Chapter 372: With new people, old people are forgotten

Outside the house, Shen Cheng had already gone away quietly.

When I was hiding and spying just now, I was almost discovered by the eldest prince. This guy has a very sharp intuition and a strong resistance to thought magic.

And just as Zhao Nanxing said, the eldest prince himself is extremely powerful and has already touched the power of destiny.

Even if Shen Cheng was sure of defeating him, he would probably have to go through a fierce battle. It would be even more impossible to capture him quietly and interrogate him in this imperial capital.

However, the unexpected gain from this eavesdropping was not small, as I actually heard Ruan Qingsha's hiding place.

Judging from the eldest prince’s reaction, Ruan Qingsha should be hiding in the second princess’s mansion.

Shen Cheng must race against time to find Ruan Qingsha before the eldest prince sends troops to surround the second princess's residence.

Compared with the eldest prince's extremely large small palace, the second princess's residence is smaller, but that is relative.

When Shen Cheng arrived here, he found that the second princess's mansion was like a small park. There were at least hundreds of buildings inside. People who were not familiar with the place would get lost if they came here for the first time.

Niu Mo has never been here, and Shen Cheng doesn’t know either, but it doesn’t matter, just find a tour guide.

He landed directly from the air, hypnotized a team of patrolling guards, and picked out one who was familiar with the road conditions to lead the way for him.

The defense of the entire princess's mansion was extremely tight, but for Shen Cheng, it was like entering an empty place.

If you are strong enough, you can do whatever you want.

There is an artificially dug lake in the palace, and a villa is built on the island in the middle of the lake. This is the second princess' favorite place, and usually only her confidants can get close to it.

In a villa on the island, Ruan Qingsha was lying on the bed bored.

In front of the bed is a wide floor-to-ceiling window, through which you can see the extremely beautiful lake view outside. Even at night, the lake is dotted with gorgeous lights.

But Ruan Qingsha was in no mood to appreciate the beautiful scenery. She had too many heavy thoughts in her heart, which made her frown.

She was very worried about Zhao Nanxing, Han Zhiqing and others who were implicated by her, and didn't know how they were doing now.

The Dragon Domain Imperial Capital is not like other places. With Zhao Nanxing's strength, he cannot rank here at all. If he is not careful, his life will be in danger.

Besides that, Ruan Qingsha cares more about her mother.

But although she is temporarily safe now, she feels like she is in prison and can't go anywhere.

The tightly closed door was suddenly pushed open, and a graceful woman walked in.

She is like a beautiful lady, and time has left no trace on her delicate and beautiful face.

There is a pair of sharp dragon horns on its forehead, and its skin is covered with beautiful dragon scale patterns.

Just by looking at these two distinctive features, you can tell that she is the second princess of the empire.

The second princess came in with a thermos lunch box and said softly, "Get up and eat. I asked the kitchen to prepare your favorite food."

Ruan Qingsha jumped up from the bed and asked quickly, "Sister, did you go to the palace today?"

The second princess put the lunch box on the table and took out the food inside while answering: "No, sister, I am busy with official duties. How can I have so much time and reason to come to the palace?"

Ruan Qingsha asked anxiously, "Isn't my mother's affairs more important than your official duties?"

The second princess smiled faintly: "It is precisely because mother's matter is so important that we need to proceed slowly and carefully. Otherwise, if we act rashly like a fool, won't we become a wanted criminal like you?"

Ruan Qingsha was suddenly speechless. Although she knew her sister did not mean to mock her, she still blushed slightly.

Seeing the Second Princess's calmness, Ruan Qingsha finally couldn't help but ask, "Sister, don't you believe what I said?"

The second princess looked at her with loving eyes: "You are my sister, and you are not scheming. I can see through you at a glance. Of course I believe what you say."

Ruan Qingsha felt that she was being treated sarcastically: "Do you believe me because I am your sister, or do you believe me because I am a fool without any schemes?"

"All."

The second princess spoke bluntly and handed her a pair of chopsticks: "Eat, although I believe what you said, but what you said is too bizarre, I need to spend more time to verify it carefully."

Seeing her sister say this, Ruan Qingsha had no choice but to take the chopsticks from her and start eating.

The second princess sat aside, took out the tablet she carried with her, and began to handle official business.

The room fell silent, with only the sound of tapping on the screen and soft chewing making the noise.

While eating, Ruan Qingsha watched her sister who was handling official business out of the corner of her eye.

