It must have been seen by the young lady.
Jing Heng realized belatedly that A Cha was a bit shy, and the tips of his ears turned red again.
Looking at the two embarrassed people, Yun Shu couldn't help but laugh, "You should get busy with whatever you're doing and don't mind me. If you need anything, find me in the study. I'll go read in the study."
With that, she left.
Leaving the two of them behind.
They were usually extremely intelligent people, but now that they met each other, they became awkward again.
"I haven't eaten enough, I'll eat more," Jing Heng sat down directly and continued to stuff food into his mouth.
Upon hearing that Jing Heng hadn't eaten enough, A Cha quickly said, "The food is still warm. If it's not enough, I'll go to the kitchen now."
"It's enough, it's enough."
Yun Shu, who had walked a long distance, heard their conversation behind her and showed a knowing smile.
No one wished for the happiness of those around her more than she did.
She truly hoped they could always be this happy.
When they left the capital, and all these messy matters were resolved, she would hold a wedding for the two of them.
A wedding they would both remember vividly.
Half an hour later.
Jing Heng came to see Yun Shu and told her the news he had gathered over the past few days.
"Those people from Western Xia, someone secretly met with Princess Sheng Yue?" Yun Shu asked.
Jing Heng nodded. "Yes, I saw it with my own eyes. One day, I even heard someone call that middle-aged man 'General' and 'Master'. These people from Western Xia must hold high positions in Western Xia."
Yun Shu understood. "Okay, I know."
"Before I returned, I found Night King's spies. Night King should know by now," Jing Heng said.
Yun Shu smiled. "You've worked hard, Jing Heng. Since much has been investigated, you don't need to go back. Stay at Yun Manor. You haven't seen A Cha for a long time, don't you miss her? You don't have to stay here, go talk to A Cha."
"I... Master, I like A Cha," Jing Heng said in a deep voice.
Being away from here during this time, not seeing A Cha every day, he realized unconsciously that there was already someone in his heart. xxs1
Only after they were separated did he realize he didn't want to lose A Cha.
Seeing that Jing Heng had finally admitted his feelings for A Cha, Yun Shu immediately smiled, "If you like her, go tell A Cha. Both of you have been through a lot of hardship and can understand each other. You must cherish this."
In the past, Jing Heng was cold-blooded and heartless, having never experienced any family affection since childhood.
Even friendship was very weak. Trained as an assassin from a young age, he was taught to obey orders and be cold-blooded. Even companions who grew up with him had to be killed coldly.
This shaped Jing Heng's personality and mindset differently from ordinary people.
When she saved Jing Heng back then, he had difficulty living a normal life for a while.
He couldn't even sleep in a bed.
Even now, if he could say he liked someone, it meant he truly liked A Cha.
Jing Heng nodded solemnly, "Okay, I'll go tell her now!"
Yun Shu stood by the window and saw Jing Heng hurrying towards A Cha in the distance.
From afar, she couldn't hear what they were saying, but there was a sense of budding love surrounding them.
...
Jiang Luoxi waited for three days.
There was no news from Yun Shu for three days.
She also didn't notice anything unusual around her.
Could it be that Yun Shu was playing a trick on her, making her anticipate for three days in vain?
Jiang Luoxi pursed her lips tightly. Even though her heart was filled with suspicion, she still held a sliver of hope. She lowered her head, bandaged the wound on her leg, and equipped herself with some defensive items.
In the quiet night, she lay in bed, her eyes wide open.
For the past three days and nights, she had barely dared to dream, only closing her eyes for a moment before quickly opening them again, for fear of falling into a deep sleep and missing something important.
As the night deepened, she could no longer hold on and closed her eyes. Just as she was about to let herself fall asleep,
Suddenly, there was a movement at the door, which was opened by someone.
The sound was very faint.
Jiang Luoxi's eyes snapped open, and she sat up, looking towards the door.
Two figures in black entered.
One of the black-clad figures said, "We were sent by the young lady. Come with us."
Jiang Luoxi was about to nod, but her vigilance was extremely high, so she still asked, "Who is your young lady?"
"Second Miss Yun."
After hearing the words "Second Miss Yun," Jiang Luoxi's suspicion completely disappeared, and she immediately agreed, "Alright!"
As expected, at a time like this, the only person she could turn to for help was Yun Shu.
As long as Yun Shu agreed, Yun Shu would definitely make Night King take action.
In the capital, whatever Night King wanted to do, he would not be stumped.
In the silent night.
A carriage drove from the palace gates towards the outskirts of the capital.
It disappeared into the darkness, undetected by anyone.
Soon.
The carriage left the city as dawn broke.
It continued all the way to a dense forest outside the city.
The morning dew in the dense forest was still quite heavy.
Drip by drip, it fell onto the carriage.
Jiang Luoxi thought it was raining outside, so she lifted the carriage curtain to look. To her surprise, it was dew, not rain. She had accidentally fallen asleep in the carriage.
Had they left the capital?
Immediately, Jiang Luoxi was overjoyed. She had finally left the capital. Even if Prince Ning wanted to harm her, he wouldn't be able to. She had already disappeared from the capital!
As long as she lived anonymously from now on, no one would know her past!
"Where is this place?" Jiang Luoxi asked.
However, after her voice fell, there was no response for a long time.
The surroundings were eerily quiet.
Jiang Luoxi didn't pay much attention at first, but as time passed, she realized the horror. Yun Shu wouldn't have someone bring her out of the city for no reason and then abandon her. She hadn't even told Yun Shu the secrets she wanted to know!
With a sense of unease, she climbed out of the carriage with difficulty.
The moment she landed, her vision went black.
Her right leg, bitten by the Snow Spirit Snake, ached with unbearable intensity.
She gritted her teeth, sweat dripping from her forehead.
"Where are they?"
"Yun Shu?"
She called out several times, but there was still no response from her surroundings.
After the pain slightly subsided, she looked around.
The surroundings were a dark and gloomy dense forest, likely far from the capital, in a mountain forest outside the city.
She didn't understand Yun Shu's intentions.
Just as various speculations arose in her mind, Yun Shu emerged from a spot.
She walked up to Jiang Luoxi.
Upon seeing Yun Shu, Jiang Luoxi suddenly thought of something. She looked behind Yun Shu and bit her lip, asking, "Is Night King here too?"
Even at this point, she still held a shred of fantasy.
If she could turn the situation around, she would definitely seize the opportunity.
She would rather become Night King's consort than end up wandering the world.
"Night King is not here. Tell me everything you know." Yun Shu caught the glimmer of hope in Jiang Luoxi's eyes.
