Wen Xia and Bao Qiu smiled secretly, there were some things they didn't quite understand, but they had heard from the old people. When they first entered the palace, beautiful girls like them were trained as candidates for concubines.
Su Bei was even more embarrassed. "What made you sleep badly all night? You can just tell me in private. Don't yell!"
Xue Jinrong was even more puzzled, "He just made me sleep poorly all night! He tossed and turned, sighed, and kept trying to cross the border secretly. I had to stare at him all night and even had a fight with him!"
Su Bei was stunned. "You two... were fighting?"
"Of course! I told him a long time ago that he likes to have a concubine and it would be best if we sleep in separate rooms. Who knows what's wrong with him that he has to squeeze in with me and not let me sleep well!" Xue Jinrong complained with a pout.
Upon hearing this, Bao Qiu frowned slightly and asked cautiously, "Princess Jin, have you never seen the things you kept at the bottom of your box when you got married?"
Xue Jinrong looked disdainful, "I don't care what's in it. I didn't even open the box and locked it up in my vault! I've already told him that we'll get divorced in a year or so!"
Su Bei suddenly felt that he was not pure...
She quickly changed the subject, "What did you just say? Zhang Ganzhu's poison?"
"Oh, right, right!" Xue Jinrong became excited when he mentioned seeing a doctor. "I saw his symptoms and it was recorded in that ancient book, so I think there should be an antidote for that poison in Miaojiang! Are you okay? Come with me to Miaojiang, we can just relax and avoid being kept awake by these two brothers!"
Su Bei said with a sad face: "No, I have something to do and I have to leave the day after tomorrow. The emperor asked me to go to Fengyuan."
"Hey? Fengyuan is not far from Miaojiang, how about we go together? I'll do your business first, and then you can go with me to Miaojiang to play for a while!"
"You'd better not go..." Su Bei asked Xia Baoqiu and told her listlessly about the incident of the ghost soldiers passing through the border.
I thought Xue Jinrong would be worried and scared, but unexpectedly, she became even more excited, "I haven't seen it yet! Besides, with Gu Rui following me, it shouldn't be a problem! My father said that Gu Rui is a hidden person with great abilities!"
After saying that, without waiting for Su Bei to reply, she stood up and walked out, "We're leaving the day after tomorrow, right? I'll be waiting for you at the city gate, don't leave me behind!"
Su Bei held his forehead with his hand. What kind of person is Gu Rui? Doctor Xue said he was a hidden talent, but Chu Younan said he was a half-baked person...
Chu Younan: I didn’t say he was half-baked…
——
Two days passed in a flash and it was the eve of departure.
Chu Younan went to Xuanqing Temple to ask for a lot of talismans for Su Bei, including some to be worn on the body, some talismans painted on yellow paper, and a magic sword with runes engraved on it.
However, he did not say any goodbye that night, nor did he show any sadness about parting. He just calmly reminded Su Bei to be careful.
In the middle of the night, someone suddenly came to the palace and said that Chu Yan had a headache and asked Chu Younan to go to the palace to take care of him.
Only then did he show anxiety.
Originally, he planned to act first and report later to go to Fengyuan with Su Bei, but he suddenly had to go to attend to a sick person, which caught him off guard.
"Abei, let Ling Xiao follow you. His martial arts are better than Yun Rou and Yun Xi!" Chu Younan gave his instructions and said solemnly, "Remember to keep a distance from Gu Rui..."
Su Bei was stunned, but there was no time to ask any more questions. They would meet tomorrow anyway.
She only had time to stand on tiptoe and kiss him hard before he left.
Chu Younan intensified the kiss, which added a hint of farewell.
After a while, the two reluctantly separated, Chu Younan's eyes were filled with nostalgia, "I'm leaving first."
"Yeah." Su Bei responded softly and nodded heavily.
I couldn't sleep in the second half of the night and Chu Younan didn't come back all night.
When we set out for Subei early in the morning, he still hadn't come back.
She had no choice but to take a few people out of the city.
It was still dawn, but Xue Jinrong was already waiting at the city gate. It seemed that he was really scared by Chu Youyang...
Xue Jinrong hurriedly got into Su Bei's carriage and finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Well, they didn't catch up. I guess they didn't find me! That big-eyed frog!"
"You really are such a fool. Can't you just try to get along with him? You two were doing well before, always together, and everyone said you were a perfect match..." Su Bei said with regret, "If I could marry Chu Younan as smoothly as you did, I would be so happy!"
"That's because you're going to marry Prince Su! Why don't you try to marry Prince Rui or Prince Jin?" Xue Jinrong rolled his eyes at her, "Can't you see that? The Queen has been confined to her house, and she might be banished to the cold palace soon. When Imperial Concubine Yao takes the throne, Prince Su will be the legitimate son!"
"Do you understand the legitimate son?" Xue Jinrong rolled his eyes at her again, "It means he is one step closer to becoming the crown prince!"
Su Bei really didn’t think that far. He felt that Chu Yan was still strong. Wouldn’t he be the target of public criticism if he became the crown prince?
As the two chatted, the sound of horse hooves could be heard, and Ling Xiao said from outside the car, "Miss Abei! Gu Rui is here!"
Su Bei was really curious, so she quickly stuck her head out. As soon as she saw the person coming, she immediately frowned.
It's warm in May and everyone is wearing gauze clothes, which is understandable.
But can you put on your clothes properly? The collar is loose, and I don’t know if it’s to show off your skinny chest muscles or if you’re in a hurry and don’t have time to put them on properly.
It must be too late, otherwise her hair wouldn't be so disheveled.
If it weren't for his good looks, wouldn't he be considered a slob? But this guy has a pair of fox eyes that sparkle, and a smile on his lips. Although his hair is disheveled and his clothes are untidy, he has a kind of casual beauty.
"Miss Abei!" Gu Rui had a smile on his lips, which always made Su Bei feel that his eyes were seductive.
"... Good morning, Master Tianshi, shall we set off now?" Su Bei laughed awkwardly. No wonder Chu Younan asked her to keep a distance from Gu Rui, this guy is really too coquettish, I wonder how jealous Brother Nan Nan is!
"Wait a minute! I have a friend who wants to go with me!" Gu Rui saw that she seemed to be smiling, and he also looked at others.
Su Bei breathed a sigh of relief. This person probably had facial paralysis...
She whispered, "We're not going there for fun. I heard it's very dangerous. Does your friend know?"
Gu Rui laughed and nodded at her, "What a thoughtful girl! I love you!"
Hmm? Xue Jinrong was stunned. Is this guy sick? How dare he say such things to the woman of Prince Su? Looking for trouble? She was just about to teach Gu Rui a lesson when she heard the sound of horse hooves approaching. Gu Rui turned around and smiled again, "Be punctual! I love you!"
All right……
So this is their catchphrase, but it seems a little weird...
The person who came was actually Cheng Shi...
Su Bei was a little surprised, but Gu Rui was a big shot, and they would have to rely on him to exorcise ghosts and other things in the future, so he could just take him with him, it wouldn't matter if he didn't have that little bit of dry food.
When Cheng Shi saw Su Bei, his face turned red again, "Miss Abei, I'm sorry to bother you..."
Gu Rui laughed, "Oh my, why are you so nice usually, but now you become so innocent? Your little face is so red, wow, you would be so beautiful if you were a girl!"
Cheng Shi’s face turned even redder…
Su Bei: This guy is just looking for fun and doesn’t mind getting involved! He really doesn’t seem to be that serious…
