Bai Qingqing turned pale with anger at his logical theory, and spoke loudly, “Lord Ninth, you know that for males and females not to allow their hands to touch in giving and receiving is the general rule, don’t you?”

Zhao Yuting gave her an exasperating smile, “You mean I should be responsible for your body since I hugged you?”

“Thank you for your kindness but I don’t need it . It's my greatest gift that you don't do anything to me anymore . ”

But Zhao Yuting didn't seem to let her go .

“Bai Guniang, I find that you have not only a beautiful face but a sa.s.sy character which is quite to my liking . Now you have reached marriageable age but are single, so I want to . . . ”

Bai Qingqing interrupted him, “Who told you I’m single?”

“So?” He slightly picked eyebrows, wanting to go into it, “I wonder which family have you had marriage engagement with . Where is he from?”

“It’s my privacy . Lord Nineth doesn’t want to force me to say, right?”

“I’m just curious about what kind of person he is . Since you don’t want to share, I won’t have you say it by force . ”

“Thank you for your understanding . ”

For the following trip, Bai Qingqing stuck to the excuse she hadn’t slept well last night and closed her eyes and mouth tightly, refusing to talk with him, though Zhao Yuting kept teasing her .

Actually she was worried about the current situation of Zhao Yuchen in her heart .

As the abdicated emperor of The Great Yan Kingdom, though Zhao Yuchen kept a low profile and secretive, he still couldn’t make the public forget about his existence with the ident.i.ty of the youngest Emperor Emeritus in history .

There must be violent storm and roaring waves in the kingdom once their Emperor Emeritus had unexpected misfortune .

But on the back to the capital city, she found civilians looked normally, which seemed nothing serious happened .

So she made two a.s.sumptions: one was that Zhao Yuchen’s present whereabouts was unknown like her; the other was that he had already been safe .

With her knowledge of the little emperor, once he knew that his beloved father encountered a danger, on no account would he make the capital city peaceful like this .

That meant the second a.s.sumption was more likely to be the case, which made her relieve after she was torn for such a long time .

Meanwhile, her feeling of pinning for the little emperor grew so strong that she wished she could grow wings and fly into the palace to hold her son, who had been away for a long time, in her arms and tell him the bitterness of her inner thoughts .

The longest journey would have an end . Red-crowned Crane Manor was not so far from the capital city, so after six more hours, their carriage arrived at Prime Minister Mansion .

The family retainer of Prime Minister Mansion seemed to be not familiar with Lord Fengyang, Zhao Yuting, but recognized Bai Qingqing who had lived here for a while . The imperial bodyguard who had deliberately made things difficult for her was especially hospitable to her on seeing her as if he was seeing his own relative .

This was simply because mother of the imperial bodyguard had been bedridden with serious illness for many years, which made many physicians at the end of their resources .

However, after treatment of Bai Guniang, not only the pain on her body was eliminated, but also the old lady could walk freely again .

Since then, the imperial bodyguard regarded Bai Qingqing as his benefactor .

Therefore, seeing Bai Qingqing’s arrival, he felt so happy and had someone inform Prime Minister Qin of her arrival without hesitation .

Hearing it, Prime Minister Qin ran to greet her .

He felt excited after seeing Bai Qingqing was all right .

But he turned into great shock when he clearly saw the tall man beside her .

“Prince, why did you . . . ” Prime Minister Qin asked .

Though the family retainer was not familiar with Zhao Yuting, he was familiar .

He would never forget the man who had set off a b.l.o.o.d.y political storm in the palace until he die one day .

Sacred Emperor and his empress originally had a deep love with each other, and lived in harmony . It was because of this man's obstruction that the sweet thing became a terrible tragedy .

Afterwards, Lord Ninth was driven out of the capital by Sacred Emperor, in great  anger, he made Lord Ninth out of sight, granting  Fengyang  as a feudal land to him .

Prime Minister Qin didn’t expect that six years later, Lord Ninth who had been out of the capital would appear in his Prime Minister Mansion .

Prime Minister Qin quickly calmed down after a short shock . As he warmly greeted Lord Ninth to go into the house and talk in detail, he secretly gestured at the butler around him, so that he could go into the palace as soon as possible and tell the Sacred Emperor that Bai Guniang came back safe and sound .

ZhaoYuting kept watching Bai Qingqing’s facial change in secret all the while .

They stayed for over ten days . He never disclosed his ident.i.ty, and she never asked .

Now Prime Minister Qin spoke out his ident.i.ty as a Prince, but there was no change in Bai Qingqing’s facial expression, as if she had known his ident.i.ty for a long time .

Could it be said that she had figured out who he was from the first time they met .

But he was sure they didn’t know each other before .

He would not have doubted her had she not accidentally handed the brush to his left hand that time .

But the more he explored, the more she evaded .

It made him more interested in her subconsciously and he even made a silent vow to tear off the mask of disguise on her face with his own hands .

Prime Minister Qin naturally didn’t know the thoughts of Lord Fengyang, and the only thing he was curious about was why Bai Qingqing and he, who weren’t supposed to be related in any way, showed up in his mansion .

Bai Qingqing observed his curiosity, so she concisely told Prime Minister Qin what happened these days instantly she got into the room .

“Well, you mean Lord Ninth saved you from a great danger?” Prime Minister was surprised .

“I didn’t remember what happened that time, but only found myself lying in Lord Ninth’s house when I woke up . ”

“Lord Nine?” Prime Minister was slightly shocked .

Zhao Yuting suddenly smiled at Bai Qingqing, “Bai Guniang, you won’t mind that I didn’t tell you my ident.i.ty, right?”

Bai Qingqing answered calmly, “Prince Ninth is of royal origin so there is nothing wrong with you to deliberately hide your ident.i.ty . I’m just a common people and don’t dare to mind . ”

Zhao Yuting knit his eyebrows, with a faint smile on his face, “Your response gives me an illusion that you seemed to know my ident.i.ty the first time we met . ”

Bai Qingqing’s heart pounded on hearing his blunt inquiry . The astuteness of Zhao Yuting was no less than Zhao Yuchen .

When she was thinking of how to answer the question, there was a sudden rush of footsteps outside the door . Then a familiar voice came from outside, “Qingqing . . . ”

Stimulated by the call, Bai Qingqing sprang to her feet .

Though she had already guessed that the man she missed would be safe, she could hardly restrain her excitement when she saw him appear in front of her eyes . She stood up desperately and wanted to jump into his arms at the first time .

She was so excited that she forgot her ankles were still hurt .

When she didn’t stand steadily and almost fell to the ground, Zhao Yuting, who stood nearest to her, hugged her at the waist and took her into his arms in front of the crowd .

The sudden movement made Zhao Yuchen who broke into the room startled, as well as Prime Minister Qin .

Such a reversal was out of expectation of Bai Qingqing . Now fancy her  falling into Zhao Yuting’s arms in front of Zhao Yuchen .

After she did a double-take, she struggled to escape from his arms, only to hear Zhao Yuting’s voice came softly, “Qingqing, why are you so careless? Do you forget your injury in ankles hasn’t recovered completely? If I know you cannot take good care of yourself, we would go back a few days later and visit the Prime Minister Qin when you've recovered all your injuries . ”

What he said was so affectionate and that others couldn’t help think their relations.h.i.+p was not simple .

Especially that “Qingqing” sounded very tender and sweet and easily made others doubt .

Bai Qingqing knew she could never clarify the thing so she instinctively glanced at the door, only to find Zhao Yuchen looked unhappy but no sign of anger was revealed .
