Chapter 296 - Prototyping

Wei Qing finally opened her eyes after the candle flame had extinguished.

When he woke up the next day, the hidden guard took the pigeon he caught from Qing He and entered the hall.

"Just to see what she wrote."

After an entire night of adjustment, Wei Qing seemed like nothing had happened, and said with a clear voice.

Xiao Qingqian cast a glance at her but did not say anything.

Wei Qing took the iodine and smeared it on the paper strip for a short while before the words appeared.

Xiao Qingqian took a glance, and the temperature around him immediately dropped.

So it turned out that Qing He was really Long Xiaotian's man.

The first paper slip described the Zonglian crossbow concisely. The second time was when the letter was delivered to Xiao Qingqian, who then quietly left the Prince Chu’s Mansion with Wei Qing. This time, however, they were at odds.

These three pieces of paper were crumpled into fine powder in his palm.

Wei Qing frowned, thinking that there was nothing to be afraid of about the Zonglian crossbow. Even if she thought that it was a flatten bow that could be used to increase attack power, she was still unable to accurately understand it just by describing it.

As for the matter of them leaving the Prince Chu’s Mansion, since even Qing He knew about it, it was likely that Mo Yun knew as well.

Since the note that Qing He had sent to Long Xiaotian had been cut off halfway by the secret guard, then it must be Mo Yun who had secretly sent word that they had left the Prince Chu’s Mansion.

Therefore, the people who were secretly obstructing them should be Xiao Hanqi's people!

As for the matter that they had a grudge against him, he could make use of that.

However...

Seeing Xiao Qingqian's face that was as dark as ink, Wei Qing wasn't sure if he should mention this matter to him.

Xiao Qingqian originally had a harmonious relationship with her, but after just a single night, it seemed like there was a grudge between them.

Wei Qing wanted to say something to him several times, but when she saw his heavy eyes, she swallowed back her words.

Xiao Qingqian clearly saw that Wei Qing had something to say to him, but every time he wanted to say something, he would stop. He could not help but think, could it be that Wei Qing wanted to ask him about it?

Both of them had their own thoughts and misunderstandings.

Just like that, two days passed.

Wei Qing really couldn't stand this kind of atmosphere, which almost made her depressed to the extreme.

Xiao Qingqian had just returned from the palace and, when he heard about this matter, he merely responded indifferently without saying a single unnecessary word.

As the night grew darker, Wei Qing looked at the flickering candle flame and lost in her thoughts.

The chamber was simply too oppressive, so Wei Qing simply left the chamber to go to the garden.

"You …"

"Why are you always hiding from your husband these days?"

Wei Qing bit her lips, "Obviously, it was you who caused trouble first!"

Wei Qing pursed her lips and did not reply for a long time.

"When you found out that the Ambassador of the South came to the Northern Kingdom, your entire mood changed. "Are you …"

Hearing that, Wei Qing's eyes opened wide, "Xiao Qingqian, can you not make such wild guesses?"

She had already seen the scene of Chu Yin and Princess He Yue's blissful relationship. Furthermore, Princess He Yue could be considered a talented girl, she was more than enough to match Chu Yin!

But, Xiao Qingqian still continued to look at her coldly, suspecting that she still harbored thoughts that she shouldn't have towards Chu Yin. This was truly too much!

When he clearly saw the anger in Wei Qing's eyes, the space between Xiao Qingqian's eyebrows slightly tightened.

"If you are truly magnanimous, then the palace feast will naturally see the light the day after tomorrow."

After saying that, Xiao Qingqian stepped past her and left.

Wei Qing waited for a long time as he watched his back grow further and further away, a huge, astringent feeling surging through his throat.

In other words, the Ambassador of the South that came to the Northern Kingdom together with him was Chu Yin?

He walked into the pavilion with heavy steps, Wei Qing quietly looked at the river surface that was reflecting the bright and bright moon, her thoughts drifting further away.

*

At the Northern Inn Inn.

After Chu Yin heard the secret guard's report, he looked to be deep in thought.

Since Xiao Qingqian was able to arrange a marriage between him and Princess He Yue, causing Wei Qing to be extremely heartbroken, breaking them up, then he could also do the same thing this time!

After making up his mind, he began to seriously ponder over the entire plan. The corner of his mouth slightly curled up.

Early morning the next day, Xiao Qingqian left for the palace.

Wei Qing was annoyed, so she left the Prince Chu’s Mansion.

It seemed like it had been a long time since she had gone to the theatre with An Ran. Although An Ran was a princess who was willful and willful, her personality was pure and kind.

When he arrived at Princess Mansion, he found out that An Jing was pregnant.

She was taken aback. "Princess?"

An Xin had a blissful smile on her face as she covered her belly, "Third Sister-in-Law should also work hard with Third Brother!"

Wei Qing checked her pulse, then took her leave.

A person really has no interest. Hearing that there was a storyteller in the teahouse, he stepped into the teahouse.

When he saw that familiar back from afar, Wei Qing's pupils constricted. He thought that his eyes had blurred and he was looking at the wrong person.

When he turned his head, Wei Qing suddenly clenched his fist.

Chu Yin?!

Chu Yin raised his eyebrows and smiled at her, "Have you been well recently?"

Wei Qing nodded, then shook her head.

"Is it good or not?"

Wei Qing looked at him without blinking, "Are you alright?"

"This is bad!"

These two words seemed to transform into a sharp and cold blade that fiercely stabbed into Wei Qing's chest.

"Without you around, what's the use of riding in the mountains and even seeing the bustle?"

"Prince Qi, there's no point in speaking any further!" With that, Wei Qing left in a hurry, as if she was a thief.

Chu Yin stared at her back, the expression in his eyes gradually becoming more and more profound.

"Keep watching!" With that, he walked out of the teahouse.

Wei Qing entered an alley as both of her hands tightly pressed onto her heart, trying her best to suppress the madly beating heart.

When her mood had finally calmed down, she finally returned to Prince Chu’s Mansion when the sky was about to turn dark.

The matter of her meeting Chu Yin at the teahouse had already reached Xiao Qingqian's ears. When she returned to the hall, and saw Xiao Qingqian sitting with his back facing her, her heart tensed up.

"Why are you here?"

Xiao Qingqian didn't turn around. Straightening his mouth, he slowly asked: "Where did you go?"

"Who did you see?" He slowly turned around and glared at her.

Wei Qing clenched her fist tightly under her sleeve as she thought to herself: She purposely avoided the hidden guards during the day, and even let Die'er and Mo Qi go.

"You sent someone to follow me?" She glared at him.
