"She brought the news?"
"That place is surrounded by experts. I'm not too close, but she was welcomed in. Although I'm not sure what she said, I can guess that they were in the same group."
In other words, when she had gotten close to the pavilion master with such heavy injuries, it had truly been a stratagem of hard work.
A trace of a smile appeared on Yan Xiao's indifferent face as he continued, "Continue to keep an eye on them, but don't get too close, don't let them find out."
"Yes, then your subordinate will take his leave first."
Yan Xiao waved his hand and let him leave, while he continued to stay in the study. Thinking of how Shen Qin was injured tonight, he started to frown worriedly.
The image of her back as she left kept intruding into his mind. He couldn't explain it, but he could feel a dull pain lingering in his chest.
Forget it, after taking care of the matters of the Yizhou as soon as possible, he would go to the Shen Mansion to propose marriage.
Suddenly, he thought of another matter and his brows knitted together. "Why did she appear outside the prince's mansion tonight?"
When Shen Qin returned to Shen Mansion, it was already late in the night, and she was extremely tired. Recalling that Yan Xiao had scolded her for making trouble tonight, and even said that she was making trouble for him, she felt suffocated, and her eyes started to ache.
"Little Sister Qin Er."
Just as she was walking towards her own courtyard, a gentle male voice sounded from behind her.
She turned around. That person was dressed in brocade clothes and was wearing a light blue brocade robe. A pure white jade pendant hung on his body, making him appear warm and clean.
Especially when he wore a smile, his entire body emitted a kind of warmth that made people unable to resist him wanting to get close to him. This kind of temperament that was as warm as jade, was different from the cold and indifferent temperament that was on Yan Xiao's body.
She smiled at him. "Brother Liangxiu."
Gu Lian Xiu, that's right, he was the person she would marry in the future, the eldest son of the wealthiest in the south, a famous philanthropist in the south.
She thought that although marrying such a person wouldn't be too exciting, at the very least, he would treat her very well and would not make her sad. Why not give it a try?
Gu Lian Xiu walked over and saw that her face was pale. He frowned slightly and said worriedly: "Why are you back so late. Also, why are you so ugly?"
Being asked like that, in Shen Qin's mind, she naturally thought of Yan Xiao's cold and unhappy face. Her heart sank, and her eyes revealed faint traces of bitterness.
She forced a smile at Gu Lian Xiu and said: "It's nothing, I can't sleep. I'll take advantage of the lack of people to go out for a stroll."
Gu Lian Xiu walked to her, lowered his eyebrows, looked at Shen Qin's face that was trying to force a smile, and asked: "Is it because of my suggestion today, if you're not willing …"
"That's not it."
Shen Qin immediately cut Gu Lian Xiu off, and said: "I'm tired of staying in the capital, and going to your house to get married is fine, since I only have father and family, as long as father is by my side, it doesn't matter where I go to get married."
She had promised Gu Lian Xiu before, but today, the Gu family suggested for them to go to the south to get married. It was because Gu Lian Xiu's grandparents were all there, and because they were old, it would be inconvenient for them to come to the capital.
Actually, there wasn't anything wrong with marrying her to Gu Lian Xiu. Naturally, she had to get married at the Gu Family.
However, since the Gu family only had Shen Chong as their daughter, they were afraid that they would feel that they had wronged him.
Just by looking at how the Gu family took her and her father's feelings into consideration, Shen Qin knew that the Gu family would not let her down.
Furthermore, they were a family of merchants, and even more so, they were well-matched. How could that Prince Rui, who held such a high position, be able to rise up so high?
A trace of unease flashed past Shen Qin's eyes.
It was also because she was going to the south with Gu Lian Xiu, and she still wanted to take a last look at tonight, that would happen afterwards.
However, Yan Xiao's attitude tonight had further strengthened her resolve. Thus, when she looked at Gu Lian Xiu, her smile was not as forced as it was before.
Hearing Shen Qin's words, Gu Lian Xiu, who was originally apprehensive, finally revealed a slight smile.
"As long as Big Brother Lianxiu doesn't mind that I'm old."
A lot of girls at the age of twenty had already become mothers.
Gu Lian Xiu was amused by her words, and the warmth between his brows became even more distinct.
Every time he stayed in Shen Mansion, he would never get too close with her. However, the heavens knew how much he liked her in his heart.
However, it was a good thing that he was finally able to marry her after she agreed to his request.
"I'm two years older than you, we... "Same here."
His smile was warm, but he could not hide the joy in his eyes, Shen Qin's sad mood was also infected by him, the depression in his heart had almost dissipated.
Try it, try it with him.
"Then Brother Liangshu, I'll head back to my room first. You should go to bed early as well."
"Fine."
Although he was disappointed, Gu Lian Xiu did not insist. After watching her leave, he returned to his own courtyard with a smile.
On the other side, Yan Yuan brought Liu Ruo Qing and headed north. They followed the route that Shen Gu Zi was most likely to take, and although the chances were not high, Liu Ruo Qing did not want to splash cold water on him because of this.
Traveling through the Myriad Miles Rivers and Mountains with him like this, even if she still couldn't make it through it in the end, she wouldn't have any regrets.
"The further north we go, the more different the scenery is. It's completely different from any scenery we've seen before."
This was a place close to the freshness, a region in the Turkic region. They heard that the medicine Shen Gu Zi found for Xia Tao Hua grew at these places, so they should not be wrong to continue following this line of thinking.
"If you go further north, you will reach the desert, and then you will reach the Turkic region. Didn't you say that you would look for Sang Ji and take a look at the scenery of this foreign land if you had the chance to?"
"Yes."
Liu Ruo Qing nodded her head, and said: "Speaking of Prince Sang Ji, he is already in a cold sweat, I wonder how he is doing right now."
At that time, Sang Ji gave them such a precious gift, but when he found out that the bracelet was able to command the army, he was not at ease, afraid that he would lose such an important thing.
"What do you care about him for? He's a Turkic khan now. Are you still worried that he's not doing well? "
shook his head and laughed at the undisguised smell of vinegar in his words.
How many years had she been married for? The vinegar taste had not decreased at all.
"I was thinking that if he didn't do well, we wouldn't be entertained in Turkic, and I was worried about myself."
She held Yan Yuan's arm and said coquettishly.
