Chapter 242 Madam Qin is missing! 】
Shen Fenghe was stunned for a moment, and her cheeks couldn't help but turn red.
At such a close distance, Xiao Yunshuo could even feel Chen Fenghe's body trembling.
The temperature felt by the fingertips also turned cold, completely different from the previous heat.
"Has the poison in your body been cured?"
Xiao Yunshuo asked, a flash of surprise in his eyes.
How did she solve it?
If he had the antidote on him, he would have taken it right away instead of waiting until he returned to the inn.
But the poison was removed in just one stick of incense left alone in the room?
Upon hearing this, Chen Fenghe nodded and said, "Yes. I told you I have a way..."
But she didn't go on to explain the specific method.
Seeing that she was still leaning weakly in his arms, her body shivering from the cold, Xiao Yunshuo temporarily put aside the doubts in his heart and raised his hand to untie the ties of Shen Fenghe's wet clothes.
Chen Fenghe was stunned for a moment, then quickly raised her hand to grab Xiao Yunshuo's hand and whispered, "Your Highness, don't..."
Xiao Yunshuo stared at her without blinking, and said indifferently, "Are you so unwilling?"
Chen Fenghe also realized that her refusal was a bit too obvious. After all, she was the Crown Princess and they had a legitimate husband-wife relationship. If she kept rejecting him, it would definitely arouse his suspicion.
So she quickly evaded the question, "I'm feeling very cold right now, and I'm worried about passing it on to His Highness... Also, I have to go back quickly... If Mother wakes up and finds me gone, she might get worried. If I alert the officials again, I'm afraid I won't be able to explain myself..."
Xiao Yunshuo still glared at her, his dark eyes so deep that it was impossible to see his emotions.
Then, Xiao Yunshuo's hands moved again, still undressing her.
Chen Fenghe sighed inwardly, it looked like she couldn't escape tonight.
Well, she is a modern person anyway, so she doesn't mind this.
She has always refused, mainly because she was afraid that she would fall deeper and deeper in love.
It soaked through the clothes and fell to the ground, making a slight sound.
Chen Fenghe shuddered. She was only wearing her bellyband. She didn't know whether it was because of nervousness or cold.
Although she is not rigid in her ideas, she had been busy with her career before she traveled through time and space, and she actually had no experience, so it would be a lie to say that she was not nervous.
Xiao Yunshuo put his hand on her back and pulled her into his arms.
Suddenly, there was a commotion outside. Shen Fenghe recognized Qian Qiuyun's voice: "Oh no! Someone's running away!"
Soon, Yuan Xu's anxious voice came from outside the door: "Master, this is not good!"
Chen Fenghe's body trembled, and the next moment, a soft cloak was draped over her. It was Xiao Yunshuo's cloak.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Yunshuo asked coldly.
Yuan Xu whispered, "It's the Emperor... Madam Qin is missing! The Qin family is making a fuss, saying that Madam Qin and Madam Shen... took the opportunity to escape!"
Chen Fenghe and Xiao Yunshuo were both startled and looked at each other.
Shen Fenghe's face turned pale.
It makes sense to say that she escaped, after all, she is not in her room now, but what does it mean to say that Qin Mengyue escaped?
Could it be...
Those three scoundrels tonight were not coming for her, but for Qin Mengyue?
Even that flower-stealing thief was the same, except he'd caught the wrong person? Or... was it just a trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain, with the goal of taking her away so someone else could capture Qin Mengyue?
What about the other three little ones? What happened to them? Were they also captured?
"You stay here for a while, I'll go take a look." Xiao Yunshuo said in a low voice.
Chen Fenghe really wanted to go over and see what was going on, but her current condition was not suitable. Besides, there must be a lot of people outside at the moment. If she went out rashly and was caught by others, she would not be able to explain herself. So she could only nod for the time being.
