When he saw the spirit stone without any warning, Shen Qian Ling felt a bit mixed up.

However, the fur ball was very happy and opened its wings and chirped vigorously.

Old Lady Xiao smiled and took out the black jade and put it on the table, the fur ball immediately twisted and jumped over to it, using its little paws to poke around.

Shen Qian Ling said, “I…”

“Thank you, Madam.” Before he could finish his sentence, Qin Shao Yu interrupted and gave him a gentle squeeze on the back of his waist.

Shen Qian Ling: ……

“This bead was originally a trophy, but I kept it because I saw it was quite round, so I gave it to this little thing today.” Old Lady Xiao laughed, “It is a blessing for me to see the phoenix in person in my lifetime.”

“Chirp!” The fur ball pressed the bead under its belly, obviously very, very fond of it.

Shen Qian Ling could only say, “Thank you, old madame.”

“It’s useless to leave it with me, so I feel good about giving it to it.” The old lady teased the fur ball with her finger and asked casually, “Where did you find this little thing?”

Qin Shao Yu was shamelessly fluent, “Ling-er gave birth to it.”

“What nonsense!” Shen Qian Ling was dumbfounded and said to Old Lady Xiao, “It was given to me by my master.”

“You still have a master?” Old Lady Xiao was surprised by this.

“Yes.” Shen Qian Ling nodded his head, “Although my master didn’t teach me martial arts, he treated me very well.”

“It is normal for him not to teach you martial arts.” Old Lady Xiao nodded her head, “Then did he teach you to transform or to refine pills?”

Shen Qian Ling: ……

It’s not even that!

Qin Shao Yu laughed until his stomach hurt.

“What kind of god is your master?” Old Lady Xiao was still asking.

Shen Qian Ling held on to the last shred of hope and said, “My master is Zhen Xing Dou.”

“He is?” Old Lady Xiao was shocked.

“Yes!” Shen Qian Ling nodded his head vigorously, a mortal!

“I told you he’s always talking like a god, but he’s not human.” Old Lady Xiao lamented.

Shen Qian Ling was in tears, not only had he failed to clear his name, he had even dragged Master down with him!

In the future, he would be expelled from his master’s discipline, which was particularly tragic.

“Madam.” The butler said at the door, “The meal is ready.”

“Let’s go, let’s eat.” Old Lady Xiao happily stood up and took Shen Qian Ling’s hand warmly.

Furball crouched on the table and chirped, gesturing for his dad to remember to get the beads.

“Little wealthy boy.” Qin Shao Yu knocked its head and put the beads into a brocade bag.

The hairy ball tossed its head bashfully, everywhere it went someone gave it a gift, and the bird’s life was very splendid.

“Mother, Master Qin.” Xiao Jie was already waiting in the dining room, and when he saw them enter, he rushed to greet them, “Is this Shen Gongzi?”

“Yes.” Shen Qian Ling nodded, “Governor Xiao.”

“Sit down.” Xiao Jie himself pulled out a chair, “These are all home-cooked dishes, so please don’t mind if Lord Qin and Shen Gongzi.”

“Governor Xiao is very kind.” Shen Qian Ling looked at the large table of dishes in front of him, and although his expression was calm, he wanted to eat them.

Roast leg of lamb or something.

“I have also prepared something special for you.” Old Lady Xiao was very thoughtful.

Shen Qian Ling was flattered, “This is already very good.”

“I know you don’t like this mundane stuff.” Old Lady Xiao pulled him down and immediately a maid placed a plate with a large porcelain bowl in front of him.

Shen Qian Ling was embarrassed, what do you mean you don’t like this mundane stuff, in fact, I especially like it!

“Open it and take a look.” Old Lady Xiao gestured.

Shen Qian Ling hesitantly lifted the lid and saw a big bowl of water inside, not even a single green onion, it was simply crystal clear.

The fur ball squatted on his father’s shoulder and stretched his neck to take a look, and also looked at Shen Xiao Shou with a very sympathetic look.

“This is good stuff.” Old Lady Xiao patted his hand.

Shen Qian Ling was in tears, who is she bluffing about this, I am not stupid, I want to eat the leg of lamb.

“This is made from the Northwest Wang Guihua.” Old Lady Xiao said.

Shen Qian Ling was confused, “Who is Wang Guihua?”

“The Wang Guihua is not a human being.” Qin Shao Yu explained to him, “It is a flower that blooms in the desert and is very rare.”

