◇ Chapter 35 Just beg me
When we returned to Jiangzhou City, it was already dark.
The imperial physician who came with Qi Xu examined and bandaged Shen Yanheng. In order to make up for the lost time, a screen was set up in the simple hall of the government office, and the imperial envoy interrogated all the officials and servants of Jiangzhou one by one.
Soldiers armed with rifles surrounded the hall, ensuring that not even a fly could get in.
An Qin was not an official appointed by the court, nor was he a soldier on this trip. Even though Chen Yanheng had been the "fiancée" in public in front of Qi Xu, due to the serious incident of treason, Qi Xu had to let him wait somewhere else for a while.
An Qin stood quietly in the corner of the yard, his arms folded across his chest, looking at the airtight hall with a calm expression.
Qi Xu carried the prefect Yuan Xiaomiao, who was almost peeing his pants, out of the house. The first thing he saw was still the slender figure that was motionless like a stone statue.
Qi Xu believed that he had good self-stamina, but if he really had to stand there motionless for so long, he would definitely become irritated.
No wonder the Grand Tutor is so deeply in love with him. The Grand Tutor's wife is also really worried about her lover and is still worried even with so many people guarding him.
What a wonderful couple who understand and appreciate each other.
Qi Xu sighed inwardly at the magic of love. Then, out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of a pink figure. He immediately stopped and lowered his head: "Third Princess."
"No need for formalities." Su Wanwan floated in from the round door and waved her hand. Her bright almond-shaped eyes swept around the courtyard, passed through the heavily guarded main hall, and finally fell on An Qin, who was standing in an inconspicuous corner and almost blending into the background.
Her slender fingers pointed at An Qin, and she raised her chin slightly: "I am going out to secretly investigate the people's sentiments. You, An Qin, escort me out of the palace."
Qi Xu was sweating profusely.
Her Royal Highness the Princess is in love for the first time and wants to glue her eyes to the Grand Tutor. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this time, she has cried, made a fuss, and even threatened to commit suicide, forcing His Majesty to agree to let this delicate princess leave the imperial city. This shows her feelings for the Grand Tutor.
Taking advantage of the fact that the Grand Tutor was busy with official duties, Qi Xu called the Grand Tutor's men out. He could easily imagine a tragic drama in which a willful princess offered a high position and generous salary to force the honest guard to leave the Grand Tutor.
He quickly said, "Princess, this is the personal guard of the Grand Tutor. I'm afraid it's inappropriate. I will select a few of them to disguise themselves as servants and accompany you."
Su Wanwan said: "I want him."
"This..." Qi Xu racked his brains, looking embarrassed.
Su Wanwan pressed on, "Master Qi, my safety depends on your head. If you say anything more, I will—break my legs!"
Qi Xu: “…”
An Qin: “…”
Only then did An Qin withdraw his attention and devote some of it to this spoiled princess.
I thought he was going to use his power to suppress others, but I didn't expect it to be so threatening.
It's really in the same vein as the one inside.
An Qin's mind flashed with the image of Shen Yanheng's despicable and shameless threat to commit suicide by hanging himself or jumping into the lake, and he was not allowed to leave. His impression of the princess changed slightly, and he felt a little stunned and admired.
Qi Xu had an ugly expression on his face, as if he had eaten a fly, but judging from his helpless look, it was obviously not the first time he had been threatened like this.
An Qin didn't want to involve others. He glanced at the airtight hall and said with a slight movement of his thin lips, "I'll go."
Qi Xu was so grateful to God.
It’s none of his business if the Grand Tutor’s man goes with the princess.
Qi Xu quickly retreated with Yuan Xiaomiao in his arms, while Su Wanwan went back to change into casual clothes. She didn't even take the servants with her, and she and An Qin swaggered out of the back door of the government office.
"An Qin, I already know your identity."
Su Wanwan went straight to the point and walked in front with the airs of a princess.
An Qin's pupils trembled, his slender fingers rested on the hilt of the soft sword at his waist, and his eyes suddenly became several times sharper.
Only Shen Yanheng knew that he was an assassin. How did she know that?
If the royal family knew about the existence of Fengyue Villa...
Su Wanwan continued, "The Grand Tutor loves me the most, and so does my father. He always agrees with me. If I insist, my father will definitely let me marry into the Grand Tutor's Mansion."
Although An Qin didn't know what his identity had to do with the princess marrying into the Taifu Mansion, he keenly caught Su Wanwan's words "the most beloved" and thought that it was Chen Yanheng who revealed his identity to the princess.
Because Shen Yanheng revealed his identity as an assassin to the princess, the princess became wary of him when she got on the carriage.
What she said now was a threat to him. She was the most favored princess in the world, and Shen Yanheng was the man she liked, the future prince consort. Should she let him give up on Shen Yanheng?
An Qin pursed his lips tightly, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind.
The man's sweet words popped up at an inappropriate time, intertwined with Su Wanwan's noble appearance in front of him. An Qin felt that his shoulders were getting heavier and heavier, his calm face gradually sank, and his stomach was churning.
Feel like vomiting.
Su Wanwan put her hands on her hips and said, "You are just a small guard. You will definitely not be able to compete with me. However, this princess is not incapable of helping you. If you ask me, I can reluctantly help you ask the emperor for a favor."
An Qin paused: "Guard?"
Su Wanwan: "Yes, the Grand Tutor is one of the Three Dukes. How can a mere guard be worthy of him? There are many people in the Imperial City who want to marry the Grand Tutor. Without my help, you will never be able to marry the Grand Tutor legitimately!"
An Qin: “…”
An Qin tried to understand what Su Wanwan said.
Seeing that he was silent, Su Wanwan's heart began to beat fast: Why didn't he fall for my trick? He looked so honest, he shouldn't be like the Taifu who was secretly plotting against others.
"If you don't beg me, I will definitely ask the emperor to reject your marriage!"
An Qin: “…………” I couldn’t ask for more.
After roughly figuring out what Su Wanwan meant, An Qin's brows were furrowed so tightly that they could almost pinch a fly to death.
Shen Yanheng promised him not to talk nonsense about their relationship and coaxed him into kissing him.
I've been fooled by that scoundrel again!
An Qin's blood boiled and his eyes turned red, but in Su Wanwan's eyes, it seemed like he was compromising.
How could this be possible? She immediately said, "Please beg me, I will definitely help you marry into the Taifu Mansion!"
An Qin said word by word: "No need."
Su Wanwan's plan, which she had been planning all this time, was about to fall through. She didn't bother to act threateningly, but took a few steps back and smiled, "An Qin, An Qin, Master's wife! Please help me. I promise that as long as I'm here, no one will dare to take advantage of the Grand Tutor!"
"Please, please, please, Master's Wife~" Su Wanwan pulled An Qin's clothes and shook them, looking at him pitifully, calling him Master's Wife all the time, completely losing her previous arrogance.
An Qin's ears burned at her repeated calls of "Master's Wife." Su Wanwan's coquettish manner, tugging at her own skirt, was remarkably similar to An Xin'er's, and her words carried the scoundrelly manner she'd learned from her master. An Qin didn't even realize he'd been coaxed into agreeing to her request, and by the time he came to his senses, he'd already returned to the Jiangzhou government office.
Chen Yanheng had already interrogated the people, and the people outside the hall withdrew, leaving only six people to guard the door.
An Qin looked at the quiet door and for the first time felt like retreating.
It’s not that she was worried that the man inside would do something shameless, but her mind was full of Su Wanwan’s coquettish pleading, as if he was really the Third Princess’s… teacher’s wife, and could make Shen Yanheng take back his decision and spare her lessons.
