The ship was on fire, and the light from the fire could illuminate the entire river. Thus, the news should have reached the palace very soon.

Yun Qi and Yun Qixi looked at each other, then simultaneously looked towards Shan Liancheng, who was sitting in the shadows.

Under the weak light, Shan Liancheng's eyes darkened, then he stood up and walked out of the cave.

Yun Qi and Yun Qixi followed suit and got up as well. When they were at the entrance of the cave, Yun Qi suddenly grabbed her hand and looked deeply into her eyes.

"Take care of yourself." It sounded like a farewell.

"Ever since I was young, I knew that I was the one who could be relied on the most. Therefore, learning to take care of myself was the skill that I was the most proud of since I was young. Don't worry."

She thought she was smiling easily. She didn't know that her smile was mixed with bitterness.

Yun Qi stared at her without blinking, and squeezed her hand tightly, "One day, I will let you know that the only person you can rely on is not yourself."

Under the night sky, the figure that was walking a few steps ahead clearly stiffened.

But Yun Qixi did not realize that she had fallen into Yun Qi's heated gaze, and she was a little absent-minded. Although she was somewhat sluggish in terms of emotions, she was not sluggish enough to the point of being an idiot. She vaguely understood the hidden meaning within Yun Qi's words.

Yun Qi was fine, really. Regardless of his status, be it simple or complicated, she was certain that he was a standard good man.

However, in this strange era, she was like an outsider, so out of place that she never thought she would be able to give her feelings here.

He knew women better than women. He was as good as a close friend or even a confidante, but he could never go beyond that.

"Thank you, Yun Qi. Making this friend of yours is my fortune. If there's a chance, we can drink together. Like this bro. "

She clearly saw Yun Qi's bright eyes darken, so she choked and said, "Let's go."

Her fingers gently pulled away from his palm and she quickly walked behind Shan Liancheng and Yun Chong.

On the river, the ship had not yet burned out, and the air was suffused with the afterglow of burning heat.

Many boats were approaching the burning boat, and many people were swimming and looking for them on the river.

"Prince Jin, Prince Jin …" Many voices were shouting.

Yun Chong stood by the side of the river and turned to look at Shan Liancheng. Shan Liancheng sat on a big rock by the river and nodded at him. Therefore, Yun Chong took out something from his bosom. He pulled it out with one hand and a streak of light pierced the night sky with a sharp sound.

The people on the boat all looked over, and someone shouted excitedly, "This is the signal of Jin Jun, Prince Jin is still alive, Prince Jin is still alive."

All the boats and the people in the water rushed over.

The approaching torches gradually illuminated the riverbank. It was not hard to recognize the crying of the women on the boat, they were Imperial Concubine.

Think about it, if Shan Liancheng's life was truly taken by the fire today, who knows what kind of regret the Imperial Concubine would have? Would he feel that he had done something extremely stupid?

When the boat approached the shore, Imperial Concubine stumbled and got off the boat. Seeing that Shan Liancheng was still sitting there well, with one hand covering his mouth, he could not suppress his crying. His body went soft, and he almost fell down.

"Lian City, Lian City, how are you?"

With their support, Imperial Concubine rushed to the front of Shan Liancheng. His original dignity no longer existed, she was only a mother who thought that he would be separated from his children forever.

"Mufei, I'm fine. It was General Yun who rushed over in time to save us."

He was still able to keep his calm when faced with his mother's crying face.

And the ones who had disembarked from the ship at the back were Yun Fenglie, Yun Lanyue and the others.

There was no need to guess that they had come to find her. Even if it was just a feint, they would still do it after such a huge incident had occurred.

"Prince Jin, Qixi, you guys are fine, God bless you." Yun Fenglie's worried face looked more and more ancient under the moonlight. When he saw Shan Liancheng and Yun Qixi who was standing not far behind him, his expression clearly relaxed.

Yun Lanyue and her mother, who were following him down the boat, had a rather unsightly expression on their faces. Su Yuwan's acting skills were profound and his face was stiff for a moment before she gave a pleased smile, "That's great, my heart is beating really well. Now it has finally landed on the ground."

I... Yun Qixi wanted to vomit.

However, it was obvious that Yun Lanyue did not have enough strength, and seeing that Yun Qixi was still standing there perfectly, her face was filled with disbelief, and finally, disappointment.

After Yun Qixi saw the wonderful change in their expressions, her lips curved up into a smile.

Her life was truly filled with pleasure. From time to time, there would be people who would voluntarily come and perform in front of her for free. If she didn't give her a bit of money as reward, she would feel a bit embarrassed.

Seeing that she was smiling, Yun Lanyue became even angrier, raising her chin up high to size her up, and noticing her huge male attire, she snorted a laugh.