She wanted to bring up some topics to talk about, but she didn't know what to say. After spending more than ten days together, she realized that she and her sister had absolutely nothing in common and had no interests or hobbies.

Before this, Ruan Qingsha's relationship with these two brothers and sisters was actually very distant.

The eldest prince and the second princess were born very early. They were trained as heirs from childhood and were keen to participate in various national affairs and government affairs.

By the time Ruan Qingsha was born, the eldest prince and the second princess had already become leaders of their respective camps. They had very few opportunities to interact with their youngest sister, and they probably spoke less than a hundred sentences to her in a year.

Not to mention that Ruan Qingsha ran away from home for many years. When she came back two years ago, the eldest prince and the second princess even made her feel very unfamiliar, let alone any family affection.

After the assassination, Nguyen Thanh Sa escaped from the palace and had nowhere to go for a while.

Finally she decided to take a gamble and went straight to the second princess's house.

Because Ruan Qingsha intuitively felt uncomfortable staying with the seemingly strict eldest prince, the second princess, on the contrary, had some subtle kindness towards her.

In the end, Ruan Qingsha made the right bet. After hearing her story of the whole incident, the Second Princess immediately hid her away and began to refuse visitors, cutting off the flow of information from inside and outside.

Later it was proved that Ruan Qingsha's choice was very correct, because she was listed as a wanted criminal within the next day. This was obviously secretly promoted by the eldest prince, because he was in charge of the public security and criminal investigation departments.

During the more than ten days of contact, Ruan Qingsha discovered that the second princess did have some sisterly affection for her. Although it was not much, it was enough for her to take action to protect her sister.

However, their life experiences were so different that they had little in common and they usually spent their time together in silence.

“Frame, frame, frame.”

Suddenly, a slight knock on the door broke the silence.

The second princess's beautiful eyebrows wrinkled slightly.

In order to prevent Ruan Qingsha's existence from being revealed, she had found a reason to drive everyone off the island. Who would dare to disobey her orders and come up?

Even if it is really an emergency, you should call to notify them.

Ruan Qingsha was about to speak when the second princess said to her, "You hide first. I'll go out and take a look."

Ruan Qingsha nodded, and after the second princess left, she immediately turned off the lights in the room, put away the half-eaten food and tableware, and ignited a high-temperature flame with her hands to vaporize all these things, destroying the body and all traces.

Just as Ruan Qingsha was about to find a place to hide, her shoulders suddenly felt heavy and a hand slapped her from behind. Ruan Qingsha reacted very quickly, raising her elbow and thrusting back hard.

The attack missed. Ruan Qingsha's body twisted violently, and her other hand clenched into a fist, which she swung backwards heavily.

Snapped!
The fist that was swung out was caught by a hand.

"So fierce!"

Shen Cheng took a step forward with a smile and walked out of the darkness.

Ruan Qingsha looked at the face she had been thinking about day and night, and was stunned for a moment.

"It's only been two years since we last met, have you forgotten me?"

Shen Cheng suddenly said with some worry: "When new people come, forget the old ones..."

Before he could finish his words, Ruan Qingsha suddenly rushed over and hugged him tightly, refusing to let go.

Shen Cheng was slightly startled, then he opened his arms and hugged her.

The two hugged each other, and in this extremely quiet room, they could almost hear each other's heartbeats.

Unlike Shen Cheng's steady heartbeat, Ruan Qingsha's heartbeat was extremely fast. It was obvious that suddenly seeing Shen Cheng was an extremely exciting thing for her.

After hugging each other tightly for a minute, Ruan Qingsha suddenly changed her expression, pinched the flesh on Shen Cheng's waist with her hands, and said fiercely: "It's been two years. Do you know how I have been living these two years? I have been waiting for you to come to me, but you are like a dead person, with no news at all."

Shen Cheng laughed: "If I die, won't you become a widow?"

"Go away, I'm heartbroken at best."

Ruan Qingsha breathed in the long-lost scent of Shen Cheng, and her originally anxious mood miraculously became relaxed, as if all problems could be solved with him here.

"when did you come?"

"I just arrived a few days ago. I have found Zhao Nanxing and Han Zhiqing. They are both safe now."

"That's good."

Ruan Qingsha breathed a sigh of relief, and a huge weight was finally lifted off her shoulders.

Shen Cheng gently pushed Ruan Qingsha away, held her face with both hands, and slowly approached.

Ruan Qingsha's cheeks suddenly turned hot and her eyes became evasive.

