After rebirth, the Prime Minister's wife always wanted to leave her father behind and keep her

"Can you still climb over the wall? Do you want someone to open the door for you?" Cheng Songan asked, pursing his lips to observe his injuries.

Cui Yuanqing wanted to smile, but perhaps because he was injured too badly, his chest would ache if he smiled. He just moved the corners of his lips and said, "I won't die. There's no need to alarm anyone."

After Cheng Songan left the inn, he did not follow immediately because he went to the place where he posted his horse first. It was a serious crime to ride a horse fast on the street after curfew. He could only lead the horse and walk slowly to avoid attracting people from the Patrol Department. At this moment, his horse was tied at the back door.

Cui Yuanqing took out a porcelain bottle from his arms. He had been carrying life-saving medicine with him since the first day he started practicing martial arts. The same went for Si Tui. He uncorked the bottle with one hand, tilted his head back and poured something into his mouth, then continued to walk forward.

"You really care about Situi and don't treat him as a subordinate." Cheng Songan looked at his actions and said lightly.

He should have taken medicine the moment he was injured, but if he had done so, Situi would have felt even more guilty. He almost killed Cheng Songan by mistake and his hand was about to be broken. If he had known that Cui Yuanqing was already ill and unable to resist his palm, resulting in severe injuries, he didn't know what he would have done.

So, he endured it for so long, and only ate when he couldn't hold it anymore.

Cui Yuanqing did not answer, but said: "You have been in Cui Mansion for less than half a year, and you seem to know it very well. You even know the routes and times of the maids and guards' night patrols."

Cheng Songan paused. This guy was so injured, yet he was still so sharp. She replied calmly, "I have always had a good memory."

During this walk, she unconsciously held Cui Yuanqing's hand and acted as his guide for the first time, slowly leading him to the back door. She slowed down her pace and stopped to check his face every time she walked a distance, which made him realize that she was too familiar with the Cui Mansion.

Fortunately, Cui Yuanqing did not ask any further questions. The two of them walked forward in silence again, and finally climbed over the wall and rode on the same horse again.

This time, Cheng Songan still sat in the front, but Cui Yuanqing's arms behind her were no longer so strong, and he could only hold her waist with difficulty. His head rested on her shoulder, and his hot breath sprayed on her neck, making her feel itchy.

Cheng Songan found that Cui Yuanqing seemed to have been injured since she was reborn. Was he like this in his previous life? The year he fought with the local tyrants in Jiangnan, he must have suffered no less injuries than now, right?

"Don't worry." The person behind her whispered, as if to comfort her, but also like a feverish muttering, "We will find the second sister."

Cheng Songan wanted to nod, but when he thought about the people behind him who couldn't see him, he changed his tone to "hmm" and then asked, "Cui Yuanqing, what if Xue Tingyun wants to kill me? What if you don't kill me and she dies in front of you?"

Cui Yuanqing's hand on her waist trembled. This question was difficult to answer. He didn't like to speculate about things that didn't happen. But he still answered her: "As long as I am here, you won't die."

This implies that he would choose her, even if Xue Tingyun really threatened him with his life.

Cheng Songan was not as touched as she had expected. She was even more confused. Why didn't he show even one tenth of his love in the last life? If he could show even one tenth, she would tell him today without hesitation that the promise he made back then was still valid.

She was silent for a while, then asked, "What if it was Si Tui? What if she threatened you with Si Tui's life?"

Cui Yuanqing remained even more silent. He didn't want to remain silent because she had said that silence was equal to indulgence, but he had no way to answer her decisively.

Cheng Songan didn't know why, but she seemed to understand him better than in her previous life. He could give up Xue Tingyun, but he couldn't give up Situi. If she were in his shoes, and if Wanxin threatened her with his own life to kill Cui Yuanqing, she would also make such a difficult decision.

She didn't blame him.

"I'm just asking casually. After all, we are just old friends, right, Brother Situi?" Cheng Songan smiled, very relaxed. It was better this way, she didn't have to look back.

Cui Yuanqing was silent for a moment, then whispered in her ear, "I won't let anyone kill you."

Cheng Songan did not ask any more questions. The two of them continued walking in silence for a while. The sky gradually darkened. It was the darkness before dawn. The moon had completely disappeared. The vast earth was dead silent and no light could be seen.

Cheng Songan was instinctively a little scared, and Cui Yuanqing behind him kept muttering, "Yun Dai, don't be afraid."

Cheng Songan, don't be afraid, the darkness will eventually pass and dawn will soon come.

When the first faint light of the early morning hit her face, the scene in front of her suddenly became bright. The Fisherman and Woodcutter Villa was within reach, and the night had passed.

As expected, there was a red-maned horse parked in front of the villa. The man on the horse had just arrived and was staring at the plaque on the door that read "Think twice before acting" in a daze.

"Brother Lu, why did you come to my place so early in the morning?" Cheng Song'an stopped his horse and saw the man. His guess was confirmed, and his inner anxiety was reduced a lot.

Her horse walked very steadily and lightly. Lu Qingshan was so absorbed in his thoughts that only when people came up to him and asked him about it did he look over as if he had just woken up from a dream.

Cheng Songan was wearing a purple robe for men, smiling at him in the morning sun, like a willow branch that had just sprouted, very pleasing to the eye. What made people's eyes hurt was that there was someone sitting behind her, hugging her waist tightly, and seemed to be asleep. It was easy to tell who he was.

Lu Qingshan had not appeared in front of her since he had impulsively fought a battle outside the city gate. He looked thinner these days, with a light stubble on his chin, and looked quite unruly, which was more in line with his previous image of a dandy boy.

He looked at Cui Yuanqing's hand, feeling very unhappy, and said in a calm voice: "Since my sister calls me brother, it is only proper for me to come to the villa to visit her. I wonder where you took Minister Cui last night?"

Cheng Songan felt a little cold in her heart, and her smile was somewhat sad. She pointed at the rising sun and said, "The location on the hill over there is excellent, but it's a little remote. I asked Lord Cui to accompany me to watch the sunrise. What do you think, brother?"

"Watch the sunrise, haha, watch the sunrise." Lu Qingshan repeated it twice. He felt that the nameless fire of karma was about to burn him to lose his mind. She forgave him so quickly. She promised not to look back.

"Cheng Songan, I would rather you choose Ming Zhan!"

Cheng Songan's eyelashes trembled. She had chosen Ming Zhan, but the result was not what she wanted. Instead, she hurt him.

"If Lord Lu has anything to report, you'd better go back and write it as soon as possible." Cui Yuanqing woke up at some point and replied coldly.

Lu Qingshan looked back at him, and the two of them exchanged glances in silence.

In the villa, the servant who brought the news came out and saw Cheng Songan and Cui Yuanqing coming back. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, opened the door and let the people in.

Cui Yuanqing got off his horse first, walked to the door as if to declare his sovereignty, and looked back at Cheng Songan.

Cheng Songan: "I have something to say to Lord Lu."
