Duan Yun seemed to have no reason to stand here.

Han Qiu, however, looked at his "love rival" out of the corner of his eye.

Jiang Siyu also noticed the subtle atmosphere between the two.

Duan Yun casually found an excuse, "There are still unfinished business in the military camp, so I will take my leave first. I came here only to send my blessings. In addition, my mother will also return home, so I came here to say hello."

"I wish you all the best too." Jiang Siyu responded with a hint of politeness in her tone.

"Then I won't bother you any more."

Duan Yun finished speaking and turned away. The back figure that once gave people a solid support was now shrouded in a faint loneliness. He walked farther and farther away until he blended into the night, looking particularly lonely. Jiang Siyu looked at his departing back and didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Let's go back!"

Han Qiu followed her and listened to her introduction of everything in the mansion.

"So, Qiu, you can come and go freely in the mansion from now on. As the son-in-law of the Jiang family, you can relax. I will take care of all the trivial matters."

However, Han Qiu's mind seemed to be far away, and he seemed to be deaf to her words. "Huh? What did the fourth lady just say?"

"I say, you don't have to call me Fourth Miss, we are husband and wife."

Upon hearing this, Han Qiu lowered his head slightly, feeling mixed emotions.

He knew very well that he had nothing but a sincere heart, but what was the use?

After meeting Duan Yun just now, I felt that I was no match for him in anything.

Han Qiu sighed lightly and said with self-mockery: "I am a weak person, and I am not from a prominent family. Although you say you don't mind, I can't let it go."

Jiang Siyu paused when she heard this. "What are you talking about? Now that you can walk briskly, you will have the opportunity to take the imperial examination. You will surely be able to spread your wings and achieve great success in the future."

Han Qiu smiled bitterly, his self-knowledge was as clear as a mirror hanging high above him: "That is a vision for the future. What kind of promise can I give to the fourth girl now? I have nothing and I feel guilty. If others laugh at you, how will you deal with it?"

Jiang Siyu hesitated for a moment, then responded in her calm tone: "I never care about other people's opinions. We just need to live our lives well, that's enough."

"More importantly, Fourth Miss, are you willing to accept me because we love each other? Or is it because you feel guilty and want to make amends?"

Han Qiu finally couldn't help but pour out the uneasy doubts in his heart.

Jiang Siyu remained silent, because she didn't know what kind of feelings she had.

There was only one thing she was very sure of, and that was that when she saw Han Qiu return safely, her heart was filled with unprecedented joy.

She spoke softly, trying to calm the waves in his heart: "Don't worry too much, how about staying here for a while? If this courtyard doesn't suit you, the Jiang family will find another courtyard for you."

Seeing that she changed the subject, Han Qiu knew what she was thinking.

He forced a smile on his pale face, "Fourth Miss, I think the doubts in my heart have been answered."

Just as the two of them were looking at each other in silence, Jiang Nianwei heard the news and rushed over.

Jiang Siyu pulled her hand over and said, "Sister, you came at the right time. Look, Han Qiu is safe and sound, but his face looks... You must have a way to deal with it, right?"

"Well, let me see."

Jiang Nianwei asked Han Qiu to turn around and checked the wound on his face.

This wound has been there for some time and has not been properly treated or treated with medicine. However, with the use of modern medicines, it is definitely possible for it to get better.

Han Qiu said in self-abandonment: "I'm afraid it's fate that cannot be defied. This injury is irreparable. You should just let me fend for myself!"

Jiang Nianwei shook her head. "I have a way, but it will take some time."

Jiang Siyu's eyes sparkled with surprise, and she kept saying, "That's great, sister! Please help him!"

"I will be heading to Mount Wutai in a few days, so I won't be in the capital anymore. However, I will prepare the prescription as soon as possible and teach you how to use it correctly. Siyu, you must remember to apply the medicine on time every day. Don't be negligent."

"nature."

"Then I'll go get ready."

Jiang Nianwei returned to her own yard, where she had specially set up a pharmacy for the convenience of getting medicine.

He closed the door and told the maid to stand at the door and not let anyone in.

In fact, he entered a space and used Centella asiatica to reduce swelling, Astragalus, Lithospermum officinale, Taraxacum officinale and Angelica dahurica to remove scars, and added some spiritual spring water to prepare a plaster.

Then use the current scar removal gel and apply it on your face every day.

