Seeing that Xiao Zhangping was about to leave, Ning Shu suddenly thought of something and took a few steps forward to ask, "Oh right, Your Highness, you told me before that Old Princess Yu sang a nursery rhyme to you the night before the incident. May I ask what it was? Can you tell me?"
Xiao Zhangping said with a calm expression, "It's the one that many people sing to coax their children, about the swallow pecking the imperial grandson."
Finally getting an important clue, Ning Shu let out a long sigh and tiredly patted her sore limbs. In order to keep an eye on Xiao Zhangping and avoid Xiahou Qing at the same time, she had been hiding here and there for the past two days. She was really in a difficult situation.
But fortunately, it was finally done. She had to have a good sleep first. As for how to face Xiahou Qing, and when to face him — —
Whatever, she would think about it after she had enough sleep. After all, lice wouldn't itch, and debts wouldn't weigh her down.
She was in a good mood and slowly walked down the stairs. While thinking about which inn had a good reputation and the food wasn't bad, she stepped out of Chasing Clouds and Chasing Moon Restaurant.
Then, when she saw the familiar carriage that had just arrived, her footsteps suddenly stopped.
The carriage stopped, and a tall and cold figure stepped out. It was as if the figure was painted with black and white ink. When he appeared, the people on the other side of the river all looked over. The flower girl also stopped her business and excitedly and curiously tiptoed, following the crowd.
Xiao Zhangping's sedan was just about to leave when she saw Xiahou Qing. She hurriedly ordered the guards to stop and jumped down from the sedan to walk over. Her face was filled with the loveliness and expectation of a jasmine. Xiahou Qing also patiently listened to Xiao Zhangping seriously, occasionally giving a short reply.
The distance was a little far, so Ning Shu couldn't hear what the two of them were talking about. She only saw Xiao Zhangping raise her head to look at Xiahou Qing with eyes that were abnormally bright, like stars. Xiahou Qing's expression was also calm and gentle, like a green tree in the early summer, casting a shadow that gradually faded. The gaps in the shadow were sprinkled with bits of gold.
Ning Shu thought for a moment and immediately turned to leave silently along the wall. Then, she heard Xiahou Qing suddenly raise his voice, "Stop, where do you think you're going?"
Ning Shu felt a chill run down her back. She lowered her head and wanted to play dumb to escape, but there was already a wall of people standing in front of her, easily blocking her path.
On the other side, Xiahou Qing lowered his head and said a few words to Xiao Zhangping. Xiao Zhangping to go back to the palace.
After Xiao Zhangping left, Xia Hou Qing's footsteps were slow and leisurely, gradually approaching Ning Shu from behind. Each step was very light, but it was as if he was stepping on her heart, causing her to tremble with fear until he was right behind her.
A cool breath brushed against her ear, and he sneered, "Ning Shu, you've only been by my side for a few days, and your courage and insight have grown. You've made me have a whole new level of respect for you. Deceiving your master, stealing the seal and running away, and getting close to the princess behind my back. Do you still remember what the punishment for these crimes is according to the rules of the manor?"
Sun Wukong was destined to be unable to escape from the palm of the Buddha. Ning Shu had no way to escape. She could only brace herself and turn around. Embarrassed, she said, "I remember."
Xiahou Qing's brows furrowed, and his face was filled with suppressed anger, "You still dare to do it even if you remember. You're simply —" These past two days, he had sent out all of his personal guards to find her. If he hadn't guessed that she would be following Xiao Zhangping when he left the palace today, he was afraid that he wouldn't have been able to catch this slippery fish.
Ning Shu turned her head away and said in a small voice, "What Your Highness wants to do, you didn't discuss it with me in advance." Didn't he also try to burn the note behind her back and trap her in the fu to copy books and not leave the house? We're the same.
