Chapter 394 The Scumbag Woman Reborn, the Regent Prince Refuses to Be a Sucker 12
Yun Qing thought and thought, but still couldn't understand why Helian Yin suddenly got angry. No wonder everyone said that the Regent was unpredictable and his mind was hard to fathom!
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. After sitting for a while, she angrily lay back down and kicked the blanket twice. "Fine, don't come then! Who cares!"
Qi Ying: !!!
Wait, so the princess had been waiting for the prince all this time? Why didn't she say so earlier!
Yun Qing tossed and turned in bed, trying to fall asleep, but couldn't.
She didn't know how long she had been rolling around, but the more she slept, the more irritable she became. So angry that she kicked her legs a couple more times with her eyes closed, covered herself with the blanket, and cursed, "Helian Yin, you jerk!"
Then she realized someone was pulling her blanket.
Yun Qing's body stiffened, and she closed her eyes, not daring to move. She was so frightened that her hair stood on end, and she trembled uncontrollably.
"it's me."
Upon hearing Helian Yin's voice, Yun Qing stopped trembling, but she was furious!
She was so angry that she threw off the covers and sat up, but before she could say anything, Helian Yin turned away.
Yun Qing thought he was about to leave, so she quickly grabbed his sleeve, and became even angrier!
"Did you come here just to scare me?"
Helian Yin gently patted her hand and said in a low, husky voice, "I'm not leaving. Put your clothes on first."
By the light of the still-lit lamp in the room, Yun Qing looked down and realized that her nightgown had become loose from rolling around on the bed.
She quickly withdrew her hand, straightened her clothes, wrapped herself in the blanket, and then glared at Helian Yin's back, saying angrily, "Isn't the Regent supposed to be a gentleman? Why are you sneaking into my boudoir again?"
Hearing the noise, Helian Yin knew she was done getting ready, so he turned around and looked at her angry expression, saying helplessly, "Didn't you tell me I didn't need to come at night?"
Yun Qing looked at him, blinked, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, "You're not angry about this, are you?"
Helian Yin remained silent.
Yun Qing was puzzled. "If you want to come, just say so! Would I dare to stop you?"
"Dare or not is different from want or not."
"What's different? You still came, didn't you?"
Helian Yin: ...
He seemed thoughtful, his gaze sweeping over her for a moment before he slowly said, "So... I can do whatever I want?"
Yun Qing instinctively pulled the blanket tighter around herself, looking at him warily. "You... what do you want to do? Don't do anything rash..."
Seeing Helian Yin reach out his hand to her, Yun Qing was so frightened that she kicked her legs and moved back, only to be flicked on the forehead by him.
"Ugh..." Yun Qing struggled to free one hand, covered her forehead, and glared at him angrily.
But then she saw Helian Yin waving a food box in front of her.
Yun Qing immediately greeted her with a smile, her voice softening, "Pastries?"
She threw off the covers and got out of bed, completely forgetting her earlier wariness.
Helian Yin placed the food box on the table, opened it, and took out a plate of pastries. There were still only four pieces, but each piece was a different type of pastry.
"Try which one you like best, and I'll have someone send it to you tomorrow."
Yun Qing sat down at the table, cupped her face in her hands, and exclaimed with delight, "These are all new pastries? The chefs at the Prince's mansion are truly amazing!"
"Only the cook is good?"
Yun Qing looked up at him, blinked, and said sincerely, "The Regent is the best at recognizing and using people!"
Helian Yin couldn't help but chuckle; when there's food to eat, one's words are sweeter than anyone else's.
After laughing, watching her happily eating the pastries, he hesitated for a moment before saying, "Qingqing..."
Yun Qing looked up at him, then looked down again. "Wh...what are you doing?"
How annoying! Who gave him permission to call her that?
Helian Yin looked at her bright red ears and his gaze softened. "There's something I need to tell you."
Hearing the seriousness in his tone, Yun Qing looked up at him again. "What is it?"
“You and I are engaged, which will bring many dangers, so I have arranged a secret guard team around you.”
Yun Qing: !!!
When did this happen? Did they hear me saying bad things about Helian Yin? Did they find out that I was being perfunctory with him?
Yun Qing's mind was filled with questions, and she felt completely overwhelmed.
Helian Yin called out loudly, "Qi Ying."
Yun Qing felt a sudden "whoosh" and a person appeared in front of her—a heroic and spirited woman.
Qi Ying clasped her hands in greeting and said, "Your subordinate greets Your Highness."
Helian Yin explained, "Qi Ying has twelve secret guards under her command, making a total of thirteen including her. They are all women, which makes it easier for them to protect you closely."
"If anything happens in the future, don't be afraid. They'll be there to protect you."
Yun Qing remained silent for a while. Just as Helian Yin was wondering if she couldn't accept that his people were watching her all day, Yun Qing suddenly leaned closer to him and whispered, "Your Highness, I want to discuss something with you."
