Reborn to be without his father but with his son, the prince shouted, "I'm not dead!"

Chapter 108 Jealousy
"I'm glad you're okay." Shen Jing sat down and hugged Ji Anyu tightly.

"Shen Jing! Why did you come here? It's very dangerous here." Ji Anyu's eyes were red. "Do you know that Wei Songlin is lying in ambush in Dongshan to assassinate you?"

"I know, but you are my wife, I will definitely protect you."

Ji Anyu took out the dagger and said, "This dagger was thrown on me by Wei Songlin before he left. He wanted me to use it to kill you."

She handed the dagger to Shen Jing.

Shen Jing let go of Ji Anyu and lowered his eyes to stare at the dagger.

“Nice workmanship.”

He took out the dagger he was carrying and gave it to Ji Anyu, and took Wei Songlin's dagger away.

"Use mine, his stuff is dirty."

"Yeah." Ji Anyu glanced at Shen Jing's torn sleeve, and thought that Shen Jing must have been in a hurry to dismount and go into the mountains to find her, otherwise there wouldn't be a big cut on his sleeve.

"Your sleeve is torn. I'll sew it for you when we get back."

"Okay." Shen Jing hugged Ji Anyu again.

Outside the house, Qing Wu was warming wine by the fire and poured a bowl for Xu Yuyan.

"Mr. Xu, thank you for saving my young lady. I'll drink this bowl first as a token of my respect." Qing Wu drank the wine heartily.

Xu Yuyan looked embarrassed. He was devoted to reading books of sages and rarely drank alcohol. He didn't know how strong this wine was.

Although Qing Wu was sometimes careless, he could also see Xu Yuyan's worry.

"Master Xu, this wine is not strong. It is a medicinal wine made by our doctor Ya Yan. It is cold and damp in the mountains at night. Drinking it will keep your body warm all night long."

Xu Yuyan was surprised, "It's actually medicinal wine, Qingwu is really thoughtful."

“Hehe…” Qing Wu was embarrassed to lower his head.

"It's not that I've thought it through, it's our prince. We've lived outdoors before, and we've even stayed in the mountains. Seeing that it was cold at night, the prince asked Ya Yan to make some medicinal wine for the brothers to drink. We brought them along when we went into the mountains to look for the young lady this time."

Xu Yuyan looked at Qing Wu in shock, "You used to be a secret guard in Prince Zhong's mansion?"

"Yes, but not now. I am serving the young lady now and protecting her safety."

Xu Yuyan lowered his head and smiled, "Being a secret guard means living on the edge of a knife. You are by Miss Ji's side, so at least you don't have to worry all day long."

He lowered his head and drank the medicinal wine in one gulp.

Qing Wu disagreed and said, "Mr. Xu, this is wrong. Miss seems to be peaceful, but in fact, there are hidden dangers, just like the time when Miss was plotted against by Wei Songlin."

Seeing that Xu Yuyan's bowl was empty, she filled it with wine again.

"Mr. Xu, there is an indelible sadness on your face, but you are still missing your deceased relatives." Qing Wu glanced at the mourning clothes on Xu Yuyan.

"My mother passed away not long ago." Xu Yuyan smiled bitterly, picked up the wine and drank it.

"Alas, birth, aging, sickness and death are part of human nature. Mr. Xu, please accept my condolences." Qing Wu filled Xu Yuyan's glass with wine again.

"Actually, I'm quite envious of Master Xu."

"Are you jealous of me?" Xu Yuyan looked at Qing Wu in confusion.

"Yes, I have no parents, and I don't even have the chance to bury my parents."

The corners of Xu Yuyan's mouth twitched slightly. He sighed, drank the wine, and then fell drunk.

"Qing Wu, what happened to Mr. Xu? He is the young lady's savior." Zhu Sha quickly lifted up Xu Yuyan.

"I didn't do anything." Qing Wu shook his head nonchalantly, "Mr. Xu has a terrible alcohol tolerance. He fell down after just a few bowls."

Zhusha said speechlessly, "He is a weak scholar who can't drink alcohol. You poured him several bowls of wine and still complained that he couldn't drink."

