Although Yichen was ordered to retreat, because of his status as King Huai, he remained sitting not far from them and listened to their conversation.
At first, like Prince Huai, he thought that Miss Wen finally sensed his prince's intentions and wanted to take the initiative. Even if he felt that there was a disparity in status between the two, he was happy for the prince.
But who would have expected that within a few words, she would tell her true thoughts. It turned out that this girl had not fallen in love with their prince at all, and had come specifically to make things clear to him.
Yichen sighed. He couldn't say that this girl was really ignorant. After all, it could be inferred from their previous conversation that this girl liked His Majesty the Emperor.
Watching Wen Shaoxue leave, Yichen quietly walked back to Prince Huai: "Your Majesty."
"You just heard it."
"…" Not speaking is the default.
"Do you think this king is a failure? If you want to laugh at me, just laugh as much as you want. I won't blame you." Prince Huai still maintained the posture he was sitting in just now.
"I don't dare." Yichen lowered his head. There was no particularly big mood swing on Prince Huai's face, but after all, Yichen had been with him for so long, and he could feel that he was in a very bad mood now.
"Go and follow her back. Just follow her secretly. I always feel like someone is watching her these days." Zhu Changqing called for someone to come up and change the tea into wine.
"No." Yichen refused without thinking.
"My duty is to protect your safety. Now that you are drinking again, how can I leave at this time?"
"It's okay, you are not the only one following me, so these few glasses of wine are not a problem for me."
Yichen wanted to say something more, but fell silent when he saw Prince Huai's face. He jumped out of the window without saying a word and disappeared on the street.
Prince Huai refilled a glass of wine and shook his head helplessly: "This child seems to be so spoiled that he has learned to play tricks with his master."
After Wen Shaoxue came out of the tea shop, she walked faster and faster, as if to get rid of the guilt and uneasiness in her heart. After realizing that no one was chasing her, she breathed a sigh of relief and slowly slowed down her pace.
In fact, there is nothing wrong with Zhang Qing. Except for Mr. Lin and Mr. Zhou, no one has ever taken such good care of her, and no one will take her feelings into consideration at all times.
It's just that gratitude and liking are different after all. She can deceive herself for a while, but she can't deceive herself for the rest of her life. The one who will be hurt the most will be Mr. Zhang. In this case, it is better to cut the knot with a quick knife and cut off his feelings, rather than suffer long-term pain.
Short-term pain.
He must be very disappointed and hating his lack of knowledge now. It is estimated that there will be no chance to see each other again in the future. It is a pity that in the end they could not leave any good memories for each other.
As she thought about it, she became a little distracted, and by the time she realized something was wrong, it was already too late. Several men who seemed to be moving strangely were following behind her at some point, and judging from their behavior, there should be more people coming.
It's strange that she shouldn't be enmity with someone. Why would someone go to such great lengths to attack her? The first thought that came to her mind was that there was news about Mr. Lin?
Although she felt nervous and scared, it was still broad daylight and she was still in a downtown area. She didn't believe what these people could do to her in full view of the public.
With my familiarity with the nearby geographical location, I might be able to get rid of them.
After making up her mind, Wen Shaoxue suddenly accelerated her pace. She specifically looked for small streets with many people and many side streets, and went around in twists and turns.
This method was really effective. Wen Shaoxue glanced back with his peripheral vision. The people following him should have been separated by a distance. As long as he circled a few more times, he would be able to completely get rid of their tracking.
Yichen watched silently from a high place, thinking that this woman was not too stupid. After discovering that she was being followed, she did not yell in panic, but wisely chose to circle around and throw away the pursuers.
Unfortunately, things are not that simple. The people below can be shaken off in this way, but the people above are not so easy to get rid of.
Yichen squinted his eyes and observed several figures who were some distance away from him. It seemed that this person's target should also be Wen Shaoxue. He and the people below should not be together, otherwise he should have thought of ways to alert them just now.
Who is targeting this girl? Is it because of the prince? Yi Chen lowered his eyes and thought.
If she is really related to the prince, then there are only two people in the capital who can keep an eye on her, one is Zhu Changcheng and the other is Prince Rui.
Judging from the behavior of these two groups of people, it really fits their style. There is no need to consider the following group of idiots for the time being, but the killers of Dark Ghost Tower cannot be underestimated.
I heard that King Rui had sent out all the top people from Dark Ghost Tower to protect his younger brother. I wonder what level this person is now? Yi Chen's face was full of eagerness to try.
"What? Lost someone?" Zhu Changcheng was very angry.
"You losers, you can't even keep up with a woman, what else can you do?"
The few people standing below were submissive and looked aggrieved. At first, they had been hiding very well and were not discovered at all. They did not expect that the weak-looking woman suddenly saw their position and used her
With his familiarity with that place, he quickly disappeared into the crowd.
"Sir, please give us a chance. This time we will definitely find out the relationship between her and Prince Huai." Someone boldly stepped forward.
Zhu Changcheng looked at them coldly and said nothing for a long time. He finally relaxed when everyone below them had cold sweat on their foreheads and was about to fall down with a guilty conscience.
"Okay, since you are so confident, let me give you another chance. If you still don't get anything, you don't have to come back. You can just find a place to end it on your own."
"Yes, I understand that I will not let you down this time." Although they have won the opportunity to make meritorious service, this task is far more difficult than they thought. They must not underestimate the enemy next time.
When Wen Shaoxue returned to the rouge shop, she made sure no one was following her before she was completely relieved. She closed the door heavily, and her body leaning against the door slowly slid down and fell to the ground weakly.
Liu'er and Xiaotong ran out in a hurry when they heard the noise, and were shocked to see her like this.
