Xiao Chenyan was really annoyed by Qing Wu's outspokenness.
Anger was boiling in his chest. Under his palm was the woman's smooth skin. The hot air from her breath was inhaling and exhaling in his palm.
The heat was like the man under his control, invading rudely and unreasonably.
The temperature flowed through his blood throughout his body, and all the evil spirit in his body was driven away by the warmth. His body was filled with uncontrollable desire, ready to move.
Xiao Chenyan's eyes were very dark and he was suppressing his emotions. Just as he was about to withdraw his hand, she grabbed it tightly and pulled him down. However, she did not let go and held it tightly.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'm concerned about you and my dignity as a man. How about letting Situ Jing take a look at your injuries?"
The veins on Xiao Chenyan's forehead jumped, and he held her hand. Under Qing Wu's puzzled gaze, he took a deep breath and spoke word by word: "No, no."
Qing Wu was suspicious and looked down.
Before she could even ask, "Are you serious?", she nodded with murderous intent, "Yes, it's just a minor injury, not worth mentioning."
There was no blood, and the wounds on his waist and abdomen were not as serious.
She underestimated him.
Xiao Chenyan: "..."
He had a splitting headache and turned around with his eyes closed. "Why did you come to see me?"
"I'm asking you to lend me someone." Qing Wu said without further ado: "I don't believe in Jingzhao Yin's ability to handle this matter. Wang Yulang is in a bad situation."
"If it's too late, the person won't be saved."
Xiao Chenyan narrowed his eyes and stared at her unfathomably: "You are really concerned about Madam Mu's love."
Qing Wu knew that he was suspicious, and with clear eyes, she asked directly without beating around the bush: "Will you help me?"
"No help."
Qing Wu choked and stared at him in surprise.
The man's voice was extremely cold: "Mu Ying is a married woman. You can bring her to the Prince's Palace and use the fact that she is an 'important witness' as an excuse."
"She has no ties to the palace, and her son is missing. It is the most she can do to help report to the authorities. If she mobilizes more people to help, it would be too much."
Qing Wu pushed her tongue inside his mouth, feeling the indifference in his eyes, as if she was meeting this man for the first time.
No relatives or friends?
yes.
Mu Ying was indeed an insignificant person to Xiao Chenyan.
She was misjudged and still thought that he was still the high-spirited and passionate eldest grandson of the emperor ten years ago.
She saw the Iris Courtyard and the lantern in the courtyard, and thought that Xiao Chenyan would at least remember their old friendship.
She overestimated herself.
Why do I think Xiao Chenyan would love her too? No, maybe in his previous life, the young princess Qingwu who died early in the Zhenguo Marquis Mansion was just an ordinary childhood friend in his heart.
Those sentiments and past events have long been lost in the years and are no longer recognizable.
Qing Wu's eyes were cold, but a smile appeared on her face. "King Yan is right. I want to be the queen."
After saying that, she turned and left.
When Xiao Chenyan saw the indifference in her expression, he felt as if there was an invisible chasm between the two of them at that moment.
Once she left, it seemed as if she would never look back again.
Xiao Chenyan moved his fingers, then clenched them into fists and watched her walk away.
It was not until her back completely disappeared that Baisui came in and asked in confusion:
"The prince clearly asked Doctor Situ to lead people into the mountains, why didn't he tell her the truth?"
Xiao Chenyan looked silent, but he still seemed to feel the warmth from the woman's lips in the palm of his right hand, rubbing and scratching it for a long time.
It made him extremely upset.
Half an incense stick later, the guards came to report:
"Your Highness, the princess has left the palace with Madam Mu. They seem to be heading towards the Infant-Eating Mountain."
"Nonsense!" Xiao Chenyan's face sank. He stood up and strode out.
A carriage drove straight out of the city.
Hongrui was driving the horse outside, and Mu Ying was lying in the carriage, sleeping soundly.
Luqiao was serving by the side, stealing glances at Qingwu cautiously and wanting to speak several times.
Qing Wu closed her eyes, and her whole body exuded a cold aura that kept strangers away.
It would be more convenient for her to go out alone to look for someone, but she was worried that during the time she was away, people from the Minister's Mansion would come to take Mu Ying away.
At first she thought that Xiao Chenyan would not stand idly by.
But now it’s not certain.
What if this man finds it troublesome and directly sends someone to capture Mu Ying?
After all, he didn't trust her.
She didn't dare to trust him now.
The carriage drove all the way out of the city, and after walking for another ten miles or so, the sky gradually darkened, a golden sun set in the distance, and the sunset glow filled the sky like residual blood.
The whole journey continued without stopping until the main road disappeared and a forest blocked the way. Only then did the carriage have to stop.
Hong Rui: "Princess, we have arrived at the Infant-Eating Mountain. The carriage cannot go up the road behind."
Qing Wu lifted the curtain and came out, standing on the shaft of the carriage and looking into the distance, frowning.
There is a faint fishy smell in the wind blowing towards us, but ordinary people cannot smell it.
Judge's Pen: "Awu, I'm afraid there are some troublemakers in this mountain."
"I can smell it." Qing Wu narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly. "Mountains have spirits. This mountain is adjacent to the capital, and is closest to where dragon energy gathers. Logically, it should be full of spirits."
"But the spiritual charm of this mountain is muddy, the bloody wind is causing trouble, and the divinity is gradually fading. It's a bit weird."
"Infant-eating mountain, huh, it seems that this name is not groundless."
Qing Wu had a plan in mind, and said to the two women, "You stay in the car and take care of Madam Mu."
The two women were stunned.
"How can this be done, Princess? It is better to leave only one person behind, and let the other accompany you..."
"Need not."
Qing Wu shook her head, jumped off the carriage, thought for a moment, and then drew an iris on the shaft of the carriage.
After the leaves are connected, there is a line of mysterious runes, which is the demon-suppressing talisman created by Qing Wu herself.
"Remember, don't leave the carriage after the sun sets."
"Ignore anyone who calls you."
"Even if it's me."
After saying that, Qing Wu went straight towards the mountain road.
"Princess--" Lu Qiao was anxious, but in the blink of an eye, Qing Wu's figure disappeared.
Hong Rui was helpless: "Let's just listen to her. With the princess's age, we might just be a burden if we follow her."
"Okay, but the princess really cares about Madam Mu, but isn't she the daughter of Queen Yun? Logically, you shouldn't care about Madam Mu so much."
"Who knows? After all, she is willing to help Madam Mu, which is great." Hong Rui said softly, "Madam Mu is Princess Qingwu's cousin. If the princess were here, she would definitely not be able to stand her cousin being bullied like this."
Lu Qiao nodded vigorously: "We have no chance to repay the little princess for saving our lives, so we must help her take good care of Madam Mu."
As they were talking, the two women felt the ground shaking, as if there were quite a few people riding horses towards them.
The two girls looked alert, and when they saw the familiar group of people marching in the distance, they were shocked, especially when the leader was...
"Your Majesty?"
Xiao Chenyan pulled the reins with one hand to stop the horse: "Where is Yun Qingwu?"
Luqiao pointed to the deep mountains and said, "The king and princess went up the mountain alone."
Xiao Chenyan frowned, and his eyes fixed on the gorgeous iris painted on the shaft of the carriage.
He pointed at the iris and asked: "Who painted this iris?"
"It's the princess."
Xiao Chenyan's heart suddenly tightened, and an absurd thought once again came to his mind.
In the past, he once taught a little girl how to draw irises.
Too similar, exactly the same...
"Leave two people to guard, and the rest of you follow King Yu into the mountain!"
