My husband married a concubine? I turned around and married the cold prince.

"Will this cause you trouble?" An Qingqian was a little worried.

Originally, she planned to follow these men in black and kill them after they left here.

Who would have thought that Shi Qiuwu would actually sense something was wrong and bring people here.

"It's okay. I will ask them to handle the scene here properly and won't let the people from Jingzhao Prefecture find out anything." Shi Qiuwu knew what An Qingqian was worried about.

An Qingqian had drugged those people just now, so their movements became slow. Tianshu and Tianji killed them all with almost no effort.

"Master, they are all dead. They are all assassins. I left one alive to question him. Who knew he had poison in his mouth? When he saw the situation was not going well, he bit the poison and committed suicide."

Tianji clasped his fists and reported the situation. After that, he couldn't help but secretly look up at An Qingqian who was standing next to Shi Qiuwu.

Tianshu just said that the person in black in front of him was the woman who came to see the prince two days ago, and she was the daughter of General An Zhenyuan.

He was very curious. When did a woman become able to stand next to his master?

Moreover, it seems that the master has special feelings for this woman.

However, he seemed to remember that General An's daughter was already married.

"Go and see if they have any marks or tattoos on their bodies and check their identities." Shi Qiuwu was not surprised to hear that they were all dead.

However, he was very curious whether these people were coming for An Qingqian or for him.

Now all we need to do is find out their identities and this problem can be solved.

"Yes." Tianshu took the order and left.

"Let's go. I'll take you back." Shi Qiuwu put his hands behind his back and glanced at An Qingqian.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I can do it on my own." An Qingqian didn't expect Shi Qiuwu to offer to take her back. She was a little stunned. With her skills, there would be no problem for her to go back alone.

If she hadn't been so cautious just now, she would have killed all of them.

"Let's go." Shi Qiuwu turned around and didn't allow An Qingqian to refuse.

An Qingqian had no choice but to hurry up and catch up.

It is already late at night and the streets are quiet. Apart from the bright moonlight, there is no other light.

Occasionally, when passing by one or two trees, the withered yellow leaves on them fell down in the breeze.

An Qingqian felt that there was some awkwardness between the two of them, so she took the initiative to speak to break the silence.

"Sir, what do you think these people's purpose is?"

"Their target may be you, or it may be me. They just saw you coming out of the Xianwang Mansion, so they wanted to arrest you and ask some questions."

Shi Qiuwu's voice was somewhat calm, and An Qingqian's originally agitated mood slowly calmed down.

"I don't know whose men they are." An Qingqian turned his head to glance at Shi Qiuwu.

He was wearing a dark robe and had a tall stature, but he did not look oppressive. His face was turned to the side, so his expression could not be seen clearly, but his eyebrows and eyes were sharp and his temperament was outstanding.

"Once Tianshu and Tianji find out the real culprit behind this, I will send someone to tell you." Shi Qiuwu turned around and looked over when he noticed An Qingqian was looking at him.

Meeting Shi Qiuwu's gentle gaze, An Qingqian blinked and withdrew his gaze slightly embarrassedly.

But he didn't notice the smile on Shi Qiuwu's lips.

"What's wrong with you? Is there something you want to say?"

An Qingqian pursed her lips and shook her head.

She didn't know what to say, she just felt that the situation between the two of them was a little awkward and wanted to find a topic to talk about.

After returning home, An Qingqian immediately wrote a note, detailing the situation of the antidote, and took out a wooden hairpin from the drawer of the dressing table.

The wooden hairpin is carved with camellia, which is extremely simple and elegant.

This wooden hairpin was carved by An Qingqian herself. The whole hairpin looks a bit bulky and not as delicate as ordinary hairpins.

Moreover, the carving of the hairpin is very crude, and it is obvious at first glance that the craftsman is not proficient in this craft.

This is the wooden hairpin carved by An Qingqian herself. The reason why the hairpin is so big is because An Qingqian plans to hide something inside it.

An Qingqian poured out four antidote pills from the small porcelain bottle and hid them inside the head of the hairpin. She also hid the dried paper note inside the body of the hairpin.

The next day at noon, after An Qingqian had lunch, he called Yingyi over.

She handed the box in her hand to Yingyi.

"Yingyi, find a way to send this box to Daddy."

"Is there a letter written by the young lady in here?" Yingyi was a little curious.

"Well, I wrote a letter to my father and embroidered two pairs of insoles."

"Miss, are you missing the general?"

Last time, the young lady asked someone to send her hairpin to the general to express her longing for him. Now, she embroidered the insole with her own hands and wrote a letter.

Yingyi thought that the young lady must have suffered a lot of grievances in the Marquis' Mansion during this period, so she missed her family so much.

"I think I haven't seen my father for a long time." An Qingqian twitched the corner of his mouth.

"Miss, when I went to the general's mansion to deliver a letter, I heard from the people in the mansion that the general should be back at the end of the year. Then, Miss will be able to see the general."

Seeing An Qingqian's sad look, Yingyi felt very distressed and hurriedly spoke to comfort her.

"Really? That's good." An Qingqian nodded. Yes, the New Year is coming soon, and as a general, Daddy should return to Beijing.

As the two were talking, Bo Yun walked in.

The usually lively Bo Yun now looked unhappy, as if he had suffered some injustice.

"What's wrong with you? Who made things difficult for you?" An Qingqian put away her thoughts and looked at Boyun with a smile.

Ever since she had a falling out with Zhang and Xue Wanxian last time, no one in the mansion dared to make things difficult for the people in Xiheyuan.

Not to mention the two senior maids, Boyun and Yingyi, even the ordinary maids in the yard were polite to everyone they met.

"No, miss. Just now, a message came from Changshou Hall, saying that you are required to have dinner there tonight." Bo Yun curled his lips, looking a little unhappy.

"Just eat over there, why are you angry?"

Seeing Bo Yun's angry look, An Qingqian covered her mouth and chuckled.

"It's not because of this, but because..." Bo Yun hesitated to speak.

"What's the matter? Just tell me." Bo Yun's evasiveness made the two of them even more curious.

"Just now, I passed by the garden and saw Xue Wanxian and Liu Yiyi. They were walking over there. Humph, what a pair of bastards."

Even though he knew that his young lady didn't like Xue Wanxian, Bo Yun still felt extremely angry when he saw the harmonious and beautiful relationship between Xue Wanxian and Liu Yiyi.

"Don't be angry about this. Liu Yiyi's belly is getting bigger and bigger. I heard that the closer a pregnant woman is to giving birth, the more she should pay attention to exercise. She should walk more every day, which will help with childbirth.

Xue Wanxian didn't have any official business to attend to, so it was only natural for him to accompany Liu Yiyi for a walk. This also shows that he really cares about and loves Liu Yiyi."
