Chapter 61: Try moving again?
Zhao Wanyu was sandwiched between the two of them, watching the two little garlic sprouts bickering and laughing heartily.
Even Emperor Jingyuan couldn't do anything to this little ancestor Xiaoliu when she came to him. I didn't expect that she could be so cowardly.
It is true that there is always someone who can defeat you.
Xihe was taken back to the palace by the big bad wolf under Zhao Wanyu's helpless gaze.
Along the way, a quail carefully tried to please the big bad wolf.
"I heard someone wants to marry a prince consort? And he wants ten or eight more?"
The little quail lowered his head and said, "No... No, I don't want ten or eight!"
"I want to hear the truth." Xiao Mingxuan said coldly with an indifferent expression.
Xihe quietly assessed the other person's expression and dropped a bombshell, "I...actually I wanted about twenty."
Xiao Mingxuan: "..."
He licked his back teeth, and suddenly realized that Nangong Yan's words didn't seem so alarmist. It took him a long time to find his voice. "Twenty or so?"
The little girl said "hmm".
The next second, he received a sneer from the other party.
"Zhao Xihe, I suddenly want to throw you out of this carriage."
Xiao Mingxuan's expression was too terrifying. He almost suppressed the paranoia that was about to burst out, and squeezed out every word from between his teeth.
Xihe suddenly shuddered and stuttered, "No... can't I?"
Xiao Mingxuan laughed softly. Xihe couldn't see his expression, but she subconsciously felt creepy.
His hand gently stroked the little girl's cheek, but it was a little too heavy.
Xihe cried out in pain and tried to dodge, but was stopped by a roar.
"Try moving again!"
Xiao Mingxuan had always been gentle and easy to talk to her, and Xihe felt for a moment that the person in front of her was extremely unfamiliar.
No, maybe it's not unfamiliar.
A long time ago, when they first met, Xiao Mingxuan was like this, like a passing thunder and gust of wind, looking at him coldly.
"Zhao Xihe, have you ever forgotten what I told you?" Xiao Mingxuan stroked the little girl's chin with one hand and said slowly, "Didn't I tell you that if you wanted a prince consort, you should tell me?"
Xihe felt a little pain in her chin, but she didn't dare to anger the big bad wolf again at this time, so she nodded slightly.
"Then why do you need more than twenty?" The dark color in Xiao Mingxuan's eyes grew darker and darker, as if something stormy was about to happen. "You're hiding from me, you don't want to tell me? By the time I find out, you'll have already married everyone?"
It was impossible for Xiao Mingxuan to stay with her all the time. As soon as he thought that Xihe would be kidnapped if he was not careful, the beast in his heart would break out of the cage and tear everything apart.
Xihe took several deep breaths to control her trembling body. She grabbed Xiao Mingxuan's arm and said, "Little brother, please let me go first, okay? It hurts so much."
Why did the Big Bad Wolf suddenly go crazy?
A trace of clarity flashed in Xiao Mingxuan's eyes. He exerted a little more strength but did not let go. "What? Are you afraid of me?"
The little girl immediately shook her head, "No... no, absolutely not!"
Xiao Mingxuan snorted coldly and loosened his hand. When he touched the red mark where he had touched, his eyes narrowed. His voice was a little hoarse. He covered his face and turned away, "Sorry, Xiao Xier, I lost my composure."
No one spoke in the carriage, only the sound of the wheels passing by.
Xiao Mingxuan looked annoyed. He didn't expect that he would suddenly lose his composure.
Suddenly, there was a rustling sound beside him. Xiao Mingxuan felt that the person next to him was leaning on his back, and his shallow breathing was almost audible.
"Little brother, do you... not want me to find a prince consort?"
Perhaps because his emotions had already started to explode, Xiao Mingxuan suddenly didn't want to suppress his thoughts anymore. "Yes, I don't want you to find a prince consort. With a prince consort, Xiao Xier's eyes won't just stay on brother."
The wind blew up the curtains and sprinkled them on Xiao Mingxuan's cheeks, making him feel a little calmer.
"Then... I won't look for you, okay?" Xihe suddenly said, "If little brother is angry about this, then Xihe won't look for you. I'll stay with little brother, okay?"
Xihe's voice was so light that it seemed to be blurred by the wind.
Xiao Mingxuan suddenly turned around and met the little girl's smiling eyes. He asked in a hoarse voice, "Xiao Xi'er, what did you say?"
Xihe thought Xiao Mingxuan didn't hear clearly, so he had to repeat himself, "I said I'm not looking for a prince consort anymore. Can I accompany my little brother?"
Xiao Mingxuan laughed out loud, "Silly girl, do you know what this means?"
Xihe blinked her eyes, full of confusion, "Little brother wants me to look at you, so I'll look at you, is there any problem?"
Xiao Mingxuan thought to himself, "As expected," but he had no intention of correcting it.
Xihe can't tell the difference between companionship and love, so take it slow.
Feelings should be cultivated slowly, and people must be their own.

Shortly after the New Year, Xihe resumed attending school every day, and Xiao Mingxuan came to pick her up every day as usual.
Five days later, Zhao Wanyu set off for the border.
It was a rare sunny day, a beautiful one. Xihe gave Zhao Wanyu the amulet she had prepared and watched her figure gradually disappear into the horizon.
The next day, Qingyuan came to report that the old nanny had sent in a woman from Chunfeng Tower disguised as a palace maid.
"Princess, that woman...is not very clean." Qing Yuan pondered for a long time and changed his words.
To say that she was unclean was an understatement. The woman that the old nanny sent in had many diseases, some of which might be contagious.
"Has anyone come in?"
Qing Yuan bowed his head and apologized, "It was my incompetence that prevented me from killing him outside the palace."
"Alright, alright, Sister Qingyuan, please get up. It's not your fault. Everyone gets distracted sometimes. You should think about what to do." Xihe supported her chin with some distress. "I don't want anyone to get sick. It's so uncomfortable to be sick."
At first, Xihe just wanted to capture the person and then hand him over to Emperor Jingyuan.
She went to Yuanyang Palace every day and knew more.
The empress dowager contacted some court officials and wanted to jointly submit a petition to restore Yun Hou's position in the name of filial piety, and also wanted to release Yun Shufei.
The best way at this time is for the Yun family to make a mistake themselves, so that Emperor Jingyuan can use this as an excuse to withdraw the proposal.
Hearing this, Qing Yuan's expression changed. He opened his mouth and said with difficulty, "Princess, our lives are worthless. If we can bring down the Yun family, it would be considered... a worthy death."
"Don't talk nonsense!" The little girl's face suddenly darkened, a hint of anger on her palm-sized face. "Sister Qingyuan, don't be like this. You're alive and well, why do you have to die? Life is precious and strong. Don't give up easily."
"Yes." Qing Yuan agreed and stood aside.
"If there was a way to isolate these diseases so that people don't get infected, that would be great."
The person has just entered the palace, so the virus should not have spread widely yet.
