Chapter 17 Iced Mint Nectar
Xie Chenbo stared at her with dark and cold eyes: "You knew I was looking for the jade seal, so I deliberately used it to lure the captain into the trap. You wanted to use me to kill him, but you didn't fall for his drug."
Xiangying put away the emerald and showed an indifferent smile on her beautiful face.
"With his level of skill, it would be too early for him to drug me."
The silver needle did prick her, but it felt like a mosquito bite, neither painful nor itchy.
What's more, Xiangying was proficient in acupuncture points, and he pressed the Xinguan acupoint twice to prevent the drug from spreading to the brain.
Yellow Beard’s ability is only enough to deal with children.
The reason she didn't fight back was because she knew Jie Chen was nearby, and she didn't want to dirty her hands.
After all, it was just as Yellow Beard said, he was at least a captain, and she was the escorted princess of the defeated country.
If she killed Yellow Beard in front of Jie Chen and the soldiers, she didn't know what excuse Nanyue would find to torture her and the children.
"So you're playing weak because you know I'm here?"
"Of course not. I just want you to see clearly, Military Supervisor. No one else wants this seal except you. If I give it to someone else, they will never give it to you."
Xiangying smiled with her red lips, looking harmless under the moonlight.
Although she didn't know why Xie Chen was determined to find the imperial seal of the Western Zhou Dynasty.
But she knew that Xie Chen would definitely send someone to monitor her nearby for this thing.
So she deliberately exposed the wooden jade during the day today just to lure him into the trap.
She didn't have the imperial seal, but that didn't stop her from fooling him.
"Jiang Jun, my request is very simple. You protect me and my child. When we get to South Vietnam, I will only tell you where the imperial seal is hidden."
Xiang Ying narrowed her eyes slightly and put her arm on Jie Chen's shoulders: "We had friendship after all..."
Before she could finish her words, Jie Chen suddenly pushed her hand away, turned sideways, and spoke in a sharp and cold tone.
"I told you not to mention the past anymore, or I'd rather give up the seal and kill you."
Xiangying curled his lips.
I secretly cursed him for being so ungraceful, even though he seemed to be having a lot of fun that night.
Well, it seems forced though.
Xie Chen calmed down and looked at her with cold eyes: "You are so powerful, do you still need my protection?"
Xiangying said calmly, with a sense of righteousness: "The children are suffering in exile. I want them to live more comfortably."
"for example?"
"For example, if you can lend me one of your horses, I will make a horse-drawn carriage and the children can ride in it."
After she finished speaking, Xie Chen's face turned cold as ice: "Mad."
Does she think she is out traveling around the world?
Xie Chen turned and left.
No matter how Xiangying called him, he ignored her and it seemed that there was no point in talking.
Xiangying knew that she asked for a lot, but it was not too much.
Sooner or later, Xie Chen will give in.
She returned to the children, and when she passed by Xiang Qianqian, Xiang Ying glanced at her.
Xiang Qianqian lowered her head and shrank back, feeling somewhat guilty for some reason.
The three kids were still arguing about what had just happened.
Xiang Xiuxiu: "What he cares about is his mother."
"What he cares about is the imperial seal. All the people in Nanyue want our imperial seal." Xiang Yuanxiao corrected.
Xiang Yuanlang crossed his arms and pretended to be cold: "She doesn't have the imperial seal."
Tao Xue saw Xiang Ying coming back and quickly stood up: "Princess, did the military supervisor give you any trouble?"
"No." Tao Xue breathed a sigh of relief after Xiangying said that.
The next second, Xiangying returned the emerald to Momoyuki.
"Here, keep your things."
Tao Xue's eyes widened and she hurriedly touched her chest.
He took out a cloth bag, which contained the things that Xiangying had thrown away before.
The emperor's dragon socks, the concubine's pearls, and of course, the disappearing emerald.
Tao Xue was horrified: "I don't even know when the princess took it away!"
Xiangying held his forehead helplessly: "I haven't said anything to you yet, I threw it away at that time, why did you pick it up again?"
Tao Xue smiled shyly: "I'm afraid we'll need some money on the road..."
But how much money can these scraps be exchanged for?
Tao Xue turned her back, put these things away again, and tied them inside her chest.
She learned this method from Xiangying.
The eldest princess could take out hidden food one after another from her proud curves.
She could also hide money and treasure here.
I have to say, no one really doubts that her eldest princess is very smart.
After Xiangying lay down, he took out something covered in dust from his sleeve.
