As they kissed, they unknowingly ended up on the bed. Ning Qing pressed down on Wu Chenxi, and the two were locked in a passionate kiss.
A rhythmic knocking sound came from the window, three light knocks followed by one heavy one, which startled the two people on the bed who were lost in their own world.
Ning Qing frowned slightly, reached out and grabbed an object from the bed, then threw it out the window.
The sound of a jade pillow breaking through the window, accompanied by a muffled groan, echoed from the other side of the window.
At that moment, Wu Chenxi pushed away the person on top of her and quickly rolled off the bed.
She quickly straightened her clothes, which had been torn and disheveled, and calmed her agitated mood and physical discomfort before heading towards the window.
Ning Qing was a little annoyed that her good deed had been interrupted for no reason.
Ning Qing: I'll cripple that person outside the window. I wonder if my wife will be angry.
System: Host, what part of him do you want to disable?
Ning Qingchao rolled his eyes: What do you think?
System: How about... we cripple him completely, cripple his martial arts and his reproductive organs?
Ning Qing: System, you're so ruthless!
System... I'll say it again, I shouldn't have said anything more.
Wu Chenxi walked to the window and looked outside. She saw a masked man in a black robe standing outside the window.
Upon seeing Wu Chenxi, the man immediately bowed his head and knelt on one knee, saying, "This subordinate greets Master."
Wu Chenxi asked with a cold expression, "What is it?"
What I was really thinking was: I hope it's something important, otherwise I'll have to send this clueless person back to the drawing board.
Unaware that the two people inside the house had their eyes on him, the man in black robes suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. He tugged at his black robes and looked up at the sun high in the sky.
"I have important matters to report."
With a cold smile, Wu Chenxi uttered a single word from her peach-blossom red lips: "Speak."
The man in black robes stood up, walked to a distance of two meters from Wu Chenxi, and whispered, "Master, something has happened in the palace."
Upon hearing this, Wu Chenxi's expression changed slightly. "Explain yourself."
The man in black robes bowed his head again and replied, "The one on the dragon throne has not come out since entering his bedchamber last night, and he also secretly summoned Physician Liu."
After pondering for a moment, Wu Chenxi instructed, "Find out the truth."
The man in black robes bowed his head and replied, "Yes."
Then it quickly disappeared from the spot.
Wu Chenxi returned to the bedside with a solemn expression. After hesitating for a moment, she finally spoke, "Qingqing, I can't stay with you for the time being. I have to go back and take care of some things."
Ning Qing had excellent hearing. Even though they were speaking very softly and she wasn't paying attention, the damned conversation still reached her ears.
Seeing Ning Qing's indifferent expression and silence.
Wu Chenxi sat down next to Ning Qing, took her hand and held it tightly in her palm, coaxing, "I'll come back to be with you after I've finished dealing with things, okay?"
Ning Qing gazed at Wu Chenxi's delicate, fair face and said, "Go, I'll wait for you to come back."
Wu Chenxi nodded, stood up and took a step, but unexpectedly her hand was grabbed by the person behind her, and then a cold object was stuffed into her hand.
Wu Chenxi looked down and saw that it was a token with the character "令" (command) engraved on the front and a lion engraved on the back.
Wu Chenxi turned around in confusion, only to see the person lounging lazily on the bed glance at her and say indifferently, "This is a gift from my father to his daughter-in-law. You can keep it."
Wu Chenxi looked at the token in her hand, her feelings complicated.
This is clearly a token for mobilizing troops. Who would give their daughter-in-law this as a gift? This must be a life-saving charm left by the Prince of Jin'an for his son.
Just as Wu Chenxi was about to return it, Ning Qing spoke up again, "If you return it, it means you don't want to be my wife and you don't acknowledge your status as the eldest daughter-in-law of the Ning family."
He paused, then added, "I have only one request: you must return safely."
Wu Chenxi smiled helplessly. She did need the token, and it would indeed be of great help to her, so she accepted it without being pretentious.
A kiss landed on the cheek of the person lying on the bed.
He solemnly assured Ning Qing, "I will definitely return safely, wait for me."
