Nangong Longyan's attention was indeed successfully diverted by the woman. Ning stared at Huangfu Yuqing's little face and said in confusion: "Why are you unable to sleep well recently? Have you had nightmares?"

Faced with the man's concern, Huangfu Yuqing felt a little guilty, but still pretended to be calm and responded lightly: "It's probably because she's nervous when she's about to give birth, but for such a problem, even if the prince invites the imperial physician to come back home, he may not have any problems, so I want to ask the third brother to help him ask Dr. Du. I remember... Isn't the relationship between the third brother and Dr. Du very good?"

"I have been busy looking for clues to help my mother clear her grievances during this period. I haven't been to the Du Mansion for a long time. However, since Qing'er mentioned this, I will accompany you to Du Mansion to try my luck today. However, I can't ensure that Du Zhi will stay honestly in the mansion..." Nangong Longyan nodded and responded, Huangfu Yuqing's clear water eyes flashed a light.

"Stop it! I want to listen to her..." Nangong Longze's cold eyes swept past his subordinates, and Ji Lu stopped saying a word for a moment, but the dark handsome man seemed a little aggrieved.

"What's the matter of the prince so mysterious? Do you want to tell me alone?" Huangfu Yuqing's watery eyes flashed with a strange color, but the corners of her lips raised slightly, and a smile like a flower.

"It's not her." Huangfu Yuqing responded lightly: "It's the prince who is back."

"Impossible. My subordinates thought so at the beginning, but from morning to evening, there was no such coincidence." Ji Lu's voice was a little harder at this moment, and his eyes and tone were extremely firm. It seemed that this conclusion had become a foregone conclusion in his heart. Even if Huangfu Yuqing deliberately guided him, he would not change his thoughts.

"Xiyin, Mingri, you and Feng Ling should not enter the palace. Stay in the mansion and wait for the prince and I to come back." Huangfu Yuqing seemed to have thought of something. If we counted according to time, the confinement order of the eldest prince Nangong Longjing should have expired. If she brought Xiyin and Feng Ling to the palace together, she would be worried that it would cause trouble again and cause unnecessary trouble. It is not difficult for her to see what happened last time that the eldest prince must have a grudge against her and Nangong Longze.

"Miss Su San is going to marry the second prince? She is not with Doctor Du..." Xiyin's eyes were slightly stunned and she said in surprise. She really didn't know about this, but she had met Su Wu before and knew that the person she liked was Doctor Du.13acv.

"Princess, where has Feng Ling been today? We have been back for so long, why haven't we seen her figure yet?" Xiyin's watery eyes kept looking out of the window, muttering in her mouth.

After wandering around the mansion for a day, he had no gains. The housekeeper of the Du Mansion told Nangong Longyan that Du Zhi had left a letter two months ago, saying that he wanted to leave the capital and start living again in a different environment. Since then, he has never appeared again. Mrs. Du was so angry that she fell ill. Doctor Du was also very angry and sent someone out of the capital to search, but there was no clue.

"I asked that girl to go out to buy something. I guess she had sneaked out to play by herself." Huangfu Yuqing took her lightly and gently, and her water eyes also condensed into the direction outside the window from time to time. It was getting late. Not only Feng Ling did not come back, but even Nangong Longze did not return home.

Seeing that the master agreed with his thoughts, Xiyin nodded repeatedly, and his hesitant eyes seemed more firm.

"Prince, don't listen to her nonsense..." Ji Lu's cheeks turned red and black at this moment, and his tongue was so anxious that he also rolled up. When he reported the situation to Nangong Longze, he automatically omitted the words that the woman had said, because not only did he not say that, but he would be worried that it would make the prince laugh. Unexpectedly, Feng Ling said it again in front of Nangong Longze and Huangfu Yuqing. Even if he was anxious, he could do nothing. He just really wanted to figure it out whether this maid knew how to write the word "shame"?

"This...this...this...this...this is not known." Ji Lu once again became abnormal in expression like before.