This is her real imperial green.
The whole body is bright in color and the green is very pure.
Xiangying was afraid of losing it, so he replaced the imperial green emerald with Taoxue's emerald.
The truth has always been hidden in her.
Xiangying put the wooden shell back on and placed it close to his body.
This jade was worn around the neck by the original owner since she entered the book. She must have treasured it very much.
Xiangying decided to protect this jade stone as the only evidence to commemorate the existence of the original owner.
The next day, the exile team set off.
Yellow Beard had no hands and had to be carried by the soldiers.
But he was no longer a captain, and the soldiers soon got tired of the trouble and tied him to the back of the horses and dragged him around.
Yellow Beard screamed from time to time, but no one paid any attention.
When the female members of the Imperial Observatory's family who had been abused by him saw this scene, they secretly clenched their fists and felt extremely happy.
This evil man should have been treated like this a long time ago!
The sun is scorching and it is hot.
The children drank water more often and were all wilted from the sun.
Xiangying searched the space, trying to see if there was anything that could cool them down.
Unexpectedly, when she took a look, she discovered that one word on the three-word sign leading from the fourth floor to the fifth floor in the space was lit.
The word "beast" in "言、兽、力" is lit up, and there is an extra refrigerator on the fourth floor!
Xiangying was surprised.
So, the beast corresponds to the ability of her second son Xiang Yuanlang?
Xiangying opened the refrigerator and the cold air hit him in the face, making him feel instantly cool.
The refrigerator is full of frozen ice cubes, and it looks like there is potential for upgrading and expansion.
Xiangying was delighted and immediately broke the ice and poured it into the water bag.
Take two more mint leaves, squeeze in some nectar, and shake evenly.
The three children were wiping their sweat off their faces because of the heat.
Xiangying called them over and quietly handed them the water bag.
"Drink some water."
The two brothers first let their sister Xiang Xiuxiu drink. The little girl took the water bag and took a sip, and suddenly her bright eyes widened.
"Mother, this..."
"Hush!" Xiangying gestured, "Drink it, don't make any noise."
Xiang Xiuxiu swallowed hard.
The cool sweet water, with the fresh scent of mint and the sweetness of nectar, directly awakens the parched and dry body.
That feeling is like a refreshing downpour welcoming a long-scorching desert!
Xiang Xiuxiu gave the water bag to her two brothers, and Xiang Yuanxiao and Xiang Yuanlang drank it with surprise on their faces.
The three of them passed it back and forth, taking a sip and then taking a sip, and their soft little faces all showed joyful smiles.
So sweet and delicious!
However, after a while, Xiang Yuanxiao returned the water bag to Xiang Ying.
"You drink it, you and Tao Xue haven't drunk it yet!"
Tao Xue turned around with her back to him, holding the water bag Xiang Ying had just given her: "Hmm?"
Xiang Yuanxiao didn't have time to close his open mouth.
"How come she has one too? How many water bags do you have?" he asked Xiangying in surprise.
Xiangying pointed to the front and said, "This is given by the military supervisor. Don't worry, drink as much as you want."
The three little guys didn't bother to be polite to her and started drinking voraciously.
The weather was too hot, and after walking for half a day, even the horses could not bear it. The military supervisor finally ordered them to rest beside a shady stream.
Many exiled prisoners jumped into the stream, drank water in big gulps, and scrubbed the mud off their bodies.
The three children said they needed to go to the toilet, so Xiangying took them behind a nearby tree.
Afterwards, he went upstream in the creek and washed the faces and bodies of the three children.
Xiang Xiuxiu was shy and didn't dare to take off her clothes and splash around in the creek like her two brothers.
The Seventh Princess volunteered to come over and said, "Let me help cover Xiuxiu up. Big sister, you wash her."
Xiangying glanced at her flattering smile and said calmly, "Thank you."
The seventh princess opened her clothes, and Xiangying cleaned Xiang Xiuxiu with quick movements.
The little girl's hair was all tangled.
There are too many people around, otherwise Xiangying would really like to rub her well with soap nuts.
Tao Xue washed clothes for the three children. Fortunately, it was the hottest summer day and the sun was scorching, so the wet clothes dried soon after being worn.
When Xiangying was taking the three children back, Xiangli, who was lying on the cart, uttered a muffled groan.
Lin Lingxiang, who was wiping his body, paused, her watery eyes filled with surprise.
"Your Highness, is the Crown Prince awake?"
It has been recommended and I urgently need votes. My dears, please give me a lot of votes!
