Chapter: 113 out of 513 - The culprit can't be found (2)

Errong watched over Sangyu while she slept. Today, they would disembark in Qin Province during lunchtime. Marquis Moyu hadn't sent anyone to call Sangyu over and had only ordered Gancao and Dengxin to deliver food.

Gancao rubbed her head as she placed the dishes down on the table. She quietly mumbled, ”Did I have a nightmare last night? I had a huge b.u.mp on my head when I woke up.”

Because Nie Sangyu was sick, Dengxin originally had an anxious expression. But, hearing these words, she couldn't resist turning around and laughing. ”You were definitely sleepwalking. Otherwise, how could you have ended up in our master's bed?”

Gancao hurriedly waved her hands. Looking at the nearby Ning Errong, she whispered, ”Young Miss, please don't tell my master about this. This servant was deeply asleep last night and shouldn't have sleepwalked, ah. But, when this servant woke up today, this servant was in my master's bed and my master had gone to your room.”

Ning Errong tilted her head and doubtfully looked at Gancao. However, since Sangyu trusted these two people, she only said, ”It's fine. Perhaps, it really was just sleepwalking.

Gancao relaxed. Although her master was generous and probably wouldn't get mad at her, it would be bad if someone else found out. After all, it was very improper for a servant girl to sleep in her master's bed.

The emperor had lunch with his relatives and important officials at a building that was facing the water.

The crown prince was sitting at the same table as Marquis Moyu. Seeing that the spot next to Ning Yuxuan was empty, he asked with a smile, ”Is Sangyu busy with something?”

”En. She went to Errong's room last night because she couldn't fall asleep and ended up catching a cold,” Ning Yuxuan said with a serious expression. ”Since she can't leave the boat to eat lunch, I already sent servant girls to bring her food.”

”Catch a cold?” The crown prince slightly raised his eyebrow. ”Is it serious?”

”I'm not sure. Her complexion didn't look good when I check on her this morning, but she still seems spirited.” Marquis Moyu turned his head to look at Ning Mingjie. ”Mingjie, your face doesn't look too good either. What were you doing last night? You were so noisy that I ended up waking up.”

Ning Mingjie and Nie Qingyun's were inwardly startled. Marquis Moyu had also been awake last night? With him asking this question, what should Ning Mingjie say? That he got a slight cold because he had jumped into the river to save someone?

After a pause, before Ning Mingjie could speak, the crown prince also turned to look at Ning Mingjie and said, ”Sir Ning, were you doing something last night?”

”It was nothing.” Ning Mingjie lowered his eyes. Without his mask, his face looked utterly innocent. ”I was just walking around because I couldn't fall asleep. Yuxuan, was I too loud?”

”It wasn't that bad.” Ning Yuxuan lightly smiled.
