After rebirth, the Prime Minister's wife always wanted to leave her father behind and keep her

"will not."

Cheng Songan answered straightforwardly without any hesitation. No matter in the past life or this life, Lu Qingshan was just a childhood playmate to her. She couldn't even have the same feeling towards him as she did towards Ming Zhan, who she might like in the future.

She couldn't lie to him.

Lu Qingshan fell back in his chair. He actually knew the answer a long time ago, but he still asked it without giving up. It was better to ask it now. He could give up now.

He sat there in a daze for a while, and when he stood up again, his face had returned to normal, and he even said with a decent smile: "Cheng Shimei, I'm going back first."

"Lu Qingshan," Cheng Songan called him before he left, "Prince Jin's place is not a good place to stay."

Lu Qingshan paused. He had already turned around. I couldn't see the expression on his face. From his tone, I could hear a chill in his voice: "Is it because of Cui Yuanqing?"

From the very beginning, she kept reminding him not to get too close to Prince Jin. He didn't care at first, but now he sees the situation clearly. Cui Yuanqing stands on the side of Prince Shou and Prince Xiang, and is on the opposite side of Prince Jin. She knew it from the beginning and didn't want him to be an enemy of Cui Yuanqing.

Cheng Songan found that she had made a big mistake. She thought she was reminding Lu Qingshan to go to the open, which would be the same as reminding Ming Zhan to beware of Hu Ai and not cross the Black Water River, but it had the opposite effect. She even found that Lu Qingshan was going in the opposite direction.

"I didn't return to Cui Yuanqing, not for him." Cheng Songan calmly explained, without any intention of explaining, "Prince Jin is not a wise leader. Isn't it your lifelong wish to recover the five towns? Let's go, don't stay here."

Lu Qingshan smiled softly: "Once you enter the court, there are fights everywhere. Staying away from the capital does not mean you can stay away from party struggles."

Cheng Songan sighed: "Why does it have to be Prince Jin?"

Lu Qingshan turned around, as if he had never known her before, stared into her eyes for a while, and then said: "You have changed a lot."

He didn't say what had changed about her, whether she had become better or worse, but Cheng Songan knew that it was not for the better, or rather, she had become a stranger.

He did not explain why it was Prince Jin, nor did he promise her not to submit to Prince Jin.

Cheng Songan knew that it would be difficult for him to change his decision with such light words, but he still gave a final reminder: "If you insist on staying with Prince Jin, I will give you five words: obey orders but not announcements."

Lu Qingshan had already walked out of the door, but he couldn't help but stop for a moment. He would obey orders but not instructions? Did they want him to be Erlang Shen? Erlang Shen could obey orders but not instructions from the Jade Emperor, but if he, as a minister, wanted to do so, he would have to stay away from the capital and command his own troops, which would be a taboo in the imperial family.

The Daqian Dynasty was founded from the separatist regimes of the feudal states and their own kings. What the saints of several generations feared most was that the military generals would go back to their old ways, so they imposed many restrictions on the generals on the borders, and they were not even allowed to marry freely.

No matter how lawless Cheng Songan was when he was young, it is not right to advise him like this, unless things really change in a few years.

Lu Qingshan was shocked by this sudden idea. Although the current emperor is not young, he is not yet sixty years old. He had fought in the battlefield when he was young and was in good health, so he had not appointed a crown prince yet.

How could Cheng Songan know when the throne would change?

He was a little confused, so he looked back to make sure she wasn't joking with him. After a long while, he frowned and asked, "Anything else?"

Now that he was gone, he would have no more reason to visit her.

Cheng Songan breathed a sigh of relief. His question meant that he would consider it. He was about to say no, but out of the corner of his eye he saw a shadow on the ground of the moon gate, cast by the rising sun. The shadow was sticking to the wall, with his head slightly tilted downwards, and he was as thin as a fine brush painting.

She then said, "Lu Qingshan, besides birth, aging, sickness and death, the most painful thing is not getting what you want. Maybe you don't know that you are also someone that others cannot get. If you ever suffer a setback and lose all hope, please remember that someone has prayed to the gods thousands of times, wishing you peace and happiness. Please take care of yourself for this unknown deep love."

Lu Qingshan has been liked since he was a child. He had incurred countless lovesicknesses when he was in Yizhou. He was not surprised that someone liked him, but he was still moved by Cheng Songan's words. He nodded slightly and said, "You too."

Cheng Songan smiled. She had experienced the darkest moment and had died once out of despair. In this life, she just wanted to live a good life.

After seeing Lu Qingshan off, Cheng Songan walked towards her mountain home alone. Haitang took her cloak and stood in the wind waiting for her. When she saw her come back, she smiled and said, "You're finally back."

Cheng Songan held her hand. She couldn't get Lu Qingshan to respond for her, but she could convey to him one ten-thousandth of the surging love beneath her calm appearance.

Haitang understood things earlier than herself, and she must have seen Lu Qingshan's feelings for her a long time ago. She loved Cheng Songan and also loved Lu Qingshan, so she poured double the love she had for Lu Qingshan into her, and protected and cared for her with her body and mind for two lifetimes until her death.

"How is the boy?" Cheng Songan asked as they walked, "Is the wet nurse still attentive?"

Haitang didn't like Xue Tingrong, but she wasn't annoyed with this child. Perhaps because she was a baby, she liked Yong Ge'er more than in her previous life. She smiled and said, "He can eat, sleep and poop, so it's less of a worry."

Cheng Songan briefly told her about Xue Tingrong's identity.

Haitang was so shocked that she opened her mouth wide. After a long while, she said, "So, our second daughter is still in her hands?"

Cheng Songan nodded helplessly, and the two walked all the way to the mountain retreat. Qiangwei and Taxue also followed them out, answering her on the left and right.

Qiangwei: "The master is in a bad condition. He fainted just after entering the door. Someone has been sent for a doctor."

Taxue: "The Second Miss's people have added more people to the courtyard outside Baoguo Temple. Our people went in and found nothing."

Cheng Songan stopped in the yard. Two things were more troublesome than the other.

The two exchanged glances and continued.

Qiangwei: "There are masters in Baoguo Temple that we can use. They are more convenient than secret agents."

Taxue: "My Lord cannot die in our village."

They both believed that the most urgent matter was Cui Yuanqing.

Cheng Songan hesitated: "How about we send a letter saying that Lord Cui is seriously ill and we dare not delay, and ask the Cui Mansion to send someone to take him back?"

Taxue and Qiangwei looked at each other again and both shook their heads: "The Seventh Princess will be here in half an hour."

Cheng Songan felt his head hurt even more. How could he have forgotten about this? The Seventh Princess was going to come to the villa to listen to books. If Cui Yuanqing went back to Cui Mansion, the Seventh Princess would lose her title of supervisor and would have to go back to the palace to listen to her teachings. She had always wanted to go out of the palace to play, so how could she give up this opportunity?
