Chapter 1000: Subtle Sadness
Lan Feng kissed her forehead: "Xiao Wei, meeting you is my greatest luck, and marrying you is my greatest happiness."
"Husband, I think so too."
After arranging the secret guards to go to Dongxiang, Jiang Xiaoan couldn't wait to ask Fudong to take him to the library in the palace.
When he got there, he was surprised to see the room full of books.
The royal family is the royal family. Their collection of books is so rich that it is breathtaking. It would be difficult for a person to read even a small part of it in his entire life.
Fu Dong was about to speak, but found that he had already rushed to the second floor.
It turns out that the palace servants mentioned that the medical books were all on the second floor, which shows his obsession with medicine. This obsession made him achieve great achievements at a young age, which is truly admirable.
When Fu Dong went upstairs, Jiang Xiaoan had already been immersed in a medical book. He was sitting by the window reading intently and did not notice her arrival at all.
Fu Dong sat quietly not far away and watched him. At this moment, he was completely different from his usual playful appearance. He seemed exceptionally quiet, as if he was one with the book in his hands.
Only then did she truly realize how handsome he was. Even Xiao Zhan was slightly inferior to him in appearance.
Thinking of this, Fu Dong couldn't help but shook his head. It was such a pity to lose such a handsome young man.
As the sun sets, the afterglow shines through the window. Jiang Xiaoan looks even more handsome as he bathes in this soft light.
Fudong looked at him. Beautiful things always make people feel relaxed and happy.
As the light gradually dimmed, Jiang Xiaoan moved his body slightly, rubbed his stiff neck and prepared to get up.
Suddenly, he noticed Fu Dong sitting not far away, and was so scared that he immediately sat back in his seat: "Commander Fu Dong, you staring at me like this makes me feel very uncomfortable."
Fu Dong was stunned for a moment before responding: "I didn't see any 'Don't Look' written on you, so I can look if I want to."
Jiang Xiaoan retorted unwillingly: "Don't you understand the principle of not looking at what is inappropriate?"
"I haven't read much, so I really don't know." Fu Dong answered frankly.
Hearing this, Jiang Xiaoan was so surprised that he couldn't speak: "You are the personal guard beside the princess, how can you be so indifferent to the fact that you have little education?"
Fu Dong glanced at him calmly and said, "For me, being skilled in martial arts is enough."
Jiang Xiaoan was speechless for a moment, and felt that it was difficult for him to communicate with Fu Dong, so he simply stood up and warned her: "Don't stare at me casually in the future, otherwise I will really be scared."
Before he finished speaking, Fu Dong quickly pushed him to the corner and whistled softly:
"It's your business if you feel scared, but it's my freedom to watch you. Jiang Xiaoan, I can watch if I want to, what can you do to me? Even if you write the three words 'can't watch', I will still watch!"
Jiang Xiaoan was filled with helplessness: "Why have you become like a street thug? Do you still remember that you are a woman?"
Thinking of the scene when Jiang Xue teased Xiao Zhan before, he couldn't help but sigh that it was true that the subordinates would learn bad things from their masters.
If he could turn back time, he would never laugh at himself again.
"It's none of your business what kind of person I am."
After saying that, Fu Dong suddenly felt weak all over and realized that Jiang Xiaoan might have drugged her.
After using up the last bit of his strength to press two of his acupoints, he collapsed to the ground.
Jiang Xiaoan became anxious. He originally just wanted to use the muscle softening powder to express his resistance and then detoxify Fu Dong. He didn't expect that Fu Dong could actually fight back even though he was poisoned. As a result, both of them were unable to move.
"Now we can only stare at each other."
Fu Dong said, "Jiang Xiaoan, I will definitely teach you a lesson when I recover."
"I just used a homemade muscle softener, not a harmful poison. I did this to let you know that I am not completely unable to deal with you, I just always gave in to you.
I hope you will treat me better this way. I didn’t expect you to be so strong that you could fight back after being hit by my muscle softening powder.”
Fu Dong didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Have I been mean to you recently? Have I ever pulled your ears or lifted your blanket for no reason?"
It seems that none of them are true. Jiang Xiaoan thought about it and realized that Fu Dong was actually quite friendly recently. He was just overthinking it.
He cleared his throat and changed the subject: "So what should we do now?"
Fu Dong did not answer directly, but asked: "How long will the effect of your muscle softening powder last?"
"About five hours."
Jiang Xiaoan replied: "Commander Fudong, how long can the effect of your acupoint last?"
"No one can help you, so you can only stay still."
"Then let's shout for help. Let someone come and help you unblock your acupoints first, and then I'll remove your poison."
"no."
Fu Dong said firmly: "We will stay here. When my poison is cured, I will naturally help you to unlock the acupoints."
"Why?"
Jiang Xiaoan was puzzled: "But then we have to spend five hours here, unable to move or eat or drink. How uncomfortable that would be."
Fu Dong glanced at him with contempt: "I am the princess' most trusted guard. If others knew that you made me unable to move, how would I survive in the future? Jiang Xiaoan, do you think I don't care about my face?"
"It's not worth it to suffer here for five hours just to save face."
"Then ask someone to come and try."
Fu Dong raised his voice: "If what happened today gets out, I will come to your window every night to make trouble, pull your ears, and lift your quilt. You can do whatever you want."
The more Jiang Xiaoan thought about it, the more scared he became. If this were true, would he still have a chance to survive?
"Okay, I'll listen to you. I won't call anyone over."
Night gradually falls. There is no moon or stars tonight. The room is so dark that you can't see your hand in front of you. The only sound is each other's breathing.
Jiang Xiaoan broke the silence: "Commander Fudong, let's chat, otherwise it will be really boring."
"What are you talking about?"
Jiang Xiaoan was a little surprised. He thought she would refuse, but he didn't expect her to agree.
"Just chat about anything, like interesting childhood events or future plans, as long as it helps pass the time."
"My future is simple. I will always protect Her Royal Highness the Princess."
Fu Dong said: "As for my childhood, I don't want to talk about it."
There was a barely perceptible sadness in her voice, and Jiang Xiaoan wondered what she had experienced in her childhood.
"Jiang Xiaoan."
"Um?"
"Let's ask someone to come in."
Fu Dong whispered, "I don't think it's a good idea to wait in the dark for five hours."
Seeing her sudden change of attitude, Jiang Xiaoan realized that what he said might have touched upon her sad past, so he stopped asking questions and instead shouted for help.
Not long after, several guards came rushing over after hearing the noise. When they turned on the lights and saw the scene before them, they were all shocked.
Although they were full of doubts, they still followed the instructions, untied Jiang Xiaoan's fists, and then left.
Afterwards, Jiang Xiaoan detoxified Fu Dong. She stretched her body, stood up from the ground, said coldly, "Let's go," and then left.
