Lingli glanced at Zi'an and said, "The princess knows everything."
"I don't know. I don't know what's going on outside. I've been recovering from my illness for so many days. How can I know what happened?" Zi'an stretched himself. The wound didn't hurt anymore. He had been lying in bed for so many days that his bones were almost broken.
Lingli said, "I heard that the old lady of the Qin family went to see Prince Zhenguo and said that she would support him to become the emperor. Prince Zhenguo was bewitched and fell for it."
"The old lady of the Qin family?" Liu Liu tilted her head. "Is she Qin Zhou's grandmother?"
"No, it's Qin Zhou's great grandmother, the mother of the stubborn old General Qin."
"Sounds like he's quite an important figure!" Zi'an became interested. "Ling Li, tell me a story."
Lingli then put on the appearance of a storyteller. She was no longer wearing a veil, and her face looked exactly the same as before, not even the small wound could be seen.
"The old lady of the Qin family, speaking of it, has some connection with the Grand Empress Dowager of the Great Zhou Dynasty. I don't know what the connection is. Anyway, that day, when the old prince An Ran sent the medicine over, he went directly to the mansion to see the old lady. The two talked for a long time, and no one knew what they talked about. After that, the old lady sent Qin Zhou back and talked for a long time. After that, the old lady of the Qin family took the medicine to find the prince of the State of Zhenguo, saying that she wanted to cure him. The prince of the State of Zhenguo had an epidemic at the time and was about to die. The medicine of the old lady Qin saved him, and he was very grateful. He kept the old lady of the Qin family as a guest in the State of Zhenguo. What she said and did during the visit, no one else knew. Anyway, after the old lady Qin left, the prince of the State of Zhenguo raised an army the next day. I guess that the old lady should have promised to help him become emperor, so he would risk everything. After all, the capital is so chaotic now. If he wants to rebel, this is the best time."
"This prince of Zhenguo probably thinks that Qin Zhou is his backer, but Old Lady Qin cannot represent Qin Zhou." Zi'an smiled.
"I can't represent her, but everyone knows that Qin Zhou obeys this grandmother's orders."
"So," Zi'an gathered his hair, his eyebrows raised, "Prince Zhenguo misunderstood."
"That was intentional to make him misunderstand. How could anything be accomplished if he didn't misunderstand Qin Zhou?" Liu Liu thought Zi'an didn't understand, so she explained.
Lingli looked at Liuliu's earnest and honest face and sighed, "Liu, when will you grow up?"
Liu Liu was stunned for a moment. "I'm married, right? How can you, an unmarried girl, say that I haven't grown up?"
Zian burst out laughing.
The next day, Murong Jie brought Prince Chu Yue to Qicheng.
He knew about Zi'an's injury in advance, so after sending Prince Chu Yue to Qin Zhou, he went straight to Zi'an's room.
Qin Zhou stopped him and said, "You look angry."
"Hmm?" Murong Jie raised his eyebrows.
"It's not Xia Zian's fault. She was trying to save me." Qin Zhou explained.
"Hmm?" Murong Jie raised his eyebrows again.
"Don't scold her!" Qin Zhou felt that he seemed very weak under his strong masculine aura, so he said softly.
"Nonsense!" Murong Jie spat out two words from between his teeth and left like a whirlwind. There is no normal person in Beimo.
Qin Zhou looked at his back with a long gaze, somewhat dazed and somewhat melancholy.
After all, they are a legitimate couple, and as an outsider, what can I say or do
"Xia Zian!" Murong Jie yelled at the top of his voice before he even reached the yard.
Zi'an's eyebrows twitched, and he quickly said to Xiaosun, "Open the door quickly, before he kicks it in."
Xiaosun had already run over, but was still a step too late. The door was kicked open with a bang. Fortunately, Xiaosun hadn't run there yet, otherwise the force of the door hitting her would have made her dizzy for several years.
Seeing this, Zi'an walked over quickly, put his arm around his, and spoke a string of sweet words, "Your Highness is here? Did you have a hard time on the journey? Did you eat well and sleep well? I miss you so much."
After saying that, she was about to give him a big kiss on the face.
However, before his mouth got close, his head was stretched open by his Five Fingers Mountain. Zi'an smiled awkwardly and met his ink-black eyes. The trace of light dancing in his eyes was anger
Then, he roared in anger, one louder than the other, "How can you be so ambitious? You're helping others block arrows. When did you train yourself to be strong? How many lives do you have to lose? You're trying to save heroes, but do they need you to save them? Don't you even consider your own worth? With your body, you couldn't even bear it when I asked you to please me twice. How dare you help others block arrows?"
Xiaosun was walking back, but when he heard the scolding, he stopped and ran out quickly. He was so embarrassed!
Zi'an quickly covered his mouth and fawned like a puppy, "Alright, I know I was wrong, stop talking, what are you yelling about?"
Really, he is so angry that he has lost his mind. How can he say such things
"You know you're wrong, so you can't scold me?" Murong Jie pulled open her clothes with one hand, "Where is the wound? Let me take a look."
Zi'an untied it himself, revealing the wound. The wound had already scabbed over, which showed that the medicine prescribed by the old prince was very good.
Murong Jie was still furious, but when he saw the wound, he seemed frightened and was stunned and speechless. He fixed her clothes and sat down without saying anything.
"What's wrong?" Zi'an knew that he was unhappy, so he shook his arm.
He had been running all the way, his face was covered in dust, and his body was smelling of blood and sweat. He must have gone through several battles.
"Seventh Brother, I'm sorry." Seeing that he still didn't speak, Zi'an admitted his mistake sincerely.
Murong Jie frowned, the lines on his face became harder and colder, and even his eyes were covered with a layer of frost. "Xia Zian, do you know that if your wound is even a little bit off, it will kill you on the spot?"
Zi'an naturally knew that if he shot a little off target and hit her heart, she would have to go sell salted duck eggs.
"When you were protecting her from the arrow, did you ever think about what I would do if something happened to you? We made a promise to each other when we got married. If you died and I was left alone, I would never be happy with anything I did in the future."
His voice sounded somewhat dull and indescribably disappointed.
Zi'an's heart tightened. The situation was critical at the time and she had no time to think. Afterwards, she was indeed scared. She was afraid of death for sure, but she was also afraid that he would be sad.
"I'm sorry, I promise I won't do it again." Zi'an hugged him and said softly.
Murong Jie shook his head and said coldly, "The Emperor of Beimo has been sending people to hunt us down along the way. However, every time we were ambushed, I would think about what you would do if something happened to me. Therefore, I would always protect myself and never try to be brave."
Zi'an's eyes were moist, and his chest was filled with indescribable waves, surging like a tide. He had never said such nice words before.
Isn't the best way to cherish each other to protect yourself well
Zian felt deeply guilty.
