Sickish Prince is Scheming - C298
A few days later, the weather was clear.
At the edge of Eastcalm City, Dongfang Hao escorted Shang Yuqing and Ying Ying back to the Southern Marsh. Fang Zinan and the others came to see them off.
Shang Yiqing turned around to look at Fang Zinan, his eyes filled with reluctance and yearning. The wind was blowing her hair, and there was a tinge of sorrow on his beautiful face as he said goodbye to him.
Fang Zinan walked up and said gently, “Qing Er, your eyes are just fine. Be careful.”
“Don’t worry, with the Qi King to take care of us, there won’t be any danger.” Shang Yiqing pulled back the corners of her lips, baring her teeth at Fang Zinan. She wanted to show him a smile, but her smile froze on her face when it was only half done. She couldn’t bring herself to do so.
Fang Zinan’s heart ached, “Qing’er, your smile is too ugly. I know what you’re thinking. I promise you, as long as this battle is over, I will return to the imperial court as soon as possible.”
“Mm …” Shang Yiqing pursed her lips and said softly, “But …” “But I really don’t want to part with you.”
“I can’t bear to part from you either.” Fang Zinan smiled, it was a smile filled with warmth and emotion, “Obediently go back, I will also return to the Southern Marsh Country very soon.”
Shang Yiqing sniffed before lowering her head without saying a word.
On the other side, Ying Ying was also bidding her farewells to Xiao Tianyuan.
Ying Ying, I’m a lot more at ease with the Qi King taking care of you along the way. “Xiao Tianyuan glanced at Dongfang Hao.” However, you need to be careful when you keep up.
Ying Ying interrupted him and said in a coy voice, “Big brother, I’m already this old and you still think I’m a child?”
Xiao Tianyuan smiled faintly and shifted his gaze to Dongfang Hao. “Duke Qi, I’ll have to trouble you to take care of Ying Ying.”
“General Xiao, don’t worry. I will definitely take good care of Ying Ying.” Dongfang Hao seriously said, as if he was trying to promise Xiao Tianyuan something.
Xiao Tianyuan nodded and smiled without saying a word.
Ying Ying glanced at Nan Yu Lan, then went over and held her hand, pulling her aside as they whispered to each other.
“Miss Nan, we have to go. I hope you can help me take care of my big brother.” Ying Ying appeared very solemn.
Nan Yu Lan smiled gently, and asked her: “You trust me that much? Was it me who hurt your big brother last time? ”
“I know. If it wasn’t for you, no one would have been able to injure my Big Brother!” Ying Ying glanced at her again. “I know that you and my elder brother have a very good relationship.”
“Who said …” When she said this, she suddenly felt a bit embarrassed.
Ying Ying smiled sweetly. “Anyone can tell the relationship between you and my big brother. Don’t deny it.”
“So what if I admit? So what if I don’t admit? ” Nan Yu Lan’s smile faded as he said sorrowfully: “Sooner or later, we’ll have to separate as well.”
Ying Ying was taken aback. “Why did you separate from my big brother?”
“I am the criminal in the imperial court, while your eldest brother is the great general that the imperial court values. How can a great general marry a criminal?” Nan Yu Lan sighed. From the moment she fell in love with Xiao Tian Yuan, she knew that there was no chance for them to be together, unless some miracle happened. After all, she had personally killed Ning Wang and charged through the forbidden palace.
Ying Ying sighed to herself. “Don’t say that. I know my big brother. He knows you won’t change. “If you defeat the Grand Preceptor again, then my big brother will have rendered meritorious service. It’s not impossible for the emperor to pardon you for your crimes then, don’t think too much.”
“What do you think are the chances?” Nan Yu Lan sneered.
Ying Ying lowered her head and thought for a moment. Then, she said, “Even so, this is still better than having no hope. When the time comes, we can ask Prince Rong to come forward and convince the emperor …”
Nan Yu Lan interrupted her: “Even though Prince Rong was keeping me in the army camp because of Xiao Tian Yuan, he didn’t have a good impression of me. I killed his big brother, how could he not hate me? “It’s impossible for him to beg the emperor at all. You’re thinking too innocently.”
Ying Ying was rendered speechless by her words. After a while, she said, “Even if that’s the case, my elder brother will not give up on you. Even if it’s for my elder brother’s sake, you can’t give up on him.”
“I’ve never given up on anything?” Nan Yu Lan’s eyes were filled with confidence and determination, “Don’t forget my profession. I was once a hitman, and they would never give up so easily.”
Ying Ying nodded her head hurriedly. “It’s great that you can think like that.”
“Ying Ying, thank you for being so concerned about me. I’ll take good care of Xiao Tianyuan for you.” Nan Yu Lan smiled.
Shang Yiqing shouted from the other side, “Hey! Are you guys playing or not? We’ve already talked for so long, and you still want to stay? ”
Ying Ying glanced at Shang Yiqing unhappily and said to Nanyu Lan, “I’m leaving!” She turned and mounted her horse.
Shang Yiqing and Dongfang Hao were also straddling the horse, waiting for Ying Ying to mount the horse. They told everyone, “Take care!” He galloped forward.
Fang Zinan stood there and watched as Shang Yiqing left for a long time. Only when her figure disappeared did she turn around.
“Let’s go.” Xiao Tian Yuan called out from behind him.
Fang Zinan silently smiled and slowly walked back.
“Are you really that reluctant to part with your wife now?”
Fang Zinan unknowingly nodded, “Yes, I really don’t want to part with her. Her eyes are just right. Moreover, she is very active, so I’m really worried for her.”
“In that case, why must you let her go?” Xiao Tian Yuan retorted.
Fang Zinan sighed as he looked at Xiao Tianyuan. “Even though I’m worried about Qing’Er’s safety, it’ll be even more dangerous for her to stay here. Right now, the Grand Preceptor’s army is about to depart, so we should think of a way to deal with them.”
Xiao Tianyuan smiled. “Although the Grand Preceptor borrowed quite a bit of troops from the Beiyue Kingdom this time, he’ll definitely be on his own and won’t be a problem.”
“Even if you said it like that earlier, you should still be careful. Don’t make any mistakes.”
“I know.” “En.” Xiao Tian Yuan replied. When he saw Nan Yu Lan and Dong Fang Luo Li gathered together and talking, his heart felt warm. No matter when he saw them, they would always feel warm and gentle.
Fang Zinan looked over at him and said lightly: “Actually, I was thinking about something.”
“What is it?”
“I’m thinking about whether I should let South Yu Lan stay in the army. After all, she used to be one of King Xuan’s men. Moreover, she hurt my big brother before, so I really …” Fang Zinan suddenly stopped and didn’t continue.
Xiao Tianyuan’s face turned red as he said in anger: “Are you saying that you can’t be at ease with South Yulan staying in the army?”
“Yes, I really don’t feel at ease. I don’t feel at ease that she was once a person of King Xuan, that she once caused my brother to go insane, that she injured Qing’er with her sword, and even more so, I don’t trust her to view your enemy as someone who has harmed you many times.” Fang Zinan’s chest was heaving rapidly as he spoke to here, and his face was flushed red from excitement.
Xiao Tianyuan laughed bitterly: “So you don’t like her that much? But she has changed! ”
“It is easy to change one’s nature!” When Fang Zinan said this, he felt that his tone was too harsh. He added: “I have my reservations about this. I have no objection to you leaving her here, so I can take this opportunity to observe her as well. “
