Saying that, he called out to the outside, ”Manqing!”
Su Yuqing was stunned on the spot, thinking about what Jing Jing meant.
She originally regarded Jingjing as her idol, and now, hearing her say this, her heart was exceptionally moved.
His pale face turned red again.
In a moment, Manqing opened the curtain and walked in. She looked at Su Yuqing with surprise and said to Jingjing: ”Miss, everything is ready. Have you washed up yet?”
Jingjing shook her head and said, ”We'll talk about this later, go help me inform the prince that I have something to discuss with him, and ask him to leave the palace later!”
Manqing said, ”Miss still doesn't know? His Royal Highness didn't return home last night. ”Someone from the palace said that the prince was drunk in the palace last night, so he decided to stay.”
”Lodging?” Jing Jing held her head in frustration, and fell behind the bed, ”If I had known, I wouldn't have been up so early.”
When Su Yuqing saw that the grand Ninth Princess looked like this, she looked even more approachable than she had expected. Her face was flushed red with excitement.
Jing Jing stayed in bed for a while longer, then said to Man Qing, ”Since I'm awake, I might as well wake up!”
He got up and looked at Su Yuqing who was still wearing the same clothes as last night and asked, ”Why don't you change your clothes? Did you not bring enough? ”
As he finished, he walked barefoot onto the carpet, took off his clothes from the beauty screen, and put them on without a care in the world.
He took a cup of warm water from the maidservant carrying the toiletries and drank it up before washing his face and rinsing his mouth.
Within the palace of the Western Regions.
After a long conversation between Li Yue and the Western Region King, they finally got to the point where the Western Region King did not allow them to pass.
Li Yue got on the carriage and said to the taciturn Manager Zheng, ”You must be more alert in the near future. There was a message from the Central Plains that Nangong Xiu had left for the Western Regions for a few days. He should be arriving in the next two days … This time, his goal is not simple. ”
Even though Manager Zheng was sitting in the carriage as a servant, he wasn't the least bit reserved.
He only looked at Li Yue respectfully and asked, ”Do you have an even more complicated goal?”
Saying this, his eyebrows knitted together as he said, ”He has successfully stolen the Heavenly Book of the house, is there an even more complex reason? Besides... Does he dare to come? ”
Li Yue's haggard face was serious as he said, ”Of course he dares. What does he not dare to do?”
Li Yue pondered for a moment and said, ”His goal this time is to snatch the missing page of the Wordless Book.”
Manager Zheng's expression changed as he looked at Li Yue and said seriously, ”The Wordless Heavenly Book is a strange rune, how can he understand it? How do you know a page is missing? ”
Li Yue shook his head and said, ”I find it strange that when Nangong Xiu left the capital, there were reports from the stalls. They found out that there was still a 'crown prince' in the mansion, but … The original owner of the voice was, without a doubt, Nangong Xiu. ”How strange …”
There was silence in the carriage. After a while, Nangong Xiu said in a serious tone, ”Send someone over to the capital to investigate the situation.” If... Since that Nangong Xiu from the crown prince's residence had been faked, then … We have to capture him in the Western Regions. ”
He paused for a moment before continuing, ”There is also Nangong Xiu's crown prince's mansion. I keep having the feeling that she is not simple. I want to make a thorough investigation!”
Manager Zheng nodded. ”Do not worry, Your Highness.”
Li Yue's eyes narrowed, and a cold light shot out from his eyes …
However, he did not know that just when he was about to capture Nangong Xiu in the Western Regions and send people to investigate Bing Ying and the ”fake crown prince”, Nangong Xiu had already snuck into the Western Regions and into the Ninth Prince's Mansion …
As for the so-called Nangong Xiu who was being observed by others, he was also a fake Nangong Xiu.
Of course, she didn't know.
A group of people sneaked into the capital to investigate Bing Ying and the ”fake crown prince”, while another group was sent by Bing Ying to the Western Regions to investigate Jing Jing …
In addition, there was Nangong Xiu and the group of people that pretended to be him.
He didn't know who would be the first to succeed and who … He would fail again.
When they met... What then?
Such a bunch of questions and unknown people, yet they weren't alerted at all …
Nangong Xiu stood at the city gate and muttered, ”Western Regions, I'm back!”
No one could imagine what kind of method he would use to enter the western region and enter the Ninth Prince's Mansion.
Ninth Prince's Mansion, within the garden.
Jing Jing sat here, listening to the servant's report that Li Yue had returned home.
She, who had been in low spirits and was drinking porridge water, became energetic. She brought Man Qing and Su Yuqing to Li Yue's yard.
Ben had intended to match them, and it was good to have her by his side.
He then said, ”Follow me!”
He didn't want her to get close to him, so he didn't get tangled up with her and lost his body.
Furthermore, he would not allow Ling'er to take advantage of this situation and ruin his plans.
Su Yuqing's head drooped down. She looked at Jingjing and said, ”But … ”I, I don't have any clothes …”
Jing Jing looked at the embarrassment on her face as she lowered her head. She recalled that she was wearing the same outfit as yesterday.
Ye Zichen frowned and said, ”Hurry up and go change it. Go over again.”
Her head was lowered even further and her voice sounded like a mosquito. ”I only have two sets of clothes that can be used to look at people. One set is turmeric … ”Yesterday was bad. There was also this kind of thing, I …”
Jing Jing lightly sighed and said, ”Go to my closet and choose my clothes.”
Anyway, when she got married, she married countless clothes.
After entering the Prince's Mansion, he made a lot of clothes as well, leaving Yue with a lot of money.
Adding on the rewards from the Western Region King, there were countless of them. Even if Jingjing changed into a new set every day, it was simply impossible to wear them all.
