"I can understand Miss Qianqian's mood." Yu Fengjin leaned back and began to speak in an official tone:
"But you should also understand that Liu Changting is a fugitive. He had offended many people before he was imprisoned, and now he is a wanted criminal in the court. I, the king, can keep him safe at great risk.
The reason why you two are not allowed to meet is for your safety, and this is what your senior brother wants. Miss Qianqian, it is better not to be willful, lest you endanger your senior brother's life!"
After hearing these words, although Mu Qianqian was reluctant, she still sat down again.
She bit her lip and murmured in a low voice: "Then...when can I see him? I really miss him."
"Don't worry, when the storm calms down, we will definitely let you brother and sister meet!" That gentle expression finally appeared on Yu Fengjin's face.
Mu Qianqian picked up the wine glass and took a big sip before pouting and muttering: "Okay, for Lu Ning's sake, I will believe you just once. Who asked me to owe her a favor..."
Yu Fengjin's brows twitched slightly: "Did she say goodbye to you in person?"
Mu Qianqian stared at him with rounded eyes, and suddenly showed a sly smile: "Oh! If you ask like this, it means that Lu Ning has left you without saying goodbye again! It seems that you two have quarreled again!"
Yu Fengjin pursed her lips tightly and pondered without answering, seemingly unconvinced by the statement.
Mu Qianqian held her chin in her hands and looked at him with a smile: "My lord, do you not want Lu Ning and that prince to leave? Are you afraid that she will never come back?".br
Yu Fengjin picked up the tea cup and took a sip, keeping her lips tightly pursed and silent.
Mu Qianqian seemed to have discovered something interesting. She put her hands on her hips and laughed, "I didn't expect it! The omnipotent and aloof prince would actually be so overwhelmed at times!"
"This Lu Ning is really powerful. He can charm both the prince and the prince at the same time! If I had this ability, I would have made a fortune long ago!" Mu Qianqian winked at him mischievously.
After saying that, she picked up the chopsticks again, took a few bites of vegetables and stuffed them into her mouth.
Yu Fengjin looked at her gloating look, smiled bitterly and shook his head. Then he took out a banknote from his arms, slowly unfolded it and waved it in front of her.
"One...ten thousand taels!" Mu Qianqian's mouth was filled with food, but she still couldn't help but exclaim loudly. Her eyes were as big as bells, staring at the banknote without blinking, hungry.
Her words attracted the attention of the surrounding drinkers, who all looked at the two of them curiously.
Yu Fengjin immediately put away the banknote, put her index finger to her lips, and said "shh" to her.
Mu Qianqian quickly chewed a few mouthfuls, swallowed the food in her mouth, and then leaned forward and said, "Your Majesty, are those banknotes meant for me?"
Yu Fengjin put the banknotes on the table and said casually: "I have a lot of such banknotes. If Miss Qianqian likes it, you can take it..."
"Really?!" Mu Qianqian's face suddenly beamed, and she reached out to take it, but she saw Yu Fengjin quickly holding down the banknote with quick eyes and looking at her with a smile.
Mu Qianqian's whole body trembled, then she crossed her arms and asked, "I knew you weren't so kind! After all, what on earth do you want me to do?"
"What the girl said is serious." Yu Fengjin took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "It is not convenient for me to leave the city, so I just want to ask the girl to do a small favor."
Mu Qianqian rolled her eyes and smiled as if she suddenly understood: "Oh, I understand. You want me to destroy the relationship between Lu Ning and the Crown Prince, right?"
Immediately, she raised her head and said disdainfully: "As the saying goes, it is better to destroy a temple than break up a marriage. I will not go back and do such a thing that harms others and is not beneficial to myself! After all, I am an upright heroine.
ah!"
"Is it true that you are hurting others and not benefiting yourself?" Yu Fengjin raised an eyebrow, took out several thousand taels of silver notes, and placed them on the table one by one.
"I just want you to catch up with them and protect Lu Ning all the way. Then you can get this huge reward. You can consider whether it is worth it or not."
Said,
He picked up the tea cup and drank tea slowly, looking very patient.
Looking at the generous banknotes one after another, Mu Qianqian swallowed several mouthfuls of saliva, feeling extremely greedy.
Although she is now with Yan Rong, most of Yan Rong's money is spent on living and drinking, and recently she has paid off Hua Fangyi's debt, so there is not much left.
Originally, she could be self-sufficient and have enough food and clothing. However, Yan Rong had an appointment with Hua Fangyi. Once she returned to her old profession, she would be kicked out. Moreover, Yan Rong also kept an eye on her and prohibited her from stealing things.
Therefore, her life is not much better than before.
She hesitantly stretched out one hand towards the banknote, but the other hand forcefully pulled it back.
Taking a deep breath, she raised her eyelids and glared at Yu Fengjin, and asked angrily: "Hey! Don't you feel despicable if you use money to buy emotions like this?"
"I don't think so." A faint smile appeared on Yu Fengjin's lips, her face calm and composed.
