Lin Qingyang raised her head and looked at the person sitting in front of her who was half a head taller than her.

"Aren't you curious about who wanted to kill you on your way to Beijing?" Little Prince An stared at Lin Qingyang.

"You know?" Lin Qingyang looked at the person in front of him in shock, frowned, and seemed to have thought of something...

Lin Qingyang looked at the little Prince An in front of him and exclaimed, "It's you."

Then he immediately covered his mouth and stared at King Xiao An with wide eyes.

"You know who wants to kill me? How do you know?" Lin Qingyang couldn't believe it and grabbed the hem of King Xiao An's clothes with both hands.

Little Prince An looked down at Lin Qingyang's hand that was grabbing the hem of his clothes. Lin Qingyang realized his loss of composure and let go.

"You don't need to know who wants to kill you for now, just be careful. But you are safe in the capital for now." Prince An sat upright in the carriage.

Looking at Lin Qingyang who seemed to be deep in thought, Prince An pretended to cough.

"I can help you."

"What?" Lin Qingyang didn't hear clearly.

"I said I could help you."

At this moment, Prince Xiao An's expression was too serious and it didn't look like he was joking.

"What matter are you referring to?" Lin Qingyang didn't know what the little Prince An could do to help her, whether it was about the assassination, or about returning to Beijing to investigate the cause of his mother's death, or about not entering the Prince's Mansion.

Xiao An Wang smiled and said, "What do you want me to help you with?"

Lin Qingyang was stunned. "Since Xiao An Wang said he could help me, he must know what difficulties I have. What is the most important thing I should solve right now?"

Lin Qingyang was not familiar with Prince Xiao An in her previous life. Since she wanted to solve the prince's troubles in this life, Prince Xiao An was a good candidate. He was a member of the royal family, her cousin, and was able to help her and had saved her before, so he was trustworthy.

"I will help you, but things need to be solved slowly, which will take some time. During this time, you have to promise me one thing. After the matter is completed, if you don't want to live in the capital, I will send you away from the capital."

Lin Qingyang wanted to finish his work and leave the capital.

"Then what should I do?" Lin Qingyang asked warily.

"It's not a life-threatening matter, but you don't need to know it now. I have to go out of the capital to do some things. I will come back to you in a few days. In the meantime, just protect yourself."

Lin Qingyang couldn't help but be on guard, but she felt that Prince Xiao An wouldn't get any benefit from her. Even if he did, she didn't want to be like those people in her previous life who secretly used and hurt her. At least he told her clearly that she could cooperate.

......

The carriage moved forward slowly and soon arrived at the prime minister's residence.

Lin Qingyang got off the carriage and walked into the mansion without looking back.

Xiao An Wang has conditions for cooperation, but he has not put forward these conditions now. After a period of time, when Lin Qingyang really needs his help, she will naturally come to him.

"Let's go!" Prince Xiao An said to the coachman.

This time when I leave Beijing, maybe I can sort out some things when I come back.

After the banquet at the Xiao Mansion, the news that Ping'an Hou's concubine's son and Su Siyan, a daughter of the Su family, were granted marriage spread throughout the capital.

Everyone who attended the Xiao family banquet that day kept silent about it, because the incident happened in the Xiao family, the Queen's family. However, there is no such thing as a wall without cracks, and within two days, the voices of discussion gradually rose.

Su Siyan is now waiting to be married at home. She has become a laughing stock for a while. She dares not go out and is no longer the proud and arrogant "talented woman in Beijing".

Although the Su family is not a high-ranking official in the capital, Su Siyan is indeed a famous talented woman. Her goal is to enter the Prince's Mansion, but now she can only marry the illegitimate son of the Marquis' Mansion. The gap is indeed quite large.

Lin Qingyang was in the prime minister's mansion and heard some of the things happening outside. Ever since Su Siyan got into trouble, Chen didn't allow Lin Meir to have any contact with the Su family.

On this day, the weather was fine and Lin Qingyang was basking in the sun in her own yard. The prime minister's servant came to find Lin Qingyang again and asked her to go to the front yard and instructed her to dress up.

Usually, the Prime Minister rarely called Lin Qingyang, but this time he asked her to go to the front yard and asked her to dress up. Lin Qingyang thought about it carefully and thought that maybe there was some "distinguished guest". However, who was this distinguished guest? She should have guessed it.

Lin Qingyang "dressed up carefully" as the Prime Minister instructed. She wore a long silk gown with watercolors and light pink embroidered shoes. She looked calm and confident, elegant and refined. The makeup on her oval face was not heavy, which made her skin look even whiter.

When Lin Qingyang arrived at the front yard, he saw the Prime Minister and his uncle sitting on the upper right. Sitting high up in the upper seat was today's distinguished guest, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

When Lin Qingyang entered the room, he first saluted the prince, then saluted the prime minister and his uncle, and then stepped aside.

"Miss Lin, don't just stand there. I heard you and Caihe play a duet at the Xiao family last time. It was so clear and melodious, like the sound of cicadas chirping on the treetops or the sound of a spring in the mountains. It was simply heavenly music. I can't forget it."

Lin Qingyang sat on a stool at the side, listening to the prince's praise.

"Your Highness is too kind."

"No, today when I came to the Prime Minister's residence, I remembered the instrument the girl played that day, and I talked about it with the Prime Minister and the master. After all, not many people were lucky enough to hear it that day."

The prince said.

The Prime Minister looked at Lin Qingyang who was very polite and said, "Qing'er, the prince came to the mansion today and said that you played the piano very well that day. I, your grandfather, have never heard you play the piano. Why don't you play it again today?"

"Yes, I'll go back and get the pipa."

Lin Qingyang stood up and saluted, then went back to get the pipa.

The Prime Minister in the room waited until Lin Qingyang left, and then spoke again: "Your Highness, my granddaughter has indeed suffered a lot outside these years. Now that I am back, there are still many things I don't understand. If there is anything I did not do well, please bear with me, Your Highness."

"Your Excellency, what are you saying? There are probably not many people in the capital who can compare to Miss Lin." said the prince.

As she spoke, Lin Qingyang returned to the front yard holding the pipa.

"Miss Lin is back, just play a song for us to enjoy." The prince seemed impatient.

Lin Qingyang played a simple song, and when the song was over, a flash of satisfaction flashed across the face of the prime minister. He didn't expect that this granddaughter would look like his daughter, but he hoped that this granddaughter would not be like his daughter.
