Hearing her second brother's voice, Qin Siyao felt like it was all over.
'How did my second brother get here?'
"Greetings, Second Prince!" all the guards saluted in unison.
Qin Jingyuan recognized his own sister at a single glance.
The Captain of the Guard on duty said to the Second Prince, "The Princess said she had a sudden craving for Beggar's Chicken from West City and was sending a Maid to fetch it. Second Prince, you see…"
The Captain of the Guard didn't finish, merely glancing at the Princess not far away.
Qin Jingyuan had already questioned the female guard he'd met and learned the whole story.
"I'll handle this. All of you can just pretend you didn't see anything. Go prepare a carriage. As it happens, I need to leave the palace for a bit myself. I'll take her to buy the Beggar's Chicken."
"Eh?"
Qin Siyao, who had thought she was about to be caught red-handed by her second brother, lifted her head in disbelief, blinking as she stared at him.
"Yes, sir!"
