Chapter 2074: Admitting Fault (4)

"Prince?" Peng Jing looked at Qi Jinghao; naturally, she didn’t want to leave.

"Since there’s nothing more, I’ll escort you back." Qi Jinghao smiled, then looked at Yunxiong, "You should rest well first; I’ll come to accompany you tomorrow."

Yunxiong smiled and nodded, "Prince should spend time with your sister tonight."

Upon hearing this, Peng Jing was quite relieved.

However, Yang Ruxin frowned; when a woman constantly seeks a man’s affection, she’s probably not far from being abandoned.

After dinner, Yunxiong returned to her own quarters.

"Princess, that Consort is really shameless..."

"Shut up." Yunxiong’s face suddenly darkened, interrupting Chui Zhu, "Do you know where you are? How dare you speak recklessly?"

"Your servant knows she’s wrong." Chui Zhu hurriedly knelt down.

"You are my closest maids, so remember this well: be cautious with your words and actions, otherwise, even I won’t be able to protect you." Yunxiong strictly glanced at Chui Zhu and Jade.

The two maids quickly bowed in agreement.

In another room in a different building, Yang Ruxin and Gu Qingheng were also talking: "The people by our side can be trusted, so there must be others outside monitoring us. Since we didn’t disguise ourselves intentionally in the Prefectural City, it’s normal to be discovered."

"If he has no ambition, then why monitor us?" Gu Qingheng nodded, "Moreover, on the surface, he’s asking for my help, but if he truly has the intention, can’t he use it to establish a good relationship with us?"

"That’s probably what he means." Yang Ruxin touched her chin, "So, Yunxiong is entirely a tool for the King of Han."

"Forget it, let’s not worry about it." Gu Qingheng suddenly waved his hand to extinguish the candle, "It’s a beautiful night; why waste it talking about them? Better to do something meaningful."

"What’s meaningful?" Yang Ruxin didn’t react immediately.

"You’ll know soon enough..." Gu Qingheng said, then suddenly lifted her and placed her on the bed.

"You..." Unfortunately, she never had the chance to finish her words, as they were all swallowed by the other party.

Prefectural City, New Garden.

Qi Jinghao personally escorted Peng Jing back to her courtyard, entered the room, and dismissed the servants.

Peng Jing was in a cheerful mood because this man liked her. Tonight...

"Peng Jing, haven’t I warned you?" Qi Jinghao sat on a chair, playing with a white tea cup, speaking casually. Although Yang Ruxin had said something brilliant, he simply couldn’t believe Peng Jing was possessed.

"What?" Peng Jing’s smile instantly froze.

"I warned you not to be clever, nor to question my decisions." Qi Jinghao said, setting down the cup and stood, raising his hand to pinch her chin, "You treated my words as mere wind in your ears."

"No..." Peng Jing attempted to shake her head, but his grip was too strong, rendering her immobile.

"Stomachache? Do you think I’m a fool?" Qi Jinghao’s face even twisted slightly.

"You..." Peng Jing suddenly got angry, forcefully pushing away his grip, "How dare you question me? It was Yang Ruxin who diagnosed it. You know my relationship with her, if it weren’t true, why would she lie for me?"

Qi Jinghao squinted slightly; indeed, he knew the relationship between Yang Ruxin and Peng Jing, which was indeed not good.
