It seemed that she alone couldn't dispel Murong Yanran's thoughts, so Su Qing simply stopped paying attention to her.

After a while, Su Heng took someone to the inn to send Murong Yanran back, and she made a fuss for a while, but seeing that Su Qing was not moved at all, Su Heng was even more iron-faced and selfless, so she could only go back by herself.

When Su Heng came back, Su Qing took her to the terrace outside to drink, she wanted to borrow wine to drown her sorrows, but she didn't expect her to be even more sorrowful.

"Presumably, the prince will not return to the capital often in the future, and this princess's stay in the War King's Mansion is just an ornament, don't take it too seriously. ”

Su Heng thought that Su Qing was troubled because Murong Yanran was nominally Xiao Jingchen's side princess.

But what Su Qing is worried about now is that if she really wants to meet Nan Dinghou, she is afraid that she will have to prepare for the worst, and even Xiao Jingchen doesn't know about this matter.

"Princess?" Su Qing frowned slightly, came back to her senses and smiled: "She can't control her own life, if she wasn't a princess, maybe she would be better off than now." ”

"Qing'er, isn't it as good as you imagined after returning to the capital?" Su Heng also sighed and took a sip of wine.

There was still a chill in the night air, and the smell of wine permeated the surroundings, wouldn't it be nice to make a fire and grill some meat skewers now?

"It's not that good, but it's not that bad either, after all, there are big brothers and grandmothers here who love me, and ...... I met the prince. ”

For Su Qing in modern society, these things are just pastimes that can only be swept away by watching TV or from time to time, but now that it has fallen on her, she realizes how difficult it is for the protagonist to take a step forward.

"Actually, the eldest brother prefers that you stay in an ordinary place and live an ordinary life, maybe you don't have fine clothes and food, but at least you are safe and worry-free. ”

Su Heng looked at the sky in the distance, although he had stayed in the Su family since he was a child, he had experienced no less than Su Qing.

It's just that when he reached the age of twelve, he was sent to the barracks by his father, although the barracks were bitter and tiring, but it was much simpler than in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

At first, some people in the barracks joked about his identity, saying that he was a child of a rich family who came to the barracks to experience life, and he couldn't endure hardship at all, and he would definitely cry and go back in a few days.

But Su Heng gritted his teeth and stayed in the military camp for more than ten years, and he has been training hard every day for more than ten years, never relaxing, and has learned not to care about other people's eyes.

"But some people are born with something unusual. Su Qing took a deep breath and turned his head: "Big brother, I want to go home tomorrow." ”

"Okay, I'll go back tomorrow, and you'll be with me then. Su Heng nodded, but Su Qing interrupted him before he finished speaking.

"No, I don't want to pretend anymore, I want to step into the gate of the Su family openly. ”

At this time, under the same night sky, Xiao Jingchen also stayed up all night, he lived in an inn in Guangling City and waited for news.

Nan Dinghou had indeed rushed into Beijing before him, and now that the capital was heavily guarded, he couldn't show his face easily.

Xiao Jue hurried back from outside with a body of cold air, and he patted his clothes at the door before walking in.

"Lord, there have been no special circumstances in the capital in the past two days, and everything is normal on the princess's side, but there is news from the palace that the emperor's health is much better. ”

At this time, even if the emperor's health can't be good, he must be good.

"What about the eldest princess, but what is the news?" Now that the news in the capital is no longer easy to investigate, Xiao Jingchen frowned.

Xiao Jue also showed a look of embarrassment on his face: "Today, Nan Dinghou did go to visit the princess's mansion, but the mansion was heavily guarded, and I couldn't find any news." ”

This matter fell into Xiao Jingchen's expectations, he picked up the teacup on the side, the tea in it had already been cold, and he paused and put it down.

"Don't worry about the affairs in the capital for the time being, send people to the south and go to southern Xinjiang. ”

Although it is only one city away from the capital, Xiao Jingchen understands that once something happens, there is no way to stop it immediately.

At the moment, he could only find more restraints, he asked Xiao Jue to go down and arrange, and turned around and walked to the balcony outside, the moonlight tonight was very good.

He stared quietly at the blurred scenery in the distance, and suddenly said, "Shadow Six!"

A black figure appeared out of nowhere, holding a gray carrier pigeon in his hand.

Xiao Jingchen stretched out his hand to take it, the pigeon landed on his hand, the black bean-like eyes were emotionless, he fixed a small bamboo tube on the pigeon's leg and then raised his hand to fly.

The first half of the night became more and more silent, and the whole world seemed to fall into a deep sleep, and in the second half of the night, there were some noises in the streets outside, and people in some places had already gotten up to work.

Xiao Jingchen didn't sleep all night, he sat on the bamboo chair with his eyes closed, but his thoughts kept flying.

Before dawn, there was a knock on the balcony door, and he opened his eyes sharply and got up and strode over.

Outside the door, Luo Lansheng was looking at him with the corners of his lips hooked: "Finally, the day when the prince will find me in person." ”

Xiao Jingchen glanced at him and didn't speak, and moved a step to the side to signal him to enter.

Luo Lansheng raised one foot but retracted it again: "On weekdays, the prince saw me like a plague god, and today he suddenly came to me, isn't there some mechanism installed in this house?"

"It doesn't have to be so hard to kill you. Xiao Jingchen turned around and said even more mercilessly.

Luo Lansheng pursed the corners of his lips: "I came to the appointment in person to make an appointment with the prince and still talk like this, anyway, I am also the young valley master of the Poison Valley, and I also want a little face in front of others." ”

As he spoke, he walked into the house and closed the door with his hand: "If the prince has any instructions for me, say it, I will listen to it." ”

"You want to run a faction of your own in Poison Valley. Xiao Jingchen walked to the table and poured a cup of tea, the tea was freshly boiling hot water, steaming hot.

It seemed that it was just a sentence that was said inadvertently, but Luo Lansheng instantly became alert, "This is an internal matter of our Poison Valley, so the prince doesn't have to interfere." ”

"I can help you. Xiao Jingchen raised his eyes: "But you must promise this king a condition." ”

"Don't meddle in matters related to you, Lord Wang?" Luo Lansheng raised his eyebrows, this was the same as the agreement made between Xiao Jingchen and Poison Valley three years ago.

But this time, Xiao Jingchen shook his head: "No, I want you to protect Su Qing." ”

This kind of answer surprised Luo Lansheng a little, who didn't know that the war king was careful and everything was premised on himself.

Now that she has married a new princess, her whole person has changed greatly.

"What kind of means does that little doctor have to make the war king fascinated, and I'm afraid he doesn't need any extra protection, right?"

If he had made an agreement as before, Luo Lansheng would have felt relieved, but now that he had changed his mind, he could only realize that something big was wrong, and something big might happen soon.
