Chapter 662: Dancing Princess vs. East Factory Admiral 22
Quan Jiu had his back to him, his dark eyes clear and not surprised.
Weizhi is He Miaomiao's dog, hiding in the dark all year round. As long as it is He Miaomiao's order, he will complete it at the risk of his life. Now He Miaomiao gives him to her. Even if Weizhi is unwilling, he will not refuse He Miaomiao's order.
She turned around, looked at the man kneeling on the ground, and said indifferently:
"Remember, this is the first time and the last time."
"I understand."
"Is Doctor Shen here?"
Just as Quan Jiu finished scolding him, there was a knock on the door.
She recognized Xuanyuan Qinglan's voice. She asked Weizhi to get up and went to open the door herself.
"What's up?"
Xuanyuan Qinglan held Xuanyuan Zhuo's hand:
"There's an annual Lantern Festival in Baihe Town tonight. Would Doctor Shen be willing to go out with me?"
Quanjiu is free, so he can go out for a walk.
"Come in and wait, I still have some pills to bottle."
Xuanyuan Qinglan took Xuanyuan Zhuo and swaggered into the house.
The medicine powder on the table was in a mess. Quan Jiu was cleaning it up when a chubby little hand came over.
She glanced sideways and met a pair of big watery eyes.
"I'll help you."
There was a hint of flattery in the little boy's eyes, as if he was afraid that she would refuse.
Quan Jiu met his pitiful little eyes, and the words of firm refusal he had originally intended to say became stuck in his throat.
She didn't refuse nor agree, and continued with her actions. The little girl knew that she was tacitly agreeing, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. A look of joy flashed in her eyes, and her hands moved more skillfully.
Xuanyuan Qinglan saw her brother shake off her hand and run towards Quan Jiu without looking back, trying to show his affection in every possible way, and she felt indescribable in her heart.
"Xiao Zhuo, when did you become so diligent?"
He watched Xuanyuan Zhuo's agile movements, with suspicion flashing in his eyes.
This little tyrant was treated like a star in the Northern Qi Dynasty. He was served by palace servants in everything from eating, drinking, and defecating to urinating. He even had to be coaxed and fed by palace maids when he ate.
Xuanyuan Zhuo imitated Quan Jiu's movements and carefully divided the powder into equal parts:
"Royal brother, Zhuo'er has always been very diligent."
Xuanyuan Qinglan was silent for a rare moment.
Quan Jiu quickly bottled the powder: "Okay, you can go now."
…
The other end.
In the corridor not far away.
Shen San was holding the little white rabbit lantern in his hand, with an excited look on his face:
"Sir, the Lantern Festival in Baihe Town is really lively. Are you really not going?"
Chen Lang put his hands behind his back and said, "No."
"That's a shame."
Shen San felt quite regretful and fiddled with the rabbit lantern in his hand.
"On the way back just now, I saw Divine Doctor Shen and Xuanyuan Qinglan. You said Divine Doctor Shen is a princess of the former dynasty and has never traveled far. How come she is so close to the Northern Qi royal family..."
Chen Lang: "Where is it?"
Shen Sanyi didn’t follow his train of thought for a moment: “Where is what?”
Liang Youyou's gaze fell on him, and he shuddered, then realized belatedly what his master was asking.
"It's by the Huai River. I don't know if anyone has left yet..."
Shen Lang walked away.
………
At a distance of seven or eight meters, Shen Lang could see the people in the crowd from afar.
Quan Jiu and Xuanyuan Qinglan are both people with elegant figures and outstanding temperament. Even in the crowd, just their backs exude an ethereal aura, different from ordinary people.
She is a size smaller than Xuanyuan Qinglan. The two of them stand on one left and one right, with a lively and cute little girl in the middle. Along the way, they attracted the amazed gazes of many passers-by.
If she were to dress in women's clothes again, the scene before her would probably be more like a happy family of three.
Shen Lang's steps, which were about to move forward, stopped as his feet were nailed to the ground.
The three of them stopped in front of a stall selling sweet soup.
Naituanzi brought a bowl of iced sugar water, and Xuanyuan Qinglan naturally took out a copper coin from her waist to pay. Naituanzi grabbed Quan Jiu's arm, asked her to squat down, and fed the first mouthful of sugar water into Quan Jiu's mouth.
It was unknown what Naituanzi said. Quan Jiu tasted the food carefully and replied. Naituanzi narrowed her eyes into a crescent shape and fed her another spoonful. Quan Jiu took another sip, and her originally indifferent brows relaxed, with a hint of smile on the corner of her mouth.
Xuanyuan Qinglan stood tall and guarded the two of them, using her body to isolate them from the crowded crowd, creating a space for the two, one big and one small. She watched them feeding each other with indulgence, and even when she was squeezed against the back by passers-by, she had no intention of urging them to leave quickly.
Shen Lang stared at the smile on Quan Jiu's face for a long time.
He had interrogated many prisoners and could tell at a glance whether a person's happiness was genuine or just pretended.
When she faced him, she was more teasing and seducing, as if to achieve some purpose. He had never seen such a pure smile from the heart on her face.
At least at this moment, she was truly happy.
Thinking of the portrait of the missing person painted by Xuanyuan Qinglan, Shen Lang suddenly felt that if Xuanyuan Qinglan knew that the person he was looking for was the person in front of him, he would probably be happy from the bottom of his heart.
The corners of Shen Lang's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a mocking smile.
perhaps……
There's nothing wrong with this.
The royal family of Meng State hurt her deeply, but the two princes of Northern Qi treated her quite well. If she went to Northern Qi, she would probably not be bullied.
The streets were bustling with people, all of them were traveling together. Chen Lang, dressed in a black robe, stood alone in the shadows, looking like a lonely outsider.
The men and women passing by him all looked at him with strange eyes. Upon closer inspection, they saw some pity in their eyes.
When Shen San caught up, he saw his own parents staring intently at the "family of three".
"Sir, won't you go over?"
Chen Lang withdrew his gaze from a distance, lowered his eyes, and his eyelashes hid the expression in his eyes. He spoke lightly:
"No."
Shen Lang was a little confused.
His master clearly wanted to find Meng Changxi, but when he actually saw him, he didn't want to go over. So why did he rush out in the middle of the night?
Shen Lang has regained his previous expression:
"Go back."
Shen San had followed him for fifteen years and could clearly sense that his master was in a bad mood. He nodded sensibly and no longer had his usual playful smile.
"oh."
………
Quan Jiu vaguely felt a burning gaze disappear from her.
There were too many people coming and going on the street, and even more people were looking at Xuanyuan Qinglan. She was not sure if she was wrong.
"Dr. Shen."
The little kid tilted his head back and suddenly tugged at her clothes.
Quan Jiu lowered his head: "What's wrong?"
"There was a strange uncle who was looking at you just now." The little kid spoke in a baby voice.
Quan Jiu was stunned: "Where is it?"
The little kid pointed to a dark corner not far away.
"The person has left."
The topic should have ended here, but Quan Jiu inexplicably developed a desire to ask further questions.
"What does he look like?"
"Tall, dressed in black, fierce-looking."