"I saw that he had a worried look on his face, so I gave him a chance to vent. Isn't it said that a drink can relieve all worries?" Qing Wu glared at Zhu Sha and took two gulps from the bowl.

Zhusha raised his hand helplessly and hit Qingwu.

"Still drinking? You were negligent in your duty by not keeping an eye on the Crown Prince's Consort, and almost caused her to get into trouble. Why don't you go in and apologize to her?" Qing Wu nodded repeatedly and picked up the warm wine that no one had touched and went into the house.

When Ji Anyu saw Qing Wu coming in, she quickly pushed Shen Jing away with a red face.

"Qingwu, I didn't expect you to go up the mountain with Ajing. How is Hanyan?"

"I asked Qiao Xin to go find her. I don't know what her current situation is. At that time, I just wanted to go to Prince Zhong's Mansion to inform you."

Qing Wu put the wine on the table and knelt in front of Ji Anyu.

"Miss, I failed to protect you. Please punish me as you wish."

"Get up quickly." Ji Anyu wanted to get out of bed and help Qing Wu up. She pinched the indifferent Shen Jing.

"Hurry up and get her up. It's not Qing Wu's fault. Who would have thought that Wei Songlin would run to the toilet without caring about his dignity?"

Qing Wu raised his eyes and glanced at Shen Jing. Seeing Shen Jing nod, he quickly brought the wine to Ji Anyu.

"An Yu is injured and shouldn't drink. You can take it out." Shen Jing motioned Qing Wu to take it away.

"Yes."

Seeing Qing Wu was about to leave, Ji Anyu hurriedly called out, "The two pheasants are cooked. Qing Wu, go and call Master Xu in."

"Ah?" Qing Wu lowered his head like a child who had done something wrong. "I gave Master Xu a few bowls of medicinal wine, and he got drunk. Now he's sleeping soundly."

"Drunk?" Ji Anyu was stunned. Xu Yuyan had just been out for a short time and he was already drunk. It was too fast.

"Well... I didn't know that Master Xu couldn't handle alcohol so well. I saw that it was cold in the mountains and Master Xu looked unhappy. I thought that if he drank some wine, he would feel better both physically and mentally, so I poured him a few more bowls of wine."

Ji Anyu laughed, "Okay, you can go out now."

Qing Wu saw that Ji Anyu was not angry, so he bowed happily and left.

Shen Jing glanced at Qing Wu's back, smiled secretly at what Qing Wu had done, and the jealousy in his heart faded a little.

"Are you laughing?" Ji Anyu caught the man's eyes.

Shen Jing looked at Ji Anyu seriously, "No."

"I saw it all." Ji Anyu smiled and exposed Shen Jing's little thoughts.

"At the beginning, my good mother wanted to arrange a marriage for me, and the person she chose was Xu Yuyan. Speaking of this, Xu Yuyan and I also have a certain fate."

Shen Jing opened his eyes slightly, "Although I thank him for saving you, you two are not destined to be together, not at all!"

He couldn't remember what the man in his dream looked like, but he saw the furnishings of their home after they got married, and he knew they were a wealthy family.

Shen Jing hugged Ji Anyu and said, "I will remember his kindness."

"Oh, you should remember it? I should be the one to remember it."

Shen Jing was dissatisfied and wanted to protest.

Ji Anyu raised his chin and pointed at the pheasant, ordering Shen Jing around unscrupulously.

It was because of Shen Jing that Wei Songlin schemed against her. She would be doing herself a disservice if she didn't ask Shen Jing to help her do something.

"If we don't get them out, they'll burn. Leave one for Master Xu and we'll eat one each."

"Okay." Shen Jing stood up and took the pheasant out of the fire. "Zhu Sha and the others have gone hunting. If you're not full, there are still plenty out there."

Outside?

Wei Songlin's face suddenly flashed through Ji Anyu's mind.

"Ah Jing, how many secret guards did you bring? If you let them go hunting, won't there be no one left to protect you? Maybe Wei Songlin is hiding in a corner waiting for an opportunity to strike."

Shen Jing tore off a chicken leg and handed it to Ji Anyu's mouth.
