Chapter 181 Why did you come tonight, sir?
"What, he is your savior?" Zheng Qiaohui was angry at first, but after listening to her daughter's story of her journey from Jiangnan to Beijing, she was no longer angry.
After all, it was true that the man used his body to block the sword and tried his best to rescue.
Ruan Chenglin looked heavy-hearted, but he said nothing in the end. In his opinion, even if he had saved his daughter, his actions today were inappropriate.
Originally, he did not agree with his daughter going to Yunqi Prefecture alone, but now it seems that it is a good idea for her to leave the capital and avoid the spotlight.
Ruan Xiaoyue was in a very confused mood at the moment. She just wanted to start her life again, a life that belonged to her, no longer dependent on anyone, and just be herself.
"Father and mother, I was wrong about what happened today. Xiaoyue is willing to accept the punishment."
In the past, Ruan Chenglin would have been furious, but now that the second wife had survived a great disaster, he knew that his daughter was truly repentant. He sighed and said, "Yue'er, you are a woman after all. You can't keep wandering around like this. Qizhou is close to Jiangnan. If you encounter difficulties, go find your sister. If you feel tired outside, go home."
"Got it, don't worry, Dad."

The case of Prince Chen came to an end, and the situation in the imperial court in Beijing was changing rapidly. Prime Minister He'an was conferred the title of Prince of Anping and went to Jiangnan to rectify the administration of officials. This had not happened in Dongzhao Kingdom for many years.
Since the country's stability, the court has never appointed a king of a different surname. However, He An broke this principle again. It can be seen that in the emperor's mind, Jiangnan has become a serious concern. Only by ensuring the stability of Jiangnan can the Dongzhao Kingdom develop steadily.
The trip is urgent and will start in a month.
The Prime Minister's Mansion, which has always been quiet, is now a mixed bag of joy and worry.
Meng Suqiu: "Tell me, you two have never had a peaceful life since you got married. Now that the matter with Prince Chen has finally come to an end, you are ordered to rush to Jiangnan. Oh, I am..."
"Well, now that An'er has been crowned king, he should take on the responsibility of pacifying Jiangnan." He Qizhan interrupted his wife.
Although she said this, what Meng Suqiu was thinking in her heart was when she would be able to have grandchildren. Their He family was not very prosperous to begin with, and after great difficulty her son had married a wife he liked, she did not expect that both of them were working like crazy, focusing entirely on their work.
He Zimo pulled Qingchi in and threw him into Meng Suqiu's arms, which finally made her feel better: "Fortunately, I still have these two little babies, otherwise my life would be so boring."
She had originally wanted to talk more with them, but her son simply took his wife back to his own yard, not giving her a chance to nag.
He immediately became unhappy again and complained to He Qi Zhang: "Look at me, look at me, the son is no longer under the control of his mother, and his heart and eyes are full of his wife."
He Qizhang nodded: "Of course, I'll do as you wish on this point."
Meng Suqiu: “…”

On the way back to the room, Ruan Qinghuan talked to He'an about the Jiangnan situation: "Husband, many of the states in Jiangnan are related to the He family. Now that the He family has been exterminated, won't there be many vacancies?"
In this case, when they arrive in Jiangnan, they will certainly have a lot of accumulated political affairs to deal with. I am afraid that by then, it will not be easier than in Beijing, but will be more tiring.
"We finally have some free time today, so let's not talk about these disturbing trivial matters." He'an pulled her and walked a little faster.
Ruan Qinghuan sneered: "This is not a trivial matter. When we get to Jiangnan, these things will be enough to give my husband a headache. Why don't we draft a plan first, so that we don't... um..."
As soon as she entered the yard, Ruan Qinghuan was suddenly picked up by He An, who stopped her from talking.
After entering the room, He An pushed her against the door and said, "Tomorrow's problems will come tomorrow, and tonight, I can only think of you."
"He An..."
This feeling suddenly reminded Ruan Qinghuan of the time when he accidentally took that kind of medicine at Prince Chen's banquet not long after they got married, and he kept her in his mansion for three days and three nights.
At that time, he was like a ferocious beast, wishing he could tear her apart and eat her.
Later, this incident alarmed his mother-in-law, who thought that he had a beautiful daughter hidden in his house and was behaving improperly, so she caught her in the room.
Thinking back to that blunder, Ruan Qinghuan still blushed with embarrassment.
"Call me husband..." Everything was finally settled, and He An finally let go of the heavy stone in his heart. The suppressed desire almost drove him crazy.
He looked so different from his serious and solemn appearance during the day. Ruan Qinghuan felt a little proud when she thought that this side of him was unique to her.
"Husband..."
"Madam, I spoke out of turn about traveling. Are you angry?"
"Jiangnan is a place of beautiful scenery. When we get there, I'd like to ask you to take some time out of your busy schedule and take me around, okay?"
Her understanding made He'an feel even more guilty, but he had to obey the emperor's order, so he had no choice but to do so.
The passionate kiss lit up the night and also lit up the spring in the room.
After an unknown amount of time, Ruan Qinghuan was already too tired to make a sound. She half complained and half aggrieved: "Husband, I'm tired, let's take a rest."
"My dear madam, it's still early, be obedient..."
Ruan Qinghuan: “…”
Until the sky turned white, although He'an had calmed down, he still felt it was not enough. He had no choice but to leave Beijing soon and had to give an explanation for the things on hand.

At the Jiang Mansion, Jiang Jie learned about Qi Siwei's situation from Yun Yi these days.
Just as the imperial physician had said, ever since she found out she was pregnant, she had been in a better mood and at least she started to eat well.
It can be seen that she wanted to keep the child.
But the guards who were secretly protecting her also brought bad news, saying that Qi Siwei secretly had someone exchange her dowry for cash and deposited it in accessible banks in various places.
It seems that she still plans to leave.
At night, Yunyi brought the food to the room. Seeing that Madam was in better spirits, she advised, "Madam, Master has been back earlier these days. Why don't you have dinner with Master?"
"The master is busy, please don't disturb him." Yunyi is a person who can't hide things, so Qi Siwei did not tell her her plan.
She is now sitting on pins and needles every day, afraid that Jiang Jie will suddenly go berserk and come looking for her again.
What was even more frightening was what terrible things he would do if he knew that his enemy was pregnant with his child.
In a few days, she should have recovered almost completely. As long as they leave the capital, she and her child will be safe.
Just as she was thinking about it, the door was pushed open and Jiang Jie, dressed in casual clothes, walked in. He came so suddenly that Qi Siwei was so scared that the chopsticks in her hand fell to the ground.
He stood up in panic and asked, "Why are you here tonight, sir?"
Seeing her frightened look, Jiang Jie felt unhappy, but wasn't it him who caused her to be like this?
These days, he investigated the events of himself and his father being hunted down. The one who hunted them was a killer secretly hired by Prince Chen. Prince Chen wanted their lives, so there was no way the Qi family could protect them.
No matter whether it is him or anyone else involved in the Chen Wang case, once they are involved in the game, it will be difficult to escape.
Yunyi didn't understand what was going on and thought that the lady was taking this opportunity to tell the adults about her pregnancy tonight. However, she was chased out by the lady just as she put down the dishes and chopsticks.
Even though she was stupid, she sensed that something was wrong.
