Chapter 374 I'm Not Guarding Her
Between the undulating mountains, the stone-paved roads formed a picture, and the high and low houses were scattered in an orderly manner. Among them, a towering palace was very conspicuous, and large patches of purple, pink, and white flowers were blooming in the palace, which was beautiful.
Outside this city, there is a high city wall coiled like a dragon.
The avenues outside the four city gates extend out, winding around some hills, and are dotted with some smaller villages.
These are like scattered pearls surrounding the main city.
Beyond this large area of habitation, there are several mountains of varying heights. The tallest and largest of them all looks covered in snow.
Fu Zhaoning felt like he couldn't take his eyes away.
"Too magnificent. Is this the Kingdom of Dongqing?"
It does look like a small country with a very small territory, like a lost pearl.
Xiao Lanyuan looked towards the upper left corner, where it was written "Dongqing Scenery".
"yes."
"It seems that Dong Qing will indeed be missed forever."
The small and beautiful hometown looked like a paradise. Unexpectedly, it disappeared due to a huge natural disaster.
Xiao Lanyuan was silent for a long time.
He didn't know what to say for a moment.
Originally, he had not been much moved by what the words on the stone said, but after seeing such a complete picture of Dongqing scenery, Dongqing, a small country that had long been destroyed, suddenly became clear and concrete in his mind.
His mood was finally a little different from before.
Fu Zhaoning looked at him and said nothing more.
Qing Yi also looked at Xiao Lanyuan and moved his mouth, but didn't know what to say.
He had only heard a few words they said before and guessed that it was related to the origin of the imperial concubine back then. Maybe the prince was not only the Prince Jun of Zhao State, but also had some identity from the imperial concubine's side.
But now looking at his and the princess's expressions, Qing Yi felt that he really didn't know what to say. The prince looked very depressed now.
“Are these still open?”
Fu Zhaoning looked at the boxes again. There were so many, but he only looked at one.
She reached out to take the painting, rolled it up, and put it back into the box. If she let him look at it all the time, he would probably be in a bad mood.
"You can take this with you and take a closer look at it in the carriage."
Xiao Lanyuan looked at the iron boxes and chose another one, "Open this one."
"good."
Fu Zhaoning opened the larger iron box.
What caught my eye was a neatly arranged stack of clothes, with two crowns on top.
The king's robe is gold and red, and the queen's attire is black and gold.
The fabric was dense, bright in color, and shimmering, and the golden color on it was pure gold embroidery thread. The embroidered phoenix was soaring in the sky, looking down on the world with its domineering majesty.
The black and gold dragon and eagle are majestic and sharp, and equally domineering.
Since this one was opened, Fu Zhaoning looked at the smaller box next to it and opened that one as well.
When this one was opened, there were two seals wrapped in bright yellow cloth.
She opened one of them, the seal of the Dongqing Kingdom.
The other one should be Master Xuanyuan’s personal seal.
It seems that they are indeed Dong Qing’s things.
"Did they bring so many things out when they went to Dahe?" Fu Zhaoning found it strange.
"The phoenix robe, the national seal, the personal seal, these should all be brought with him. This Dongqing scenery painting may have been painted later."
After all, she was the empress traveling back then, so she definitely brought a lot of things with her.
"Please keep these national seals and private seals for me first." Xiao Lanyuan said to Fu Zhaoning.
Why let her keep it?
Fu Zhaoning sometimes wondered if Xiao Lanyuan knew something, otherwise why would he always give her the things he considered the most important?
Did he know that it was safest for her to hide something?
"Just keep it for yourself. Prince Jun's Mansion is so big, are you afraid that you won't be able to find a place to hide these things?"
Fu Zhaoning was really confused, so he asked tentatively.
However, Xiao Lanyuan felt that she had been willing to accept the token of love before, but was not willing to do so now. Could it be that because his face had become like this and would never get better in the future, she was thinking of leaving?
Actually, although they are husband and wife, they have not yet had sex.
After the two of them talked it out, according to what she said, the most they could do was just start a relationship?
But dating and getting married are different, she said, and if you feel that both parties are not suitable for each other after dating, you may still break up.
Now she doesn't want to help him collect his things?
"It's still a long way from here back to the capital." Xiao Lanyuan said.
Fu Zhaoning was speechless for a moment, and it seemed like he was the same.
There had been an incident before where both the master and the servant were nearly killed, so it seemed that the things were safer with her.
"Well, I'll keep it for now and return it to you when we get to the capital."
She picked up the two seals and stuffed them into a bag she was carrying. This bag was also sewn by her on the road, imitating her previous mountaineering bag, using several layers of fabric, and she added waterproof cloth in the middle layer herself, anyway, no one could see it.
Xiao Lanyuan only knew that her backpack looked strange but was very practical and lightweight. Once it was tied up with a strap, the things inside would not fall out.
He planned to have someone make a batch of them after he returned, so that all the guards around him could carry them. However, Fu Zhaoning thought it was a bit strange for the guards to carry mountaineering bags, so he planned to improve them and make them pure black to look cool and neat.
After stuffing it into her bag, her bag didn't bulge out completely.
Xiao Lanyuan sometimes felt that her backpack was too big, so he took another look at it.
Fu Zhaoning was carrying a backpack, but in fact, some of the things he took out were taken out from the pharmacy under the cover of the backpack.
Of course she would not let Xiao Lanyuan discover this secret.
Now that he was looking at her backpack, she didn't feel guilty at all. Anyway, he couldn't see any mystery.
"Or else let's take a look at what these are."
She looked at the iron boxes and thought it would be better to go through them again so that she would be mentally prepared.
If you encounter any accidents along the way, you should give up some things that can be abandoned, or protect some things that cannot get wet. You have to have a bottom line.
"good."
Xiao Lanyuan made a gesture, and all the guards stepped back a few steps and turned their backs.
Seeing how cautious he was, Fu Zhaoning looked at Baihu and the others.
"clear."
Baihu and the others immediately stepped back a few steps and turned around.
"Or you can drive slowly by yourself? I'll sit on the rock over there and wait for you." Fu Zhaoning handed him the iron hairpin.
"I'm sick." Xiao Lanyuan felt a little depressed. He didn't mean to be on guard against her. He didn't take the hairpin.
