Chapter 379
Wang Yanqing heard the neat and powerful footsteps outside, and could hardly wait to bite him. She leaned on his shoulders, clutching his clothes tightly, breathing hard, her voice trembling. Lu Heng looked at her misty and enduring cute eyes, thinking that contradictions are the most attractive, such a cold charm is enough to drive any man crazy.
Unfortunately, there is not enough time today. Another day, he must make her speak.

They disguised as a wedding boat along the way, and they stopped and went, and they were fairly stable. Wang Yanqing had never been to the south before. She was worried that she would get seasick after getting on the boat, but she didn't expect to respond at all, except to deal with an unfilial person who came to visit her sister's boudoir at night from time to time.
In the evening, when there were few people on the river, Wang Yanqing would also put on a curtain and go to the deck to relax. Sometimes Lu Heng accompanies her, but after all, Lu Heng is a person with public duties, and most of the time he can't make it, so Wang Yanqing takes her maid for a walk.
The Jinyiwei on board knew that this was the Duchess' wife, so they didn't dare to stop him and let Wang Yanqing act. But Wang Yanqing was very aware of the importance, and usually only went to the stern of the boat, and would not approach the place where the "dowry" was placed.
Lu Heng believed in Wang Yanqing very much in this regard and did not restrict her movements, but after the ship passed Xuzhou, the patrol on the ship was obviously tight, and Wang Yanqing understood that she would enter Nanzhili next, which is a place frequented by Japanese pirates, and she also decreased. When walking, try to stay in the cabin as much as possible.
The further south you go, the hotter and hotter the weather is. It's June, and Lu Heng is afraid that Wang Yanqing will make him suffocated, so he made a special trip to find her in the evening: "Sister, the water on the river is light and foggy today, and there is a beautiful sunset. What do you want? Don't accompany your brother to see?"
When Wang Yanqing heard this, she asked in surprise, "Now?"
"Yes." Lu Heng took her hand and said, "The news came back yesterday that 1,000 Jinyiwei have arrived in Nanzhili, and there is a special team escorting our ship on the shore. You don't have to be so nervous, it's okay to go out to relax. Don't want the Japanese pirates to not see, and make my wife sick first, that's all thanks to me."
Wang Yanqing was quietly relieved when she heard that someone was following them on the shore. However, she raised her eyes, and the end of her eyes showed a trace of seductiveness, like a hook, she said with a half-smile, "Now you're not a big brother again?"
Lu Heng smiled and clenched her slender hand tightly, as if she had just remembered, and said, "I almost forgot, my sister is not my wife yet."
Staying in the cabin all day, Wang Yanqing really wanted to go outside to get some air. With Lu Heng present, Wang Yanqing felt relieved and said, "Wait a moment, I'll change my clothes."
She was wearing a thin translucent gauze in the cabin, and she definitely couldn't wear it when she went out. Wang Yanqing's original intention was to ask Lu Heng to wait outside, but Lu Heng said boldly, as if he didn't understand people's words, "I'll help my sister change. When I was a child, my sister's clothes were all made by me for you."
Wang Yanqing shoved him angrily and stared at him, "Don't make trouble."
Lu Heng blinked and smiled: "I'm talking about helping you get your clothes. Where did my sister go?"
Wang Yanqing felt that sooner or later she would be pissed to death by Lu Heng.
In the end, Wang Yanqing changed her clothes behind the screen, and Lu Heng stood outside the screen and helped her hand over her clothes. In fact, handing over the clothes is completely a part of Lu Heng's practice. With such a large screen, can't you wear a dress?
Standing behind the misty and rainy screen, Lu Heng had a good look at the slender and hazy curve of the valley behind the misty rain. Qingqing may not know that, compared to seeing it directly, it is the most attractive when it is looming and half-covered.
Wang Yanqing changed into a begonia red Song brocade gown and a goose-colored pleated skirt at the waist. Jiangnan is hot and humid, and even the wind is stuffy, so you can only wear Song Jin, which is light, delicate, firm and soft. Wang Yanqing was forced by her status to return to the time when she was just married, and she had to wear bright red clothes every day.
After Wang Yanqing was ready, Lu Heng helped her put on the curtain, and the two walked to the deck together. Seeing Lu Heng and Wang Yanqing, the people outside lowered their eyes and called out "Master" and "Miss" skillfully.
The sunset tonight is really beautiful. The sky seems to have knocked over a plate of dye, and it is burning enthusiastically. Even the river surface is reflected in the aftermath of the fire, the orange, gold, and red are unpredictable.
Jiang Feng came and lifted Wang Yanqing's veil. She pressed down on the brim of her hat and asked, "Any plans for the next step?"
This was on the river, and when he looked up and saw no ships, Wang Yanqing dared to speak freely. Lu Heng helped her to block the wind on the river and said, "Go to Suzhou first and investigate the death of Zhu Wan."
The death of Zhu Wan was a knot in the emperor's heart, and finding out the cause of Zhu Wan's death was not only a replacement for the loyal ministers, but also a focal point to cut into the chaos in Jiangnan's officialdom.
Wang Yanqing nodded. Zhu Wan was from Suzhou. After he "killed himself in fear of sin", the old servants collected the bones and sent them back to their hometown for burial. Suzhou happened to be along the canal, so they disembarked to investigate the case, and also offered a stick of incense to Zhu Wan.
Wang Yanqing thought of the things on the ship, and hurriedly asked: "I am afraid that Zhu Wan's death cannot be investigated in a day or two. What about the... dowry on the ship?"
They have disembarked, who will take care of the boxes? Lu Heng held on to the fence, facing the vast Changfeng, and said lightly: "It can only be docked on the shore."
Thinking of the scene, Wang Yanqing couldn't help lowering his voice: "There are a lot of things on the ship. If someone is watching, someone robs the ship while you are not there, or some pirates come, what should I do?"
