That night, Xin Nianyan thought for a long time and left a letter.

She couldn't tell her family about going to the border, and she didn't want to make any other excuses, so she just left without saying goodbye.

In the letter, he stated that he had something to do and needed to travel for a while, and asked them not to embarrass the people in his courtyard.

Early the next morning, while it was still dark, I packed my luggage and threw it on my back.

She held a sword in her hand and jumped towards the wall where Qin Han often came. She stood on the top of the wall and glanced back before disappearing into the dim sky.

She walked in the direction where Qin Han came to look for her and embarked on the road to find Qin Han.

…

In the heavy fog, there was a long line of motorcades lined up at the gate of Bieliushan Villa.

Xin Nianyan was standing at the door, holding the cold dew in her hand.

"Miss, you must take care of yourself when you are traveling far away."

Han Lu's eyes were red, and she reached out and hugged Xin Nianyan.

Xin Nianyan patted her back.

"Don't worry, I will."

Han Lu hugged her tightly, pursed her lips and said, "Miss, I can't bear to leave you. I want to go with you."

Before Xin Nianyan could speak, Ning Wuji, who was standing next to him, scolded him.

"Nonsense, the battlefield is dangerous, what are you going to do?"

Han Lu glared at him with red eyes, "I have saved my life while being chased and intercepted by countless people. What dangers have I not seen?"

"You didn't take care of me when I narrowly escaped death, so what qualifications do you have to take care of me now?"

These words hit the nail on the head and hit Ning Wuji's heart.

He clenched his fists and looked away.

"Alright Han Lu."

Xin Nianyan raised her hand and rubbed Han Lu's head, "You can't follow me, you have to stay and look after the shop for me."

"You will be in charge of the four shops on East Street. No one else would be able to do this."

Han Lu reluctantly nodded.

"Okay, I'll listen to the lady."

The fog was very cold. Xin Nianyan patted Han Lu on the shoulder, gave Ning Wuji a look, turned around and got into the carriage.

There were only two siblings at the door, relatively silent.

After a moment of silence, the horse snorted, as if to urge them.

Ning Wuji sighed, picked up his medical kit, and said goodbye, "I'm leaving."

Then he turned around and walked back.

"Wait a minute." Han Lu called out to him.

Ning Wuji paused and saw Han Lu walking towards him awkwardly, taking off a tattered five-color strand from her wrist.

"hand."

Ning Wuji raised his hand depressedly, and Han Lu rolled up his sleeves, wrapping the five-color strands around him.

She can wrap it around her hand four times, but Ning Wuji can only wrap it loosely three times.

"This is the Dragon Boat Festival in the second year after you left home. My mother gave it to me. She said it can ward off disasters, ward off evil spirits, and protect peace."

She lowered her eyes, tied the knot and tightened it.

"I know my mother was not good to you before, but this is the only relic of our family."

"You must protect the young lady and come back safely."

As she said that, she raised her eyes to look at Ning Wuji. Her usually cold and indifferent eyes were now slightly red and filled with a little water.

"If you don't come back, I will really be the only one left in this world."

In the past two years, she had never been kind to Ning Wuji. Ning Wuji had never seen her like this, and he was so distressed.

He clumsily followed Xin Nianyan's example and touched Han Lu's head.

The hair is very soft and feels good to the touch.

"Don't worry, I won't leave you alone."

Han Lu didn't move away, she lowered her head and let Ning Wuji touch her for a while before speaking.

"Go ahead, don't keep the lady waiting too long."

Ning Wuji nodded, "Take care of yourself and wait for me to come back."

He carried the diagnosis and treatment box, took three steps and looked back, and finally stepped onto the carriage.

Following Xin Nianyan's order, the caravan began to set off.

The entire caravan is from Feiyan Pavilion. Xin Nianyan went out this time, in addition to Ning Wuji and Shi Wudanjiu, he also brought seven people from Twenty-eight Su.

There were ten people and eight cars in total.

Behind each carriage, there is a heavy cart of medicinal materials, so there are two fast horses driving in front.

The carriage went further and further along the official road, leaving only ruts in the snow.

Han Feng, who was leaning against the door with his arms folded, watched the carriage go away, unable to regain his consciousness for a long time.

"Why don't you go see the lady off?"

Han Lu walked up to him and asked aloud.

"I don't like to be separated." Hanfeng came back to his senses and turned around and entered the house.

He was afraid that he wouldn't be able to let her go, that he would... keep her at all costs.

…

The other side.

Prime Minister's Mansion.

The heavy winter fog dissipated and the sun gradually rose. Xin Nianyan got up without seeing Xiaozhu, and knocked helplessly at the door.

"Miss, it's time to get up."

In fact, she had already been here once before, but thinking that Xin Nianyan came back late last night, she didn't bother her to sleep in.

There was still no answer from inside, and she couldn't help but feel a little worried, so she knocked on the door a little harder.

"Miss, are you awake? Can you please hold a small candle before staying in bed?"

There was still no sound inside, and Xiaozhu couldn't help but feel her heart skip a beat. She quickly walked to the window and tried to peek in through the gap.

As a result, I got close to the window and pushed it, and the window opened just like that.

It was empty, and there was a letter on the neatly packed table.

Xiaozhu was stunned for two seconds and let out an exclamation.

“It’s not good!!!”

"The lady is missing!!!"

The courtyard immediately broke into chaos because of her shout.

Gu Shuang quickly got the news and hurried in from outside.

"Where's Yan'er?" She looked at Xiaozhu anxiously.

Xiaozhu shook his head and was about to burst into tears, "When I called the lady in the morning, she didn't answer me. I opened the window and saw no one inside, only a letter."

"Where's the letter?" Gu Shuang asked her with a frown.

"Here, in the house..." Xiao Zhu pointed to the closed door.

"Go and open the door." Gu Shuang turned to look at the housekeeper, who led the man to the other side of the window and quickly opened the door in front of him.

A group of people filed in, and the room was indeed empty.

Gu Shuang quickly walked to the bed and touched it. He found that it was already cold. He took another look at the closet and found that a few pieces of frequently worn clothes were obviously missing.

Someone had already opened the letter and handed it over to her. She raised her hand to take it, unfolded it and took a look.

The font is graceful but the strokes are strong, and only two lines of words are written.

[Don’t think about it after you’ve been away from home for a few days.]

[Please do not embarrass the people of Yanyunyuan. I will return soon and plead guilty in person. 】

Gu Shuang felt his eyes go dark and almost lost his balance.

The maid next to her, Forsythia, quickly supported her with quick eyes and hands, "Madam, are you okay?"
