After Jiang Muyu finished eating the grilled fish, she saw him leaning against a rock with his eyes closed, not moving at all, so she quietly moved over and reached out her hand.

However, the next second, a large hand wrapped in a strip of cloth grabbed her wrist.

The person in front of him suddenly opened his eyes, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he asked sternly: "What are you going to do?"

Jiang Muyu met his cold eyes, and her heart skipped a beat. She couldn't help but stutter in panic: "I... I am just... a little curious..."

"There are some things you're better off not knowing." His voice became a little lighter.

Then he released her hand and closed his eyes again.

Jiang Muyu looked at him for a long time before walking aside and sitting down, staring at the still burning firewood in a daze.

Another sleepless night.

At daybreak, the two of them continued on their journey.

After walking for a while, Jiang Muyu realized that the scenery around her was becoming more and more unfamiliar. It was not until she saw the flag of Xuancang Kingdom not far away that she reacted.

"Are you from Xuancang?"

"Um."

"Why did you bring me here?" She became a little wary.

Qing Si stared forward firmly, put his hands on her side, holding the reins, and said, "The plague is raging in Tianqian now, you shouldn't go back."

Jiang Muyu frowned slightly: "What is your status in Xuan Cang? Is it safe for me to go back with you?"

"I can keep you safe."

She turned her head to look at him, wishing she could see through the iron mask to see his expression underneath it: "Have you known me for a long time?"

Since yesterday, she felt that he knew her, even though she had never heard of the name "Qingsi" before, but he made her feel very familiar, as if they had known each other for a long time, and he came here just for her.

He said nothing.

Jiang Muyu took it as his tacit agreement and asked again, "Are you Liang Qingchen's man?"

This time, he nodded.

She was not too surprised this time. After all, she had guessed before that Liang Qingchen had his own power in Xuan Cang.

She grabbed his sleeve and tightened her fingers around him, looking anxious: "Where is Liang Qingchen now? He's not dead, right?"

He was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "He is not dead, but it is not convenient for him to show up now. He will definitely come back to you when his great cause is accomplished. At this moment, he just hopes that you can take care of yourself and not distract him."

Jiang Muyu was so excited that she almost cried. The heavy stone in her heart finally settled down at this moment.

Although she had always believed that Liang Qingchen was not dead, everyone had told her that he was dead, and everyone thought she was too sad and unwilling to accept the truth. She sometimes wondered if he had really died on the battlefield as in the book.

Until this moment, someone told her that he was still alive and he was waiting for her in another place, waiting to reunite with her.

"I knew... I knew he wouldn't go back on his word." She smiled, but a tear rolled down the corner of her eye.

Qing Si was stunned for a moment, then he moved a little closer, stretched out his hand and gently wiped away the tears on her face, and said softly, "Don't cry."

Jiang Muyu nodded: "I'm just happy."

"He...will be happy to know that you miss him so much."

Jiang Muyu wiped away her tears and said, "Go back and tell him that I'm fine. Just let him focus on his own business."

"Um."

He responded softly, moving his gaze away from her cheek.

Soon they arrived at Xuan Cang's military camp.

The soldiers stopped them outside, Qingsi took out a badge representing their identity, and they were let in.

Jiang Muyu followed beside him without saying a word, lowering her head slightly, trying to reduce her presence, for fear of causing trouble for him.

Fortunately, the road was smooth.

After they passed the military camp, Qingsi personally escorted her to a border town in Xuancang.

There is a farmhouse here, consisting of three tiled houses and a stone courtyard. It is built in the mountains and is surrounded by bamboo forests. The yard is not big, with two vegetable plots and a small corridor. Grapes are planted on both sides, but now they have withered, leaving only some dark brown vines entwined on them.

The scenery is nice and the air is pleasant. In these war-torn times, this place seems like a paradise.

Qingsi said, "This is the courtyard he specially arranged for you. You can stay here. A maid and a nanny will be sent to you tomorrow."

"Thank you for your help."

Jiang Muyu was about to bow to him, but he stopped her midway: "Princess, there is no need to be polite. This is what I should do."

"Okay, go do whatever you want, don't worry about me."

He looked at her, still seeming a little worried.

"Go ahead." Jiang Muyu waved his hand, turned around and walked straight into the house.

He watched her walk into the house for a long time before turning around and walking out of the yard.

However, he didn't know that as soon as he turned around, Jiang Muyu poked her head out from behind the door, looked at his back, and a dark light flashed in her eyes.

…

Jiang Muyu lived a very carefree life in this small courtyard. The house looked ordinary from the outside, but the furnishings inside were very exquisite. In addition to the bedroom, there was also a study and a kitchen.

There was a large carved wooden bed in the bedroom, and the table and chairs were all made of the finest pear wood. There was a concubine's couch under the window frame, and next to it was a person-high bookshelf with many storybooks piled on it for her to relieve her boredom.

There was also a large wardrobe with many new clothes neatly stacked inside, all made to her measurements. There was a charcoal basin in the room, using the finest silver charcoal, and there was fresh burning incense in the incense burner.

In short, everything you need for food, clothing and daily necessities is available.

Obviously, they were prepared.

Liang Qingchen was truly a man of foresight, he had even thought of this step.

Now far away from the hustle and bustle, she suddenly became quiet. She was still a little uncomfortable, but it also gave her time to stop and think.

She sat on the imperial concubine's couch and sorted out the matter carefully.

The more I think about it, the more I find that many things have traces to follow.

Xuancang, Tiangan and Dongxu, the Three Kingdoms have coexisted peacefully for so many years, why did war suddenly break out?

The current emperor Xuan Cang is the grandson of the King of Zhenbei who successfully usurped the throne. He is only fourteen years old, but he is extremely licentious and tyrannical.

But in reality everyone knew that he had no real power. He could kill anyone he disliked, but he had no way to mobilize any of Xuan Cang's troops. Even drafting and issuing an edict required the approval of the Regent.

He is nothing more than a puppet. Then the one who started the war between Xuan Cang and Tian Qian could only be the Regent.

And this Regent Prince may also have a complicated relationship with Liang Qingchen.

Also, Dongxu could have stayed out of this war because it was the weakest of the three kingdoms and wouldn't have much of a chance of winning against either Xuancang or Tiangan.

They could have stayed out of it, or waited for Xuan Cang and Tian Gan to fight to a loss and then reap the benefits, but they unwisely waded into this muddy water.

Who is the author of this?

Liang Qingchen has been hiding in Tianqian for eighteen years. Is his purpose just to restore the Xia family to the Xuancang royal family, or to make everyone in the world have the surname Xia?
