Chapter 337 Alright, my husband, I will never hinder you.
Du Juan had probably been cooped up in the Xinu Market for too long, and now that someone was suddenly talking to her, she blurted it all out like beans spilling from a well.
"Oh, that's right. It seems they've found out why the Sixth Miss disappeared. It might be General Xiao's responsibility, so they started making a fuss."
"General Xiao, you haven't met him. He's rigid and boring, always with a long face, as if everyone else is worth millions of taels of silver to him."
"I would rather marry Xiao Yiran than General Xiao Yichen."
It turns out that General Xiao's real name is Xiao Yichen.
Ruyi pouted, "Why do I get the feeling that you like him?"
"Nonsense!" Du Juan denied without even thinking.
However, perhaps because she denied it too quickly, people couldn't help but take a second look at her.
Ruyi touched her chin, with an expression that said, "I've seen through you all along."
Faced with Ruyi's gaze, Dujuan felt a little embarrassed and clenched her fist. "It's true that I don't like him, but at least he's a gentleman."
Xiao Tang stood up. "Since he is the Grand General, he must be going back to Dongyuan Kingdom. You don't need to stay here. Just go to Dongyuan Kingdom and block his way."
Although she agreed, her most important task was to find medicine for the main villain.
Other things will inevitably distract me.
Especially regarding Xiao Yichen's matter, no matter how I look at it, since he is a general, why not just go back and confront him?
This woman almost threw herself into the slave market and nearly died. What was she thinking?
Du Juan sighed, "You don't know, His Majesty seems to have assigned him some kind of task. If I just go back and wait for him like this, I'm afraid it will take at least a year and a half before I see him."
Xiao Tang was speechless and choked with emotion.
"Are you saying he's a spy in the Western Qin Kingdom?"
Good heavens!
The Eastern Yuan Kingdom and the Western Qin Kingdom are geographically close, and it is said that the two countries have always been at odds.
Moreover, the Emperor of Western Qin was a debauched and dissolute man...
I don't know much about the Dongyuan Kingdom.
The only thing she knew was that she couldn't shake off this girl for the time being.
She nodded: "Alright, it's getting late, you should go back and rest."
"Ruyi, take Dujuan to rest."
The two women left.
Because of Du Juan's presence, Xiao Tang could only wear the Imperial Preceptor's face and could not rashly tear off the disguise mask.
Helpless, she could only silently go to bed to rest with that face.
At this moment...
I could hear people talking as the two women left.
Du Juan's voice sounded quite gossipy: "There's something I find quite strange, isn't it? The Imperial Advisor and the Regent... are they actually a couple?"
Hearing this, Ruyi's lips twitched slightly. "Don't talk nonsense. The Regent is naturally with the Princess. They are a couple."
Du Juan tapped her head, a look of annoyance on her face.
"Look at me, I almost forgot about this, hehehe, right, right, right."
Ruyi noticed that this girl was a bit simple-minded...
Xiao Tang was both speechless and amused by their words.
Sigh... I need to find a chance to go to the Xinu Market again.
As she drifted into thought, she gradually grew weary.
In a daze, it seemed that someone climbed up.
The familiar, crisp scent filled her nostrils, dispelling her drowsiness.
With her eyes closed, she groped around aimlessly for a while, and suddenly touched the man's face.
The familiar feel.
Di Jingling wanted to pull her into his arms, but when she touched his face, he paused.
He knew he might have woken her up, and dared not make any further moves.
Xiao Tang, on the contrary, let out a strange "Eh" and smacked her lips in amazement.
I don't know if she was really asleep or just pretending.
His gaze lingered on her slightly parted lips, his eyes flickered, and he covered them with his own.
At that moment, the warmth on my lips could be clearly felt.
Xiao Tang tried to turn over, but was ultimately trapped in his chest and unable to move.
Suddenly, something occurred to me.
Open your eyes.
"Why are you sleeping here?" she asked. "The cuckoo is still here."
If someone saw this, they would definitely misunderstand.
To her surprise, Di Jingling looked unconvinced and gently stroked the corner of her lips with his finger. "I promise, I'll leave before dawn."
Xiao Tang was about to speak when he interrupted her again.
"I can't sleep without holding you."
[Ugh...he's flirting with me again, it's absolutely deadly.]
Xiao Tang was completely captivated by his words.
But right now, she had no choice but to stare into his eyes for a long time without being able to speak.
In the end, she chose to close her eyes and go to sleep.
We're going to the Xinu Market tomorrow, let's sneak off early...
"I have things to do tomorrow." He heard her thoughts and gave her the opportunity to speak without hesitation.
Xiao Tang was actually a little surprised.
She never expected that this man would create an opportunity for her...
"Ah, alright, I will never hinder my husband."
"Hmph." He snorted coldly.
It was as if he had already seen through her.
For some reason, Xiao Tang could only give an awkward, sheepish smile.
They seem to be getting more and more in sync...
...
The Xinu Market the following day.
Xiao Tang appeared again, marking his third visit. Today, he brought Du Juan with him.
Du Juan whispered to her, "Young Master Hao, why do you keep coming to the Xinu Market? You haven't taken a fancy to someone, have you?"
After she became familiar with Xiao Tang, she gradually became more outspoken.
