After Li Yan and the others left, Zhu Youjian called over the East Branch Supervisor Chen Wenlu and instructed him.
" Your Excellency is suspecting…" Chen Wenlu also felt that this Zhou Wanqing was a little strange. Logically speaking, how could a girl from a rural family have such courage to stop the Fan King's carriage? This would result in her being beheaded.
"She gives me a very familiar feeling…"
Bianjing Governor Wang Qia's family did not live in the government office, but in a large mansion in the south of the city. Cao Wenzhao had already brought people to detain his family, waiting for Zhu Youjian's verdict.
Behind the government office was a courtyard with three entrances and three exits. In an elegantly decorated room, Xu Guangqi placed the medicine he had brewed on the table. He looked at Zhou Wanqing, who was lying on the hospital bed, holding two land deeds tightly in her hands. She looked a little tired. He sighed, shook his head, and walked out.
"Your Highness, why are you here?"
The door creaked open. Zhou Wanqing hurriedly sat up and tidied her messy hair.
When the door opened, a tall and slender vassal king who was about the same age as him walked in. A pair of big and bright eyes stared at Zhou Wanqing, sizing her up for a long time. Seeing this, Zhou Wanqing's cheeks blushed and she lowered her head shyly.
"Miss Zhou, you look like an old friend of mine.”Zhu Youjian sat by the bed and smiled at her.
"Your Highness must be joking. As a member of the royal family, how could you know a wild village woman like this little girl?”Zhou Wanqing replied. Zhu Youjian smiled awkwardly," Miss Zhou, I want to ask you something.”
"Please speak, Your Highness. I will tell you everything I know.”
"Are all the women in Jiangnan as beautiful as you?”
Zhou Wanqing's cheeks instantly turned red as she lowered her head and did not speak for a long time.
"This one was rude. Young Lady, rest well. Dinner will be served in another four hours.”
After Zhu Youjian finished speaking, he turned around and pushed the door open. Zhou Wanqing let out a long breath and slowly opened her palm, revealing two bone-piercing nails that were already covered in sweat.
When the lanterns were lit, dozens of tables were placed in the courtyard of the Bianjing government office. Soldiers, foreigners, and accompanying officials were gathered together, holding rice bowls and talking and laughing.
Zhou Wanqing sat in the corner and looked at Zhu You Jian who was sitting beside her, eating white rice and drinking egg soup like the officials and soldiers. He did not have any of the royal family's noble behavior. She was a little curious in her heart. What kind of person was this Prince Xin?
"I've always heard that this West Lake Vinegar Fish is the best in the world. After tasting it today, it really lives up to its reputation!”Zhu Youjian saw that Zhou Wanqing refused to move her chopsticks, so he took the initiative to pick up a piece of fish for her and put it in her bowl.
" Thank you, Your Highness…As a woman, my status is low. I can't sit at the same table as you…" Her face turned red as she took her bowl and slipped into the room.
"Hahaha! This woman really knows her manners!" Xu Guangqi smiled.
Cao Wenzhao's eyes widened as he tilted his head and looked Zhu Youjian up and down. He said in a muffled voice," Your Highness, Miss Zhou is homeless now. We can't just let her be alone and wander outside!" Why don't you keep her by your side and take her into your room in the future to be a princess consort or something…"
"You're too talkative!" Li Yan hurriedly covered his big mouth." You're just spouting nonsense!”
Zhu Youjian smiled and shook his head. He picked up a piece of vinegar fish with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth, but it tasted like chewing wax.
It was late at night, and the soldiers of the capital prefecture patrolling the night were in groups of three, patrolling the government office for any signs of trouble.
Zhou Wanqing quietly got up and took out a set of night clothing that she had prepared beforehand from her bag. She put it on and with a shake of her wrist, a snow-white dagger appeared!
She quietly pushed open the door and waited for the night patrol soldiers to pass by. Then, she took out a flying hook and hooked it onto the eaves of the house. She jumped up and flew up to the roof like a flying swallow.
His feet stepped lightly on the tiles, like cotton falling to the ground, without making a single sound!
She looked at the soldiers patrolling the night below and a cold smile appeared on her lips. She took the Seven Star Steps and with a few ups and downs, she arrived on the roof of Prince Xin's room. She quietly lifted the tiles and with the help of the hazy moonlight, she could vaguely see a person lying on the bed.
Zhou Wanqing was delighted and jumped down. Just as her feet touched the ground, she jumped up like a swallow and pounced straight at the head of the bed!
The moonlight was like water, shining on the face of the sleeping person. Zhou Wanqing looked at Zhu You Jian's well-defined face and thought of the righteousness he had when he avenged his father and brother. The hand holding the dagger actually trembled slightly!
Was he really going to do this?
"You're finally here." Just as she was in a daze, the person who was " sleeping soundly " actually sat up and smiled at her.
"You, you noticed?" Zhou Wanqing was stunned. She quickly recalled the moment she walked out of the room and entered the bedroom. She did not make any noise!
However, was he a martial arts expert? He could actually predict the enemy's advance!
"I didn't fall asleep. I was just waiting for you.”As he spoke, Zhu Youjian got out of bed and lit the candle. The dim yellow light lit up the room and the shadows of the two men swayed on the wall.
"Tell me, which force sent you to kill me?”Zhu Youjian stood in front of her and asked.
