Chapter 73 The Prince Consort's Prisoner (73)



Xiao Qi then understood what his host wanted to ask, and wondered whether he had forgotten to tell the host, or the host had forgotten what he had said.

But that doesn't seem to matter.

[No, Master, Xiao Qi can guarantee it 100%.]

It even remembers to block the pain caused by poisoning, so how could it forget to block the pain caused by death.

But Ning Wan didn't know what Xiao Qi was thinking, so even with Xiao Qi's assurance, Ning Wan still couldn't completely let go of her worries.

A cool breeze continued to blow into the carriage. Shen Jingyi looked at Ning Wan, who was in great spirits, and did not stop her.

But when the cold wind blew on his face, he still frowned.

Xiaoju, who was standing by, didn't have the heart to spoil Ning Wan's mood, so she just pulled the blanket covering Ning Wan up a little more.

Ning Wan seemed to be fascinated by what she saw, maintaining the same posture without moving much. If she hadn't blinked from time to time, Xiaoju would have thought that her princess had fainted again.

On the way to the border, we stopped and walked many times, and three days passed in a flash.

Thanks to his familiarity with Anping, the driver did not let the group sleep outdoors. The relationship between Ning Wan and Shen Jingyi was not affected at all by Wu Qi.

On the contrary, Xiaoju, looking at Wu Qi who was becoming more and more silent and serious, was thinking about whether to tell the truth about the fake letter she had written before, but then she thought of Shen Jingyi.

Even though she didn't want to admit it, the fact seemed to be that Her Royal Highness the Princess liked him a little more.

Xiaoju stopped thinking about telling Wu Qi the truth and looked at Ning Wan who was playing Gobang with Shen Jingyi heartlessly.

"Yeah, it's my turn again."

Ning Wan put away the five white pieces on the chessboard and knocked down a black piece that was blocking her.

Shen Jingyi looked at the complacent Ning Wan lovingly, his eyebrows raised slightly: "Well, Your Highness the Princess is really amazing."

In an instant, the smile on Ning Wan's face froze.

The eyes that were originally looking at the chess game also raised up and looked at Shen Jingyi, wanting to ask: Are you serious?

But Shen Jingyi's expression seemed too sincere, which made Ning Wan less confused.

Ning Wan glanced down, staring closely at the black piece that Shen Jingyi had just placed. After carefully observing it and confirming that there was no problem, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Don't think that just because you said that, I will let you go. It's impossible."

As he said this, he placed another piece on the chessboard and laughed.

Shen Jingyi frowned slightly, then quickly relaxed and replied softly, “Yeah.”

Xiaoju looked at Her Royal Highness the Princess, who didn't notice anything unusual, and glanced at the chessboard on the table: Well, it's a bit obvious that she's letting the game go.

But Her Royal Highness the Princess seemed to be the one who was let off.

But so what? As long as Her Royal Highness the Princess is happy.

"Whoa—" After an unknown amount of time, the carriage stopped again.

"Your Highness, we will reach the border in one hour. Do you want to continue on your journey?" The coachman stopped the carriage in front of an inn, glanced into the distance, and asked respectfully after stopping the carriage.

At this time, Ning Wan had already realized that Shen Jingyi was letting her win. She stared at Shen Jingyi's face for a while, but still couldn't find any flaws, as if he really couldn't beat her.

But the problem was that he was exposed. Ning Wan looked at several black spots that he had no time to block.

The first time Shen Jingyi went to the side, she felt relieved.

The second time, Shen Jingyi went down to the side again, and she was still relieved.

The third time, Shen Jingyi moved to another place. She was so relieved. It was not like she couldn't afford to lose. She was playing Gobang, not Go.

Ning Wan angrily put the chess piece in her palm, which had not yet been played, back into the small bowl next to her. A series of clattering sounds were heard in the carriage.

Then, Ning Wan leaned sideways, opened the curtain, and looked outside.

The sky was getting dark, and the cold wind was even more biting when it blew on our bodies.

I'm afraid one hour may not be enough.

"Forget it, let's travel tomorrow." Ning Wan lowered the curtain and got out of the car.

She really didn't want to stay in the carriage any longer.

When Ning Wan thought about the fact that she was the one who was let off, and then thought about her own shameless words not long ago, she felt ashamed and her earlobes turned red.

The sudden change left Xiaoju completely unable to react.

When I came to my senses, I heard the footsteps of Her Royal Highness the Princess landing in the distance.

There was also a warning gaze falling on him.

Xiaoju: She didn't say a word. It was obviously you who let it go too much and got discovered. Why are you glaring at her?

She is so innocent.

The more Xiaoju thought about it, the more scared she became.

Woo woo, Your Highness Princess, please come and save Xiaoju!

Perhaps it was because the pressure Shen Jingyi brought to Xiaoju was too strong, Xiaoju could only lower her head and wait for Shen Jingyi to leave.

But Shen Jingyi just calmly collected the chess pieces on the chessboard, with no intention of getting off the carriage at all.

Then the rhythmic sound of chess pieces colliding with each other began to be heard again in the carriage.

Xiaoju really wanted to shout: Stop, this is my job!

But the reality is that he could only watch Shen Jingyi put the chess pieces into the container one by one.

At this moment, the curtain was lifted again.

Shen Jingyi raised his eyes. He thought that this person really didn't care about him anymore. Before the corners of his mouth could even rise, they froze slightly.

Shen Jingyi had already put down the chess piece and was about to stand up when he saw Ning Wan reach out and pull her maid out.

Shen Jingyi looked at the car curtain that was closed again, and then glanced at the messy chess game.

Are you really angry?

Just because he let it go?

It seems that I have to be more careful when releasing water next time.

Shen Jingyi collected the chess pieces again, and this time his hands moved much faster. Soon all the chess pieces were collected.

After getting off the carriage, Shen Jingyi glanced at the inn in front of him, and then glanced at Wu Qi who was grooming the horse beside him.

Well, just bear with it for one more night.

Perhaps because it is close to the border, the inn here is a bit deserted compared to the previous inn.

Ning Wan and Xiao Ju stood at the counter and booked three rooms as before.

I ordered some more food and asked the waiter to bring it up.

Shen Jingyi frowned again as he looked at Ning Wan, who didn't even want to eat with him.

But Ning Wan ignored Chen Jingyi, and even ignored Xiaoju beside him. She just gave a few simple instructions and hurried to the reserved room.

Shen Jingyi, realizing something was wrong, quickly followed.

But Ning Wan was still one step faster.

Ning Wan in the room could no longer suppress her coughing.

Ning Wan supported herself on the table with her left hand, bent her body slightly, and covered her mouth with her right hand as hard as she could, trying to make her voice a little quieter and less scary.

But the more I suppress my cough, the more violent it becomes.

As expected, two or three drops of blood flowed out of his mouth.
