Qin Su had been feeling down for a long time, nestled in Yu Shuo's arms, her eyes moist and probably red.
The weather was exceptionally cold today, and Qin Su took the opportunity to snuggle into Yu Shuo's arms.
"Glug, glug glug"
Qin Su blinked, got up from Yu Shuo's embrace, and before she could speak, Yu Shuo stammered, "I...I'm hungry."
These words instantly made Qin Su hold back her tears, and her eyes filled with laughter.
"Alright, have Chongyang bring the food in."
Qin Su also instructed his subordinates to investigate the situation in Huang County, to see if the problems there could be resolved before returning to the capital.
Qin Su stayed with Yu Shuo, reminding him to take his medicine on time, as there was nothing she had to do herself.
Even with the medicine prescribed by the doctor, Yu Shuo didn't seem to be getting any better. The only thing worth mentioning was that his superficial wounds had almost healed.
She thought that as long as Luo Zhi developed the antidote, they would be able to return to the capital, but things just didn't seem to be going smoothly.
Clearly, she had overcome the most difficult hurdle and found the elusive mastermind behind the poison.
result……
"Have you found any other clues?" Qin Su asked Yu Shuo, wiping his mouth. He was in a very bad mood.
Luo Zhi has disappeared.
But Qin Su didn't believe she was "missing." Luo Zhi was very clingy to her and didn't seem like the kind of person who would leave on her own.
"The investigation is still ongoing, and we should have news soon."
Qin Su replied, "You protect Yu Shuo, I'll go check on him."
"No, I want to go too!" Yu Shuo didn't want to leave Qin Su at all; he just wanted to go with her.
Chongyang coughed lightly, "I'll wait outside."
There might be something else going on here that would make it unfavorable for him to be present.
"Susu~" Yu Shuo nestled in the crook of her neck, raised his head, and his noble phoenix eyes were watery, like a fox about to cry.
He used to be dignified and aloof, but now his demeanor completely neutralizes that air of nobility.
Yu Shuo was undoubtedly handsome; every feature of him seemed to be the result of the Creator's meticulous carving, without the slightest flaw.
Qin Su has never had much self-control with him, especially when he's being so affectionate.
We can't hold on, we simply can't hold on.
The gods who descend from their altars are always so alluring.
She swallowed hard and said absentmindedly, "Okay."
"So sweet!" He hugged Qin Su with delight and kissed her on the cheek.
"No wonder I married Susu, Susu is so wonderful, the best in the world!"
Qin Su couldn't help but laugh, stopping just before she was about to kiss his lips.
I suddenly really want him to recover quickly. Maybe I should ask Luo Zhi to treat him when I find her.
Qin Su thought it was feasible, so she took the veil and put it back on Yu Shuo, telling him not to take it off.
It snowed lightly today. The tiny snowflakes were like little dumplings. Some landed on Qin Su's black hair, while others peeked out from the edge of Yu Shuo's veil.
If Qin Su hadn't stopped him from taking off his veil, he would have wanted to.
He saw his father and mother walking in the snow in the palace. His mother said that this meant they would grow old together.
Since he and Susu are husband and wife, they should grow old together.
Qin Su was preoccupied with Luo Zhi's affairs and didn't notice Yu Shuo's thoughts at all.
The scenery on the outskirts of Shacheng is hardly beautiful, so it's quite remarkable that Luo Zhi was able to find a small courtyard here. These courtyards all have special sand-proof walls, creating a unique structural feature.
Qin Su went outside, and the person inside came out and said to her, "They must have been taken away by someone. Bottles and jars were all over the floor."
Are there any other clues?
These people shook their heads.
Qin Su went in and checked around, and the information she obtained was no more than what these spies had gathered.
Yes, they should be better at these things.
"Who kidnapped her?" Yu Shuo stepped forward and clung to Qin Su.
He didn't actually care where Luo Zhi was, but he could tell that Qin Su had put a lot of effort into finding him. It would be best to bring him back.
Qin Su already had a guess in her mind.
Even though Luo Zhi has many enemies in the martial arts world, it doesn't stop her from making her guesses.
A few people, or even a dozen, might not be able to capture Luo Zhi. But if the other side has too many people, Luo Zhi could very well be taken away.
Judging from what happened in the room just now, Luo Zhi wasn't completely forcibly taken away.
At least she should be safe now.
Should we go directly to the City Lord's Mansion?
Qin Su pondered for a moment, then quickly shook her head.
"SuSu? Why don't we let Chongyang investigate? He's very capable."
Later, Chongyang touched his nose. Should he thank his master for the praise?
"I can guess who did it. But..."
"Just what?"
"It's not good to confront them directly."
Qin Su rubbed her temples and asked Chongyang to fetch Zhuang Heyu.
There's another way to contact the city lord's mansion besides visiting in person.
Qin Su asked Zhuang Heyu to find out about Xue Huai'an and to arrange a meeting with him in a private room.
Qin Su appeased Yu Shuo and instructed Chongyang to keep a close eye on him before taking Lian Tao and Zhuang Heyu to see Xue Huai'an.
She wasn't surprised at all that Xue Huai'an came. She had figured it out; Xue Huai'an was a real scoundrel. The more he couldn't get something, the more he wanted it.
Qin Su felt no guilt whatsoever for using him to get things done.
"You contacted me because of what I said yesterday?"
God knows how happy he was when he received her invitation, but he also suspected that she had other motives.
What could be their purpose?
They should have been the most harmonious and loving couple. It was all because of Yu Shuo's interference; if it weren't for him, they would have been the closest of people.
Qin Su: "..." Not only did Yu Shuo suffer a brain injury, but this person also suffered a brain injury?
"I need you to do something for me." She sat down, right across from Xue Huai'an.
Upon hearing her words, all the joy in Xue Huai'an's eyes vanished.
"The Princess Consort of Prince Chen can still ask me for favors?" he said sarcastically.
Qin Su didn't want to deal with him, so she said directly, "The city lord of Shacheng brought a girl back from the suburbs today. I need you to rescue this girl. Don't worry, someone will meet you."
Xue Huai'an laughed, but it was a somewhat gloomy laugh. "Why should I help you?"
Give me a reason.
He was still looking forward to Qin Su's answer.
"Because you should be in Huaizhou right now, not Shacheng."
Xue Huai'an: "..."
"I haven't revealed your whereabouts to the Lord of Sand City, that's already a deal. Why do you want to use it twice?"
To be precise, the Lord of Shacheng and Qin Su had a grudge, which stemmed from Yu Shuo. Yu Shuo indicated to Emperor Mingyang that the Lord of Shacheng was problematic, and in response, Emperor Mingyang ordered an investigation into the Lord of Shacheng.
However, no one expected that the other side's power was so great that they actually managed to evade the investigation sent by Emperor Mingyang.
Even though this incident didn't cause any harm to the city lord of Shacheng, he definitely remembered it. If he knew Qin Su was in Shacheng, he would never let her go.
Using her to threaten Yu Shuo would at least be a good idea.
"It's not about how many times you use a handle, it's about how effective it is," Qin Su said casually, showing no intention of using anything else for bargaining or threats.
