After Gao married the prince, the sick and weak concubine lost her horse

"Xiuyuan?"

Xiao Qinglan, who had a splitting headache, opened her eyes and saw Jiang Zhizhou with an uncontrollable excited face, almost thinking that she was dreaming.

The person in front of him had handsome features, with a trace of time on his sideburns, and his original black hair was also stained with a layer of frost.

Only the outline, the burning eyes looking at him are the same as in the memory.

"Ning Ning!"

Jiang Zhizhou grabbed her hand and wanted to say something, but his voice was choked up here.

Xiao Qinglan collected herself and looked carefully at Jiang Zhizhou. The feeling of her palm being held in his hand told her that this was not a dream.

The man of her dreams is right in front of her eyes.

"How did you come?"

Xiao Qinglan, who was as tough as she was, couldn't help but her eyes turned red at this moment.

Even though they hadn't seen each other for more than ten years, not only did they not have the slightest relationship, but they seemed to have endless things to say and love.

Shen Qingci, who was about to pass through the screen, stopped at this moment.

Only then did she realize that she should give her parents some time to be alone.

She came at a bad time.

Just as he was thinking, Shen Qingci turned around and was about to leave, but Xiao Qinglan suddenly said, "Where is Ah Wan?"

"You came to see me, what should I do, A Wan?"

Jiang Yuwan had already had an accident once, and she couldn't make the slightest mistake after her rebirth.

Xiao Qinglan's heart was seized.

But the words just fell, Xiao Qinglan was wrong after thinking about it.

She frowned and said, "No, the girl I saw before I passed out yesterday..."

Qiuniang said it was... her Ah Wan?

Before Xiao Qinglan recovered from the shock, Shen Qingci poked his head out from behind the screen: "Aniang, are you calling me?"

"A Wan!"

It's really her!

Even though she has grown up, she no longer looks like a little girl who is still being held in her arms and acting like a spoiled child.

Even if the shell has been changed.

But it's still her daughter.

Xiao Qinglan was already sitting up supported by Jiang Zhizhou, and when she saw Shen Qingci, she couldn't hold back anymore.

Shen Qingci ran over quickly holding the hem of her skirt, and threw herself into Xiao Qinglan's arms.

"Aniang, I thought you didn't want me anymore!"

What Shen Qingci said was that Xiao Qinglan escaped from the ghost gate after being poisoned and comatose, but what Xiao Qinglan thought of was her "abandoning her husband and daughter" back then.

Even though she has too much to do, even though she shoulders the heavy burden of the royal family of Chu, she still feels ashamed of their father and daughter.

"I'm sorry, Aunt..."

Jiang Zhizhou held her hand, Shen Qingci hugged the other arm, and said coquettishly: "I know, Mommy, daddy told me all about it."

Xiao Qinglan subconsciously turned her head to look at Jiang Zhizhou, with a little surprise in her eyes.

"I thought……"

She thought she was cheating.

But he never thought that Jiang Zhizhou would have seen through it long ago.

He sighed softly, and said slowly: "I actually knew about the secret agents of Chu State looking for you back then."

He couldn't bear to embarrass her, so he pretended not to know, he just wanted her to make her own choice.

The abbot of Xiangguo Temple was also a life-and-death friend with him. At that time, he had already found someone to dig a secret road in the back mountain of Xiangguo Temple.

If she chooses to stay, he will take his wife and daughter to take advantage of the opportunity of going to Xiangguo Temple to offer incense, and escape from the secret path to get rid of the tracking of Chu's spies.

He has even arranged the escape route and the future life.

If she chooses the great cause of the family and the country, he will also fulfill her.

In order not to cause her any worries, he obeyed her will, pretended to be ignorant of everything about her, and let her leave with peace of mind.

It's just that these things have been kept in his heart all the time. He thought that he would never have the chance to speak out in this life, but he never thought that there is still today.

At the end, Jiang Zhizhou's voice trembled a little.

"Xiuyuan... I'm sorry."

