The soft beauty is so good at teasing, the villain prince asks for a kiss
Chapter 48: Escort Gift
Rong Heqing asked the guards to carry the person to his carriage. Rong Qiao leaned out from the back and asked, "Who is she? Why save her?"
"Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda, but do good deeds and stop talking nonsense." Rong Heqing didn't even look at him, staring at the guards putting the man on the couch in the inner room.
Rong Qiao: “…”
He curled his lips and said disapprovingly, "What's wrong with doing good things? Do good people always get good rewards?"
Rong Heqing smiled, "Good people may not always be rewarded, but I can beat you up anytime I want, Xiao Chu——"
Xiao Chu came whenever he was called and drew his sword at any time.
Rong Qiao immediately shut up and shrank back.
A good person was made to be like a voice-controlled little turtle, shrinking his neck when he heard the sword.
Rong Heqing snorted and got on the carriage.
She wet the towel and wiped the girl's face.
The dust faded away, revealing her true appearance. Rong Heqing sighed, this girl is also a little beauty.
She pushed aside the girl's hair on the side of her face and saw a hideous scar that looked like it had been burned by fire.
Rong Heqing paused, carefully wiped the scar, and looked at her deeply.
I always feel that this girl has some story.
The carriage moved forward steadily and finally arrived in Yundu as night fell.
The sound of soldiers conducting routine inspections came from outside the car. Rong Heqing was just about to take a look when a sharp, flattering voice sounded nearby. She fixed her eyes and listened attentively.
"I pay my respects to the prince, princess, and young master. His Majesty understands that you are tired from traveling so he has sent me to pass on his order, allowing you to rest for a night and come to the palace to see him tomorrow."
Qin Yunxian's voice was a little far away through the carriage and sounded very vague. It was unclear what he said specifically. The eunuch laughed twice and then fell silent.
She lifted the curtain on the car window and peeked out quietly, but the person had already left.
Rong Heqing breathed a sigh of relief, as she didn't have to enter the palace immediately.
Because of Liu Yiqing's incident, she had no good feelings towards this dog emperor.
As the saying goes, serving the king is like serving a tiger. If she says she is not afraid at all when meeting a big tiger, it would be a lie. It would be better to wait for a day to prepare herself mentally.
There were many people in the city, so the carriage moved slowly and it took about half an hour to reach the palace.
The driver called out, "Princess, Master, we're home."
Rong Heqing was shocked and turned to look at the girl. Seeing that she was still unconscious, he got out of the car and had someone carry her into the mansion.
Qin Yunxian's carriage stopped in front. Rong Heqing thought for a moment and walked forward to say hello.
"Your Majesty."
The curtain of the carriage was opened, revealing Qin Yun's handsome face. He nodded slightly and said, "I will take you here, and then I will leave."
After saying that, he handed over a jade pendant from the window.
Rong Heqing hesitated and didn't answer, "This is..."
He lowered his voice and said, "I have an agreement with the prince, and I promised to take good care of you and your brother. If you encounter any problems in the future, take this jade pendant to Ruyi Tower to find Shopkeeper Zhou."
His jade-like fingers were hooked around the inky silk thread, creating a sharp contrast. Rong Heqing's heartstrings moved slightly, and he reached out to take it, bowing and saying, "Thank you, Your Highness."
Then she took out two handkerchiefs that she had prepared in advance and wrapped the banknotes in them and placed them in Qin Yunxian's palm. Qin Yunxian was a little surprised. Before he could speak, Rong Heqing smiled and said, "I owed you money before, Your Highness. This time I will pay you off all at once. Thank you for taking care of me during this period. Take care, Your Highness."
Although it was not stated explicitly, there was an implicit intention to draw a clear line.
Qin Yunxian raised his eyebrows slightly, watched Rong Heqing salute and turn to leave, laughed briefly, and clenched his hands.
Guan Zhen turned around when he heard the noise, "Master, what's wrong?"
