Chapter 118 Congratulations on Escaping from the Sea of Misery
An Qingqian did not rush in, but stopped at the door and knocked gently.
She saw that the light was still on in the room, so she chose to knock on the door.
The door was opened, and Shi Qiuwu, wearing a thin white undershirt, stood inside.
Seeing that the person coming was An Qingqian, Shi Qiuwu was very surprised. Why did she come to see him at this time? Did something happen?
"Prince, I'm sorry to bother you so late at night." An Qingqian didn't expect that Shi Qiuwu was already ready to rest. When she saw that he had taken off his clothes, she suddenly became embarrassed and didn't know where to look.
"It's cold outside, please come in first." Shi Qiuwu took a step back and made way.
"Yeah." An Qingqian knew something was wrong, but thinking about her own affairs, she had to bite the bullet and go in.
Noticing An Qingqian's confused look, Shi Qiuwu's eyes softened, a smile appeared on the corners of his mouth, and he turned around to put on a piece of clothing.
"Your Highness, I have come here so late at night because I have an urgent matter. I have no choice but to come."
"What's the matter? Just tell me." Shi Qiuwu felt very happy that An Qingqian thought of him first when something happened.
"Prince, could you please help me check if the things in here have fallen back?" An Qingqian took out the small bottle and placed it on the table.
Seeing the small bottle and hearing An Qingqian say this, Shi Qiuwu took out a candlestick and placed it in front of the two of them.
He opened the small bottle, poured a little bit onto the paper, sniffed it gently, and then observed it carefully under the candlelight. Finally, he was sure that this was Luohui.
“That’s exactly what’s falling back.”
"Thank you, Prince." Even though he had guessed it in his heart, An Qingqian was still shocked when he was sure that this was the poison falling back.
Seeing that An Qingqian's face looked a little strange, Shi Qiuwu put away the poison and put it in front of her again.
"Where did you get this medicine?"
How did An Qingqian suddenly have a fall back? What happened?
"I got it by accident. I consulted several doctors, but none of them could determine what kind of poison it was. That's why I thought of coming here to trouble the prince."
An Qingqian pursed her lips and didn't tell the origin of the medicine.
When Shi Qiuwu heard this, he understood in his heart that An Qingqian didn't want to tell him.
"By the way, General An is returning to Beijing today. You should be very happy, right?" Shi Qiuwu quickly changed the subject.
A lot of things happened this afternoon.
When An Zhenyuan returned to Beijing, the first thing he did when he entered the imperial study was to ask the emperor for the divorce edict of Xue Wanxian and An Qingqian.
Things were quite unpleasant in the Imperial Study at that time.
I don’t know what’s wrong with An Zhenyuan. When he saw that the emperor disagreed, he directly confronted the emperor.
The emperor had to agree to this matter in order to save his face.
Later, An Zhenyuan took Eunuch Sheng, who was beside the emperor, to the Lin'an Marquis' Mansion to announce the decree. After that, he took An Qingqian back to the General's Mansion.
The scene was quite a big commotion, and many people around saw it, all with shocked expressions on their faces.
However, when everyone thought about the injustice An Qingqian had suffered before, they felt happy and relieved.
It is very normal for General An to return to Beijing to make the decision for his daughter, and it is human nature.
"Yeah, Daddy finally came back, so of course I'm happy." An Qingqian's expression softened when he mentioned his father.
"I also heard about what happened today. I should say, congratulations to Miss An for escaping from her suffering." Shi Qiuwu smiled gently.
The development of things today was really beyond everyone's expectations.
When Shi Qiuwu heard the news, he naturally couldn't hide his joy. He could finally openly call An Qingqian "Miss An" instead of "Madam Hou".
"Thank you, Prince." An Qingqian smiled even more.
"However, you and Xue Wanxian suddenly separated, and I'm sure some people will be anxious. You and the general should be careful."
Shi Qiuwu already knew Prince Yong's purpose. He was worried that Prince Yong would not give up and would definitely take other actions.
"Well, thank you for the reminder, Prince. I will be careful." An Qingqian nodded.
After saying this, both of them fell silent.
Just then, there was a faint sound of footsteps outside.
An Qingqian thought it was Shi Qiuwu's guard who wanted to see him for something, so he was about to get up and say goodbye.
But then Shi Qiuwu swung his palm and all the candles in the room went out, and the room suddenly fell into darkness.
"He's not my person." Shi Qiuwu glanced at An Qingqian, his voice very low and very close to her.
Not his people? Could it be someone who came to investigate the situation here?
An Qingqian lowered her eyes, immersed in her own thoughts, and did not realize how close the two of them were at the moment.
Shi Qiuwu stood up, grabbed An Qingqian's wrist, and hid behind the screen.
An Qingqian looked at Shi Qiuwu in astonishment. If she wanted to hide, she could just hide. He would just remind her, but why was he still pulling her?
However, An Qingqian soon found an excuse for Shi Qiuwu.
Because the person came very quickly, he sneaked into the room almost as soon as they hid their bodies.
If he hadn't pulled An Qingqian, there was a possibility that he would have been discovered.
After hiding, Shi Qiuwu let go of An Qingqian's hand, which made An Qingqian feel that she had offended Shi Qiuwu.
How dare he make wild guesses? He was just trying to avoid being discovered.
The man was wearing night clothes. After entering, he did not light a candle and walked around the room in the dark.
He came to the desk and searched it, but found nothing. He then opened the drawer below and looked carefully.
However, he turned the desk almost completely upside down and still found nothing.
Looking at the man's actions, An Qingqian felt it was very strange.
Who is this person? Why is he looking for something in Shi Qiuwu's room? What is he looking for?
Shi Qiuwu held no official position in the court, nor did he have any power. In fact, he usually studied Buddhism in Fuguang Temple and ignored worldly affairs.
What is there about him that is worth others' attention?
Just as the man was about to search somewhere else, he suddenly heard hurried footsteps outside.
The man in black paused, quickly opened the window on the left, and went outside.
However, even though his movements were extremely slight, he was still discovered by the visitor.
Tianshu wanted to knock on the door, but suddenly he heard some movement at the window on the left.
So, he gave up knocking on the door and instead walked carefully towards that direction.
As soon as I turned the corner, I saw a black figure climbing out of the window, preparing to escape.
"Who dares to trespass here?" Tianshu shouted.
The black figure did not expect that his tracks would be discovered. He turned back subconsciously and saw someone coming towards him.
