Wearing a book, hooking him up

Jiangzhou, the breeze is intoxicating.

Ning Qian and the other two carefully tidied up the quiet courtyard that they bought in Jiangzhou. Then, based on the information they had inquired after arriving in Jiangzhou, they found the most lively restaurant in Jiangzhou - Qingfengzui.

At this moment, the three of them were sitting in a great position by the window.

There was a sense of leisure in Li Jing's eyes, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, as if he was very satisfied with the environment.

Zhongli Mingchuan was much more excited. He loved wine, and Qingfengzui's wine was famous for its delicious taste in Jiangzhou.

The three of them had been together day and night for five years. Compared to the initial caution he had shown in front of her, Li Jing had become much more calm and confident now. He spoke more and more, and when he walked outside, he looked like an elegant and gentle gentleman.

Zhongli Mingchuan, wearing a sword and a blue suit, should be a cold and ruthless hero, but now he is the most talkative person among the three of them.

"Qianqian, Jiangzhou is famous for its wine throughout the whole Jiangnan region! I don't know how many scholars, talented men and beautiful women came to Jiangzhou just for this sip of wine."

"Today, the three of us must taste Jiangzhou's most famous Ruoxia wine."

Zhongli Mingchuan looked impatient.

Ning Qian smiled slightly, her eyes were full of intelligence, and she said softly, "Ruoxi water is used to make very strong wine, commonly known as Ruoxia wine. It is indeed famous. I heard about it when I was in the capital before."

"Today, my brother and I will definitely drink with Brother Zhongli to our heart's content."

"OK!"

Zhongli Mingchuan laughed heartily.

After the waiter brought the wine, Li Jing took it and skillfully filled the three people's glasses with wine.

The three of them raised their glasses, tilted their heads back and drank them all, looking extremely happy.

After lunch, the three of them prepared to go upstairs to the private room, because there would be a geisha performance at Qingfengzui later. Whenever they went to a place, they naturally had to experience all the delicious food, fun and beautiful things.

The trip was worthwhile.

When Ning Qian stood up, she put on her veil with graceful and gentle movements. She followed Li Jing and Zhongli Mingchuan and walked upstairs.

Just as he reached the second floor, the door of a private room suddenly opened. The moment Li Jing saw the person coming out, his heart seemed to be pulled to his throat by an invisible big hand.

However, he was a man who had experienced many storms after all, and he suppressed his momentary panic. The muscles on his face tensed for a moment, and then he regained his usual calmness. His eyes were as calm as water, without showing the slightest sign of abnormality.

When he was about to pass Jun Zechen, he turned around without hesitation and quickly but gently picked Ning Qian up.

He pursed his lips slightly, his eyes firm yet with a hint of concern.

"Sister, your leg is injured. Let me carry you up to the third floor."

Ning Qian was stunned for a moment, a hint of surprise flashed across her face, then she caught a glimpse of a tall figure from the corner of her eye, reacted instantly, and hurriedly leaned her head on Li Jing's shoulder.

She curled up to block everyone's view of her.

Zhongli Mingchuan was stunned, full of confusion.

Huh? Qianqian's leg was injured? How come he didn't know?

Jun Zechen didn't pay attention to what others were doing and went straight downstairs.

After taking a few steps, he suddenly stopped.

Jun Zechen frowned slightly, and his nostrils flared slightly.

This taste...

A faint, sweet fragrance that he thought he would never smell again in his life.

Jun Zechen's eyes suddenly became deep, as if they could suck people in.

He turned around, looking straight at the gentle man holding a woman whom he had just met with his sharp eyes, his eyes full of inquiry and doubt.

Anshun looked at his majesty's unusual expression. He had been keeping his head down, and now he shifted his gaze to the gentle man.

"Huh? Why does this man's back... why does he look so much like Doctor Jin?" Anshun murmured in a low voice.

His brows unconsciously frowned and his eyes narrowed into slits, trying hard to confirm his judgment.

Your Majesty may not know Imperial Physician Jin, but Anshun is very familiar with the people around the Queen, not to mention the Imperial Physician who saved the Queen's pregnancy.

Although Anshun spoke very quietly, Jun Zechen still heard it.

His eyes were instantly filled with thick ink, the color gradually deepened, and his deep gaze seemed to be able to swallow everything.

After a while, the gentle man holding a woman disappeared from sight, and Jun Zechen turned and walked out of the restaurant.

After leaving the restaurant, he stopped, stood straight, pursed his lips, and ordered in a cold tone: "Send the secret guards to investigate."

At this moment, Jun Zechen had an incredible guess in his mind, but this guess was so shocking that he himself did not dare to confirm it easily.

After all, since there are people like Bai Yingyue in the world, there is no guarantee that there won’t be people in the world who exude the same fragrance as her.

It was Doctor Hu who personally diagnosed that she had died.

but.

What if there was someone proficient in medicine to help her...

"Yes, Third Master." Anshun responded in a crisp and clear voice.

