In the blink of an eye, it was already the fourth of February; it was also the day of Shao Zhongxi and Qi Yin’s wedding. Not only did Xue Yan bring Jiang Yue and Xue Sifu, but Emperor Hao also came.
Prince Ying had originally planned to return to his fief, but he had some ties with Duke Shao. Now that Duke Shao’s second son was having a wedding, he decided to stay for two more days. He had also brought his daughter, Princess Jin, to attend the wedding. He wanted to celebrate before he returned.
After the wedding, not only did Jiang Yue, Xue Yan, Xue Sifu, Emperor Hao, Shao Zhongxi, and Qi Yin set off for Locust Village, but Prince Ying and Princess Jin also set off for Jingyue.
Because Qi Yin was pregnant, she was not allowed to ride a horse. Instead, she was told to sit in a carriage and was protected by many Cloud Guards. The carriage moved slowly, allowing her to take rests in between.
Qi Yin estimated that it would take more than half a month to reach Locust Village, so Jiang Yue and the others rode back first so that their families would not worry about them.
Jiang Yue and the others originally wanted Shao Zhongxi to go with Qi Yin, but Qi Yin refused. She said that Shao Zhongxi had to teach Xue Yan martial arts. She could not delay his progress for so long. She insisted that Shao Zhongxi ride with Jiang Yue and the others first. She even wanted to ride with them but knew she could not. Anyway, she did not want Shao Zhongxi to accompany her to Locust Village slowly, so they had no choice but to leave without her.
However, because Jiang Yue and Xue Yan felt that Qi Yin would be in danger in the near future, they whispered to the Cloud Guards again, telling them to be extra careful along the way.
In her previous life, Shao Zhongxi was not able save Qi Yin and was seriously injured. However, that was because Shao Zhongxi had been alone. Now, there were so many Cloud Guards around, and each of them had been trained by the Defender General. They could fight against a hundred people at once. Even if Qi Yin were to encounter the same danger as in her previous life, they made sure to place enough guards around so that she would be fine.
Otherwise, not only would Shao Zhongxi not be able to save Qi Yin in his previous life, but he would also die on the spot.
Shao Zhongxi probably knew that they were Xue Yan’s secret guards, so he did not say anything. He was still as cold as ever, but his eyes swept across the secret guards protecting his wife. There were more of them now. Clearly, it was his wife who might be in danger, not him…
He was silent for a moment, but still sent his wife onto the carriage.
In the carriage, he believed that if Xue Yan and Jiang Yue had made such arrangements, his wife would definitely be fine. Otherwise, they would not have returned to Locust Village first. They had known each other for so long. He knew how close Xue Yan and Jiang Yue were to each other. However, he still could not hold it in. With a cold face, he whispered to his wife, “No matter what happens, you have to hold on until I come to find you.”
If there was really an accident… Even if she was already a corpse, he still wanted to find her corpse and be with her.
“Yes.” Qi Yin nodded with red eyes. She was afraid of something happening to her along the way. This was the real reason why she was so insistent on not letting him be with her.
Since the Emperor and Jiang Yue had made such arrangements, she believed that all these Cloud Guards would be able to protect her. She would be fine, but she was still worried. She would rather something happen to herself than let anything happen to him.
He told her to hold on until he came to find her, and she agreed to it just to ease his heart. He knew that he was putting her in danger, but he promised not to travel with her to ease her mind. He had a cold personality and didn’t like to say much. He usually listened to her, but she actually knew everything he thought about.
Especially his heart.
It had never changed.
