The princess traveled through time for a year to help the prince build his kingdom and then left

Chapter 190 A humble gentleman

August 6th, noon, Kunyang City.

Chu Tiancheng, Zuo Qingyun, Wang Feng and others are discussing the return plan.

Just then, Qin Rubing walked in slowly with light steps, a faint smile on her face.

Zhuxiang, who was following closely behind her, was carefully holding a tray with more than a dozen bowls of exquisite ice cream on it.

Qin Rubing greeted the generals present:

"The weather has been getting hotter these days, why don't you try the ice cream I made myself."

After saying that, she gestured to Zhuxiang to distribute it to everyone.

"It's delicious." Wang Xing was the first to praise it. "I've never tasted such delicious iced drinks."

Qin Rubing smiled and looked at Chu Tiancheng.

"My Lord, are you ready to return?"

Chu Tiancheng nodded, "The good news should have reached the imperial capital today. It's time for us to go back."

Wang Feng said: "I have been out for so long, it is time to go back, and I am returning in triumph, how can I not be happy?"

At this moment, the jade bracelet on Qin Rubing's wrist suddenly vibrated violently.

Qin Rubing's expression changed slightly, and a trace of doubt rose in her heart:

"What's going on? Is there any danger?"

She was stunned for a moment, but soon came to her senses and her expression returned to calm.

However, this subtle change in expression did not escape Zuo Qingyun's eyes, he saw everything.

Qin Rubing quickly calmed herself down and quietly walked out of the house.

She came to the yard, looked around and found that there was no one else.

So she walked to the flower bed, pretending to admire the flowers planted in the yard, while also paying attention to the movements around her.

Taking a deep breath, Qin Rubing closed her eyes and called Xiaoyu.

"Xiaoyu."

"I'm here."

"What happened?"

"Master, the assassins sent by Qi Zhendong have infiltrated Kunyang City and are preparing to assassinate the prince and you."

"Oh, I see."

Zuo Qingyun came to Qin Rubing's side at some point. Seeing that she closed her eyes and frowned slightly, he couldn't help but ask with concern:

"Princess, what's wrong with you?"

Qin Rubing was startled and opened her eyes suddenly.

Seeing that it was Zuo Qingyun, she waved her hand, smiled faintly, and said, "I'm fine."

Zuo Qingyun looked at Qin Rubing in confusion, "Don't you trust me?"

"No." Qin Rubing wanted to explain, but didn't know where to start.

Zuo Qingyun looked at Qin Rubing's embarrassed and nervous appearance, and couldn't help feeling helpless and distressed.

He knew that everyone had secrets that they were unwilling to share, especially people like Qin Rubing.

So, he said softly: "Since you don't want to say it, I won't ask any more questions."

After saying that, he turned and left.

After hearing Zuo Qingyun's words, Qin Rubing breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, she felt an inexplicable sense of loss in her heart.

She was grateful for Zuo Qingyun's consideration and understanding, but she also felt that she seemed to have let him down.

Zuo Qingyun walked away from Qin Rubing step by step, with a myriad of thoughts in his mind.

He realizes that despite their special connection, there is still an unbridgeable gap between them.

However, he was not discouraged and believed that time would slowly bring them closer.

Looking at Zuo Qingyun's back, Qin Rubing couldn't help but wonder:

"This Mr. Zuo seems to be a little too concerned about me..."

She looked away from Zuo Qingyun and sighed inwardly, thinking, "Chu Tiancheng is still here!"

Qin Rubing couldn't help but fall into deep thought. She began to doubt whether Zuo Qingyun knew that she and Chu Tiancheng had not actually consummated their marriage.

After all, it was no secret that they had been sleeping in separate rooms since they got married.

However, Qin Rubing always felt that Zuo Qingyun's behavior was a little strange, and he seemed to have special attention and care for her.

"Maybe it's just my illusion..." Qin Rubing shook her head gently, trying to drive these messy thoughts out of her mind.

She took a deep breath, shook her head, and calmed herself down.

What are you thinking about? Don't let your imagination run wild.

Although Mr. Zuo is a handsome man, he is not the target customer.

The target customer is King Yan Chu Tiancheng.

She has been here for five months. Once she completes her mission, she will automatically return to the modern era.

No matter how modest and gentlemanly these ancient men are, I won't keep them company.

I really miss modern life.
