The banquet ended like this. Through what County Magistrate Qu said, Ning Yan had some understanding of the current situation in Qingshan County.
Except for those patients who were beyond recovery, most of the patients in Qingshan County gradually recovered their health.
Some businesses that were affected by the epidemic have also opened one after another, and everything is developing in a positive direction.
The three of them were talking about something, and as they walked they came to a garden. An Xin heard someone talking from afar.
An Xin felt that the voice was a bit like that of Qu Paner. She listened carefully and actually heard her own name.
"Oh, isn't it just that she's pretty? I'm not afraid of being inferior. How can such a spoiled and domineering woman like An An be able to become the Princess of Zhao?" Qu Paner folded the flowers in her hand and said angrily.
Then, An Xin heard Qu Paner say: "I am the most suitable..."
Before Qu Paner could finish her words, she was slapped hard in the face by County Magistrate Qu. Perhaps because the force was too great, Qu Paner was knocked to the ground by County Magistrate Qu.
Qu Paner's face swelled up at a speed visible to the naked eye. She covered her face with her hands and looked at County Magistrate Qu with red eyes.
County Magistrate Qu immediately ordered the servants around him: "Didn't I tell you to let the young lady stay in her room for a few days? Hurry and take her back to her room!"
Just as the maidservant beside Qu Pan'er helped her up, Ning Yan said coldly: "Why, after scolding my princess, you still want to run away?"
Seeing Ning Yan's rather cold tone and unfriendly expression, County Magistrate Qu was frightened and immediately knelt on the ground and said, "My daughter is possessed by a demon. Her mind is not clear and she spoke without thinking. I hope Your Majesty will let her go!"
"If he is possessed, there is no way to cure him, so just beat him to death." Ning Yan sneered, and every word he said was merciless.
An Xin was a little stunned. Ning Yan was too ruthless. She was a beautiful lady with a charming appearance. Although he scolded her twice, he shouldn't have beaten her to death directly!
Suddenly, An Xin felt that it was a miracle that she had survived Ning Yan's hands!
County Magistrate Qu was so frightened that he kowtowed and begged for mercy: "It was really an unintentional mistake, please forgive me, Your Majesty!"
When Qu Paner heard that Ning Yan was going to beat her to death, she was so scared that she knelt on the ground and trembled.
Isn't Prince Zhao always handsome and romantic? How could such a handsome man say such cruel words!
Ning Yan, who was originally the only one in Qu Paner's eyes, suddenly turned into a demon in human skin.
An Xin looked at it and although she was annoyed at Qu Pan'er's outrageous words, she felt that her crime did not deserve death, so she said to Ning Yan: "Let her go. I don't like these fighting and killings."
Ning Yan looked at An Xin deeply and nodded, tacitly approving of An Xin's behavior.
An Xin changed the subject, her eyes were calm, and she chuckled, "But the death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped. This princess is kind-hearted, so I will punish your daughter to marry at the age of 25!"
Killing someone is a crime that breaks their heart. Although An Xin spared Qu Pan'er, in an era when girls were supposed to get married at the age of 15 or 16, getting married at the age of 25 was considered an extremely old leftover woman.
Men here generally like to marry women younger than themselves. If Qu Pan'er gets married at the age of 25, she will basically not be able to marry into a good family.
County Magistrate Qu felt bitter, but he knew this was the best outcome. He kowtowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, and thank you, Princess."
Afterwards, County Magistrate Qu quickly asked his servants to send Qu Pan'er back to the house.
"Stand up!" Ning Yan said casually when he saw County Magistrate Qu was still kneeling.
After saying that, he looked at An Xin with interest. His wife was indeed not a good person. She had principles, but she would not tolerate any loss!
Afterwards, several people went to the site to investigate the specific situation.
In the evening, Anxin had dinner at Ningyan County Magistrate's Mansion before returning to Pei County.
Because the journey was too long, dusk fell unknowingly and the night enveloped the earth.
About two miles away from Pei County, Ning Yan suddenly stopped and looked up at the starry sky.
He asked the others to leave first, and he took another road with An Xin in mind.
"Where are you going? It's so late now." An Xin looked at Ning Yan's actions and asked in confusion.
"What a great place!" Ning Yan said mysteriously.
After a short while, the two came to a patch of unknown small white flowers.
Then Ning Yan looked at An Xin's hand and walked to a stone, saying: "My lady, look, aren't the stars here particularly bright? There are also some small flowers here. I discovered these by chance a few days ago. I thought you would like them."
An Xin looked at the environment here. There were flowers all over the mountains and the fragrance of flowers wafted in the air from time to time. Looking up, there was a starry sky with shining stars.
An Xin sat on the stone and replied: "It is indeed beautiful, as if the flowers around me are stars, blending into the stars in the sky. This is very good, I like it!"
Seeing An Xin's satisfied look, Ning Yan was also quite pleased, with a smile in his peach blossom eyes.
He also sat down and enjoyed the scenery with An Xin.
"As long as you like it." Ning Yan replied.
"By the way, what is your relationship with Naqu Paner? Why is she so infatuated with you?" An Xin asked curiously.
Seeing An Xin mention Qu Pan'er, Ning Yan's eyes flashed with disgust, and he said: "I am not too sure, this is only the second time I have met that woman today."
An Xin chuckled and joked: "That must be because you, my prince, are both talented and handsome, and you have attracted Qu Pan'er's heart! I'm afraid there are not many women in the world who can resist your charm, my prince."
"Did I attract my lady?" Ning Yan approached An Xin and said.
An Xin was so scared that she leaned back. Fortunately, Ning Yan grabbed her and prevented her from falling flat on her face due to unstable center of gravity.
An Xin quickly let go of Ning Yan's hand and said, "The prince will naturally not be attracted to me, because I am not a woman from this world."
Ning Yan looked at An Xin with a puzzled look.
An Xin chuckled, then shook her legs and said happily: "I am a fairy who came down to the human world to transcend the calamity!"
Ning Yan shook his head helplessly, looking at An Xin's girlish appearance, with some doting in his eyes.
But, somehow, Ning Yan always felt that this sentence was not as simple as she said literally.
Frustrated with having no trace to find, Ning Yan chuckled and felt that he seemed a little sensitive.
Then he looked at the woman beside him who was swaying from side to side and humming a pleasant song, and a long-lost sense of peace and tranquility flashed through his heart.
The breeze blows on your face and everything is quiet!
