Ling'er's expression was serious as she replied, "Even though I'm in the mansion and eat and sleep there, Ling'er has a presumptuous request."

Ling'er had a cautious look on her face as she observed Li Yue's expression.

After confirming that he was not displeased, he said in a low voice, "Ling'er wants to open the banquet in my courtyard today and invite elder sister over. We'll have to eat together, I'll personally apologize to elder sister!"

A flash of surprise appeared in Li Yue's eyes.

Ling'er continued, "Last time Ling'er came, she offended big sister. Today … I'm afraid sister will misunderstand. "

She looked at Li Yue with an uneasy expression, saying, "Is Big Brother Yue willing to help me? I want to resolve the misunderstanding between me and my sister and live in peace. "

Li Yue indifferently listened to what she had to say.

Under her fervent gaze.

He said lightly, "No need, she is not a narrow-minded person."

Ling'er's expression changed slightly. The look in her eyes was as though her heart had been heavily stabbed.

The tip of the saber even slowly spun in a circle.

It was so painful that she was willing to die …

He quickly lowered his head, glad that he did not let Li Yue see his expression.

He said, "If that's the case, then... Take your time, I hope elder sister won't misunderstand me. "

As they were speaking, they heard the servant report, "Esteemed wangfei returned to the estate."

Li Yue had an important matter to discuss with Jingjing and had instructed the servants.

When Jingjing returned to the manor, she wanted to report to him.

He then stood up and said to Ling'er, "You should rest up. I'll take a trip to the Pingzhen Garden."

Originally, it didn't mean anything, but Ling'er understood it.

Jingjing was worried that Jingjing would feel unhappy because of what happened just now.

What gap would arise between the two of them.

That was why he went to explain things to Jingjing as soon as she left the house and tried to coax her.

Ling'er looked at Li Yue's back as he left and clenched his fists tightly.

The fingernail pierced the palm of his hand and the crimson scar was almost pierced.

But she didn't feel it at all.

He just wanted to use this pain to suppress the connection in his heart and suppress the hatred in his heart.

She looked maliciously at the figure that had disappeared at the door and muttered, "No matter who it is, rest and take Big Brother Yue away. I … "I hate you, I hate you — Xiahou Yeyue!"

"Miss, the prince is coming over for your preparations."

After settling Xiahou Ye Xi down, Man Qing walked over to Jingjing, who had just sat down to rest, and said.

Jing Jing creased her eyebrows, looked at Man Qing and said, "So what if he came?"

He frowned slightly and said, "I don't want to go and welcome them."

However, he felt a little strange. How did Li Yue know that he was back?

Was he trying to explain the 'hug' he had had with Ling'er this morning?

Thinking of this, he felt even more unhappy.

She still wanted to use this opportunity to think back to what General Xiahou had told her.

She wanted to digest it.

Manqing leaned into her ear and whispered, "Miss, even if you don't want to welcome me, you still have to pay attention to your own … "Etiquette."

"Is there anything wrong with my manners?"

Jingjing raised her eyebrows and asked Manqing.

Following her words, he lowered his head to look at himself. There was no problem with that.

It was good that she wasn't looking. When she saw it, even she felt embarrassed.

She was supposed to be sitting cross-legged on a soft blanket when she took off her shoes.

At this moment, he pulled his foot back.

It was just like a leopard cat. Its entire body was curled up on a chair.

He held his knees and tapped his chin on his arm, as if he was thinking about something.

Alright, Jingjing admits that this really doesn't have any 'bearing'.

Although he was unwilling, he still put his feet down, put on his shoes, and sat down obediently on the chair.

Just as he was about to sit down, he heard someone call out, "Your Highness, please —"

As he finished speaking, he saw a tall figure walk in.

He was very tall, and if you ignored the crutches from head to toe, he could be considered to be perfect.

However, his legs seemed to have improved a bit recently, as if he'd invited some divine doctor from the Central Plains.

It was said that he was the descendant of some Hua Tuo.

Seeing Jingjing's blank expression, Li Yue felt displeased in his heart.

This person was actually absent-minded when faced with such a beautiful face like his. It was truly speechless.

Would any girl in the city not scream for her face?

Although he didn't like others to experience his face, it wasn't like he was ignored, right?

Even if the other side was reasonable, it was as if they couldn't see him.

"Cough …"

Li Yue gave a fake cough and successfully attracted Jingjing's attention.

Jing Jing glanced at him, she forgot her identity, and indifferently said, "She's here."

Li Yue didn't pay much attention to this either, causing Man Qing to break out in cold sweat.

He hurriedly served tea to Li Yue and left silently.

When he got to the door, he gave the orders to all the servants to leave.

For a moment, there were only two people left.

Jing Jing didn't take the initiative to speak, she just drank her tea and waited for him to speak first.

"Are you happy to be back today?"

Seeing her dark face, Li Yue pretended not to see him and asked.

"En!" Jing Jing randomly replied with a nasal voice, but she didn't say anything.

Li Yue glanced at her. How could she know why she was displeased?

