Ye Jingtang carried the bird and walked over to her. “I knew Your Highness was coming over, so 1 waited for you. If you came and 1 wasn’t here, you would be angry again…”

?

Dongfang Liren felt that Ye Jingtang was saying that she wasn’t easy to serve. She wanted to scold him, but when she saw his face, she couldn’t help recalling the moment their lips met last night.

She harrumphed lightly, took the bird, and turned around to walk in front. “1 heard from the palace servants that you were here, so I came to take a look. Also, 1 have to remind you that you’re becoming more and more unruly. You’re the deputy commander of the Black Office and my subordinate. 1 am tolerant of you because I appreciate your ability. If you continue to be arrogant because of my favor…”

“I know.” Ye Jingtang listened attentively to the princess’s teachings and accompanied her to her carriage. After she was finished talking, he looked at her skirt. “Are your legs okay?”

Dongfang Liren blinked and turned to look at Ye Jingtang’s body. “I’m fine. What about you? Have you recovered?”

“It was just scratches. There aren’t any traces left.”

“Hmph!” Dongfang Liren recalled how Ye Jingtang had risked his life to protect her last night and couldn’t bear to continue lecturing him. When the palace servants moved her carriage over, she boarded the carriage and sat down on the couch. “You were injured and need to rest more. Get in.”

Hearing this, Ye Jingtang didn’t decline. He boarded the carriage with the bird, sat by the window, and fed the bird breakfast.

Dongfang Liren had kissed Ye Jingtang on the cheek before, but it had been an accident. It was different from yesterday. Now that they were in the same enclosed space, she felt a little awkward. She couldn’t put on the aura of a princess, so she simply took out a book and drawing tools from the wooden box beside her, making the inside of the carriage look like an office.

Ye Jingtang didn’t disturb her at first, but after feeding the bird for a while, he suddenly noticed that the dignified princess, who was working hard, would draw a few strokes on the book, look up at him, and then continue.

?

Ye Jingtang’s heart stirred slightly. He placed the bird in the food box and let it eat by itself. Then when Dongfang Liren wasn’t paying attention, he leaned over.

As expected, there was a piece of white paper in the book. At this moment, half a picture had already been drawn. It was the scene of the little thief and the heroine kissing.

The tall heroine had the same height and curves as Dongfang Liren, but her face couldn’t be seen.

On the other hand, Ye Jingtang could clearly see the little thief’s expression and demeanor. He was pressing one hand on the back of the beauty and kissing her forcefully.

Bang!

Dongfang Liren was caught off guard. She suddenly closed the book and frowned. “Who let you come close?”

Ye Jingtang quickly sat back down and smiled. “Isn’t this drawing the reward for me? I was just taking a look…”

Dongfang Liren’s face turned red. There was nothing she could do about this scoundrel. She raised her hand and gestured outside. “Get out.”

Ye Jingtang didn’t say much. He got out of the carriage and walked by the carriage window.

Whoosh!

Dongfang Liren closed up the carriage window and didn’t let him look.

But as Ye Jingtang walked, he could still hear the sound of the bird burying its head in food and the faint sound of a brush touching paper…

The carriage drove through the flat street, quickly left the Imperial City, and arrived outside the Prince of Jing Estate.

Dumdum didn’t invite Ye Jingtang to sit inside. With the mentality that he was already here, after watching her enter the estate, he brought the bird to the Black Office at the back of the estate.

Last night, there had been a mess in the east of the city. The constables were all working overtime to patrol, but it wasn’t easy to catch experts who could set up traps in advance. They didn’t find anything.

As soon as Ye Jingtang walked into the Black Office, before he could ask anyone, he saw ‘Iron-Armed Impermanence’ She Long running over. He cupped his hands and thanked him from afar. “Sir Ye, it’s all thanks to your divine prediction last night. If the Hong Mountain Gang had really killed Liu Qiansheng, I would have rejoiced for nothing…”

She Long was an early-stage Grandmaster. It was indeed a rare opportunity for his son to be chosen by a former Martial Chief as his last disciple. Yesterday, Liu Qiansheng had almost been killed, scaring She Long so much that he couldn’t sleep even now. He wished he could stay beside Liu Qiansheng and be his bodyguard.

Ye Jingtang raised his hand and asked, “How are the two people we caught yesterday?”

“Shi Yanfeng was poisoned by several types of poison. The poisons had already attacked his heart. Imperial Physician Wang could keep him alive, but it was meaningless. He stopped breathing in the morning. The corpse was sent to Zhang Jinglin for him to study the Golden Scale Skin.”

“As for Zheng Kun, we tortured him all night, but he was quite stubborn. He’d rather die than confess…”

“Really? Let’s go over and take a look…”
