The young man seemed to have seen the meaning behind the princess's expression and quickly tried to make amends.
"If you don't believe me, go ask around. In this area, besides me, who else dares to say that the Ice Stone can be taken away at any time?"
The boy looked as if someone had stepped on his tail and hurriedly tried to explain himself.
"We didn't say we didn't believe it! Why are you so anxious?"
The eldest princess was startled by the boy's sudden high voice. She quickly stroked the dog twice to calm down.
“…”
The boy wanted to say something, but didn't know where to start.
Sister, your expression right now says it all, okay!
You say you believe it, but do you believe it yourself?
Bai Shu only raised her lips slightly when she saw this. Their eldest princess was still so cute. She continued,
"No problem, food and lodging are provided, but you have to ensure that we find the Ice Stone within a month."
The princess didn't know the details, but Bai Shu knew it very well.
Not to mention the border, even in the entire Dongye, there are only a handful of people who can recognize the Ice Stone.
So as expected, there is a cause and an effect. The sloppy puppy they accidentally rescued actually helped them solve their biggest problem by accident.
The eldest princess: “???”
Xiao Moqing: “???”
Bai Shu's words successfully silenced the uncle and nephew.
The eldest princess was thinking, this little brat, who can only talk, is worthy of their food and accommodation for a month?
What Xiao Moqing was thinking was, this inexplicable Seventh Prince is going to eat and live with them for a month?
There was still no news from the men sent to investigate Ji Zhe's identity. He still didn't believe that Ji Zhe had only a simple identity.
Now we have to be careful not to let Bai Shu be stolen away by the princess.
And I have to be on the lookout for that other little brat who just keeps chattering, "Sister, sister!"
When the young man heard Bai Shu agreed, he immediately smiled happily, but when he thought of her conditions, he felt a little embarrassed and said,
"Sister, you agree! But one month is a bit tight. The Ice Stone is at Wuliang Cliff, and with so many of us, it's definitely not going to be quick. How about one and a half months?"
The boy started to play the victim again, pouting and frowning pitifully, all in one breath.
And the little yellow-haired cat in his hand seemed to sense his owner's emotions and started to act cute and pitiful.
It's definitely hard to refuse.
After Xiao Mo heard the three words "Wuliangya", he paused holding the teacup.
This seventh prince is indeed no simple person. He can enter and exit freely in places where his subordinates have not been able to bring out any news so far.
"Don't worry about the time, just follow us."
Bai Shu naturally would not be fooled by the boy's coquettish and cute behavior.
She was more worried about Xiao Moqing. The sooner she found the medicine, the sooner Xiao Moqing could be free from pain.
Don't be fooled by the fact that he seems to have not changed much on the surface. In fact, the pain he is enduring is increasing day by day.
Even though she was helping him with his treatment, and even though Xiao Moqing hadn't used his internal energy for a long time,
However, the toxicity of Gintama Powder cannot be underestimated. It can cause people to suffer half to death.
"Okay!"
The boy readily agreed. It would be very interesting for him to go out with them.
"Shu'er, will he really be obedient?"
Although the eldest princess trusts Bai Shu unconditionally, this child in front of her doesn't seem reliable no matter how you look at her, right?
They wouldn't be fooled, would they? And what was the use of the ice stone?
The emperor and empress have already given them a lot, isn’t that enough?
“???”
"Sister, you don't have to ask this in front of me."
The young man's defense was broken. He gritted his teeth as he spoke. These words came out of his mouth word by word.
Is he really so disobedient?
"We don't even know who you are. It's normal to have questions, right?"
The eldest princess was not opposed to this child whom she had met twice.
But no one would trust a stranger so easily, right? What if they took her away without knowing anything about her background?
"I'm just a traveling merchant from around here. I just happened to have some business in Luan County."
"I have a name, sister, you can call me Azhe."
As the young man spoke, he suddenly leaned closer to the eldest princess, with a big smile on his face.
The little dog he picked up and placed next to his head stuck out its pink tongue and smiled.
The princess looked at the two lovely people in front of her, and her heart skipped a beat.
The boy's laughter came from his throat, as if it was magical, infecting the people around him.
"Oh, Da Huang is still cuter."
The princess was only stunned for a moment, she took Da Huang, put him on her lap, and started eating.
During this time, I did not forget to feed the dog some rhubarb. The dog was so happy that its tail was wagging to the sky.
The dog's owner, who had already received permission for free food and lodging, asked the waiter for bowls and chopsticks.
Also started to enjoy the delicious food.
Bai Shu glanced at Ji Zhe and said in her heart,
[Your Majesty, the task of investigating the Seventh Prince is now yours! ]
Bai Shu always felt that the Seventh Prince was a little strange, but she couldn't tell what was strange about him.
She felt that Ji Zhe was teasing the princess on purpose every time.
Whether it was to make her angry or to make her happy, it was too intimate.
I wonder if this is her illusion, as if Ji Zhe is deliberately trying to make his presence felt in front of the eldest princess?
No matter what, I have to find out the details of the people around me...
Xiao Moqing nodded slightly. Except for Bai Shu, the other two people who were eating with their heads down didn't notice at all.
After the trip to Wuliang Cliff was finalized, Bai Shu also started to eat.
As for Xiao Moqing, he ignored the hand warmer with his left hand, as if only his right hand could be used.
…
After traveling for several days, Ji Zhe finally couldn't stand it anymore.
He leaned against the wall of the carriage, spread his hands, stopped holding the dog, and started complaining.
"Sister, even if you are in a hurry, you can't rush like this!"
"Sitting in a carriage all day has made me feel stupid!"
Ji Zhe originally thought that riding in a carriage with them would mean eating, drinking, playing and traveling.
He never expected that the word "hurrying" really meant it literally. Apart from eating and sleeping, he basically did not rest.
It is true that we can reach Wuliang Cliff within a month, but is there really any need to be so anxious?
With Ji Zhe's joining, Bai Shu and Xiao Moqing were now sitting on the same side of the carriage.
Although the princess was unwilling, she did not dare to disobey her uncle. It was she who took the initiative to propose sitting like this.
She held Dahuang in her arms and considered it the best comfort. She could pet the dog as much as she wanted!
"We traveled this way when we first arrived at the border from Luan County."
"Why? Do you have another way? It's not urgent, and you can get there before us?"
Bai Shu looked at Ji Zhe, who looked like he had lost all hope in life, and had no sympathy for him at all.
Because Bai Shu knew what he was thinking, but she refused to let him have his way.
Xiao Moqing has not yet found out Ji Zhe's hidden identity, which is enough to show that he is not simple.
“…”
It must be said that Bai Shu's words successfully made Ji Zhe shut up.
It would be fine if he didn't mention that incident, but if he did, he wouldn't be able to explain it. He couldn't say that it was his men who saved him, right?
