"Perhaps this is the destiny that Mother told you about. No matter what you do, you are naturally attracted to me."
"So, no matter what Luo'er does, whether it's cooking or you're busy with your own things, drawing weapon blueprints, practicing martial arts and archery, no matter what you look like, it will make me happy and the gods happy."
"Even if you were to leave me for the Western Regions, although I'd be very reluctant, Luo'er's affectionate and loyal character, as well as her courage and loyalty, are just as deadly and captivating to me. I simply can't take my eyes off her."
"So Luo'er, don't let me down."
"Come back to me soon."
Duan Rongshi held her hand and put it against his cheek, reluctant to let go.
Li Qingluo's eyes turned red: "Okay."
After breakfast and dinner, Nanny Zheng and the others came early to collect the dishes.
Then, he sent away all the guards and servants near Tangdi Residence.
There were only two of them left in the yard.
They first walked hand in hand in the yard, and then fed the fish in front of the fish tank.
Sitting under the tree and playing chess again.
Li Qingluo held Duan Rongshi's hand, trying to stop him from dropping the decisive chess piece.
Finally, we sat under the tree and played together.
When it got dark, they sat together on the porch again and watched the pair of fireflies in the flowers.
After a while, Li Qingluo fell asleep leaning on Duan Rongshi's shoulder.
He was just about to pick her up and carry her back to the room and put her on the bed when Li Qingluo suddenly woke up.
"Go to sleep. We have to travel tomorrow, so get some rest early tonight."
Duan Rongshi tucked the quilt for her and was about to get up and leave, but Li Qingluo stood up and hugged his neck.
"Ashi, I can't bear to sleep."
She also wanted to see him more and spend more time with him.
I don’t know how long this separation will last.
What month is it?
Or a few years?
Li Qingluo didn't even dare to give himself an exact date.
So, after tonight, I don’t know when we will meet again.
Li Qingluo could no longer hold back and began to sob softly.
She was rarely so weak.
But at this moment, I no longer want to endure the sadness and sorrow of parting in my heart.
"Ashi, if you had finished dealing with the affairs of Da Chu earlier, would you come to find me?"
Duan Rongshi coaxed her gently and replied, "Okay."
"If you can finish your work sooner, I hope my Luo'er will stop playing around and come back to me right away."
"We have a deal?"
Li Qingluo hooked her finger with his while crying.
Seeing her like this, Duan Rongshi coaxed her: "Since you are so sad, why don't you stay? Let them go!"
Li Qingluo quickly shook his head: "No!"
Duan Rongshi knew it.
She cried, but it was also to comfort him.
"You little rascal."
"So what are you going to do to stop crying?"
Li Qingluo sat up, still twitching.
"Don't worry about me, I'll be fine soon."
Duan Rongshi decided to give her time.
I simply got up and sat cross-legged on the low couch beside the bed.
He picked up a pen and paper and started writing and drawing on the paper.
Li Qingluo wiped her tears and calmed herself down before following him.
"What are you drawing?"
Duan Rongshi: "A diagram of the relationships between the various tribes in the Western Regions."
"Luo'er, take your time and look around on the way, so you don't end up groping in the dark when you get to the Western Regions."
"Also, Pofeng is in Mantuo City."
"Once you're there, you can contact him. He'll follow your instructions and help you."
Li Qingluo was very surprised: "Broken wind?"
She hadn't seen Pofeng for a long time and knew that Pofeng had been secretly sent by him to do something else. It turned out that he was in Mantuo City!
Li Qingluo immediately agreed: "Okay."
"By the way, there's one thing I haven't told you yet."
"I've already had the Hexi Garden that your uncle gave me cleaned up."
"That's the Prince of Yue's Palace now. After I leave, you can move there, right?"
"Otherwise, His Royal Highness the King of Yue would still be living in such a small house, and he's a live-in son-in-law, which would only make people like Nan'an laugh."
"I won't agree!"
Duan Rongshi also agreed: "Okay."
The two smiled at each other and made some plans for each other.
After a while, Li Qingluo took the initiative to pester Duan Rongshi and wanted to tease him.
Duan Rongshi held her hand helplessly.
It was obvious that he was almost on fire with her, but he still maintained a trace of rationality.
"Aren't you tired yet?"
"Are you really coming?"
"Can we still travel tomorrow?"
Li Qingluo threw herself at him with a smile: "Spring nights are too short, my husband."
"If you don't cherish this evening, you'll be alone in this empty room for who knows how long."
"Are you really going to be polite?"
Upon hearing this, Duan Rongshi pulled her into his arms.
"Luo'er, you asked for this."
"I'll make you regret it!"
Sure enough, when Li Qingluo was no longer able to get up and could not even open her eyes, he still refused to let her go.
Just coax her and let her sleep. Don't worry about him.
Can we just ignore this?
Will she be able to sleep anyway?
She really regretted it.
Only after she cried and begged for mercy did he wipe her tears and let it go.
When I woke up, Duan Rongshi was really gone.
Li Qingluo touched the pillow beside him with some disappointment. After he stood up, Que'er came in to serve him.
She didn't know where to look, and could only say with a blushing face, "Miss, His Highness said he didn't want to see you go, so he went to court."
"Let us...have a safe and smooth journey."
Li Qingluo: "I understand."
"Que'er, let's pack up and set off quickly."
Just as I got up, dressed and washed, Nanny Zheng brought in a letter.
"Miss, this is the letter that Jiang Qiniang's nanny personally delivered early this morning."
"It seems quite urgent."
Li Qingluo: "Jiang Qiniang?"
Li Qingluo quickly opened it and took a quick look. His expression gradually became strange.
Que'er realized that something had happened again and couldn't help but ask, "Miss, what's wrong? What did Jiang Qiniang say?"
Li Qingluo placed the letter on the table and asked, "Do you still remember the Thirteenth Lady of the Jiang family?"
Que'er: "I remember. It was the daughter of Mr. Jiang Sanye. She ran to us covered in blood that day, begging us to save her... But this girl is very strange. In any case, I don't think she is that simple."
Li Qingluo: "She went to ask Minister Jiang for help, saying that she wanted to enter the Prince of Yue's mansion and become His Highness's concubine."
