My husband married a concubine? I turned around and married the cold prince.

Chapter 221: Girl's Thoughts

What could have been the lost thing that made him so anxious and go to so much trouble to hunt down the thief?

"Keep investigating. If you find any clues, report to me immediately." Shi Qiuwu waved his hand to signal Tianji to leave.

After Tianji left, Shi Qiuwu drank the medicine and was about to rest when he suddenly remembered that An Qingqian was poisoned and injured.

She was also poisoned last night. Could it be that she was the one who was poisoned last night?

But that's not right. He was familiar with An Qingqian's skills. Even if there were many masters in the academy, she would at most be injured in a fight with them. How could she be poisoned?

No, no, Shi Qiuwu shook his head. It shouldn’t be An Qingqian. Why would she go to the brothel in the middle of the night for no reason?

Because of Wu Tiancheng's injury last time, Prince Dingyuan was keeping an eye on the General's Mansion. She should have known about this and would not have taken such a risk at this time.

Shi Qiuwu quickly ruled out An Qingqian, but, in the capital, besides her, who else would have such skills to ensure that she would not be caught by Prince Dingyuan's men in the first place, and also have a purpose against Prince Dingyuan?

Two people quickly appeared in Shi Qiuwu's mind, Prince Yong and Prince Cheng!

They have no shortage of such masters in their hands, and according to previous news, Prince Yong and Prince Dingyuan had once secretly contacted each other.

Perhaps, the thief who sneaked into the brothel last night was one of them.

Thinking of this, Shi Qiuwu called a few more people and ordered them to keep a close eye on Prince Yong's Mansion and Prince Cheng's Mansion.

After two days of rest, An Qingqian's body recovered a lot. During these two days, Shi Qiuwu came every day to transfer one hour's internal energy to An Qingqian, which helped An Qingqian recover faster.

"Miss, you are finally feeling better today. You scared me to death these past two days." Bo Yun handed Yingyi a hairpin, and Yingyi put it on An Qingqian's head.

"I was too careless and fell into the trap. I won't do that again next time." An Qingqian smiled gently.

"Miss, has the servant asked someone to serve the meal?"

Seeing that An Qingqian had packed everything, Boyun looked at her inquiringly.

"Send someone to see if Daddy is busy this morning. If Daddy is free, bring the meal directly to Daddy. I want to have breakfast with Daddy."

"Yes."

An Qingqian stared at herself in the mirror. Although she was not as weak as before, her face was still very pale.

She still felt weak all over, but at least she could get down and walk by herself now.

Otherwise she would just lie in bed all the time, eating, taking medicine, and sleeping.

Thinking about what happened last night when Shi Qiuwu came over, An Qingqian couldn't help but blushing.

It would be nice if such a warm atmosphere could always remain like this.

However, she found Shi Qiuwu a little strange.

Last night, she accidentally placed her hand on Shi Qiuwu's wrist, and he quickly pulled his hand back.

She was shocked at the time. Shi Qiuwu did not explain, but just grabbed her hand and held it tightly.

At that time she didn't suspect anything, she just thought Shi Qiuwu wanted to grab her hand, but now she thinks about it.

His reaction seemed a bit too much.

But, under what circumstances would he refuse to let me touch his wrist?

Is there some secret in his wrist?

An Qingqian frowned slightly and thought for a long time but still couldn't figure it out.

"Dad." An Qingqian walked to the dining table and bowed to An Zhenyuan.

"Okay, there's no need for all these polite formalities between us father and daughter. Please sit down." Seeing his daughter, An Zhenyuan's cold face broke into a gentle smile.

"Qianqian, how do you feel today?" An Zhenyuan looked at An Qingqian with concern.

"Dad, today is much better than the past two days."

"Well, that's good. After dinner, ask Zeng Ren to take another look at it for you. You were a little careless this time. Don't do that again next time."

An Zhenyuan frowned and instructed.

"Dad, I get it. I wasn't careful enough this time. I won't do that again next time." An Qingqian smiled and nodded.

"Next time? There won't be a next time." An Zhenyuan shook his head, full of disapproval.

"Qianqian, originally I didn't want you to worry about these things, but seeing that you really care about me, I'm about to leave the mansion again, so it would be better if you knew about these things."

An Zhenyuan paused and looked at his daughter. An Qingqian still hadn't recovered and looked very haggard.

"Qianqian, before I leave this time, I'll leave a few people with you. They are all top-notch experts around me, and they are no worse than Bo Yun and Ying Yi.

Moreover, they are away from home all year round, have more experience, and react faster. You can keep them with you. If there is anything important, just tell them to do it. Don't do everything yourself, or you will be tricked."

"Dad, no need. These people are so powerful, it's better for you to keep them by your side."

"No, leave them to take care of you. I'm at the border with other people. It's almost my territory over there. There won't be any danger.

The capital is full of twists and turns, and you are my daughter, An Zhenyuan. Even if you do nothing, someone will inevitably attack you and put you in danger."

"Dad, they have some plans against me, but I am not someone who knows nothing. Besides, they are proud of their status and will not do anything to me openly. Yingyi and Boyun are powerful enough.

Also, some time ago, I took in another person. This person has excellent martial arts skills, good concealment skills, and good eyesight. He can be used by me for the time being, so I don't lack manpower.

Although all the people at the border are yours, there are also some trusted people sent in by others, so you have to be more careful."

An Qingqian shook her head and rejected An Zhenyuan's kindness.

"Okay, keep these people. No need to say anything more. Daddy is very powerful and will never let evil people lurk around me."

"But, Daddy..." An Qingqian looked at An Zhenyuan and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by him.

"Qianqian, you are my daughter, the only thing in my heart. Only when you are safe and sound can I feel at ease to do other things outside, understand?

They are my confidants, you can trust them completely, if there are any difficult things, leave them to them, remember, no matter when, as long as you are well, everything will be fine. "

Seeing that An Qingqian was still hesitating, An Zhenyuan changed the subject and brought up another matter.

"Qianqian, Daddy will ask you one more thing, please don't feel embarrassed."

"What?" The topic changed so quickly that An Qingqian almost didn't react and spoke suspiciously.

"It's about Shi Qiuwu and you." After An Zhenyuan said the name, he stared at his daughter.

Seeing the shyness of a little girl on her face, I knew what was going on.