Huangfu Yuqing's watery eyes flashed a strange look, and then he saw the door open, Feng Ling in front and Ji Lu behind. The two of them slowly walked into the room. They saw that the expression on Ji Lu's face seemed a little unnatural. Compared to him, Feng Ling who was walking in front was much more indifferent.

Huangfu Yuqing cleared her throat unnaturally and glanced at Feng Ling with a point of view. This girl thought she was smart. She knew she was having a big deal now, right? If Nangong Longze really made a decision, it would probably not be so easy to renege on her.

Xiyin was convinced this time. She didn't expect that the master could tell who the person was based on the sound of footsteps. It was so amazing. But then he thought about it, even the prince was back, why hasn't that girl Feng Ling come back yet?

"I ask you, where is the maid named Feng Ling beside you?" Nangong Longze's face was expressionless, and his deep eagle eyes quietly stared at Huangfu Yuqing's little face, not for a moment.

Fortunately, at this moment, Ji Lu suddenly jumped up and said with a dark face: "Prince, my subordinates will never agree."

"Will the princess enter the palace tomorrow?" Xiyin couldn't help but say in confusion. If she remembered correctly, the third prince had said that he would meet Huangfu Yuqing's palace tomorrow, which means that Huangfu Yuqing would enter the palace tomorrow.

"When it comes to the princess, my subordinates think that this girl is suspicious. She has been following her subordinates secretly from this morning to evening, obviously with purpose." Ji Lu spoke very slowly, and her cheeks couldn't help but turn slightly red.

"You...what did you say just now?" Nangong Longze's low voice sounded. Ji Lu has always been his good subordinate. However, his confidant general had no time to take care of his lifelong affairs because he had been busy with his life. Unexpectedly, a woman took the initiative to confess to her love for Ji Lu, saying that she had always had a crush on Ji Lu, and even he was shocked. Gong Yan was pretended to be.

………Susu’s gorgeous dividing line……………

"Twenty-six, how many men and children are at this age? You follow me to fight south and north, and I have also ignored the major events of your life. Just now, this maid is revealing her thoughts to confess to you. Why don't you let me be a month old and make you happy. From now on, there will be women to help you warm the kang. Isn't this good?" Nangong Longze frowned, and his words were not pretentious, and he was just straightforward.

According to Huangfu Yuqing's experience, the only explanation is that Du Zhi is still in the hands of Nangong Longze. The man lied to her last night, but he did not let Du Zhi go at all. Could it be... he killed Dr. Du? Otherwise, why would Du Zhi be detained for so long? What's the use of keeping Du Zhi for him?

Feng Ling saw the prince ask him and took a deep breath. Then he raised his head and lowered his eyes and replied carefully: "I have always been in love with Brother Ji Lu. It happened that when the princess sent me out of the house to buy things, he saw Brother Ji Lu's back when he went out. So he didn't even think about it, so he hurriedly followed him. However... I was a woman after all, so I dared not take the initiative to come forward to chat with him, so I followed him from afar. I felt very happy just looking at him from afar."

"I am twenty-six years old this year." Ji Lu's face looked unnatural, and he lowered his eyes and refused to look directly at his master's sharp eyes.

Nangong Longze's eyes darkened, as if he had a little bit of doubt. Finally, his facial expression relaxed a little bit, and slowly walked to the red sandalwood table to sit down, and said in a low voice: "Ji Lu, bring someone in!"

Du Zhi is just a doctor. It makes no sense that Nangong Longze has been detaining him. Moreover, the man lied about this and told her that he had released Du Zhi long ago.

Hearing this, Xiyin's eyes were slightly stunned, and a hint of suspicion flashed across. How could Huangfu Yuqing know that it was not Feng Ling but Nangong Longze? Just as the woman was confused, the door was pushed open, and Nangong Longze's tall and long figure appeared at the door.

"I... I have always followed Brother Ji Lu from morning to evening." Feng Ling pretended to be shy and drooped his head, but his lively watery eyes trembled with a trembling smile, his voice getting lower and lower: "I have forgotten all the things that I told the princess to tell me to buy things. I deserve to die! Please punish me."

