Qing Wu didn't expect to face such a question, so she didn't answer but asked: "What about you, have you ever liked anyone?"
Xiao Chenyan stared at him intently, and the words were on his lips, but he felt it was difficult: "No."
"Then I haven't either."
She spoke in a casual manner and looked heartless, making it difficult to tell whether she was true or false.
Xiao Chenyan's emotions were unclear. As they stared at each other, Situ Jing came over quickly, "Your Majesty!"
Looking at the two people hugging each other, his expression paused. If it weren't for the urgency of the matter, he really wanted to turn around and leave, not to be the stick that broke up the couple.
Xiao Chenyan naturally let go of Qing Wu, and the two of them took a step back tacitly.
"What's the matter?" Xiao Chenyan looked calm.
Qing Wu frowned after looking at Situ Jing.
Situ Jing quickly handed over the letter, his expression solemn: "Urgent news from Nanling, locust plague is raging."
Xiao Chenyan's eyes darkened, and he unfolded the letter and read it carefully. Before he finished reading, Baisui came running over: "The prince has an urgent summons from the palace."
Xiao Chenyan left quickly without saying a word.
The atmosphere in the mansion suddenly became solemn. Qing Wu stood under the eaves, looking at the southern sky with her beautiful eyes slightly narrowed.
Lu Qiao sighed: "Another commoner is going to suffer."
Hong Rui looked worried: "In Nanling, it's Master Qi's side."
"Go and pack your travel belongings." After Qing Wu said this, the two women were stunned and then their faces froze.
"Princess, did you say that the prince is going on a long journey?"
Qing Wu nodded and said, "Prepare more medicinal herbs. After they are ready, send them to Henglu Mountain and give them to Mei Mei. Ask him to ask the mountain spirit to check them."
"Go and prepare some talisman paper for me."
The two girls didn't dare to delay and went to buy it.
Ye You was also called over. After hearing about the locust plague in Nanling, he frowned and said, "It's not surprising that locusts are raging on earth. Even if Xiao Chenyan is to be sent to deal with the locusts, you are making a fuss."
"Nanling is the fief of his seventh uncle. He sent someone to Nanling to deliver a message not long ago."
Qing Wu's eyes were full of sneer. "The last time I went to the palace, I found something strange about the death of his seventh aunt's wife. Just as the news was passed on, something happened in Nanling. How could such a thing happen?"
Not to mention, she had just helped Xiao Chenyan break the Yang Dragon Suppressing Yin Phoenix formation in the palace.
Ye You also smelled something wrong and frowned: "The locust plague in the human world is managed by the Demonic Underworld Department, and it is also the work of the Hornet. The last locust was a member of the locust clan."
After he finished speaking, he met Qing Wu's eyes and curled his lips: "You want me to go down and check? Isn't Lao Liu downstairs?"
"Each of the ten palaces in the underworld has its own duties. It may not be convenient for a high-ranking official to investigate. Anyway, you are a scoundrel, so it is more convenient for you to handle things than him."
Ye You rolled his eyes, turned his head and said, "It's yours."
Qing Wu went back to the room, took out some talisman paper, drew a few talismans, handed them to Mu Ying, then wrote a letter and handed it to Huo Hongying.
If Xiao Chenyan wanted to go to Nanling, she would have to go there as well. Mu Ying would be left alone in the palace, and if something happened, she would have to look after the Huo family.
Fortunately, Wang Yulang has now become Huo Yi's apprentice, and the Huo family's provision of care for him is justified.
Xiao Chenyan returned from the palace after midnight. Qing Wu got up when she heard the noise, pushed the door open, and saw him standing at the gate of the courtyard, not coming in yet. The cloak he was wearing was still damp.
"I came to see you." Seeing her standing barefoot under the eaves, Xiao Chenyan couldn't help but frowned, took off his cloak and put it on her: "I'm leaving for Nanling early tomorrow morning, you..."
"I know." Qing Wu lazily pulled his hand and walked into the house.
Xiao Chenyan was pulled by her and followed her in unconsciously. He heard her say, "I have given instructions for the preparations. You should have a good rest this night."
Xiao Chenyan's eyes moved: "You want to go together?"
"What else?" Qing Wu looked at him strangely. What a stupid question.
The hostility he had generated from dealing with those termites in the palace was instantly swept away.
Xiao Chenyan nodded and was pushed by Qingwu to wash up. After he finished washing up, Hongrui reported to him everything Qingwu had told him to do after he left. Xiao Chenyan felt relieved and suddenly thought of three words: a good wife.
His princess is more than just a helper.
When he returned to the room, Qing Wu had already laid back on the couch with her back to him. Xiao Chenyan didn't see the mat on the floor, so he naturally got on the bed and rested beside her.
There seemed to be a huge barrier between the two of them, and when he tilted his head he could only see the back of her head.
"Thank you," he said softly.
The woman's breathing was even, as if she had fallen asleep. After a while, she hummed lazily, "More money."
Xiao Chenyan smiled silently.
"add."
Xiao Chenyan thought he would have a hard time sleeping that night. He just stared at the back of her head and didn't even know when she fell asleep.
He woke up before dawn the next day. He felt heavy in his arms. When he looked down, he saw a furry head.
Qing Wuji had half of her body pressed on him, with her legs straddling him.
Xiao Chenyan's heart moved slightly, and he put her down gently. Hongrui and Luqiao heard the noise and pushed the door open. Xiao Chenyan had already changed his clothes. Seeing the two women were about to serve Qingwu, he shook his head.
He then wrapped Qing Wu in a quilt and carried her out.
The two girls smiled at each other, then quickly packed up their things and followed.
The things needed for the trip to Nanling had already been packed, and Xiao Chenyan immediately carried Qing Wu into the carriage.
Everyone in the palace was used to it. The relationship between the prince and the princess became better and better, and they were happy for them.
Mu Ying and Wang Yulang also got up early to see them off. Mu Ying made some cakes that were Qing Wu's favorite and gave them to Hong Rui.
Xiao Chenyan nodded at her.
Mu Ying: "Please take good care of the princess. If she has a poor appetite, I have prepared some hawthorn pills for her to eat."
"Mrs. Mu is thoughtful."
Hong Rui couldn't help but laugh and said, "Madam Mu is like the princess's family. I was just worried that the princess would be picky. I'm afraid I'll suffer on this long journey. Madam Mu, do you have a solution?"
Mu Ying smiled, glanced at the direction of the carriage, and said softly, "That's how it should be."
Xiao Chenyan's eyes moved slightly, but he took these words to heart.
Maid’s family?
Should it be so?
