Chapter 336 I'll be waiting for you at Shuoguan

Qi Ze's mouth twitched: "Next time just answer yes or no."

It gives me a headache to hear her talk such big words.

Qi Ze returned the petition. Chu Yian looked at Qin Sheng who was silent, then looked at Qi Ze who had also become quiet and didn't know what he was thinking. He suddenly became very curious.

While Qin Sheng's attention was not here, he grabbed Qi Ze and pulled him away, lowering his voice and asking, "Qi Xiaosi, are you really going to keep your virginity for Qin Sheng?"

Qi Ze: ...

Qi Ze didn't expect her to ask this, and his face froze.

Looking at Qin Sheng, Qin Sheng noticed that the footsteps here stopped and he looked at them from a distance with a cold look in his eyes.

Qi Ze retracted his gaze and pulled the corner of his mouth: "That's not true, don't talk nonsense."

After saying that, he walked away. Chu Yian touched his nose and hurriedly chased after him.

Qin Sheng's eyes fell on Qi Ze, and a dark light flashed in his eyes, but he said nothing in the end. He pulled Chu Yian away quickly.

Looking at the two people's backs as they walked away, Qi Ze hesitated for a moment, then turned and walked in the opposite direction.

Not long after returning to the Zhenbei Palace, Eunuch Lai Fu, who was by the emperor's side, came and brought the emperor's decree.

The emperor agreed to Chu Yian's request to go out, but considering that she was not very smart, she would be easily fooled and led astray if she went out.

He was afraid that she would be cheated out of everything and end up begging for food when she returned to Shengjing, bringing shame to the Zhenbei Palace and Dashun.

Qi Ze was specially asked to follow.

As a legitimate prince, Qi Ze rarely left Shengjing since he was born. Even if he left, he mostly stayed around nearby. This was a good opportunity for him to hone his skills.

By the way, take a look at the sufferings of the world, so that his mind won’t be filled with love and affection all day long, as if he can’t live without love.

After receiving the emperor's order, Chu Yian was dumbfounded.

Why let Qi Xiaosi follow?

Since she needs someone to follow her, it would be better to let Qin Sheng do it.

Seeing what she was thinking, Qin Sheng explained: "As for military affairs, there won't be many people who can take over my work after I leave."

Moreover, something seemed to have happened to his eldest brother, so he absolutely could not leave Beijing at this time.

I never know when I will go to Shuoguan.

Chu Yian looked at Qin Sheng with shock in his eyes: "You don't seem surprised at all."

Qin Sheng lowered his eyes and looked at her, humming without further explanation.

This was probably some kind of tacit understanding between him and Qi Ze. Chu Yian did not ask any further questions and returned to Fuhuayuan in a dejected manner.

He didn't remain depressed for long, and soon he stood up again and continued practicing martial arts.

The order had been issued, and she did not plan to stay in Shengjing for too long.

But before leaving Beijing, I need to make more preparations.

After all, it was Chu Yian’s first long journey, so he felt quite unsure and didn’t feel safe at all.

It seems not bad to have an acquaintance like Qi Ze following me around.

When she had some free time, she went to the Fourth Prince's Mansion and discussed a general route with Qi Ze.

After they had almost finished discussing it, Chu Yian asked him puzzledly, "Why are you so confused that you want to go out with me?"

Qi Ze didn't even raise his head when he heard this: "I don't want to stay in Shengjing anymore, I want to go out for a walk."

Staying in Shengjing, he had Qin Sheng who treated him as nothing on one side, Princess Wuyou on the other side, and the emperor on the other side, leaving him no time to breathe.

Instead of doing this, it would be better to leave Beijing first, take a break for a while, and change your mood.

Chu Yian frowned: "You are a legitimate prince, and the emperor is reluctant to let me go out, how can he let you go out?"

She has many enemies, and Qi Ze may not have any enemies, but this identity is destined to make his journey unpeaceful, which is much more dangerous than hers.

Chu Yian didn't dare to imagine how bittersweet this trip would be.

Qi Ze put down his pen, feeling somewhat helpless: "He doesn't want you to go out, but he's quite willing to let me go out."

"It's getting late, you should go back quickly."

Okay, start chasing people away.

After confirming the date of leaving Beijing, Chu Yian said goodbye and left.

When he left the house, he saw Qin Sheng waiting outside and ran over happily: "Qin Sheng, why are you here?"

"I'm here to pick you up."

Qin Sheng looked at the little girl in front of him who was only as tall as his chest. Thinking that she was going to leave Beijing to do such a dangerous thing, his heart was always hanging in the air and he couldn't let go.

Deep down, I've never felt so anxious.

But he couldn't pass this anxiety on to Chu Yian, so he could only deal with it himself.

Qin Sheng asked in a relaxed tone, "Have you decided when to leave Beijing?"

Chu Yian nodded: "It's better to leave sooner rather than later. We'll leave in half a month."

Half a month is neither long nor short, enough for her to prepare everything she needs.

Qin Sheng hummed, and raised the corner of his lips: "Just focus on practicing martial arts, I'll prepare the things you need to bring."

