Female Master: The Cold Prince

"What should we do? The Fourth Princess has already left the palace and will not be back until the evening. What should we do now?" a palace maid said anxiously.

The palace maids all knew that the Fourth Princess had left the palace, but no one expected that Ling Guijun would suddenly come to Jiuhe Palace today.

Although Ling Guijun would come over from time to time on weekdays, he would leave whenever he heard that the Fourth Princess was reading outside.

So today, before leaving the palace, the four princesses had given them instructions, for fear that Ling Guijun would arrive suddenly.

As a result, Ling Guijun came, but the Fourth Princess' excuse lost its effect.

This time, Ling Guijun really caught them off guard.

However, here, Ling Guijun, who had been waiting for someone in Jiuhe Palace, was frowning and looking outside the palace from time to time.

Half an hour had passed. It was just to look for someone, why did those palace maids take so long?

Could it be that something happened that delayed him? That's not right. Even if there was something urgent, Yue Er should have sent a maid back to inform him.

"Lin Xuan, go to the Imperial Garden again and see why those palace maids are taking so long to look for someone. Find out what's going on." Ling Guijun felt a vague sense of uneasiness in her heart for some reason.

"Yes." Lin Xuan.

Not long after, Lin Xuan came back, followed by several palace maids. They were the ones who had gone to look for someone before, but there was no sign of Xiahou Jiuyue.

When Ling Guijun looked at the palace maid who had been kneeling on the ground trembling and looking panicked since entering the palace, the uneasiness in his heart became more and more intense.

"Where is the Fourth Princess? Why didn't she come back with you?" Ling Guijun asked, suppressing the uneasiness in his heart.

Hearing this, Lin Xuan shook his head at Ling Guijun, indicating that he was not very clear either.

The palace maids trembled and dared not raise their heads. Even so, the terrified expressions on their faces could not escape Ling Guijun's eyes.

When Ling Guijun saw this, what else was there that he didn't understand? This Yue'er was probably not just reading a book in the Imperial Garden.

"Why don't you tell me the truth? Do you want me to chop off your heads?"

Ling Guijun suppressed an uncontrollable rage in his heart, and stared at the trembling palace maids with fierce eyes.

"Please spare my life, sir!"

"Please spare my life, sir!"

"Please spare my life, my lord, I will tell you!"

All the palace maids looked terrified and begged for mercy in panic, fearing that their heads would be chopped off the next moment.

"Tell me, if you dare to lie, I will never forgive you."

Ling Guijun has always been gentle and kind, and few people have seen him so angry, which actually makes people feel deeply fearful in their hearts.

"Yes."

On the other side, Feng was at the lake.

Xiahou Jiuyue, who didn't know that the secret was exposed, took a short nap and then felt full of energy, refreshed and radiant.

"How are you guys? Did you all have a good rest?" Xiahou Jiuyue asked Ye Xingchen and Fu Yin.

"Miss, we have all rested." Fu Yin said, and Ye Xingchen just nodded slightly.

"That's good, let's go."

"Miss, can I go with you?" Suddenly a gentle male voice sounded.

Hearing this, Xiahou Jiuyue frowned slightly and looked at the man with indifference.

She originally thought that this man would leave with the group of people, but unexpectedly, he still stayed here.

In fact, she saw him when she opened her eyes just now, but she chose to ignore him.

This person was the one who had just reconciled the situation.

He was dressed in a crescent-shaped white robe, had delicate eyebrows, light in his eyes, and a gentle temperament, giving people a feeling of being bathed in spring breeze.

At this moment, he was smiling, and his eyes revealed a hint of expectation.

For some reason, Xiahou Jiuyue didn't dislike this man, maybe because of his gentle temperament.

Xiahou Jiuyue immediately looked at Ye Xingchen beside her and saw that he looked normal, without any displeasure.

Then, Xiahou Jiuyue nodded to the man and said, "Okay."

Seeing this, the man was immediately delighted. He walked up to Xiahou Jiuyue with joy and said, "My name is Wen Jueshang. May I know how to address you, young lady?"

"My name is Jiuyue." Xiahou Jiuyue said in the same friendly manner.

Xiahou Jiuyue paused, then she pointed at the two people beside her and introduced them: "This is my friend, named Ye Xingchen, and this is my personal maid Fuyin."

Wen Jueshang said to Ye Xingchen apologetically, "Young Master Ye, I'm very sorry for what happened just now. I hope you don't take it to heart."

Ye Xingchen looked a little cold and did not respond.

Xiahou Jiuyue naturally knew Ye Xingchen's character, so she spoke to Wen Jueshang.

"Xingchen has a cold personality and doesn't talk much. What happened just now has passed. Since they have already apologized, Xingchen won't take it to heart. Our Xingchen is very generous."

Hearing this, Wen Jueshang's expression froze slightly. He didn't expect Xiahou Jiuyue to speak for Ye Xingchen.

Ye Xingchen's heart skipped a beat. What do you mean by "our Xingchen"? This made him feel strangely palpitated.

"In this case, I am judging others by my own standards." Wen Jueshang said gently.

"Miss, are we going to go boating on the lake next?" Fu Yin interrupted at this time.

"No, let's go back to Beijing!"

At this time, it was getting late. She had to go back to make arrangements for Ye Xingchen and then rush outside the city to wait, otherwise it would be too late.

I don’t know what the situation is in the palace now, and whether her affairs have been exposed.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Wen, it's getting late and we have to go back to Beijing." Xiahou Jiuyue said with a guilty look on her face.

"It's okay, we can go boating next time, but my home is also in Beijing, why don't I go back with you guys?"

"In that case, let's rent a carriage."

This handsome boy wanted to follow her, so she let him come along. It would be pleasant to watch him on the road anyway.

In the carriage, Ye Xingchen sat aside with his eyes closed, silent, and looking as if he wanted to keep away from strangers.

Xiahou Jiuyue and Wen Jueshang were having a great conversation, and laughter could be heard from the carriage from time to time.

What Xiahou Jiuyue didn't realize was that the more excitedly she chatted with Wen Jueshang, the colder Ye Xingchen's eyes became, and the look he gave Wen Jueshang became darker, making it difficult to detect.

Ye Xingchen didn't know why, but he didn't like this man named Wen Jueshang at all.

Whenever he saw Xiahou Jiuyue and Wen Jueshang talking incessantly, he felt uncomfortable, which made him hate Wen Jueshang even more.

Fu Yin sat next to Xiahou Jiuyue, listening to their conversation quietly. She would also interject from time to time, making the atmosphere in the entire carriage more relaxed and pleasant.
