C59

Since King Duan was leaving tomorrow, Shen Qi returned to the Cang Lan Yuan and started to pack his luggage. The south of the river was wet and rainy, and there were no heating facilities like the Earth Dragon Fire Cave in the winter.

At that time, I remembered that the clothes that were dried in Hangzhou were wet after I took them to Beijing, so I had to take them out and dry them again.

However, the air was moist and his face was always moist, unlike when he was in Beijing in the winter when he was heated and covered by a blanket at night, the next day he was always capable of bleeding from his nose, especially when he had been living in the South. At the beginning, he was not used to it for a period of time, it was too dry!

However, as long as the people who had spent a winter in the north returned to the south, they would not be able to endure the cold and wetness of the south, even if they were people who had always lived in the south.

The clothes that Shen Qi had prepared for King Duan were all neatly arranged one by one, in order to prevent humidity. Furthermore, she recited what she needed to bring one by one to check, while she was still scribbling and drawing, she quickly added whatever she had missed. What pills, wound medicine, and the powder of the insect repellent had all been wrapped up and labeled well, with names and amounts of each.

As soon as King Xian entered, he saw his young consort wholeheartedly preparing a luggage for him. She was even muttering some words as she walked in. She had clearly marked out the names and locations of everything. It was clear at a glance that Little Kite was quite pretty.

He raised his head and saw that her face was solemn and serious. She had put away her usual indifference and indifference. Suddenly, he felt his heart loosen a little. Wasn't this what a normal wife looked like when she sent her husband out?

He carefully prepared his luggage for him, afraid that he would not know how to take care of himself. He repeated the words over and over, but he was always worried. He always envied this life, not only in the palace but also in front of his own bedfellows.

He did not like that kind of life or even disliked it. Back then, the Queen Mother did something extraordinary to curry favor with the Royal Father, and she even fought with the Consort De to win his pitiful friendship. Was it worth it? Is there any meaning? I've never thought about it, because the emperor's attention to you represents an increase in your status in the palace.

royal father had so many women in his life, how many of them truly loved him? Who could tell how much of his true love for the Consort De he had always thought was real and how much it was fake? If he truly loved the Consort De that way, why would he still have to choose new disciples every year?

It wasn't that he hadn't thought of getting a family. He had felt disgusted by Princess An Qing's past, but there had been plenty of opportunities later on. However, he had refused them all.

When she thought of this, the King's eyes darkened. No matter what, she would be his future consort and would never be able to change it, nor would she ever think of changing it!

Princess Hua-Yang had tied her hair into a bun, with a white jade hairpin, and was dressed in a house uniform. She wore a long blue skirt, and her simple dress made people feel comfortable. She was neither obese nor cold.

Her face was only covered in a layer of moisturizing cream. There was nothing else to wear, but her complexion was still healthy and rosy. No matter how good her rouge was, it couldn't be compared. Her young and tender face, combined with her serious expression, gave her a more adorable look.

King Xian unconsciously softened his expression. "There's no need for you to be so busy. Just leave it to the people below."

Hearing the voice, Shen Qi raised her head to look and saw King Xian's gentle expression with a smile on his lips. She was raising her eyebrows, the Duke was in a good mood! However, he still shook his head with a smile, "They won't tire me out, so I can't rest easy leaving it to them."

Prince Xian's heart skipped a beat. If she said she was worried, was she worrying about him as well? So he was using packing his luggage to divert his attention?

As if his heart had been moved by his thoughts, King Duanren blurted out, "I'll definitely come back to join your celebration before you turn 15."

Shen Qi was startled, she did not think that he would give her such a promise. Her heart was sweet, and her smile became even more joyous, as she nodded with all her might, "En, I will wait for Your Highness." Although there wouldn't be any more wedding ceremony after the marriage, but Duke Xian's words made Shen Qi happy.

"However, your highness still prioritizes important matters and takes care of your body. Since I've already married into a woman, I won't go through with my wedding ceremony. I only treat it as an ordinary birthday present." So you don't need to rush back, Shen Qi did not say these words, but everyone understood it, and was afraid that he would ruin the original plan in order to rush back.

