The wound was obviously not treated, and Shen Huaixu couldn't help but ask: "The wound on the face was not treated?"

"It's nothing, just a minor injury." Fu Yin's voice was a little hoarse. "Did you see the note I left for you?"

Shen Huaixu nodded, "I see."

Out of professional habit, she couldn't bear to look at the wound on Fu Yin's face. She raised her hand and motioned Fu Yin to sit on the small couch, "Let me help you deal with it."

As he spoke, Shen Huaixu had already put down the cat in his hand and took out a modern-style medicine box from the space, which was fully equipped with various items.

A smile appeared in Fu Yin's eyes, and all the depression he had felt these days disappeared because of Shen Huaixu's words.

He still remembered the day he and Shen Huaixu separated, and the anxiety and worry he felt when he couldn't get any news from the other party.

Seeing that the person had sat down obediently, Shen Huaixu disinfected the wound with a cotton swab and asked, "Did you attack the Northern Qiang King's tent directly? What are the casualties?"

"Before we reached the king's tent, our scouts discovered that the Northern Qiang King had left the tent. After we caught up with him, we learned that he was trying to unite the various desert tribes. He didn't have many men with him, so it would be easy to kill him."

Seeing that he spoke lightly, Shen Huaixu patted his shoulder, and immediately noticed that his subordinate's body stiffened, "Then how did you get the injury on your shoulder?"

She just noticed that Fu Yin's right shoulder had hardly moved since he came here.

Fu Yin looked up at Shen Huaixu and told him everything that happened afterwards. "After the Northern Qiang King was killed, we were blocked on the grassland. They had too many people. In the end, Qi Zhan led his troops to help us break out."

"It's a good lesson." Shen Huaixu smeared the green juice he had ground on the wound and then bandaged it carefully.

After bandaging it, she looked at the gauze on Fu Yin's face and shook her head with regret, "It's such a pity to leave a scar on your face."

As she said this, she simply packed up the medicine box.

Fu Yin's eyes deepened. Originally, he thought this body was just a burden, but now he changed his mind.

“Chen Huaixu, I won’t leave scars, and I don’t mind you looking at them more.”

What are you looking at? His face?

Chen Huaixu turned to look at Fu Yin, and after a long pause, he said, "Don't be so narcissistic. By the way, I still don't know how effective these leaves are. How's the wound on your abdomen?"

"The effect is very good. Do you want to see it?" Fu Yin asked while his hands had already started to move. He lifted up the hem of his clothes to expose the previous wound.

Shen Huaixu was helpless, "It's fine as long as it's healed, no need to show it to me."

After closing and putting away the medicine box, she said, "Let's get down to business."

Fu Yin had no choice but to put down his hands and listen carefully to the person opposite him.

After briefly explaining how the Qiong insect lost its connection with him, Shen Huaixu took out the glass ball containing the Qiong insect and asked, "How can I tell whether the Qiong insect has run out of energy or has been interfered with by humans?"

Fu Yin reached out and took the transparent sphere, placing it between the nearest candlestick and his eyes. He spoke slowly, "The energy in the Qiong insect's body is indeed not comparable to Fu Bao's, but it will definitely not be consumed so quickly. The method of judging is also very simple. Before the energy is exhausted, there will be an early warning."

Shen Huaixu touched his chin and thought for a moment, "Although I don't know what the early warning you mentioned is, but before today, I really didn't feel anything unusual."

She sighed softly, "It seems that what we looted from Qiao Man is not all she has. Also, we should have known she was no ordinary person the moment she ran away."

Fu Yin's eyes moved slightly, "Have you found Qiao Man's whereabouts?"

"Forget it." Chen Huaixu poured two cups of still warm tea and placed one in front of Fu Yin. "Meng Jue has a connection with the witch of Nanxia."

"If Qiao Man has the ability to choose a host, after learning from the last time, she will not be inferior to others again." Fu Yin took a sip of tea, and his voice, which had been a little hoarse, recovered a little.

Shen Huaixu nodded in agreement.

Even if the witch is above ten thousand people, she is still below one person. Qiao Man is so ambitious that she will only find a better choice.

She couldn't help but sigh again, "What a hassle."

To Fu Yin, Qiao Man was not a big deal. The antagonistic relationship had already formed, and he didn't mind taking another life.

The sharpness in his eyes flashed away, and he said in a cold tone: "If you find it annoying, I will kill her."

"Don't be reckless. She has prepared a lot of things to target me, and she must be on guard against you as well. Let's wait and see what happens. There's no need to move Marquis Zhenyuan. At least this man has appeared in the open. If we kill him, who knows who Qiao Man will go after, which will be even more troublesome. Just be more cautious in your daily life."

Fu Yin nodded nonchalantly, "As you say."

As the conversation neared its end, Shen Huaixu yawned and ordered everyone to leave. "Go back quickly. I need to rest."

She was wearing thin clothes, and her hands and feet were cold, and she felt cold all over.

After Fu Yin stood up, he remembered something and did not disappear immediately. Instead, he looked at Shen Huaixu and said, "I should be back to Beijing soon."

Shen Huaixu paused, his mind slightly hazy from sleepiness, "Does it matter whether I return to Beijing or not?"

After all, in her opinion, as long as she wanted, she could see Fu Yin every day, just like when Fu Yin was in the capital.

She quickly realized, "Is it the Emperor who wants to give me a reward? The north is bitterly cold, and it would be great if I could return soon."

Fu Yin smiled, and his eyes, like a clear lake, rippled. "I'm telling you, remember to pick me up when the time comes."

Shen Huaixu, whose mind was occupied by sleepiness, waved his hand, signaling him to leave quickly.

The restaurant is located on Hongyu Street in Xishi, right at the intersection. It is the bustling place in Xishi and is bustling with people both morning and evening.

Chen Huaixu and Yan Qun arrived first. After walking around the restaurant which was not yet fully decorated, they waited for the late Chen Su.

"If Daddy is too busy, just send someone to tell me. This is not a big deal."

"Since I promised you, how can I go back on my word?" Chen Su pondered, "I also have something important to tell Miaomiao. Let's go in and tell her."

As soon as Shen Huaixu saw his father's expression, he knew it was an important matter and immediately followed him into the restaurant.

While the father and daughter were talking, Yan Qun was discussing the details with the craftsmen and did not go forward to disturb them.

On the other side, Shen Huaixu also knew what the important matter was. She opened her eyes wide in surprise, "Shangguan Zhu submitted a petition to resign? How is that possible?"

Soon she frowned again, "Retreat to advance?"

Chen Su glanced at Chen Huaixu with admiration. "Yes, that memorial does reveal true feelings, but it also touches on the past everywhere. It's obvious that it's intended to make Your Majesty consider the friendship between the two and make an effort to retain him. Does Miaomiao know if Your Majesty will respond?"

Chen Huaixu sighed softly, holding his face in his hands, his face full of depression. "You've already said that His Majesty is soft-hearted and doesn't respond to force, and Shangguan Zhu has cleared himself of all charges. How could he possibly be asked to resign? It's really strange. I've never heard of Shangguan Zhu targeting you before. How could he kill someone with just one blow?"