But looking at Shen Cheng's approaching face, she subconsciously closed her eyes. But after waiting for a while, the expected situation did not happen, so she opened her eyes in confusion.

Shen Cheng smiled slightly: "Someone is watching, do you really want me to kiss you?"

Is anyone watching?

Ruan Qingsha only reacted at this time, and quickly broke free from Shen Cheng's hands, turning her head to look towards the door of the room.

Sure enough, the second princess came back at some point and was standing at the door, staring at the two of them with a half-smile: "You can just pretend I don't exist, I have no objection."

Ruan Qingsha blushed immediately and wished she could dig a hole in the ground and bury herself in it.

However, no one paid attention to her embarrassment, as the second princess's attention was all focused on Shen Cheng.

The strange knocking sound just now was obviously caused by Shen Cheng. After the second princess took a walk outside, she immediately realized that she had fallen into a trap.

She sneaked back quietly, wanting to see who the enemy was. Unexpectedly, her sister was unaware, but this mysterious man discovered her at the first time. This kind of strength should not be underestimated. The second princess smiled and said, "Young man, even if you have a close relationship with my sister, I am the owner here. You ran in without saying hello, isn't it inappropriate?"

Although she was smiling, there was not much smile in her eyes.

Shen Cheng completely ignored the pressure from the Second Princess and replied in a relaxed tone: "Even if I want to say hello, I have to meet you first. Why don't I leave now and just pretend I haven't been here."

Even if Ruan Qingsha was slow, she noticed that something was wrong between her sister and Shen Cheng. She quickly said to the second princess, "Sister, this is Shen Cheng, my boyfriend. He came in because he was anxious to find me."

When she said the word "boyfriend", Ruan Qingsha's face turned red again, and she felt shy as if she was bringing her boyfriend to meet her parents.

The second princess was very surprised. She knew how high her sister's standards were and how she looked down upon all the young talents. Yet, she had found such a capable boyfriend quietly.

"Don't worry, I don't mean to blame him."

The second princess smiled faintly: "I'm just curious, sister, you are hiding here with me, and only the two of us know about it, how did your boyfriend know about it?"

Ruan Qingsha also looked at Shen Cheng in confusion: "Yes, how did you know I was here?"

"Since I'm here, it proves that your presence here has been leaked."

Shen Cheng said truthfully: "I just came from the eldest prince. Through the undercover he had planted in the princess's mansion, he knew that you, Qingsha, were hiding here, and he has already sent people to mobilize troops to surround the princess's mansion."

Shen Cheng's tone was neither hurried nor panicked.

Now that he has found Ruan Qingsha, he can send Ruan Qingsha to the microcosmic world at any time, and no one will be able to find her again.

But the Second Princess and Ruan Qingsha's faces changed drastically after hearing his words.

"It looks like some of the borers weren't cleaned out."

The second princess's face darkened slightly. She knew, of course, that the eldest prince had placed many undercover agents in his mansion, and she did the same.

After taking in Ruan Qingsha, the second princess set about eliminating all the undercover agents, but she didn't expect that there were still some that slipped through the net.

Ruan Qingsha grabbed Shen Cheng's hand and said to the second princess, "Sister, I will leave immediately."

"Don't worry, it will take some time to mobilize the troops. It won't be that fast."

The second princess's complexion returned to normal, and she even became as calm and unhurried as Shen Cheng.

She looked at Shen Cheng and said, "Your boyfriend is not nervous at all. Does he have a plan?"

Ruan Qingsha nudged Shen Cheng with her elbow: "Go ahead."

Shen Cheng nodded: "I do have a good plan. When the eldest prince leads his troops here, we will invite him to the living room alone, and then smash the cup as a signal. Eight hundred swordsmen will come out from under the table and chop off his dog head in one fell swoop."

Ruan Qingsha frowned and pinched Shen Cheng with her hand, telling him not to joke at this time.

The second princess covered her mouth and laughed, her body shaking with laughter, as if she was really amused by Shen Cheng's words: "It's indeed a good idea, let's do it. I see that you are quite powerful, you can fight against 800 swordsmen and axemen by yourself, then you can just hide under the table."

Shen Cheng knew that the Second Princess was not a pushover, so he stopped joking: "I have a teleportation technique that can immediately send Ruan Qingsha to another place without worrying about being discovered."

He didn't want too many people to know that he had a miniature world, so he used teleportation to cover it up. It looked the same anyway.
