Dongfang Hao chatted casually during the banquet and his manner was relaxed. It was only when Dongfang Hao left the Xiao manor in the afternoon that Shang Yiqing found an opportunity to interrogate Ying Ying.

After the two of them sent Dongfang Hao out, Shang Yiqing asked seriously: "Ying Ying, let me ask you, what happened last night? "Why didn't you come back for the whole night?"

"I …" Ying Ying's face turned red as she lowered her head to glance at Shang Yiqing. "What exactly do you want to ask?"

"Of course I'm asking you about what happened last night. Don't deny it, I can see that you have a little special to Dongfang Hao!" Shang Yiqing acted like she was interrogating a prisoner, her face was stern and serious.

Ying Ying couldn't help but defend herself. "I didn't!"

"You don't want to tell me, do you?" Shang Yiqing pressed on, she had no intention of giving up on her interrogation of Ying Ying. This was an ancient era, and Ying Ying was an unmarried woman. No matter what the reason was, it was necessary to ask her.

"Alright then … "Then I'll tell you …" Ying Ying thought for a moment, then looked out the window at the osmanthus tree with her beautiful eyes. A gentle breeze blew, and the fragrance drifted into the room as she slowly said, "Yesterday, I was captured by King Xuan, so I thought I wouldn't be able to escape. I was dragged out of the city, and I met Dongfang Hao outside the city. He was the one who saved me …"

Shang Yiqing tapped the table with her fingers, "The main point, I want the main point, don't say something that doesn't matter."

Ying Ying looked at Shang Yiqing helplessly and rested her chin on her hands. "Hou Tian was already dark and I didn't know the direction, so I didn't come back at night."

"Where did you spend the night?" In the end, Ying Ying didn't even get to the point. Shang Yiqing was worried about how the two of them spent the night together.

"Then we found a farmhouse and spent the night there." Ying Ying recalled what happened yesterday with a sweet smile on her face.

"Is that it?" This answer was completely out of Shang Yiqing's expectations. She also did not expect the truth to be so simple.

Ying Ying rolled her eyes at Shang Yiqing. "What exactly do you want to ask?"

"What I want to ask is, do you guys have... Are there any interactions, such as contact between the limbs? " Shang Yiqing asked carefully, trying her best to be tactful.

"Princess Rong, you think too badly of people. Don't tell me Dongfang Hao doesn't look like a gentleman at all?" Ying Ying was both angry and amused.

"No, no, that's not what I meant, but …" Shang Yiqing changed her tone, "I feel that you're acting a little unusual towards him."

"Where is there... "Don't talk nonsense …" Ying Ying felt embarrassed as she looked out of the window in cover.

"Alright, alright, I won't ask you anymore." Shang Yiqing saw that she couldn't get anything out of her, so she stood up and walked around the room. "You don't know that I was worried to death when I heard that you were taken away last night."

"I know you're being nice to me, okay? Tell me how you want me to thank you." Ying Ying smiled as if she was trying to curry favor with him.

Shang Yiqing pouted. "I don't need you to please me. I'll be relieved to see you safe and sound."

Ying Ying rubbed her fingers and thought for a moment. "When I first saw Dongfang Hao, I was so shocked that I almost treated him as big brother Fang. He's really too similar to big brother Fang. It feels like he's really too similar."

"I think so too. Actually, I also treated him as a recipe for something that day." Shang Yiqing smiled. "I spoke a lot about him that day, but he ignored me. When he turned around and saw that it wasn't, I was a little disappointed!"

"I know that you miss Big Brother Fang very much. I hope that they can return victorious this time around."

Speaking of Fang Zinan, Shang Yiqing's mind drifted away again. She remembered that the first time she saw Fang Zinan, he didn't save him. She didn't expect Fang Zinan to marry him. Fate really was a strange thing. I wonder how that Fang Zinan guy is doing now? He wasn't too worried about anything else, except that Princess Liu Li's attitude towards Fang Zinan made her a little worried. Perhaps it was a woman's intuition, but he always felt that Princess Liu Li seemed to be especially interesting to Fang Zhenan.

As he was thinking, he suddenly heard Ying Ying laugh out loud.

"What are you laughing at?"

I'm laughing. You were asking me all those questions just now, but when you mentioned Big Brother Fang, you changed completely." Ying Ying naturally understood Shang Yiqing's thoughts. Back in the day, wasn't she just as worried about him? However, things had changed. Although Fang Zinan was still worried about him, that was only a sibling relationship, not a relationship between a man and a woman.

It was Shang Yiqing's turn to be embarrassed. Ying Ying had seen through his thoughts, so he was a little annoyed. "Are you making fun of me?"

"No, no …" Ying Ying laughed so hard she couldn't even stand up straight.

"You're still laughing …" Shang Yiqing made a move to grab Ying Ying and tickle her, causing the two of them to fall into a mess.

By this time, the sun had already set. Shang Yiqing, seeing that it was late, prepared to return home.

"I'll stop messing around. It's getting late, I should go back." Shang Yiqing stood up, took two steps towards the door, then turned around as if thinking of something: "Oh right, I want to ask you, since Dongfang Hao is the King of Qi of Dongyu Country, why isn't he in a hurry to return after such a big incident?"

Ying Ying smiled and said, "I have already asked him. Although he is the King of Qi of Dongyu Country, he is only a member of the royal family. He left the Kingdom of Dongyu since he was young and has always been wandering outside. Originally, he heard that King Dongyu had escaped here in order to find King Dongyu. However, King Dongyu had already left with the great army, and by the time he arrived, Hou was already too late. Therefore, he wasn't in a hurry to leave. "

"Since that's the case, he should return as soon as possible!" Shang Yiqing still did not understand, because according to the rules, he should leave immediately.

"Perhaps he knew that the Emperor had already sent troops to assist him and that he was fine, so he wasn't in a hurry to leave." Ying Ying said.

"Alright, I understand. I'll be going now." Shang Yiqing thought for a moment, "However, Brother Xiao is not in the capital now, and King Xuan is plotting something against you. You must be careful, don't let anything happen to him."

"I know." Ying Ying nodded and answered seriously.

Only then did Shang Yiqing leave the Xiao manor.

The sun was high in the sky, and the sky was blue and clear. A few clouds were floating in the sky, and Shang Yiqing was riding on her horse, thinking of Fang Zinan. He had already been gone for a month. During these days, she felt like a flower that had left Fang Zinan's care. She felt like she was withering, as if she were withering! So it turned out that the feeling of missing someone was this unbearable.

Just as she was thinking of this, she suddenly saw someone turn around from a corner not too far away. He smiled at Shang Yiqing and said, "Consort Rong, we meet again." Who else could it be other than Dongfang Hao?

"Prince Qi, why are you here?" Shang Yiqing was surprised.

"This belongs to Miss Ying Ying. I picked it up when I was trying to save her yesterday. I wanted to return it to her, but I actually forgot it. Since I've already seen the wangfei, I'll have to ask the wangfei to help me return it."

Shang Yiqing was about to extend her hand to catch it, but then she retracted it and smiled, "Since that's the case, why don't you return it yourself?"

Dongfang Hao nodded: "Alright."
