Zi'an stepped aside with the shuttlecock in his hand. He felt the blood boiling in his heart and he almost cried.
This feeling was just like the excitement she got when she listened to the national anthem. She didn't know why she had the same feeling, but she soon realized that it was a kind of pride, a kind of pride, and a kind of admiration that was engraved in her bones.
This man is hers, her husband, and he will accompany her for the rest of her life.
When she met him, he was arrogant and cold, and never even smiled at her. She still remembered the look in his eyes when he sat in the Queen's palace and stared at her coldly.
He was injured and she treated him. He began to trust her and accepted her control awkwardly, but he would drink secretly. When he was caught, he felt guilty and angry.
The days after marriage, all kinds of warmth flashed through her mind, like a movie, and every important moment was imprinted in her heart.
She remembered that after they got married, the ancestor told her not to count on him to protect her, and that she should learn to protect herself, and even help him fight against his enemies. In fact, the dangers and traps he encountered were far greater than hers.
He never blamed her for not doing well enough, but he reflected on himself for not doing enough.
He just didn't say "I love you" to her, and she started to feel uncomfortable and began to deny it.
Xia Zian, are you stupid
"Why are you crying?"
A rough finger scraped across her face gently, the movement was gentle.
She raised her head and was surprised to find that he had stopped. His dark eyes were looking at her quietly, and his resolute and handsome face was full of worry.
Zi'an smiled, his eyes sparkling, "I'm not crying, I just feel so happy that I can marry you."
Murong Jie smiled, "Silly and foolish."
He dropped the branch and took her hand, "Let's go."
Zi'an looked at him infatuatedly, "Seventh Brother, you are so handsome."
"handsome?"
"Just good-looking."
Murong Jie laughed, "What's the use of a man being good-looking?"
"Eye-catching!" Zi'an said with a smile. Suddenly, she remembered what happened today and asked hurriedly, "As for Rouyao, I forgot to inform her to leave the city. I don't know if Ajing went to find her."
"Don't worry," Murong Jie said with a smile, "I have sent someone to notify Rouyao to go out of the city gate to pick someone up. I guess A Jing has already gone."
"I really want to see it." Zi'an felt that Ajing really liked Rouyao. Now it all depended on whether Rouyao could let go of Su Qing and embark on the journey of love again.
"You want to see? No, the imperial physician will come out later and you will be out again. Your health is important. If you want to know the result, I will accompany you to Xiyuan later."
"Okay!" Zi'an also wanted to know what was wrong with him.
Rouyao received a notice from Murong Jie, saying that she was going out to the city gate to pick up someone. This person came from Beimo and was an old acquaintance, but he did not say who he was.
Rouyao scratched her head but couldn't figure out who this person was.
She was asked to pick him up in person, so the man must be an important person. Could he be Prince Qi
No, if Prince Qi comes, the ministers will definitely go out to greet him.
She thought it should be Gao Fengtian.
Qin Zhou also cooperated very well. Under A Jing's intense pressure, Qin Zhou finally revealed that Rouyao was rejected by Su Qing and was so sad that she was leaving the capital today and going far away alone.
After hearing this, A Jing found an excuse and ran away with the black horse.
A Jing first went to the Sun Mansion, but the servants in the mansion told her that the county lord had gone out of the city.
A Jing was shocked and chased after her in a hurry. He almost ran out of breath on his black horse because he was afraid that he would not be able to catch up with Rouyao.
When he arrived at the city gate, he did not pull the reins to slow down, but raised the Xiyuan token in his hand, rushed out of the city gate, whipped the horse to speed up, and ran out, leaving a cloud of dust behind him.
Rouyao was also waiting at the city gate with her maid. She saw a man riding a black horse and ran out. She looked closely and found it was Ajing. She wanted to call him, but Ajing had already run away.
"Did something happen?" When Rouyao saw Ajing riding away for his life, she couldn't help but think that after spending some time with Ajing, she knew that he was always a calm person, but this was the first time she saw him so anxious.
But, if something happened, why would he leave the city? He should go to the prince.
Thinking of this, she told the maid, "Go to Xiyuan and ask what happened."
The girl didn't know Ajing, and didn't know why the county lord said something happened in Xiyuan, but since the county lord had given the order, she could only do as she was told.
Rouyao asked the carriage to take her maid away, and she went up to the city wall alone to see if the person she was going to pick up had arrived.
However, when he looked far away, he didn't see anyone he knew, and no one came from the Northern Desert.
That guy Ajing ran out of the city and ran for his life.
All the way he just looked ahead to see if there were any women on horseback or carriages, but after running for almost half an hour, he did not see a carriage or a woman on horseback.
He felt that Rouyao had gone very far and he had to catch up with her as fast as possible.
As for Rouyao, she waited for a long time but no one from Beimo showed up. Instead, the maid came back and said that nothing happened in Xiyuan.
"Have you seen the prince?" Rouyao asked after hearing the maid's report.
The maid replied, "I didn't see him. I just went into the West Garden and asked the guards, and they said everything in the West Garden was normal."
Rouyao was very surprised. Ajing would not leave the city for no reason and run as if his butt was on fire.
She thought for a moment and said, "Let's go back to the Regent's Palace first and ask the prince to send someone to pick me up, and then go to the West Garden."
She felt that something must have happened.
Zi'an had just sent the imperial physician away when he heard Rouyao coming.
The imperial physician said that Zi'an was fine, he was just a little weak and his blood circulation was not flowing smoothly, and he would be fine after some conditioning.
Therefore, Murong Jie was in a good mood. When he heard that Rouyao had arrived, he jokingly said, "Are you here to question me?"
Zi'an said, "Alright, it's a good opportunity to hear what she thinks."
"Xiao Sun, please invite the county lady in." Zi'an ordered.
Xiaosun bowed and said, "Yes!"
After a while, Xiaosun came in with Rouyao in a hurry.
Rouyao walked in and saw Murong Jie was there too, so she said, "That's great, cousin. Who are you going to pick up? Go find someone to pick them up yourself. I have something else to do."
Murong Jie and Zi'an looked at each other in surprise.
"You didn't go to the city gate?" Murong Jie asked.
"I went there and waited for almost two hours, but didn't see anyone. Who was it? Gao Fengtian?" Rouyao sat down and saw tea on the table. She drank several large cups in a row. She was really thirsty. It was very hot over there at the city gate.
"Uh, it's Gao Fengtian. Didn't you see him?" Murong Jie didn't even blink.
"I haven't seen him. Did I remember the date wrong? Will he arrive tomorrow?" When Rouyao heard that it was indeed Gao Fengtian, she let it go. After all, he had helped them a lot in Beimo. Waiting for two hours was not too much.
Zi'an couldn't help but ask curiously, "You waited at the city gate for two hours. Nothing... special happened?"
