Exclusive to you

In fact, as assassins of the Dark Guard, one of their rules is that they are not allowed to have romantic relationships, as romantic relationships will hinder them from carrying out their missions. Therefore, all the members of the Dark Guard are orphans with no relatives or connections.

After all, only if you have no weaknesses can you be free from worries.

Those who violate the rules will be punished by the Dark Guards. Qiu Shuang felt a chill down her spine just thinking about that punishment.

But she would not tell the princess that having the princess' support was enough. She was willing to bear all the consequences. After all, she was the one who broke the rules first.

Qiu Shuang nodded again, her eyes firm.

………………

After arranging everything and preparing to return to the Celestial Empire, the mighty team had already set off first, while Leng Aotian, An Yuanyuan and others who were going by water had to go to another direction to take a boat. An Yuanyuan did not take a carriage, but rode on the same horse with Leng Aotian, and was protected in Leng Aotian's arms.

An Yuanyuan looked back at the place where she had lived for nearly a year. She usually felt that every day here was like a year, very boring, very dull, and there was no freedom. The longer she stayed here, the more she missed her days in China. Now that she was really leaving here and returning to China, which she had been thinking about day and night, she should be happy, but at this moment, she inexplicably felt a little reluctant.

"Reluctant?"

A man's magnetic voice came to my ears.

"Leng Aotian, after we return to the Celestial Empire, will we come back here after the New Year?"

"Do you want to come back here?"

"I don't want to, but I want to follow you." She didn't like long-distance relationships, and she didn't like living apart after marriage. So she had decided that she would follow Leng Aotian wherever he went.

"Well, Yuan'er, if you don't want to, then don't come." After saying that, without waiting for An Yuanyuan's response, he hugged her, kicked the horse's belly and left.

An Yuanyuan was a little confused about what he meant, but she didn't ask any more questions. She would go wherever he went anyway, and he couldn't get rid of her.

When they arrived at the dock, An Yuanyuan was carried off the horse by Leng Aotian, and they saw a group of people who had been waiting for a while not far away walking towards them.

"princess"

An Yuanyuan heard someone calling her and turned around to see that it was Meng Lijun. She hadn't seen her for a while and she was indeed as thin and haggard as Li Qiuge said. Her eyes had also become dull. Although she felt distressed, as an outsider, it was inconvenient for her to interfere in the emotional problems of other couples. She smiled and reached out to hold her hand. "We haven't seen each other for a long time. You look thinner. It's the hardest to take care of the injured. You must have suffered a lot these days."

This sentence resolved Meng Lijun's embarrassment. Meng Lijun knew that the scandal between her and her husband had been known to everyone. Even Mrs. Li and Mrs. Feng's eyes changed when they saw her. They were not contemptuous but sympathetic. The tone of their speech also changed, as if they were deliberately avoiding certain topics and not chatting as freely as before. She knew that everyone had good intentions and didn't want her to feel too bad, but when she saw the sympathy in the eyes of other women, she felt even more pathetic.

But the princess' eyes were still as clear and transparent as ever, and it really made people feel comfortable to see this expression at this moment.

"It was a bit hard, but it's all over. Princess, I came to thank you. I didn't have time before. I ate all the cakes and dried meat you sent. They were delicious, especially the dried meat. The more I chewed, the more delicious it became. I even saved some for snacks when I got bored on the road."

"I'm glad you like it. I also like to eat that jerky. I still have some here. If you like it, I'll have someone send you some more later."

"No need, princess. I left some for you. It's enough to eat."

"Okay then. Have you all gone in and taken a look?"

An Yuanyuan said this to the three people. Li Qiuge and Feng Meiqin also came up to An Yuanyuan shortly after Meng Lijun.

The three of them shook their heads and said, "Princess, we just arrived and haven't gone in yet. We have to wait for the general to make arrangements."

An Yuanyuan looked at Li Qiuge, who was pregnant and waiting on the shore in the wind. It was still winter and the wind was strong on the river bank, so she said to Chunyu behind her, "Go and tell Leng Aotian to hurry up. Madam Li is pregnant and it's not suitable for her to be in the wind for a long time."

"Yes."

"This ship is so big and beautiful." It's just like the ancient-style ships you see on TV.

An Yuanyuan was chatting with the three ladies.

"I think it's beautiful too. This is my first time taking a boat." Li Qiuge responded with a smile.

"It's my first time too." Meng Lijun and Feng Meiqi also spoke up.

After a while, Leng Aotian came over, followed by three other generals and Ampere Sheng.

"Slow down." Seeing An Yuanyuan running towards him, he hurriedly walked up to her and held her hand.

An Yuanyuan looked at An Peisheng behind him and said, "Brother Wang, are you feeling better?"

"You're feeling better now. It's time to go home. Are you happy?" Ampereson walked up to her and rubbed her head.

"Well, happy."

"Okay, get in the boat, the wind is strong."

"Okay." An Yuanyuan waved to An Peisheng and turned around with Leng Aotian. Just after taking two steps out, she was stopped by An Peisheng.

"Yuan'er" Amperesheng shouted at An Yuanyuan's back.

"Huh? What's wrong?"

"Brother Wang will give you a big red envelope when he gets home."

"Okay." An Yuanyuan smiled and didn't think much about it. She just thought that the New Year would be coming soon when she returned, so she had to give her a New Year red envelope.

Leng Aotian held An Yuanyuan's hand and looked at everyone.

"You can choose from those boats. One boat for each family." After Leng Aotian said this, he took the lead and took An Yuanyuan to the first boat.

An Yuanyuan waved to the three ladies and followed them onto the boat.

In addition to the three generals, Ampereson and some guards also traveled by water.

I counted seven ships in total. It was a spectacular sight to see seven such large ships lined up side by side.

An Yuanyuan didn't care about how it was distributed, nor did she care which ship her brother was on. Anyway, she didn't need to worry about these things.

After An Yuanyuan stepped onto the boat, she looked around like Granny Liu visiting a large estate, and found everything new. This was the first time she had been on a boat in her two lifetimes.

Leng Aotian followed closely behind her, smiling at the little woman's curiosity about everything, his doting eyes were so charming that they could be drawn.

"Leng Aotian, where is our bedroom?"

"Princess, your bedroom with the master is at the back, please follow me." Long Si took over An Yuanyuan's words and gestured for them to go to the back. Long Si was responsible for all these things, so he had first understood the internal structure of the ship.

"Long Si, you are amazing. You chose a great ship. I must give you a bonus."

After looking at her own bedroom, An Yuanyuan was even more satisfied and turned around to give Long Si a thumbs up.

Long Si thought that the princess was going to add more food to her meal. He thanked her directly.

After everyone's belongings were loaded up and ready, the ship started.
