It's roasted skewers!! The system's eyes lit up, and it swallowed. There's also the smell of beggar's chicken!
ԅ(
The system chuckled awkwardly and said, "No... I didn't do anything! Host, the weather is nice today. I saw a few pigs over there, I'm going to get acquainted with them..."
After rambling for a bit, the system continued to look at Ming Li with an awkward smile.
Ming Li's gaze followed the direction the system pointed. There, several suckling pigs were hanging, roasted to a golden brown, glistening with oil, and emitting a rich aroma.
Ming Li: ...
She expressionlessly threw the system back into the system space, then walked off in one direction.
The system, thrown back into the system space: ... Internally roaring in vain, no! Don't!!! My suckling pigs!!!
Ming Li made several turns and quickly shook off the group of people tracking her, her figure disappearing into the crowd once more.
In the evening, Qin Yu woke up from the pain again. He reached out to rub his head, but as soon as he raised his hand, he felt the bandage wrapped around his head.
Qin Yu: ...
Completely unaware of what had happened, Qin Yu called for Lan Yi.
"This King... Princess, what is this wound on my head?"
Lan Yi heard this, glanced at Qin Yu's bandaged head, and replied, "Reporting to Princess, your subordinate does not know. We only know that you fainted when you returned, and your head was still bleeding. The guards driving the carriage said that you seemed to have fainted in the carriage."
Qin Yu: ...
Qin Yu recalled and realized that he seemed to have been thrown onto the carriage by Ming Li. This meant he had been knocked unconscious by Ming Li?!
Qin Yu's expression turned cold, and he asked in a chilling tone, "Where is your King?"
"Reporting to Princess, His Highness has not returned yet."
Lan Yi glanced at Qin Yu's expression and felt a strange sense of familiarity, though he couldn't pinpoint where it was from.
Qin Yu narrowed his eyes, suddenly having a bad feeling, and asked, "Where did he go?"
Lan Yi: "Reporting to Princess, your subordinate does not know. It is not for us subordinates to inquire about His Highness's affairs."
Qin Yu: ...
At this moment.
Ming Li was leisurely drinking tea in the Zhenguo General's Mansion, facing General Zhenguo, Xing Zhi Lin.
Xing Zhi Lin stared at the man with a demonic appearance and noble aura with great vigilance. After a long while, he finally asked, "May I ask why Prince Yu has come?"
Damn it! He'd been sitting here all afternoon, not saying a word, just drinking tea! He was almost drinking away all his prized tea!
Looking at the teacup in Ming Li's hand, a hint of heartache flashed in Xing Zhi Lin's eyes.
Ming Li put down the teacup and said lightly, "It's nothing much. I just wanted to inquire about the border wars with General Xing. I heard that General Xing will be leading troops out again in a few days, so I came to take a look."
Xing Zhi Lin: ... "Thank you for your concern, Prince Yu. This general will definitely return victorious!"
Ming Li tapped her fan, speaking with a veiled meaning, "That's not necessarily true..."