"what's up?"
Yun Qing gestured with her hand and asked with great interest, "Can I learn this kind of 'whoosh whoosh' kung fu?"
Helian Yin was relieved and couldn't help but pat her head, saying, "If you're not afraid of hardship, Qi Ying can teach you. I can also teach you when I have time."
Just then, Qi Ying suddenly heard a noise, and "whoosh" she went out. A moment later, she "whoosh" she came back in, making Yun Qing's eyes light up.
If she's that powerful, she wouldn't even know who did it when she beats up Jiang Yunyan.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, we have discovered a sneaky servant sneaking into Your Highness's courtyard."
Yun Qing's eyes widened in surprise. "Where did this little thief come from, daring to steal from my yard?"
Helian Yin pondered for a moment and said, "I'm afraid it's not just a petty thief. We should interrogate him carefully."
"Yes."
The nightingale went off to investigate the man.
A short while later, there was a sudden commotion outside the courtyard.
"Quick! I saw that thief enter the Second Miss's courtyard. We mustn't let him hurt her!"
Yun Qing frowned.
Helian Yin stood up and said, "I'm afraid they're up to no good. Put your clothes on and I'll leave first."
He paused for a moment, then reached out and touched her head, comforting her, "Don't be afraid. Remember you are the Regent's Consort. You don't need to be afraid of anyone. I'll cover for you if anything happens."
Yun Qing: Now that you say that, I'm not afraid anymore!
Is there anyone more terrifying than the Regent?
A maid led a group of people and rushed into Yunqing's courtyard. The maids and servants in Yunqing's courtyard heard the noise and rushed over to stop them.
"Hey! Don't stop me! I saw with my own eyes that the servant stole something and ran into the Second Miss's courtyard after being discovered. If you stop him like this and something happens to the Second Miss, you will all be beaten to death!"
With a mix of explanation and intimidation, the maids and servants hesitated for a moment before someone burst in and headed straight for Yun Qing's boudoir.
Before he even touched the door, it was kicked back by someone.
It was difficult to see clearly at night, but the head maid could only vaguely make out what appeared to be a thin man standing at the door of the second young lady's boudoir. She paused for a moment, then immediately shouted, "My God! How can there be a man in the second young lady's boudoir?"
Upon hearing this, Yun Qing slammed her hand on the table and stood up!
She finally understood what was going on; they were trying to smear her reputation!
That servant boy doesn't seem to be an ordinary thief after all.
If there weren't bodyguards, he wouldn't have been able to sneak into her room, would he?
Lady Ning'an was alarmed and rushed over with her people. She heard the maid's shout and was so angry that she almost fainted.
"Tear this slut's mouth apart!"
Her men immediately seized the maid who was shouting and yelling.
Lady Ning'an hurriedly went to Yun Qing's boudoir, terrified that Yun Qing had been tricked by villains.
She looked at the people guarding the door of Yun Qing's room and was about to question them.
Qi Ying stepped forward, clasped her hands in greeting, and said, "Greetings, Lady Ning'an. I am Nightingale, a secret guard of the Regent's Palace. I am here on the Regent's orders to protect the Second Miss. The servant who broke in has already been apprehended. Please rest assured, Lady Ning'an."
The maidservant beside Lady Ning'an was carrying a lantern. With the light, it was easy to see that she was a woman. However, Nightingale dressed in a more masculine style for ease of movement, so it was no wonder that the maidservant mistook her for a woman.
At this moment, Yunqing opened the door and threw herself into the arms of Lady Ning'an, crying, "Mother, you must do justice for me! This maid clearly wanted to kill me. I don't know who instructed her, she has such a vicious mind..."
"I am the future regent's wife! She not only wants to harm me, but also wants to kill our entire Marquis's mansion!"
"If the Regent hadn't sent bodyguards to protect me, my daughter would be in deep trouble and wouldn't be able to clear her name..."
Yun Qing glanced furtively at the Marquis of Ning'an who had already arrived, and cried even louder, "Mother... I'm innocent..."
Lady Ning'an also burst into tears, "My poor daughter...who is it that can't stand to see our Marquis's mansion doing well..."
"Mother, I'm so scared... Maybe I should ask the Regent to help me..."
Marquis Ning'an roared, "Investigate! I want to see who has the audacity to commit such atrocities in my Marquis's residence!"
Then he reassured Yun Qing, "Yun Qing, don't worry, once your father finds the murderer, he will not let him off lightly!"
Yun Qing wiped away her tears, her face full of emotion, "Thank you, Father."
Yunqing's first suspicion was Jiang Yunyan. Her crying was because she was worried that Marquis Ning'an wanted to settle things peacefully and protect Jiang Yunyan.
Anyway, she didn't really trust her father.
If her father weren't so unreliable, she and her mother wouldn't cry so much!
