Lou Yan has been gone for a long time, and Qin Zhen has not come back to his senses.
She unconsciously raised her hand and touched her eyes, feeling that Lou Yan's body temperature was still there.
After standing in a daze for a while, Qin Zhen patted her head and muttered: "She must have been crying so hard that her head was spinning."
After sitting in the tent for a while, she heard movement at the door. She cautiously poked her head in and called out softly: "Princess?"
Qin Zhen was stunned for a moment, her eyes falling on that little head.
She is a girl, about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a round face, big round eyes, and a tiger-like head, which makes her look very cute.
Qin Zhen tried to shout: "Manman?"
The head shook immediately, and its big round eyes were bright: "It's a slave."
Qin Zhen was amused: "Come in."
Manman ran in a few steps, then stood in front of Qin Zhen and said in a crisp voice: "My slave Manman has met the princess."
Qin Zhen looked at her: "Did you come here voluntarily?"
Manman nodded fiercely: "Yes, yes."
Qin Zhen raised her eyebrows: "Why, Lou Yan doesn't treat you well?"
A flash of hesitation flashed across Manman's face, and he whispered: "I'll tell you, but don't tell His Highness the Third Prince."
"His Third Highness is good, but he keeps a straight face all day long, which is very scary. Also, he is mute and never speaks. He has to guess what he wants to do. It's okay if he guesses right, but if he guesses wrong, he will be cold and cold.
One look at it and I feel like my lifespan will be cut in half."
Qin Zhen burst into laughter.
She didn't expect that everyone under Lou Yan looked at him like this.
"The princess looks so beautiful when she smiles," Manman opened her mouth to praise: "Unlike the Third Highness, who has an expressionless face all day long and seems to have forgotten how to smile."
Qin Zhen pointed at her and said, "You are not so realistic. As soon as you came here, you stepped on the original owner to please the new owner."
Manman smiled and said, "But what I told is the truth, and the princess also likes to hear it."
Qin Zhen laughed for a while, and then couldn't help but continue laughing.
This manga is really quite lovable.
It is strange to say that Lou Yan, a mute, is rigid and boring in person, but the people under his command are more exciting than the others.
Such as Linglong, such as Manman.
Manman stood there, looking at Qin Zhen's smiling face, and finally felt relieved.
Before she came, she was extremely worried, fearing that the princess wouldn't like her and would send her back. But now it seems that she doesn't need to go back.
As expected, Qin Zhen did not drive her away, but kept her.
In addition to Manman, the people Qin Hong selected were also sent over that day.
In fact, there is no need to choose, Qin Zhen has always had people protecting her, but these people are all in the dark.
Now that he had a legitimate reason, Qin Hong directly exposed the person.
Qin Da, Qin Er, and Qin Shan, these three people walked from the dark to the light, and followed Qin Zhen blatantly.
——
Early on the second day of the autumn hunt, the Crown Princess suddenly fell ill and was sent back to the palace by the Emperor, with the Crown Prince accompanying her.
Everyone was shocked and began to wait and see. Before they could understand, another piece of news spread.
The affairs in the prince's hands were handed over to His Royal Highness Xiao Yao.
At this time, many people began to waver.
Xiao Jue has been the prince for many years, and the emperor's attitude towards him has always been neither salty nor indifferent. But other than that, there is nothing else, and the prince's position is relatively stable.
But in recent times, it is obvious that the emperor's dissatisfaction with the prince has been growing day by day. To this day, he has directly pulled the fourth prince out.
The fourth prince, Xiao Yao, is fundamentally different from the other princes.
Xiao Yao and Xiao Jue are from the same mother, and are the legitimate sons of the Queen.
The emperor's move was like a signal, causing those ministers to start weighing the matter in their minds.
But these have nothing to do with Qin Zhen.
She went out in the afternoon, with Man Man behind her.
I originally wanted to find a quiet place, but unexpectedly I bumped into Xiao Yao and the Queen talking.
The place where she stood was relatively hidden, and the mother and son seemed to be arguing, so they did not notice Qin Zhen's approach.
Qin Zhen leaned in the hiding place and listened for a while, then suddenly smiled silently.
Looking at Qin Zhen's smile, Manman couldn't help but shudder. She always felt that the princess was smiling with bad intentions.
Qin Zhen turned her head and asked Manman in a low voice: "Is the prince gone?"
Manman replied: "I packed my bags in the morning, I shouldn't have left yet."
Qin Zhen nodded, turned around and walked in the direction of the prince.
Seeing Xiao Jue from a distance, the smile on Qin Zhen's face dropped and instantly changed to a look of panic.
She ran in the direction of Xiao Jue, leaving Manman behind her stunned, standing there at a loss.
Qin Zhen ran past Xiao Jue in panic, seemingly not seeing Xiao Jue.
Xiao Jue saw her and couldn't help shouting: "Zhen Zhen?"
Qin Zhen was stunned, looked back at Xiao Jue, and then quickly looked away.
Xiao Jue was suspicious: "Why are you running?"
"No, it's nothing." Qin Zhen looked at him and said, "Are you leaving?"
Xiao Jue looked at her strangely, then nodded and said, "Everything is packed. I'm going to say goodbye to my mother and then leave."
"Don't!" Qin Zhen said in panic.
Xiao Jue was stunned: "What?"
Qin Zhen pursed her lips, and then said: "The Queen is still ill and probably not in good spirits. You, you don't have to say goodbye, right?"
Xiao Jue frowned: "How can that be done? If I don't go, people will say I'm unfilial."
Qin Zhen: "Well, isn't this a special situation?"
Xiao Jue: "..."
Xiao Jue looked at Qin Zhen intently for a while, and then said in a deep voice: "You don't want me to see the queen mother? Why?"
"No!" Qin Zhen immediately denied: "I didn't stop you from seeing the Queen. I just felt that the Queen was still ill. You..."
"You're hiding something from me!" Xiao Jue interrupted her and said almost firmly.
Xiao Jue turned around and walked towards the tent where the queen was, obviously not intending to listen to Qin Zhen's words.
Qin Zhen was stunned, stretched out her hand to hold Xiao Jue's sleeve, and said softly: "You, don't go..."
Xiao Jue stared at her deeply.
Qin Zhen felt guilty when she saw it, and finally said with all her might, "You, you must not go to the hillside in the southwest corner. It's windy and there are many mosquitoes there... Aren't you going to see the queen? You go ahead."
After that, he turned around and left regardless of Xiao Jue's expression.
Manman watched the whole process without saying a word and followed Qin Zhen away.
Xiao Jue frowned tightly and strode towards the queen's tent.
But as soon as he entered the door, he found that the tent was empty and the queen was not inside at all. When he asked the palace attendant, he was completely confused and did not know where the queen had gone.
Xiao Jue was silent for a moment, then suddenly remembered Qin Zhen's words, turned around and walked towards the hillside in the southwest corner.
As soon as he turned the corner, he heard the queen's voice: "The prince is already useless, and now your father is even more displeased. You have to work hard and take this opportunity to replace him. Do you understand?"
