The group of people kept walking and arrived at Anyang Mountain in the evening of the second day.
Qin Zhen jumped off the carriage and felt that all the bones in her body were about to fall apart.
She left her followers behind and found a quiet place to rest on her own.
She found a high ground and looked down to see people setting up camp in full swing. Tents rose from the ground and slowly spread, stretching for dozens of miles.
At some point, a person suddenly sat down next to her and didn't speak.
Qin Zhen waited for a while, but couldn't help it anymore. She turned her head and looked at Lou Yan who was sitting next to her: "You are becoming more and more mute."
Since Lou Shulan passed away, Lou Yan has become more and more taciturn.
Normally, you can at least hum a few times, but now you can only shake your head and nod. Sometimes you don't even move your head, just looking at you with a pair of frosty eyes.
I heard from Linglong that the Third Prince's Mansion is now surrounded by dark clouds, and everyone is in danger. They are afraid of doing something wrong, and they are even more afraid that they will misunderstand their master's eyes if they don't understand it.
Qin Zhen was very sympathetic to this.
After all, it's difficult to get along with a mute.
Lou Yan glanced at her and said as if giving charity: "What are you thinking about?"
Qin Zhen stared at the tents below and said leisurely: "I'm thinking about what to eat tonight! I want to eat roast lamb, I wonder if there is any."
Lou Yan: "..."
Qin Zhen looked back at him: "What about you, what are you thinking about?"
Lou Yan: "I didn't think about anything."
Qin Zhen stared at him for a while and suddenly said: "Xiao Yao came to me yesterday and said something."
Lou Yan's eyes moved slightly, but he didn't say a word.
Qin Zhen didn't expect him to talk to her, so she said to herself: "He said that the queen's health has become worse and worse recently. She has been coughing all day long and has low energy. She looks very similar to the previous empress Shu. He also looked for
I want someone, and I hope Doctor Murong can come and diagnose the Queen's pulse."
Lou Yan's eyes turned cold and his face showed no expression.
Qin Zhen's eyes fell on Lou Yan's face and said slowly: "Do you think this is too coincidental? The Queen's illness is similar to that of Concubine Shu."
Lou Yan looked back at her: "What do you want to say?"
Qin Zhen smiled: "I've finished what I wanted to say."
Lou Yan withdrew his gaze and quietly watched the people below busy.
Qin Zhen stopped looking at him, and the two stayed quietly for a while. Qin Zhen stood up and said, "I'm going back."
Before leaving, Qin Zhen suddenly said: "Yesterday, Xiao Yao suddenly asked me, how is the third prince? Guess how I should answer?"
Lou Yan stared at her and asked, "How do you answer?"
Qin Zhen smiled: "I said, a mute."
After saying that, he stood up and walked away quickly.
Lou Yan stood there and said softly: "Xiao Yao...he is quite smart."
In the past, I only thought of him as a dandy who only knew how to eat, drink and have fun, but now it seems that I have underestimated him.
Lou Yan kept following Qin Zhen. When he saw her jumping down the mountain and blending into the crowd, he got up and followed her down.
When I walked to the prince, I happened to hear the prince making arrangements for today's dinner.
Lou Yan paused for a moment, stepped forward and said to the prince, "How about roasting sheep?"
Xiao Jue glanced at him and said nothing.
Lou Yan said calmly: "Your Majesty has never tasted any delicacies from the mountains and seas in the palace. I can get a roasted lamb to give you a fresh taste."
Xiao Jue pondered for a moment, then turned his head and told the people around him: "Do as the third prince said."
After that, he turned around and left without even looking at Lou Yan.
Lou Yan didn't care, just like a clay figure with no temper, he followed the prince step by step and obeyed his orders.
In the evening, there was indeed a roast lamb dish at the dinner.
However, everyone ate separately. The emperor and several princes and princesses were together, and the others took care of themselves.
Lou Yan wrapped up the roasted lamb on his table and asked Linglong to take it to the main camp of Anshun County.
Linglong crouched and took advantage of the darkness to sneak into Qin Zhen's tent.
She carefully took out the wrapped mutton from her arms and said, "Princess, eat quickly, it's still warm."
Qin Zhen looked at Linglong dumbfounded: "What are you..."
"The Third Highness asked your slave to bring it," Linglong smiled and opened the paper on the table, revealing the golden and crispy lamb inside: "The Third Highness didn't touch a bite, he asked the slave to bring it all."
Qin Zhen: "..."
She just mentioned it casually, but she never thought that Lou Yan would take it seriously.
Although he is mute, his ears are sharp.
Qin Zhen stared at the mutton for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said to Linglong: "Go back and tell your highness that I accepted the mutton and owe him a favor."
Linglong smiled and said, "As long as the princess likes it."
She didn't dare to stay here for a long time, for fear of being discovered, so she left quietly after the things were delivered.
Qin Zhen sat in the tent and stared at the mutton for a long time before picking up her chopsticks and taking a bite.
Mutton is delicious and Qin Zhen likes it.
She took two bites and couldn't help laughing again.
She imagined Xialou Yan wearing an expressionless face but secretly hiding his flesh.
That must be fun.
Perhaps because the mutton was so delicious, Qin Zhen rarely slept through the night, and it was already dawn when she woke up.
There was a lot of noise outside, people shouting, it was so lively.
She got up to wash up, changed into a light riding outfit, carried a riding crop and left the camp.
She didn't learn much martial arts in Longhu Mountain, but her equestrian skills were pretty good.
As soon as they left the camp, they saw a group of people gathering at the main tent from a distance. Qin Zhen walked over with a riding whip.
After pushing through the crowd and rushing to the very back, I found several princes already riding tall horses and getting ready to go.
There were also some young men from aristocratic families accompanying him.
Xiao Chengye also changed his riding clothes and was surrounded by everyone. He smiled with squinted eyes and was in a good mood. Beside him was the tall Qin Hong.
As the commander of the Imperial Guard, it is his duty to protect the emperor.
Seeing that everyone was about to leave, Qin Zhen rushed forward with a riding crop and shouted: "Father, I'm going too."
Xiao Chengye and Qin Hong turned to look over at the same time.
Qin Hong had some disapproval in his eyes, while Xiao Chengye smiled.
Xiao Chengye glanced at Qin Hong and then said to Qin Zhen: "This is no joke."
Qin Zhen: "Who said I was just for fun? Let me go, I will hunt a fox to make a scarf for Your Majesty."
Xiao Chengye raised his eyebrows and turned his head to look at Qin Hong.
Qin Hong frowned: "Zhenzhen, don't be ridiculous!"
"Oh, father, just let me go. I'm almost going to get sick from holding it in at home all day." Qin Zhen blinked and said, "You know, my riding skills are pretty good."
Qin Hong couldn't stop his daughter from acting coquettishly, so he went to see Xiao Chengye again: "Your Majesty, look..."
Xiao Chengye laughed and said, "Since she wants to go, let her go!"
Qin Hong breathed a sigh of relief and shouted: "Zhao Qing, follow her."
Zhao Qing responded and came to Qin Zhen's side, staring at her and smiling.
Qin Zhen glanced at him, got on her horse and said, "Don't laugh yet, the fun is yet to come!"
