Before getting Ah Qi's exact answer, Shu Nuan always held hope in her heart. She thought about countless possibilities. Maybe Sheng Qianmo was seriously injured. Maybe Sheng Qianmo was somewhere. The place is unconscious, waiting for her redemption.
So she didn't care whether she could bear it or not, she had to follow Ah Qi to find someone.
until…
Until they arrived in Seoul.
Ah Qi brought her, Xuan Jiu and the others to Seoul.
Shu Nuan got off the carriage and stopped under the horse, staring straight at the dead and deserted city in front of him, not daring to get close.
Ah Qi screamed in mid-air and wanted to fly forward, but Shu Nuan still stood there, motionless.
"Princess..." Xuan Jiu patted Shu Nuan's hand gently. Shu Nuan woke up from a dream, blinked her eyes, and turned to ask Xuan Jiu, "Will he be waiting for me in the city?"
Xuan Jiu looked at Shu Nuan's clear eyes full of expectation, but finally looked away, unable to bear to look at her.
He didn't know how to comfort Shu Nuan. Ah Qi gave her hope and brought her to this desperate place.
This place trapped King Sheng to death.
Shu Nuan said nothing and walked forward quietly.
After surviving a cold winter, the autumn wind blew bleakly, but it seemed to be trying to disrupt the thoughts in her heart.
This time, Xuan Jiu didn't stop her.
He followed her silently.
Shu Nuan entered the city. No one could be seen in the city. It was completely silent except for the sad autumn wind blowing coldly.
Ah Qi took her to a City God's Temple.
Inside was a tombstone erected by an unknown commoner. There was also a half-burned armor robe on it. It was a robe she had seen before. The word "King Sheng" on the tombstone was clearly reflected in her eyes. It stung her eyes.
Shu Nuan squinted her eyes. After a while, she looked at the tombstone and said softly, "It turns out he is dead."
Shu Nuan suddenly lowered his head, lowered his eyes, looked at his round belly, and shed tears expressionlessly.
"Princess, King Sheng is a hero, and everyone alive will always remember him."
Shu Nuan shook her head. Suddenly her legs went weak and she almost fell. Xuan Jiu couldn't help but stepped forward to help her.
Shu Nuan bit her lip tightly and couldn't suppress her sobs, "Xuan Jiu, he is lying."
"I will never trust him again."
Shu Nuan clutched Xuan Jiu's arm tightly and burst into tears.
…
After returning from Seoul, Shu Nuan seemed to have changed a lot.
She didn't like to talk much anymore, and she didn't care much about the affairs in the business office and the escort agency. She often sat alone on the window sill of the yard and was in a daze. Sometimes she would stare at the corner of the window for a long time, wishing she could see a hole.
Xuan Jiu felt something was abnormal, so he went to ask the doctor. The doctor said it was prenatal depression and that he needed to relax and calm down, but Xuan Jiu could not do anything.
Seeing that the child in Shunuan's belly was about to be born in two months, Shunuan's mood never got better.
He sent a letter to Nanchao, hoping that Ache could return to Beichuan as soon as possible after the war.
On this day, Li Xiaoke ran to Heng Mansion to tell him that a princess from the North Country was looking for his boss. When Xuan Jiu heard this, he felt that it was not a good thing, so he asked Li Xiaoke to drive her away. At the moment, Shu Nuan was not happy at all, but We can no longer let those annoying people disturb Shu Nuan.
But what he didn't expect was that Shenggu found out the location of Heng Mansion through inquiring that day and barged in directly.
