There is a starving ghost in Qingyun Temple

The leader of the black-clad guards on the other side frowned.

They had just carefully checked the courtyard where the prince was, and found no trace of him at all.Moreover, there are also members of the family guarding each courtyard, and it is unknown where the prince came from.

"Your Majesty, the princess has already gone to bed tonight. Why don't we meet again tomorrow -"

"Huh?!" Li Yun squinted and saw clearly the crowds of people coming in front of the yard, "A-Yuan, what is this, why are there so many practitioners coming to the front of the yard?!"

As soon as these words came out, the guards on both sides were a little confused as to what to do.

A Yuan reacted and knew that the Crown Prince would naturally support the princess, so she spoke with a bit more confidence: "When I come back to the Crown Prince, these are the guards in the Duke's mansion. They said there was some kind of thief in the mansion. I want one." A courtyard was searched. But it was already midnight, and the princess had already changed her clothes and rested. It would be inappropriate to let these outsiders enter the courtyard rashly, which would damage the reputation of the princess. I also ask the prince to do it for you. Let’s have a word with the princess.”

Li Yun raised his eyebrows, and with a loud bang, the wine bottle in his hand fell to the ground and the wine splashed.

"Bold and cunning! Princess Zhaoqing has such a noble status, how can you, a group of humble servants, just ask for permission?! Why don't you get out?!"

The leading bodyguard in black lowered his eyes, unwilling to have a direct conflict with the prince.

He bowed and apologized, led a group of guards behind him and left in a hurry.Now that the whereabouts of Prince Jingbei have been found, the mission has been completed.

A Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly glanced at the husband who was still handsome despite being drunk and tilted in front of him, and said delicately: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for rescuing A Yuan and all the servants. A Yuan is very grateful."

"Yes." Li Yun looked back at the dark side room with an unclear expression.

A Yuan couldn't understand what he meant, so she pursed her lips and lowered her voice and continued: "Fortunately, the prince is here. If those guards with unknown origins really break in, the slaves will definitely be severely punished. Too much ,Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Well, you're welcome. There was a thief in the mansion tonight. Ah Yuan, you and the other guards should be more careful. The princess is of noble body and auspicious, so we can't let the princess get frightened and injured for no reason."

A Yuan was startled, and she was extremely surprised. It turned out that the prince still remembered her name.

"Yes, A Yuan would like to comply with the prince's instructions."

Li Yun waved his hand, turned around and left unsteadily.

A Yuan kept looking at his retreating back, her beautiful eyes shining with so much tenderness and sweetness.

She ordered her guards to lock the courtyard door and carefully checked all parts of the courtyard. After confirming that there was nothing wrong, she quietly returned to the house after a while.

"Why did it take you so long to come back?!" Princess Zhaoqing's extremely impatient reproach suddenly sounded in the room. Although the volume was suppressed, there were still several sharp and harsh reverberations.

"Returning to the princess, the Crown Prince has just kindly asked the slaves to guard the yard and take good care of the princess. Therefore, the slaves did not dare to delay and carefully inspected the whole yard. After some delay, the princess was asked to calm down."

Guo Ningzhi immediately stopped being angry when she mentioned Li Yun, the crown prince of Jingbei, whom she had eyes for and longed for in her heart.

She cleared her throat and said with satisfaction: "That's it. Since it's the prince's order, you really have to do your best. A Yuan, I was woken up by those idiot guards just now. I can't sleep anymore. Please give me a slap lamp."

A Yuan moved quickly and lit the candle in just a few clicks, and carefully helped the princess stand up in front of the bed. "A Yuan, tell me quickly, what happened just now? Why did the prince suddenly appear?" Guo Ningzhi grabbed A Yuan's sleeve, impatiently.

"Princess, don't be anxious." A Yuan very considerately took a small bowl of warm water and handed it to her considerately, "Princess, please take a sip of warm water to moisten your throat first, and I will speak slowly to you -"

As Guo Ningzhi listened to what had just happened, the smile on her pink face grew thicker, adding a bit of the shyness that a young lady can't hide when meeting her lover.

"So, Prince Brother, he still cares about me. After I return to Beijing, I will spend more time begging Aye and my aunt. Maybe my aunt will-"

A Yuan was startled, raised her hand and gently covered her mouth, and said anxiously: "Princess, you can't talk nonsense anymore. Last time, Princess, you only briefly mentioned your marriage to Prince Jingbei. , the Queen Mother got furious on the spot and didn’t summon you for seven consecutive days?!”

When she thought of the most powerful Queen Mother Guo in the world, her eldest brother, whom her aunt disliked so much, she immediately lost her good mood.

"A Yuan, why do you think he is the heir apparent?! He just lost a battle, and it's not like he lost territory and gold. Why can't aunt forgive him?!"

"Princess, please don't say these things nonsense. If heard by outsiders, it will be a capital crime for treason. What the Queen Mother cares about most is the common people in the world and the peace and prosperity of the country."

"Hmph! If I, Princess Zhaoqing, are gone this week, I don't know how many troubles will be caused. Besides, the world and the court are just worried about my aunt, but I am not worried."

A Yuan pursed her lips and said tentatively, "However, based on what I have seen, the princess does not need to be so discouraged."

"Oh?!" Guo Ningzhi finished drinking the warm water and raised her eyes to look at A Yuan, who was looking down on her side.

She likes A Yuan because A Yuan can always think about things for her, make suggestions for her, and can always talk about her thoughts.This A Yuan, the more I look at it, the more I like it!
"Then tell me quickly and listen, why bother with it!"

"Although the Empress Dowager is quite prejudiced against the Crown Prince, the saint is kind and generous. She has always praised the Crown Prince and given him high hopes. This servant heard about the battle at Helan Mountain four years ago, and the saint also interceded for the Crown Prince."

"That's true." Guo Ningzhi shook her head helplessly, "But my eldest cousin is kind-hearted and filial, and he has never disobeyed my aunt. I just hope that the saint can cure the chronic illness quickly and live a long life!" "

"Princess, don't worry, Duke Ding is still here. Duke Ding loves you the most, Princess."

"That's right, I, Aye, have always loved me the most."

"If things go badly, the Grand Imperial Master will definitely stand by your side, the Princess. The Grand Imperial Master loves you so much. It seems that the marriage between the Princess and the Crown Prince is still unknown!"

Guo Ningzhi nodded frequently, feeling very satisfied with her words.Even if the Queen Mother and the Saint object, or even if Aye objects, the Grand Master will definitely stand by her side and support her.

In the study of Duke Guo of Qin.

In front of the study, a large group of black-clad guards knelt, everyone trembling and frightened.
