Ling Hua was startled and looked up abruptly.
Yan Qing's eyes were calm and unrippled, like the surface of a tranquil lake, seemingly discussing the most ordinary of matters without the faintest hint of any other implication.
Ling Hua tentatively asked, "You mean, you want to go with me to Jiangnan?"
She truly hadn't planned on taking Yan Qing with her from the Capital to Jiangnan, or else when His Majesty asked if she would be reluctant to be separated from her newlywed spouse for too long, she would not have resolutely refused to bring Yan Qing with her to Jiangnan.
Every time she left the Capital, she would encounter assassins along the way, never getting a moment's peace. And this year, with Xiao Ze being driven into a corner, his attacks would only become fiercer. He did not want Yan Qing to follow him and endure such peril.
