Stay alive

After sending Shen Tuxuan back, Lin Qiannan rode his horse and rode out of the city in the slightly drunk night. After galloping to the grassland, he found a bush to stop, and lay down lightly on it.

With the music of crickets in his ears and the bright moonlight in the sky, he can only fall asleep in this kind of empty environment.

Lin Qiannan formed a circle with his fingers, and looked at the moon in the sky from this circle, as if the moon was that big. He smiled and spread his hands on the grassland.

It is said that facing the moon causes melancholy, but he is like a scarecrow, no matter how many bright moons he sees, his heart is empty and uncomfortable, as if something is missing.

He couldn't remember, he didn't even know if he was Lin Qiannan, only the vague memory of Lin Qiannan in his head reminded him who he was.

Not long after, he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Shen Tuxuan, who was drunk beside Lin Qiannan, regained his sobriety after returning to the dormitory. After Lin Qiannan left, he got up and wrote a secret note, which he entrusted to the pigeon to send to the far north.

Shen Tuxuan almost crushed the window lattice, "Don't lie to him."

The next day, Zhao Huanya, who knew about Zhao Zhangrui's condition, asked Shen Tuxuan for orders without crying.

Shen Tuxuan personally helped her up, "Ya'er, you can set off back to Yu Kingdom at any time, and Qiannan will escort you all the way."

Zhao Huanya usually loved the bright red grassland daughter's attire, but today she changed into the virtuous Central Plains clothes. She lowered her head and said, "Your Majesty, Ya'er doesn't want Brother Qiannan to escort me."

"Why?"

Zhao Huanya whispered: "Brother Qiannan has returned to Yu Country, that person will definitely know about it, if he knows, it may cause a lot of trouble."

She was afraid of the innocent disaster five years ago, and she didn't want Lin Qiannan to experience it again.

Shen Tuxuan comforted: "Qiannan will follow you in secret and will not show your face in public. If you don't want to come back this time, you can stay in Yu Country and find a good family to marry."

Zhao Huanya bent her knees and knelt straight on the ground, her words tinged with tears, "Brother Ah Xuan, you know Ya'er's heart! I didn't want to marry Han Qi before I married far away in the southern country. Brother Nan, it is God’s love. Even if Brother Qiannan has no intentions for me, it is pity for me to be with him all the time. You know, Brother Qiannan is suffering too much. If Ya’er can bring him A touch of sweetness is good too!"

Shen Tuxuan had mixed feelings in his heart, he didn't help Zhao Huanya anymore, turned his back and said: "Go, go back to your hometown, if you don't regret it, then come back, I will preside over the marriage for you and Qiannan."

Zhao Huanya didn't have too much joy, her eyes were full of relief from the burden of many years, she solemnly saluted and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for fulfilling the task!"

Shen Tuxuan came over to help her up, and hugged her as her own sister, "Ya'er, no matter what Yu Country is, Nanguo will always be your home."

"Well, Ya'er remembered."

Lin Qiannan outside the hall listened to their conversation and did not rush in. He stood by the stone pillar and waited for Zhao Huanya to leave before entering the hall.

Shen Tuxuan, who was reviewing the memorial, was not surprised, "Have you heard about Qiannan?"

With no outsiders around, Lin Qiannan didn't stick to strict etiquette. He poured himself a cup of tea, sat down and drank it slowly.

The content of the memorials of the ministers of the Southern Kingdom was concise and clear, and Shen Tuxuan read them all in a short while. Seeing that Lin Qiannan was still silent, he took a pen to describe Lin Qiannan's face bit by bit on the rice paper.

Lin Qiannan turned his head, and a different light flashed in his eyes, "I remember, there was someone who seemed to draw me as intently as you."

Shen Tuxuan naturally knew who he was talking about, the smile on the corner of his mouth cooled down a little bit, and he drew it coldly.

"Your expression is very similar to his." Lin Qiannan turned his head and looked out the window, "If I'm not wrong, he is Han Qi, right? I used to like him very much?"

Shen Tuxuan spent two years in Xian Wang's mansion happily, but all the happiness came from Lin Qiannan, and Lin Qiannan's unhappiness came from Han Qi.

When he was Chunhua, he witnessed Lin Qiannan's two years of pain and unhappiness.

Even so, Shen Tuxuan still could not obliterate this fact.

"Well, the former Lin Qiannan liked him very much."

"It's okay that he's a peerless beauty, but he's the emperor of the ninth five years," Lin Qiannan joked, "What did I like about him before?"

Shen Tuxuan only drew a pair of empty eyes on the rice paper and couldn't draw any more. She put down her pen and said, "Go out, I'm tired."

Lin Qiannan didn't move, quietly pondering over this complicated issue.Seeing that he could not be driven away, Shen Tuxuan sulked and went to rest in the inner room.

Not long after, Lin Qiannan walked in and asked, "I don't want to marry Ya'er."

"Why?" Shen Tuxuan, who was not asleep at all, rolled over and got out of bed.

"The last thing you should ask me is why, you know—"

The pleading in Shen Tuxuan's eyes made him unable to continue.

"Qiannan, be nice to yourself, don't deny yourself anymore. Ya'er really admires you. She has waited for so many years and only wants to marry you. What can I do?"

Lin Qiannan couldn't refuse anymore, why didn't he know Zhao Huanya's friendship, if it were someone else, he would marry him, it didn't matter.

