THE QUEEN'S TRUE LOVE

CHAPTER 22

"I just want to know, other than my status as Crown Prince, what kind of man am I to you?"

Peng Peng immediately excitedly replied. The first impression towards a person like the mature, always cautious and cold Qi Sheng was unapproachable. He was even stone-faced all day, it was hard to joke at him, let alone romantic words.

"Even if someone wants to tease you, he must first practice how to refrain from laughing in front of you."

While men are handsome and jolly, they are usually more approachable. With such a man it feels comfortable, good to interact and joke with laughter until finally their relationship becomes closer.

Qi Sheng did not like the answer. "You chose the wrong choice."

"There's nothing wrong or right in this matter."

Not wanting to discuss it any further, Qi Sheng told her to just rest and then leave.

The next day, his Eunuch Qi Sheng came to see Peng Peng and reported that Qi Sheng was going to Northern Jiang to do an inspection and ordered Peng Peng to accompany him.

Qi Sheng would go first with his personal bodyguards and Peng Peng would follow along with someone who would escort him.

Peng Peng did not want to leave, but Kasim told him that traveling with the Crown Prince was a great honor.

Peng Peng was annoyed, why would he also have to go to the military base in the north. But at the end of the day he's gone with his bodyguard too.

Peng Peng and his bodyguards arrived at a campground. But the Guards told me that this is not a military base in North Jiang, it's just a food delivery and some military supplies.

"I must accompany my husband. I don't have a choice."

"I know very well what an army uniform looks like. Your look is very pretty and trendy."

"Who said? This kind of clothing is not old. I danced like this just so I wouldn't be recognized."

But while turning his attention to his bodyguard Peng Peng, Yang Yan looked suspicious. The bodyguard seemed to be aware of Yang Yan's gaze and so he hurriedly led Peng Peng onward.

They again drove their horses in a direction and Peng Peng shouted a promise that he would bring an osmanthus cake for Yang Yan when he returned later.

Unable to shake off his stolen feelings towards his Guard Peng Peng, Yang Yan tried to ask one of the soldiers about which path to the military base in Northern Jiang.

But the bodyguard instead pointed in the opposite direction from the direction Peng Peng had been heading. The one Peng Peng was heading towards Qing Bu.

Yang Yan was alarmed and ordered the bodyguard to inform Jiu Wang of the matter. He himself immediately went after Peng Peng.

After a long drive, Peng Peng began to notice something strange. Why have they not reached it yet, is he sure that this is the right direction. The bodyguard assured me that this was the right way.

Peng Peng just said it, when in fact he began to suspect. But he sure didn't have any grudges with the bodyguard, but why did the bodyguard want to kill him.

Peng Peng also got a stomach ache and tried to escape. But the bodyguard pulled out a sword and chased after him. It was fortunate that Yang Yan arrived just then and directly fired an arrow at the assassin.
