Abandoned daughter reborn, legitimate son is resourceful

Chu Xiaoran slept very soundly that night, but when he woke up he found that Nan Jinming was gone. He sat on the bed, a little dazed.

Qingyu knocked on the door. Chu Xiaoran had already woken up, so she asked him to come in.

When Qingyu came in, she was still looking around, but she didn't see the man from last night. She frowned in confusion: "Where is the man who came back with us last night?"

"Maybe he went out for something."

Chu Xiaoran naturally didn't know where she had gone. She probably didn't want to disturb his sleep, so she left quietly.

In fact, Chu Xiaoran has always respected Nan Jinming for so long. When she wants to talk to him about anything, he will listen attentively. When she doesn't want to talk, he will let her do it.

Anyway, I always believed in her.

"Princess, you should wash up first."

Qingyu put the wooden basin on the shelf, prepared a cup for rinsing mouth, and handed it to Chu Xiaoran.

Chu Xiaoran had just put on a coat, tied his belt casually, picked up the cup of water, and started rinsing his mouth.

"Why did this man leave without saying a word? Even the princess doesn't know his whereabouts. What on earth does he want to do?"

"Maybe he has things of his own to do."

"I have never seen this person before. He must have just entered the palace."

"Qingyu, do you think there is something wrong?"

"He also knows some martial arts skills, so we should be on guard against him."

"Beware of him? Then why did you let him sleep with me last night?"

Chu Xiaoran found it a little funny. Qingyu looked quite innocent and probably had never encountered any unhappy things in the palace.

"It seems to be the case, so I will temporarily believe that he is a good person."

Qingyu felt a little embarrassed when he thought of this. His ears turned red and he could only change the subject.

After Chu Xiaoran finished washing up, he looked outside the door and saw that the people from the imperial kitchen had brought him breakfast, which was bird's nest porridge.

"When do we leave for the Princess's Mansion?"

Qingyu looked at the sky. Today's weather was relatively good and it was not snowing, so they still needed to return to the Princess's Mansion as soon as possible, otherwise the carriage would slip when it snowed, which would be very dangerous.

"We still have to hurry and go back. It's not snowing yet. After the princess has breakfast, we will set off back."

"But the man from last night hasn't come back yet."

Chu Xiaoran frowned, wondering where Nan Jinming had gone and why he hadn't come back yet.

If Qingyu and I left the palace, it would be difficult for her to leave the palace again.

"Then let's wait for him for another hour. If he doesn't come back, how about we set off back to the Princess's Mansion?"

"It doesn't matter if he stays in the palace for a while longer, but this palace belongs to His Majesty Feng Jun after all. If he comes back, he will definitely be criticized."

"Qingyu, you have been in the palace for so many years, don't you know that you should be careful with your words and actions?"

Qingyu stuck out her tongue playfully. He followed His Majesty around, and usually no one made things difficult for him. In the palace, he would occasionally go to the imperial kitchen to steal cakes to eat, and he lived a relatively free life.

"What the princess said is true, but I am going back to the princess's mansion with you now. Is it possible that someone will suddenly arrest me?"
