In the past few days, it was rare to see Shen Qin being so helpless.
Shen Qin's face paled, "He … Did he see that? "
"What are you afraid of? Don't you like him? Isn't it nice that he knows you like her? "It's better than having a crush on him that hard."
Liu Ruo Qing blinked her eyes indifferently.
Shen Qin laughed bitterly and said: "He already knew this a long time ago, it's only a few times that she warned me not to think about it anymore. He only has my sister in her heart, I have a crush on him, I'm afraid it's sullying his feelings for his sister."
With regards to the relationship between Wang Xuan Ling and his wife, Liu Ruo Qing did not have the qualifications to be a snitch, nor could he just ignore Shen Qin's feelings just because he was still in love with his dead lover.
However, she felt some sympathy for Shen Qin; a one-sided love, it was the most pitiful.
It would be even better if she could meet someone who was completely devoted to her.
"Forget it, let's not talk about him. You might even meet a man that you like even more, haha."
Liu Ruo Qing patted Shen Qin's shoulders, and joked around, but was gouged out unhappily by Shen Qin, "Ugh."
As the two joked around, Shen Qin's train of thoughts drifted off into the distance.
Before Wang Xuan Ling, it wasn't that she hadn't liked men. She admired and admired that person, but could only look up to him. She felt that he was as noble as a god and could only watch from afar.
She had also tried to boldly look into his face that was as handsome as a god, but his eyes were clear, cold, and dull. There was not a single trace of emotion in his calm and clear eyes. They were thin and empty.
Gradually, she hid her confused thoughts in silence.
Later on, she got to know Wang Xuan Ling.
One time on her way back to the capital, she was bitten by a poisonous snake, and it was Wang Xuan Ling who saved her.
That man who was as soft as jade and who seemed sentimental, yet had a coldness that no one dared to approach made her think of the person that was hidden deep in her heart.
So much so that later on, when Shen Yuan brought him before her, she was stunned, but still kept that throbbing feeling at the bottom of her heart.
But now that she thought about it, maybe she felt more gratitude towards Wang Xuan Ling than admiration for him.
To be more precise, she only found a familiar cold shadow on Wang Xuan Ling's body, which was why she couldn't forget about him.
However, yesterday, he had returned to the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets …
Shen Qin shook her head vigorously, she did not think further.
In her heart, she scolded herself ruthlessly: Shen Qin, what are you thinking?
Liu Ruo Qing didn't notice her drifting train of thought. After washing her face and rinsing his mouth, she said, "Go out.
"Alright."
Shen Qin quietly withdrew the absent-mindedness at the bottom of her heart and followed Liu Ruo Qing out of the room.
"Speaking of Chengyang County, how come I haven't seen any County Magistrate Yu's orders since yesterday?"
Shen Qin casually asked while standing beside Liu Ruo Qing.
Liu Ruo Qing was startled, but when she heard Shen Qin's reminder, she noticed something, "That's right, where did Yu Liang go?"
Just as he was thinking, he saw the manager of the magistrate court bringing a man dressed like a high-ranking officer towards Yan Yuan's room.
"Meng Yan?"
This man was the captain that Wang Xuan Ling had asked Yu Liang to go to the City Guard Army Headquarters to escort them to the Guangshun Mansion.
How could a mere captain personally come to see Yan Yuan?
Liu Ruo Qing looked at Meng Yan in confusion as she walked into Yan Yuan's room.
"Your humble servant greets Your Highness."
"No need for formalities."
After Yan Yuan sent the manager of the yamen away, he asked: "How is it?"
"I followed the Lord Yu secretly according to his orders. Yesterday, after he left the mansion, I entered an inconspicuous courtyard on West Street. When I followed him in, the Lord Yu was nowhere to be seen."
Saying that, he knelt down and begged Yan Yuan for forgiveness, "This humble one is incompetent, please forgive me, your highness."
"Get up. It's already very good that you can follow me there."
If the People from the Divine Artefact Hall could be discovered so easily, they wouldn't need to fight with them for so many years.
Meng Yan had once served under the command of a deputy general and was responsible for tracking him down. His tracking skill was also famous under his command back in the day.
After that, because of a serious injury, he couldn't help but leave the battlefield. He didn't expect that this time he would actually be able to see him as a city guard in the Chengyang County.
So he told him in secret about him keeping a close eye on the pseudoyuangliang, but he never thought that he would really discover something.
"Don't tell anyone else about this matter for now. When This King returns to the capital, you can return with This King to the capital so that you can return to General Zhang's account."
Meng Yan's eyes suddenly lit up. He was so excited that hot tears filled his eyes, "I thank the Prince for his guidance."
"Go down."
"This little one will take his leave."
After Meng Yan left, Yan Yuan walked out of the room.
When they were about to head to the front hall, Shen Qin happened to be coming over with his medicine.
"Your Highness."
She curtsied slightly, "This is your medicine for today."
"Yes."
Yan Yuan took a sip, and after passing the bowl back to Shen Qin, he thought for a bit, and asked: "Where's Princess Wangfei?"
Shen Qin's face showed slight displeasure, and said: "Princess isn't in a good mood, she's gone to play."
Her tone was solemn and somewhat unhappy.
This point was something that Yan Yuan could understand.
Shen Qin had a good relationship with Qing Er, so she was most likely holding injustice for Qing Er's sake.
Looks like being able to see Divine Martial Yun Ai carrying him last night truly made him unhappy.
Yan Yuan frowned in distress as a trace of worry flashed past his eyes.
Even if Qing Er could understand that he was trying to get close to Yun Ai, she didn't have a reason to forgive the two of them hugging each other.
"King Jing's older brother."
When Yun Ai saw Yan Yuan, she was overjoyed. How could it be worse than being scolded by Yan Yuan last night.
Hearing Divine Martial Yun Ai's voice, an ice-cold expression flashed across Shen Qin's gentle eyes. However, she was only a maidservant in front of Yan Yuan, so she couldn't lose her temper, so she forcefully suppressed it.
"Shen Qin will be leaving now."
Then he turned and left.
"Good morning, King Jing's older brother."
"Yes."
coldly replied. If it was said that when he was in the capital, she thought that Yun Ai was just a young lady with a pure heart. At this moment, that small impression of him had disappeared into thin air.
The thoughts of Divine Martial Yun Ai couldn't be compared with that of ordinary girls.
It would be a good thing if he kept his thoughts in a good place. If he put them in a bad place, then this person would be too dangerous.
Facing Yan Yuan's cold attitude, the expression in Shen Wu Yun Ai's eyes dimmed. When he raised her eyes, her eyes were already covered by a layer of mist, as if he had suffered a great grievance.
"King Jing's older brother, are you still angry at Yun Ai?"
The impatience in Yan Yuan's eyes became a little stronger.
He did not see Shen Wu Yun Ai's hypocritical look again, he lightly flicked his sleeves and turned to walk out.
