Wu Qing felt sore all over and she really didn't get enough sleep. Although Yong Si followed her in, before he could tease her, he saw her trying hard not to yawn, with tears in her eyes.

Yong Si saw the teasing smile and said, "Really, you've worked hard—" There was something else behind the words.

In the palace fighting drama I watched before, there was a concubine who accompanied the emperor the night before, and the next day the other concubines said, "Thank you for your hard work, sister/sister." It was so sarcastic and classic.

When Wu Qing thought of this, she and Yongsi burst into laughter.

Yong Si smiled enough, "You look so sleepy, take a rest! Don't worry and sleep, I'm here."

Before Wu Qing could even say thank you, the person had already left. He really came and went like the wind.

Wu Qing felt like she had slept through the night. When she heard someone calling her, she dazedly opened her eyes and looked at the light in the tent. She felt a little lost as to what day it was. She asked, "Cui'er, is it dawn now? How long have I slept?"

He Cui chuckled, "I just brought back dinner, how come it's already dawn? Sister must have fallen asleep."

Wu Qing was stunned for a moment before regaining consciousness. "Aren't we on our way to the autumn hunt? Are we there yet?"

He Cui set the table for dinner and replied, "Word has been passed down that it rained heavily yesterday and the road ahead is muddy and difficult to travel. We should wait a day before setting off."

Thinking of last night's heavy rain and the scenes of the previous night, Wu Qing smiled and shook her head. She remembered the surprise on Helian Han's icy face. As a prince, he probably never thought that a woman could be so disobedient and arrogant in front of him!

I don't know what got into me, but I had to have the final say, using both soft and hard tactics to get the upper hand... It's so ridiculous it's funny.

If I come out of bed now, I’m afraid that I’ve made a big fuss. I feel like a weakling, and my hands and feet are sore.

Wu Qing laughed at her own poor physical condition.

He Cui saw that dinner was ready, but Wu Qing was still laughing to herself with a blank look in her eyes.

He walked over and took a wet towel to clean Wu Qing's hands, and asked, "Sister, what happened? Did you fall asleep while sitting?"

Wu Qing looked up and met He Cui's worried gaze. She was thinking about how to explain this when she suddenly heard voices outside the tent. After all, it was a tent, so the soundproofing was really amazing.

I was inspired to say, "Your Highness, no matter who you meet, there can be no secrets. I'm afraid whatever is said in the tent will be so close that the tent can hear it."

He Cui: "Sister, what are you thinking? Other people's tents were not set up next to His Highness. They are too far away and can't hear anything. Only our tent is close."

Wu Qing: "Oh!" I didn't expect that I was the special one. This feeling is so great!

Although her hands and feet were weak, she could not contain her enthusiasm. After dinner, Wu Qing folded a few windmills with dyed paper, waved them in her hands, and the windmills suddenly started to turn.

He Cui stared at it with wide eyes, "Sister, what a clever idea..." Before she could finish her words, Yong Si appeared again, took the windmill and asked, "How does it turn?"

A curious baby look.

Wu Qing blew hard on one of the windmills in her hand, and the windmill also started to turn. "As long as there is wind, it's fine."

Yongsi took it and turned to leave.

Wu Qing hurriedly stopped him, "Wait a minute, that's a gift I want to give to His Highness..." She originally wanted to say, don't let anyone see it, leave it as a surprise for His Highness.

But Yongsi put it down immediately, as if his hand had been burned by a windmill. "For my lover? I won't move."

Wu Qing was touched by her reaction. "It's not a precious thing. Just don't take it out to show His Highness. Go play with it yourself."

"Then teach me!" Yongsi's eyes flashed with the light of a child seeing candy.

"Didn't you see when I was making it just now?" Wu Qing made another one while she was talking.

"It was far away, so I couldn't see clearly." There was a hint of grievance in Yongsi's tone.

When Wu Qing saw Yongsi's look, she felt amused. How could he be so fierce and cute at the same time?

Yongsi put the windmill in her hand back, thinking that Wu Qing didn't want her to play with it.

Wu Qing handed them to Yong Hui and said, "I'll give you two. One to play with, and one to tear apart."

"Okay!" Yongsi immediately became happy again, agreed and left in a hurry.

He Cui had a question that had been on her mind for a long time, so she whispered to Wu Qing, "Sister, guess where is Miss Yongsi hiding?"

She didn't know. Wu Qing shook her head, "I can't guess. I know the palace so well, but I can't figure it out, let alone in this tent. I can't see where someone could be hiding."

He Cui didn't give up and continued to ask: "If I say something bad about her now, can she hear it?"

Wu Qing suppressed her laughter and nodded, "Just tell me what you think!"

He Cui didn't understand, "Sister, are you saying she can't hear?"

Wu Qing couldn't help laughing and waved her hands, "No, I asked you to tell her because I thought she would definitely hear it."

He Cui: “Ah?” My sister actually hurt people.

Wu Qing laughed and slammed the table, "I'm prepared now. If you tell me she'll come out, I might be able to find where she's hiding."

He Cui finally understood, "Sister, are you going to sell Cui Er?!"

Someone was talking outside the tent again. Wu Qing was used to it, but this voice... was the Grand Tutor!

The Grand Tutor went to see Helian Han again. Was he talking about capturing the soul from another world?

Wu Qing stopped talking immediately and put a finger between her lips to silence He Cui.

She wanted to listen carefully to see if she could hear a word, but unfortunately when she heard it, the person had already walked towards Helian Han's tent, getting farther and farther away from here, and she couldn't hear anything clearly.

Suddenly, an idea came to his mind. He decided to send the gift later and find a chance to stay overnight at Helian Han's place. On the one hand, he wanted to continue eating meat, and on the other hand, he wanted to see if he could get some information out of him.

Just when I thought of this, I felt deflated again. Then Helian Han asked, and I realized that I was really overthinking it.

Seeing the windmill at hand, she didn't think much about it and picked up one and went out of her tent, wanting to eavesdrop.

Sure enough, someone stopped her when she was still far away from Helian Han's tent.

A guard blocked their way with his hand, "His Highness is in the tent holding a meeting."

"Then, can I wait here?" Wu Qing asked carefully in a low voice.

The guard didn't say yes or no, he just stood there quietly.

Wu Qing walked a few steps to the side, and the guards ignored her. She tried to walk further away and go around behind the guards, but a guard coming from the other direction stretched out his hand to stop her.

It seemed that she couldn't get any closer, so she planned to find a corner and stay in the dark to see if she could hear anything when the person came out.

Wu Qing turned around and found that her tent was indeed the closest to Helian Han's main tent.

Go back to the tent or stand in the corner outside the tent?