Chu Yian tilted his head to look at him, feeling a little amused: "Xiao Shengzi, I prepared something for you when you left Beijing last time. I didn't expect that you would prepare something for me so soon."

Qin Sheng looked at her. There was no reluctance to leave in her eyes, but more of anticipation and confusion about the future.

Chu Yian was actually quite scared, but she still took this step.

Qin Sheng suddenly felt a little sour at the tip of his nose. Looking at her like this, he thought of how she looked when he first met her.

Wearing a suit of ill-fitting men's clothes, with bright eyes, he hid behind a big tree like a little mouse.

There is fear, curiosity, and expectation towards this world in his eyes.

But after returning home, he became a completely different person. Whenever he went out with Hua, he was always well-behaved and obedient.

When Qin Sheng first met Chu Yian, he didn't leave a very deep impression on him. He was just one of the many people who laughed at him.

He didn't care who she was or what she thought of him, they were just passing by anyway.

Later, they met several times in succession, and this person kept hiding and peeking, which attracted Qin Sheng's attention.

Qin Sheng remembered his second brother's words, so he randomly picked her out from a pile of portraits of young ladies.

She changed a lot after marrying him, and seemed to be bolder than before, but she was a soul from another world after all, and the uneasiness deep in her heart always existed.

This made it impossible for her to open up to others and she was always a little timid.

But I don’t know when it started, her timidity faded away little by little, and she became what she is today, able to shelter others from wind and rain and bring hope to others.

Everyone said that Chu Yian was marrying up by marrying into the Qin family and marrying into a wealthy family by marrying Qin Sheng.

But Qin Sheng never thought so. He always knew that he was lucky enough to meet this little sun.

The little sun should hang in the sky to give people warmth. It is lucky enough to be able to get close to it for a short time.

Qin Sheng suppressed the sourness in his nose and smiled: "Yeah, it's a pity that next time I leave Beijing, you probably won't be able to prepare anything for me."

Chu Yian smiled and didn't respond.

The streets gradually became lively, and the restaurants and teahouses on both sides of the river lit up their lights, casting light and shadows on the lake.

A small boat passed through the lake, causing ripples and breaking the tranquility and peace of the lake.

Chu Yian stepped onto the bridge, looked at the bustling streets, looked at the beautiful scenery in the lake, turned his head and looked at Qin Sheng: "Xiao Shengzi, come here."

Qin Sheng walked up to her and looked at her with his eyes lowered.

Chu Yian looked up and met his eyes, which looked incredibly gentle against the backdrop of the night lights.

Her voice was very soft, so soft that it seemed like it could be blown away by the wind: "After I leave, you must live a good life."

Qin Sheng's whole body stiffened and his hands clenched in an instant.

He twitched the corners of his mouth, darkness covering the slightly red corners of his eyes: "What do you mean by that? Xiao Anzi, don't you believe me?"

The atmosphere was too solemn, and Chu Yian chuckled: "What are you talking about? I mean that after I leave Beijing, without me watching over you, you have to live a good life, understand?"

Qin Sheng didn't say anything and looked at her stubbornly.

Chu Yian reached out and patted his shoulder: "Look at you..."

Before he finished speaking, Qin Sheng bent down and hugged her, burying his head in the crook of her neck, and spoke in a muffled voice: "Don't worry, Qi Ze is here, he will protect you."

"Besides, the Qin family has so many secret guards, you will be fine."

Chu Yian was stunned for a moment, then patted him on the back: "Well, I know, let go first."

Qin Sheng shook his head: "Don't say such things next time..."

He was already content to be able to have someone by his side as a close friend. God would not take away even this little bit of power.

Qin Sheng said stubbornly: "Just go and do what you want to do when you leave Beijing this time. I will clear away all the external dangers for you."

This is what Chu Yian wants to do. He won't stop her, but he won't really let her go and do it either.

Baiyu Tower has spies everywhere, and it is not difficult to ensure her safety by arranging matters inside the building.

It’s just that Chu Yian doesn’t understand the operation of Baiyu Tower, so he is so uneasy.

Chu Yian touched Qin Sheng's head, feeling warm in his heart: "Xiao Shengzi, you are so kind."

Qin Sheng raised his head, let go of her and took a step back: "Let's go back home first."

Chu Yian nodded, and the two of them returned to the Qin family side by side.

Qin Sheng asked the emperor for a few days' leave and temporarily put all his attention on Chu Yian.

Re-screen the secret guards and have them investigate who is in the place they are going to, what potential dangers there are, and what weaknesses those dangers have.

Baiyulou has a wide network of contacts, so it is not difficult to find these things.

After collecting and organizing them one by one, he began to explain them to Chu Yian in detail.

Afraid that she wouldn't remember, he not only took very detailed notes, but also put aside their grudges and called Qi Ze over.

Qi Ze has been coming to the Qin family more frequently in the past few days than in the previous eighteen years combined, and a smile slowly appeared on his gloomy face.

Half a month passed in a flash, and it was time to leave Beijing.

Although he was reluctant, Qin Sheng personally sent Chu Yian out of the capital.

Before leaving, he whispered softly in her ear: "I've heard news from my eldest brother. I should be going to him soon."

"I'll wait for you at Shuoguan."
