Chapter 140 "If you want someone to fall madly in love with you, give him the Hehuan Gu"
Seeing her suddenly agitated, Shen Changning hurried to comfort her.
"Yan Zijing and Yiqian have arrived in the capital. My people have received them. Don't worry."
Only then did Shen Changle breathe a sigh of relief.
But I still feel uneasy.
If Wang Xiao was implicated by Yan Zijing, she would not be able to explain to Jiang Ci'an.
Seeing her concerns, Shen Tingyu took the opportunity to speak:
"Yesterday's assassination attempt was unsuccessful. Wen Zhixue must have already begun searching for Yan Zijing's whereabouts. We should return to the capital as soon as possible to avoid any further complications."
Seeing that Shen Changning and the other two were still hesitant, he persuaded them again:
"As long as the carriage moves slowly, it won't affect my recovery."
in this way……
Shen Changning had no choice but to agree.
"Then we will set off for Beijing tomorrow."
Shen Changle had no choice but to nod.
Seeing that it was getting late, she stood up.
"Then I'll go back and clean up."
Just as he was about to bow and leave, Shen Tingyu stopped him.
"Changle, there is something the Emperor and I want to discuss with you."
Over the past few days, he has realized how important Jiang Ci'an is to Shen Changle.
Since this concerned their future, he had to ask her opinion.
Shen Changle looked at Shen Changning in confusion and saw him nod slightly.
She had no choice but to stay and stand respectfully.
"What is it, please tell me clearly, uncle."
Shen Tingyu sat up straight with his arms propped up.
Shen Changle hurriedly went up to support him.
My heart was beating fast, wondering what was going on that made it so formal...
After helping Shen Tingyu sit down, he spoke:
"I think Jiang Ci'an has discussed this with you—
He said he had no intention of returning to Anguo and asked us to take the token to negotiate with Anguo. He lied and claimed that he had no knowledge of the matter.
In this way..."
He paused for a moment.
Shen Changning also walked behind her and gently supported her shoulders.
This made her even more curious about what the emperor's uncle wanted to say!
Why are they both so serious?
"What is the emperor worried about?"
Shen Tingyu smoothed his eyelashes, and after a while, he finally spoke:
"I've thought of this approach before, but if I really do this...
Changle, in the eyes of the Anguo royal family, you have become the villain who prevented him from returning to the country.
What if one day..."
The emperor's uncle was worried that if she really went to Anguo in the future, the royal family of Anguo would make things difficult for her?
The emperor's uncle is thinking too far ahead...
Shen Changning also helped her turn around, looked into her eyes, and said seriously:
"So, promise my brother that you won't go to Anguo, okay?"
Shen Changle was stunned by the worry in his eyes.
Then he nodded vigorously.
"Don't worry, my royal brother. Jiang Ci'an has also said that he will not let me marry far away in Anguo."
But even though she said that...
Shen Changning was still worried.
How could he not be afraid?
He only has this one sister!
He lowered his eyes to look at her belly and sighed softly.
I can only pray secretly that Emperor Anguo can live a few more years, or give birth to another son in his old age.
otherwise……
Put yourself in his shoes. If he were Emperor An...
He was also unwilling to give away half his life's work to others!
Even though they haven't met yet, he wants to leave the world to the little one in his sister's belly!
Perhaps this is the power of kinship...
"Okay, let's go back and have some rest. We have to travel tomorrow."
"Well, my brother and uncle should settle down as soon as possible. Changle will take his leave."
Shen Changle left Shen Tingyu's room.
I still keep thinking about what they said.
If Jiang Ci'an really has to go back to Anguo in the future...
What should she and the child do?
Forget it, don't want to...
Let’s get through this hurdle first!
She shook off her confused thoughts and returned to her bedroom.
Jiang Ci'an also got up and was about to go find her.
Seeing her come back, he strode towards her.
"Where have you been? Why didn't you wake me up to stay with you?"