Hearing this, Xiyin suddenly lost her voice, and a complexity flashed through her eyes, as if she was associated with her own thoughts because of Huangfu Yuqing's unintentional words. Thinking of the various things she encountered in recent years, perhaps she could only explain them with the word fate.

"Sometimes people can't fight for fate..." Huangfu Yuqing was quite touched. She thought that she had married Nangong Longze by chance. But now when she thinks about it, she doesn't regret it.

"Tomorrow is the wedding day of the second prince and Miss Su San. My father ordered us to go back to the palace to watch the ceremony." Huangfu Yuqing nodded, but there was still doubt in the depths of her clear water eyes. She was concerned about Du Zhi's whereabouts now.

When Huangfu Yuqing heard this, her heart was secretly shocked. Could it be that Feng Ling was exposed? Otherwise, the man would not have mentioned Feng Ling directly. Although he was uneasy, the woman still pretended to be calm: "I asked the girl to go out to buy something for me early in the morning, but she hadn't come back yet. That girl is very playful. She must have seen something fun and delicious. She forgot the time to come back for a while. Hey! Why did the prince suddenly ask her?"

"Feng Ling, I asked you just now, why didn't you answer?" Huangfu Yuqing pretended to be displeased and spoke coldly. If she was still kind-hearted at this time, let alone Ji Lu, even Nangong Longze would have suspected her head.

Until Huangfu Yuqing and Xiyin had dinner, there was no sign of Feng Ling. Xiyin seemed to be unable to rest in her heart. Perhaps she was looking forward to Feng Ling coming back to talk to her, but the girl had not returned for a long time.

Huangfu Yuqing finally endured it and didn't laugh out loud. At the same time, she looked at the expression on Nangong Longze's face in the side, but saw the gleam of interest in the man's eyes, and felt even more relieved. With her understanding of the man, the man should have believed Feng Ling's words at this moment, not only did not mean blame, but instead seemed excited.

"Can it happen to meet?" Huangfu Yuqing tried to commit crimes on Feng Ling. The girl was instructed by her to follow Ji Lu. I don't know if she overestimated the girl Feng Ling's ability, or if she underestimated Ji Lu's awareness of prevention.

"Prince, what's going on... what's going on? Why did Feng Ling come back with you..." Huangfu Yuqing felt much more at ease when she saw Feng Ling was safe. Seeing that the girl was calm and composed, the matter should not be exposed, but she must have been discovered after following Ji Lu, otherwise she would not have appeared here at this moment.

"Yes." Xiyin nodded and responded, as if she wanted to speak, she hesitated for a while and finally spoke: "Princess, the girl Feng Ling said yesterday that I have gained weight again. I thought about it all night and felt that the paper could not contain the fire after all, so I think... it's better to confess the pregnancy to her."

Perhaps... he really lets Du Zhi go? Huangfu Yuqing hopes that she can believe what the man said, but this idea flashed through her mind, and even she could not convince herself. With her understanding of Du Zhi, since she attempted to elope with Miss Su San, after Nangong Longze released him, the first place he should go should be the Su Mansion, and then he went back to his home. However, now, no matter whether it is the Su Mansion or the Du Mansion, there is no news about him.

The master and servant were thinking about it, and suddenly heard familiar low footsteps coming from the corridor. Xiyin blurted out: "Princess, it should be that girl Feng Ling, right?"

"You probably have to ask her about this..." Nangong Longze frowned, his eyes swept across Feng Ling's face, and he slowly stared at Huangfu Yuqing.

"You go out first, I have something to say to the princess." Nangong Longze's mellow and low voice came. Xiyin didn't have time to think about it, and nodded repeatedly and left the room. There were only men and Huangfu Yuqing left in the room.

