At that time, the sky was vast and the clouds were thin. The crisp sound of horse hooves pulling the carriage behind them leisurely passed the Great Xiangguo Temple. Two years ago, the Great Xiangguo Temple introduced a kind of flower tree called Japanese cherry blossoms from Wo Nation. This year was the first year it bloomed. The pink snow cherry blossoms were really delicate and fresh, attracting many people in the capital to see it. As a result, the horse hooves gradually weakened, and the carriage Ning Shu and Xiahou Qing were in was blocked here.
The people who had enjoyed the cherry blossoms walked out of the Xiangguo Temple, still unsatisfied. As they walked, they exclaimed, "I really didn't expect that a flower tree sent from Wo Nation thousands of miles away would bloom so well in our Great Yue State. That drooping flower stem, pink and white petals, and tender red stamens, it's like a delicate beauty. It's really beautiful. "
In the carriage, listening to the admiration of the people outside the carriage, Ning Shu's clear green eyes clearly reflected Xiahou Qing's slightly raised chin and his light pink lips at this time.
In a trance, she sighed like a flower lover. She really didn't expect it.
Just like in that life, they hadn't even seen each other once. No one expected that there would be such an opportunity. Meeting, forming an alliance, solving cases side by side, and slowly forming such a deep bond.
Silently, Ning Shu secretly took a deep breath.
She remembered that more than half a month ago, when investigating the Cloud Leaf Case, she had asked, "Your Highness, if in the end I still can't find the secret of the plum blossom kiss, will you really let me be buried with you?"
He answered, "No. After death, I can only accept lying with another person unless that person is very close to me. You? The black tortoise outside my grave is still lacking a person. "
But now he changed his words.
In total, it was no more than thirty to fifty words. After repeating it several times in her mind, she said, "It seems that Your Highness said before … you don't need me to be buried with you …"
When Xiahou Qing heard her words, he couldn't help but feel a little reluctant. Xiahou Qing frowned and said, "When the First Emperor passed away, eight thousand terracotta soldiers were buried with him. What? After I, Xiahou Qing, am dead, I can't accompany you, Ning Shu? Or do you want to go back on your oath? "
Ning Shu was silent for a moment. "… Your Highness is peerless. Don't talk about me, even if you accompany ten people, it's still not enough. Back then, my daughter had personally made an oath. Naturally, she remembered it. Haha … "
Outside the window came the sound of five-year-old Ji 'er playing with the maidservants. She was like a bird that had just left its nest, tender and happy. Ning Shu's lips curled into a smile amidst the laughter that was as pure as fresh snow. She slowly calmed down and no longer thought about anything else, falling asleep in a daze.
Three hours later, Ning Shu was awakened.
Zi Gui walked to Ning Shu's bed with a serious expression. He looked at the young miss who was still in a deep sleep and hesitated for a moment before finally deciding to wake her up. "Young miss, the missing Qi Jueyu has been found."
His voice was very soft, but it made Ning Shu suddenly open her eyes.
A handful of cold water quickly woke her up. Ning Shu quickly washed and changed her clothes while asking Zi Gui about the details of what had happened.
Zi Gui said, "To be exact, she wasn't found. She was accidentally found. After Fourth Miss Qi went missing, everyone in the Marquis Lu's residence was worried. Madam Qi washed her face with tears all day long and Lord Qi also sighed. Thus, they decided to give out porridge in the east and west of the city to accumulate good fortune. They hoped that God would see their sincerity and send Qi Jueyu back in one piece. However, Marquis Lu's residence gave out porridge for several days, but there was still no news of Qi Jueyu. Madam Qi said that perhaps their hearts weren't sincere enough. There were still many sick and disabled beggars in the capital who couldn't get their own porridge. It would be better for them to take the initiative to send it over so that the immortals would be touched. Most of the beggars lived under bridges in abandoned houses. Thus, the servants of the Qi family went to deliver the porridge. Then, they found a female beggar under a bridge. Her voice was very similar to Fourth Miss Qi's. Upon closer inspection, it was indeed her. They turned pale with fright and hurriedly brought her back to their residence. "
