Jiang Kangan: “…”

Is Your Majesty getting too immersed in the role?

Zhiyu just said that it would be enough to show some estrangement, but it doesn't have to reach the stage of falling out, right?

Jiang Kang'an looked at the emperor with a serious face and had no choice but to agree.

Xiao Lingyu gave him a sympathetic look.

…

At dawn, Xiao Yanli finally avoided the numerous traps and found a secret compartment.

There were only a few pieces of paper inside, stating the date, place, number of people in office, and the total number received.

Xiao Yanli looked at him gravely, his heart suddenly tightening.

Buy official fees!

He was about to continue searching when he heard a sound outside the yard. He had to give up and return according to his memory.

His subordinates breathed a sigh of relief when they saw him come out of the study.

Before daybreak, they hurried back to the house.

After returning home, Xiao Yanli asked someone to put the things back in the study, and he went to Song Shiwei first.

Song Shiwei had already woken up and was clamoring to look at herself in the bronze mirror. Xiao Yanli walked over, glanced at the maid holding the mirror with clear fingerprints on her face, and waved his hand.

The maids all withdrew. Xiao Yanli put the bronze mirror back in its place and said lightly, "Why are you so angry? I didn't let you see it for your own good. How can you recover from your injuries if you're so emotionally agitated?"

His tone made Song Shiwei feel a little cold, but he had a warm smile on his face, and the words he said showed his concern for her...

Song Shiwei held back her tears and said aggrievedly, "I just want to see what I have become now."

The two whip marks across her face were terrifying even to her. Would Xiao Yanli really not be disgusted by them?

As if he knew what she was thinking, Xiao Yanli sat down beside her on the bed and embraced her: "I've said it before, no matter what you look like, you are still my Shi Wei. Don't worry, I will definitely heal you."

Song Shiwei was deeply moved.

After coaxing Song Shiwei, Xiao Yanli went out and saw the maid with fingerprints on her face.

Xiao Yanli took a handkerchief and wiped his fingers one by one: "What did she do after she woke up?"

"First he lay in a daze on the bed, then he desperately wanted to look into the bronze mirror. The servants tried to persuade him for a long time, but to no avail."

Xiao Yanli seemed to be lost in thought. After a moment's pause, he spoke again, "What's the most direct way to make a woman emotionally collapse?"

"For a woman, the most important things are appearance and chastity."

The maid whispered.

Xiao Yanli's face suddenly became extremely ugly.

In order to obtain the treasure of the previous dynasty, Jiang Zhaorong would certainly do everything possible. So, would he...

Thinking of this possibility, the hand that had just touched Song Shiwei's body seemed to itch. Xiao Yanli said in a gloomy voice: "Prepare water!"

…

After taking a bath, Xiao Yanli returned to the study.

He held the letter in his hand. The emotions in the letter were strong, which matched what Song Shiwei said. She did not lie to him.

But Xiao Yanli's heart was still full of confusion at this moment.

Jiang Zhaorong went to Jinzhou because she didn't get what she wanted from Song Shiwei.

Is that because Song Shiwei’s emotions aren’t strong enough?

Or is it because Song Shiwei doesn't have it at all?

If what the maid said was true, Song Shiwei had really experienced those two blows, which would have been extremely devastating for a woman.

If it hasn't appeared yet, either the belief is false, the method is false, or there is no clue to the treasure on Song Shiwei, and even her so-called identity as a princess of the previous dynasty is questionable.

But if that is true, then what was Jiang Zhaorong doing in Jinzhou?

He picked up the jade seal on the table and played with it. Looking at the key and the ring, a light suddenly flashed in his mind.

Perhaps, is it possible that the things on Song Shiwei's body require a token to appear?

But with so many things here, Jiang Zhaorong still went to Jinzhou.

Either something is missing, or these things are fake, and Jiang Zhaorong has kept the real ones in Jinzhou!

Considering that during the epidemic, Jiang Zhaorong volunteered to go to Jinzhou, everything makes sense.

He went to Jinzhou not because of any epidemic, but just to make sure whether these things were still there!

After figuring it out, Xiao Yanli put everything away and called out, "Post a few more people to watch the city gate. If they find Jiang Zhaorong entering the city, go to the Jiang Mansion and bring Taohong and his son back."

"yes."

…

Several days passed.

When you keep rushing along, you will inevitably find yourself looking around and there is no place to stay.

Jiang Wenjing and Jiang Zhiyu sat on the ground in the woods with a few cushions.

Fortunately, there was a river near the woods. Jiang Wenjing caught a few fish, processed their internal organs, and then pierced them directly onto his sword and grilled them for food.

Jiang Zhiyu sat on a cushion with his back against a tree.

[Grilled fish, grilled fish! Sprinkle some seasoning on it later, it's delicious!]

Jiang Wenjing chuckled.

After laughing, he looked at the endless mountain path in the distance and said, "It's almost there. At this speed, we'll be able to reach the southern Gu border in five days."

Jiang Zhiyu responded dejectedly.

The carriage rides she had taken these days made her, a person who never gets carsick, feel like vomiting at the sight of a carriage.

Of course, there is also the weather factor.

[This damn weather is as hot as the end of the world, even the wind is hot!]

Only in the early morning and for a short period of time at night will the wind be slightly cool.

Jiang Wenjing twirled the sword in his hand and automatically ignored the parts he didn't understand.

When he felt the fish was cooked, Jiang Wenjing reached out with his ruthless iron hand, tore off a piece of fish meat, stuck it on a branch, and handed it to Jiang Zhiyu: "Try it."

Jiang Zhiyu reached out to take it, pulled out barbecue sauce from his chest, and then took out cumin powder and chili powder...

It was eaten after being seasoned with various condiments.

“Mmm, delicious!”

Jiang Wenjing: "..."

Jiang Wenjing was stunned.

He looked at Jiang Zhiyu with a complicated expression, and really couldn't understand how she could hold so many things?

And there doesn't seem to be anything unusual on the outside?

Jiang Wenjing was puzzled. He held the sword across his face, opened his mouth, tore off a piece of fish, and chewed it.

A mouth full of earthy taste.

It really doesn't meet the standard of delicious river fish.

Jiang Wenjing had eaten everything on the battlefield, but giving this to Zhiyu was too much for her. He thought Jiang Zhiyu's words about it being delicious were just a way to coax him, so he stopped her and said, "Don't put yourself in such a difficult position. There should be some food we bought along the way in the carriage. I'll give it to you."

Jiang Zhiyu, who was showing off her fragrance: “???”

Why should she feel wronged about eating meat? The real wrong was eating those dry and hard steamed buns in the carriage!

"I'm not wronged, it's really delicious."

Jiang Zhiyu showed off again.

Jiang Wenjing stared at her suspiciously: "It smells so fishy, ​​can you eat it?"

What are you talking about? Jiang Zhiyu also looked at him suspiciously, and after seeing the bare fish meat on his sword, he slapped his forehead.

He was so busy showing off that he forgot he was gone.

Jiang Zhiyu fiddled with Jiang Wenjing's sword for a while and said, "Try it. It has absolutely no fishy smell. I'm not exaggerating, even the soles of your shoes would taste delicious if you dipped them in it!"