Her words made Nangong Longze, who was drinking tea, squirt out all his mouth. Huangfu Yuqing, who was sitting beside the man, couldn't help but smile a sly smile. He thought to himself that this girl Feng Ling was really capable of making nonsense, and even dared to say such things casually. No wonder even a big man like Ji Lu couldn't help but blush.

"Then what purpose do you think... she is with? I really can't think of why she deliberately followed you!" Huangfu Yuqing stared at Ji Lu and asked with a serious look on her face.

Huangfu Yuqing had to pretend to interrogate Feng Ling: "You girl, you asked you to go out to buy things for me early. You have only come back now. Could it be that you have caused some trouble outside and were hit by the prince and the others?"

"Because... because I have always... I have a crush on Brother Ji Lu, so..." Feng Ling drooped her little head and did not look up, but her shoulders trembled slightly. Those who don't know would probably think that this girl was because she was afraid and timid, but she didn't know that she was really because she couldn't help but want to laugh, and her body trembled slightly.

"Since that's the case, I'll betroth you to him." Nangong Longze was indeed intrigued, as if he had to strike while the iron was hot to form a good thing. However, as soon as he said that, the other three were all stunned. Huangfu Yuqing did not expect that he would suddenly make such a decision, and Feng Ling, who had lowered her eyes, became even more stupid, and she was completely stunned. Fortunately, she kept lowering her eyes, and the man could not see the look in her eyes. From the stiffness of her body, she just thought that she was surprised and excited by the news.

Nangong Longze's eyes darkened, and the meaningful funny smile on the corners of his lips suddenly froze, and he condensed toward Ji Lu: "I ask you, how old are you this year?"

It was a waste of time, and Nangong Longyan seemed to be in a hurry to go out. After that, Huangfu Yuqing and Xiyin also took the carriage of the Pingnan Prince's Mansion back to the mansion. The woman went back and smelled the words of the butler of the Du Mansion, and was confused. If we counted according to the time, Du Zhi's time to leave home was exactly the same as when he and Miss Su San elope. If we infer this way, Du Zhi has never appeared since he left home, and the clinic he opened in the capital had long been closed due to Nangong Longze. This person seemed to have evaporated from the air and never appeared again.

Hearing this, Huangfu Yuqing's watery eyes were slightly stunned for a few seconds. He didn't expect Xiyin to take such a big step, so he nodded: "You are right. Paper can't cover the fire. Sooner or later she will know it. It's better to tell her in person."

Huangfu Yuqing noticed that Feng Ling, who was standing in front of Ji Lu, had a cunning smile in her eyes, and a light of inspiration flashed through her mind. It must be this girl who teased Ji Lu, but she didn't know what she said, and made Ji Lu, a calm and steady man, look like she is now.

Feng Ling curled her lips and made a grievance, but did not directly answer Huangfu Yuqing's words. Seeing that his frail water eyes were cast at Ji Lu standing behind her, the man accidentally bumped into her water eyes, and nervously turned his head away, cleared his throat unnaturally, and answered Huangfu Yuqing's words first--

"I am just asking you why you keep following Ji Lu? What is your purpose?" Huangfu Yuqing seemed to be more confident at this moment. The master and servant sang a double act in front of the master and servant Nangong Longze in a tacit understanding.

Huangfu Yuqing saw it, but she was puzzled in her heart. Ji Lu'er's reaction seemed a bit abnormal. He was followed by someone. Why did he seem to be caught after he was tracked? The reactions of Feng Ling and the two were a little overturned.

"Prince, Ji Lu has been following you for a long time. Since he doesn't want to, why should you force me? Although Feng Ling is my maid, I don't want the prince to decide on this marriage when he sees me." Huangfu Yuqing also spoke slowly. Her speaking speed was very slow, leaving no trace to put Nangong Longze in a passive state.

Seeing that Huangfu Yuqing could stand up and speak for her, Ji Lu's eyes flashed with gratitude. If Huangfu Yuqing hadn't said this at this time, he would have really had to let the prince drive the duck and put it on the shelves and force him to get together with Feng Ling's maid.
