The daughter of the Marquis is too delicate, the abstinent prince pinches her waist and loves her

Chapter 59 As long as you are happy

Prince Ye's Palace.

A man in black tights walked into the house. He was Yue Xuan, the guard sent by Ye Jinchen to protect Sheng Yunqing's safety. He would not return home easily unless he encountered danger.

"My Lord, Miss Sheng was assassinated today."

"What?" Ye Jinchen paused while writing a memorial, and slapped the wolf-hair brush on the table. "Is she okay?"

Yue Xuan shook his head and said, "Miss Sheng is fine. With Miss Su protecting her personally, there is basically no need to send us out. However, it was Third Young Master Bai who saved her today."

Ye Jinchen raised his eyebrows and asked, "Bai Qianci?"

The guard nodded and said, "Today, a short arrow was shot from the roof opposite. Before Miss Su could shoot it down, Third Young Master Bai stood in front of the two of them and blocked the arrow for Miss Sheng. The arrow was poisoned and hit her waist and abdomen, causing her to faint on the spot."

"Has the assassin been caught?"

"The assassin ran away one step ahead. There was a mechanism next to the crossbow. It estimated Miss Sheng's whereabouts in advance and shot the short arrow after the mechanism was triggered."

Ye Jinchen narrowed his beautiful eyes. The man was cunning: "After finding the murderer, send him directly to the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion."

"Yes."

Ye Jinchen raised his hand and rubbed his brow, then asked, "How is Bai Qianci?"

But according to reports from other spies, he is no longer in danger."

Ye Jinchen pondered for a moment and said, "He actually did this for Qing'er? He really loves her..."

Pei Xuan at the side said thoughtfully: "Your Majesty, Miss Sheng is frightened, should we go and comfort her? Otherwise, someone with ulterior motives will get there first..."

Ye Jinchen felt a pang of pain in his heart. He said in a low voice, "Whether it is possible to lure the snake out of its hole remains to be seen."

He clenched his fist and said to Pei Xuan, "In the name of the Eighth Commandery Princess, send some supplements to Qing'er."

"Yes."

That night, Sheng Yunqing had already fallen asleep on the bed. Chunrui blew out the lights in the room and left.

Ye Jinchen sat beside her bed, watching the moonlight gently shining on her beautiful face. He reached out and gently brushed aside her scattered hair, and stroked her cheek with his warm palm.

Half asleep and half awake, Sheng Yunqing smelled the pleasant scent of ambergris, raised her lips slightly, held his hand with her slender hand, and asked for his warm and gentle love.

Ye Jinchen's fingertips gently stroked her delicate skin, and he just sat there quietly.

He would not feel at ease until he saw with his own eyes that she was safe.

When the sky was about to brighten, bright light shone through the window and in the distance there were bursts of melodious bird calls.

"Qing'er, I have to go to court." Ye Jinchen said softly.

After he finished speaking, Sheng Yunqing let go of his hand in a daze.

Ye Jinchen leaned over, kissed her smooth forehead, then turned and left.

In the morning, Sheng Yunqing came to Bai Qianci's room and asked, "Bai Qianci, how are you?"

Bai Qianci handed her the paper lotus in his hand and said, "You've been resting for a day and you've gotten much better. I folded a flower when I had nothing to do and I'm giving it to you."

Sheng Yunqing smiled and took it with his hand: "You have really skillful hands."

"You didn't tell my father about my injury, did you?"

Sheng Yunqing shook his head and said, "I have followed your instructions and kept it a secret from the Duke's Mansion. I just said that you are staying in the Marquis' Mansion for a day or two."

Bai Qianci nodded and said, "I will go back after I recover from my injuries and will not cause any trouble to you."

"What's the trouble? You got hurt because you saved me." She stretched out her hand to check his pulse and said, "Looking at your condition, you have recovered well." Bai Qianci smiled and said, "I wrote a prescription yesterday and asked the servants to get the medicine. The poison in my body has been almost cleared, but I still don't have the strength."

"I've never heard you mention being good at medicine before."

"I studied under a master outside for a few years."

Sheng Yunqing nodded and said, "Qiuyao's wedding was also thanks to you."

"It's nothing to worry about." Bai Qianci looked at her and said, "As long as you are happy, that's more important than anything else."

After he finished speaking, he slowly moved his hand over, wanting to hold Sheng Yunqing's hand. Sheng Yunqing pulled back and said with a smile, "It's getting late. There are still things to deal with in the Marquis' Mansion."

After saying that, she put the paper lotus in her hand back to his side, then stood up and left.

Bai Qianci's eyes flashed with frustration. He looked at Sheng Yunqing's back and called her, "Yesterday, when you were assassinated, I saw the Prime Minister's carriage passing by. If you can't find any clues, you can keep an eye out for it."

Hearing this, Sheng Yunqing paused, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said, "Thank you."

Back in the room, Sheng Yunqing sat in front of the window, staring at the scenery outside in a trance.

Prime Minister Ming has been in close contact with Ye Jinchen recently. He knows that she is Ye Jinchen's fiancée and it should be unlikely that he would harm her.

Just as she was thinking, Su Lan walked quickly from outside, came to Sheng Yunqing's side, leaned down and whispered in her ear: "Someone from Prince Ye's Mansion reported that a spy saw Ming Yulan passing by that day.

Sheng Yunqing frowned and said, "Keep a close eye on Ming Yulan, and tell me if there is any movement."

"Yes."

The palace, a bright afternoon.

Koi fish are swimming in the knee-deep clear water.

There are graceful peach trees planted beside the pond. The peach blossoms are in full bloom, and the petals are blown into the water by the wind, creating ripples.

Sheng Yunqing was wearing a light blue waist-length skirt and walking on the winding path on the pond. Pink petals fell on the beauty's dress, adding a beautiful touch of color.

From time to time, sounds of laughter could be heard from the front.

She looked up and saw the Queen Mother, dressed in a luxurious black robe with gold threads, with a gentle and kind smile, standing in the pond feeding the fish.

"Your Highness, look at this fish. It's growing really well."

A familiar voice came from the Queen Mother's side. The girl in a lavender dress was pretty and charming, with a sweet voice.

A hint of coldness flashed across Sheng Yunqing's eyes, and then he put on a perfect smile, walked in front of the Queen Mother, and said, "May the Queen Mother be blessed with good health."

She raised her eyes to glance at Ming Yulan and nodded gently: "Second Miss Ming."

Ming Yulan nodded and said, "Is Miss Sheng also here to visit the Empress Dowager?"

"I have made an appointment with the Queen Mother for today."

Ming Yulan smiled and said, "What a coincidence! I have always liked Miss Sheng, but I have never had the chance to meet her. Now I have come to pay my respects to the Empress Dowager today, and I have met Miss Sheng again."

The Queen Mother smiled and said, "It would be good for the two of you to get in touch more often and bond with each other."

Ming Yulan bowed to the Queen Mother and said, "Your Highness, no matter how much I like Miss Sheng, I cannot take up your time alone. I will pay my respects to you next time. I will take my leave today."

After she finished speaking, she gave Sheng Yunqing a gentle smile, nodded, and left leisurely.

The Queen Mother looked at Ming Yulan's back and said, "I think this child is good and a good match for Chen'er."
