Back to the day I married my second wife, I turned around and married my ex-husband's uncle

Qin Shuangchi also looked around and said, "No."

"Maybe I'm too tired lately? I'm feeling uneasy in a strange place."

Jiang Ningwan nodded thoughtfully, "It's possible."

She withdrew her gaze and continued strolling with Qin Shuangchi.

"The people here seem very happy to see you. They must love you very much."

"The North should be like a solid wall, right?"

She turned to look at him in confusion.

Qin Shuangchi nodded thoughtfully, "Forget it."

"The Emperor had planted quite a few spies in the area before, but my disappearance in Dayan this time gave Commander Ren the perfect opportunity to pull out the remaining spies."

"The Northland is now completely under my control."

After hearing this explanation, Jiang Ningwan thought that when Jinlan and the others were suffering here, Qin Shuangchi should not have been able to save them, after all, he had the emperor's spies.

Thinking of this, she felt a little relieved.

It’s just a pity that if they could have held on for a while, perhaps the family could be reunited now.

Just as she was thinking, she suddenly felt someone staring at her from behind.

She turned around immediately.

But still found nothing.

"What's wrong?" Qin Shuangchi looked at her with concern. "Are you feeling unwell?"

Jiang Ningwan shook her head. "You really don't feel like someone is watching us from behind?"

"No."

After Qin Shuangchi finished speaking, he immediately called out, "Xiao Lan!"

Xiao Lan immediately jumped down from the roof nearby, "Your Majesty!"

"Take your men and check if someone is following us."

Xiao Lan immediately accepted the order, "Yes!"

Then Xiao Lan brought some guards to check the streets and nearby shops. Jiang Ningwan stood there and waited for a while, and soon Xiao Lan came back.

"Your Majesty, there are no suspicious people following us!"

Hearing this, Jiang Ningwan began to wonder if she was really too tired.

Qin Shuangchi looked at her worriedly, "How about this, have a good rest today, and then we can go out tomorrow?"

"Alright."

So Jiang Ningwan returned to the Prince of Chu's Mansion first.

Have a good rest.

The Prince of Chu's Palace alone was enough for her to visit.

After dinner, Jiang Ningwan went to bed early.

Qin Shuangchi sat beside the bed, interlocking his fingers with hers. "You should rest first. I have to go check on the progress of the gold smelting."

"Want me to come with you?"

Qin Shuangchi smiled and said, "No need. You are not afraid of the dark alone, are you?"

Jiang Ningwan answered firmly: "How is that possible!"

"I'm afraid you'll be lonely!"

"Go ahead, I'm going to sleep."

Having said that, she immediately lay down and covered herself with the quilt.

Qin Shuangchi leaned over and kissed her forehead, "I'll be back soon."

"it is good."

Qin Shuangchi extinguished the candle and left the room.

When his footsteps disappeared, the surroundings suddenly became extremely quiet.

Soon, sleepiness came over her and Jiang Ningwan fell into a deep sleep.

After an unknown amount of time, a figure appeared outside the door, stood there for a long time, and then slowly pushed the door open.

Jiang Ningwan felt someone coming to her bedside in her sleep, and a hand gently stroked her cheek.

Very light and gentle.

She was even a little greedy.

The bedside felt a little dented.

I don’t know how long that person sat by the bed, and he even held her hand.

……

The sunlight shone through the window, and Jiang Ningwan slowly woke up.

When I opened my eyes, I found myself in an embrace. The sunlight shone on Qin Shuangchi's face, and his straight nose and wing-like eyelashes were clearly visible.

Jiang Ningwan turned over and snuggled into his arms, being held even tighter.

A deep voice sounded above her head: "Awake?"

"No."

Qin Shuangchi chuckled, "Okay, then sleep a little longer."

Jiang Ningwan suddenly thought of last night, raised her head and asked, "When did you come back last night?"

"Did you sit by the bed for long?"

She didn't know whether it was real or a dream, because she felt that the man was not hostile.

If it really happened, then it could only be Qin Shuangchi.

Qin Shuangchi was slightly startled, and smiled as he brushed her hair. "You looked so soundly asleep, did you still feel it?"

"I came back and read the secret letter. I sat there for a long time."

After confirming that it was him, Jiang Ningwan no longer had any doubts.

"Of course, I'm very alert when I sleep."

The two of them lay in bed for a while, watching the sunlight outside getting brighter and brighter, before Jiang Ningwan reluctantly got up.

After washing up, we had breakfast together.

The two of them went out again.

I didn’t finish shopping yesterday, so I’ll continue today.

She didn't feel like anyone was staring at her today. It seemed like she was too tired yesterday.

Yan Huixue and others who came with her were also visiting the North for the first time. Jiang Ningwan distributed reward money to them and gave them a day off so they could have fun.

Just as Jiang Ningwan was buying snacks at a street stall, a figure in white clothes and a white flower in her hair suddenly appeared in front of her.

She stared at Qin Shuangchi with tearful eyes and called out with a choked voice: "Prince..."

Jiang Ningwan only looked carefully when she heard the voice.

I couldn't help being surprised.

"Zhou Tingxu?"

Jiang Ningwan suddenly remembered that Zhou Tingxu had followed the King of Chu to the north not long after he came.

I almost forgot Zhou Tingxu is here too.

Look at Zhou Tingxu's hair tied up in a bun now, the bun she wears when she gets married. She also wears a white flower in her hair and wears all white.

Looking at Qin Shuangchi's tearful eyes, they were full of joy.

"Your Majesty, they said you came back alive, but I still don't believe it...you are really alive!"

Zhou Tingxu was extremely excited and threw himself into Qin Shuangchi's arms.

Qin Shuangchi's eyebrows jumped, and he immediately pulled Jiang Ningwan away.

Zhou Tingxu missed and fell to the ground.

She raised her head in shock, tears streaming down her face, "Prince... don't you recognize me?"

Qin Shuangchi was speechless. "How could this king not recognize you, Zhou Tingxu? You've been making trouble in the North for so long, haven't you had enough?"

Zhou Tingxu wept bitterly, feeling a pang of sadness in his heart. "In the eyes of the prince, I'm so disgusting to him."

"Since the news came back that the prince had an accident in Dayan, I have been keeping vigil for him day and night for several months. It turns out that it was all just wishful thinking on my part."

"I thought the prince would be happy to see me."

"During this period of time, I have already regarded the prince as my husband..."

Jiang Ningwan's scalp tingled when she heard this. It turned out that she was dressed like this because she was keeping vigil for Qin Shuangchi.

Qin Shuangchi frowned and subconsciously looked at Jiang Ningwan. Seeing that she looked unhappy, he was afraid that she would misunderstand and was about to explain.

But then he heard Jiang Ningwan angrily say, "Zhou Tingxu, can you please stop being so shameless?"

"You were the one who harassed the prince, chasing him all the way to the north. When the prince's life and death were unknown, the Chu Palace didn't even hold a funeral. And you actually dressed like this to keep vigil for the prince? He's still alive and well, and you're just cursing him to death!"

"What's wrong with you?"

Jiang Ningwan was furious. She had never seen such a shameless person.

At this moment, many onlookers have gathered around, watching the excitement.

Zhou Tingxu did not argue, but just cried sadly, "No matter what the prince thinks of me, I, Zhou Tingxu, will be the prince's person in life and the prince's ghost in death!"

"The prince despises me and refuses to acknowledge me, so I might as well die!"

As he said this, he was about to pull out his hairpin and commit suicide.