“The nectar of this flower is as clear as you.” Old Lady Xiao said, “Try it.”

Although he had no interest in the honey water, Shen Qian Ling obediently picked up the bowl and took a sip.

“How is it?” Old Lady Xiao’s eyes were filled with anticipation.

Shen Qian Ling was very good, “It tastes good.” In fact, it was just sugar water!

“I knew you would like it.” Old Lady Xiao was very happy and said to Qin Shao Yu, ” Specially made for you the secret leg of lamb and the eight treasures stuffed tripe, have some more.”

“Thank you, Old Lady Xiao.” Qin Shao Yu picked up his chopsticks.

Shen Qian Ling’s heart was filled with resentment, why could he eat the secret leg of lamb when he could only drink water?

He didn’t even share the pain and suffering.

Shen Xiao Shou took another big gulp of water in anger!

Qin Shao Yu used a knife to peel a piece of meat, dipped it in cumin and salt, and passed it to his mouth, “Eat it.”

Shen Qian Ling glanced at Old Lady Xiao – you won’t be unhappy if I eat it, will you?

Old Lady Xiao immediately complained to Qin Shao Yu, “What’s the point of giving him meat for a good reason.”

Shen Xiao Shou’s grief flowed backwards, in fact, I especially wanted to eat it.

“Since you are my person, naturally you have to learn to eat the same as me.” Qin Shao Yu squeezed his mouth open and fed the meat into it, “Eat more and you will get used to it.”

Shen Qian Ling almost burst into tears, it was very delicious.

“Men shouldn’t get too used to it.” Old Lady Xiao admonished Shen Qian Ling, “If you don’t want to eat it, just refuse it.”

“Yes.” Shen Qian Ling nodded obediently and opened his mouth to eat another piece of meat.

The surrounding maids were all moved, this was a wonderful scene, even more, wonderful than in the books!

It’s even better than the one in the books!

After the meal, Shen Qian Ling’s belly was round and his heart was full as he bid farewell to Old Lady Xiao and walked back hand in hand with Qin Shao Yu.

In times of war, the people would rest after an early meal, so there were not many people on the streets, and the moon was bright and quiet.

“Hang on.” Shen Qian Ling rubbed his stomach.

“I told you that you were a piglet.” Qin Shao Yu laughed, “A big bowl of water with so much mutton, it’s strange if you don’t feel full.”

“It’s delicious.” Shen Qian Ling said, “Originally, I didn’t want to drink that bowl of water.” But as it was too much for her, I had to drink it.

“The best thing you’ve had from this meal is the bowl of water.” Qin Shao Yu knocked on his head, “The Wang Guihua can regulate the breath and detoxify the poison, I searched for it alone in the desert for three months back then, but could not find a single one.”

“So precious?” Shen Qian Ling was surprised and then curious, “What are you looking for it for?”

Qin Shao Yu said fluently, “To sell it for money.”

Shen Qian Ling was dissatisfied, “Don’t change the subject!”

“Selling money is a digression?” Qin Shao Yu looked at him and smiled, “Naturally the Shadow Chasing Palace needs to make money, there are so many people to feed.”

“There is indeed money to be made, but you wouldn’t use such a stupid method to make money and waste three months of your time for nothing.” Shen Qian Ling was very serious, “Tell the truth!”

“That’s a good use of your brain.” Qin Shao Yu raised the corners of his mouth, “Do you remember when I was poisoned trying to save Yin Wushuang?”

“Yes.” Shen Qian Ling nodded, “But you said it didn’t matter.”

“Yes, it doesn’t matter, but it’s better to cure it if possible.” Qin Shao Yu said, “The only antidote to the miasma in Ghost City is the Wang Guihua, but unfortunately I have been unable to find it.”

“You didn’t say so earlier.” Shen Qian Ling was anxious, “The bowl of water–“

“The nectar is useless to me.” Qin Shao Yu interrupted him, “The flower root is the antidote.”

“Then why don’t we go and ask Old Lady Xiao?” Shen Qian Ling added, “Since she has the nectar, she must know where the flowers are.”

Qin Shao Yu shook his head, “I asked her once before, but Old Lady Xiao said that she had bought the nectar from a trader in the West.

Shen Qian Ling was instantly disappointed.

“Why do you look like that?” Qin Shao Yu pinched his cheeks, “I told you it’s okay, it’s just a little cruelty.”