Just as he was thinking, he said briefly, "The mansion has been recruiting servants and guards. According to the rules, you have to go and operate them. "When the time comes, I'll have Manager Zheng help you. I've already explained it to him."

"Oh."

Jing Jing waited a whole day for an explanation, but this sentence was a little unexpected.

After a moment of surprise, he answered.

It was the first time she saw someone who spoke less than she did.

How could he know that a woman would be 'jealous' when she was alone?

He continued to explain to Jingjing, "At that time, you must open your eyes wide and not allow anyone to enter. If they do, the consequences will be …. Unimaginable. Do you understand? "

"Who would sneak in?"

Jingjing could hear the meaning behind his words, although she didn't want to ask.

However, it was still a matter of comfort to him and the Tenth Princess, so it would be better to ask them more clearly.

Li Yue glanced at her and did not hide anything. "Nangong Xiu!"

"Nangong Xiu?"

Hearing this familiar name, Jing Jing started to organize her thoughts.

Suddenly, a few words popped out from the scattered thoughts in his head: "My brother-in-law is coming?!"

This Nangong Xiu was his senior sister's husband. At the very least, she could be considered to be his brother-in-law.

Li Yue's face darkened, "When did he become your brother-in-law?"

Jing Jing looked at Li Yue's changed expression and said, "Erm … I got a cold and I'm a little out of my mind. "

Li Yue reached out her hand to touch it and said, "Yes, it seems to be a little hot."

Jing Jing felt the icy cold palm on her forehead, she couldn't help but lower her head a little.

However, she calmly pushed him away and said: "Nangong Xiu, is he the Crown Prince of the Central Plains?"

Li Yue nodded and said, "That's him!"

Jing Jing frowned and said, "Why are you stopping him? Why did he come to the Western Regions? Why did he come to our residence? "

Li Yue frowned and said, "I'm not afraid. You know, he did it for … The Wordless Book. "

Back at the Great Python Mountain, Jingjing more or less knew about the Wordless Heavenly Book.

He couldn't help but ask, "Didn't he already take it?"

Li Yue shook his head. "There's still a missing page."

"A missing page of the Wordless Heavenly Book?"

Li Yue nodded.

Jing Jing's expression changed as she looked at a certain direction on the roof with a guilty conscience. She couldn't help but ask, "The one where the Priest stole the page from the underground palace?"

Li Yue's expression turned cold, and he looked at Jingjing suspiciously, "How do you know?"

Jing Jing realized that she misspoke, she quickly forced a smile and said: "Last time …" It's about going to the palace to perform, and accidentally listening in on someone else's discussion, so … I just found out. "

Seeing the serious expression on Jingjing's face, Li Yue pondered for a while before saying, "That's for the best!"

Jing Jing turned her head away in guilt, "Don't worry, I will take good care of him and not let him enter the mansion."

Li Yue nodded worriedly, "That's for the best."

Jingjing looked at Li Yue with a serious face and said, "Tell me, what are his characteristics? At that time, I can prepare myself and be more prepared. "

Li Yue said, "Manager Zheng knows that there is also a portrait of him, but …"

As he spoke, he took out a piece of drawing paper from his bosom and handed it to Jingjing, then said, "This is his portrait."

Jing opened her eyes to take a look, she only felt that this person had a strong demonic charm and noble aura.

Under such an atmosphere, people almost ignored his originally handsome face.

"Is there anything else about him?" Speak a little more, so that I can be more prepared! "

After looking at the drawing, Jing Jing carefully put it away and said to Li Yue.

Li Yue frowned as he thought about it, although she felt that her positive attitude towards him wasn't right.

However, for the safety of the Prince's Mansion.

In order to prevent Nangong Xiu from successfully sneaking in and obtaining the missing piece of information from the Heavenly Book, he could only say this.

"He's very cold. There's an evil aura around him …" Li Yue recalled and said.

"Then... What are you used to? "Such as some small movements or something?"

Jingjing continued to ask.

Li Yue felt that something wasn't quite right with Jingjing's attitude.

But there was nothing wrong with it.

If there was anything wrong with her, it would be that she was showing too much enthusiasm.

This wasn't the attitude Jingjing had towards him, nor was this the attitude Jingjing would have towards the mission assigned to her.

Li Yue gloomily thought for a moment before replying, "Small movements... I don't know, but I do know that he is a very clean man. "

He recalled, and said, "Recently, our family has been the only ones in the city who have come to the admissions courtyard, so it's hard for him not to disguise as those people who want to sneak in."

"It is unavoidable to alert the enemy, and since we can't stop it from happening, so … That's why I need you to be extra careful with Manager Zheng. "

"Very clean?" Jing Jing had a face full of thought.

He then took out the portrait of Nangong Xiu from his sleeve and carefully appraised it.

As he thought, his Senior Sister really does have sunshine.

Not only was he a crown prince, he was also such a charming, handsome, and outstanding man.

She looked at Li Yue and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely do my best to prevent him from coming in!"

Li Yue repeatedly looked at her solemn expression. Although he had a feeling that something was wrong, he couldn't say what was wrong.

He could only say, "Manager Zheng will help you. If anything happens, come here and report to me later."