Mu Qianqian was so angry that she flattened her mouth, put her hands on her hips and asked, "Aren't you afraid that Lu Ning will be furious when he finds out and will never pay attention to you again?"
Yu Fengjin slowly moved the tea leaves floating on the water with a porcelain lid, and said with a faint smile: "She won't know if you don't tell me."
Mu Qianqian blinked ghostly: "How did you know I wouldn't tell her? I am her sister, not your sister!"
Yu Fengjin left a banknote, put away the other banknotes, and said in a tone that could not resist:
"If you promise me, you can take away this bank note. If you do it well and haven't been discovered, I will give you the rest. So, how much you can get in the end depends on your own performance!"
Although Mu Qianqian was so angry that she was gritting her teeth, but she really had no resistance to the banknote. After hesitating for a moment, she grabbed the only banknote and put it close to her body.
"Huh! I don't think you look like a prince at all, but rather like a businesswoman who smells like copper and is full of bad intentions!" She shouted angrily and made an angry face at him.
However, Yu Fengjin laughed and said calmly: "Thank you for the girl's compliment, I can't bear it! But..."
He put down the tea cup and asked, "What are you going to say to Yan Rong?"
Mentioning Yan Rong, Mu Qianqian dragged her puffy cheeks and muttered: "Miss Yu'er is about to give birth. Yan Rong has been very busy recently and hasn't come to see me for a long time. The proprietress of the Xiaoxiang villa is always on guard."
If you follow me, you might as well continue to wander the world!"
Yu Fengjin pondered for a moment, then took off his waist badge from his waist and handed it to her: "This journey is dangerous, so don't take it lightly! Remember, other things are not important, only your and Lu Ning's lives are the most important! This waist badge
You must recognize it, but you can only show it in times of crisis. You cannot use it casually, let alone use it to bully others."
Mu Qianqian pouted and said angrily: "Okay, so Lu Ning sued you about me!"
Yu Fengjin smiled lightly and said: "You have known her for so long, you should know that she will never betray her friends. This is what I guessed. Remember, if you use this card carelessly, you and your senior brother will never get along with each other again."
The day we meet..."
Mu Qianqian looked at him with a calm face and said these threatening words with a slight smile, and suddenly a chill came over her heart.
She hesitantly took the badge and muttered: "Okay... okay, I promise you."
——Accompanying——
The spring light is bright, and the peach and plum fragrance is fragrant. The light white and deep red flowers are competing to show off their new makeup.
In the octagonal pavilion, a handsome young man stood tall and tall, looking at the distant Shengjing City, playing the flute slowly. The peony flowers around him were in full bloom, and the red petals fell on his snow-white robe, which looked particularly conspicuous.
The melodious and touching flute sound lingers in the Phoenix Mountain with lush vegetation, birds chirping and the fragrance of flowers. Even the passing birds and the foraging deer couldn't help but stop.
"Looking at you, you don't seem to be reluctant to leave! Could it be that you have let go of the Lu Gang Leader?"
A clear voice came from behind, and a man with long eyebrows and sharp eyes walked behind him. His steps were so light that no movement could be heard.
The person who came was none other than Hu Qi's retinue - Baohua.
The sound of the flute stopped suddenly
, Hu Qi smiled slightly and said: "I can't let her go, so I'm waiting for her."
Baohua touched his chin and asked calmly: "How are you sure she will chase you?"
Hu Qi slowly turned around and looked at him, with a slight curl of the corners of her lips: "Since you have nothing to do, do you dare to make a bet with me?"
Baohua laughed and said with interest: "Okay, what do you want to bet on?"
Hu Qi pinched off a budding flower, put it under her nose, sniffed it, and said with a confident smile: "I haven't thought about it yet. Just think of it as you owe me a favor first, and you can't refuse my requests in the future.
"
Baohua crossed his arms and shrugged: "I don't care. Anyway, I have never disobeyed your request."
"That's good..." Hu Qi smiled slightly and seemed to be talking to himself.
"Looking at you, you seem to be reluctant to leave this place?!" Baohua teased.
Hu Qi's eyes darkened, and his tone was somewhat stagnant: "I don't like Shengjing, nor do I like Beiyu. But I haven't been this free for a long time. Moreover, after I go back, I don't have this group of friends that I can make friends with...
"
Baohua stared at his profile and frowned slightly: "Could it be that you have feelings for that female gang leader?"
"I fell in love with her...at first sight," Hu Qi expressed her feelings without any subtlety.
"But... is this really good?" Baohua's face looked a little gloomy: "The path you are going to take is destined to have no good results between you. It is better to cut off the love in time, so as not to make you feel uncomfortable in the future!"
After a moment of silence, Hu Qi's eyes were clear and her thin lips slightly parted: "Baohua, do you really know what kind of path we will take in the future?"
Seeing Hu Qi's hesitation, Baohua blurted out without thinking: "I don't know, and I don't need to know. Since your and my destiny have been arranged for a long time, just follow the orders!"
Hu Qi suddenly turned around and stared at him, asking one by one: "Then if one day, she asks you to kill me, will you do it?"