“Hm.” Shen Qian Ling nodded, “When the war is over, we will go to the desert together to look for it, we can find it this time!”

“You want to accompany me into the desert?” Qin Shao Yu was surprised.

“No?” Shen Qian Ling asked.

“Of course, you can.” Qin Shao Yu was very serious, “There is no one in the desert and the sand is soft, so we can mingle many times under the sky.”

Shen Qian Ling: ……

Young warrior, you are a little more ambitious!

Qin Shao Yu hugged him and exchanged a lingering kiss.

Ta Xue Bai came galloping from afar, his hooves shattering the boundless night. Qin Shao Yu leapt up with Shen Qian Ling and landed steadily on the horse’s back.

Along the way, the silvery moonlight shone.

When he returned to his residence, he met Yun Jue Ge in the courtyard, chatting with the secret guards.

“Miss Yun.” Shen Qian Ling greeted.

“What are you talking about?” Qin Shao Yu asked.

“Some Northwest customs.” Dark guards answered first.

Yun Jue Ge smiled, “Well, northwest customs.”

“I want to hear it too.” Shen Qian Ling was curious.

“Not allowed.” Qin Shao Yu led him towards the house, “Get some rest early.”

“But everyone is talking.” Shen Xiao Shou protested.

“Sleep well to gain weight.” Qin Shao Yu had good reasons.

Shen Qian Ling: ……

When will his man’s bad taste ever change?

“Good boy.” Qin Shao Yu said, “Go to bed early after bathing.”

“What about you?” Shen Qian Ling asked.

“Since I am here, I have to help Chu Yuan in some way.” Qin Shao Yu said, “I’ll come back when I’m done.”

Shen Qian Ling nodded his head.

Inside the courtyard, Yun Jue Ge was waiting for him with his dark guards, and together they went to the study.

“What is the status of the corpse examination?” Qin Shao Yu asked the dark guard.

“The same as the coroner said, there is no clue.” The corpses were so damaged that it was impossible to tell what they looked like, except for the number of people, I could tell if they were the previous deserters or not.”

“If the corpses are destroyed, it means that there are secrets on them.” Yun Jue Ge said, “Either they were poisoned or had some kind of markings on them, and they were afraid that we would find out something if we found out, so they were cut and burned.”

“But if there were secrets on the corpses, why didn’t they just dispose of them when they killed them and wait until we buried them?” Darkie wondered.

“Either it was too late, or the people who killed them didn’t know the secret.” Qin Shao Yu said, “We won’t know until we find out.”

“But we have no idea where to start now?” Yun Jue Ge frowned.

“Who says there is no clue?” Qin Shao Yu smiled, “Since it’s Li Weiyuan’s man, it’s natural to start following the trail from him.”

“You’re going back to the military camp?” Yun Jue Ge was surprised.

“No need for now.” Qin Shao Yu shook his head, “If Li Weiyuan did it, he would know that I had already gone to the government, so it would be easier to go back and scare the snake.”

“So what do we do now?” The dark guard asked.

“Stay put.” Qin Shao Yu said, “Ye Jin should be here in a few days, he should be able to tell something.”

“Then won’t Shen Qian Feng come too?” Yun Jue Ge hesitated, “Is it okay to leave Li Weiyuan alone with the emperor?”

“I only asked Ye Jin to come alone.” Qin Shao Yu said.

Yun Jue Ge said, “But the people of the border know that the two of them are inseparable and can’t be separated for a moment.”

Qin Shao Yu tsked, “If Ye Jin knew about this, Qian Feng would have to kneel on his knees again.”

Yun Jue Ge: ……

Darkie’s heart is full of sympathy, so it’s better for madam, not only he is naive and innocent, but even when he is angry, he is particularly soft, the most he can do is not to give the palace master a tail rub, there is no such bloody and violent thing as kneeling and rubbing the knees.

He was so cute that he bled out.

“Ah-choo!” Ye Jin sneezed.

“Did you catch a cold?” Shen Qian Feng frowned.

Ye Jin rolled into the corner of the wall.

Shen Qian Feng covered him with the blanket and turned around to leave the room.

The dark guard of Riyue Mountain Villa looked paralyzed as he watched him leave the courtyard.

Although he didn’t want to admit it, his own young master was …… really weak compared to Palace Master Qin.

  This kind of cursed progress.
