Shi Qinghuan's eyes fell on Bailiheng, "You have been busy for so long. Go take a shower and change clothes and have a good night's rest. I will go and pack up and stock up on some medicinal materials."
Shi Qinghuan stood up to leave as he spoke, but Bailiheng suddenly stretched out his hand to hold her.
Just when Shi Qinghuan was confused, Bailiheng walked up to her, took the brocade handkerchief from one side, and covered her head directly.
"It's such a cold day, why don't you even dry your hair?"
"I wiped it!"
Shi Qinghuan looked at it and saw that she had indeed wiped it, but she didn't wipe it too dry!
Bailiheng didn't listen to her, and gently rubbed the top of her head.
The movements are gentle and the look is serious.
When Shi Qinghuan raised his eyes, he could see his delicate jaw.
Looking down, you can see the protruding throat beads and the slender neck, followed by the looming collarbone...
The neckline was slightly open, causing her to quickly avert her eyes.
Shi Qinghuan, Shi Qinghuan, what’s happened to you recently?
Bailiheng is indeed a rare beauty, but it won't make you so uncontrollable, right?
The unprecedented feeling is always unfamiliar.
Shi Qinghuan lowered his head and quickly threw away all the messy thoughts.
He grabbed the brocade handkerchief from Bailiheng's hand with one hand, turned around and walked inside.
"Don't worry, I will dry it myself. You should go back to your room quickly!"
As he spoke, he had already disappeared.
Bailiheng was stunned for a moment, but then he seemed to react, and a smile appeared on his lips.
"good."
He responded, then turned and left.
Seeing Bailiheng leaving, Shi Qinghuan breathed a sigh of relief, and the beating of his heart slowly calmed down.
Not wanting to think too much, I packed my things as planned and fell asleep.
Maybe I was really tired these days, so I slept right through to the early morning of the next day.
Shi Qinghuan changed back into women's clothing, but this time, she chose to wear a face towel.
But just because of this, it added a bit of mysterious coldness to her.
Another few days on the agenda, Shi Qinghuan sometimes took a nap in the carriage, and sometimes rode horses with Bailiheng.
Maybe it was because of the pleasant scenery, but the heaviness she felt when she was in Kyoto City seemed to have dissipated.
Five days later, they arrived at their next destination, moving to the city.
As soon as he entered the city gate, Shi Qinghuan was a little surprised.
Because the prosperity in the city is even worse than that of many big cities.
"This Qiancheng was originally a small town, and it was quite well-behaved before. However, in the past ten years, it has grown rapidly and become more prosperous, and the people are happy."
"Then I guess it's because the officials here are doing their best."
Seeing the prosperity everywhere and the people living and working in peace and contentment, Shi Qinghuan said sincerely.
There was a strange look in Bailiheng's eyes, but he didn't say anything in the end.
"Want to go for a walk?"
"That's good, I just need to prepare some more expenses."
The two got off the carriage and walked side by side through the market. They were infected by the excitement, and Shi Qinghuan's heart also felt warm.
"My husband, the flowers are blooming in spring, please pray for your wife's hairpin!"
The little girl on the side spoke softly. Shi Qinghuan looked over. Before he could say anything, Bailiheng had already taken a flower and gave it money.
Shi Qinghuan only thought he was kind-hearted and did not stop him, but the next moment, Bailiheng stood in front of her.
He reached out his hand to hold her hair, and gently decorated the flowers in her hair.
The little blue and purple flowers accompanied her clothes, which made her look even more pure.
Shi Qinghuan was stunned for a moment, watching the breeze blowing his hair, and his heart gradually began to ripple.
"Hairpin flower...that's it!"
Bailiheng asked with a serious face. Shi Qinghuan was stunned, and then shook his head, "I don't know, no one has given me a hairpin."
Hearing this, Bailiheng's eyes flashed, "Really?"
"Um."
Of course Shi Qinghuan didn't lie. Although he had a fiancé in his previous life, everything was a conspiracy. How could there be such detailed warmth?
Seeing the look in Shi Qinghuan's eyes, Bailiheng stretched out his hand to smooth her hair.
"If you like it, I will do it in the future."
"Um?"
Shi Qinghuan was distracted for a moment and didn't hear clearly what Bailiheng said.
He turned his eyes, but his eyes were drawn away.
His footsteps paused, his eyes filled with shock.
Because there is an ancestral hall at the end not far away.
The plaque on the ancestral hall has large lacquered gold characters.
Shrine to protect the country and martyrs.
For a moment, Shi Qinghuan was a little confused, maybe he just guessed wrong.
There are many loyal people who protect the country, but they may not be related to the government of the protector.
"Go and see!"
Bailiheng spoke from one side, but Shi Qinghuan shook his head, "No need!"
Just as he was about to turn around, his hand was held by Baili Gang.
Just like that, Shi Qinghuan couldn't help but followed Bailiheng into the ancestral hall.
It is bright and upright, the incense is flourishing inside, and the people are very pious.
Once inside, Shi Qinghuan paused.
Because the tablets belong to the people of the Duke Protector's Mansion.
But how is this possible?
The Duke Protector's Mansion has a reputation for rebellion, even though the Holy One in Kyoto City granted him the right to stay in the Mansion to open a temple.
But to all the people of Tiansheng Kingdom, the Protector of the Country is still a criminal.
How could anyone build an ancestral hall for the Protector's Mansion and do it so openly and honestly?
There was no way to ask the doubts in his heart, and he heard Bailiheng speaking from one side.
"Madam, may I ask who built this ancestral hall?"
"It's our Lord Tongpan."
"But as far as I know, the Protectorate's Mansion is..."
"I know what you want to say. You want to say that the Protector of the Country is a traitor and a criminal. Why are we still willing to worship him?"
Before Bailiheng could finish speaking, the aunt replied, "This is other people's thoughts, not our people's. In our eyes, the Protector's Office is a great contributor to protecting the border and ensuring that the people of Tiansheng live and work in peace and contentment. We don't believe it." The Protectorate will rebel, so we worship here sincerely."
Every word spoken by the aunt deeply touched Shi Qinghuan's heart.
The hands under the sleeves slowly tightened, but his heart was extremely hot and moved.
Bailiheng looked at her, "Did you hear everything?"
"They will be very pleased to hear that they know something."
The protecting court betrayed them and didn't believe them, but fortunately, the people still remembered.
Shi Qinghuan stepped forward and offered incense religiously.
As he bent down and kowtowed, tears fell down.
But, it is joyful.
After he finished praying and left the ancestral hall, Shi Qinghuan looked at Bailiheng, "You know there is an ancestral hall here, right?"
Otherwise, he would not take her in as soon as he saw the ancestral temple.
Perhaps, from the moment he got off the carriage, he wanted to bring her over for a visit.
Bailiheng did not deny it, "I just want you to know that everything in this world has its own justice, and what we want to do will eventually be done."
"I understand, thank you."
Shi Qinghuan smiled. Even through the veil, Bailiheng still saw the star-like brightness in her bright eyes.
He was also happy just for the beauty of this moment.
As crowds of people passed by, the two looked at each other and smiled, as if they only saw each other.
After a long time, Shi Qinghuan finally spoke, "I heard from the lady just now that the person who built the ancestral hall was Lord Tongpan here?"
"yes."
"Do you know him?"
"I don't know him. Do you want to meet him?"
"Forget it, there are still things to do. Let's come back and thank you after everything has settled. After all, in this world, there are really few such loyal and courageous people!"
"Okay, I will accompany you then."
Bailiheng said, slowly breathing a sigh of relief in a corner where Shi Qinghuan could not see.
