Chapter 392 Oh my god, you're so sweet, how can I blame you? (Bonus Chapter)
Xiao Tang felt a cool breeze brush against the back of her neck.
At the same time, there was a system beeping sound.
Just as the man's arm was about to touch the back of Xiao Tang's neck—
Xiao Tang cursed inwardly: [Damn system, where's the electric shock?!]
[Alright, the electric shock will be delivered shortly, host, don't rush!]
As a result, the man's arm was accidentally struck by electricity, and the crackling current instantly spread throughout his body.
The hairs on the man's arms stood on end, and as he trembled, the poison packet in his hand fell to the ground.
Xiao Tang lowered her eyes to look at the packet of poison and snorted coldly.
Di Jingling strode over, quickly pulled her into his arms, and knocked the thug unconscious with a single blow.
The person collapsed.
Just as Xiao Tang was about to tear off the black cloth covering the assassin's face, Di Jingling held her even tighter in his arms.
She struggled slightly. "Brother Hao Xian, I'm fine. I'm not hurt. Let me see who he is."
Di Jingling's deep expression remained completely unchanged.
However, I still let go of her.
I feel somewhat helpless.
Xiao Tang tore off the black cloth, somewhat speechless.
"It's Xiao Hanxue."
She hadn't expected it.
Xiao Hanxue traveled for so many days to get here. Everything has been resolved. By now, the body of Physician Xiao must have been completely devoured by wild beasts on the snow.
She was a little disappointed.
They thought they could catch that so-called mystic who digs up ashes.
Even if they aren't mystics masters, they must have been sent by one.
Otherwise, what other purpose could there be in exhuming ashes? You can't just take them back as a keepsake, can you?
Xiao Tang was very disappointed.
At this moment, Di Jingling had already sent people over to drag Xiao Hanxue away.
Yan Shi asked, "Your Highness, what should be done with this Miss Xiao?"
He dared not act rashly.
They are, after all, members of the Xiao family.
Xiao Tang clapped her hands. "Tie them up. I haven't figured out what they'll be used for."
Hmm, I suddenly realize that being a villainous supporting character is actually quite enjoyable.
Yan Shi ordered his men to tie Xiao Hanxue up and drag her away.
Xiao Tang smiled and pulled Di Jingling into the tent.
"husband……"
The word had barely left his lips when Di Jingling glared at him.
She quickly slammed on the brakes and changed her tone: "Brother Hao Xian, post-disaster reconstruction is necessary, right? After we leave, we also need to settle these disaster victims..."
"Tangtang." Di Jingling called out to her, "General Qi will make arrangements. We will return to the capital in a couple of days."
Xiao Tang did not ask any further questions.
I think the man should have planned this out long ago, right?
The next morning, she learned about the "arrangements" the man had mentioned.
She didn't see Di Jingling at breakfast either.
Ruyi noticed her looking around and said to her furtively and cautiously, "Your Highness, I just received some news..."
"What news?"
"The news of the Regent's death." Ruyi looked around excitedly and nervously before whispering to Xiao Tang.
These words startled Xiao Tang so much that she almost smashed the bowl in her hand.
Until she caught a glimpse of that familiar man in black robes approaching.
She paused for a moment.
He turned to look at Ruyi.
Ruyi cleared her throat and explained in a low voice, "It was...it was them who spread it."
To spread the news of one's own death?
The main villain is really quite clever.
But is it really okay to curse yourself like this?
The man had already come to her side and said, "Xiao Hanxue wants to see you."
Xiao Tang: "Hmm."
She quickly finished eating the rice in her hands.
Food is scarce here; we only have white rice to eat, and there isn't even kimchi.
Xiao Tang wasn't picky; as long as she had food to eat, she was already grateful.
She got up to look at Xiao Hanxiao.
Inside the curtained room, Xiao Hanxue was locked in the same cage that had previously held patients afflicted by Gu poison.
Upon seeing her, Xiao Hanxue lunged at the iron cage, gritting her teeth fiercely, "You're the one who killed the Regent, aren't you?"
Xiao Tang: ?
Seeing her confused look, Xiao Hanxue shouted angrily, "It must be you! You're the one who caused this! Otherwise, how could such a wise and powerful regent have suddenly died?"
She was agitated simply because she had heard the news of the regent's "death".
I thought she was angry because she was being imprisoned.
[Oh ho, looks like you really do love the big villain, huh?]
I'm not even excited, but you're more excited than me.
"That's ridiculous. I thought you were the one who 'killed' him. Oh right, you don't have that ability. Xiao Hanxue, you should worry about yourself instead of worrying about others."
"Xiao Tang!" Xiao Hanxue gritted her teeth, "Sister, let me out. I can do anything for you and I will never cause you any trouble."
Xiao Tang could tell that this woman hated her to the core, but on the surface she still had to compromise.
Tsk tsk tsk.
They really look so pitiful.
"Oh? Then tell me what you can do to help me? I'm looking at you, and you don't seem like you can do much!"
Xiao Hanxue, who was gripping the iron cage, wanted to argue, but suddenly she realized that she couldn't do anything about it.
Don't let the fact that she's the daughter of a concubine fool you.
But Duke Xiao always treated the mother and daughter very well. Apart from having a title, they never lacked food, clothing and other necessities.
At home, she's still a pampered young lady who can boss people around.
It wasn't until she returned to the Xiao residence that she became humble.
He was especially furious at the sight of Xiao Tang.
Xiao Tang was also a country bumpkin back then, almost on par with her, the daughter of a concubine.
It's just that they climbed up the social ladder by getting close to the regent.