Seeing his anxious look, Shen Changle inexplicably recalled Zhu Jiuxing's analogy of a suckling child...
Suddenly it feels quite appropriate!
Covering her lips and laughing.
Looking at his puzzled look, I comforted him softly:
"I went to visit the Emperor's uncle. He insisted on leaving for the capital tomorrow. The Emperor couldn't persuade him, so he had to agree."
He turned back and told Baizhi to serve the meal.
I didn't take this to heart, but...
As soon as Bai Zhi left, Jiang Ci'an hugged her tightly.
He begged her anxiously:
"Changle, promise me you won't leave me again!"
Shen Changle was stunned.
Only then did I realize how insecure he was beneath his tough exterior.
Patting his back gently, she coaxed him softly:
"Okay, I won't leave you, don't worry..."
He was still unwilling to let go and held her tightly, only then did he feel at ease.
He didn't let go until he heard a noise outside the door.
As soon as the maids and old women came in, they turned around and pretended nothing had happened!
He turned back into the cold and indifferent prince consort he used to be...
After dinner, the two of them briefly reviewed the unfinished homework in the cave and went to bed early.
When we set off on the second day.
Shen Changle discovered that Qi Qiongyu had also joined the main force.
Perhaps she was instigated by someone, she always deliberately got closer to her.
And he specifically chose the time when Jiang Ci'an was in her car!
With her in...
The two of them wanted to be affectionate, but it was not possible!
That day, she came again to pester Shen Changle to review his lessons.
Jiang Ci'an was very annoyed, but he also wanted to avoid suspicion, so he had to leave the carriage.
He rode horses with Zhu Jiuxing at the head of the team, and his face was as black as the bottom of a pot the whole time.
Zhu Jiuxing talked to him, but he ignored him.
"Brother, you said it's great to be a high-ranking official! That banquet in the provincial capital, with so many meat dishes, was so delicious! I've never eaten such delicious food in my life!
Hey? Second brother, if a prefect can eat so well, then the people in the palace must eat gold every day, right?
Have you ever asked your sister-in-law what the palace is like? Are all the beams made of gold?..."
Seeing that Jiang Ci'an ignored him, he kept asking:
"Second brother, why aren't you talking? Second brother?"
"do not bother me!"
Jiang Ci'an rode ahead and left him behind.
Zhu Jiuxing grumbled unconvincedly:
"Tsk, I'm riding my horse here by myself, and you came to look for me, didn't you? Who's bothering me..."
Suddenly remembering something, he spurred his horse to chase after him.
"Second brother! Were you kicked out by your sister-in-law?"
He didn't hesitate and shouted loudly.
This caused the guards around to look up at Jiang Ci'an.
Jiang Ci'an really wanted to slap him, and rebuked him in a deep voice:
"What nonsense?"
"Then why did you suddenly come out to ride a horse?"
Jiang Ci'an then sighed and pinched his eyebrows in annoyance.
"Someone was in her car."
"That wild woman again? I think she's deliberately trying to mess with you two! This won't do... I have to find a way to deal with her!"
Zhu Jiuxing's eyes rolled and a bad idea came up.
Pull Jiang Ci'an into the carriage.
Shouting loudly to Shen Changle:
"Second sister-in-law, do you still have that Hehuan Gu you gave to my second brother? Give me some!"
Shen Changle was confused. He looked at Jiang Ci'an, who was also confused, and asked:
"Hehuan Gu?"
Is it a love poison?
Or is it the cassia tree?
"Yeah, my second brother told me, if it weren't for that Gu, how could he be so obsessed with you!"
Jiang Ci'an was afraid that Changle would think too much, so he slapped him hard on the back of the head.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Are you looking for a fight again?"
Zhu Jiuxing covered the back of his head, moved closer to Qi Qiongyu, and deliberately said to her:
"That's right! I know it all. If you want someone to fall madly in love with you, just give them the Hehuan Gu!"
