Qi Yanyu became angry with embarrassment, his face flushed, and he stared at Shen Ning.
Shen Ning suddenly stopped smiling and said seriously: "I haven't forgotten. I remember every word I said. Okay, let's leave tomorrow and go to Beiqi."
At this moment, Qi Yanyu seemed to hear all the larks in the world chirping together.
His eyes widened in surprise: "Really?"
"Of course it's true." Shen Ning nodded.
"Okay, then I'll go back and prepare immediately."
Qi Yanyu seemed to be afraid that she would regret it, so she turned around and left.
"Wait a minute, I still need to take Ling'er and Chu Yao with me." Shen Ning said again.
"Of course!" Qi Yanyu said without hesitation. He was still afraid that she would not take these two little guys with him.
"And Xiao Ru."
"Take everything with you. What else do you want to bring, people and things? Make a list for me and I will take them all away for you!"
Shen Ning smiled.
She stroked Xiaoru's hair and said, "They are my most precious. With them, I don't want anything else."
Why does this sound so sad
Xiaoru felt her eyes heat up and almost cried.

Before dawn the next day, a carriage quietly left the capital.
Shen Ning didn't say goodbye to anyone, not the eldest princess, Chu Shaobai, or Mo Chuan.
But the moment she left the capital, she put her hand on her chest and felt her heart beating abnormally.
She knew that Mo Chuan must have known.
Scenes flashed before her eyes in a trance. They used to rub their ears and temples together, and they used to have lingering affection. He tied her hair with his, held it in the palm of his hand, and told her, "It's not a happy marriage to be married."
The words are still in my ears, as if they were yesterday, but now my heart is as gray as ashes, and they will never come back.
Her heart seemed to be torn apart by an invisible hand, and the pain was so painful that she could hardly breathe.
But she still kept a faint smile on her face, opened the curtain of the car window, and watched the tall and towering wall getting farther and farther away from her sight, until finally she could no longer see it.
Farewell, Beijing.
Farewell, Xichu.
Farewell, Mo Chuan.

The carriage drove all the way north, towards the capital of Northern Qi.
As long as Qi Yanyu is here, the journey will never be lonely, not to mention the two active little guys Shen Ling'er and Chu Yao.
A month and a half later, they arrived at the capital of Northern Qi.
According to Qi Yanyu's intention, he wanted to take her directly into the palace to meet the emperor of Northern Qi.
But Shen Ning refused.
She told Qi Yanyu that she agreed to come to Northern Qi, but she did not agree to marry him.
Qi Yanyu's beautiful eyes flashed with confusion, obviously not understanding what she meant.
He took it for granted that since she agreed to come to Beiqi, she certainly meant to marry him.
This made Shen Ning dumbfounded.
Faced with Qi Yanyu's nonsense, she could only turn cold and angry, and Qi Yanyu walked away in anger.
The four of them and a carriage were left alone in the street.
Hearing the people around him speaking words they didn't understand, and the strangely dressed Northern Qi people looking at them with strange eyes, Xiao Ru was scared and worried, clutching Shen Ning's sleeves tightly.
"Miss, Mr. Qi ran away because of you. What should we do? We can't understand what these people are saying. We are unfamiliar with this place and don't even have a place to stay. Oh, if I had known this, we would have Shouldn't be here!"
Xiao Ru regretted so much that she really shouldn't have listened to Qi Yanyu's extravagant boasts about how great Northern Qi was.
But now it seems that it is not good at all! It was far worse than the Xichu she had known and lived in for more than ten years. This was a completely strange and cold city, and she didn't want to stay here for a moment.
