Chapter 384 Husband, I'll show you a magic trick.
The night grew increasingly desolate and cold, but the wind and snow did not stop.
The wind and snow howled and pounded against the carriage, filling one with fear.
Even so, the whole team seemed unusually tense and strange.
Xiao Tang was already fast asleep.
After all, she felt incredibly safe and secure in Di Jingling's arms, so she never even considered waking up.
In the midst of the silence, the howling of wolves suddenly rang out outside the carriage.
This howl shocked their entire team.
This was followed by a woman's gasp.
It is Xiao Hanxue.
"Help! Help!"
The call was partially drowned out by the wind and snow.
Xiao Tang sat up.
woke up.
Di Jingling looked down at her and asked, "Why did you wake up?"
"With any noise, how could I not wake up?" Xiao Tang pouted, lifted the carriage curtain to take a peek, and exclaimed, "Wow!"
Outside, it was pitch black.
The wind and snow hit my face the moment I rolled down the car window.
Fortunately, there was a charcoal fire in the carriage for heating; otherwise, she wouldn't have known how bone-chillingly cold it was outside.
A large hand reached out and covered her car window.
He pursed his lips and reminded her unhappily, "Don't do something so foolish. Do you know how cold it is outside?"
Xiao Tang snapped out of her daze and softly uttered an "oh".
She pouted and whispered, "Why are you being so fierce? You're scaring me."
Suddenly, a startled cry came from outside the carriage window from Physician Xiao.
"Your Highness, Hanxue has been carried off by wolves! Quickly send someone to rescue her!"
Xiao Tang and Di Jingling exchanged a glance.
She gave a half-smile.
Di Jingling, however, showed disdain.
Not to mention him, even Xiao Tang wanted to despise him.
Such a flimsy reason is probably just nonsense to her.
Xiao Tang found it amusing. She rolled down the car window again. "Doctor Xiao, do you think that by now, if we send someone to rescue her, Xiao Hanxue will have been eaten alive by wolves, leaving only bones?"
"You...that's your sister! How could you curse her like that?"
Xiao Tang tilted her head. "That's not my sister. I don't have a sister. I'm just the Regent's wife."
Her lips curved into a smile, her eyes sparkling with laughter.
He remained calm and composed throughout.
This left Physician Xiao momentarily unable to grasp the woman's thoughts.
However, Physician Xiao looked at Emperor Jingling.
His tone was somewhat pleading: "My lord, you are highly skilled in martial arts, please go and save Hanxue. She is a weak woman... We can't do this!"
"Can't I do anything?" Di Jingling retorted coldly.
These words caused cold sweat to break out on Physician Xiao's forehead.
yes.
What can't be done?
"If my brother finds out, he will definitely blame me. That is the Princess's own father, the Duke, and the guards. I beg you!"
Xiao Tang saw through the shrewd glint in Xiao Sanshu's eyes at a glance.
She turned her head and looked at Di Jingling.
Is this a plan to leave me alone so they can make their move on me?
[Tsk, I didn't realize your expression betrayed your thoughts, how pathetic.]
"In that case, if it were me, I'd kill you, ha!"
Xiao Tang nodded.
He used an expression to remind Di Jingling: Hurry up and cooperate with the performance.
This performance at least needs to be satisfactory enough.
Di Jingling countered with a question: "Are you sure?"
[What are you trying to confirm? I'm telling you to get out of here, stay away, let this guy reveal his true colors, then I can finish him off with one stab!]
We'll handle everything then, right?
But this is what I truly feel.
She couldn't get the message to her, which made her extremely anxious!
I really wish the villain could hear my true feelings right now...
Di Jingling's pupils contracted slightly. He gave her a deep look, then calmly nodded: "Okay."
Xiao Tang: ?
What the hell?
Just as she was filled with doubt, the man had already gotten off the carriage and left.
They...left?
Watching the man's retreating figure, Xiao Tang touched her forehead.
What's going on?
It's as if the main villain can hear her inner prayers.
Just as she was still hesitating, Physician Xiao, seeing that the person had already left, smiled happily and said to her smugly, "Xiao Tang, now you have no one to protect you!"
Xiao Tang glanced at him sideways.
"Don't you know that your face is so grotesque right now? It's really an eyesore."
Whoosh!
Physician Xiao had no time to waste with her and quickly pulled out a dagger from his robes.
"Xiao Tang, prepare to die!"
The blade was still oozing venom.
Xiao Tang just wanted to roll her eyes, secretly cursing this old man as an idiot.
On the surface, she had to put on an act, looking very aggrieved and frightened, and exclaimed in a low voice, "Oh dear, oh dear, how scary! Physician Xiao, what are you doing with that dagger?"
"I'll kill you!" Physician Xiao's mindset had changed.
Surprisingly, when he wanted to kill someone, he became much more eager, and his previous timidity disappeared.
He is usually timid and hesitant in his actions.
But when facing Xiao Tang, he would never do that!
He didn't care at all about being timid or hesitant.
"Oh my gosh, that's scary!" Xiao Tang yelled.
Uncle Xiao thought she was genuinely scared, then grinned maliciously, "Go ahead and scream. Even if you scream your lungs out, no one will come to protect you now. Yan Shi and Ru Yi are both drugged and sound asleep!"
Xiao Tang rolled her eyes.
Hey, don't you know that villains die from talking too much?
"Aren't you tired of holding that dagger up for so long? Even talking to you is tiring, if not for you!"