Looking at the scars on Han Qiu's face, they were not severe enough to require laser treatment; it was just that they were not treated properly at the beginning.

It takes more than half a year of careful maintenance to see results.

However, she had to go out now, so she could only call Taozhi and a few maids to help.

After Taozhi got married, her face became visibly rosier and her complexion improved a lot.

Although she is married, Jiang Nianwei still keeps her by her side. But if she really wants to go to Mount Wutai, she is afraid that she will not be able to take Taozhi with her.

There is strength in numbers. In just two days, everyone prepared enough for Han Qiu to use for half a year.

Jiang Nianwei brought the medicine and carefully explained to Jiang Siyu how to use it.

"Look at the hideous scars on his face. In fact, it's because the wounds were not treated with antibiotics at the beginning. Take these anti-inflammatory drugs for seven days, and then apply herbs on your face. Do this for half a year. I'll show you how to do it."

"Half a year? So long?"

“Half a year is considered short.”

"But as long as it's useful, it's worth it no matter how many years it takes."

Jiang Nianwei smeared the herbs on Han Qiu's face, "Take it off after half a minute, and then apply this gel on your face."

Han Qiu felt a chill on his face, but he did have a comfortable feeling.

"How is it? Have you learned it?"

Jiang Siyu wrote down every step, "I've got it. Thank you, sister!"

"You're welcome. You and I are sisters. This is nothing."

She then looked at Han Qiu and said, "I know you must have many concerns in your heart, but please believe me, just stay here for now. When the scars on your face are completely healed, we can discuss other things. There is still a long way to go in the future, so you can take your time with this matter, okay?"

Han Qiu felt that Miss Jiang San was very magical, and listening to her speak made him feel at ease.

He nodded and agreed, "Thank you, Third Miss."

Afterwards, Jiang Nianwei waved her hand gently and called her sister Siyu aside.

"Siyu, what do you think now?"

Jiang Siyu showed a trace of confusion on her face: "Sister, I don't know either."

"In that case, you should think about it slowly and carefully, but don't delay the palace examination."

"I naturally understand this principle."

“Love is something that cannot be forced. If you are wandering in the fog of emotions, you might as well calm down and listen to the voice deep in your heart. It will guide you.”

"Siyu will remember Sister's teachings in her heart."

Jiang Nianwei was still worried about what would happen after she left. "Siyu, when I'm not here, please take care of our parents. My elder brother and second brother are in the military camp and don't come home often. I can only rely on you."

"Of course, but sister, you were gone for more than a month and came back so quickly. You really were worrying too much."

"Indeed."

She touched her sister's hair as she did before.

After they separated, Jiang Nianwei suddenly felt dizzy, probably because she had been preparing medical plasters for the past two days.

She should have a good rest. Someone might have been secretly planning that matter.

Han Hanqiu temporarily lived in the Jiang Mansion, but he still moved to a new courtyard.

While recuperating, he also studied, hoping to have the opportunity to take part in the next imperial examination.

Duan Yun climbed over the wall when he was reading in the yard.

"How did you climb over the wall?" Han Qiu was very surprised.

Duan Yun sighed, "I want to talk to you alone, this is the only way."

Han Qiu was no longer as fearful as before. "Indeed, there are many misunderstandings and unfinished business between you and me. We should find a chance to have a good chat."

He poured a cup of tea and placed it in front of Duan Yun.

Deep down, he couldn't help but feel a little envious.

Duan Yun has a strong body, handsome face, and a smooth career. If he can spend the rest of his life with Siyu, how happy she would be? This thought lingered in his mind, with a hint of bitterness that was not easily detected.

"Han Qiu," Duan Yun mustered up the courage to say the next words after countless mental struggles, "Siyu's heart has chosen you. From now on, she is your responsibility."

Upon hearing this, Han Qiu gently stroked the teacup in his hand. The warm tea slid down his throat, leaving an indescribable taste.

He smiled slightly, with a hint of self-mockery in his smile: "It's too early to say anything about this. She may just feel more guilty towards me. I can clearly feel that you still have a place in her heart."

A look of doubt flashed across Duan Yun's face, and he asked softly, "Are you serious?"

"Of course I am serious. I want to compete with you fairly and don't want to take advantage of you. Therefore, you still have a chance. As for who Siyu will fall in love with in the end, it depends on our respective abilities."

