After I traveled through the book, I became the favorite of the cold and indifferent prince.

Chapter 148 Urgent Letter from the Capital

Yan Qingwan listened quietly to the maid's narration, his eyes falling on the golden melon seeds in her hand.

She narrowed her eyes slightly, as if thinking about something.

After a while, she waved her hand gently and said in a calm and casual tone: "Well, you did a good job. Since these golden melon seeds are given to you by Lin Xiyan, you should accept them, but..."

At this point, Yan Qingwan paused, his eyes sharpened, "I want to know, in which courtyard are you working now?"

The maid was startled by Yan Qingwan's sudden question, but she quickly calmed down and replied with her head down: "My dear Crown Princess, I am currently tending to the flowers and plants in the garden."

After saying this, her heart tightened and she clenched her palms, feeling a little nervous for a moment.

Yan Qingwan said calmly, "You will be transferred to the main courtyard to clean the outer courtyard. By the way, you will be the one to entertain Miss Lin when she comes to the mansion next time. Do you understand?"

The maid was delighted and nodded happily, "Thank you, Princess. I will do my best."

Yan Qingwan hummed and said, "Go out."

Maid: "Okay."

Next, the situation was not quite what Yan Qingwan had expected.

Because Lin Xiyan developed a fever the night she returned home.

Coupled with the cold weather, the ups and downs lasted for half a month before they got better.

Her illness made her mother, Mrs. Lin, very worried. After she recovered, she was confined to the house.

Lin Xiyan didn't come to disturb the house.

Yan Qingwan and Si Jinchen lived a very fulfilling life.

The reunion day is coming soon.

Old Madam Xie from the Xie Mansion specifically sent someone to pass on a message in advance, asking Yan Qingwan and his family of three to go to the Xie Mansion to have a reunion dinner together.

After Yan Qingwan told Si Jinchen about this, Si Jinchen nodded in agreement.

On the day of the reunion, we packed up and went there early in the morning.

As for the first, second and third days of the Chinese New Year, Yan Qingwan and Si Jinchen spent them all in their own residence.

The main thing is that there were always people coming to the mansion, and they were all officials from Jiangning Prefecture.

······

The first month of the year passed quickly.

It’s the second day of February and the sun is shining brightly.

In the morning, Yan Qingwan and Si Jinchen sat on the stone bench in the yard.

Yan Qingwan held her cheeks with her hands and looked at Si Jinchen opposite her. After a while, she stretched out her arms lazily, then covered her mouth with her small hands and yawned loudly involuntarily.

Si Jinchen, who was concentrating on reading a book, heard the noise. He slowly raised his head, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a doting smile, and whispered, "Are you sleepy?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Qingwan snorted coquettishly and complained, "It's because you, Your Highness, kept me awake last night, so my waist is still aching!"

As she spoke, she did not forget to twist her body, as if trying to relieve the pain.

Seeing this, Si Jinchen raised his head and glanced at her, then said softly, "In that case, come sit next to me and I will massage you to relieve some of the discomfort."

Upon hearing this, Yan Qingwan stood up without any pretense and moved to the stone bench to the right of Si Jinchen and sat down.

Then, Si Jinchen stretched out his long and powerful hands, gently placed them on Yan Qingwan's slender waist, and began to knead rhythmically.

As Si Jinchen's fingers moved, the expression on Yan Qingwan's face became more and more colorful.

Sometimes it grimaces in pain, and sometimes it smiles in comfort, just like a cute little kitten.

Si Jinchen on the side was watching her quietly. His heart was filled with joy and affection for her lively and interesting reaction, and he couldn't help but chuckle.

It lasted for a while before Si Jinchen said calmly, "Are you feeling better?"

Yan Qingwan nodded and hummed.

Si Jinchen withdrew his hand.

The two sat quietly in a warm atmosphere.

Suddenly, the silence was broken by the sound of hurried footsteps at the gate of the yard.

Zhong Chengyi walked hurriedly into the yard holding a letter.

He walked to Si Jinchen and explained to him quickly in a low voice.

After saying this, Zhong Chengyi handed the envelope in his hand to Si Jinchen.

Si Jinchen took the envelope, and his originally relaxed expression instantly became solemn.

He silently put down the book he was reading, slowly stood up and walked towards the east wing.

Less than half an incense stick of time later, Si Jinchen walked out of the room with a gloomy face.

His eyes fell directly on Yan Qingwan, and he said in a low and powerful voice: "Pack your luggage, and we will set off to return to the capital early tomorrow morning."

Yan Qingwan stared at Si Jinchen's extremely serious face, and her heart couldn't help but tighten.

She nodded, then stood up and told the maids to prepare their luggage.

As night fell and everything was quiet, Yan Qingwan finally lay down on the bed.

Only at this moment did she have the opportunity to ask Si Jinchen what had happened.

After a conversation, Yan Qingwan learned that when his father set out to worship his ancestors last month, he encountered a sudden assassination attack and is now in critical condition and is in dying.

Upon hearing this shocking news, Yan Qingwan was completely stunned and unable to recover for a while.

According to the description in the book, my father should have been the emperor for a few more years!

What's more, such a change should not have happened at this moment.

This series of accidents made Yan Qingwan feel extremely confused and shocked. She really couldn't understand why reality was so contrary to the plot in the book.

However, no matter how entangled and struggling he was inside, Yan Qingwan knew that he had no time to care about too much at the moment.

Now that things have come to this, the most urgent task is to return to the capital as soon as possible.

After all, the current situation in the capital is confusing and unpredictable. No one can predict what challenges and crises will come next. Only by racing against time can we gain more initiative.

The next morning, before dawn, the sky was still dark.

Yan Qingwan, Si Jinchen and their entourage had already dressed and were ready. They hurriedly boarded the carriage and set out on the journey back to Beijing.

However, due to the urgency of the situation, Si Jinchen decided to lead a group of people to set off first and return to the capital as quickly as possible.

Yan Qingwan was responsible for taking care of Qi'an and led another group of people to follow closely.

Along the way, everyone kept on traveling, not daring to delay for even a moment.

Twelve days later, Si Jinchen and his companions rushed back to the capital.

As for Yan Qingwan, he received a letter sent by Si Jinchen when he arrived at the town closest to the capital.

After watching it, she settled down in the small town.
