When I went back that night, I only told Susu to make some preparations. We were about to leave the academy the next day, so we went to bed early. When we woke up the next morning, we didn't expect that Susu had already packed up all the bags.

She served me to finish washing, and then said, "You can leave at any time."

I nodded, not in a hurry. I went there first and called Qinghan. What was unexpected was that he didn't sleep in today. When I went there, I saw that his bed was empty, and later I found him in the corridor.

It was still early and the mist was misty. He stood there holding the handrail with both hands and looking into the distance.

The eyes that had always seemed extremely clear were stained by mist, and their eyes became confused.

I walked over gently: "Are you here?"

He turned his head and looked at me, chuckling softly.

I stood beside him and also looked at the scenery in the distance, with the undulating mountains and the fog swelling. Although I passed by this place every day in the past few days, I didn’t have time to stop and take a look at the scenery here in order to hurry up and participate in the library discussion or to do business. Today, I was about to leave, but I found that the scenery I saw in this place was particularly good, and even made people linger.

However, standing at such a high place, the mountain wind blew over and clouds, which made people a little dizzy after a long time.

I also stretched out my hands to hold the handrail like him, and asked, "Why didn't you sleep in today? You got up so early?"

He was silent for a moment and said, "I can't sleep."

I just saw his eyes a little red. Now he is standing close, and even more so his temples are moistened by fog. I said, "Have you stood there all night? How can this be done? It's not good for your health."

He sighed, even his shoulders drooped slightly, and said with a wry smile: "What else is better?"

“…”

He has never been a person who says depressed words like this, but now he has said such words. I know that it must be what Nan Zitai said yesterday that made him feel that even Master Ye was helpless in his body, and that he was so frustrated.

I hurriedly turned around and looked at him and said seriously: "I don't allow you to say that. If you are still fine now, you can't give up!"

He looked up at me.

I said, "Big, we send troops to fight Wuwei and capture Nangong Lizhu back and bleed. What's the big deal!"

“…”

He was stunned. He didn't expect me to say this. When he thought about my words, he couldn't help laughing: "What do you say? After all, he is still a concubine. Why does it look like a piece of meat when it comes to your mouth?"

I looked at him with wide eyes: "Then don't say those words, I won't let you die!"

He looked at me gently, then smiled: "Okay, I promise you that I will not give up easily."

I was relieved to hear him say this.

The two of them stood quietly for a while, and I said, "Do you want to go back for dinner? Su Su has packed her luggage and prepared breakfast. She just waited for us to speak and was about to leave."

He said, "We leave here, where are we going next?"

He had thought before that he would go directly to Miaoshan Sect to find Master Ye after the discussion was over, but he might have hesitated now when Nan Zitai said something yesterday.

I said, "What do you think? I listen to you, I will follow you."

He thought for a while and said, "I think, no matter what, I'll go back to Bishan first, which is closer to Miaoshan Gate. If there is anything, we can react faster."

I nodded quickly: "I think so too. Besides, your troops are all in Bishan."

He looked at me with a wry smile: "Do you really want to send troops to fight Wuwei?"

I said seriously: "It's okay to prepare. No matter what, I won't let you get into trouble!"

He looked at my Zheng Erzhongzhi's eyes and calmed down for a while. After a while, he smiled and said softly: "Well, it's great to have a backer."

We returned to the house twice. Susu had already set up a table of food. I took the silver note and asked her to ask someone to send it. Then she sat down with Qinghan for breakfast. While eating, he turned to look at the bags that Susu had packed up next to him and said, "Let's go down the mountain and walk to the town later. Let's hire a car first."

I said, "Of course, if you hire one more, I also want to bring Concubine He and the second prince with me. Wei Yang and the others will go back to Chengdu by then, so I can send them both here."

Qinghan said: "This is the best. Now that the academy is so busy, it is very difficult to take care of them."

We decided to discuss that after we finished our breakfast, we packed up all the things. Wei Yang of course wanted to go back to Chengdu and tell Qingchen what happened here. Zhesheng decided to stay at Xishan Academy first. He had already yearned for this academy. He finally came and wanted to stay and see, Qinghan and I agreed.

The prince, too, must stay.

This is a bit unexpected, but it seems to be expected.