Seeing Qin Yunxian holding something in his hand, he asked, "What is this?"
Qin Yunxian's smile disappeared, and he said expressionlessly, "Escort Gift (1)."
The remuneration received by the escort agency for escorting goods is generally called escort fee, which is considered a kind of respect for the escort.
Guan Zhen was confused, "Huh?"
Qin Yunxian didn't explain, he lowered the curtain and said calmly: "Go back home."

The Annan Palace in Yundu was a reward from the emperor after the King of Annan defeated the enemy army and returned triumphantly. Unfortunately, not long after it was built and decorated, the King of Annan went back to the southern border to fight. He only came back to live there once in more than ten years, and it has been vacant since then.
Before Rong Heqing set off, King Annan sent a letter to Yundu, and the butler Fang, who was in charge of the palace, had the yard cleaned up early.
He received the letter and came to greet them. He was so excited to see Rong Heqing arrive safely that his eyes turned red. Rong Heqing was quite surprised. After asking a few questions, he found out that this Butler Fang was the princess's man, the steward she brought from the Marquis' Mansion when she got married. Because he was capable, he was promoted to butler by the princess. At that time, the palace in Yundu was short of people to manage it, and Butler Fang's wife and children happened to be in Yundu, so the princess simply let him stay.
Butler Fang, remembering the princess's kindness, was naturally happy to see Rong Heqing and kept talking to her.
Rong Qiao originally wanted to bribe Butler Fang so that he could open a backdoor for himself in the future: "..."
The heart dies in an instant.
He suddenly felt that his second sister's previous instructions were really unnecessary.
He wanted to challenge Rong Heqing, but the housekeeper was hers, the guards were hers, her aunt was in the palace, her grandfather was in the east of the city, and he was lonely, weak and had a miserable life.
Rong Qiao wanted to cry even more.
Butler Fang led them to their respective courtyards.
Rong Heqing's Zhilan Courtyard was the largest and best except for the main courtyard. Rong Qiao was just a young master after all, and he had no title or honor yet, so the courtyard he lived in was naturally of lower rank. Rong Qiao knew this clearly, so he didn't say anything and moved in obediently.
The guard came forward with the girl on his back and asked in a low voice, "Princess, what should we do with her?"
Butler Fang turned around and asked in confusion, "Who is she?"
"I saved him on the way. I was just about to ask you, is there a doctor in the mansion? If not, go and ask for one first. It will be more convenient to hire one later."
After Rong Heqing finished speaking, he asked the guards to send the person to the side room.
Butler Fang said: "I'll send someone to invite them right away!"
After everything was arranged, Rong and Qing entered their own bedrooms. Zheliu and Wanzhu had already come in to put their things away.
The inner and outer rooms of the bedroom are separated by a screen, and the outer room is divided into two parts by a bead curtain and gauze. The outermost part is a place for guests to rest, and the inside is a simple small study with bookshelves and desks, on which are all the four treasures of the study.
There were a few freshly picked flowers in the low porcelain vase on the table, with pink, white and red colors intertwined, and the petals overlapping like clouds, which was very pleasing to the eyes.
Overall, Rong Heqing was very satisfied.
After sitting in the carriage for a whole day, she was tired and hungry. She didn't care about anything else. After dinner, she took a bath and went to bed early to prepare for the audience with the emperor tomorrow.
Perhaps because she had something on her mind, she did not sleep well and woke up at dawn the next day.
She simply got up, washed and put on makeup, which took a long time.
Before leaving, she thought of the girl she brought back last night and asked Wanzhu. Wanzhu whispered, "She hasn't woken up yet. The doctor said she fainted from hunger. She was injured before and hasn't fully recovered. She needs to be taken care of."
"Take good care of him and let me know when he wakes up."
Rong Heqing was just saying it casually, but she didn't expect that the girl woke up right after she and Rong Qiao left.
