Xiao Tang looked at the old man's back and felt a little angry.
She looked at the jade thumb ring in her hand, and then, recalling the situation with the assassin, she frowned.
I always felt that this jade thumb ring was a trap, a hot potato.
You'll just throw it away later?
no.
Even if you throw it away, you won't be able to go up Shensuan Mountain to get medicine.
"Is the Princess here to welcome me back to the manor?" The man's deep, pleasant voice interrupted Xiao Tang's thoughts.
She slightly raised her eyelids, her gaze lingering on Di Jingling's stunningly handsome face.
As always, his expression remained unchanged.
She was 100% certain that this guy must have seen that old man from before.
Now, however, he pretends not to know anything.
Xiao Tang calmly put the jade ring into her bosom, then smiled slightly, "My husband is right, I was standing at the gate of the palace to welcome you back."
"I feel so uneasy and restless when I can't see Your Highness. I can't eat or drink. It's so painful."
She exaggeratedly clutched her chest.
The portrayal of the "terminally ill" expression was so accurate and lifelike.
Although I don't miss you, I still really want to hear what you have to say about Shensuan Mountain.
[I've never seen acting this strenuous before.]
The worst part was that the man stood in front of her with a blank expression.
Silently watching her "emotional" performance.
After her hard-earned performance, she looked at him expectantly, waiting for his reaction.
To her surprise, the man simply raised an eyebrow and looked at her with a leisurely air.
Are you really just watching a show here?
She moved the corners of her mouth slightly.
The man stepped forward, grasped her wrist, and led her into the palace.
"Hmm, it seems the Princess really misses me."
[What a load of rubbish!]
[It was just a casual remark, but you actually took it to heart.]
Xiao Tang blinked. "Husband, I just found a book called 'The Complete Guide to Cursing Gu' at the Lu residence, but alas, someone took it back."
"So?" The man calmly followed her words.
She smiled and said, "It's nothing. I've written down the prescription for you, but there are a few herbs that I really can't find. Perhaps you could send someone to look for them, my husband?"
Now she only has a few ways to obtain precious medicinal herbs.
Either go to Shensuan Mountain to get it.
Alternatively, you can redeem it using points from the system.
Or perhaps... Di Jingling has a way to get his hands on it.
These antidotes are all formidable opponents.
If it's something that can be easily found, then it's definitely not some kind of miracle cure.
Perhaps because the topic of curing the curse came up, the man became more serious. "Hmm, write it down, and I will send someone to find it."
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will go and find paper and pen right away." Xiao Tang smiled.
Sweet and lovely, with a smile as beautiful as a flower.
[Yay! The revolution is almost complete!]
[I can finally get out of here. Once the poison is cured and the villain issues the divorce papers, I'll make a run for it.]
Di Jingling, who had been feeling somewhat gratified, suddenly froze.
Seeing Xiao Tang skipping and jumping to the study to get paper and pen, he was instantly enveloped in a fierce aura.
This woman!
Is he still thinking about being divorced?
He was very angry, and the consequences were serious!
Xiao Tang took out paper and pen in Di Jingling's study and quickly wrote down a prescription. After blowing on the ink to dry, she presented it to Di Jingling.
"My husband, the prescription is here."
She smiled sweetly at the man, her joy evident.
Little did she know, that smile inexplicably stung the man's eyes.
The man stretched out his long arm and pulled her sharply in front of him.
Xiao Tang held the prescription high to avoid tearing it, and asked with feigned embarrassment, "Husband, what's wrong? I haven't even looked at the prescription yet!"
"Since the princess has gone to such lengths to cure me of the poison, I should reward her."
A reward?
[Big Brother, what you're saying sounds rather sinister. Are you sure it's a reward, or to get me handcuffed?]
"My lord, this is what I should do. Why are you being so polite with me?"
"After all, you are my most beloved husband..."
Her lips were pinched by his fingertips.
Ouch, that hurts a little.
Her pupils contracted slightly.
"Husband?" she called out tentatively.
The cool fingertips caressed the corner of her lips, while the man's sinister eyes locked onto her current appearance, as if trying to see right through her.
"Hmm, I've suddenly figured it out."
【？？？】
What have you figured out? Come on, let's just say what we're saying. Don't make me guess.
"With a wife like this, what more could a husband ask for? With such a virtuous and gentle queen as you, I have no other desires. Even if the poison is not cured, it doesn't matter."
"No..." Xiao Tang opened her mouth, wanting to say a few words to him, urging him not to do anything rash.
Then the man spoke again: "Of course, it means that the princess will have to suffer. If I die young in the future, you will have to be a widow."
Xiao Tang: "..."
[Guard my ass! Guard your bubble teapot!]
Is this telling me? I'm not getting away? I'll die by this villain's side?
No, no, no, no, you big villain, be serious! Our beautiful country and countless beauties are waiting for you, please stop!
Her eyes darted around, and she immediately threw herself into the man's arms, squeezing out two tears.
"My husband, you absolutely mustn't!"
"If my husband really... suffers any mishap, I will not live either, sob sob sob."
She cried her heart out, her face streaked with tears, as if she truly couldn't live without him.