"Little sister, what's wrong with you?" Why was he wearing men's clothes? Could it be that he had done something shameful? Don't forget, you are Prince Jin's fiancee. All that you have done directly affects the reputation of the Prince Jin. "

Hearing her sharp voice, everyone turned to look at her, sizing her up in an odd outfit. Looking at everyone's expressions, they might even be automatically thinking of some dirty plot. Even the crying Imperial Concubine suddenly stopped. She wiped her tears away with a silk handkerchief as she looked at her.

There was no one who was as despicable as him using the banner of Shan Liancheng to suppress her and ridicule her for helping Shan Liancheng.

Facing Yun Lanyue's sharp words as well as countless different gazes, Yun Qixi knew how embarrassed she was right now. Suddenly, a tyrannical hand pulled her hand and pulled her away, forcing her to take a few steps forward to Shan Liancheng's side.

"Is it cold?" Shan Liancheng asked indifferently.

A kind of warmth and comfort came from his palms. Only after a while did Yun Qixi finally react. She was asking her, and shook her head blankly.

Shan Liancheng continued, "So what if your clothes are burnt, this grandpa will buy you a new one."

No matter how foolish Yun Qixi was, she understood that he was helping her. His deep and powerful voice was announcing to everyone that even if the entire world were to question her, he would stand by her side. In this way, even if some people had questions, they wouldn't dare to raise them.

This prince with the cold face wasn't that cold, and his occasional actions really moved her.

"Alright." Yun Qixi replied humbly.

Ge Feng brought out a wheelchair and placed it in front of Shan Liancheng, "Master, let's go back."

Yes, it is great that Prince Jin is fine. Imperial Concubine Hui, go back, you have been tormenting yourself for the entire night, you are tired, too. Yun Fenglie said.

Ge Feng and Yun Chong helped Shan Liancheng to sit on the wheelchair.

As the group walked towards the boat, Yun Qixi stayed at the back. When they were about to board the boat, they subconsciously looked back.

What about Yun Qi? Where did he go?

"Qixi, let's go." Yun Chong urged her on.

Yun Qixi turned and quickly walked onto the boat.

The boat gradually left the shore. After boarding the boat, Yun Qixi had been looking in the direction of the river bank. Her vision was good, she saw a figure walking out from the shadows, looking at her from afar.

After watching for a while, Yun Qi suddenly sat down on a rock that Shan Liancheng had sat on initially. He waved to her, telling her that he was fine. He always seemed to know what she was thinking.

He was like a mystery, but she wasn't bothered by it. Whatever his identity was, she was sure it was him. He was someone worth getting to know. In fact, wasn't she also a mystery? Her true identity was also unspeakably awkward. He didn't ask about the root of the matter. He just simply asked about the heart. Everything was fine.

On the deck, everyone was surprisingly quiet. Shan Liancheng sat on the wheelchair, looking towards the river silently. Imperial Concubine also calmed down, her gaze moving between Shan Liancheng and his body from time to time, as though he was thinking about something.

Even if Imperial Concubine hadn't set fire, she had caused everything that had happened tonight. Yun Qixi was truly speechless towards her. She really wanted to ask her what she saw in her heart, could she not change it? Did she have to resort to all sorts of schemes to take her as a wife?

Whether it was before or after she teleported, Yun Qixi had never felt that she had such a taste.

Yun Lanyue stood not far away, and stared at Yun Qixi angrily. The silk handkerchief in her hand had been twisted. She was utterly disappointed that she had not been informed of her death.

The river wind was cold, Yun Qixi pulled at her waist, holding onto her arm tighter, she looked up to the moon in the sky, with a slight smile on her face. It was as if she was saying, "Tonight, the moon is beautiful."

Then, she successfully glanced at Yun Lanyue, who was about to explode from anger.

After disembarking from the boat, a few carriages were waiting by the shore.

Imperial Concubine and Shan Liancheng got into one of the carriages. They watched their carriages leave before getting in.

There was only one carriage, which Yun Qixi had originally wanted to say, but she was sitting outside. It was probably because Yun Chong felt that her current attire was not too elegant, and frowned: "You should go inside, it's windy outside."

Therefore, Yun Qixi could only squeeze together with Yun Fenglie, Su Yuwan and Yun Lanyue into a carriage.

In the cramped space, the few of them had different thoughts.

Yun Fenglie had not said a word the entire time, but Su Yuwan was actually extremely recuperated, and was even able to say a few words to her. Yun Qixi truly admired her, and the look of Yun Lanyue, who disliked her, was clearly written on his face.

Returning to the residence, he saw Qiao Er crying like a walnut. She had always felt guilty because her message had put her in danger. Only after Yun Qixi tried to persuade her for a long time did her eyes finally grow swollen. She gave Yun Qixi a moment of silence.

After taking a bath, Yun Qixi felt that this night was too tiring. She should sleep until she woke up naturally.

But God always seemed to be against her, especially when she tried to get a good night's sleep.