Although Shen Qi didn't know what exactly he planned to do when she went to Jiangnan at this time, she knew in her heart that there would definitely be danger.

This was the first time that they were both stunned by such an intimate action. Although Duke Xian had stroked her hair before this, he was more like an adult expressing his affection towards a junior, but this was the first time that the two of them were moved at the same time. Something had already changed between them, and they were waiting for the quality to change at any time after the amount of energy accumulated to a certain extent!

It was not even five o'clock, and the sky was still dark outside. Shen Qi opened his eyes in a daze and was still feeling a little dizzy. She rubbed his eyes, and slowly woke up.

Just as Duke Xian was putting on his clothes, he heard the commotion behind him and turned around. Seeing Shen Qi's confused expression, she said softly, "It's still early, you don't need to get up to send this duke off." Although he went out a lot, he didn't really like the scene of him leaving either.

Shen Qi did not like it either. The two of them had made some progress with great difficulty and the Duke was about to go out again, so it was unknown when he would return and what kind of situation he would have when he did.

She wasn't that optimistic, nor did she have that much confidence in King Duanren. Even she didn't have that much confidence in herself, let alone the others.

Shen Qi laughed at herself just thinking about it. Why would she even think about fantasizing about it?

If his mother had made things difficult for her, he would have made her stay away a bit, but after thinking about it again, since he wasn't in the capital, his mother probably wouldn't have come looking for trouble with her, so there was no need for him to tell her what to do.

But now, Shen Qi could not sleep anymore. How much effort did she have to put in to get out of here?

didn't have any appetite at all, but in order to accompany King Duanren, he ate a small bowl of congee with pickled vegetables. After the meal, he did not waste any time, as they had to hurry on their journey and race against time.

"I have already made a list of the things that I need to use, as well as some emergency medicine, and have marked out their usage and dosage. At that time, you will need to take care of your highness."

Yan Yi's face was solemn, he cupped his fists and bowed, "This subordinate will remember, rest assured, wangfei."

Shen Qi nodded and gave him a bag of beef jerky, which could be eaten along the way. The jerky could be stored for a long time, but could be eaten slowly.

"I've already divided the meat, you guys take one bag, Prince take one bag, even if it's urgent, you can still rest your stomachs."

Yan Yi felt that the piece of dried meat was not light. It would probably take a lot of time and effort to do all this, since the wangfei still cared about the prince and had not forgotten about this even for her subordinates.

Yan Yi raised his head to look at the young little wangfei before him, and finally thanked her in a solemn voice. "This subordinate thanks the other imperial bodyguards!" It wasn't every time they traveled that they would be able to find a restaurant or an inn. At that time, they would only be able to nibble on dry cakes. With these jerky, they could really help a lot.

Shen Qi waved her hand, "It has been hard for you all to protect the Duke. I can't do anything else, that's all I can do.

After Duke Xian finished instructing the Zhonbo, he immediately heard Shen Qi's words. He looked up and saw that Yan Yi was holding onto a lot of things, and immediately knew that her wangfei had prepared something for them.

Time waited for no one, and it really wasn't possible to delay any further. Thus, Duke Xian suppressed the faint reluctance in his heart, and said softly to Shen Qi, "This king should set off now."

The guards and secret guards had already been prepared, only waiting for a word from the Duke. Thus, Shen Qi did not delay any further, "Take care, your highness. I hope that you will take care of yourself, the imperial government needs you, and your King's Mansion needs you even more." King's Mansion would not exist without King Duan.

Duke Xian looked deeply at Shen Qi, and said solemnly, "This duke knows." Then he said to the guard, "Let's go!" The group of people were in an orderly fashion, exuding an unstoppable spirit as they escorted King Quan and his horse and left.

Shen Qi and the rest of the people from the Duke Palace watched as King Duanren left from the entrance, and only after he was out of sight did they return to the Inner Court. Although the Duke was busy working outside most of the time when he was in the capital, and had only spent a limited amount of time there, as long as they knew he was in the capital, they would not feel anything.

It was the same for the servants of the mansion. The prince was the support of the mansion, and with him here, even if he didn't do anything, everyone would still be at ease. Once he left, everyone felt at a loss.

When Shen Qi saw this scene, she knew that she did not have time to think about it.
