"I originally wanted to deal with it quickly so I could go back to be with you. Who knew that although the plague was under control, there was still no suitable solution to the broken dam."
"I can't wait to fly back to you."
"I want to tell you that I miss you, I miss you very much."
Qin Zongzhi's tone gradually became hurried, and the tips of his ears turned red.
With blurred eyes, what did Zhao Yunzhu not understand?
A short separation is better than a new marriage, and she didn't want to spoil his fun.
Let him do whatever he wants.
They didn't stop until it was dark outside.
Zhao Yunzhu fell asleep in his arms, but Qin Zongzhi was not sleepy at all. He looked at her carefully.
Carefully stroked her soft cheek with his fingertips.
"very nice."
But Zhao Yunzhu, who was sleeping soundly, didn't know about this.
It was not until the second half of the night that she woke up. When she opened her eyes, she saw Qin Zongzhi staring at her lovingly.
"Didn't you get some sleep?"
"woke up?"
The two spoke at the same time and smiled at each other.
He pulled her up and said, "Get up and eat something. I asked someone to leave some food for you on the stove."
"good."
She was indeed a little hungry.
Qin Zongzhi was worried that she would catch a cold, so he asked her to stay in the house.
He went out alone and told the maid to bring the food.
Zhao Yunzhu looked at the table full of delicious food and couldn't help swallowing.
"Eat quickly."
Qin Zongzhi handed the chopsticks to her. Zhao Yunzhu took them with a smile, but after taking several bites, she saw that he still hadn't moved. She asked curiously, "Aren't you hungry?"
"Not hungry."
He rested one hand on the table and looked at her with a doting smile.
"Come with me and use some."
Zhao Yunzhu put down her chopsticks, took out another pair of clean chopsticks and handed them to him, with a little more expectation in her eyes.
"Okay, I'll do as you say." Seeing her like this, Qin Zongzhi couldn't resist at all.
The two of them spent half an hour on this meal before they called the maid to take the food away from the room.
The winter nights were cold and the dew was heavy, so he didn't want her to go out to digest the food, so he just let her walk around the house.
Zhao Yunzhu simply sat on the low couch by the window, resting her hands on the low table, blinking and looking at him, "I think the Wang family seems to like the prince very much."
"Jealous?"
Qin Zongzhi grabbed some peanuts from the plate on the low table and began to peel them leisurely.
"You probably want to ask if Miss Wang is interested in me."
He handed the peeled peanuts to her and said with a somewhat apologetic attitude, "It's my fault for making Madam jealous."
Zhao Yunzhu had never seen him like this before. She was stunned, and the peeled peanuts were already in her hands.
"Don't worry, I only have you in my eyes and heart, Miss Wang. These days, because she's good at riverbank work and wants to benefit the people, she went out with her father to check for dangerous conditions."
Just a few words completely dispelled Zhao Yunzhu's suspicion.
"By the way, why are you here? Did something unexpected happen in Chang'an City?"
These days, he has been busy all day and has not had much time to care about the affairs of Chang'an.
Zhao Yunzhu lowered her eyes and nodded gently. "The Song King and his wife are gone, Concubine Du has already gone away with Master Liu, and Song Shumin has become the Princess of the County. She gave me something."
Every time she said that, Qin Zongzhi's brows furrowed even more.
The sky in Chang'an City has really changed.
"Why would Song Shumin give you something?" He quickly grasped the key message.
Zhao Yunzhu pursed her lips, not hiding anything after all. "She has the evidence that helped Concubine Du escape. Prince Song wants to kill her, so she made a deal with me!"
"Nonsense! Why didn't you tell me about such a big thing? If you had made a mistake——"
Qin Zongzhi stood up suddenly, with rage burning in his eyes.
At this moment, a huge fear suddenly arose in my heart.
He couldn't imagine how she would face it if something happened to her.
Seeing her aggrieved look, Qin Zongzhi's heart suddenly softened. He felt reluctant and annoyed, which made him feel guilty and self-blaming.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have been so mean to you."
He took the aggrieved girl into his arms.
Zhao Yunzhu's grievances suddenly crept into her heart, and transparent flowers bloomed in her eyes.
"Tell me in detail what happened."
He coaxed softly.
Zhao Yunzhu sniffed and then told him all her grievances.
"Luckily you came. I wasn't in Chang'an and couldn't protect you. Now is the perfect time."
Rather than leaving her alone in Chang'an in dire straits, it would be better to let her come to him.
This way he can feel at ease.
"Don't worry, I'm here. When I get back, I'll help you get revenge!"
Zhao Yunzhu listened to his gentle promise, and the grievance in her eyes gradually dissipated. A pair of eyes, still filled with tears, looked up at her.
"What did Song Shumin write on the things she gave you?" Qin Zongzhi asked curiously.
Zhao Yunzhu didn't want him to be distracted at the moment.
So he advised, "You'll understand when you go back and see it. There's no need to rush right now."
Whenever she opened her mouth, Qin Zongzhi naturally had nothing bad to say.
The next morning, Lord Wang sent someone to report early that there was nothing important today and asked Prince An to spend some time with Concubine Yun.
Qin Zongzhi thought that it had been a long time since he had spent enough time with Zhao Yunzhu.
Of course I am happy to do so.
"I'll go out with you today."
Zhao Yunzhu wanted to refuse, but seeing his sincerity, she couldn't bear to refuse.
"good."
I just changed my clothes and was about to leave.