Although he had experienced such a thrilling day in the library, there was no trace of fear and weakness on his face, but instead he seemed very calm. Apart from some scratches, there was almost nothing serious. He heard that we were leaving, so he grabbed my hand with concern: "Aunt Qing, are you leaving so soon?"

I said, "Qinghan has been poisoned and has not yet been cured. We must think of a solution first."

He immediately said, "Senior brother won't be a problem, right?"

"I won't let him have something to do."

“…”

Hearing my words, he nodded softly, but I felt his eyes flashing a little, as if he wanted to speak, so I looked at the room behind him. Chang Yanbai and the old Mr. Qi were still resting inside. The fire in the library, the most serious impact among us should be these two old men. But I didn't expect that Chang Yanbai became tired and even wanted to find an opportunity to think about Nan Zhenyi for advice.

He can really devote himself to this world.

I asked, "Are they okay?"

Nian Shen immediately said: "The doctor will take a few more days to take the medicine. Anyway, my grandfather lives very close to here, so he doesn't rush back. I'll talk about it when his body is fully recovered."

"It's good that way. I'm old and can't stand the trouble. Your Highness, you must take good care of them."

"I know deeply."

After saying this, I was about to leave. At this time, Nian Shen finally said, "Aunt Qing, are you going to meet with your father?"

I looked back at him and said, "Your father will go to Chengdu and talk to the Yan family. I will not go to Chengdu for the time being."

He was silent for a moment, looked at me again, and whispered: "Aunt Qing, don't you want to see your father?"

“…”

My heart moved slightly.

When he met my gaze, he lowered his head and dodged, his expression a little awkward.

He seemed to know something.

Yes, he is so old, and it is impossible to make him as naive as he was when he was a child and not know anything. He is not premature, but he should understand a little about the matter between men and women at this age.

This made me a little embarrassed.

Although this child did not grow up next to me, I took it calmly as he called out Aunt Qing, but one day, he realized that my father and I had some past events that were difficult to look back on in the past. I felt like I had deceived him, and I didn't know how he would view me.

I was silent for a while before I reluctantly smiled, "Your father is here in Xichuan to do a serious business. It doesn't matter if you don't see me."

He lowered his head and his long eyelashes covered his black and white eyes. The young man had already lost his childishness, but at this time, some seemed to have returned to his expression. He was quiet for a while before he said softly: "It doesn't matter."

“…”

"Actually, during these days when Aunt Qing was away, I often saw my father sitting there quietly alone, and for a long time, without saying a word."

“…”

"At that time, no one dared to disturb him."

“…”

"At first, I thought my father was worrying about national affairs, or thinking about other things. But one day, I heard his name as Aunt Qing..." He raised his head and looked at me and said softly: "I only realized that my father was always thinking of Aunt Qing in his heart."

I didn't say anything, but felt a little sour in my heart slowly spread. After a while, I forced myself to smile and gently patted his shoulder.

Nian Shen said: "Aunt Qing, I——"

"Don't say it," I interrupted him gently, turned to look outside: "It's getting late, I'm leaving."

“…”

"If you stay in the academy, if you have anything to do, you can come to Bishan to find us."

“…”

"But I think nothing is going to happen. Your father will soon enter Xichuan. Everything should go smoothly."

“…”

"You take good care of yourself."

After saying that, I patted his shoulder, turned around and left.

I could feel the reluctance and confusion in Nian Shen's eyes, but at this time he could not say more. After I left his house, I quickly walked down the mountain with Qinghan and the others.

Xiao Yusheng brought a few students to see us off.

Everyone had some injuries on their faces and their bodies, and they looked a little embarrassed. I whispered to Xiao Yusheng: "You must recuperate well and don't leave any root cause. If you have anything to do, you must tell us."

Xiao Yu laughed and said, "Don't worry, Miss, I will pay attention."

I thought about it and asked again: "Will you go to Chengdu?"

He said: "The master has not made any arrangements yet, but if we want to go, he should not stop him."

I nodded.

In fact, after this discussion, I was no longer worried about the students. Now the whole Xichuan focus is Chengdu, and the people I pay attention to are no longer these students, but Yan Qingchen.

I don't know how he will react.

After a few gossips, he said goodbye and left. Wei Yang first took some of Qinghan's men to the town to hire a car, and a few of us walked towards my former residence.

This place is still as peaceful as ever.
