, I went too far. If I had told Dad, you wouldn't have been beaten. If something like this happens again in the future, I'll take the blame for you."

Xiao Lingqing: "You are still the same as when you were little. If your brother makes a mistake in the future, you have to help me bear the consequences."

Xiao Wanyue: "I know. Oh, by the way, brother, why are you here? Is there something wrong?"

Xiao Lingqing lowered his head and took the roasted lamb off the skewer and placed it on Xiao Wanyue's plate.

"Yue'er, eat quickly."

Xiao Wanyue: "Well, thank you, brother."

Her brother was so thoughtful that he took the mutton and put it on his own plate. Her sister-in-law will be very lucky from now on.

He Jingming was so angry that he was about to burst into flames. This Xiao Lingqing was going too far. He was not willing to be outdone. He took the mutton off and put it to Xiao Wanyue's lips with chopsticks. Xiao Wanyue looked at the thing at her mouth and ate it subconsciously. The main reason was that she had recently gotten used to He Jingming feeding her. She could eat all kinds of fruits and delicacies without doing anything.

Only after she put the food in her mouth did she realize that it was He Jingming who gave it to her. She didn't know whether to spit it out or swallow it. Mainly because they were both looking at her, she didn't know how to react. She just felt embarrassed and blushed.

Xiao Wanyue finally endured the embarrassment and ate the barbecue in her mouth, because He Jingming's eyes told her that if she didn't eat it, he would find a way to make her eat it.

Xiao Lingqing was shocked. His sister listened to the emperor so much. What was going on? Although he had accepted that his sister had some relationship with the emperor, the scene before him really scared him. Had their relationship reached a point where it was out of control?

Xiao Lingqing: "Yue'er, what is your relationship with Mr. Zhao?"

He looked at Xiao Wanyue, hoping not to hear anything he didn't want to hear.

He Jingming heard Xiao Lingqing ask Xiao Wanyue and wanted to see how she would answer.

Under the gaze of the two, Xiao Wanyue said, "We are fine, we are just friends, don't think too much, brother, haha."

Xiao Lingqing: "That's good, but you should also be careful about the limits, after all, there are differences between men and women."

Xiao Wanyue: "I understand, brother."

I wonder what her brother would think if he knew that she lived with He Jingming.

He Jingming's expression was not so good, his mind was full of the words: "We have nothing to do with each other"

How can they have no relationship? They are going to get married and stay together for life, how can they have no relationship? Even if they have no relationship, he will make them have a relationship.

Xiao Wanyue ate the meat in her mouth and stopped talking. She ate the barbecue on the plate obediently. The taste was really good and unique. It would have been better if these two people were not around her.

He Jingming: "Mr. Xiao, you haven't told me why you came here?"

Xiao Wanyue also raised her head. Yes, why was her brother here?

Xiao Lingqing: "I was looking for my sister. I went to many places north and south of the Yangtze River. Finally, I heard about you, Yue'er, from a maid. I went to Yunzhou, but unfortunately I couldn't find any trace of you in Yunzhou. I heard from the villagers that you had left Liujia Village in advance. I followed the trail and lost it in the Cangzhou area. Then I remembered that a group of people had come to Liujia Village before, and he had seen them. I had some suspicions in my heart, but they were never confirmed. I had no choice but to return to the capital, thinking that I would try my luck. I didn't expect to meet you here."

Xiao Wanyue didn't expect that Xiao Lingqing was here just to look for her, and she felt indescribably touched.

It seems that Xiao Lingqing should have arrived at Liujia Village after them and just missed them. Later, they were delayed for two days because of the Qingluan Village incident. Only then did they realize that Xiao Lingqing had caught up with them. They were exhausted and just happened to rest in this inn.

There are always so many coincidences in the world, and people who are destined to meet will always meet.

After eating the barbecue, she no longer had the desire to go shopping, so she asked He Jingming to give her some money and left with her people.

The barbecue man was very happy. His work today was not in vain. This solved his urgent problem. He was waiting for the money to buy medicine. His sworn brother was saved.

Xiao Wanyue was walking on the street without any interest. Xiao Lingqing looked at the things on the street and wanted to buy something for Xiao Wanyue. However, he was a little confused by his sister's unwillingness to buy anything.

Doesn’t my sister like to buy some strange things when she goes shopping?

However, he still bought some exquisite and small items, including the herbs that she was most interested in. Although this market is small, the things there are not so ordinary, and this requires people who know the goods to appreciate them.

Xiao Wanyue's eyes lit up when she saw the stalls selling medicinal herbs. She took a fancy to several medicinal herbs, and they were all bought by Xiao Lingqing and He Jingming. This trip was worthwhile.

Back at the inn, the problem arose. What should she do now? She lived with He Jingming, and if they went in together, they would definitely be suspected, but she really didn't want others to know about their relationship.

What should she do? She wanted to scratch her head. What should she do?

Fortunately, the appearance of a person broke the awkward situation.

She didn't know this person, but when he saw He Jingming and Xiao Lingqing, he looked a little shocked. Could this person be another acquaintance of theirs?

really.

As soon as Zhao Jingzhi saw them, he stepped forward and saluted, saying, "Greetings, big brother, Prince Xiao."

He Jingming: "No need to be so polite, brother."

He Jingming turned to Xiao Wanyue and said, "Yue'er, go back to your room and rest first. I still have some things to discuss with them."

Of course Xiao Wanyue was happy about this. This way there would be no risk of being discovered. What a good thing.

She glanced at the three of them and returned to the room with the things she bought. What she was most interested in now was looking at the herbs.

Several people sat down in a private room. Zhao Jingzhi looked a little unnatural. He didn't know how to tell his elder brother that his sister was missing.

And his fiancé was right in front of them, and he was most afraid that his eldest brother would ask him this question.

He Jingming: "Why are you here? How are things going in Beijing?"

Zhao Jingzhi: "My Royal Highness, everything is fine. However, there are a few important matters that await your attention. Many ministers have submitted petitions requesting you to marry, recommending many noble ladies from prominent families. Also, the autumn harvest is late this year, so I would like you to make the decision on how to implement this year's policies."

He Jingming frowned, then relaxed.

"I have my own decision. We'll discuss the autumn harvest tomorrow when we get back. We're all tired today, so let's go back to Beijing together tomorrow."

After saying that, he left the room and returned to his residence. When he walked in, he found that Xiao Wanyue was gone. When Xiao Lingqing was about to return to his room, he met Xiao Wanyue walking out of another room.

Xiao Lingqing said, "Let's go home together to see our parents tomorrow, okay?"

Xiao Wanyue: "Okay."

The two looked at each other and smiled, but only they themselves knew the meaning in their eyes. He Jingming saw this scene, and his heart was beating like a drum. Could it be that Yue'er didn't want him anymore?

Suddenly I felt a heart-wrenching pain.
