Marshal, your vest is off

Chapter 23
Moreover, as a prince, he refused to live a life of pampering, and instead went to the border to earn merit in the most dangerous and stupid way. This kind of courage is not something ordinary people can have.

Therefore, Cheng Qing has always admired Zhao Wuyuan very much.

But now the person she admired the most was about to become her opponent. Even if it was just for a short time, she felt uncomfortable.

This person is one of her best friends.

Thinking that he was setting him up, Cheng Qing really wanted to rush up and tell him clearly at this moment.

But she can't!

"Sister, just trust me. It's weird for me that the Fourth Emperor protects me like this. It seems like I'm always being watched by him." Zhao Ningbai was very unhappy. This imperial brother had always liked to control her since she was a child. Within the scope of his sight, she just felt uncomfortable.

"He is also worried about your safety." Cheng Qing said.

"I know that Brother Four Emperors dotes on me the most, just like Brother Cheng dotes on his sister. The only difference is that Brother Cheng obeys his sister's words. Brother Four Emperors always treats me as a little kid." Zhao Ningbai pouted and said unhappily.

Cheng Qing wanted to laugh. She had been fighting wits and courage with her brother since she was a child. He was weak and he was no match for her in either literary or martial arts. It was strange that he could control her after all these years.

But then again, Zhao Wuyuan was standing outside and had to think of a way.

……

It was night again, and Zhao Ningbai, who had been playing with Cheng Qing all day, had already fallen asleep.

Cheng Qing left the room.

Zhao Wuyuan, who was guarding outside, saw her coming out and was curious, so he followed her.

Of course he was not here to protect Zhao Ningbai. With so many imperial guards guarding the Taishi Mansion, it would be impossible for those killers to come in. The reason why he did this was just to make an excuse to stay in the Taishi Mansion.

The reason why he stayed was Cheng Qing.

Too many things happened to her recently, and they were so weird that he couldn't help but become curious about her.

Moreover, Cheng Qing and Cheng Yue look so much alike. The whiter Cheng Yue is and the more delicate his appearance is, that's what Cheng Qing looks like.

The slender figure walked straight ahead without stopping, and she didn't know where she was going.

Cheng Qing walked to Cheng Yue's door and knocked on his door.

The person in the back room was not sleeping, and the door was opened after a while.

Cheng Yue was a little surprised when he saw it was her, and asked: "Sister, why are you coming here to me when you don't sleep in the middle of the night?"

Cheng Qing whispered: "There is someone behind me."

Hearing this, Cheng Yue reflexively wanted to raise his head, but was pulled back by Cheng Qing.

"Don't look." Cheng Qing reminded in a low voice.

Cheng Yue reacted quickly, and said with a smile immediately: "Could it be that you couldn't fall asleep, so you came to play chess with your brother again? Not today, my brother hasn't bought a chess board yet."

Cheng Qing frowned slightly and said, "Brother, I'm not here to play chess with you. I really can't sleep, and I can't figure out many things."

"Oh? Is there anything else that even a smart sister like me can't figure out?" Cheng Yue teased.

"It was Prince An and Princess An who adopted us as their adopted sons and daughters. They only met us once and recognized us as their sons and daughters. Isn't it a little too hasty?" Cheng Qing's eyes rolled. Zhao Wuyuan was now hiding in the dark. , I don’t know where she is, I can’t see her expression.

King Anhe?Adopted son and adopted daughter?Cheng Yue thought for a moment and figured out that she was here for Zhao Ningbai.

There are only a few things that can worry Cheng Qing. Since An and Wang are mentioned, and children are mentioned, there will be no one except Zhao Ningbai who came to Taishi Mansion today and said he wanted to stay for a short time.

"Qing'er, I think you just think too much. Come in and talk. It's cold outside." Cheng Yue let her in.

Cheng Qing nodded and followed him into the house.

During the short time they entered, they communicated quickly and quietly.

Cheng Qing: "Ning'er's stay here is an opportunity. We need to avoid Zhao Wuyuan." Cheng Yue: "How?"

Cheng Qing: "Human skin mask."

Cheng Yue: "I'll do it tomorrow."

Zhao Wuyuan watched the two of them go in, but did not close the door. After thinking for a while, he quietly ducked under the window and eavesdropped on their conversation.

The subsequent conversation between Cheng Yue and Cheng Qing was all about their adopted son and adopted daughter. It was boring, and at most they said some emotional words.

Not long after, Cheng Qing came out again.

As if he had figured it out, he went back.

Although Zhao Wuyuan doesn't mind being a gentleman in private, this is the first time he has failed.

Could it be that he was wrong?

There is nothing wrong with Cheng Qing, is this all just a coincidence?

But is this possible?
Why did those killers come to kill Cheng Qing instead of killing Master Cheng?There is also a mystery in this.

The assassins caught last time didn't know anything. After questioning for a long time, they didn't get any answers.

The problems here are getting bigger and bigger. Should he go find Xiuyuan?

Zhao Wuyuan thought for a moment and pulled away.

The next day, Cheng Qing was still playing with Zhao Ningbai in the house. Bai Xiuyuan came to look for her, but she was nowhere to be found.

It wasn't until the afternoon that another imperial edict came and she had to go out.

This imperial edict was still brought by Eunuch Jiang.

The battle array was huge, and many reward items filled the courtyard.

The Cheng family knelt on the ground and listened to Eunuch Jiang pinching his throat and reciting a long list of praises for Cheng Yue and Cheng Qing, the master of Cheng, and finally mentioned the matter of An and Wang adopting Cheng Yue and Cheng Qing as their adopted son and daughter. I agreed, and even the title and seal were issued.

Cheng Qing was granted the title of Princess Qinghe, and Cheng Yue was granted the title of Prince Yu.

This is a unique honor for the prince's children. They didn't expect that they would still have a title. Cheng Qing and Cheng Yue were a little surprised.

But fortunately, neither of them are married, so they don't need to move out of the Taishi Mansion.

When they get married in the future, they will have their own mansion.

The whole family of three thanked him and stood up.

Eunuch Jiang read out all the things the emperor had given him again. He read Cheng Yue's at first, and Cheng Qing's later.

When they heard that there were obviously a lot more rewards in the back than in the front, everyone present became confused.

Even Cheng Qing narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling a little bad in his heart.

However, no matter what the emperor's intention is, she is still in the period of filial piety. Even if he is the emperor, he has to put this thought to rest.

After accepting the imperial edict and receiving the reward, it was time to go to the palace to thank him.

Before that, Cheng Qing had to go out of the mansion and go to Prince Anhe's mansion with Cheng Yue to kneel down and kowtow to his parents.

mother?
Thinking of this word, Cheng Qing's eyes moved slightly.

Back in the house, Cheng Qing burned incense and took a bath. With the help of the maid, she redressed herself, put on a dress, and did a dignified girlish bun. She inserted a few unique hairpins on her temples. It was simple and made her look beautiful. His face looked better again.

　It’s even later today, try to be earlier tomorrow, thank you all for voting, I love you, don’t stop ~ Good night, good night
