Shengjing Noble

Chapter 690: Introverted and Shy

Fu Muyin was slightly stunned, thinking that she had seen it wrong, and couldn't help but look at it again carefully.

But the man's expression changed and he returned to his cold and arrogant look.

He looked at the slightly red face quietly, and suddenly asked: "Did the princess drink?"

Fu Muyin hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "I had a drink... just one."

"It just so happens that the emperor has some excellent wine here, why don't you try it?"

After she finished speaking, she winked and the maid beside her walked over to pour her wine.

Fu Mingchuan watched and made no attempt to stop him.

After all, it is a matter between two children. As an elder, he has introduced and brought them together, and the next step is for them to get along with each other on their own.

Fu Muyin did not refuse the glass of wine. Just as she picked it up, she heard the person on the other side suddenly speak.

"Last time, the princess said that she was very happy to see me. Now she is drinking and chatting happily with other men. It seems that for the princess, happy meetings are quite frequent."

These words were uncomfortable to hear. She frowned and glared at him, obviously telling lies to the emperor.

It seems that the relationship between the two of them has not reached the point where they have to remain chaste for each other, right?

Why would he be unhappy that she was going to see a play and have a meal with her friends?

"Yeah, I have a lot of friends, there's nothing I can do about it." Fu Muyin replied coldly, not intending to give him a good look.

Fu Mingchuan saw that the atmosphere between the two did not seem like a romantic conversation, but was clearly filled with gunpowder.

So he quickly warmed her up: "Xiaoyin is someone I have watched grow up since she was a child. This girl is actually very introverted and has always been rather shy."

Jing Hanying chuckled: "The princess doesn't look... like a shy person."

Fu Muyin frowned and was about to retort when she saw him stand up first, bowing with his hands clasped and speaking respectfully.

"Your Majesty, my mother is ill in bed and needs my care, so I will take my leave first."

Fu Mingchuan nodded awkwardly: "Okay, then you..."

He suddenly thought of something and changed the subject, "Xiaoyin is going to Su Shengming's place, you can take her there on the way."

The emperor made the request, and Jing Hanying had no choice but to agree.

"According to the order."

Fu Muyin was about to get up and leave, then stood at the door and turned back and said, "Brother, please remove those secret guards. I am a woman and I need some privacy."

Fu Mingchuan was a little embarrassed: "Okay, I was not thoughtful enough. I will let them withdraw first, and then find a suitable female secret guard for you as soon as possible."

"Thank you, my royal brother. Mu Yin will take his leave."

After saying that, she turned and left.

……

When Fu Muyin reacted, she was already sitting in the same carriage with Jing Hanying.

For a moment, the atmosphere was awkward and subtle. Neither of them spoke, and the situation became very stiff.

Fu Muyin spoke first: "Thank you, General, for sending me off."

Jing Hanying sat upright with his arms folded across his chest and his eyes closed, and said quietly, "The princess's thanks don't seem to be sincere."

"…So what do you want?"

"Heh~ How about treating me to a meal as well?"

She was speechless and choked. For the first time, she hated the fact that there were secret guards everywhere around her and she had no privacy at all.

It was clearly her father who placed her and her brother with him to protect their safety before he left, but now she reports everything to the emperor.

Although the emperor brother also considered her safety, the overly strict control only made her feel suffocated.

Fu Muyin lifted the curtain of the carriage and pointed forward.

"Just let me go at the next intersection."

"what ever."

Sure enough, the carriage stopped where she pointed.

Fu Muyin jumped out of the car decisively and walked into the alley without looking back, not even bothering to say goodbye.

Looking at the girl's hurried back, a hint of interest flashed in Jing Hanying's eyes.

I thought she was a boring good girl, but I didn't expect she was so rebellious at heart.

It's getting more and more interesting.

Not long after Fu Muyin walked into the alley, she suddenly saw a dark shadow flash past in front of her and hide behind the sundries nearby.

She was stunned for a moment, and the scene of her being followed that night flashed quickly through her mind.

Could it be... that she was really being targeted by a bad guy?

While she was hesitating, she vaguely saw the dark shadow gradually emerging from the debris along the wall, and then slowly moving towards her.

not good!

It's really directed at her!

Almost subconsciously, Fu Muyin turned around and ran desperately towards the entrance, and the sound of footsteps chasing her was immediately heard behind her.

She was so flustered that she had to open her mouth and yell, "Help! Jing Hanying, save me!"

Subconsciously, she thought Jing Hanying was still at the entrance of the alley, so she called his name.

The moment she rushed out of the alley, she saw a carriage that gave her a sense of safety.

The footsteps behind him also stopped abruptly.

Jing Hanying got off the carriage when he heard the noise. Fu Muyin rushed directly to him, holding his arms tightly with her little hands, her eyes full of fear and anxiety.

"There are bad guys! There are bad guys following me... It was the same last time and the time before. They must be targeting me. General Jing, help me!"

"Bad guy?"

Jing Hanying frowned and gave a wink to his followers.

The guards immediately rushed into the alley, and came back after a while, but found nothing.

After all, it was too dark and the alley was very deep, so it was not easy to catch the man in a short time.

Fu Muyin said she would never dare walk alone at night again, so she pulled Jing Hanying's arm and shook it.

"Help them to the end. General Jing, can you send me back to my uncle's house?"

"it is good."

Jing Hanying didn't say much, just glanced at her lightly, then held her cold hand and led her towards the depths of the alley.

Strangely, Fu Muyin no longer felt afraid.

Even though I was just being held by his hand, I felt an indescribable sense of security.

……

When Fu Muyin arrived at the residence, she found out that her uncle and aunt had not returned, but had gone to her grandmother's house and said they would not be back.

Because the place where Su Shengming lived was not very big, his third aunt was usually in charge of the housekeeping. There were also two maids to clean the place, and no other servants.

But no matter how small the place is, it is still a house with three entrances and three exits.

At night, the place was deserted and Fu Muyin didn't dare to stay there.

But if I go to my grandmother's house now, I'm afraid I'll make her worry.

Jing Hanying looked around the yard and suddenly found an unusual scratch on the top of the backyard wall.

He turned and looked at Fu Muyin: "Has this trace been there before?"

How would she know? She had to ask the two maids next to her.

"I have never seen..."

"It seems like there wasn't any yesterday."

Jing Hanying frowned: "It looks like the mark of a hook. It was probably left by someone who sneaked in."

"What? You mean the bad guy is here?"

Fu Muyin suddenly became nervous and quickly shrank behind him, looking around the small yard anxiously.

Jing Hanying ordered: "Come here, search inside and outside!"

"Yes!"

The guards began to search Su Shengming's home, but after searching everywhere, they still couldn't find anyone else.

It seemed that the man had run away before they came back.
