Su Xiaoqi was curious about how Shen Yun had managed to catch up so quickly.
At the same time, she asked if he had been injured last time.
And had only he come alone, what about the others?
Did they have confidence in leaving here? Also, would those people at home be very worried when they knew she was missing…
Blah, blah, blah, Su Xiaoqi asked a string of questions.
Shen Yun listened with a smile and only spoke when she had no more questions.
"My lady asked so many questions at once, I will answer them one by one for you."
"After I arrived in the capital, I went to the residence where Prince Ping was confined.
I found that although he was injured, it was only a superficial wound.
In my lady's words, if the doctor had arrived any later, it would have healed on its own. At that time, I felt there must be a trick.
I just didn't expect that someone here would use my injury as an excuse to deceive you."
Shen Yun regretted his past actions.
His lady cared for him, and if she heard he was injured, she would definitely go.
And his lady, worried about his safety when she traveled to the capital late at night, had brought Zhang Lei and the other two with him,
leaving only Zhang Yu by her side, which gave them the opportunity.
"It's good that you're okay, I was worried you were injured." Su Xiaoqi leaned into Shen Yun's embrace and told him that at the time, she hadn't thought of anything else, only that Shen Yun was not injured, and that was enough.
"Silly wife, I will take care of myself. You must never be foolish again!" Shen Yun nuzzled her head with his chin.
He said softly that when he saw Prince Ping's wound, he knew something was wrong.
He immediately rushed out of the city and back to Liuyuan.
To his surprise, he heard that Su Xiaoqi had also returned to the capital because of his injury.
He knew at that moment that it was impossible and realized it was a trap.
"Alas… did you catch up from that moment?" Su Xiaoqi thought Shen Yun would know, and at least wait until dawn.
She didn't expect him to chase after her all night, not delaying at all.
"We did chase, but at the time we didn't know where to chase. It wasn't until I knew Chu Yunwei had left that I started to suspect him."
Speaking of this, Shen Yun felt a wave of remorse.
If he hadn't noticed Chu Yunwei's malicious intent, why would his lady have suffered so much.
However, even though he suspected Chu Yunwei, it was of no use.
He had been investigating carriages along the way.
But there were too many carriages traveling north and south.
They dared not search openly, lest he find out, become vigilant, and hide the person in some corner, making it even harder to find.
Therefore, the search by the people Shen Yun sent out was conducted secretly.
Of course, he realized that Chu Yunwei had inside help in the capital, so he did not use the government or the Imperial Guards.
At this time, the Misty Rain Pavilion proved useful.
They had a very powerful intelligence network and intelligence personnel.
And those people had been ambushed years ago.
When they were inactive, they were no different from ordinary people.
Once activated, they could quickly gather local information.
With just a carrier pigeon, they could be mobilized.
In fact, he had arrived in Beichu territory much earlier.
Shen Yun was certain that Chu Yunwei was dissatisfied with being a hostage for many years, and he would definitely find a way to return to Beichu to seize the throne.
So no matter what, Xiaoqi, who had been kidnapped by him, would definitely be brought here.
Therefore, he had hastened to Beichu to wait for them.
It only took a bit of effort to find this place.
Fortunately, they had found it now, and those matters were not worth mentioning.
"Husband, you've worked hard." Su Xiaoqi hugged Shen Yun's waist, thinking it was no wonder he was so sleepy that he could sleep for a whole day in such an environment.
She had originally thought it was because they had been too indulged last night and tired him out.
It turned out he had been rushing all this time.
Moreover, not getting any news from her, he couldn't rest assured.
With a string of tension, his heart was hanging, and he couldn't sleep at all.
"It's good now, neither of us has to worry about each other anymore," Su Xiaoqi said with a smile.
Shen Yun told her that he had not only come to save her this time, but also to eliminate Chu Yunwei for the King of Beichu.
"My mother's intention?" Su Xiaoqi's mind flashed to Yu Jing's face.
Shen Yun nodded.
Su Xiaoqi thought so too, saying that Chu Yunwei looked decent before, but in private, he was so cunning.
"It's normal that you don't know, even Changfeng was kept in the dark," Shen Yun sighed.
Some people were born actors, like himself.
If he wanted others to think he was a certain type of person, he could act like that person.
So it was normal for them to be deceived by Chu Yunwei.
Especially Yu Changfeng, who was born into a military family, was always straightforward, sincere, and honest. If not him, who else would be deceived?
Su Xiaoqi nodded, Shen Yun was right.
Thinking of Chu Yunwei's capabilities, she reminded him in a low voice:
"Husband, don't underestimate Chu Yunwei."
Shen Yun listened and pondered, "Why does my lady say that?"
Although he never underestimated anyone, since Xiaoqi specifically mentioned it, he took it very seriously.
"I, I had a dream before, and I dreamed that Chu Yunwei really became the King of Beichu."
Su Xiaoqi told Shen Yun what she had read in books.
She hoped to make Shen Yun vigilant, lest he be tricked by Chu Yunwei.
Shen Yun raised an eyebrow: "Oh, my lady only spent a few days with him, and you already dreamed of him?
I've been with my lady for so many years, why don't I see you dreaming of me?"
This sour taste, had it overturned the vinegar jar?
Su Xiaoqi blinked her eyes and said half-jokingly, half-seriously, "Who says I haven't dreamed of you."
Shen Yun immediately became interested and pestered her to tell him.
"I dreamed, I dreamed that you had me executed by a thousand cuts, that you cut me 3,600 times, hmm…"
Before Su Xiaoqi could finish, Shen Yun kissed her into silence.
After a while, Shen Yun released her and said sternly, "My lady, don't be mischievous. How could I treat you like that?"
This was impossible forever.
He would rather cut himself than hurt her.
Su Xiaoqi sighed, thinking that these things were written in books, and it was the original Su Xiaoqi who was cut.
She wasn't there at the time and didn't know if it was true.
However, she agreed with what Shen Yun said now.
After all, his feelings for her were as clear as day, and he could indeed do something like harming himself rather than hurting her.
So she was just kidding.
"This dream of yours is not good, don't have it again in the future.
No, it's impossible to control dreams, so I, your husband, can only keep you busy."
For example, having their child, and taking care of the child, she would have no time to overthink.
Su Xiaoqi patted him lightly, but her hand was already on her wrist.
She had felt something was wrong these past few days, sometimes she was very hungry and wanted to eat.
But when the food was brought to her, she suddenly felt nauseous and couldn't eat it.
Coupled with the fact that her period had not arrived when it should have, she had a vague guess.
It was just too early to tell by pulse, and it would be fine in a few days.
"By the way, my lady, speaking of dreams, did I dream before too?
I seem to have seen Yuanbao Mountain…"
Yuanbao Mountain was far away in Mianzhou City, and he was thousands of miles away in Beichu. If it wasn't a dream, what was it?
Su Xiaoqi lowered her head, knowing that Shen Yun was referring to the mountain she saw in her space.
She hesitated, unsure how to explain.
It wasn't that she wanted to hide it from Shen Yun, but that the matter was too mysterious.
She feared that even if she explained it, it would be incomprehensible.
This time, Shen Yun did not dismiss it as casually as he had before, but looked at her with bright eyes, quietly waiting for her answer.
He didn't ask, just looked at her.
"Husband, you must know?" Su Xiaoqi bit her lip.
Shen Yun said nothing, but smiled, his smile gentle and firm.
