Chapter 481: Chapter 478: A Taste Is Enough_1

"Governor also said, if the Commandery Princess wants to know more details, he will come to explain them in person another day."

"Okay!" Bai Qingyan nodded. "Steward Hao, please send someone to inform the gatekeeper. If Uncle Ping returns, have him report to Boyun Courtyard immediately."

"Yes!"

Chun Tao hesitated, very worried about Bai Qingyan’s health.

The more information Bai Qingyan got, the clearer the outline of the matter became. Up until now... Bai Qingyan intuitively felt that the kidnapping was closely related to King Liang.

Bai Qingyan stood under the corridor, wiping the sweat off her neck and forehead with a handkerchief. She thought deeply, if King Liang was still entangled with the Bai family and aimed to destroy them, Bai Qingyan was willing to continue sparring with him. However, if he had lost even the most basic humanity for that position, then he did not deserve to live in this world any longer.

From the Northern Frontier to returning to Shuoyang, Bai Qingyan was mentally and physically exhausted. She was still waiting for Lu Ping’s return. Without changing her clothes, she leaned on the soft couch and fell asleep, dreaming about the kidnapping incident.

In her dream, she saw King Liang, enraged and humiliated, raising a knife towards Xiao Ba, Bai Wanqing.

She pulled the Sun-shooting bow with all her might, but the arrow’s speed seemed unable to catch up with King Liang’s knife.

"Bai Qingyan..."

Bai Qingyan suddenly opened her eyes, her chest heaving violently, drenched in sweat, her hair soaked.

"Had a nightmare?"

Bai Qingyan’s throat tightened. Still in shock, she saw Xiao Rongyan sitting beside her on the soft couch and got startled, realizing she was tightly gripping Xiao Rongyan’s hand.

She quickly released his hand and sat up. "You..."

Xiao Rongyan stood up from the soft couch. "I’m sorry."

Bai Qingyan looked around and saw that this was her Boyun Courtyard. She frowned and asked, "Is there an emergency? The mine?"

Xiao Rongyan gazed at Bai Qingyan. It wasn’t about him intruding into her boudoir but about her concern over any urgent matters. This trust she placed in him made Xiao Rongyan very pleased.

"There is an urgent matter." Xiao Rongyan had just finished speaking when Bai Qingyan tried to get up.

He quickly leaned down to stop her from getting up, looking at her with a smile and whispering, "I heard you returned to Shuoyang. Missing you was unbearable. Originally, I just wanted to see you and leave. Unexpectedly, the hidden guards of the Bai Mansion were more formidable than anticipated, coupled with your nightmare, so..."

Bai Qingyan was briefly stunned upon hearing this. Then her ears turned red as she recalled the moment they committed to each other back in Dadu City...

"You used to..."

"The first time..." Xiao Rongyan interrupted before Bai Qingyan could ask further, "Relax. I had Yue Shi lure away the Bai Mansion’s hidden guards and your personal maid. I truly intended only to deliver something and see you before leaving!"

Taking such a risk just to deliver something and see her might have been a bit too daring.

"The hidden guards of the Bai Mansion are very skilled and not foolish. Xiao Rongyan, how do you expect me to explain to my mother if a man walks out of my boudoir?" Bai Qingyan asked.
