Outside the window, the moon quietly shuttled through the clouds, and the wind blew through the plum blossoms. It was past midnight, but the lights in the prince's mansion were still bright.

"Sir, something terrible has happened!" The shopkeeper held up his clothes and ran all the way.

Xuanyuan Yuqing, who was drinking and enjoying music with his relatives and friends, became drunk unknowingly.

The shopkeeper came running over and whispered in her ear: "The eldest lady of the Qi family is going to Boyang Village!"

"Where is she going and what is she doing?!" Xuanyuan Yuqing sobered up all of a sudden.

The shopkeeper wanted to cry but had no tears. "I just said that her boss married someone else in Boyan Village, and she immediately ran over in a hurry. I couldn't stop her!"

"Qi Siliao became someone else's husband in Boyang Village?" Xuanyuan Yuqing was no less surprised than Hu Luanfei, and he didn't even understand what was going on.

A few months ago, Qi Si Liao's men came to inform him that the business would be suspended for a while, and cooperation would resume after their affairs were resolved. He thought that they had to rush back to the capital city due to an emergency. Could it be that Qi Si Liao wanted to take a concubine, but Hu Luan Fei refused to give her one?

His face turned serious, and the singers and dancers stopped all their movements immediately, and no one dared to speak.

Xuanyuan Yuqing frowned and held the wine glass tightly. "Even if it's me, I may not be able to pass through the obstacles and enter the village smoothly." Suddenly, he was a little puzzled. "How did you know that Qi Siliao was in Boyang Village?"

"What a coincidence. I went to buy medicinal herbs that day and met people from Boyang Village on the way to the market. I saw a familiar person in the crowd. Just as I was wondering who he was, the woman next to him called him husband. I was suspicious in the beginning, and when I met the wife of the Qi family today, I remembered that the guy was Qi Siriao, so I couldn't help but say a few more words. Who would have thought..."

The shopkeeper blamed himself again.

Xuanyuan Yuqing comforted him: "It's not your fault."

"If something happens to the Qi family's wife on the way to Boyang Village, then... who is responsible?"

Xuanyuan Yuqing pondered for a moment, "If it's just her own bad luck, it's fine, but if there's a conflict with the villagers, whoever starts it will be in trouble. I naturally don't have to bear this responsibility."

"But she is our business partner..."

Xuanyuan Yuqing drank a glass of wine and said, "I will pretend that I have never heard these words. You should keep your mouth shut."

Boyan Village is a dreaded village in Beiqiu, known as the "barbaric tribe."

The villagers living there never come into contact with other people and are self-sufficient in what they need. Occasionally, they will go out to collect things that are not available in the village.

Even if you say they are weird, they are still human beings.

It’s not strange, but it’s mysterious.

The roads leading to the village are well connected, but with so many people around, no one can reach the village entrance smoothly.

The survivors said that it was as horrible as hell inside. The whole village was surrounded by trees. People outside could not see inside and people inside could not see outside. It was just such a small village. Even a hundred thousand troops could not break through. They would either get lost, fall into traps, be eaten by poisonous snakes and beasts, or starve to death.

Those who managed to get out alive were reluctant to mention that village.

It's not that he doesn't want to take care of this matter, but he can't. Although Boyang Village is on the territory of Beiqiu, it is not subject to anyone's control. Once, the emperor suffered a loss from Boyang Village and was forced to sign an unequal treaty. As for what kind of treaty it was, the emperor didn't want to mention it. When it was mentioned, he felt particularly humiliated.

On the second day, Hu Luanfei, who had not slept all night, came to Baishan Hall early with dark circles under his eyes.

She took Jiang Shi and Jiang Ling to Boyang Village last night. Before they set foot into the village and reached the intersection in front of the woods, sharp arrows flew out. Because of her, Jiang Ling and Jiang Shi were injured to varying degrees.

There was no choice but to go back home.

I returned home and tossed and turned in bed, my mind full of what the shopkeeper said, that Qi Siliao had become someone else's husband in Boyang Village.

She couldn't understand, she absolutely couldn't understand, since she was still alive, why didn't she go home?

Hu Luanfei sat on the doorstep with her chin supported by her hands. When the shopkeeper opened the door, he was almost scared to death.

"Madam Qi, you..."

"Don't worry about me, just do your job."

The shopkeeper asked, "Did you go to Boyang Village last night?"

"Ah."

Seeing that the man was safe and sound, the shopkeeper patted his chest and said, "I told you he would come today. Why were you so anxious? You made me sleepless all night."

"I'm sorry to have caused you worry."

The shopkeeper shook his head, not knowing what the couple's current situation was. He did not ask any more questions and just went about his work silently.

Hu Luanfei knew he would come, and the wait became unbearable.

She looked around and saw a tall man coming up the embankment beside the road, with willows shrouded in mist.

He had a tall and handsome figure, with expressive features, but he had a rare foreign hairstyle.

He walked slowly towards Baishan Hall, carrying a wild wolf and a few live pheasants hanging on his shoulders, and a bow and arrow casually hooked on the other shoulder.

Suddenly, his heroic appearance gradually became clearer. He didn't bother to think about whether others were shaking their heads in frustration, and just ran forward recklessly, following his charming heroic appearance.

The man stopped and his attitude was cold, just like the chilly winter, chilling her heart and bones, making the deeply affectionate person hesitate. Like a stranger, he just glanced at her and passed by.

The endless years pass by like the wind, only the pain of missing you remains as vivid as ever.

Why didn't he feel the same excitement and joy of the reunion as she did?

Even though he was several feet away, his familiar face and figure still made her feel dizzy.

Maybe she had been through so much recently and her appearance had changed so much that it was normal for him not to recognize her. Or maybe he was just joking with her and would tease her like he did before in a few moments.

The man bargained with the shopkeeper, but because Hu Luanfei was present, the shopkeeper agreed to such a high price for her sake.

The shopkeeper even joked, "Even the way of bargaining is exactly the same, they are worthy of being husband and wife." As they were bargaining, she suddenly realized something was wrong and looked at the man again. He didn't even look at the woman next to him, as if the woman didn't exist and didn't even glance at her.

"This...are you two really having a fight?" The shopkeeper actually didn't know that Qi Siriao had been missing for several months.

Hu Luanfei held her mouth tightly, tears welling up in her eyes. She followed Qi Siliao wherever he went. She would not stop until he stopped and was willing to look at her.

While no one was paying attention, she stepped forward, gently pulled his sleeve, and whispered, "Go home."

Just as I was about to pull him away, he, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up, "You got the wrong person."

At this moment, her world fell apart.

"Your Highness..." She said with a tearful tone, "I am Hu Luanfei, don't you remember me?"

He looked at her more strangely than at a stranger, without a trace of emotion in his eyes.
