Zhao He glanced at the black iron box with some confusion. Since this thing is very important, shouldn't Madam keep it by her side?
When it comes to safety, there is no place safer than this yard.
But why would Madam put this thing in an unoccupied yard?
Although Zhao He was a little confused, he still followed Xiao Jiang with the box in his arms.
Two quarters of an hour later, Xiao Jiang came back and handed the key to Shen Wan.
After Shen Wan and the others finished cleaning up, Song Heng and the others also had dinner. When he came back with his son An in his arms, he had already fallen asleep.
Shen Wan placed the boy on the bed and covered him with a quilt.
She knew that Song Heng must have many things to ask him, so in order not to wake up Xiao An, she motioned for him to go to the outer room.
When they got to the outside room, Shen Wan sat on a chair leisurely, waiting for Song Heng to ask her.
Song Heng sat down on the chair next to Shen Wan and looked at her for a while before frowning and saying, "You've lost weight."
She looked thinner than when he left the imperial city. She was probably worried about Zi Ling's affairs, and also because she couldn't eat well or sleep well these days while traveling.
"Yeah?"
Shen Wan touched her face and felt that her face seemed a little smaller.
"You've lost weight too."
Not only have I lost weight, I have also become haggard and old.
There was a period of silence, and after a while Song Heng finally said, "You shouldn't have come to the north, let alone brought Zian with you."
"Although I am very happy to see you and Zian."
He added another sentence.
Hearing those words he added later, Shen Wan felt a lot more comfortable. She said, "I'm here for Zi Ling."
Song Heng frowned and said: "Zi Ling should have been taken to Manzi's camp now. I received your letter and expected that Manzi would disguise himself as a Xiling citizen and enter and exit the border from the west.
They even sent Qiao Mu to intercept and rescue Zi Ling on the road from Xiling to the North Territory, but Manzi had too many people to help him.
The number of people I sent Qiao Mu to bring was too few, so I had to give up the rescue."
"Have Qiao Mu and the others seen Zi Ling?"
Shen Wan asked.
How could she be so stupid? At that time, no one from the Northern Territory would pretend to be someone from other countries and exit through other gates?
Every town is strictly investigating people from the Northern Territory, but they may not be so careful in investigating people from other countries.
Song Heng: "I saw it."
"If something happens to Ziling, I am responsible.
If I hadn't thought poorly and found a few people to follow Zi Ling when he entered and left the city, I wouldn't have given Manzi a chance."
Shen Wan blamed herself.
Song Heng looked at Shen Wan who was blaming herself and comforted: "I don't blame you for this. No one expected that Barbarian would do such a despicable thing. You have been very good to Zi Ling."
He saw her reconciliation with Zi Ling. She regarded Zi Ling as her own son. If something happened to Zi Ling, she should be as sad as anyone else.
Shen Wan glanced at Song Heng in surprise. She originally thought that if something happened to Zi Ling, he would complain to her. After all, she was not Zi Ling's real mother, but she didn't expect that he would not complain. Instead, he turned around to comfort himself.
Song Heng added: "You can take An An to stay for two days and then return to the imperial city! You can't stay here for too long."
I'm afraid there will be a big battle in the next few days, and he won't be able to take care of them.
Moreover, if the city is destroyed, they may not have time to escape if they stay in the city.
"I'm here to rescue Zi Ling. I won't leave until I rescue him."
Shen Wan stated the purpose of her trip, "Although you may think I'm talking nonsense, I really have a way to save Zi Ling.
I brought An An here not to cause trouble for you, but because something happened to Zi Ling, and I was worried about leaving An An in the Imperial City, and I didn't dare to let him leave my sight, so I brought him along. "
