As the saying goes, the mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole follows behind. When I saw the other person walking away, I immediately jumped off the big tree, went to the side of the rockery, found a branch at random, and pulled out the "Metallurgy" caught in the small crack.
As soon as I got "Metallurgy", someone grabbed my wrist.
It turns out there is a hunter behind the oriole!
I turned around abruptly.
Prince Qi Yao looked at me with a gentle face, but his hand held my wrist tightly.
I guess no one can understand how I feel now. I am obviously not a thief, but I was caught with all the stolen goods.
I'm dead this time, I'm the person next to Xia Yan, no matter what I do, I represent Xia Yan!
"That... that... was a misunderstanding!" I wanted to explain, but I didn't know how to explain it. I was so anxious that I was sweating all over.
"I know!" The prince raised his lips to me warmly and took the "Metallurgy" from my hand.
After he let me go, he looked at me gently and said, "I didn't ask the guards to arrest you, because I believed that the person who stole it was not you!"
I twitched the corner of my mouth, not knowing if he really understood the righteousness so well or if he had some purpose.
Seeing that I was silent, he said again: "This "Metallurgy" belongs to Qi Xuan, you can't take it away!"
"...Isn't Qi Xuan's under the bed? Why did it end up in the pillow?" I blurted out.
The prince was stunned, and the beautiful peach blossoms suddenly dimmed.
I quickly said: "You changed positions, right?"
The prince did not speak, but to me, silence is acquiescence.
"I know, you are not Pang Yi, you are Changting!" The prince raised his eyelashes and looked at me with watery eyes.
I stared at him in surprise: "Prince, you really love to joke!"
The prince said: "I have seen you many times! In Qi Xuan's studio! He said that you are his best friend, the most..."
He didn't say the following words because someone came.
The prince pulled me and said, "It's not convenient to talk here, come with me!"
"Alas, where are you taking me?"
"My bedroom!"
The first time we met, he took me back to the palace. If others found out, I couldn't wash it off even if I jumped into the Yellow River!
But the prince warmly invited me, and I was caught by him just now. If I didn't go with him, I'm afraid he wouldn't let it go.
In desperation, I followed the prince across the entire palace and came to the prince's palace.
Entering the palace, the prince waved off his men and led me all the way to the study.
"You...what did you bring me here for?" I was puzzled.
The prince took out the book "Metallurgy" and said: "I know, you are all here for it!"
It feels really strange to have the dark and damp side dissected openly and aired in public.
"Help me sharpen my ink!"
"ah?"
"Metallurgy is the national treasure of the Qi State. How can it be taken away by others at will? You and Qi Xuan are good friends. You shouldn't see him lose his life!" The prince put away his smile and looked at him righteously.
I.
I shook my head quickly: "Don't worry, I don't want this book anymore!"
"You don't want it, but there are others, so I will make a copy and let Yan Xiaoqing take it away! As for you... I will give you the Queen Mother's copy!"
I was completely stunned and looked at the prince with dull eyes.
My mind turned over and over again, but I couldn't find a suitable word to describe the man in front of me.
ps: A new character is introduced today, and he is also a very important character!
