"As long as I'm by your side, even if I don't live well, I'll still be happy."
She lowered her voice, as if she was embarrassed to let Yan Xiao hear her, but just in time to let Yan Xiao hear her voice. She secretly looked up only to see that his expression did not change, as if he had completely ignored her words just now, as if he did not hear her at all.
Qin Sang was a little discouraged, then asked: "Why are you looking for me?"
Yan Xiao then looked at her and said: "Have you ever seen your master's man meet with the crown prince of New Yi Country in private?"
"The crown prince of Xinyi?"
Qin Sang was surprised, they had already found out the connection between Long Di and their master?
However, didn't the New Yi Kingdom tell the imperial government that the Second Prince had done it?
Why would Xiao Lin contact the crown prince?
Qin Sang's thoughts raced, but she did not reveal it on the surface, "You know, I simply do not have the chance to meet Master at all. My superiors are the ones who have come to see me, so I am also not clear about this matter."
She calmly sized up Yan Xiao's face and probed: "I heard that the Yizhou's underground passage was dug out by someone ordered by the Second Prince. Why would you guys think of connecting it with the crown prince?"
Yan Xiao pretended not to know about the probing in Qin Sang's words, and said: "The people I sent out to investigate that the Second Prince is just a scapegoat, and the real culprit behind this is the crown prince."
Qin Sang was shocked once again. She knew that Yan Xiao was quite capable, but she didn't expect him to move so quickly. How long has it been since she found out who the real mastermind was?
"So that's how it is."
Qin Sang nodded in understanding, she was startled, and seeing Yan Xiao's bland face, she continued to probe: "Sorry, I wasn't able to help you with anything."
Yan Xiao looked at her, smiled at her and said: "It has nothing to do with you, you risked your life to inform me about the army, to me, it has already been a great help."
Qin Sang moved her lower lip, and for the past few days, Yan Xiao rarely revealed a smile to her, so such a rare smile made her a little absent-minded.
"Speaking of the army, do you have any leads?"
"Not yet, but right now, I can get some information from Long Di."
Yan Xiao's face carried a meaningful smile, and the confidence in his eyes, was as if he had already planned somewhat ahead of time, and was only waiting for the fish to take the bait.
Qin Sang was a little nervous in her heart, but her expression did not change as she said: "How about I go back and help you find some clues. Although I cannot get in touch with the higher ups, but I still have some understanding of their ways of doing things."
"No need, it's too dangerous over there. It's not easy to get your life back now, you can't go back."
Yan Xiao's words revealed faint worry, causing him to rejoice in his heart, but at the same time, he was conflicted.
Since Yan Xiao had discovered the situation regarding the crown prince of New Yi Kingdom, she had to let them know. However, seeing how worried Yan Xiao was for her, she couldn't say what he felt in her heart.
"Since you don't know anything about Long Di, then forget it, I'll go back first."
"Xiao-Xiao."
Seeing that Yan Xiao was about to turn around and leave, Qin Sang subconsciously called out to him. Seeing his gaze, she bit his lower lip, revealing a look of grief, "Can't you sit for a while longer?"
The way Yan Xiao looked at her was faint, without a single trace of affection. The things from the past had long been wiped clean, ever since she had deceived them and made them look like fools …
Besides, there was already someone in his heart that he wanted to spend his entire life with. That girl had accompanied him through the most difficult three years. She did not know what he meant in his heart, but he could not let himself regret it in the future.
Naturally, he no longer held any feelings for Qin Sang in his heart.
I still have some time with the Yizhou, rest well.
Then he turned and left without looking back.
In Qin Sang's eyes, there was both unwillingness and loneliness. In her eyes, he already had her in her heart. Otherwise, he wouldn't have let her stay in the Duke Palaces, and even more so, wouldn't have been worried that she would be in danger.
But he was cold to her now, probably because of the woman called Shen Qin.
When she thought about the difference Yan Xiao had with Shen Qin, she could feel that difference. After all, she had once enjoyed such gentleness.
However, Yan Xiao was different from the previous him. When he treated Shen Qin, it was like he was doting on a child, his eyes were soft, as if he wanted to spoil Shen Qin and raise him for the rest of her life.
It was different from when he had treated her in the past.
Qin Sang couldn't help but feel a little jealous of Shen Qin.
After Yan Xiao left, the unwillingness in her heart did not weaken in the slightest.
When Yan Xiao returned to the study room, he saw Luo Xiong hiding in the shadows, and appeared in front of him. Just now, at Qin Sang's place, Luo Xiong was hiding in the darkness, but he did not notice that there were other people around.
"Pavilion Master, why must you tell her such an important matter? Honestly speaking, this subordinate does not trust her very much."
Luo Xiong could not help but ask as he looked at the carefree man in front of him.
Yan Xiao pursed his lips, a faint light shining in his eyes, his meaning unclear, "If you don't tell her, why did she go back to deliver the message to her superior? If she doesn't even have that much use, then why would I keep her by my side?"
When Yan Xiao said these words, his expression was cold and detached, not even a hint of affection. He had always known that he was an unfeeling and cold-hearted person, thus, when he knew that Qin Sang had schemed against him, all his previous feelings for her were wiped clean, without leaving a single inch.
He thought, even if he loved someone, she wouldn't be able to restrain the other party's betrayal. If Qin Er had done the same thing as him, then his feelings would also be accepted very quickly.
He had never told anyone about this kind of thought, because it was unnecessary.
Hearing Yan Xiao's words, Luo Xiong's eyes lit up, "Pavilion Master wishes to …"
Halfway through his words, Yan Xiao raised his hand and interrupted him, "Just do as I say."
"Yes, your subordinate will set off now."
Luo Xiong did not stay in front of Yan Xiao for another second, and then quickly disappeared.
Night slowly dimmed down and a black figure quickly scuttled out from the Prince Rui's Palace, disappearing from the darkness at an extremely fast speed.
"Qin Sang?"
In the darkness, when a person saw the person who had leapt onto the Prince Rui's Palace's wall, she instantly recognized the person who had jumped onto the Prince Rui's Palace's wall.
This man was none other than Shen Qin who had been wandering around Prince Rui's Palace for a long time.
After returning to the capital, she knew that Qin Sang had settled into the Prince Rui's Palace, and knew that after the two of them had been together for a long time, they would return to the past. Recalling the faint grief in Yan Xiao's eyes, she knew that Yan Xiao was not at ease with him.
She was the cinnabar mole in his life that he could never erase.