-

When Ning Qian and Li Jing arrived at the private room, their faces were as solemn as dark clouds, without a trace of relaxation on their faces.

Zhongli Mingchuan looked at the two of them with a confused look on his face, completely unaware of what was going on.

"Zhongli, you are a martial arts expert, take Qianqian back to the courtyard, pack your luggage, and we will leave Jiangzhou immediately. I will not go back, we will meet at Taohua Pavilion outside the city."

Li Jing's panic just now had been completely replaced by extreme rationality.

He really didn't expect that His Majesty had also come to Jiangzhou. Just now, His Majesty did not find out the truth, and it seemed that he did not suspect Qianqian.

When in the palace, Li Jing never let His Majesty see his appearance. Even when they had to meet, he would always lower his head.

But Anshun, who was standing next to His Majesty, recognized him, but it seemed that Anshun did not notice him just now.

If Your Majesty suddenly realizes something and starts investigating them, it will be too late.

He can't be with Qianqian now. If His Majesty becomes suspicious, he will be the first one to be investigated.

Zhongli and Qianqian can only go first.

"Qianqian, what's wrong with you? What happened?"

Zhongli Mingchuan frowned and asked anxiously.

"Zhongli, this matter is complicated. I will explain it to you later. Just do as I say first."

Li Jing speaks very fast.

"it is good."

Although Zhongli Mingchuan was full of doubts, he still agreed.

After saying that, Zhongli quickly grabbed Ning Qian's waist and flew out of the third-floor window.

He was agile and swift, like a gust of wind, and he flew over the eaves and walls, speeding across the roofs.

Li Jing was extremely confused at the moment. He didn't know if he was being monitored by His Majesty, so he could only wander around the city aimlessly.

He kept looking around until it was almost dark and the city gate was about to close, then he hurried out of Jiangzhou.

By the time Li Jing arrived at the Peach Blossom Pavilion outside the city, night had already fallen quietly.

Zhongli Mingchuan and Ning Qian had been waiting in the carriage.

After Li Jing got on the carriage, he asked with a tense face, "Zhongli, you are a martial arts expert, have you noticed that you are being followed?"

Although Zhongli Mingchuan didn't know the reason, he still answered seriously: "Probably not, are you being followed?"

Li Jing nodded heavily.

"As soon as I left Qingfengzui, I found that I was being followed, so I wandered around the city for a long time, and finally went to a fabric store I run in Jiangzhou. I was able to get rid of the person who was following me with the help of the store owner."

Ning Qian looked solemn, with his brows furrowed.

Since Li Jing was being followed, they might have been suspected.

"Brother Li Jing, Qian Qian, what important person did you offend?"

Zhongli Mingchuan's face was full of worry, and his brows were twisted into a knot.

"Yes, a big shot from the capital, Zhongli, Qianqian and I need to leave Jiangzhou quickly. In order not to drag you down, Zhongli, we will part ways now."

As Li Jing spoke, a trace of guilt and determination appeared on his face, and there was helplessness in his eyes.

Ning Qian also nodded.

As an emperor, Jun Zechen has a strong desire for control and it is impossible for him to accept being deceived. In addition, Ning Qian also knows that Jun Zechen has been fighting outside for three years and is probably even more cold and ruthless now.

"Brother Zhongli, I agree with my brother's idea. We are separated now! I am glad to have been with you all the way, and I am very grateful for your help today."

Ning Qian clasped his fists towards Zhongli Mingchuan.

"What do you think of me? I've been with you for five years. I'm like a family member to you. How can I leave alone when my family is in trouble?"

"And don't worry too much. Our response today was quite quick. Your enemies may not have found us. We just need to leave Jiangzhou as soon as possible."

His expression was determined.

Li Jing wanted to persuade him again, but Zhongli Mingchuan waved his hand to stop him.

"Brother Li Jing, don't say anything more, let's get on the road quickly." His eyes were firm and unquestionable.

Li Jing and Ning Qian looked at each other, knowing that it was useless to persuade them at this moment, so they said no more.

It's getting late now, so we can only wait until we reach the next city to persuade Zhongli.

Then, Li Jing said to the groom: "Let's go!"

The coachman received the order, raised his whip and drove the carriage forward.

They didn't even take the flat official road, but chose to go through a forest and take a slightly rugged path.

The three of them sat in the carriage, and the atmosphere was depressing.

Ning Qian's eyes were full of worry, and there was always an ominous premonition lingering in her heart.

Zhongli looked at the brother and sister who had always been free and easy, and now they were still frowning because of the man they met today. He couldn't help but make all kinds of guesses in his mind.

Brother Li Jing and Qian Qian have both been to the capital. The man they met today looked very young. They have never heard of such a young senior official in the court.

Could it be a royal relative?

Zhongli frowned slightly, and glanced at Li Jing and Ning Qian from time to time, trying to find a clue from their expressions.

The three people had different thoughts, when suddenly, the carriage stopped without any warning.
