Chapter 73 - Rumours
When Chu Yin knocked on the door, because he was too focused, he did not hear it. He was worried about Wei Qing, so he pushed open the door and entered.
He saw her concentrating on drawing and slowly walked forward.
His gaze fell on the painting, and he frowned. ”This is the eye of the person who kidnapped you?”
”You … ”It scared me to death.”
”Is that so?” Chu Yin's thoughts were all on the drawing.
Wei Qing nodded, ”These eyes are probably the most chilling and most complicated eyes I have ever seen.”
”So, what do I look like?” Chu Yin suddenly grabbed her shoulders and asked.
Wei Qing's eyes flickered, looking straight into his deep pupils.
What was he like?
Wei Qing didn't know what to say for a moment. His gaze was clearly complicated, as if it carried many many secrets that he did not know of. However, when he faced her, he found it hard to control the warmth that appeared in his eyes.
”I don't know!”
This answer caused Chu Yin to be somewhat baffled.
”Why not?”
”I just don't know.” Wei Qing brushed away his hands, ”I still need to continue drawing.”
He looked at her deeply for a moment.
In the recent period of interaction, he could feel that Wei Qing seemed to have a good impression of him, but this good impression was often suppressed.
He was not sure if it was because she was still in Princess Chu!
Thinking about how Xiao Qingqian was so cold to her, and how he did not even know how to cherish her, it was as if a ball of fire was burning in his heart, growing stronger and stronger.
”Then feel free to draw. After you're done, I'll have the dark guards investigate.” He suppressed the disappointment in his heart and tried to sound normal.
Wei Qing did not even raise her head, she only replied with an ”En”.

Crown Prince's Palace.
As Xiao Hanqi listened to the secret guard's report, the corner of his mouth hooked up sinisterly.
”I haven't found Wei Qing's location in such a long time. It looks like I'll have to make good use of this matter!”
”Has the crown prince already decided on something?”
The smile on Xiao Hanqi's face became wider.
Wei Qing was the Prime Minister Wei's most treasured treasure. If one knew that Wei Qing's whereabouts were unknown because of Tian Sisi, they would definitely go to the Prince Chu’s Mansion to denounce her.
No matter what kind of weight Wei Qing occupied in Xiao Qingqian's heart, for a stately Duke to be able to accept a girl from a brothel as his concubine, was enough to start an incident from scratch.
Furthermore, the position of the Prime Minister Wei's family in the imperial court was extremely delicate. With their talents, even if they could not persuade the Prime Minister Wei to support them, they would definitely not allow Xiao Qingqian to take advantage of them.
”Come here!” Xiao Hanqi gestured for the secret guard to come closer and whispered a few words.
Very quickly, rumors arose all over the capital, saying that the reason Wei Qing's whereabouts were unknown was entirely because concubine was jealous in her heart!
Die'er heard these rumors, and thought about how she had not found Wei Qing in such a long time. She was extremely angry, and charged into Prince Chu’s Mansion without any hesitation.
He went straight to Tian Sisi's hall, and the anger in between his brows shocked everyone.
With a ”peng” sound, Die'er kicked open the door, causing Tian Sisi who was playing the zither to be stunned.