Xiao Qinglan held Jiang Zhizhou's hand back, looked at Shen Qingci, then at Jiang Zhizhou, "How could I be willing to do so?"

The world only sees the brilliance and glory on the surface, but they don't know the hardships and dangers she has walked along the way.

If you are not careful, you will be doomed.

In the first few years, he had to deal with the regent, step by step, and be careful everywhere. After finally overthrowing the regent's party, he had to face the riddled state of Chu.

It doesn't count to clean up the mess, but one must always be on guard against all the wolves and tigers who are eyeing this position.

Because of the decline of the direct line of the Xiao family, especially in recent years, for the position of the crown prince, there are already undercurrents surging inside and outside the court.

She was afraid of bringing danger to their father, daughter and Jiang family who were far away in Daqi, and even took the initiative to cut off all ties with Daqi.

Unexpectedly, something happened to Jiang Yuwan.

Moreover, just after the news came, something happened to Jiang Zhizhou on the back foot.

She, who has always been thoughtful and thoughtful, lost her calmness and reason because of this, so someone took advantage of her loopholes and poisoned her.

Speaking of these, Xiao Qinglan blamed herself.

Shen Qingci was relieved, and then her brows gradually relaxed.

After listening to his parents, Shen Qingci also told what he had seen and heard along the way.

Of course, it also includes meeting Gu Qiuli.

Xiao Qinglan didn't know that Gu Qiuli was Xiao Wenjing, let alone that he was still alive.

At the end, Xiao Qinglan sighed helplessly: "It turned out to be like this."

Shen Qingci shook Xiao Qinglan's arm: "What is A Niang going to do with it?"

This question stopped Xiao Qinglan.

Gu Qiuli planned to murder Jiang Yuwan, and then pursued and beat the reborn Shen Qingci fiercely, so his death would not be a pity.

But for what happened back then, she couldn't be completely free from guilt.

Back then, the most precious glass fire bead of the Dongyi tribe that had just been practiced was supposed to be reserved for Xiao Qingyun, but it was secretly given to her by the Queen Mother.

And that part of the Dongyi tribe's subordinates.

If he had Li Huozhu in his hand back then, Xiao Qingyun would not have died suddenly, at least the six-year-old Xiao Wenjing would not have been hunted down and cornered.

At that time, the remaining Dongyi people were basically under the control of the regent. Qinghe sensed Xiao Wenjing's identity. Although he didn't expose him directly, he hid his selfishness and regarded him as a medicine man.

Just thinking about what the medicine man in the Nether Valley will suffer, Xiao Qinglan's body feels cold.

It's no wonder that Gu Qiuli developed such an indifferent and extreme temperament.

"Where is he now?"

Shen Qingci shook his head: "I'm already chasing him, there will be news soon."

With Qingyu in charge and the help of ferrets, she didn't believe that Gu Qiuli could escape.

It's just that the man is cunning and has extraordinary skills, and there are a group of dead soldiers around him, so it will take some time to catch him.

Xiao Qinglan nodded.

However, she soon discovered the person mentioned several times in Shen Qingci's words just now.

"Who is Aye?"

In front of his parents, Shen Qingci didn't feel ashamed to call him like a husband and wife like usual, and only called him Aye.

However, Xiao Qinglan had been in a coma for too long, and her news was still on Jiang Yuwan's tragic death and Jiang Zhizhou's disappearance after falling into the water.

Afraid of being discovered and used by someone with a heart, she dared not pay more attention to the Shen family and Shen Qingci.

Therefore, she didn't know that Shen Qingci was married to the third prince Sheng Tingye by Emperor Daqi, let alone that the two of them were already married.

Shen Qingci was startled for a moment, then understood.

She subconsciously turned her head to look at the somewhat embarrassed father, and was about to speak, but heard Qiuniang's voice outside the door.

"My lord, His Royal Highness, please see me."

Xiao Wenyan came, so naturally Sheng Tingye also came. (end of this chapter)
