Chapter 50 It was her
For women with integrity, Qin Yan treats them differently.

In addition, on the way back to the mansion, Gu Qiying repeatedly explained why she didn't dare to yell. It was nothing more than caring about the prince's face, and even more caring about King Mu's face. She only wanted to die to sacrifice her lover if she was really humiliated.

But it was enough for Qin Yan to hear such words.

He is not used to making out with women outside the dormitory, even if they are in the same carriage, even if Gu Qiying is crying like pear blossoms, even if he feels pity for her in his heart, he just patted her hand: "Don't do it in the future." Walking alone, today is fortunately in broad daylight. If something happens, I will be blamed."

"The concubine knows. The concubine lost her jade ring and was anxious, so she went to look for it. After all, it was the concubine who didn't dress properly when going out, which caused such a thing."

"Just get it back." Qin Yan said lightly.

"My concubine didn't notice it at all. It was a woman who came to remind me that I found out that the jade was lost."

Qin Yan suddenly became alert: "She also pointed out the place to you?"

"Yes."

"Which family's female relative?"

"The concubine doesn't recognize her, she's born face to face."

Qin Yan's face became more serious, and Gu Qiying felt guilty: "What's the matter, Your Highness..."

"I'm afraid you've fallen into other people's ways."

Qin Yan felt that he could probably guess what was going on. Someone wanted to use this to drive a wedge between him and the prince. It seemed that in their eyes, he and the prince were still on the same side.

Gu Qiying also guessed a bit, and looked at Qin Yan with wide eyes: "I didn't cause trouble for Your Highness, did I?"

Seeing her self-reproach, Qin Yan comforted, "It's okay, don't mention it to anyone when you go back."

Gu Qiying nodded pitifully and blinked her eyes tearfully.

But Qin Yan's heart moved, the feeling of deja vu came again.He had spotted it several times in Cui Haitang, and now, he found it in the expression of Gu Qiying who was similar to Cui Haitang.

As soon as he returned to the mansion, he immediately found Chu Baichuan and told him about the matter.Chu Baichuan shook his head with a smile: "Oh, His Highness Prince Qing is so vigorous in his actions."

Qin Yan said: "I'm afraid it was the crown prince who made the mark first. King Qing will never miss an opportunity, and he must make full use of it."

Chu Baichuan said: "The prince is absurd and powerless, King Qing doesn't leave any room for it, it's really not..."

"Bai Chuan, what do you think of Mrs. Gu?" Qin Yan interrupted him suddenly.

Chu Baichuan was startled, the last time King Mu mentioned the wives and concubines in the back house to him, it was Madam Cui.He also knew that his daughter was close to Cui Haitang. Since she lifted the ban, Chu Yu has rushed into the mansion to meet with her. Based on this relationship alone, he can't appear to be partial to Mrs. Cui.

"I've only seen this once or twice from a distance, and I really don't understand it. Where do I start?"

"I heard that her portrait was the last to be handed over to the palace. It was already past the selection period. I don't know who Mr. Gu contacted, and it was added."

This tone sounded suspicious, completely different from the previous description of Cui Haitang.Chu Baichuan roughly knew something in his heart.After all, His Royal Highness Mu Wang has a different affection for Mrs. Cui.

"If you want to choose a side concubine, it's not surprising that ladies all over the world flock to it. Maybe Mr. Gu got the news too late."

Qin Yan nodded: "Although the possibility is very small, it can only be explained in this way."

Chu Baichuan asked: "Your Highness has never mentioned the matter of the back house, why did you suddenly ask about this?"

Qin Yan walked to the desk, and the Nuanyu chess piece that he played against Haitang last time was placed in a conspicuous place. He picked up one, and the tentacles were warm and delicate, just like Haitang's cheeks.

"When I look at her and Mrs. Cui, I often have a sense of deja vu. But I'm sure I haven't seen them before, especially Mrs. Cui. She lived in the south of the Yangtze River since she was a child, and it is impossible to meet each other. So, this confuses me."

Chu Baichuan thought to himself, it really has something to do with Mrs. Cui.

"Although I have only seen them from a distance, I also heard that the side concubine is very similar to Mrs. Cui. It is not surprising that they look like people. Maybe you have seen other people who resemble them. Since you can't remember , that’s all, don’t worry too much.”

Qin Yan thought about it, and he should be relieved, and said, "Yes, put it aside, maybe when I don't think hard, the answer will suddenly come out by itself."

Chu Baichuan smiled: "Your Highness once had an epiphany, but now I look forward to getting it by chance."

Qin Yan suddenly looked at Chu Baichuan seriously: "Baichuan, you reminded me, maybe, it's right in front of me by chance."

Chu Baichuan was taken aback for a moment: "Remind me what?"

"My epiphany. The epiphany when I was 11 years old. That little girl has such an expression!"

"Little girl?" Chu Baichuan was puzzled, what little girl, this part was not mentioned last time.

Qin Yan was a little flustered, a rare flustered one: "The time I left the palace, I wandered outside for three days. In order not to let others see that I escaped from the palace, I even stole the clothes that were hanging outside. When I was tired and hungry, I stood in front of the bun shop and swallowed my saliva. A servant took a little girl to the street. The little girl saw my embarrassment and asked the servant to buy me a bun..."

Chu Baichuan was a little shocked, just a steamed stuffed bun when he fainted from hunger, let His Royal Highness Mu Wang remember for so long, this little girl from He Fangren's family has such great strength.

"Your Highness's heart of gratitude really goes a long way."

Qin Yan also recognized it, glanced at Chu Baichuan, and said nothing.

There are some things that he didn't say, but he kept them in his heart for ten years.

On that street corner ten years ago, he devoured the steamed stuffed bun, only to think that the royal chef in the palace could not make such a fragrant and delicious steamed stuffed bun.

Before he could wipe his mouth, the little girl came over again and quietly slipped him a bag of copper coins.Qin Yan still remembers the little girl leaning into his ear and whispering: "This is my New Year's money for two years. I wanted to save up and secretly buy sweets. Although I was a bit reluctant, you are so pitiful, so I'll give it to you."

Qin Yan has never met such a little girl who expressed his unbearable and reluctance so frankly.

He asked her, "What's your name? When I have money, I'll return it to you."

The little girl shook her head: "Mother said, you can't just tell others the girl's name." Then, she waved goodbye to him.

Qin Yan originally wanted to go back to the palace after playing for a day, but because of her, he didn't go back to the palace.Curled up on the corner of the street for the whole night, and the next day, I actually waited for the little girl again.

The little girl had apparently come to him too.

"You really didn't go home, did you sleep on the street all night?"

Qin Yan shook his head, not wanting to admit that he was freezing here all night just to see her.

"After I went back, I thought about it. I was still worried about you. I slipped out while my mother was out."

"Your house is not far away, is it?" Qin Yan remembered that she had withdrawn the lucky money not long ago yesterday.

The little girl was a little sullen: "Why do you keep asking me? Now I'm asking you!"

She is such a kind, but quick-tempered little girl.
