When the carriage stopped in front of a large house, Luo Sheng still wrapped Xiao Yunying in his clothes and carried her directly back into the house.
After instructing the servants to boil water, Xiao Yunying remembered, "My luggage is still in the place I stayed before."
If she doesn't get it back, she won't have any clothes to change into.
Luo Sheng asked, "Do you have any valuables?"
"No, just a few sets of clothes."
"Then don't need it. I'll have someone prepare a new one for you."
After the hot water and new clothes were brought, Luo Sheng said, "Take a bath first, and I'll have someone prepare some food for you."
Xiao Yunying's lower body had fully regained sensation. Feeling sticky all over, she was too embarrassed to look at him and simply nodded to indicate that she understood.
Luo Sheng didn't say anything more, and dismissed all the servants, leaving her alone in the room.
Xiao Yunying quickly bolted the door, checked the windows, then went into the supermarket, washed herself as fast as she could, changed into new clothes, put on a sanitary napkin, and came out.
As she dried her hair and looked at the clothes that Luo Sheng had prepared, she noticed several long, sandbag-like objects on a tray.
"What is this thing?"
It's light and airy; it's not a sandbag.
I picked it up and examined it closely before I figured out what it was.
It is a menstrual belt used by women in ancient times.
Xiao Yunying blushed and put it down.
I didn't expect this big man to be so thoughtful; he even prepared this.
Thinking about what had just happened, Xiao Yunying took a deep breath.
It's okay, it's just embarrassing. You'll get used to it after a while.
A lifetime is neither long nor short; it passes by very quickly.
She adjusted her mindset, dried her hair, and opened the door. The first person she saw was Luo Sheng, who had changed into a new outfit and was leaning against a pillar.
What are you doing here?
Luo Sheng straightened up: "I was worried about you. Are you done washing?"
Xiao Yunying took off the towel she was using to dry her hair: "I'm done washing."
Luo Yong narrowed his eyes; he hadn't heard the sound of water since he came out.
There was not even a sound of breathing.
Just now, I heard a faint sound coming from the room again.
He entered the room without making a sound, glanced at the arrangement of things and the water in the bathtub, and then called over a servant: "Get things ready."
Xiao Yunying looked at her dirty clothes that she had left on the ground being taken away: "This..."
Luo Sheng said, "Don't worry, I'll have them burn it."
Xiao Yunying closed her eyes and muttered softly, "You get used to losing face after a while."
Hearing her murmurs, Luo Sheng lowered his head and covered the smile on his lips with his fist.
When it was time to eat, Luo Sheng first had someone bring him a bowl of red date soup.
"I asked the matrons in the manor, and they said it's good for women to drink this when they have their period."
Thinking back to everything Luo Sheng had done from the palace until now, Xiao Yunying felt a moment of emotion: "Thank you."
Luo Sheng said, "I am your husband, there is no need for such formalities between us."
Xiao Yunying's initial感动 vanished instantly, and she lowered her head to eat without saying another word.
Seeing her like this, Luo Sheng didn't say anything more and quietly ate his meal.
After Xiao Yunying finished eating, her mind started to wander again.
She had so many questions she wanted to ask, but she didn't know whether she should ask them or not.
Luo Sheng had the food removed: "Ask whatever you want."
Xiao Yunying then became blunt: "Why does the Empress Dowager know that I can improve weapons and have a method for refining salt? Yuan Cheng clearly told me to keep it a secret. What exactly does she want to do with me?"
Luo Sheng didn't hide anything: "The method of refining salt was personally reported by Chen Yuancheng. He used this to get you the status of a county princess and an imperial gold medal. From now on, you won't have to kneel before anyone except the Emperor, the Empress, and the Empress Dowager. Judging by the time, the imperial edict and the gold medal should have arrived at your home by now."
Xiao Yunying was deeply moved by Chen Yuancheng's unexpected gesture.
No wonder he's her considered a good friend; he really knows her too well.
Seeing her touched expression, Luo Sheng felt slightly displeased: "The Empress Dowager's people have infiltrated the Imperial Study and leaked the news by peeking at the memorials."
Xiao Yunying didn't understand: "Then why did the Empress Dowager arrest me? To kill me and silence me? She could have easily sent an assassin to kill me secretly. Why did she want to use me to threaten you? Shouldn't she have arrested your son or Madam Luo instead?"
Seeing that Xiao Yunying hadn't really thought things through, Luo Sheng felt that she was still quite naive at times.
"The Empress Dowager thinks you are useful and wants you to divorce me or fake your death so that her son can take you as a concubine and use you for their purposes."
Xiao Yunying was once again amazed by the whimsical ideas of the ancients, and couldn't help but exclaim, "You ancient people really know how dirty things are!"
They can come up with and do any kind of ridiculous nonsense; they have absolutely no shame.
Luo Song asked in confusion, "We ancient people?"
Xiao Yunying cleared her throat and sat up straight: "Will Madam Luo and the children be in danger?"
Luo Yong refilled her jujube tea: "Not for the time being. Recently, the Ninth Prince has angered the public by embezzling disaster relief grain and has been confined to his residence by the Emperor. The Empress Dowager is busy exonerating her son and dares not provoke me."
"That's good."
After a moment of silence, Luo Sheng spoke first: "Yun Ying, the capital is probably not peaceful lately. I know you are not feeling well, but it is really not suitable for you to stay here for long. You should go back first thing tomorrow morning."
Xiao Yunying knew what this meant: "And what about you?"
Luo Sheng truthfully replied, "I will be leaving soon. I have collected a lot of evidence of the Ninth Prince's various crimes in Shu, as well as evidence of his recruitment of soldiers and the private raising of an army. I need to bring this evidence back."
"Then...is it very dangerous?"
Luo Sheng suddenly laughed: "You're worried about me?"
Xiao Yunying said irritably, "Isn't that obvious? I'd be worried about Walnut and Pine Nut if they stayed up on the mountain for too long."
Laugh, laugh, what's so funny? You don't even need to think about how dangerous this is. How can this scoundrel still laugh?
Luo Sheng wasn't angry when she compared him to the two dogs: "My martial arts skills are pretty good, I should be fine."
Xiao Yunying wanted to give him some chili powder or pepper for self-defense, but unfortunately she came empty-handed and had nothing to hide, so she didn't dare to take it out casually.
She added worriedly, "Then you must be careful, and whatever you do, prioritize your own life."
Luo Sheng looked at her gently and solemnly replied, "I will."
