Ming Li set out from the capital with Xing Zhi Lin.
Under the envious and jealous gazes of everyone, Lan Yi secretly followed them.
One day later.
In the Yu Wang Manor, Qin Yu’s brows were deeply furrowed. He asked, “Where is your Prince?”
Lan Si replied, “Reporting to the Princess Consort, the Prince has gone to the border with General Xing.”
“What?!” Qin Yu slammed his hand heavily on the table and stood up. “She’s being ridiculous! That kind of place is not for a woman like her… hhh!! Not for someone as weak as him, who can’t even lift a chicken!” He glanced at the book.
Damn it! That audacious woman actually ran off to the border without a word.
Swords and blades are blind on the battlefield, and that fellow doesn’t know martial arts! If he dies then, won’t he have to be a woman for his entire life?
Qin Yu glanced at Lan Si and quickly scanned the room before asking, “Where is Lan Yi?”
Lan Si: “……”
Seeing Lan Si’s silence and his wandering eyes, Qin Yu narrowed his eyes dangerously. He unleashed the full aura of the Prince and demanded, “Speak!”
Lan Si looked at Qin Yu’s stern face, and that familiar feeling returned.
Why did this tone feel so familiar? It was just like when their Prince got angry!
Could this be the legendary marital resemblance?
Finally, under Qin Yu’s penetrating gaze, Lan Si had no choice but to say, “Reporting to the Princess Consort, Lan Yi followed the Prince.”
Upon hearing this, Qin Yu thought for a moment and said, “Prepare the horses. Lan Er, Lan San, Lan Si, Lan Wu, follow me when it gets dark. The rest remain at the manor!”
Thinking of something else, Qin Yu frowned and continued, “Don’t let the people in the palace find out that the Princess Consort has left. Guard the manor well.”
Lan Si: “But the Prince said…”
Qin Yu coldly interrupted, “Did she tell me?”
Lan Si: “No.”
Qin Yu: “Then why aren’t you preparing the horses for this Prince… Consort!”
Lan Si: “……” He felt that something was wrong but couldn’t quite articulate it. In the end, he could only go to prepare the horses in a daze.
After Lan Si left, Qin Yu angrily smashed a teacup.
How dare that dead woman use his body to mess around without his permission?!
Was the battlefield that fun to play with?! She was truly just a woman, acting on impulse!
Time quickly passed until evening.
After two days of travel, Xing Zhi Lin told everyone to stop and rest, light a fire, and cook something to eat.
Ming Li sat by a bonfire, her gaze faintly drifting in a certain direction. Then, she picked up a stone from the ground and flicked it sharply at a tree branch.
Lan Yi, the unlucky fellow, reacted a beat too slow and was hit in the knee by the stone, falling from the tree and landing face-first in the dirt.
Lan Yi’s heart flustered for a moment, then he quickly knelt before Ming Li to beg for forgiveness. “Master, this subordinate knows his mistake. I should not have disobeyed your orders. I beg Master for punishment!”
Ming Li’s eye corners twitched. She asked, “Where are the others?”
Lan Yi, with a pounding heart, replied, “Reporting to Master, the others remained in the capital. Only I, on my own initiative, followed.”
Ming Li’s expression was unreadable. She somehow produced a jar of peach blossom wine, took a sip, and said calmly, “Since you’re here, you can follow. You can receive your punishment upon our return.”
Lan Yi breathed a slight sigh of relief. It was good that Master didn’t send him back.
Therefore, when Xing Zhi Lin arrived, he saw an extra person by Ming Li’s side.