It was precisely because it was Zhao Huanya that he was unwilling to let her down.

Inside the Imperial Palace of Yu Kingdom.

Han Qi was sitting on a soft couch in the Crouching Dragon Hall, dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe. He had been on the throne for five years and had seen countless people.

"You are Concubine Le's court lady?" Han Qi's voice was devoid of any emotion.

The maid did not expect that a small failure of function would lead to interrogation by the emperor himself, and she replied tremblingly: "Return...Return to Your Majesty, that's right."

"Drag out, die with a stick."

The maid's begging for mercy resounded throughout the palace, and the executioners seemed to be a wake-up call to everyone. They deliberately chose a place with a lot of people, and the execution stick that hit the maid repeatedly hit everyone in the harem again and again. heart.

Concubine Le Gui is a master who cannot be messed with!

"Your Majesty, don't be angry."

Empress Zhao Huanyan dragged her luxurious robes, her feet were like lotuses growing every step of the way, her whole body was filled with the seductive fragrance of flowers, her face was full of beauty, and her makeup was exquisite.

May I ask that such a stunning beauty, which man would not be moved by it?

Han Qi put his arms around Zhao Huanyan's slender waist, "Queen, I need you to worry about the affairs of the harem."

"Where is Your Majesty going?" Zhao Huanyan leaned against her man, blushing and looking forward to the next thing.

"The queen wants to participate in the affairs of the previous dynasty?"

"Chen and concubine dare not!"

Han Qi frowned when he smelled the gaudy scent of powder all over her body, and his slender fingers were indistinctly away from her waist, but he was extremely disgusted in his heart.

At night, Han Qi stayed in Concubine Le's palace.

Concubine Le Gui is Xiao Le who was in trouble with Lin Qiannan in prison.

Xiao Le sat on the gold-rimmed wheelchair that Han Qi customized for her, and looked at Han Qi who was eating with a smile.

Han Qi promised that Lin Qiannan would take good care of Xiao Le. Xiao Le's legs were inconvenient, and she didn't want to marry when she reached the right age. In order not to fall into the trap, he married Xiao Le in name and gave her a stable life, but they were not husband and wife. .

"What are you laughing at? The dinner is not to your taste?" Han Qi put down his chopsticks, intending to summon the maid.

Xiao Le waved his hand and said, "No, I'm just curious why you didn't ask Brother Qiannan."

Han Qi laughed at himself, and Xiao Le immediately understood.

"You're finally tired, and I'm even more tired. In the past five years, you have often asked me what brother Qiannan said to me. You are the emperor and I can't disobey you. I told you what he said to me over and over again, but he didn't agree with me." I didn’t say a few things when I was chatting, and I almost knew it backwards when I said it over and over again.”

Han Qi picked up his chopsticks again, "Why can't I remember?"

Xiao Le also picked up the chopsticks and ate heartily, "Because he told me, not you."

Han Qi put down his chopsticks again, losing his appetite, "There are many things he hasn't told me."

"You treat him badly, why did he tell you?"

Xiao Le has heard about what happened back then, and even if Han Qi treated her well in the past few years, she would tease him with insinuations.

What Han Qi heard coincided with what the man said in his memory.

A trace of hope appeared on Han Qi's stern face, "Is there still time for me to treat him well?"

"You want to treat Brother Qiannan well, but the question is can you find it?" Xiao Le laughed and coughed.

Han Qi stopped talking, Xiao Le felt that he was going too far, and added: "If you can drop everything one day just for him, then you will definitely find it."

The next day, the emperor who had worked hard for five years was finally absent from the early court. He claimed to be sick, and the affairs of the court were temporarily replaced by the six departments.

A group of people and horses set off from the southern country on the same day. After the people and horses disappeared on the long official road, a red horse walked slowly forward accompanied by another black horse on its hooves.

"Qiannan, take this jade pendant with you." Shen Tuxuan handed Lin Qiannan a jade pendant of extraordinary texture, with a unicorn carved in the middle of the jade pendant.

Lin Qiannan took it and tied it around his waist, "There's no need to give it away, I'll be back soon."

Shen Tuxuan's worries couldn't be explained clearly to Lin Qiannan. He was dressed in regular clothes and sent him off for ten miles. Even now that his identities were very different, he still wanted to call Lin Qiannan his master.

Those were the two years when he was the most relaxed and happy. At that time, he only had to worry about Lin Qiannan, but now he was bound by the shackles of the Southern Kingdom, and he couldn't even go with him.

Lin Qiannan pulled the rein, and the horse galloped forward, "I'm leaving, take care of yourself."

"Hurry up and get back!"

"Ok!"

It would take half a month from Nanguo to Yuguo at a fast pace. Lin Qiannan was behind the huge stop-and-go convoy, and it might take three months to come back.

Lin Qiannan tried his best to slow down the horse and keep a long distance from the convoy.

In fact, Shen Tuxuan sent out enough people to protect Zhao Huanya to guard a small city, and there was no need for him to add to the situation.Shen Tuxuan hated the State of Yu deeply, and kept silent about the State of Yu except for this trip.

What is the meaning of this move?

Lin Qiannan accidentally saw the jade pendant on his waist, and a strange but existing memory flashed in his head.

"Everything is up to me, you don't have to intervene."

whose voice?

Is it Han Qi?

Why do I always think of him?

……

Lin Qiannan endured his headache and followed the convoy closely.
