Upon hearing Yan Luo's words, Qin Xiaoyan's face instantly turned red.
Su Wenzhou grinned and said, "Okay, tell Xiao Jin that I'll take her third sister-in-law back right away."
"Then this servant will not disturb General Su's rest any longer. Farewell." Yanluo bowed and left.
Qingcheng is only two hundred li away from Mohan, which can be reached in a day on horseback.
But Yanluo couldn't bear to leave Su Ruojin, as her young mistress was currently pregnant. She was afraid that others wouldn't be able to take good care of her, so she simply sent a letter to Hu Qing and then rode her horse to the capital.
Hu Qing received Yan Luo's letter and sat on a rock by the military camp, lost in thought.
Although they came to Mohan together, Yanluo stayed in Qingcheng, while he followed the prince to Mohan, and the two had not seen each other for a long time.
Hu Qing had planned to visit Yan Luo in Qingcheng after everything stabilized, but she returned to the capital first.
Hu Qing understood Yan Luo; she was worried about the princess, but ultimately, she was still somewhat reluctant to part with her.
Although the two of them couldn't see each other before, the feeling of being 200 miles apart was completely different from being 1,000 miles apart.
"What, Yanluo is gone?" Xiao Yanchu suddenly came to Hu Qing's side.
He had also received a letter from Ah Jin, informing him that Su Wenzhou's condition had stabilized and that Yan Luo was going back.
Xiao Yanchu had already guessed that someone from Qingcheng had delivered a letter to Hu Qing today.
"Your Highness, what brings you here?" Hu Qing quickly stood up.
"It's alright, sit down." After saying that, Xiao Yanchu sat down on the rock next to Hu Qing.
Seeing the prince's reaction, Hu Qing also sat down.
"When we were at Qingyue Mountain, the princess said that she would arrange your marriage with Yanluo as soon as we returned to the capital. But so many things happened that delayed your marriage."
"Once things settle down in Beili, you two don't need to get engaged anymore, just get married," Xiao Yanchu said.
Hu Qing quickly waved his hand, "Your Highness, it's alright. It doesn't matter if we get married early or late, anyway, Yanluo is all mine."
Xiao Yanchu glanced at him and said, "You're quite confident."
Hu Qing chuckled, scratched his head, and looked a little embarrassed.
But this was what Yanluo herself told him: she would only marry him in this life.
He believed what Yanluo said.
"Hu Qing, don't you think Bei Li has been a bit strangely quiet lately?" Xiao Yanchu asked.
"Your Highness, perhaps they've been frightened by our defeat. Everyone in Bei Li knows how powerful Your Highness is. Knowing that Your Highness is guarding Mo Han, of course they wouldn't dare to come," Hu Qing said.
"Do you still remember what Senior Fu mentioned about the Demon Gu King back in Jinghuanglu?" Xiao Yanchu suddenly changed the subject.
"Of course I remember."
This demon king is so bizarre that once you've seen it, you can't forget it, let alone heard of it.
"Now that Gao Hongyuan is in Bei Li, who knows what kind of trouble he will cause."
Having served the prince for many years, Hu Qing naturally understood the prince's meaning. He said, "Your Highness, if I remember correctly, Senior Fu seemed to have said that it would take two years for this Demon Gu King to be fully formed."
"Hmm." Xiao Yanchu nodded, then stood up. "I hope so. If Bei Li doesn't make any moves in two months, let's go back to the capital. We can find an opportunity to deal with Gao Hongyuan then."
It's impossible to really give him two years to raise a demon king.
"Yes, Your Highness!" Hu Qing's tone instantly became much lighter, and the depression he felt from Yan Luo's departure dissipated.
But he can just wait two more months. After two months, he can go back and marry Yanluo.
Yanluo, you just wait for me!
Yanluo had no idea what Hu Qing was thinking; she only knew that she was on her way and wanted to get back to Su Ruojin's side as soon as possible.
When she returned to the capital, she received shocking news.
