Young man, please stay

Chapter 37 Returning to Beijing
  "Master Zhenfu...what is the background of this handsome guy..."

"Nonsense! What a handsome guy!"

"Oh...um...what is this man's background...?"

"I do not know either…"

"Sir, to be honest, before I came here, I heard rumors around Yuxuan on East Street that the princess had hired a personal attendant in Qingzhou, who was actually a lover..."

"Tsk! Be careful what you say and do!"

"Yes…"

……

The three hundred feather forest guards knelt down on one knee. They should have been silent, but now they were really rustling. Even the leading police envoy and a Qianhu behind him were talking about exchanging some "enemy feelings" in real time.

In fact, other Yulin guards may not know, or may only hear rumors, but the governor has actually received the oral instructions from the current empress, and she has been given some vague instructions to pay attention to.

Therefore, the governor actually had a better idea of ​​this man's identity than others.

……

"But sir, if this man is really the princess's lover...why does he seem to have feelings for Senju-sama..."

"Presumptuous... What do you think of Senju-sama?... Just a lover... To put it bluntly, he is just a male favorite. Senju-sama is not a maid. You need to share it with the princess...?"

"Oh my lord, this is not a matter of sharing..."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"My lord, you are also well-informed. Do the big shots in the capital have any hobbies?... Think about it, what if the princess just wants to have fun... So let Senju-sama..."

"That's enough, that's enough! Be careful with your words and deeds, ahem... be careful with your words and deeds..."

……

The more he kept saying "Be careful with your words and deeds", the more various speculations appeared in the minds of the three hundred feathered forest guards.

The three people in front of the hut also took this time to give a general explanation of the current situation.

To put it bluntly, the fact that a lady from a wealthy family escaped from the capital privately and was almost killed by bandits in a remote border state or county was spread through various channels to the lady's younger sister, who was also a bigger lady. In the ears of all ladies.

So, this greater lady, or the lady of the most powerful family in the world, sent 300 of the most elite guards in the world, including a town governor and two thousand households, and marched thousands of miles away. Come and take your injured sister back to the capital.

Of course, by now, my sister's injury must have healed.

The next step is to escort her back to Beijing safely, and the younger sister will feel relieved.

But the problem is, the younger sister wants her elder sister to go back, but her elder sister doesn’t seem to want to go back anymore...

……

"Qin Lang..."

Su Yinping's almond-shaped eyes were filled with laughter, and she called out the name of the man in front of her, and then... then she actually bit her lip, unable to say another word for a while.

"Shh..."

Qin Lang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he whispered into her ear:

"Nvxia Su, don't cry, there are so many people in front of you."

"But...but..."

But he said it nicely, and finally he opened his mouth and said "Su Nuxia" after a long absence, and in an instant, everything that had happened in the past few days was clearly awakened in the heart of the princess.

The scenes from the time when the two met to the present appeared in front of the princess's eyes like a revolving lantern.

She didn't need to go through any preparation, and her eyes became red uncontrollably, like the withered peach petals on the branches. It was very beautiful, and Qin Lang also liked to see it, but now was not the time.

"If you want to cry, come to the house later and let's cry slowly, okay?"

"Hmm... ugh... um..."

"But there is a question I want to ask."

"伱...you said..."

"Why are you crying?"

"Because...because..."

The princess sniffed, thought for a while, and then froze.     That's right, it's not a separation between life and death, why is she crying?
  And let alone life and death, even parting... doesn't seem to be certain...?
  "Qin Lang."

Su Yinping wiped her tears, her eyes showing a bit of determination and a bit of shyness, looking at the man in front of her who had been getting along with her day and night:

"Are you... willing to... return to the capital with me?"

"Beijing..."

……

Qin Lang was silent.

For him, the capital is a place he must go to sooner or later.

In fact, in the original plan, after receiving the arrest warrant and the reward, Qin Lang would not be able to look for the elusive "Nangong Zhuo" in "Inner Demon Record" immediately. He would probably head towards the capital. Onward.

After all, as the imperial capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, no matter whether it is traveling in the world or anything else, you may have to visit it at least once to be complete.

It's just that Qin Lang never thought that he would go directly to the capital the way he was being taken back by the emperor's sister.

Of course, this method is not unacceptable to Qin Lang.

The capital is so big and connected in all directions. In terms of experience, a day in the capital might be equivalent to a year spent elsewhere. Qin Lang's nature of traveling around the world would not change at all.

Therefore, before today, Qin Lang might have nodded to the princess's kind invitation.

But things are different now.

Qin Lang did not tell Su Yinping and Gu Jin that he was being targeted by the remnants of the Blood Knife Sect, because he was afraid of implicating them.

Even though they will have the status of first-class dignitaries after returning to the capital, the security arrangements will definitely be tighter than before.

But since ancient times, open guns are afraid of hidden arrows, especially the elder of the Blood Knife Sect. If he really wants to avenge the sect, then as the last person in the sect, he may have no scruples and may do anything.

Thinking about the worst possibility, Lao Deng chases Qin Lang all the way to the capital, and then lies dormant for ten or twenty years... Who can say for sure?
  So now, if this scourge is not dealt with, Qin Lang may not be able to follow Su Yinping to the capital with peace of mind.

……

"My lord."

"?"

However, just when Qin Lang was struggling, the governor suddenly stood up and bowed his hands respectfully towards Su Yinping.

Of course, she also heard with her own ears that Su Yinping actually called the man "lover", so she couldn't help but remind Su Yinping:

"Your Majesty, can you lend me a moment to speak?"

"..."

Su Yinping looked at Qin Lang and then at Gu Jin, with her hands on her belly and a solemn expression, she easily transformed into the temperament of everyone's daughter, and nodded:
  "The governor, please come this way."

"Your Highness, please."

Su Yinping walked more than ten steps toward the locust tree, with the governor following behind. He waited until Su Yinping stopped and then showed a troubled expression:

"Um...my lord, before coming here, the Holy Father gave you an oral instruction..."

"What did my sister say?"

"The Holy One said that when escorting the princess back to Beijing this time, no one else can be brought with her..."

"Why!?"

"Princess, please calm down. Princess, do you still remember the concubine that the Minister of Rites brought back to the capital from Liangzhou last year...?"

……

When the governor said this, the anger on Su Yinping's face dimmed and he opened his mouth to say nothing.

Last year, the Minister of Rites went to Liangzhou for work and brought a woman with him when he came back. It was not long before he was found to be an assassin. The empress scolded the ministers in the court and warned them not to be greedy for beauty.

This incident happened not long ago. As the empress's sister, if she takes the lead in lusting after beauty, it would be fine if nothing happens. But if something happens, it will be...

……

"But the Holy One has also said that it is rare for the princess to fall in love with a man. After the princess returns to the capital this time, she can also let him go to the capital alone. By then, the nature, statement, etc. will be different, and it will be easier to deal with. There are so many…”
