Behind the two men, Qin Hanlin looked at them and clenched the silk handkerchief in his hand.

Mo Er supported her and said excitedly: "Miss, that woman was imprisoned in Ju'an Temple, aren't you happy?"

Qin Hanlin said: "I'm glad that with Miss Xia here, she can't turn over. I finally don't have to be forced by her to marry someone I don't love."

Mo Er said, "Miss, let's go out for a walk this afternoon instead of lying in bed."

Qin Hanlin smiled at her, held her hand, and said, "Okay. Let's go out for a walk."

The joy in her heart was real. After her second uncle died, she almost no longer had such a feeling.

It was definitely Xia Nian's idea that Xiahou Jing was imprisoned in Ju'an Temple. She suddenly admired Xia Nian very much. She seemed to be always so calm and could come up with such a plan. Although it was for them, it also indirectly helped her.

She also envied her in her heart. She was the best in both appearance and intelligence, and she had Xiahou Yu's support behind her.

Thinking back, she had thought of using her to let Xiahou Yu take action against Xiahou Jing. Now it seems that she was overestimating her own abilities.

-

Xiahou Yu's men were extremely efficient. When they came back from burning incense, Xiahou Jing had already been taken away.

For this reason, there were more people on duty outside Ju'an Temple, especially Guan Xiahou Jing's yard, where there were people guarding it morning and night.

The two returned to Zhan Yue Hall, where Fu Nian was complaining to Tang Rui.

"Sister Rui, you didn't see Xiahou Jing's look. I was scared." Fu Nian said aggrievedly, and Tang Rui tried to comfort him by holding back his laughter.

Xia Nian stepped forward and said, "Don't feel wronged. I'll give you the processing fee, okay?"

Fu Nian's eyes lit up instantly. He first bowed and then took a few steps forward.

"Thank you, ma'am! I knew you loved me the most."

"Get out of the way!" Xiahou Yu grabbed the back of his collar and threw him to the side.

Xia Nian sat down on the chair and said, "Actually, she can still break this plan. For example, she can recognize that the person with me by the lake is Xia Houyu."

Xiahou Yu said: "What a pity, she is still as brainless and daring as before."

After saying that, he looked at Fu Nian and Tang Rui who were rubbing their faces and said, "You have made great contributions this time. Go down and claim your rewards later."

Xia Nian felt much better when she saw how happy the two were.

Fu Nian made the greatest sacrifice and had to face Xiahou Jing in person, which was a great test of his acting skills and mentality. Xia Nian felt that he would be a good actor in modern times.

Tang Rui was responsible for disguising himself as Xia Nian and Fu Nian as Xia Houyu the day before, and the two were in Zhan Yue Tang. This was to ensure that there would be no mistakes, so that even if Xia Hou Jing really found someone from Zhan Yue Tang, there would be no need to worry about inconsistent testimonies.

After dinner, Xia Nian lay down on the bed comfortably and closed her eyes slightly.

Xiahou Yu sat down beside her waist and bent down to kiss her forehead.

"Ah Nian, are you tired?"

Xia Nian nodded and said, "A little bit. Xiahou Jing is imprisoned. You can look for the jade slip with peace of mind."

Xiahou Yu said distressedly: "Anian, you have worked hard. Xiahou Jing has some forces behind her. I will deal with them all after I get the jade slip."

Xia Nian said: "Okay, as a cabinet official, it's hard to arrest someone without evidence. When the time comes, find something to hold against her, and then take action to eliminate the trouble forever."

Xiahou Yu smiled and said, "Anian, how about washing up before going to bed?"

"Okay." Xia Nian stretched out her hand and let him pull her up. "I don't know which dog did this yesterday. My waist still hurts now. You! Help me sleep."

Xiahou Yu picked her up and walked around the room several times: "Okay, let's take a bath together."

Xia Nian's eyes widened, and he clenched his fists and punched his shoulders.

"Wait! I didn't say wash together!"

"Yes, don't regret it, An Nian."

…After a series of actions in the water, Xia Nian was pinched by his waist and pressed against the wall, crying: "Xia Houyu, you are shameless!"

Xiahou Yu blinked: "Anian, wasn't it obvious before?"

Xia Nian bit her lip and glared at him fiercely, but was forced by his actions to grab his back hard.

-

Late at night, a drizzle started to fall outside and the rain gradually got heavier.

Xia Nian felt as if he was floating in the air, and could clearly hear the sound of raindrops hitting the ground.

Everything in front of her was blurry, and finally she saw a little light, and she saw a scarlet rose.

"Red, A Zheng's favorite color." Xia Nian thought.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the lonely rose was bent down and was about to fall in the darkness.

Xia Nian frowned and tried to control his body to protect it from the rain.

The slender fingertips were about to touch the petals, but the next second, an icicle suddenly fell and smashed the flower to pieces.

"What's going on?" Xia Nian knelt on the ground. The petals of the rose gradually turned into light pink and slowly floated up, as if gathering into a human figure.

She stretched out her hand to touch it, and the icicles on the ground suddenly flew up, dispersing the red light powder that was about to gather.

Xia Nian was startled. She turned and saw the flower branch on the ground. An inexplicable sadness forced her to pick up the branch.

The rain hit her and she felt very cold.

With a ticking sound, she clearly saw her tears falling onto the branches.

"Why do I want to cry?" Xia Nian was puzzled, and an indescribable sadness spread in her heart. Just when she felt that she was about to burst into tears, a scarlet ribbon suddenly floated behind her.

The belt passed through her body, swaying in the wind, moving further and further away from her.

"No... where are you going?" Xia Nian shouted, and suddenly realized that he had not made any sound.

Her instinct told her to stand up and chase after him. She ran a few steps and then fell to the ground. She didn't feel any pain, but she felt uncomfortable.

How to describe this sadness? She seemed to be losing something.

"No...no...no!!!" Xia Nian tried to shout out, and suddenly she heard a voice calling her name in her ears.

"A-Nian, A-Nian..."

Xia Nian suddenly opened her eyes and saw Xia Houyu's enlarged, worried face.

"Xiahou...Yu?" She spoke uncertainly, the sadness still in her heart. She sat up, gasping for breath.

Xia Houyu hurriedly touched her back with his hand: "Anian, what's wrong? Did you have a nightmare? You suddenly screamed just now."

Xia Nian looked at him blankly. Was she having a nightmare? But the feeling just now was too real, so real that she thought it was reality.

The sound of clattering on the windowsill reached her ears. She wiped the tears from her face and asked, "What time is it now?"

"It's Chou hour. Anian, are you too tired or feeling uncomfortable somewhere?" Xiahou Yu asked.

Xia Nian shook his head and slowly lay down: "No..."

She suddenly remembered something and asked, "Does Pei Xuanxi and the others have any news? Have they found the jade slip?"

Xiahou Yu came in and held her in his arms, saying, "No, I will go get the jade slip tomorrow and ask them when I come back."

Xia Nian nodded: "Okay."

Xiahou Yu said: "I will leave Qi Sheng here to protect you closely, don't be afraid."

Xia Nian closed his eyes and said, "I'm not afraid."

So sad, the scarlet ribbon kept falling in her mind.
