Too many things happened today. What Yan Qinghan said to me was indeed beyond my expectations and shocked me. But I wonder if it was because of the shock that it made me calmer in the end and could face everything I learned today rationally.

There was a contradiction that immediately appeared in front of me.

Why did my mother leave such a weapon?

If those Florida cannons did fall into her hands, if the mother was unwilling to let it appear on the battlefield and cause disaster, if the mother was indeed determined not to let anyone use it... Then why didn't she destroy those Florida cannons directly?

Just by using the other way to do it, the artillery cannons are so lethal. The best way to destroy them is to use their own destructive power. Isn’t that all the time being done?

Why do you have to spend so much money on building ships, hoarding food, and even hire many seafarers to go out to sea to hide the cannons?

This is really not something a calm and rational woman like her mother would do.

But……

When I recalled Yan Qinghan found the translucent soft handkerchief, the frivolous eyes and the wrinkles between my eyebrows became deeper. If it weren't for hiding the cannons, I could not explain why my mother had to spend all her life savings and use her almost wealthy property to make a purposeless journey.

She is indeed not a targetless person.

There are too many contradictory aspects about this matter and too many suspicious things.

My mother left me two important things, but during the years I lived with me, she didn't tell me any words about these things. Did she want me to know or not?

Too many doubts, like silk that has been twisting around, entangling the truth of the matter.

If you want to know the truth, you need to peel off your silk and draw a cocoon.

But--

Just when I was worried, Li'er on the bed seemed to be very relaxed. She turned over and fell asleep with her back. She didn't know what good thing she saw in her dream. Her little mouth, which lacked a tooth, cracked and smiled stupidly, but made me feel so happy.

I even saw a little bit of her teeth appearing, which was a small, tender white teeth.

My daughter, her toddler, was not able to accompany her, but now, at least from now on, I can accompany her and experience all the ups and downs in her life.

Compared to such happiness, what are those things?

Thinking of this, I bent down, gently kissed Li'er's forehead, and got up and left.

Today's wedding banquet has a beginning and no end, and even the large banquet that had been prepared before has been withdrawn. It was still early, and there were still some people in the inner house busy, and when they saw me, all the servants saluted me carefully.

I asked casually, "Where is Yan Qingchen?"

"If you want to go back to the lady, the head of the family is in the meeting hall."

"oh."

Council Room...

Even if I couldn't get over, I knew what they were talking about. I just shook my head and sighed, and didn't say much, turned around and walked towards the other side.

I was also walking aimlessly, thinking about things in my mind, but when I looked up, I found that I had arrived at the east wing.

The one who bumped into him head-on was Du Yan with a cold face.

When he saw me, he was stunned for a moment.

I knew he was not used to talking to people, so I spoke first, walked up and said, "Mr. Du, it's been a long time since I saw you."

He glanced at me cautiously, and still saluted me respectfully: "Sir."

I raised my eyebrows and looked at him - sir?

He didn't make any explanation, he just lowered his head.

Although it is inconvenient to deal with such a tacit person, it has an advantage, which is that you can force yourself to think more and think more - he is a martial artist, and there are not as many roundabout ways as literati. If he calls me an adult, it proves that I am really an "adult".

It seems that my official position has not been removed yet.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but smile faintly, and my smile was somewhat cold.

However, when talking to him, I was still very polite: "I'll have worked hard this time."

He glanced at me: "Not bitter."

"What happened today is a sudden thing. You were not injured, are you?"

"Shu seems to be full of flowers, but in fact there are many dangers. You'd better be careful."

"Thank you."

"By the way, where is Mr. Liu now?"

"have no idea."

“…”

Although I knew that being taciturn was his nature, I couldn't hold back after a few words. Judging from his serious appearance, I didn't seem to feel that there was any problem at all.

I'm going to be a big deal today.

Thinking of this, I smiled angrily, waved at him, and walked over to him.

But as soon as I walked over, my steps hesitated again.

"Shuixiu and the others--"

I said, turning around, and as soon as I turned around, I immediately regretted it.

Because when I turned around, I saw that he was also looking at me as if he wanted to speak but stopped.

Maybe if you bear it for a while, you will be able to speak first.

I felt a little disappointed and felt that I was childish and ridiculous, but Du Yan obviously couldn't notice the complicated feeling in my heart at this moment. After only a pause, he immediately replied: "She is okay."

"Where is she now?"

"Jingren Palace."

"Where is Madam Wu?"

“At the same.”

"..." It seems that Chang Qing was still protecting them. I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but seeing that Du Yan seemed to have something to say, I didn't ask any questions anymore, but looked at him quietly.

He looked at me, and was open-minded: "I want to marry her."

“…”

Although this matter is reasonable, this sentence is obviously beyond my expectations.

I choked up before looking at him: "Do you want to marry - Shui Xiu?"

"yes."

I subconsciously said, "That little Fuzi--"

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Impossible."

"Shui Xiushe—"

"I will make meritorious service." He said without waiting for me to ask anything else, "Then, please give me kindness to the queen."

“…”

This time, I don't know what to ask.

There is no such precedent in the harem. It is common for the emperor and empress to reward palace maids to those who have made meritorious services. I probably understand why Du Yan, the Imperial Guard, suddenly appeared among the people who escorted Wu Yanqiu this time, because he wanted to make meritorious services.

Thinking of this, I recall the girl who was originally smiling heartlessly, but in the years that followed, her eyebrows and eyes gradually became stained with sorrow, and her heart couldn't help but feel a little sore.

In fact, after knowing Du Yan’s intentions, I also advised Shui Xiu. After all, for a palace maid, such a result can be considered good, but now that Du Yan has started to act, I don’t know whether this matter is good or bad for Shui Xiu.

Is this really what she wants?

I raised my head, looked at him with a complicated expression, and said, "Why did you tell me?"

"She has always respected you." Du Yan said: "She is willing to listen to your words."

I smiled bitterly.

She is willing to listen to my words, of course, but my words may not be correct.

Even my life may not be right.

Thinking of this, I only sighed softly and said, "I have known about your affairs for a long time, and I have told her a long time ago. If one day, I will not take credit for you; if things fail, don't be sad."

He was silent for a moment, looked at me and said, "It will be done."

“…”

"Goodbye."

After saying that, he raised his hand and bowed, then turned around and left. I thought about it and called him again: "Du Yan, where is Lord Liu?"

He looked back at me, frowned unconsciously, as if he was a little dissatisfied with what I questioned him, but he still said solemnly: "I don't know."

“…”

After he finished speaking, he had already turned around and left without going back, but I was a little surprised.

Wu Yanqiu brought Du Yan and the others here, so of course he should be in the same order as Liu Qinghan's actions. After all, their current situation is in a variety of crises, but Du Yan doesn't look like he is lying. He really doesn't know where Liu Qinghan has gone.
