Ning Shu jokingly thought. Then she yawned and felt sleepy. Xiahou Qing did not make a sound and the carriage was comfortably quiet. Ning Shu could not help but fall asleep on the small table in front of her.
A soft brocade ribbon was gently tickling her face and the tip of her nose with the breeze outside the window. She subconsciously reached out to catch it. She half-opened her eyes and found that she was holding the end of a piece of black satin in her hand.
One part of the brocade embroidered with bluegrass was hidden in front of his eyes, while the other part was caught in her palm.
In her half-awake state, Ning Shu looked at the person in front of her who was like a famous painting. She vaguely whispered, "This case should not be simpler than the Phoenix Terrace case. It might be several times more complicated. If my daughter can successfully solve the case, can I ask for another reward from His Highness?"
"What do you want?" He asked.
"I want to see His Highness' eyes."
Until they got off the carriage and returned to the Duke's Estate, Ning Shu was stunned. She did not understand why she had made such a request. She did not know where she got the courage to ask Xiahou Qing to take off the black satin for her to see.
Why did she feel that it was inexplicably frivolous?
Ning Shu, ah Ning Shu. Although His Highness the Crown Prince is peerlessly handsome, you should know that you can't touch a tiger's butt. That's right, after she offended him, how did he answer?
It seemed to be … "But"?
Ning Shu sighed and held her forehead. Forget it, forget it. Anyway, he should be used to her shamelessness. Let it go with the wind …
Quietly entering through the side door, Ning Shu avoided a group of laundry maids and prepared to quietly return to her room. Last time, she acted on her own initiative in the Phoenix Terrace case. After the incident, her mother was worried for a few days and was afraid that she would get into trouble. Therefore, before leaving the estate, she specifically asked Forsythia to cover her up and not let her father and mother find out.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she stepped into the room, she saw Forsythia winking and glaring at her with a conflicted expression, gesturing towards the inner room. Ning Shu's heart was alarmed. Before she could react, Princess He Xin had already walked out.
Princess He Xin sighed: "Shu 'er, did you forget what mother said to you a few days ago?"
Ning Shu braced herself and stepped forward. She held her mother's hand and said in a soft voice, "There is another case in the palace, which is related to Heir of Xiahou. I owe him a big favor before, so I acted recklessly again. Mother, please don't be angry with me."
"You are my most cherished daughter. How could Mother be angry with you? It's just that I've repeatedly told you to stay away from Xiahou Qing. His body - "Princess Hexin's words stopped abruptly:" He has a chronic disease, and it can flare up at any time. When the time comes, you won't be able to tell, so it's better to keep a distance from him from the beginning, a little farther, a little farther. "
Although Princess He Xin's pause was extremely fast, it still couldn't escape Ning Shu's keen nerves. She carefully understood the meaning of her mother's words. She had a speculation: Does mother also know that Xiahou Qing has a strange poison?
However, her mother obviously deliberately avoided this topic. She couldn't get any results even if she asked. So, Ning Shu pursed her lips and smiled: "Mother, don't worry. Daughter and Heir of Xiahou are only related to the case, nothing else. How can a person like daughter who has been married three times get into his eyes? Mother, you think too highly of me. "
Princess He Xin came over and reached out to comb Ning Shu's hair hanging by her ear. She tenderly looked at her most beloved daughter in front of her. From babbling, she gradually grew up to the age she was when she was with Empress Xiao Zhou. Then, she grew up to the slender and elegant appearance in front of her. Her heart was filled with thousands of thoughts.
"Mother doesn't mean that you don't deserve him. My daughter is graceful, beautiful, and intelligent. You are worthy of all the good men in the world. But that man can't be him. Remember, absolutely, no. "
"Daughter, do you know why?" Ning Shu asked carefully.
"You don't need to know. You only need to know that mother only wants you to be safe and happy, without any disaster or worry. You can live a smooth life." Then, before Ning Shu asked, she slowly held Ning Shu in her arms and gently patted her back with her soft hands.
In a place where Ning Shu couldn't see, her eyes were watery like wings. She whispered in a voice that no one could hear, "As my daughter, I'm ashamed of you."
