In a courtyard on the outskirts of the city, a scholar-like man was sitting in the shade of a large tree reading a book.

The black shadow quickly ran towards the scholar-like man, then knelt down on one knee in front of him, clasped his hands into fists and shouted respectfully: "Your Highness! ”

"Huh?" The scholar-like man raised his head and looked at the man in black in front of him with a pair of clear eyes.

His eyes were clear and deep, the bridge of his nose was straight, his thin lips were slightly narrowed, and that handsome face turned out to be Bai Xingqi, who had seen Ye Qiqi in the restaurant a long time ago.

Bai Xingqian frowned slightly, looking at the panicked appearance of his subordinates, and said in a low voice: "Why are you so flustered?" ”

"Your Highness, your subordinates have found the princess!" The man in black said with a hint of excitement in his voice, and said towards Bai Xing.

"What!?" Bai Xingqi, who was extremely calm one second, had already thrown away the book in his hand the next second, stood up, looked at the man in black, and said in disbelief: "What did you just say?" ”

"Your Highness, your subordinates said that you have found the princess!" The man in black raised his head, looked at Bai Xingqi standing in front of him, and repeated it excitedly.

"Is it really a princess? You're not mistaken? Bai Xingqi's eyes flashed with excitement and asked.

"Really!" The man in black nodded and said, "The subordinates saw that piece of longevity lock jade, which is exactly the same as the picture that His Royal Highness showed to his subordinates before, it is definitely a princess, and it can't be wrong." ”

"Where's the princess? Where did you find her?? As soon as Bai Xingqian heard the piece of longevity lock jade, he immediately asked anxiously.

"If I go back to Her Royal Highness, my subordinates saw Her Royal Highness the Princess at the gate of Jing'an Palace, and she ...... She seems to be with King Jing'an. The man in black hesitated a little and continued: "Before my subordinates came back, I specially inquired, the princess's current name is Ye Qiqi, and it seems that she was married to King Jing'an by the emperor of Mexico. ”

"Nonsense!" Bai Xingqian frowned, looked at the man in black kneeling in front of him, and said in an unhappy voice: "How can the princess of my Night Kingdom be casually married to a mere prince by the emperor of the Mo Kingdom!?" ”

"This ......," the man in black didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Wait a minute, Ye Qiqi?" After Bai Xingqi said what he said just now, he came back to his senses, he frowned and thought about it, and then said uncertainly: "Ye Qiqi...... I should have seen her before, and at that time I also thought she looked a little like my uncle and aunt, but after shaking hands with her, I found that her bone age was not quite right, the princess should be thirteen years old in a few years, but Ye Qiqi's bone age looked like she was more than ten years old...... Are you sure it's her? ”

"Sure!" The man in black nodded towards Bai Xingqi and said: "Has Your Highness forgotten, didn't we find out before, when the queen mother was framed by the concubine, she ate the cardamom jade pill that circulated in the rivers and lakes, and the subordinates heard that after taking the medicine, you can stay young forever, but the queen mother was pregnant at the time, and after taking the medicine, she was born prematurely, so Her Royal Highness the princess may have that medicine in her body, if this is the case, it is also possible that Her Royal Highness the princess has growth retardation." ”

"So...... Sister Qiqi may indeed be ...... because of that medicine," Bai Xingqian nodded.
