Outside, the wind was howling, but inside the carriage it was warm. Cang Yuan ultimately did not give Qu Qingxi the antidote. Zhou Wenli said that Qu Qingxi was very skilled, and most importantly, she was very good at using silver needles. Although he had already ordered the maid to search Qu Qingxi's body in the carriage and remove all the silver needles and poison from her body.
But he still felt uneasy.
"Where are we now?" After a long silence in the carriage, Qu Qingxi couldn't help but ask. She could tell that the carriage wasn't moving fast, but with all the swaying and rocking, she really couldn't tell which way to go.
"Don't worry, I'll give you the antidote after tomorrow." Cang Yuan smiled gently at Qu Qingxi, his smile bright and sincere, making him look like a sunny young man. It was hard to believe that he would kidnap her.
Qu Qingxi cursed inwardly. Even now, having been brought here by Cang Yuan, she couldn't feel the slightest bit of resentment towards him when she saw his smile.
"Stop the carriage, I need to relieve myself." Cang Yuan said nothing, so Qu Qingxi decided to go out and see for herself. No matter what, she needed to know where she had been taken.
Cang Yuan was surprised when Qu Qingxi suddenly said that. He glanced at Qu Qingxi in surprise, but then remembered that Qu Qingxi had been drugged by him since noon and had been here ever since she woke up. He thought he should indeed relieve himself.
"Alright then, but you're not allowed to run away." Cang Yuan smiled at Qu Qingxi, then shouted outside, "Stop the car."
The carriage soon came to a stop, and Cang Yuan approached Qu Qingxi and picked her up in his arms.
"Cang Yuan, what are you trying to do? You're not going to help me relieve myself, are you?" Qu Qingxi frowned at Cang Yuan. She had thought that if she said she needed to relieve herself, Cang Yuan would give her the antidote, but why was he picking her up?!
Upon hearing this, Cang Yuan looked down at the person in his arms and said, "Don't worry, it won't happen."
"Put me down, Cangyuan. If you're worried about me, you can give me a little bit of the antidote." Qu Qingxi began to discuss with Cangyuan.
It's incredibly strange for a man to carry you to the toilet.
Cang Yuan stopped and thought for a moment, then shook his head under Qu Qingxi's hopeful gaze. "No, what if you run away?"
"How can I run when I'm like this?" Qu Qingxi closed her eyes speechlessly.
Cang Yuan carried Qu Qingxi off the carriage. It was pitch black outside, and the moon was also obscured tonight, but it was clear that they were on the official road. Cang Yuan carried Qu Qingxi to a small earthen mound and then put her down.
He helped her stand up, then took off his own cloak and tied it for Qu Qingxi. The cloak was very heavy. Normally, Qu Qingxi wouldn't have felt anything, but now she was so weak that the cloak almost made her stumble.
Cang Yuan hadn't expected this either. He smiled and helped Qu Qingxi up, then glanced behind him. Soon, a maid came over and helped Qu Qingxi from the other side.
"Keep a close eye on Miss Qu. You know the consequences if anything happens to her." Cang Yuan glanced at the maid.
Although Cang Yuan's tone was calm, the little maidservant involuntarily shrank back when she heard his words, nodding repeatedly, "This servant understands."
After Cang Yuan finished speaking, he glanced at Qu Qingxi again before turning and leaving.
After Cangyuan walked away, the little maid reached out to Qu Qingxi's waist, but Qu Qingxi stopped her.
"No need, take off my cloak for me, I can do it myself."
Qu Qingxi could tolerate others serving her other tasks, but she really couldn't stand having to undo her pants. If she took off her cloak, she should be able to relieve herself by herself.
"This..." The little maid was clearly hesitant.
"What are you still standing there for? I'm right here, I'm not going to run away."
"Yes." The little maid nodded, and could only untie the cloak that Cang Yuan had just tied to Qu Qingxi. After making sure Qu Qingxi was standing properly, she took two steps back while still holding the cloak.
Qu Qingxi calmed herself down, and after taking off the cloak, she felt much more relaxed.
After struggling to relieve herself and getting dressed, Qu Qingxi turned her head slightly and said, "Okay, come and help me."
The maid nodded, first tying Qu Qingxi's cloak back on, then helping Qu Qingxi walk towards the carriage.
Qu Qingxi only noticed the carriage at this moment. The carriage was very large, and from a distance it looked almost like a small house. Lanterns were hung all around the carriage, illuminating the surroundings.
Even as the cold wind howled, the lanterns did not budge. Three fine horses pulled the carriage ahead, and two tall figures stood beside it.
Seeing Qu Qingxi approaching, Cang Yuan immediately ran over and, just like before, picked her up in his arms. He gave the maid a wink, and the maid understood, carrying a small lantern as she headed towards the spot where Qu Qingxi had relieved herself.
Qu Qingxi noticed Cang Yuan's actions, of course. She knew that Cang Yuan suspected her and wondered if she had taken the opportunity to leave some clues in that place.
Cangzhu stood beside the carriage, watching Cangyuan's actions, hesitant to speak. His young master had actually kidnapped the Princess of Nanqing; it was truly outrageous.
Cang Yuan carried Qu Qingxi into the carriage, helped her sit down, and then took some water from the side to wash her hands gently and carefully.
At this moment, the curtain in front moved slightly, and the little maidservant peeked out, shook her head almost imperceptibly at Cang Yuan, and then lowered the curtain again.
Seeing Qu Qingxi staring at him, Cang Yuan asked softly, "What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"
"You doubt me?" Qu Qingxi leaned against the cushion. She had used up all her strength when she relieved herself, and she really didn't have the strength to do anything else.
"I don't doubt you, it's just that I'm always been cautious. There's a saying, 'Better safe than sorry,'" Cang Yuan smiled faintly.
Then he took out a food box from the cabinet next to him, placed it on the table between the two of them, opened the food box, and the aroma inside wafted out, instantly filling the entire carriage.
"Look, here are your favorite chestnut cake and pine nut cake, and your favorite tea." Cang Yuan said, taking out a pot of tea from the side and pouring a cup for Qu Qingxi.
To Qu Qingxi's surprise, the tea that was poured out was still steaming.
Qu Qingxi turned slightly to look at the cabinet behind Cang Yuan, wanting to see what kind of design it had that made it so special.
Noticing Qu Qingxi's curious gaze, Cang Yuan smiled and then moved aside to make room for Qu Qingxi to see clearly.
