"It turns out that the person that Mr. Xiao wants to see is not the county chief!"

"Jieyou? How come this name sounds like the name of a little brat!"

A few words awakened the dreamer, and everyone's eyes were filled with astonishment.

It turns out that Young Master Xiao really likes men and forced him to marry because the Xiao family did not allow him to hang out with that man!

Xiao Yan stood on the city wall, looking at the people talking about it below, with a sad smile on his lips.

He continued to speak louder: "In the past, I was cowardly and confused, and did not dare to put down my identity and face to look for him. Now I have figured it out. It is better to follow my true heart and suffer for those imaginary things.

Fortunately...the wedding between me and Hua Liuniang has not yet happened, and I have never touched her, so I have lived up to Ayou!"

After hearing Xiao Yan's words, everyone was in an uproar again.

"It turns out that Mr. Xiao likes someone else. The county master must be too pitiful..."

"Yes, I did hear that Young Master Xiao didn't even enter the bridal chamber on the day he married the county lord, and left the Xiao Mansion directly!"

"Then the county master is still innocent!"

Someone became suspicious again: "Then why did Mrs. Xiao go to find the county master just now?"

"Maybe it's because I want to help Mr. Xiao cover up his reputation as a broken sleeve!"

"This... this is so shameless. I've already ruined her once, and I'm going to ruin her a second time! Fortunately, I thought they were a good match just now!"

Hearing these discussions, the smile on Xiao Yan's face became bigger and bigger, but this time it was not a bitter smile, he was really happy.

The cold wind was biting, and patches of white snow were floating in the sky.

Xiao Yan's gaze fell on the familiar face in the crowd through the snowflakes, and his eyes softened.

Fortunately, he still saw her and had no regrets in this life.

This is the only thing he can do for Liu Niang.

He no longer cares about his reputation, so he might as well trade it for her future well-being.

He looked at her from a distance and said silently: Keep it.

Hua Qianqian under the city wall looked at Xiao Yan like this, and her beautiful eyebrows slowly frowned.

This is not what she wants to see.

Why must you make yourself so scarred!

She silently said "take care" in her heart, turned around and disappeared into the crowd.

…

Xiao Yan did not jump down from the tower, and was finally rescued from the tower by people from the Wucheng Army and Horses Division.

But at night, he disappeared from the Xiao Mansion. Mrs. Xiao sent many people to look for him but could not find any trace of Xiao Yan.

When Xiao Zhengqi heard about what happened on the city tower, he was so angry that he removed Xiao Yan's name from the family tree and locked up Mrs. Xiao, not allowing her to find anyone again.

Whether Xiao Yan lives or dies has nothing to do with the Xiao Mansion!

Mrs. Xiao fell ill all of a sudden. She didn't understand why she had helped Yan'er plan everything, but it ended up like this...

Hua Qianqian didn't know any of this.

That night, she didn't sleep well. When she woke up, she saw someone standing next to her.

She sat up and felt a little sore.

"Miss, you finally woke up!"

Qiutao ran over with a bowl of medicine and handed it to Hua Qianqian.

"You developed a high fever in the middle of the night yesterday. Fortunately, the prince came, otherwise I would not know what to do!"

After saying that, Qiutao's face turned strangely red.

Just when Hua Qianqian couldn't figure out why Qiutao was shy, she felt the taste of soup in her mouth.

But she didn't remember that she drank medicine last night.

She raised her head and looked at the man who had been sitting silently by the bed. After thinking of a possibility, her face turned red.

Li Yuan coughed twice, then took the medicine bowl from Qiu Tao's hand, and said to Qiu Tao: "I'll do it, please step back."

When he spoke, there was still a faint medicinal fragrance lingering between his lips and teeth.

Qiutao handed the medicine bowl to Li Yuan, turned around and ran away with a blushing face.

Li Yuan looked very calm on the surface, but his neck was already red.

It's just that he didn't take off his mask today, and Hua Qianqian couldn't see his expression.

After Qiutao left, Li Yuan took the bowl, took out a spoonful of medicine and carefully fed it to Hua Qianqian.

The two of them were silent, and no one spoke. It was not until Hua Qianqian finished drinking the medicine that Li Yuan took out a pack of candied fruits and handed it to her.

"He came to see me last night."

Li Yuan's deep and sweet voice sounded in Hua Qianqian's ears, and it took Hua Qianqian a long while to figure out who he was talking about.

"He left Kyoto. As for where he went, he didn't say anything. I gave him an Angong Pill. He should be able to survive."

Li Yuan did not tell Hua Qianqian, but Xiao Yan told him that if he could not take good care of Qianqian, he would not let him go.

Naturally, he would not give Xiao Yan this chance, so these words fell on deaf ears.

Hua Qianqian turned to look at Li Yuan and nodded lightly.

The wild crossing is full of greenery, and I don’t know how to relieve my worries.

How could she not hear the origin of the word "Jieyou"?

Maybe if you forget your past, this worry will be resolved.

Leaving Kyoto was a good thing for Xiao Yan. He could forget the things that happened in the past, change his name, and start his own life again.

She will never let Uncle Yongning go. It would be better for Xiao Yan to leave than to fight against each other in the future.

After withdrawing her thoughts, Hua Qianqian looked towards Li Yuan again.

"You, do you have something you want to tell me?"

Li Yuan's attitude today is really strange. No, he has been a bit silent since they met yesterday.

Hua Qianqian had a bad premonition in her heart, and this feeling made her feel inexplicably flustered.

Sure enough, after asking this question, Li Yuan couldn't help but shake the jade hand on his lap.

After a moment of silence, he said: "I planned to send people to pick up my adoptive father back to Beijing two days ago, but I received news yesterday that there was no news about my adoptive father at any of the inns along the way..."

Hearing these words, Hua Qianqian's eyes suddenly shrank.

There is no news about my uncle at the inn, which means that he has not taken an official career... He may be missing!

"Don't worry. Maybe my adoptive father took a shortcut back to Beijing after receiving the news. I have already sent people to look for him. If there is any news, he will tell me as soon as possible!"

Although Hua Qianqian is anxious, she also knows that she can't do anything right now.

She tried hard to recall what happened at this time in her previous life. She only remembered that envoys from various countries came to Kyoto to pay tribute not long ago, and she did not expect to be able to contact her uncle.

"Don't tell my grandmother and aunt that my second cousin is participating in a martial arts competition today. If you know about it, I'm afraid it will affect his performance."

Of course, Li Yuan also knew that telling Mrs. Li and the others about this would only cause them more trouble.

If Qianqian wasn't too sensitive and smart, he wouldn't want her to know.

…

In a cave deep in the Yanfeng Mountains, Li Liang Yi pulled a piece of cloth from his clothes and tied his injured arm tightly. Then, he used the same technique to bandage the wound of the young man beside him.

The young man has slightly curly hair and is very handsome. The color of his eyes is different from that of Da Fengren, with a light blue tint.