Duan Yun's eyes flashed with surprise, and he quickly thanked him: "Thank you, Brother Han!"

"You and I are not brothers, it's just that I care about Siyu and don't want her to have any regrets in the future." Han Qiu said lightly.

Although he had a vague premonition that he might eventually regret it, he did not want to let regrets bind her life.

Duan Yun chuckled and shook his head, "Okay, then we'll each rely on our own abilities."

……

Today is Lianxue’s wedding day. No, now she should be called Nan Rongfei. Her full name has been changed to Nan Rongfei.

"Fei" means jadeite, which implies that it is as precious as jadeite and is regarded as an irreplaceable treasure in the family.

The marriage between the Marquis's Mansion and the Duke's Mansion became a hot topic of discussion on the streets.

Jiang Nianwei didn't have to worry about all these tedious and festive preparations.

The two major families are busy preparing for this grand feast.

She just attended their wedding as a guest.

As a bystander, she witnessed everything from the two people's acquaintance to their understanding and love.

After the ceremony, she did not stop for a moment and started packing her luggage. She knew in her heart that she must bring one or two maids with her to avoid attracting attention and arousing groundless suspicion.

Just at this moment, Baili Zhao arrived, exhausted, just to say goodbye to her in a hurry.

Jiang Nianwei knew very well that he was in the palace and was busy with government affairs. It was rare for him to take time out of his busy schedule to come.

"When Sanniang returns, I will announce it to the whole world and enthrone you as queen." His words were sincere and full of affection.

Recently he has been busy establishing diplomatic relations with foreign countries and has not paid attention to the undercurrents around him.

"Yes, Sanniang is also full of expectations." She responded softly, her face calm, but her heart was already filled with mixed feelings and unbearable torment.

"Oh, Ah Zhao, I'll leave these medicines for you in case you need them." Jiang Nianwei raised her head slightly and instructed the figure hidden among the treetops, "Zheng Changkong, if your master shows any signs of fatigue and can't hold on, you should give him this medicine at the right time."

"I... obey your command." A low and respectful voice floated in the wind among the swaying shadows of the trees.

He knew clearly in his mind that once Jiang Nianwei stepped out of this place, she would be on a path of no return.

The Wu family had already heard the news that Jiang Nianwei was about to go to Mount Wutai to pray for blessings.

It is not easy to take action in the capital, but as long as they leave the capital, the people in the Wu Mansion will have plenty of opportunities.

"You'll be back soon, what do I need these medicines for?"

"You think I don't know your temper? Staying up all day is bad for your health."

"Only Sanniang cares about my health. Those old guys urge me all day long, as if they wish I had three heads." Baili Zhao couldn't help but start complaining.

This is completely different from when he was Prince Yu.

But he wanted to make everything better, wanted to give Sanniang a prosperous age, wanted her to see the scene of peace and prosperity in the country.

Jiang Nianwei knew that all the secret reports that Baili Zhao knew had to go through Zheng Changkong.

As long as he didn't say it, Baili Zhao wouldn't know the clues.

She took a deep breath and let Baili Zhao get into the carriage.

Baili Zhao jumped off the horse and got on the carriage as he was told. Jiang Nianwei only lightly kissed his lips.

She whispered in his ear, "Wait for me to come back."

Baili Zhao's ears turned red, and he touched his nose in embarrassment, "That's inevitable."

But strangely, he didn't smell any familiar scent on Jiang Nianwei.

That was the smell that had lingered in his nose since the first time they met. Later he found out that it was the sachet she always carried with her.

But without giving it much thought, he just whispered, "Have a safe journey, I've sent guards to escort you there."

"Well, thank you, Zhao."

The carriage began to move, and Baili Zhao could only wave his hand reluctantly.

For some reason, he felt an inexplicable throbbing in his heart and a pain in his chest.

After the carriage was out of sight, he told Zheng Changkong, "Send some people to stay with her and protect her. Don't let her find out."

"As ordered."

Zheng Changkong was also in great pain, but for the sake of Dasheng, he had to endure it.

……

In fact, Wu Fangzhi had already known her grandfather's secret plan. As long as Jiang Nianwei died, she would be sure to ascend to the throne.

She was just a married woman, and no one knew what Baili Zhao was thinking, he actually wanted to make her the queen.

As soon as Jiang Nianwei left the capital, she started celebrating in advance.
