After listening to Shen Chengzhou's words, Ling Qingwan finally understood.
It turns out that these cowards in the court would step on Wei Xun when there was nothing to do, and would hide behind Wei Xun when something happened.
It really shows the fickleness of human nature, which makes people sigh.
"If he doesn't consider the interests of the country, I really hope he won't come back and just stay in Mobei, leaving those people in the court who are always meddlesome to worry about it." Ling Qingwan said angrily.
But there is no way. After all, it concerns the fate of Dai Viet. It is impossible for everyone to be cowards.
Ling Qingwan was just a little sad.
The people closest to her, her grandfather, brother, and beloved ones, all had to go to the battlefield to fight the enemy. If everything was fine, it would be fine. If something went wrong...
Ling Qingwan didn't dare to think about it anymore.
"Silly girl, are you overthinking again?"
Although Shen Chengzhou was a reckless man, he was still considerate to the people around him. Ling Qingwan was in a bad mood, and Shen Chengzhou could tell at a glance.
"No." Ling Qingwan forced a smile.
Shen Chengzhou naturally knew that Ling Qingwan was being stubborn, but she didn't want to mention it, so Shen Chengzhou turned a blind eye and pretended not to know.
How could he not understand his granddaughter? If Ling Qingwan had something to say, she would tell him without waiting for him to ask.
"Is everything for the carriage ready?" Ling Qingwan asked with concern.
"It's ready, don't worry. Song Tian will take care of all these things." Shen Chengzhou smiled as if nothing had happened.
Just as Shen Chengzhou faced Ling Qingwan, Ling Qingwan also knew that the Northern Zhou had invaded and that some people had sneaked into Dai Viet and attempted to assassinate him and those around him. Shen Chengzhou felt heavier than anyone else.
For him, he not only has to protect his family, but also the people of the entire country. Shen Chengzhou has a heavy responsibility.
What Ling Qingwan can do now is not to let Shen Chengzhou worry.
The next day, Shen Chengzhou set out for the capital early in the morning.
Before leaving, he left Ling Xiao here.
According to Shen Chengzhou's original words, although Ling Xiao is a very stupid kid, he is big and strong, so he can still be of use at critical moments.
A carriage stopped at the door of the inn, and a pretty girl came out.
Song Tian received the news and had been waiting at the door for a long time.
"Princess."
Seeing An Yi arriving, Song Tian greeted her respectfully.
"Which room is Wanwan in?" An Yi asked Song Tian straight to the point.
The reason why she came here in such a hurry was because she was thinking about Ling Qingwan. The closer she was to Ling Qingwan, the more excited An Yi became.
When going up the stairs, An Yi's mind was full of how Ling Qingwan risked her life to drive away the Northern Zhou people so that she could return to the villa safely.
Although the Northern Zhou people had their eyes on Ling Qingwan from the beginning, Ling Qingwan had Mingyue by her side. With Mingyue's abilities, even if she could not defeat so many people on the opposite side, she was more than capable of protecting Ling Qingwan and taking her away.
But Ling Qingwan did not choose to do so.
She even left Mingyue, the only one present who knew martial arts, to her.
An Yi had always known that Ling Qingwan was very kind to her, and that they were each other's best friends. But she never expected that Ling Qingwan would be so kind to her that she would be willing to sacrifice her own life.
These days, An Yi has been thinking about Ling Qingwan. If Ling Qingwan died at the hands of those Northern Zhou people, An Yi really didn't know what to do.
"Miss." Song Tian came in first. "Look who's here."
Then, An Yi rushed out from behind Song Tian.
"An Yi!" Ling Qingwan was shocked.
Ling Xiao came a few days ago, and now An Yi is here again. Ling Qingwan was indescribably surprised.
With her loved ones by her side, Ling Qingwan felt much better in this small town.
"Wanwan, I miss you so much."
As soon as An Yi came in, she threw herself into Ling Qingwan's arms.
Song Tian knew that the princess was close to his own Miss Sun, so he didn't say much. He stepped out and closed the door carefully.
"I miss you, too." Ling Qingwan patted An Yi on the back.
An Yi lingered in Ling Qingwan's arms like a kitten for a long time before reluctantly breaking free.
"What's wrong with you? Why are you crying when you see me?" Ling Qingwan saw An Yi's red eyes.
"Wanwan, I fell asleep that day and didn't know anything. If you hadn't saved me, I would have died at the hands of those Northern Zhou people. And I don't know martial arts." An Yi choked.
It turned out that he was thinking about this matter. Ling Qingwan felt a warm feeling in her heart.
She knew that if An Yi knew what happened that day, she would definitely feel guilty towards her.
"Those Northern Zhou people were originally here to arrest me. It has nothing to do with you. Don't take the blame on yourself." Ling Qingwan patiently comforted him. "Besides, since I'm willing to go with those people, it proves that I have a way to get out. Look, I'm fine now."
"Did those people bully you? Were they mean to you?" An Yi asked anxiously.
"Yes, yes." Ling Qingwan nodded.
If she said no, it would be a bit fake.
An Yi's face fell, as if he was going to settle accounts with those Northern Zhou people.
"But my grandfather has already dealt with these people." Ling Qingwan told An Yi.
An Yi felt better now.
"Oh, my brother is here too. How about I call him in so you can talk for a while?"
Ling Qingwan was afraid that if she continued to discuss this topic with An Yi, An Yi would become even more unhappy and feel more guilty, so she decided to change the topic and use Ling Xiao to divert An Yi's attention.
"I won't talk to him." An Yi pouted and complained.
She still remembered the last quarrel she had with Ling Xiao in the General's Mansion. What made An Yi most angry was that Ling Xiao actually had the nerve to be so mean to Ling Qingwan.
Others may not know, but those who are close to Ling Qingwan know best how much Ling Qingwan has paid and endured for him since Ling Xiao lost his memory.
As a result, Ling Xiao not only did not appreciate it, but he also got angry with Ling Qingwan at every turn.
"Who wants to talk to you?"
Ling Xiao pushed the door open and walked in.
Coincidentally, Ling Xiao happened to hear what An Yi said just now.
When he came in, he was holding a bowl of medicine in his hand.
"Commander Song asked me to bring this to you. He is too busy to bring it to you." Ling Xiao handed the bowl to Ling Qingwan.
Song Tian was not busy at all, he just wanted Ling Xiao to pay more attention to Ling Qingwan.
An Yi happened to be there, and the three of them were of similar age, so they kept Ling Qingwan company and relieved her boredom. Ling Qingwan no longer felt bored staying in the room like before.
"If nothing else, I'll leave."
Ling Xiao watched Ling Qingwan finish the medicine before he left.
"Where are you going?" An Yi stopped Ling Xiao.
"Why should I tell you where I'm going?" Ling Xiao raised his head slightly, looking quite arrogant.
An Yi was originally much shorter than Ling Xiao, and when Ling Xiao raised his head, she had to stand on tiptoe to see Ling Xiao's expression clearly.
"Wanwan is weak now and can only lie in bed. As the eldest brother, it is your job to take care of her. Why are you so impatient?" An Yi questioned Ling Xiao angrily and righteously.
