Chapter 208 Don't worry,
"Has something important happened?" Something important must have happened to make An Qingqian come to find him at this time.
"Oh, by the way, when I came in just now, I saw several men in black outside the Xianwang Mansion monitoring this place. They are hiding very well, so you have to be careful. We don't know who they are."
An Qingqian hesitated for a moment and did not express his thoughts. Instead, he mentioned what was happening outside.
"Well, I know these people, but we haven't found out who they are yet. They have been here since last night." Shi Qiuwu nodded.
He knew it as soon as they appeared in Prince Xian's palace.
However, he had no intention of taking action against these people before finding out their purpose.
After all, after dealing with this batch, there will be another batch. It is better to let them guard outside first. They are already on guard anyway, so nothing serious will happen.
"That's good to know." An Qingqian breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Shi Qiuwu knew about this.
"By the way, where did you go just now? Why did you come back just now?" An Qingqian asked curiously.
"What? We haven't even gotten married yet, but you've already started to care about me?" Hearing this, Shi Qiuwu looked at the person in front of him with a smile.
"No, I just asked casually." An Qingqian coughed twice and looked away.
"Caring is caring. We are getting married soon, so why should you be embarrassed?" Shi Qiuwu was touched by An Qingqian's adorable look.
When she heard about getting married, a gloomy look flashed across An Qingqian's face.
She held Shi Qiuwu's hand with her backhand and her expression became serious.
"Qiu Wu, I have something I want to tell you."
"Just say it." Hearing An Qingqian calling out his name naturally, Shi Qiuwu felt a little happier.
"After you left just now, I thought about it again and thought, maybe we should put our relationship aside for now."
"Why?" Shi Qiuwu's smile froze on his face, and he looked at An Qingqian in confusion.
"Are you unwilling to marry me? Is it because I did something wrong?"
"No, no." Noticing the panic in Shi Qiuwu's eyes, An Qingqian felt even more guilty.
"Qiu Wu, let me ask you a question. You entered Fuguang Temple to practice since you were a child. Was it because you wanted to do so, or was it because you wanted to avoid the emperor's fear?"
An Qingqian remembered that when she said she agreed to marry him, the joy in Shi Qiuwu's eyes was so obvious, but less than an hour after she agreed, she regretted it.
When Shi Qiuwu heard An Qingqian's question, he was stunned. He did not expect that An Qingqian would think of this.
Seeing Shi Qiuwu silent, An Qingqian sighed lightly.
“Qiu Wu, the emperor is suspicious by nature, he is even on guard against his own brothers, let alone others?
You must be aware that the Emperor granted me a marriage because he was worried that a prince might want to marry me and thus win over the An family, so he granted the marriage in advance to avoid all the trouble.
Over the years, the Xianwang Mansion has been very low-key. You have not even married and have been practicing in Fuguang Temple, ignoring worldly affairs.
Once we get married, the emperor will definitely become wary of the palace and the An family again.
I think you don’t want to see such a result.”
After An Qingqian finished speaking, she saw Shi Qiuwu staring at her with hurt eyes, and her heart couldn't help but tremble.
She reached out and gently stroked Shi Qiuwu's face, her tone gentle, "So, I think it's enough for us to love each other, and we don't necessarily have to be together.
If we were ordinary people, without our current identities, nothing would happen if we were together. However, our identities are so sensitive that if we were together, it would bring a lot of trouble to both of our families."
Shi Qiuwu frowned, he put his hand on An Qingqian's hand with a serious expression.
"Qianqian, I told you, I will find a way to deal with this matter. What you are worried about will never happen, and the An family will be safe and sound."
"You just need to say that you are willing to marry me and that you like me. That's enough. I will take care of the rest."
Shi Qiuwu didn't expect An Qingqian to think so much. He had already thought about these things when he decided to marry An Qingqian.
"But this requires such a huge price and extreme caution. It's really too difficult." An Qingqian shook her head.
If it were anyone else, she could find a way to deal with it.
But that person was the emperor, the one with the highest power.
She couldn't kill the emperor for this, could she?
It was easy to kill someone, but she had to consider how troublesome things would be afterwards.
The princes are fighting for power, the court is in chaos, and even worse, it will affect the stability of the entire court and the peace of the people.
An Qingqian cannot destroy all this for her own selfish desires.
"Don't worry. If I say there will be a way to solve it, then there will definitely be a way to solve it. You don't need to worry about so many things. Just wait for me in the General's Mansion."
Shi Qiuwu looked at An Qingqian's worried eyes and felt a dull pain in his heart.
He knew that An Qingqian liked him and wanted to be with him, but because of these reasons, she had to compromise.
She is obviously just an eighteen-year-old girl, but she has to worry about so much.
"But..." An Qingqian wanted to say something, but Shi Qiuwu blocked her lips with his fingers.
"Qianqian, believe me, if I say there is a way, then there is a way."
An Qingqian stopped talking. She looked at Shi Qiuwu with helplessness in her eyes.
"Qianqian, please believe me, I will definitely let us get married, and I will also make sure that everything is fine for the An family and Prince Xian's Mansion." Shi Qiuwu held An Qingqian's little hand tightly.
"Okay, I believe you." Looking at Shi Qiuwu's sincere eyes, An Qingqian really couldn't say no.
She pulled her hand away from Shi Qiuwu's grasp, and in Shi Qiuwu's astonished eyes, she hugged his neck and leaned on his shoulder.
Before Shi Qiuwu had time to be happy, he suddenly felt a pain in his shoulder and couldn't help but groan.
An Qingqian suddenly raised her head and turned to look at Shi Qiuwu, "What's wrong with you?"
"No, nothing. It's just that you suddenly hugged me and I was very surprised." Shi Qiuwu endured the pain and looked at An Qingqian with a smile.
Then he calmly pressed her head against his shoulder, but his brows were furrowed, and he was obviously feeling a little unbearable.
"Is that so?" An Qingqian always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't put her finger on it.
"Yes, I'm very happy that you took the initiative to hug me." Shi Qiuwu explained with a smile, and then hugged the person leaning on his shoulder a little tighter.
Feeling the softness and fragrance in his arms, Shi Qiuwu suddenly felt that it was worth it even if he was seriously injured by An Zhenyuan today.
