Yan Yuan's originally thick eyebrows now had a hint of a smile on them. He proudly raised his eyebrows and said: "Of course, who asked me to be a good assistant."
"Yes, yes, yes, you are This King's best good wife."
Liu Ruo Qing humphed and glanced at Yan Yuan haughtily.
At this time, Yan Xiao, who had just come out from Qi Zhou City, had a cold expression. His usually cold face was currently filled with a murderous intent, and there was even a hint of undisguised self-blame.
If he hadn't let eighth brother leave first, if he had taken care of him a little bit, eighth brother might not have been set up by others.
They had already traveled for two days, and on the road, Yan Xiao had not rested at all. At the moment, his eyes were bloodshot, causing the killing intent that gathered in the depths of his eyes to become even more terrifying.
This time, other than Shen Qin, a few dark guards of the Prince Rui's Palace and a few hall masters of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets also followed along. When they saw Yan Xiao's appearance, they could not help but frown.
One of the hall masters walked over to Shen Qin's side quietly and tugged on her clothes. Shen Qin turned her head around and thought about the question in her eyes.
"I have received news from Pavilion Master Luo that the assassin who ambushed the eighth prince will most likely come back to ambush our Pavilion Master. The Pavilion Master has not rested for two days and two nights, and should those assassins come, it would be difficult to deal with them. Hurry up and persuade Pavilion Master Wan to let him rest for the night before leaving."
"Me?"
Shen Qin pointed at herself, thinking back to Yan Xiao's terrifying expression, she was still a little afraid, "Why would the pavilion master listen to me?"
"When you were injured, how did the pavilion master treat you? Do you still not know? If the Pavilion Master doesn't even listen to your words, then we won't listen to any more. "
Shen Qin didn't know if this big brother said those words intentionally or not. In short, she sounded a little strange.
Although he knew that the Pavilion Master might not listen to what he had to say, he recalled that Yan Xiao had not slept for the past two days.
"Hurry up."
Shen Qin turned around and walked back to Yan Xiao's side. She lowered her voice and gently called out, "Pavilion Master."
Even though Yan Xiao's mood was extremely heavy, but at the moment, Shen Qin's cautious and cautious voice still made him stop in his tracks.
Turning his head to face Shen Qin's gaze, he saw that the killing intent condensed in his eyes had still been withdrawn. The tight lines on his face had also softened a bit, "What's wrong?"
Shen Qin saw that Yan Xiao's expression was no longer as terrifying as before, and heaved a sigh of relief. She braced herself and said: "We have already travelled continuously for two days and two nights, it would be better to stay in the town for a night to recuperate before leaving. Pavilion Master, your cold is only just right, it's not appropriate to travel for too long. "
Yan Xiao originally wanted to refuse, but on Shen Qin's face, there was a trace of weariness. He thought about how in the past two days, everyone had followed him without a break, especially a girl like Shen Qin.
Thinking about this, the rejection that was on the tip of Yan Xiao's tongue, quietly withdrew, "Alright, then I will go find an inn to stay for the night."
At the moment, Shen Qin was not relieved, but instead stunned. She did not think that with just that one sentence, Yan Xiao would agree to it.
She blinked her eyes dumbfoundedly, looking at Yan Xiao's similarly tired face, she did not react for a long time.
At this time, Yan Xiao did not notice Shen Qin's reaction, he turned around and said to the few people beside him: "All of you go find an inn to stay for the night, leave tomorrow."
Everyone's eyes lit up as they immediately answered, "Yes."
Before leaving, the person who spoke to Shen Qin earlier looked at Shen Qin who had just regained her senses and secretly blinked her eyes, causing Shen Qin to be baffled.
However, she really didn't expect that the Pavilion Master would actually agree because of her words.
Although it had nothing to do with the reason she hid in her heart, she was still secretly happy when she thought about how she could make the pavilion master change his mind.
Suddenly, the few people around Yan Xiao seemed to have an extremely tacit understanding with each other and followed along. Only Yan Xiao and Shen Qin were left standing on the main street, walking slowly.
Yan Xiao turned to look at Shen Qin, who had been silent for a long time, only to see her cheeks turn unusually red, her brows suddenly frowned: "Why is her face so red, is she sick?"
In the past few days, the weather had been extremely cold and warm, and it was the most sickly time of the day. Even he could not bear it, much less a girl like Shen Qin.
Thinking like this, his palm had already covered Shen Qin's forehead. The warm feeling from his palm caused Shen Qin's blushing cheeks to become even redder.
She panicked and quickly took a step back. She was at a loss on what to do. She said, "No, it's nothing. It's just that the sun is a bit high right now and has been illuminated red."
She casually made up a reason for this. Seeing Yan Xiao raise his head and look at the overcast sky, she suddenly laughed softly, and his originally cold eyes, when looking at Shen Qin's anxious eyes, held a faint smile, and said: "The whereabouts of this sun is rather mysterious."
Shen Qin's face tensed up, she looked at the smile on Yan Xiao's lips, but did not look at him.
She had just randomly found a reason, how would she have noticed that there was no sun in the sky? Yan Xiao's words now, were clearly mocking her for finding such a crappy reason.
Shen Qin could no longer imagine how red she was at the moment, and she did not dare look at Yan Xiao's expression. It was obvious that he was laughing at her in her heart.
"This subordinate will go over and see if their rooms have been booked."
After he finished speaking, he did not wait for Yan Xiao's words, and quickly ran far away. Naturally, he did not see the trace of gentleness and doting that appeared in Yan Xiao's eyes when he looked at her.
That night, the group of people stayed at the inn.
Shen Qin laid on her bed and didn't sleep until midnight. Recalling the stupid excuse she had given during the day, Shen Qin was even more unable to fall asleep.
Getting down from the bed, she led the way to the courtyard and sat down. The temperature at night was still a little low, and when Shen Qin just came out, she couldn't help but shiver.
When she came out, she subconsciously glanced at the door beside her. She sighed in her heart and silently cursed herself for being disappointing.
He thought that he should have stopped thinking about what he shouldn't have and just stayed by the pavilion master's side to do the tasks he should have done. However, his reaction was still to drag out the feelings deep within his heart.
If the Pavilion Master was slightly nicer to her, then she would begin to let her imagination run wild. Just like now, with just one careless action from the Pavilion Master, she wouldn't be able to fall asleep.
