Chapter 128: Prince Xiao's Lust
Xiao Jiwu obviously didn't really not understand what Yun Qingshi meant.
Hearing this, he paused for a moment before giving his answer: "I haven't thought about it."
Besides, it goes without saying that Xiao Lingan would not pass the throne to him.
unless......
Yun Qingshi was anxious after hearing this and couldn't help but ask anxiously, "What have you been thinking about all these years?"
After hearing this, Xiao Jiwu replied, "Self-protection."
Yun Qingshi: ...
Yun Qingshi fell silent when he heard this.
He even had difficulty breathing, and his chest felt like there was something blocking it, making him feel very stuffy.
Yes, self-preservation. In the past, Xiao Jiwu had probably exhausted all his energy just to protect himself, so how could he have cared about anything else?
Besides, it is not that easy to seize the throne. After all, he thought it was too simple.
Seeing Yun Qingshi suddenly fall silent, with a hint of sadness in his eyes, Prince Xiao rubbed the top of the boy's head again to comfort him: "Okay, don't worry about this anymore."
Hearing this, Yun Qingshi looked up at Xiao Jiwu's eyes without expressing his opinion.
Because he didn't know what to do.
Or maybe he shouldn't have expressed too much opinion on such matters.
Xiao Jiwu, he must have his own plans.
As his thoughts reached this point, Yun Qingshi gradually calmed down.
He then turned his head back, lay down and closed his eyes to rest, waiting for Zhao Mingde and the others to pack up and set off.
When thinking about packing up, Yun Qingshi also thought of the notebook that he had not had time to put away.
Therefore, he immediately sat up hurriedly, went to the desk, and then found the two storybooks hidden in a pile of serious books of Prince Xiao.
It is actually one book, divided into two volumes.
After finding the storybook, Yun Qingshi planned to put it back into his sleeve.
He didn't have any luggage, so it was more convenient to carry it this way.
When Xiao Jiwu saw Yun Qingshi suddenly stand up, he also walked to the desk. Seeing the young man hiding the books, he couldn't help but laugh, and quickly reached out to stop Yun Qingshi's actions.
Yun Qingshi was stunned when his actions were stopped, and subconsciously looked up at Xiao Jiwu, asking silently.
What's wrong?
Prince Xiao replied, "If you want to take it with you on the road, just ask Zhao Mingde to put it in the carriage. There's no need to hide it in your sleeve."
Oh, that's fine.
After hearing this, Yun Qingshi decisively stopped and put the storybook back on the desk, then sat back down on the couch.
But when he thought about having to travel by carriage all night, he felt a little worried again.
Because he was actually very sleepy at this moment, and it was almost nine o'clock.
In modern times, this is the time when he is most energetic, but the work and rest schedules of the ancients are different from those of modern people. After traveling through the book for a long time, he has also gotten used to going to bed early.
In addition, he had been getting up very early every day to go hunting these days, so he felt sleepy early at night.
I can’t imagine how long it will take to reach the Huguo Temple.
You can't sleep in the carriage at all. The best you can doze off, which will cause back pain.
Thinking of this, Yun Qingshi finally couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty, how long will it take us to reach the Huguo Temple?"
Prince Xiao made a rough estimate after hearing this and responded: "If we set out now, we should be able to arrive before dark tomorrow."
Yun Qingshi:???
He thought it would take a long time, but at most he thought it would arrive tomorrow morning.
As a result, Xiao Jiwu told him that it would be tomorrow night?
That is to say, he had to ride in a carriage for a whole night and a whole day.
So he wouldn't be able to lie down and sleep for the next 24 hours?
Oh my God, Yun Qingshi is really about to collapse.
————
Sadly, the collapse was of no avail.
Zhao Mingde quickly took his men to pack up the carriage, and now he took Changshun into the tent to start packing up the things they had brought out.
Yun Qingshi couldn't even sit on the bed, so he had to lie on the table and wait.
Less than two quarters of an hour later, Zhao Mingde finally finished packing everything and reported to his prince, "Prince, everything is packed and we can set off."
Prince Xiao nodded in agreement, then turned to look at Yun Qingshi who was sleeping soundly on the table.
Yes, Yun Qingshi was so sleepy that he fell asleep directly on his stomach.
Xiao Jiwu couldn't bear to wake the boy up, he would rather carry him out directly.
But now that they were under the Emperor's watchful eyes, it was obviously better to be cautious. Therefore, Xiao Jiwu could only gently touch the boy's shoulder to try to wake him up:
"Eleven, wake up, it's time for us to leave."
As for Yun Qingshi, he was disturbed from his sound sleep. He instinctively frowned in his daze, and then refused without even opening his eyelids: "No... Let me sleep for a while, just a little while, I'm so sleepy..."
Xiao Jiwu: ...
Prince Xiao, blinded by lust, decisively turned to Zhao Mingde and ordered, "Wait a moment."
Zhao Mingde: ...
Zhao Mingde had no choice but to agree: "Yes."
A moment later, Prince Xiao gently nudged Yun Qingshi again and called out softly, "Eleven, it's really time to set off. Go back to the carriage and sleep."
Yun Qingshi, who was annoyed by the poking, turned around and continued to sleep.
Obviously, promises made after falling asleep are not valid.
Xiao Jiwu: ...
Xiao Jiwu pursed his lips.
The next moment, he reached out and picked up Yun Qingshi from the stool, and helped the young man stand on the ground.
Yun Qingshi was still in a dream one second, but found himself standing on the ground the next second and finally woke up.
At this moment, he looked at Xiao Jiwu with his eyes wide open in confusion, obviously still not fully awake.
Xiao Jiwu took back one hand and used only one hand to support Yun Qingshi and asked, "Are you awake? If you are, let's go."
Yun Qingshi yawned blankly before asking, "Leaving? Where to?"
Prince Xiao patiently replied, "Huguo Temple."
"Huguo Temple..." Yun Qingshi repeated it subconsciously, and then he gradually remembered it.
Thinking of everything, Yun Qingshi couldn't help but shake his head tiredly, and then said: "Let's go."
Xiao Jiwu was still a little worried, and could not help but frown and remind him: "Hold steady, I will let go."
Yun Qingshi nodded lazily in response.
Xiao Jiwu then let go of Yun Qingshi and looked at the young man again. Seeing that he was standing there obediently, he took the lead and walked out.
Yun Qingshi yawned and had to follow.
After a while, when the two of them got on the carriage and sat down, the team officially set off.
But Yun Qingshi was no longer sleepy at this moment.
It's not for any other reason, it's just because I'm cold.
It was the middle of the night, the coldest time of the day, but the carriage seemed to be drafty. Who could sleep in such cold weather?
Yun Qingshi subconsciously crossed his arms and frowned with worry.
He reasonably suspected that he would catch a cold after arriving at Huguo Temple.
Prince Xiao obviously noticed the boy's little action and quickly signaled the team to pause. He then ordered Zhao Mingde who had rushed over, "Zhao Mingde, bring a thick blanket."
