Xing Qing had fallen asleep. Not long after she boarded the pleasure boat, Chang Ding appeared in front of her and told her that he would hide in the dark and protect her, so she was no longer afraid.
So she slept very soundly these two nights!
She didn't even notice the door was pushed open with a creak.
The moonlight leaked in through the half-open window and fell on Xingqing's sleeping face.
Wen Tianhao came to the bedside and looked at the girl's delicate eyebrows and eyes. They looked so alike! How could they look so alike when they were sleeping!
She is worthy of being her daughter.
So many women have been arrested over the years, but none of them looks as similar as her!
When Wen Tianhao looked at this face, his body instantly began to boil.
Chang Ding hid in the dark, watching Wen Tianhao approach silently, and calculating in his mind the time it would take for the admiral to control the people outside.
He walked slowly closer, then sat down beside the bed, stretched out his hand, and was about to untie Xingqing's clothes, when suddenly his ears moved, and he quickly changed to shaking Xingqing's shoulders: "Sister Xingqing, I'm here to save you! Wake up and follow me! Sister Xingqing..."
At this moment, a long sword was placed on his neck!
Wen Tianhao didn't dare to move for a moment, and said in panic: "Don't kill me! I am the Prince of Yong'an!"
Xing Qing also woke up at this time. She was dumbfounded when she saw Chang Ding holding the sword on the neck of Prince Yongan: (⊙_⊙)
What's going on
Why is Prince Yongan here
Why did Chang Ding put the sword on his neck
When Prince Yong'an saw her wake up, he looked scared, but pretended to be calm and said, "Sir, please let my sister go. I am the only boy in the family, and my father doesn't like my sister. If you capture me and ask my father for a ransom, you can get more money! My sister is worthless!"
Chang Ding was almost pissed off by Prince Yong'an's hypocritical behavior!
He came out a step early!
I didn't expect his reaction to be so quick!
He clearly wanted to do something wrong, but he made it seem like he was here to save people.
At this time, Xingnong, Chu Tiankuo, and the admiral rushed in.
Xing Qing stood up immediately when she saw Xing Nong and rushed towards her: "Sister! Brother-in-law! You are here!"
She knew her sister would come back to save her.
From childhood to adulthood, every time she was bullied, her sister would appear in time to save her.
Prince Yongan didn't dare to look back. When he heard Xingqing's words, he hurriedly asked, "Did my cousin the Crown Prince bring someone here? Cousin the Crown Prince, this man has captured Xingqing, arrest him quickly!"
Chang Ding almost laughed out of anger. What does it mean to blame someone for something? This is it!
He had never taken the prince of the Grand Princess's Mansion seriously before, but today really broadened his horizons!
Chang Ding took back his sword.
Prince Yongan saw the person at the door and said with surprise, "Great! The Grand Admiral is here too! Grand Admiral, this man has captured Sister Xingqing, you should quickly take him back to the Admiral's Mansion and interrogate him thoroughly!"
Everyone in the room couldn't help but twitch their lips.
Chang Ding bowed to Chu Tiankuo and the other two and said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince, Princess Xingnong, and Grand Admiral."
Prince Yongan was stunned for a moment, looking at Chang Ding with a look on his face, "You are not a bad person? You are here to save my sister too? That's great!"
Everyone: Pretend! You are so good at pretending!
Xing Nong sneered: "Prince Yong'an, do you think we are all fools? Stop pretending! You are the one who captured Xing Qing! Not only did you capture Xing Qing, you also captured many women whose eyes look exactly like Xing Qing's."
Prince Yongan's eyes widened in disbelief. "Princess Xingnong, what are you talking about? How could I possibly capture Sister Xingqing? She's my sister, and I'm here to save her! My parents know about this, if you don't believe me, go back and ask them."
After saying that, he looked at Xing Qing and said anxiously, "Sister, I didn't arrest you. I came to save you and take you away! You have to believe me!"
Xing Qing felt complicated for a moment, and couldn't tell whether what Prince Yongan said was true or false, because he did just shake her awake and said he came to save her.
Although she had just woken up and was still in a daze, she still remembered it.
But it was not normal for Prince Yongan to come to save me!
Chang Ding sneered: "Prince Yong'an, I heard the madam outside calling you master! How do you explain this?"
Chu Yue said calmly, "Prince, do you think you did it perfectly? But the evidence is in the hands of our Jinying Guards! We have also controlled the people outside."
Prince Yongan was still not panicking at all, he just said with a surprised look: "Evidence? What evidence? The Admiral is innocent! I have not arrested any women again, I am here to save Sister Xingqing! As for the madam outside calling me master, it is because the madam knows me, she used to be my mother, the Grand Princess's."
Chu Tiankuo said calmly: "Just admit that he is your man, take Prince Yongan away!"
He is too lazy to watch him perform!
Prince Yongan: "... Cousin Prince, don't you believe me? I'm only here to save my sister!"
Chu Tiankuo didn't even look at him, turned to look at Xingnong, and said softly: "Let's go!"
He is not interested in listening to his cry for injustice, so let him go to the governor's office and cry it out!
Xingnong pulled Xingqing out.
Prince Yongan hurriedly said, "Sister Xingqing, don't you believe me? I was the one who woke you up just now!"
Xing Qing paused for a moment, and then she continued, "I fell asleep just now, and it was indeed the prince who woke me up and said he would save me."
This is a fact, and Xingqing feels that she should talk about it.
As for whether Prince Yong'an came to save her or to arrest her, she was not sure. After all, she and Princess Changle were enemies. He was Princess Changle's brother, so how could he save her? But when she was in the Princess's Mansion, he had never made things difficult for her.
Prince Yongan hurriedly said: "Brother Crown Prince, Grand Admiral, did you hear me? I really came to save Sister Xingqing! I..."
It’s a pity that no matter what he said, Chu Tiankuo, Xingnong and the other two just turned their backs to him.
After Xing Nong and the other two left, Chu Yue said calmly, "Your Highness Yong'an is guilty! If you are wrongly accused, the Jinying Guards will investigate and clear your name!"
After saying this, he signaled his men to take away Prince Yong'an and the people on the pleasure boat.

Xingnong and Chu Tiankuo took Xingqing directly back to Xingyuan.
Xingnong felt relieved when he knew that Xingqing had not suffered any hardship and had no injuries except for the acupuncture points that made her unable to move and speak.
After a night of tossing and turning, it was almost dawn and no one was sleepy. However, Chu Tiankuo had hardly slept last night, so he said, "Let's go back to the room and continue sleeping before dawn!"
Xing Nong was too tired from traveling these days and wanted to sleep, but she was worried about Xing Qing. Knowing that Xing Qing had no doubts about Prince Yongan, she wanted to warn her privately, so she said to Chu Tiankuo: "Brother, Xing Qing and I will sleep, you sleep by yourself!"
Chu Tiankuo, who hadn't slept with his wife in his arms for a long time and was planning to do so, said: "..."
